Unlock bootloader problems, phone shuts down at fastboot - HTC Desire C

Hi
I'm trying to follow the instructions on htcdev to unlock the bootloader on my desire c so that I can then root the phone. However, when I follow the instructions, it says first to take the battery out and replace, then to enter bootloader mode with power + vol down, then to select fastboot, and finally to connect the device via the USB to my PC.
When I connect the device, it powers off and nothing happens. I've tried running the same process with USB debugging on and off and it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks :good:

It seems like you don't have the proper drivers installed in your PC. Do you have Android SDK, HTC Sync Manager and Java Runtime Enviroment(JRE)?

I updated to the latest versions of sync, the android sdk and Java before running the unlock process for bootloader so I didn't think it should be that.... turns out it was my USB cable causing the phone to shut down and swapping for another was fine! Thanks for the reply, all is good and the phone is unlocked

Oh great! Welcome aboard

[Q] Stuck in Bootloader & Error 170 during RUU Update

I was trying to restore back to stock and followed the directions completely. After over and hour plus the onscreen message kept saying it was sending the ROM files to the phone its pretty clear it wasn't. So now I am stuck in the Bootloader with no ROM image at all. My Win8 computer suddenly won't recognize the device, I have removed and re-installed the drivers that worked before and get nothing.
I am on my wife's Win7 computer and I still cannot get the device to be recognized with the current drivers installed. The only thing I can do is power down my HTC One and reboot in the Bootloader - Fastboot.
I could use any help urgently.

Have you tried flashing a recovery in fastboot?
The command is fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Flash a custom recovery and then install a custom rom through it.That should make your phone usable for the moment. When you have time again you can try going back to stock.
I have heard these things recommend by others:
- Be sure you have the latest drivers. Download HTC Sync if need be, and sure to reboot your PC, then allow enough time for the phone to be recognized.
- Try a different USB port.
- Power down phone by simulating a battery pull by holding down the power button for up to fifteen seconds, then reboot into recovery by pressing the volume down key as the phone restarts.
Good luck!

Thanks. I tried the power down as you mentioned it just reboots everytime, I also tried the rebooting into recovery - Fastboot. I also tried all 4 USB Ports on my laptop.
Any other thoughts on this?
I tried the HTC Sync installer still get the same thing USB Device Not Recognized.
My device wasn't able to work with USB 2.0 port, is there only USB 2.0 on your laptop?
Sent from my HTC One™
I have USB 3.0 but no joy on any of my ports. On the phone with HTC Support they are USELESS. The only thing they can offer is to reload the OS by replacing the motherboard and that takes 2 weeks and $200. There has to be a better way.

At the moment I cannot get my phone to show up on my computer, without that I cannot even push a recovery image like TWRP. If only I could.

My laptop only has USB 3.0 ports. I could get HTC sync to
work fine, but the PC wouldn't recognize the phone when in the bootloader. I was struggling to find an answer until I came across this blog and this worked flawlessly. The problem is with the Microsoft USB 3 host controller. This method replaces 2 Microsoft drivers with Intel drivers.

Follow this to a T. It does require rebooting the PC to disable driver signing, so make sure you bookmark the link to go back to it after you rebooted. If this helps you, just press the thanks button!

I truly want to say THANK YOU, to everyone here at XDA-Developers. It is truly one of best communities for help, advice and resources and no one is ever left behind.
I was able to use my Win7 desktop at work, (very open workplace) and use the drivers that come with the All In One Root Kit and was able to get Fastboot USB and get my ROM back on my phone. I am now completely back to stock, wow that was scary stuff.
Above all else I learned a HUGE lesson, ask questions, wait for responses and ask more questions if you don't understand because someone will help you. Just as I was helped and saved last night and today by everyone here I too will pay it forward in anyway I can.
Thank you all for your help. HTC is NOT getting my $200 for a new motherboard. I mean their Tech Support at 12:20am is not that great but at least someone was there.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you

Thanks again. I got the drivers d/l this morning along with the two small files I needed to copy and replace into the drivers folder (took me a few minutes to figure out where they wanted me to paste them). So tonight I will get home and I will move forward with removing the MS drivers grrrr.

[Q] Fastboot mode problem - Xperia SP

Hi guys, got a slight problem with entering fastboot mode. I hold the volume-up key and connect me USB cable but rather than getting the noise verifying it's been connected ok, I get that dull sound it makes when it hasn't worked. It won't even let me install the drivers and in device manager it comes up as "S1boot Fastboot" for a few seconds before then going into battery charging mode. I downloaded the Android SDK latest and replaced the USB driver INF file with the one sony give you but it didn't work so reversed back to the other driver the SDK manager installs and that didn't work either.
I've been through the tutorials and even tried to update the driver in device manager in the few seconds it stays there but that didn't work either! USB debugging is enabled too!
Please help, I'm not a noob and have done fastboot booting before and yes for those who may ask have already checked to make sure the bootloader can be unlocked and yes it can also the phone is NOT branded and is unlocked to all networks.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!
Dave.
Are you on Windows 8? Using USB 3.0?
"As your flesh bears the sigil....your name is that....of a recusant."
First be sure you're using a 2.0 usb port, if this is ok maybe it's a windows 8 driver problem, so you should try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2170114. It works for me
For also fastboot and flashmode come for 5 Sec. So Make sure you prepare the file and attach the device to fastboot or flashmode when it is asked.
Still problems
I'm still working on a 2012 laptop with Windows 7 Premium installed. It's fully up to date and all the drivers are installed properly I just don't get it, I've tried everything and it's still making the noise as if it won't connect. I don't know what to do to be honest. Also yes it is USB 2.0.

