[OFFICAL] Work out how to enable fastboot for locked devices / Problem solved :D

So as you may already be aware phones like mine, (orange uk) have the fastboot locked down, and so we cant unlock the bootloader.
I for one believe it can be accessed but needs a little bit of time and research on getting it done.
This thread is aimed for brain-storming for ideas and collecting them for us to try out,
You can de-brand your phone by flashing the software from this thread

thanks to scott4 for the first upload mirror on page 3
Any ideas on getting the bootloader up and going on locked devices please put them in here
UPDATES
We now have root access thanks to Chainfire's gingerbreak apk which is here

If your getting "could not extract assets" from gingerbreak
try doing
xperiax10.awesome said:
cool, finally I rooted my xperia ARC
these are very simple steps(copied from different threads):
1. Install the attached apk: Gingerbreak-v1.00
after installing most people getting this error - "could not extract assets".
TO OVERCOME THIS, just copy the attached ADB.zip and extract it on your laptop (windows)
say at
E:\mobile_Xperia\ADB
goto above path in your cmd promt and types these lines (your phone should be connected to laptop in debugging mode)
E:\mobile_Xperia\ADB>adb shell rmdir /data/local/tmp
E:\mobile_Xperia\ADB>adb shell mkdir /data/local/tmp
NOW JUST INSTALL THE apk file again and click on ROOT

if that Fails try replacing it with rm -r /data/local/tmp

Instructions
TESTPOINT INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY mooxie FROM XDA FORUM:
1 turn of the phone
2 take of the backcover
3 remove the battery and sim card
4 take of the plastic covering the test point it's a bit stuck there but the gentle if you can.
5 Find something flexible like a wire or so i used steel wire. Make bend it so you easily can put it on the test point and the ground since you need to hold it there and press the powerbutton in the next step.
6 put in the battery
7 put the wire on the test point and the ground keep it there and press the power button for a few seconds. You wont get any confirmation that it suceeded.
8 Plug in the usb cable in the phone. Windows will now search for a new driver.
If it doesn't install automaticly. Go into the device manager of windows and look up something called SEMC_HUBB think it was that name. Choose update driver and browse to your omnius\driver folder. You will get a warning that the driver isn't signed but press okay and it should install.
9 Now if everything is done right the flashing will start and you should soon have an unlocked phone
Also side note i had problems with
qhsusb_dload driver not installing correctly.
if this is your case right click update and point to the omnius folder and choose update. worked for me.

No not sure how to do it for free, i think someone with a Japaneses version has removed it, i will PM him to ask him

Here's a thought: backup TA. Write random values to security area. If fastboot is disabled/enabled depending on TA simlock info, tampered sec. zone could give you fastboot. Then unlock bootloader and in order to get your phone back to life, restore TA.
Method should be 100% safe as long as you can write TA back.

Tampered units wont let the phone boot.

But what about flash mode and fastboot? I know they won't boot but that's why in the end TA is restored.

so now all you crazy kids with unlocked phones have root I dont suppose anyone has any more ideas about this problem do they?

I have a few more ieas;
1) I presume you have also tried
adb reboot bootloader
I haven't got my arc yet, Im just saying old ways of getting DHD into bootloader/fastboot
2)
Also, what i think was being mentioned above, Im not too sure what was being said, but on advent vega's and optimus 2x's if you wiped the boot partition, it rebooted into fastboot, because there was no OS installed.
3)
Another one to try is look for market apps that offer reboot into recovery type options and see if they work

have you tried booting your device using the S1 BOOTLOADER method and the S1 DOWNLOAD method? (power off, hold menu + plug battery, then plug cable in pc) you should see a blue LED light. (power off, hold back key + plug battery, then plug cable in pc) you should see a green LED light.
try these two methods and give us a feedback

SEMC Flash Devices installs as the drivers,
After the installation of the new drivers still no blue light
adb reboot bootloader just reboots as normal

For me, first method makes my phone booting normaly (no led light).
With the second one, it's OK : green led light appears.

Already flashed global firmware,
Still locked,

I guess the lock is actually in the bootloader level, which can't be overridden by writing a ftf package.

[Q] Fastboot not recognizing device?

