Need help unlocking bootloader again.... - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Need help unlocking bootloader again.... - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

So I initially unlocked bootloader and was going to flash recovery and a custom Rom, but I thought I read I have to relock then use the AT&T update to ICS and then unlock again. So I am at the point where I need to unlock the bootloader and it never seems to complete. I have left the command running for over 10 minutes but it doesn't finish. It did this before I upgraded to ICS but eventually did go through. This time it just doesn't seem to work. I have been booting into hboot, then switching to fastboot, the running the command to unlock,, but it just sits at that point. Anyone have any suggestions besides using the guide or the supertool. I have tried the guide and the supertool but neither is working now.
Oh yeah, this is on my new Vivid I just got. I'm not quite a noob as I have rooted my other phones.

Retry on the HTC dev site ....it might help u

Thanks, I tried again today and for some reason it went through smooth. Wonder if it has something to do with the USB port on one computer vs on my laptop. Weird, but I got it unlocked, rooted and loaded the Virtuous Inquisition ROM.
Thanks for the help.

Is there any way for me to downgrade my ISC to GB?

Flash the GB ROM and corresponding kernel of your choice. You just can't go back to the old hboot... but can still flash GB ROMS on the new hboot.

Thanks for the help but I do not have my phone rooted right now. I've been trying for like the past hours with the all in one kit from hasooon, but I cannot seem to get it to work. I have unlocked my bootloader already. Would that be the reason why?

Could be. I'm pretty sure you need to relock your bootloader before running the RUU...

Is there a way to relock my bootloader? Also, I was trying from your superguide eariler but I just got super confused. If you could help me, that would be great.

I actually have ICS updated from GB today with the new AT&T. Now that I've updated my OS, I have no idea how to root my phone anymore because there are only posts for 2.3.4 GB. I've actually tried the permroot from hasoon, but I can't seem to get that to work.

Well, to relock the bootloader, you can either use hasoon2000's Vivid All-In-One Toolkit, which has pretty much everything you need to relock the bootloader.
Otherwise, you boot into the bootloader and into fastboot, and follow the steps for relocking the bootloader in part 6 of the Superguide.

I actually have a question. I can't boot into bootloader by holding down power and down volume...

Successfully relocked my bootloader. Many thanks!
Okay now to root my phone. Could you tell me the exact steps to do it? I am having a lot of trouble. I run it with debugging USB on, it will then restart my phone, first it will appear something like a circle with a down arrow inside it. Afterwards, there will be a triangle icon that's red with another arrow. On the Command, it will say device not found for all files then press any key.
Appreciate your help!

You need to unlock your bootloader once again. Then root it. Use the All-In-One toolkit, it will be much easier.
unlock bootloader > then flash the wcx recovery and that should root it.

So all I need to do is unlock bootloader once again, flash the wcx recovery, then I'll be good to go. I think the reason is because I flashed the first CMW recovery. That may be the reason.

Yea, the CWM is a bad idea on the Vivid. Wildchild did a very good job with his WCX recovery. Just unlock your phone again, then click the flash WCX recovery. Wildchild made his recovery so that when flashed, it would automatically give root.

I actually downgraded my phone from ICS to GB. I rooted my phone with zergrush. With my phone unlocked, now it went from temproot, to permroot. I am actually trying to find a rom for my phone that I can play around with without getting bored. I want to just leave it as S-On instead of off. Hope you can help with a little bit with that.

[Q] [UPDATE WITH SOLUTION] RUU 155 Error with HTC ONE Developer Edition

I am having an issue that I have not seen before and could not find any resolve thru XDA or Google. I am attempting to restore the 64G Developer Edition with the RUU from HTC Dev and I keep getting the 155 error. I even have attempted to install thru CWM the .zip. Still no avail.
I am currently rooted, and have CWM installed. The device is obviously Bootloader unlock. What I was able to find is that it possibly could be a issue that it is bootloader unlocked as some posts suggest to have you bootloader locked to install RUU, but that is obviosely not a posibility with the dev ed.
So what am I doing wrong, or what is the issue. I have confirmed that I was using the correct RUU.
Help Appreciated
UPDATE
Ok, I figured out how to avoid the RUU 155 error. It seems that HTC for some dumb reason, although for a unlocked developer edition, we still have to lock the bootloader to utilize the RUU. Here are the steps I have done.
Although it is straight forward and easy to do, issues could always arise. I do not take any responsibility if things go wrong. Educate yourself first before attempting anything. If you do not know what you are doing, then don't do it.
Before Starting.
Make sure you have the latest HTC Drivers. You can use hasoon2000 HTC All-In-One Toolkit to complete that. That can be found at HTC One All-In-One Toolkit
Get the appropriate RUU from HTC Dev
1. Lock your bootloader through by booting into hoot and then going into fastboot and issuing the command fasboot oem lock.
2. Once locked, reboot your system.
3. Open RUU and follow onscreen instructions.
Notice, this will delete all of the files on the system so do this on your own cognition
4. Let the RUU do its thing. If you get an error during the process, such as 152, simply try again. I had it happen once. The phone was stuck on the black HTC screen with four triangles with exclamation points in each corner. If this happens you will not be able to reboot your phone. Simply relaunch RUU and it should reinstall it. If you get error 155 again, then you have not re-locked your bootloader.
3.Once you have successfully reinstalled the rom, you have to register with the HTC Dev to re-unlock your bootloader if that is what you want. The easiest to do this I found was by using the HTC One All-In-One Toolkit. It is a great tool and will help you with majority of things that I have mentioned above, including locking your bootloader. Follow the steps on the toolkit and you'll be all set. The Toolkit can be found here HTC One All-In-One Toolkit
If you found this helpful, click thanks. Also hit thanks to hasoon2000 for creating the toolkit.

