You just need to bring up cmd prompt and navigate to the folder where you extracted the zip and run the command from there.

Haven't tried a nandroid yet. Will try it shortly though.
See my post above. You don't need anything with adb. Open cmd prompt and navigate to the folder where you extracted the zip and run the command from there.

yeah, works fine through command prompt... in my desire to get CWM and Nandroid, I didn't realize that the instructions were less than clear on that step... should have remembered.
To Confirm... Nandroid works... though it did hang for a bit, it did finally wake up and complete.

When you extracted it puts it in a folder called fastboot or something like that. I just took all of the files out of that folder and put them in the main folder I was using or you can just navigate to that specific folder. I hope that made sense. I'm fairly certain that is your problem.

I was able to root my HTC Raider using the HTC Super tool. However, I am unable to flash the root_recovery.img in order to have CWM. Every time I try to flash it, I get the following error"

The Ultimate guide on how to do everything for noobs
Anyone taking these steps please be aware, you do this as your own choice/Risk....If you have anything important on your phone, back it up right now before you proceed....as everything will be wiped by the bootloader unlock!
Bootloader unlock.
Download this >http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?uma19r3pysr93dr
Unzip into a new folder on your c: called Android (C:/Android)
Plug your Phone into Computer/PC and select charge only.
Follow the guide precisely on HTC
1. Go to HTCDEV website: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
2. Click on "Begin Unlock Bootloader" (create a user if you don't have one)
3. follow the instructions step 1 through step 10 on htcdev.com
4. In step 10, when posting your token, make sure you remove the blanks preceding each line
5. After you receive your Unlock_code.bin in email, follow step 11.
6. Now your rezound should reboot and you have your bootloader unlocked.
so you have updated the HBOOT and unlock bootloader....
Good now for the next bit.
If by chance you cannot unlock via HTC Dev please tell me as i maybe able to help you on that.
I require knowing which RUU you have installed, this u will find out by using HTC Dev.
Using HBOOT 1.0.7 and updating should be easy and fast.
Installing CWM 5 (Recovery Menu)
Please also read my orther thread on recoverys...it hold same details with extras >http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791707
This is a program installed into the phone itself.
This allows you to do pretty much anything you want.
Main things are Backup and restore of your device.
Flashing of custom Roms
Here is the recovery file >http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=852074&d=1326296914
Save the recovery.img and flash_image in the root of your adb folder.(this means C:/Android)
Now using DOS CMD window
goto C:/Android
*hint, copy the txt in these windows into your DOS window and press enter....it saves time and spelling errors*
DOS txt
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
it should now reboot and show Fastboot USB mode
DOS txt
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
from the hboot menu, go to recovery.
now if above doesn't work and you cannot get into bootloader to flash the cwm. follow this
pull out battery
insert battery
hold volume down key and press power at same time
Hboot will appear
scroll down and select bootloader option, press power.
and your ready now in fastboot usb mode
Rooting
Please note, this method is old, current methods are simply just flash a new rom!
All roms come Pre Rooted with all apps required to run with root (Superuser)
For details in these check out the Android Development forum in our salsa section.
or go here>http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1043
Download this file >http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?pypn6v69o0vnvl9
(This is outdated somewhat and requires updating via Google Play)
place this file on the base of your sd card.
Now goto your new recovery menu.
use this cmd from DOS Windows
Code:
adb reboot recovery
it will reboot automatically
1-Select Install Zip from SDcard
2-Choose Zip from SDcard
3-Find Root.Zip on the SD card
4-Scroll upto Yes-Install Root.zip
it will now flash the root.zip
5-Go back
6-Reboot System Now
Now from here you will have done the following
Unlocked your bootloader
Flashed recovery system
Rooted your stock device.
if by any chance you make a mistake which is not very likely, but odd chance u do...redo the steps per section till you get it right.

