Hey there! I'm currently going through the process of unlocking the bootloader on an old Desire 610 I had lying around, and was stuck following the HTCDev website instructions. It tells me to execute the command "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" but it won't go through, even though the phone is in the fastboot menu, connected via USB and displays "FASTBOOT USB" on the screen. Can anyone help?

Not sure this is your issue but with Mac you need to start all commands with ./

Okay, so i'm using this guide to relock my bootloader and i've gotten to the part where I must enter in the command "fastboot oem lock." My phone just sits at "waiting for device." I read somewhere that the USB connection might not be 100% in the phone, so when I adjusted the plug, the computer unrecognized the device and I cannot do anything. The connection comes and goes as it pleases.
I've had this phone for about a good 4 months now, was getting bored so i decide to unlock the bootloader, root, and install a new rom. Then i heard youwer able to activate the HTC logo button to wake and sleep your device with using a different kernel. tbaldens kernel v3.6. I have TWRP recovery installed with trickdroid as my rom.After i ran threw all the procedures to flash in Aroma installer. My phone won't turn on, when i connect it to my computer it shows up as a MTP device. When I do get it to power on its stuck at the "quietly brilliant" screen. cant get into recovery to restore from back up. PLEASE HELP! SOLDIER DEPLOYED!!!!!!!! dont have the means of sending it in. Any suggestion. Mac is my primary means of rooting. windows 8 drivers are kinda funky:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
If you have access to a Windows 7 PC, then download the RUU for your device. Next, relock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock) Next step, if you have bootloader access to your device, then you can go into fastboot (make sure it says fastboot USB). Open a command prompt, and type in fastboot oem rebootRUU. You're in RUU mode, where you can run the RUU and reset everything back to stock.

Ahhhh thankfully i was able to get into my bootloader and flash my recovery! but thanks for the reply bro
I recently purchased 2 Asus TF103C stocked with Android 4.4.2 and running on an Intel processor. I'd like to load a custom OS/ ROM to them for work however I have not had any success finding a process that allows me to do so. I have managed to root the tablet successfully but that is the extent of my accomplishment to date. I understand that this is a fairly new device and not much has been uncovered yet to achieve this task. Asus is also hesistant to release an unlocked bootlooder update. If anyone is aware of a process whether through adb or the likes please raise your voice to help the community out on this one.

Before following steps bellow mentioned don't forget to install USB and ADB drivers
Also download minimal ADB and Fastboot tools ( for links use google search its easily available)
Configure your compute for fastboot Enable USB debugging on the device.
Connect the device to the computer through USB.
From a terminal on a computer, type the following to boot the device into fastboot mode
$*adb*reboot bootloader
Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing*
fastboot devices
If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>",
fastboot is not configured properly on your machine.
If you see "no permissionsfastboot", try running
fastboot as root.
From the same terminal, type the following command to get info of the bootloader:
fastboot oem-info
To unlock type
fastboot oem unlock
And press enter
May this will unlock your boot loader in general

Hello, I tried your command suggestions to unlock the bootloader and they failed. The command 'fastboot oem-info' does not return anything and 'fastboot oem unlock' returns RESULT: FAIL (unkown OEM command) on the tablet and in the cmd window. Thanks for the suggested attempt nonetheless.
Still having this problem
fastboot oem unlock fails on the TF103C and it says RESULT:FAIL(unknown OEM command). It would be great if Asus could release a tf103c_unlock.apk utility like they have for other Asus tablets (for instance the TF701T has tf701_unlock.apk which works).
Asus, please help!
Ok I've searched the threads as thorough as possible and I've tried multiple times but I'm getting stuck at the bootloader unlock for my LG V10.
So I followed the root guide here on XDA (the one with the 3 PDF's) and I run the following:
c:/>adb reboot bootloader
That gets my phone into the screen with the small text in the top left that says "Fastboot ....."
I then proceed to type
c:/>fastboot oem unlock
All I get is the <waiting for device>
So question is am I missing a step or something? I already have the OEM unlock and USB debug checked in the dev. options and yes I'm using the exact USB cable that came with my phone from TMo.

It's a problem with adb and the way you set it up. Go to the folder you have the adb files in. Mine is in c:/adb. Then hold shift + right click and choose "open cmd window here" something to that effect. Then run the fastboot oem unlock command.

Hi guys,
In the past days i've been troubling my head with trying to unlock the bootloader on my lenovo tb-x103f, but cant seem to enter fastboot mode
I've been using this guide as reference, among other searches from all around, trying to work around this, but cant really seem to come to the bottom of this.
from cmd
adb recognizes my device
"adb reboot bootloader" tablet just boots into the startupscreen
"fastboot devices" somehow "confirms" that im in fastboot, even tho Im acctually not (right?)
"fastboot oem unlock-go" finishes, and says its successfull, but nothing happens (obviusly, since its not acctually in fastboot mode)
from there it just sits there, and nothing happens. have to reboot it myself, either via cmd or the button
why is it not entering fastboot mode? is there any fix for this?
This is getting really frustrating as I just wanna root the tablet and most likely install lineageOS, or some other custom ROM..
thanks in advance
If you can reboot it with a command than you are connected in fastboot mode. It sounds like you have unlocked you tablet. Enter fastboot mode through adb again and try "fastboot oem device-info"