Gotta re lock your bootloader
fastboot oem lock

I got relock it even though it came unlocked? How would I unlock it again since I don't have the tokens from HTC development, or is the ruu gonna do that by itself.

I was having same issues as OP. After using the lock command, the update got longer. The black HTC screen even got as far as a progress bar. Well I now got ERROR 152 saying I should get the correct RUU. I am sure I have the right one, because there is only ONE developer edition RUU file from htcdev.com
Problem now is, I have the black HTC screen with warning signs on each corner.
One thing I saw on a video is you are supposed to restore to the same version? I had updated OTA Z(1.29.1540.16) to the latest which I cant get an RUU for. The RUU available is 1.29.1540.3 no other available. What do I do now? HTC One Dev Edition stuck on black screen with warning signs on all corners.
All I can see now is a scren that says:
***TAMPERED***
***RELOCKED***
bunch of numbers and letters in green and
RUU in orange

When I was doing it, the first time I got the 152 error. I simply just redid it and it accepted it on the second try. Trying relaunching RUU that you have and try the install again. That's at least how it worked with me.

Did you get that black HTC screen with warning signs on each corner? I am re-running the RUU, hope it works or I just lost $650.
EDIT: You used RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.3.exe right? Were you already OTA updated? I wonder why htcdev web says BrightstarUS for the dev edition instead of something else...
EDIT2: Its on that black screen with loading thing again... still exclamation marks on every corner... hope this works or else it won't be a nice first experience with Android coming from iOS lol and I've jailbroken and tinkered on those devices for so long.

Yeah 2nd attempt the same error 152. I just lost $650 right?
The green bar goes all the way to the end, it sends it all, but it doesnt reboot. It just gets error. What else can I try? Device isnt even 3 days old.
Did it a third time, after Updating Radio, thats where the error appears.

What was the software version that it came with. Was it with the most recent one? I think 1.29.401.16 one?

It came with the .3 and I did OTA to .16
The RUU you can get online from their web is only .3
===============================
Ok so... that black HTC screen accepts "fastboot" commands.
I downloaded the .ZIP version of the Developer Edition OS.
I went in command prompt, I typed
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip PN07IMG_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.3.zip
****GOT AN ERROR*****
Code:
FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)
.... so again:
fastboot flash zip PN07IMG_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.3.zip
10 minutes later
fastboot reboot
Oh my was I happy to see the white HTC Startup.

I also have same phone de it shouldnt be tamperd relocked it should be only relocked

I find it funny now far Computer OS's have come and yet we always have to go back to good old DOS Command Prompt to fix things.
BTW, my phone now has bootloader RELOCKED due to the fastboot oem lock command, should I send the phone back just like that or unlock bootloader before sending it back?
I guess to Unlock bootloader again, I have to follow same instructions as if it were an AT&T version right? Did you UNLOCK yours again OP?

U sending it back to HTC?

Yes, that is the reason I was doing all this restoring. I had ROOTed it to install AdAway. Ads is the only major drawback when compared to iOS (this is my first Android). When you see a gray image on my phone, there are 3 sort of water drops. Like between the touch screen and LCD.
Well, I am exchanging it actually. I like the HTC One a lot. It has a tiny gap, but I dont care about that much, the weird discoloration on the sceen, though, I do mind.

That makes sense.

THANK YOU MAN!!!!!!!! You just saved me. I had the same problem except I had OTA .17 and trying to flash .16. My device was all jacked up but it's back to original.

Actually I used titanium backup to back those apps that disappear during root before I unlocked anything. Then once I rooted and unlocked I just restored them back with titanium and all was fine. But in reality you don't want to so an ota when you are rooted as you might loose root.

Can't you re-unlock the phone using following command without going through the HTCDev website mess?
Code:
fastboot oem unlock

Just a heads up. I was able to return to stock using the RUU without locking the bootloader. It took a while to figure it out.
I went from ARHD 31 to A stock rom (m7_stock_dev_1.29.1540.16_signed_052313.zip) found on an old thread, also had to find a stock recovery that would work (i think it was the one liked in the ARHD thread) and used the revone S-off method, then applied the latest RUU from the htc dev site .and it installed and the bootloader remained unlocked.
I had to get this thing ready for someone who bought it. They asked if i could return it to stock with S-off. It was a pain in the but, but got it working

Stuck trying to get back to unlock/root

I got my phone back from repair and I'm confused ass to what to do next. I'm set to 'relocked' bootloader, but s-off without recovery or su apparently on 4.3. Every guide I find requires me to do something that causes things to come to as halt. Unless I'm doing something wrong I can't flash a recovery due to some error, then can't flash anything through recovery obviously, and I tried rumrunner but that stalls out after some point saying 'device is not rooted AND unsecure kernel'. What do I do next? Will HTCDev work? That's how I originally unlocked at release.
Really need help here, leaving the country for 3 weeks thursday morning and want to be back in business.
included pic of bootloader

yeah unlock again at htc dev then you will be able to flash a recovery
Or look here

Thanks, had a feeling I needed to HTCDev again but didn't want to risk it given my limited time. Took some tinkering but looks like I'm unlocked and rooted again. Thanks BD.

