s-off error waiting for device

Hi!
i follow the guide to s-off the device in the htc site, driver and all is installed but fastboot stuck on waiting for device... anyone have this problem?

I thought the SXL didnt have S-off yet? possibly you tried S-off for the wrong phone..

no no I checked my version is unlockable! Type the command to extract the codes I still waiting on device ... What can be? 2 days that I feel!

What do you mean that your version is unlockable? I know some SXL phones come shipped with S-off, but when they come locked there is no way to unlock yet..
You sure you dont have the sensation XE?

He probably means his bootloader can be unlocked

Sorry i'm confused whit the root...(version can be rooted) but i think my bootlaoader is unlockable!! the problem is fastboot.exe that don't recognizes the phone!!

all fastboot command don't work (waiting for device error)

Make sure that you are booted into that bootloader thing, to get there: take out battery, restart phone + volume down, then when device is started into the bootloader and connected to USB you should be able to make the blue text go to fastboot with volume up/down. Then try unlocking again, it should work..

ok token extracted but when i press submit after i paste the token, received this error: Unlocking Bootloader Failed!
Sorry it didn't work out. Here's why:
We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.
Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.
Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won\'t work.

ok reset the phone and S-OFF!!

this two step are required???
1. You cant just flash a custom rom on this phone, firstly you will need the 'Chinese rom' which is here http://www.filefactory.com/file/c2ec...511_101713.zip and make sure it is on the SDcard part of your phones memory. Make sure it on the root of the SDcard because it will be easier to find later. Then you will need this rom RCMix3d Runny XL rom from here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56143145/RCM...ny_XL_v1.2.zip (thanks to benjamin.j.goodwin) and make sure that is on the SDcard too with the other rom
2. Then you will need to download this file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...7&postcount=18 it is the 'Chinese boot.img' and will need flashing from fastboot again. So put the phone in fastboot and extract the 'boot.img' from the 'boot.rar' file and put it in the fastboot folder on the PC. Open the command prompt again and type this... fastboot flash boot boot.img ... This should only need doing once if you're coming from a stock rom.
what is it for???

I dont know why, but it has to be done. It only has to be done once, after that you can happily flash whatever you want

Be sure to extract only the token itself when its in the window it will look something like this

Make sure you copy and paste only the fat underscored part, do NOT copy the line numbers you get in front of it

OMG!!!
Is this the developer edition with an unlockable bootloader!!!!????
We have been looking for one of these.
If you help the community, we will surly help you.
So why don't you go over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145602
Just do the following instructions and I will help you to see if it is unlocked.
MAKE SURE TO PM ME THE FILES!!!
Do not post or motorola will detect that it is you and will do bad things (IDK what, but you don't want it to happen)
Thank you for joining our community.
Cheers and Hope you enjoy your atrix hd dev edition!!!

I was told is the Developer Edition when I got it from ATT since at that time they had both versions bro. The unlocked bootloader I got it from the net on some searches I did that the Developers Editions are boot loader unlocked. How can I check this? To make sure is what you guys need?

So u got this from the AT&T stores?
It might not be a dev edition,
But...
go here (never know): https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a and follow the steps until it says either your not qualified or not and tell us what it does.
I hope this is a dev edition...

Hello bro Im trying to get the Devise ID but I dont get that part right there mate
Code:
TO GET YOUR DEVICE ID
Put your device in fastboot mode (press the power button and volume down button at the same time and connect your device to your computer with a USB cable).
On your computer, open a command prompt or Terminal session.
Go to the Directory where you installed the Android SDK tools, and type:
$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
I get this error when trying to get the Devise ID
Code:
C:\Users\aSolis\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk>$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data

nope, I have tried many different things and is actually not comunicating with the phone I believe
Is there a way I can start the server first just to make sure is comunicating?

also from what folder I open the Command promt?
from the main folder or from the platforms-tools folder?
sorry but Im new to this phone and is making mad already. lol

You can try a simple fastboot tool HERE. Just extract the zip and copy the fastboot folder to root dir C. Then,open cmd and type cd C:\fastboot. And the command to get device ID : moto-fastboot oem get_unlock_data. I used this simple fastboot to unlock Photon,Atrix and Xoom bootloader. It should work fine on AHD.

SET UP TEAMVIEWER between tcf38012 & SVLAN. That is the best way do it quickly and correctly.
Otherwise this can only end in frustration and disappointment :/

that worked perfectly mate and thank you but unfortunaly it does not qualify for bootloader unlock

So you don't have a dev edition. Damn Lol.

Unable to Flash Custom Rom using Hasson 2000's Tool on HTC one (M7)

Hello everyone,
I bought an HTC one off ebay, having in mind I would flash custom rom on the device which I prefer for obvious reasons. But each time I open Hasson2000 Tool to get ID token I get this error in command prompt below:
*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
*daemon started successfully *
'error: device offline
I have tried searching for solutions but I cant get one to actually fix my own issue, I do know the HTC bootloader has been unlocked and rooted because I can boot to bootloader menu, boot to recovery mode and on top on the screen it says *****TAMPERED***** just below it says ***UNLOCKED*** I figured the previous owner tried locking bootloader before selling it off.
I noticed other commands dont work like reboot device on the tool probably because of that error or my htc is not recognised am not sure. am running Windows 8.1 Pro on my laptop.
What I have done so far
Rebooted phone several times
Rebooted my laptop several times
Unplugged and plugged in usb cable
Used different usb ports it recognises my htc because I can view my SD card or transfer files between laptop and phone.
Please guys I neeed your help with this, thanks.