Root-2 meanings
System root giving superuser access pr SU
Root of SD - meaning base of sd no folders
ADB Android debug bridge - used with dos commands when phone is plugged into computer via USB cable
extra Utilities are Java SDK

Download and install accordingly to instructions given.
this gives access to more functions via ADB

SuperUser?
Hi BBE,
Followed your tutorial and was successful at every step. But one thing that is bothering me (or maybe I messed up at some step) is that I still do not have the Superuser (Su) rights. I used "Root Check Basic" and it says I have Root access. But when I try to run "Link2sd" or "Titanium Backup" it says I do not have Superuser rights. Is this method supposed to give us Superuser rights? If yes then what should I do now? If no then how can I get Superuser rights for my HTC Salsa?
Thanks.
Zaeem
Look in the apps list and you should see a pirate like app icon. If you do open app up and update it. This should rectify the su problem. If not.gimme a shout

Yea I did update it myself and now I have Su on my Salsa . However the binary is out dated and when I try to update it, it gives me 'failure' status. Downloaded the SuperUser binary installer fix from Market but still getting the error. Any help with that? (I think I am good even with the out dated binary though)

ok goto market, download, SuperSU looks like a large blue hashtag lol.
install that, update it etc, see if that runs, if you get successful updated binary, reboot the phone. u can run with both SU apps, but you would be better removing the old Su in favour of the new one...im gonna look around for a root.zip with new Super Su in there
Hey guys, I have had a lot of requests for how to S Off and Downgrade HBOOT etc.
So here it is! The most easy guide! Read the key first! Also if you are on a custom rom, it will be deleted but then you can install it after this process.
Update: I have updated the Downgrade Toolkit thanks to nonverbose
People who have already completed my guide WILL NOT have to do it again. Also I cant promise that phones shipped with ICS and Sense 3.6 will be compatible with this guide!
Key:
If you have HBOOT 1.13.0000, S On = Follow from Section 3 but if you already have Root Access skip Steps from 13 and onwards
If you have HBOOT 1.16.0000, or HBOOT 2.00 S On= Start from the top
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device! But if you follow word to word, nothing will happen!
*Note if you haven't, install HTC Sync for the drivers then uninstall before doing anything!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1
1. Make a new folder on desktop called 'Downgrade'
2. Download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1254644&stc=1&d=1344674749
3. Make a new folder in 'Downgrade' called 'Downgrade Kit'
4. Extract the download into 'Downgrade Kit'
5. Now you should have a folder called 'Downgrade' on your desktop, inside that should be another folder called 'Downgrade Kit', inside that there should be a folder called 'files' and a program called 'runme.cmd'.
6. Make a new folder inside 'Downgrade' called 'RUU'
7. Download this and save it to folder 'RUU': http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...5AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed.exe
8. Connect phone to computer, and choose ‘Charge Only’ not ‘Disk Drive’. Enable USB Debugging, and disable Fastboot (If you don’t know how to, ask Dr. Google)
9. Open runme.cmd, it will ask questions! Answer according to your phone not mine! The questions are (If I can remember) i) Do you have root? I answered n. ii) Have you unlocked through htcdev.com? I answered no. iii) Do you want to create a goldcard? I answered y
10. After it successfully completes (if it doesn’t post below) run the RUU in the RUU folder (Remember it erases all data so if you need to, backup everything) , it will take around 10 mins. BE PATIENT!
11. After it installs check if your HBOOT has been downgraded! It should be 1.13.0000!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 2
1. Go to (revolutionary.io) and scroll down to hit ‘Downloads for Windows’ (But keep the website open)
2. Download and extract the .zip to a folder
3.Fill in the boxes for the beta key (on the revolutionary website)
You should fill it out like this
Your Operating System: Windows/Linux (Depending on yours)
Your Device: HTC Incredible S
HBOOT Version: 1.13.0000
Serial Number: (Your serial number)
4. Copy and paste that beta key into a notepad file and save it to the desktop! Beware copy and recheck if it matches
5. Connect phone, choose ‘Charge Only’, enable USB Debugging and disable Fastboot
6. Run revolutionary.exe
7. When it asks you to input beta key, do it!
8. When it asks you whether you want to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery, type y
9. Once it is done, the cmd will close
10. Confirm that you have S – Off in the bootloader!
11. So far so good!
12. Reboot into bootloader if you are not and then open up recovery, it should go to Clockwork Mod Recovery
13. While phone is in Clockwork Mod, connect phone to computer
14. Select Mounts and Storage by using the volume buttons to move and power to select.
15. Then select mount sdcard (the sd card directory should pop up on your computer screen)
16. Download the root .zip file and save it to your computer (do NOT extract it) (http://d-h.st/yzV)
17. Copy the root .zip file to the root of your sdcard and wait for it to transfer (not in any folders, just on the sd card itself).
18. On your device, select unmount sdcard.
19. On your device, select go back.
20. Then select Install zip from sdcard and choose the root .zip file.
21. Wait for it to flash, once done, select reboot system now.
22. Once your device reboots, open the app drawer and you should see Superuser permissions there. If so, you are all set, you are rooted, have S-Off and a custom recovery image.