I do have my drivers updated and installed (no HTC Sync).
I have sdk-tools and everything as well.
here's what i noticed:
So when I have my phone at the bootloader plugged into my USB, it won't say fastboot unless I press the volume up or down keys and as soon as i do then it says "FASTBOOT USB".
On the computer however, it just says "<Waiting for device>" forever. weird
Any ideas guys?

I have a couple ideas, not sure if any work.
1) test with the phone in android to see if HTC Sync recognizes the phone
2) Re-download fastboot and re extract it to make sure it's not that
3) Boot into twrp and see if it recognizes adb commands. This one won't fix it, but I'm just wondering if could possibly be a problem with the phone not recognizing while not in system
4) Use adb to reboot to bootloader instead of using the apm or holding down volume. "adb reboot bootloader"

Try uninstalling everything HTC
Reboot you pc and phone
Once both are booted plug your phone in and it should load a bunch if drivers
Also when you go to bootloader it should install more drivers
If that does not work

[Q] Broke my fastboot?

Hello,
I tried installing Android Revolution HD. Whenever I booted my phone, it kept getting stuck at the splash screen (Google [with the unlocked hanglock]). So after a quick Google, I read that this could be fixed by flashing the firmware found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823.
I followed the instructions and when I reached the following step:
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
an error appeared on my computer's command prompt and my phone rebooted.
When I now boot my phone, I get a weird warning by HTC on the Google splash screen:
This build is for development purpose only. Do not distribute outside HTC without HTC`s permission
failure to comply may lead to legal action.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and the phone still hangs on this splash screen.
When I reboot my phone using POWER + VOLUME DOWN and then enter fastboot mode, my computer no longer (it did before) recognizes my phone
USB Device not recognized.

.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks!

Is your phone s off or s on? What firmware did you flash?
You need to update your drivers then. Re download the HTC drivers and try again. Use a different cable if you have one and ensure usb 2.0 ports, also are you Windows 8.1?

Thanks for your fast reply,
- My phone was S-OFF (I don't know whether the flashing of the firmware can change this?)
- I flashed the following zip: 2.17.401.1-custom.zip, downloaded from the Android Revolution HD blogspot.
- I'll try to re-download the HTC drivers, but it would surprise me if this solved the problem, because it worked like 2 hours ago (before I flashed the firmware).
- I used a USB 3.0 port and Windows 8.1, however, I also tried on a Windows 7 computer with a USB 2.0 port, but still, no success.

[Solved]M7 Soft bricked,ADB/Fastboot not working,No OS as well,TWRP 2.6.3.3

Hello.I am in some kind of a trouble..I just bought a phone with firmware problems,hoping i could make it work.The problem is this,someone tried to update the firmware,unsuccesfully,and now it's stuck with no OS.I can only start recovery and bootloader.
Recovery is Teamwin 2.6.3.3.Already tried to clear cache and everything,to use an USB with OTG,but it's not recognised,ADB sideload also it's not working.
adb devices shows the phone is not connected,and FastBoot says "Waiting for device".Any idea? I've tried,read a lot,but I can't really work it out..
Also,I can't find the device in Device Manager,neither in ADB nor Fastboot.
I tried using Windows 8.1 and 7..Same deal.
Thank you!

First, follow instructions given in this post to install the latest android sdk-tools and the latest htc drivers. Also make sure you don't have HTC Sync installed on your computer.
Then connect your phone to you computer with the original cable (or any other cable already known to work for data transfer - some usb cable are only providing power), reboot the phone in bootloader mode by holding vol down and power. Make sure you see the red "fastboot usb" caption on the screen, if not use vol up/down and power to select the "fastboot" menu. Once there open a command window form the android sdk-tools folder and type "fastboot getvar all". Copy/paste the ouput of this command here (except the imei and serialno).

I've followed that,and still not working.pics attached.
It's very weird,because I was expecting for a soundfrom the Windows,like a new device connected .But ..nothing

Ok so its not detected at all
Might be caused by
a bad usb cable --> Try another one that you are 100% sure its working
a bad usb port on the computer (use only usb 2.0 ports btw)
a problem with the computer ---> Try another computer.
a bad usb port on the phone ---> need to replace the usb/front mic board
Might also worth to fix your laptop drivers problem. Might be causing problem if the "unknown" device is an adapter or usb controller...
Then reboot the computer.

I think we can exclude the first two,because I've tried 2 different USB cables,and with my S2 ,both of them are working,even ADB.I will try to replace the usb port from the phone,and then try again.But,do you think it will work ?
Thank you!