I have a similar problem. the power light lights up blue then passes into the phone starts loading mode
Sorry for bad English
The updated version (09.14) don't work properly. It doesn't enable me to go to Flashmode. Uninstalled and used the previous version and it worked as it should, no issues entering Flashmode.
i might have actually found the solution. im on the 4.3fw build version 12.1.a.1.201... in my case, my pc will automatically install the drivers for mass storage giving me no chance to update the driver to the one from sony.
you need to do step 9. and 10. if you havent done so from http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
what i did was allow developer settings and allow debugging via usb.
plug in and attempt to go in to fastboot and obviously it'll fail.
go to device manager. (control panel->hardware and sound->device manager) quickly scroll down go to other devices. you will see s1fastboot (or something like that) if you're quick enough, if not, in my case, the phone will go in to charging mode.
what i did was to disable xperia sp mass storage from disk drives category too.
right click on it and select update driver software and you will select the file you've unzipped (following step 9 and 10 sony's instructions).
after it has finished updating, unplug your usb and attempt to enter fastboot, it should work.
PS: im no expert, this solution might be out there somewhere already or it could just be a great coincidence. some of these steps might not be useful even.
Had this problem and found a funny solution: I switched my cable and the port I was using. Both Ubuntu and Windoze 7 failed on both fastboot and flash mode, even though in both the phone would charge. I grabbed a spare micro USB cable and plugged it into the front of the PC; voila. Now the phone is rooted and running the latest CM.
Need a final solution for this problem
I don't know what to do!!! The problem is this, very similar to the others mentioned above,: When i conect my xperia sp to fastboot mode, pressing volume up while plugging in usb cable, the phone led turns to blue for few seconds and than it just turns to red showing on the screen the battery image( normal charging mode)...... I' m using windows xp and a rooted xperia sp whit cm11 (for locked bootloader obviously). Just two last things:
the phone can be unlocked( I checked it) and fastboot worked the same as now with stock xperia sp firmware.
Please i need a final and a certain solution for this problem!!!
i'll be very thankful to anyone who give me a hand!!!!

Are you trying to unlock your phone?
Have you installed device specific/fastboot/flashmode drivers via FlashTool? If you are on Windows 8/8.1, you need to disable driver verification to get it done.
Alternatively if you just wanna unlock your bootloader, you can use the BLU option in FlashTool. Again all drivers will need to be properly installed for your phone to be detected correctly.
You say you had the same problem with stock firmware which means you probably haven't setup adb/fastboot properly on your PC. Does your phone get detected correctly in Device Manager? Have you tried installing drivers via Device Manager?
....
So the solution is installing flashtool and installato drivers via Emma?? Thanks forma the attention!!

I meant install drivers via FlashTool. Go to C:\Flashtool\drivers or wherever you have installed Flashtool and run the Flashtool-drivers.exe.
Select flashmode drivers, fastboot drivers and common drivers viskan board (SP drivers) and install them. Like I said if you are on Win 8/8.1, you will have to disable driver signature enforcement. Just look it up in YouTube and follow a tutorial.

Try this:
1. Uninstall all drivers for HTC phone.
2. Install latest HTC Sync Manager from HTC site.
3. Connect phone in normal mode.
4. Open htcdev site and start unlocking bootloader.
5. Connect phone in fastboot mode (system reports unrecognized device).
6. Run regedit as administrator and backup registry for sure.
7. Add this key:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\0BB40FF00100]
"SkipBOSDescriptorQuery"=hex:01,00,00,00
8. Unplug usb cable and plug again.
9. Run cmd as administrator and finish unlocking.
Works fine on my Windows 10 Home 32bit.

[HELP] Problems trying to flash to stock, to flash to Android N

So I am currently rooted on a Motorla Nexus 6 in Android 5.1.1, I started up the Nexus Root Toolkit and when it finishes downloading stock Android 60.1 to restore my device ready for Android N it sends the adb reboot bootloader command but my device then says in the bootloader menu "Connect USB Data Cable"
Since I cannot post the image link of what the toolkit says then I will just write it below...
"FASTBOOT device was not found
STEP #1: Connect your device via USB:
- Utilize the OEM USB cable if available
- Try an alternative USB port.
STEP #2: Manually Boot your device into bootloader mode:
- Power your device down completely:
- Press and hold the volume down button, them press and hold the power button t the same time until the phone turns on. You'll see the word 'start' with an arrow around it/
STEP #3: Install drivers:
- Utilize the 'initial setup' if you not done so already.
- USB debugging is NOT required for connectivity in bootloader mode.
- Just follow the the instructions in the guide for configuring your device in bootloader mode.
- For example: if you are using driver solution #3, start on step 7.
Alternatively you may just need to recheck connection.
Press 'OK' to recheck device connectivity.
Press 'Cancel' to exit this script"
If anyone has any info on how to get around or resolve this issue as I cannot proceed with the stock flash unless the Fastboot connectivity is working, then that would be great
(if it helps I already have Android Studio installed with all its components)

did you install adb and fastboot onto your computer? it doesnt matter if you have the driver installed if you dont have the actual program installed onto your computer. and anyways, learn to do it right instead of using a toolkit, its very easy.

and about toolkits, i dont recommend using them, but feel free to. its just many dont take the time to learn to do it the "right" way. but if you do know it, a toolkit is alright usually.
