Help with unlocking bootloader!

I've tried almost everything to my knowledge. I'm trying to use the instructions on HTCdev.com and when i get to the last page where I type in "fastboot oem get_identifier_token all that returns is <waiting for device>. USB debugging is enabled, I'm in charge only mode, I've uninstalled HTC sync after installing the drivers. I have the SDK tools installed and in the correct location. What the hell else could it be? I'm at my wits end here and looking for any help I can get.

lol. wrong section. but anyways. you need to be in bootloader.. power down. take off battery and put it back. then hold power and volum down till you go to bootloader. then enter fastboot. plug your phone in and you should see. fastboot usb. and then start the unlock process again.

I'm PMing you...

I apologize for posting in the wrong section, I didn't realize I had posted it here, but instead of saying "fastboot USB" when plugged into the computer, it says "fastboot AC" does that make any difference?

Did you manage to get this sorted? You should be in the bootloader (which is in the HTCDev.com instructions)...

Your phone thinks its connected to a charger instead of a USB cable. Try changing cables or USB ports.

Are you using the micro usb cable that came with the phone? I had a longer cord that wouldn't work and only showed as ac charging, not usb charging.

Yeah I'm using the stock cable.

I finally got it working. I ended up trying a Kodak USB cable and it's the only one that would work correctly. Problem Solved!

[Q] HTC Vivid - Stuck on boot, completely stock

Hello, I'm having an issue with my HTC Vivid after I dropped it. It's stuck on the boot screen when I power it on. The phone is completely stock, and I'm hoping I can be guided in the right direction. I did a search for this issue, and found a thread on loading something off my micro SD card, but I can't find the same thread anymore. I've also tried using the official AT&T Vivid ICS RUU from my desktop, but it wouldn't detect my phone.
I've attached an image of my phone, the model, and my boot options.
Thanks in advance!

You need to make sure you have the HTC drivers....
I forget where to get them... I think there's a thread with the minimal version without HTC sync...
Once you got that... you shut off the phone... pull the battery... put it back in...power and volume down... select fastboot... plug the phone in... make sure it says fastboot USB... then run the ruu...

Success! Thank you!
For anyone else who has this same issue, I used the drivers from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450105
Installed the drivers through My Computer>Device Manager, and RUU will detect the phone in fastboot mode.
Thanks again!

Im having this same issue, after trying to flash android revolution on my unlocked/rooted rogers One, it froze on the successfully installed part and I had to wait for it to die to try to restart it.
I cannot boot into recovery or connect it to my computer in any way, ./adb reboot bootloader doesnt work it says cannot find device.
When I vol down + power the bottom lights just blink and the phone does nothing.
Any idea on how I can reflash the phone?

I have this same problem as well. I also believe I have bricked my HTC One (ATT) and I tried to flash the stock boot.img but when connected to my computer, the phone is completely empty with no download folder, apps folder or anything like it was on stock. I'm on TWRP Recovery but how to I reinstall the boot.img and fix the phone and put it back into factory settings?

usb problem

My htc one usb will not connect to any computer anymore for some reason.
It just says the device is not recognized and has malfunctioned.
I have htc sync installed with drivers.
I am rooted and s-off'ed with insertcoin rom on.
Is there anyway to get back to stock without usb.
Help would be great as i'm a bit lost now.
Thanks in advance...

It's a driver problem on your pc.... are you using windows 8.1 preview?

i'm using xp on all 3 of my computers. my one x connects fine. i all drivers installed including adb.
it wont connect in bootloader,fastboot or recovery either.

Ok i have looked at the device id and it comes up with this in fastboot USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\5&4091F22&0&2
Now i have looked in the usb drivers and this id is not there , so it looks like a driver problem
How can i get this driver with the id in, as i have downloaded many drivers but with no luck.

Uninstall HTC sync and drivers. Reconnect phone, and it should automatically re-install sync manager and drivers. If it does not, however, you need to manually install the drivers. Also, make sure your drivers are up to date. Installing the android sdk might not be a bad idea either.

Thanks for the reply. Tried everything even fresh pc setup . Something in my phone is wrong and cannot get any recognition from it . It shows usb fastboot then changes to ac charging . I have checked in usb drivers and that id is not there so it will not let me install manually either.

Maybe a factory reset of your phone would help. I know that's a hassle, but it might reset or reconfigure whatever was lost or corrupted along the way.