[Q] I think I screwed my HTC One.

So, I bought a second hand Sprint HTC One from Craigslist about a week ago.. First think I did was followed QBKing77's guide on how to unlock bootloader and root. Did that fairly easily, then went through this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386703 ) to unlock it, had to do the steps in this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491840 ) to get it to work since I had Android 4.3 and was unsure on how to go backwards to Android 4.2.2. After I got my phone unlocked, I went and got a Net10 SIM card and a month card, activated it, threw it in my One, and.. Nothing. No signal what so ever on GSM. It does recognize my SIM, though. So, I flashed to the original Radio from Sprint ( 1.00.20.0315 ), but still couldn't connect to GSM networks. I called Sprint, and they said my phone was still active on a plan, so I went hunting for a way around that.. I saw some things about flashing to Cricket, but I didn't want that. After relocking my bootloader and trying to RUU a few times, and none of them working, I thought I should update the Firmware. So, I downloaded some UL update for 3.62.401.1 without thinking, flashed it onto my device, and when I booted it up, it started a boot loop. I could navigate the phone for a while, but after about 5 minutes of it being turned on, it would reboot. So, I went into TWRP>wipe>advanced wipe> selected Dalvik Cache, Cache, and System. After that, my system now hangs on the HTC boot screen. I can still get into Bootloader, Fastboot, and Recovery. I tried flashing to TWRP 2.5.0.0, but my touch screen stopped working in TWRP when I did that. I just flashed back to 2.6.3.0, and my touch works again in TWRP. I can't get ADB Sideloader to work.. Currently, my Bootloader is Unlocked, S-Off, superCID, HBoot 1.55.0000, Radio 4A.21.3262.04, OpenDSP v32.120.274.0909, OS 1.29.651.10. That's about all the info I can get from Bootloader. It still says Tampered as well.
What should I do? My first step is to hopefully get back to where I can actually see the homescreen.. After that, I'd like to be able to get my phone to work on GSM.. I don't know if that is possible, though. I haven't found anything about someone having a phone that is still on a Sprint plan and being able to use GSM in the US.

[Q] Rooting Gone Bad on HTC One-Sprint

Hi all,
I've been attempting to and failing for the last few days to get a custom ROM installed on My HTC one from Sprint. About an hour ago, I realized what the problem was but unfortunately have found no way of fixing this.
So far, I have unlocked the phone using the instructions from the HTCDev site as well as installed CWM/ TWRP Bootloaders and rooted with SU installed. I wiped all of the information off of the phone and as far as I know, the original OS is no longer available. I am able to access recovery and bootloader mode no problem and can install ROM's but they do not work fully as prior to rooting, I did not turn S-Off. It is currently on and I am stuck on how exactly to proceed.
Ideally, I would like for some way to be able to turn S-off, however, because I cannot access the operating system, I have no way of running rumrunner to get it done. At best, I can turn the phone on for about 2.5 minutes before it reboots and repeats the process. Added to that, whenever I unlock the screen, only the HTC logo shows up, there's no way to access anything else. I am able to copy files to storage during that time though.
Alternatively, I would like to return it to it's original state, but trying that has failed on multiple occasions. All of the guides that I have seen to return to stock require that you either have access to the operating system (without the reboot) or have S-Off, none of which I have.
Also, during the time that the OS loads, adb does not recognize the device. Its recognized in bootloader mode and Hboot, just not during 'regular' operation.
I would appreciate any assistance that could be provided as I really need to get this phone working.
Thanks! :good:

Thanks! Worked like a charm. Don't know why it never showed up in my search results though. Just gotta get this phone unlocked for GSM now.

Another problem
So I finally got my HTC one from sprint unlocked but I ran into another problem. Whenever I insert a GSM sim into the phone, I cannot get any signal. An 'x' is shown over my signal bar. Have already flashed the old version of the radio but I still get the same result. Currently running viper rom 5.7. Bootloader is unlocked, S-off and rooted.
Any idea what else I can do? Got the PN 072 version if that helps
BTW, I am using a Domestic GSM sim

I REALLY don't get why people buy a CDMA phone to use on GSM networks.... That said this is a known issue if you're running KitKat. No solution last I checked.

Main reason I got it was cause it seemed like there was a GSM radio in the CDMA version and I travel quite often out of state. Being able to use it locally would simply be a huge bonus. Will try downgrading to 4.3 or 4.1 to see if there's any change.