Depending on the carrier the device was made for and the one you use, OTA updates may not be an option. If it is a carrier device then updates will be pushed OTA from the OG carrier. IF you use a different carrier then you wont get OTA. And to be honest they are over rated and cause more issues then anything else.

What about using the command prompt instead of a toolkit? No disrespect to Hasson2000, but toolkits aren't ideal imo
In most cases, ''device offline'' is caused by an outdated version of the android sdk or a bad usb cable/usb port (btw use usb 2.0 ports).
Also in windows devices manager, your phone must be listed as Android usb device ---> My HTC. If not, you have drivers issue.
If your phone still boot normally, just copy the rom inside the sdcard, reboot in recovery and install it. I will highly suggest you make sure adb and fastboot works correctly before as they will be required if something goes wrong when installing the custom rom. Also make a nandroid backup of your current config before flashing the rom and make a copy of that backup on your computer.

Well actually I used command prompt since the Hasson2000 tool did not work, Yes my HTC displays under device manager when plugged in. I think its my adb that is out of date.
How do I update my adb?

Here is a step by step with pictures, please try the procedure again. Ensure that all the requirements are met. You might want to copy and paste the commands to make sure they are correct.

Yes boss I do the exact method as htcdav mentioned and place all the required files the fastboot folder but no clue what mistake I make .

What should be unlock_code.bin file size ?when I download it the file shows 1kb it's right ?

Is USB Debugging enabled in Settings -> Developer options?
Is Fast boot disabled in Setting -> Power?
Double check to make sure, then try the command again! Double check spelling and capitalization. If you are unable to get this to work, if you go S-OFF with firewater you will be able to unlock your bootloader during that procedure.
Yes, Unlock_code.bin is 1 kb.

You can downgrade only if you are S-OFF. With S-ON you can only flash the same version or higher RUU & Firmware.

And could be installed a custom rom like cygenmod etc ? Now phone has no service issue

Search the web or your carrier's site for their APN. Check it against what is in your phone Settings -> Mobile network settings -. Access Point Names -> <Carriername> Data
If it matches then it is something else, if not, then you will have to add the settings by selecting the three dot menu -> Add
Where you able to make calls before you unlocked the bootloader?
You might also search for a newer radio for your phone, I remember seeing a thread but I can not recall where it was at.
Most roms don't include the radio, it is in the firmware.

Boss tnx for your time !
But will it not be an hardware issue ?

How to root the HTC Desire 510

Okay guys and gals,
Today I'm gonna be giving you some directions on how to root the HTC Desire 510.
Steps:
1. What your gonna need is your phone, a usb, and a pc. (I used my xperia z as my pc)
2 Your gonna need to download [THIS]. This is the recovery image your gonna need. Just download that and put the file in a folder on your desktop or somewhere you'll remember.
3. Next your gonna want to reboot your phone into fastboot and connect it to your pc.
4. Next on your pc pull up cmd. (search cmd in the start menu) and type "fastboot devices" without the quotes and hit enter. If it shows your device your ready to move on.
5. Now your going to want to change your directory to where the image you downloaded is with a command similar to this "cd C:\users\xxx\desktop\recovery folder". Next rename the image to something simple like flash.img and type this into cmd "fastboot flash recovery flash.img" after doing that you should be able to boot into twrp from the hboot menu on your device.
6. Next on your computer download the su binary zip here. After downloading it reboot your device and copy it to your internal storage and reboot back to your recovery. Then in your recovery go find the supersu-v2.16.zip and flash it then reboot normally. Your device should now be rooted.

Thanks for all your help

I did do that I tried multiple times. Also when I try to run the fastboot from HTC site it keeps telling me something about missingadbapi.dll

2858
Worked like a charm. Much appreciated

Many Thanks! Phone Rooted! but i had 1 question whats the difference between this recovery.img(10,594kb) and the one on twrp website which is 10,480kb in size. just wondering? thanks

This worked great for me, thanks! It was my first root ever, and I had some guidance along the way, but this thread as well as the one to unlock the bootloader were very useful. The only snag was HTC took forever to email me the key.
Thanks again!

is there a way to get s-off yet?

I am reading that this seems to work on HTC Desire 510 devices however I know that Boost Mobile had its own little version of the HTC Desire 510 with the model number 0PCV1 and ive read a lot of threads stating that it was unable to be rooted. So before I started to touch anything I was wondering if this for sure will work with my HTC Desire 510 with model number 0PCV1. Thanks.

Have Boost HTC 510 OPCV1 and I'm unlocked and rooted. Only downside is the unlock threw it to s-on and it says tampered in hboot.

Okay well its good to know rooting is possible. However the downside sounds iffy to me, I guess since Ive never rooted an android device yet. I have previously jailbreak'd an iPhone 5c on iOS 8.1
Does the s-on effect anything? And what about the hboot flagging as tampered?

The downsides is really nothin. I'm on the 510 right now so hope this explains it pretty well: htcdev.com/bootloader/about_unlock_process

Okay that explains it pretty well to me. My final questions if your hanging around the thread, did you use this original posting to root your device?