Have done that thanks. Flashes different roms also .. can a different firmware be flashed through terminal emulator. Cannot even mount phone storage through usb. It just keeps alternating between unknown device and nothing.

Wow. Here's a hail mary then. Let the battery run out. Download stock RUU. Connect to PC, and see if fastboot usb comes up. If yes, boot into recovery, and flash RUU. Start from scratch.

I did try that to be honest. Is there anything special I need to know about doing that ..do I let the phone charge fully or anything before I try fastboot. Thanks for your help.

No, let the battery drain completely. Then reconnect it. As soon as anything on the phone shows up (normally the charging sign) get into bootloader. Boot to recovery and flash the RUU. Of course, it's all contingent on recovery being able to read usb, which it should (recovery uses different port and drivers than boot or oem).

Thanks I will give that a go. If that doesn't work is there an update.zip or img I can flash through hboot that will return the phone to stock. ?

If that doesn't work, you could try downloading a zip of your stock, renaming it update.zip (or anything.zip, really), and flashing that. But I'm pretty certain that you'd have to use adb to flash that through recovery too. Good luck with it all, and I hope you get back on track!

To test this, plug your usb cable into the wall charger and see if it charges. If it does, it's working. If not, if you have another micro usb cable, try that. If it still doesn't work, then I would contact HTC about what your options might be (new phone, new usb cable, etc.). Good luck.

Connect the phone to your pc. Cycle through all the different boot modes, boot, bootloader, and recovery. Do you hear any sound from the pc indicating it's picking up a device? If so, it's working, it's just not showing up while in android connected to pc, which would indicate an issue with drivers on your pc. If a sound happens during boot to recovery, leave it on recovery and get into adb mode on pc and attempt to flash the RUU. As soon as it's flashed completely, disconnect it from pc, completely uninstall ANYTHING having to do with HTC, android or 3rd party drivers. Then, reconnect the phone to your pc, and see if it auto installs the drivers and shows.

I have tried everything you have suggested . Even fresh install of xp on pc . Then installed htc sync from htc website . Plugged phone in , but still won't recognize phone . I get no usb connected icon on phone either . It just charges and get usb malfunctioning error on pc . I cannot use external usb drive on phone either . The phone recognizes it as a charger with an error saying that the charger has a fault . Thanks for your help so far .

Well, I can't think of anything else that would help. I think you should contact HTC and see if they've had other issues similar to yours, or if they can help you, but it sounds like your phone's usb is defective. If your phone came unlocked, you should be able to send it and receive a new one. Other than that, I really have no more suggestions. Best of luck.

[Q] Error: Device not recognized in Bootloader

Hi,
I am using Desire C for more than a year, and i have been using customs ROMs starting with Nameless. Recently I flashed NOPE Kernel, and installed Simplicity ROM, 4.1.2. After that i am not able to flash the boot image again. It is connecting properly when in connect to the system, but once i get into Bootloader mode, suddenly i get a message "Device not recognized", and i cannot connect anymore. I tried installing and re-installing all kinds of drivers available for Desire C and HTC, but no luck. Can anyone help on this issue... Please.....

Weirdness. What commands did you try? Type adb devices in CMD and if numbers come up then it is connected

When it is in Boot loader mode, I don't get any number, tried adb devices, result was device not found. Once I'm in bootloader, none of the adb commands works. Not even reboot command.

Tried re-installing all the drivers... Checked out some forums, and downloaded HTC Drivers, installed, still not working...
When it reboots into BOOTLOADER, it doesn't show FASTBOOT USB, but when move up and down using volume keys, it shows FASTBOOT USB. Not returning anything for FASTBOOT DEVICES. Tried to flash, showing "waiting for device"... and after sometime, got the error "windows did not recognize the usb device"...

I have a flashable boot image zip file for HTC Explorer, tried changing the boot image, and flashed. No error message then, but still shows the old one itself....
So, can anyone help me by creating a flashable boot zip... I really need to change NOPE kernel...

Did You check Your USB cable? It could be that it is failing...
Other than that, connect your phone in fastboot mode, wait until error pops up, then do this:
Start command prompt (as administrator in windows 7, 8...) and type this (followed by enter):
Code:
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
and after that line, type this:
Code:
start devmgmt.msc
Now try and find devices with exclamation, there should be your android device. Now right click and uninstall it. Then plug out your phone, and plug it back in. If it doesnt't work after this, I'd say that all you can do then is to reinstall htc drivers.