Its hard to tell, there isn't any background info about what was done on that phone. The usb board is pretty cheap so it worth a try if you are 100% sure everything else is fine (computer, cables etc..)

I understand,but,I mean,as far as I know,it's not hard brick,because the phone is still booting..in some way ..so if I manage to connect it,I can flash the rom..am I right?

Normally it should be pretty easy to fix if you can get fastboot and adb connectivity. You could then update the firmware so you can flash the correct RUU to restore the phone back to stock, already made the research and all the files (firmware and ruu) you'll need are available.

Sorry for the late reply,the phone is now in service,in 1-2 days they should fix the USB board,and I will get back with more info soon.
Thank you very much for your quick answers and for taking time to help me!

Good news,I've managed to unbrick it.I asked a friend with a Mac to check it out,and his Mac recognized with no problems.Installed the Os,but still,Windows can't detect it.I've tried on 2 pc's(7 and 10) with the proper drivers.Weird..
Anyway,thank you for your time @alray !

Is your phone in bootloader mode? Hold Vol down+power to enter fastboot mode and then connect your phone to PC.
If you are already doing that or the problem still persists and have an unlocked bootloader(which I am sure you have), try to flash twrp manually.

Vol down+power should boot into fastboot. Turn off the phone, hold both until honor logo shows up, let go of power but hold vol down for about 5 sec more.
If still the same, Turn off your phone, connect USB cable to phone, hold Vol down and connect the cable to computer. It should boot into bootloader now.
If it can not boot into bootloader still, the last is to try adb but that is a bit lengthy.
In bootloader mode, it will be written on phone screen in red whether phone is locked, unlocked or relocked.
Wipe does not effect bootloader status so it's still unlocked imo.

Nope. Maybe I was wrong and I have never unlocked it? I don't remember, but I did something when I was upgrading my phone to Android 4.4.2

At least it should say, phone locked. Saying nothing is a phenomenon i never heard before but I usually go for newer versions. May be that's the case.
Anyways use adb to fire this command
Fastboot OEM device-info
To be sure if its locked or not.
To setup adb, download and install latest Android SDK, run the program and only download platform-tools.
Your phone is international variant and it came with locked bootloader, I am sure sp tools unlocked it coz otherwise CWM could not be flashed.
Right click platform-tools folder and select run command prompt window here and type the above command
If the bootloader is unlocked (it will tell you if it is), copy the twrp image to platform-tools folder and rename it to twrp.img and fire this command
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
And try to reboot into recovery after disconnecting from pc and simultaneously holding power+ Vol up.

edit: nevermind, i forghot about something...

You dont have your phone drivers installed. Google Huawei USB drivers and install them or use hisuite to install drivers for your phone.
After driver installation, do the same process again.
My bad. I assumed you would have drivers already installed

I have already installed many drivers from different sites. I will try with hisuite

Hisuite is the best option. Even if that does not work (there is a chance of that), Google Kouch's universal drivers and install those.
May have to manually install dribers if nothing works.
Lemme know how did it go. Will get back to you in the morning if nobody else came along (but someone surely will before that).
Have a nice day/night depending on your time zone

I installed Hisuite and connected my phone. Windows have downloaded drivers automatically. And still the same...
But I forgot to tell you that when I connecting my switched off phone, my pc says "USB Device Not Recognized" (or something like that, I dont have english version of windows). Everything is ok when my phone is switched on...
This phone is cursed. I try to give up and stay on my current ROM, so I installed Nova Launcher, but setting it as default doesn't work :/
Thanks for trying to help me anyway.

I was awake just for your post. I think I got the problem. You need fastboot drivers imo but I would have to read a bit before I can suggest how to go about it.
Am busy tomorrow but will try to get back to you in the evening (GMT+5 time zone).
Can never be 100% sure but still I am confident, your problem has a solution. Just bear with me a day or two

Boot into recovery mode, no matter on which recovery are you on, and execute this command:
Code:
adb devices
And see the output, if it says something like:
Code:
**some_number** recovery
then it means there is no problem in the detection of your device by PC, if it does not, then check if the micro USB socket in the device is in good condition.
And I must ask: Are you able to do any operations on device via PC after connecting it?

Okay, then it means that there is no problem in the connection. You are using SP Flash tool in which mode?