This is a step by step guide to root Nexus 5
PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP of your files on your internal storage.
Unlocking bootloader will ERASE EVERYTHING.
Download the file below
http://d-h.st/YGm
Step1: go to Settings->About Phone > hit the “Build Number” until you get “You are now a developer”.
Step2: go to Settings->“Developer options and turn ON “USB debugging” .
Step3: Connect the device to computer.
Step4: For Windows,we need to install drivers.
Right click on My computer and select Manage and select Device Manager
you should see something like nexus 5,
now double click on that and select update drivers..
choose Browse my computer for device software > let me pick from a list > select install from disk >set path to usb_driver file in
extracted folder.
Now you should see something like Android ADB Interface..(do it again if you dont see this)
Step5: Next, open command prompt(win+r > cmd) and type: cd downloads ( or wherever you have downloaded the file to )
cd Nexus5
adb devices
you should get : 'list of devices attached'
some code and " device"
if you don't get this and instead get offline,then check USB debugging is enabled or not and reconnect the device and install drivers again
in device manager(step4)
Step6: Turn off your Nexus 5.Then hold down Volume Down and Power buttons together for 3 seconds until you see the bootloader menu.
Step7: Connect the cable again and open Device Manager and install drivers again( step 4)
This is because you connected the device in another mode and hence pc recognizes it as a new device
Step8: . Go to command prompt and type: fastboot oem unlock
Step9: Go to your Nexus 5 screen and use Volume buttons to select “Yes” and hit the Power button. This WILL ERASE EVERYTHING
and unlock the bootloader.
Step10: Your phone reboots and you get the welcome screen like the day you unboxed it..
Step11: Now log in with a account and connect it to computer and copy the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip file to internal storage.
Step12: Power off your Nexus 5. Then hold Volume Down and Power buttons together until you see the bootloader menu then connect
USB cable from Nexus 5 to your computer.
Step13: Go to command prompt and type: fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-hammerhead.img (for TWRP)
OR
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-hammerhead.img (for CWM)
Step14: Next, use Volume buttons on your Nexus 5 and choose “Recovery mode” and hit the Power button.
Step15: Once in CWM or TWRP recovery, choose “Install zip from sdcard” or “Install”. (choose “choose zip from sdcard” for CWM.)
Step16: Browse your internal storage and find the file UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip. Install this file to root your Nexus 5.
Now your Nexus 5 is ROOTED.
Step17: Next, choose “reboot” from main menu of CWM or TWRP recovery.
:good:Your NEXUS 5 is now ROOTED:good:
PLEASE hit the THANKS:good: button if my post is useful
I think this already exists. Also you don't need to turn your phone off you can just use the command "adb reboot bootloader"

for the command to work, you should first be in the directory...
paste the downloaded Nexus 5.zip on desktop , extract it on desktop, then do the following..
> windows key + r
or
go to start and find "run" and type "cmd"
in command prompt, type
> cd Desktop
> cd Nexus 5

Try this method by alray:
Originally posted by @alrayHTC ONE M7_U/M7_UL - ADB PUSH & FLASH A ROM - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.
You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]
List of devices attached
HTxxxxxxxxxx recovery

Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms. Some other roms can be found here.
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
(if not using the official HTC USB calble, make sure
you are using a USB data cable and not only a charging
cable. Data cables have 4 contacts: 5V, GND, DATA+, DATA-.
Charging cable only have 5V and GND contact and will not work)
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes (5-15) and there is no progress bar, the command prompt will be unresponsive for that duration. When the command prompt is responsive again and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom
Reboot phone

this is normally caused by out of date adb. Try updating your SDK or Mini SDK which ever your using.

You may need to format data, Warning:- this will wipe entire contents of your device.
Boot to twrp recovery. Select "Wipe" then "Format Data" you will be prompted to type yes to confirm.
Reboot back to recovery (reboot to recovery is important don't skip it) and push or sideload your Rom then install. Also unless your Rom specifically requires a newer version of twrp. It would be better to use TWRP 2.6.3.3

You can get unlock codes on eBay for for a couple of quid. Although I'm not 100% sure that is the same as SIM lock. Do you have the correct SIM in the phone. What about contacting the service center?
