bootloader in ICS is locked. Nothing to do about it, for now... later we'll see but, once in JB I don't believe
that someone wants to remain or go back to ICS.

Ok..tnx for clear answer

First welcome to our forum , I hope will find what you need .
Why do you want to know 'how to check' .
It's locked in ICS , unlockable in JB (for devices are EUR-xxx ,, after flash JB see the software info in settings) .
You can check it by :-
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Fastboot flash kernel xxx.img
Then you will get an error says :- error partition is locked .
Update your phone to JB and then unlock it , then check it in the hidden menu (3845#*880#) , goto bootloader status (or something like that) then will see it "unlock" (of course after you unlock it) .
About check them in recovery (like HTC devices) , in LG you can check them in download mode , you will see "unlocked bootloader" in the corner of screen .
to get any help we are here and you can ask us as much as you can .

Help with unlocking bootloader MAC

HEY GUYS i have been having problems unlocking my bootloader on my "One' I am not a noob and have previously rooted all my android phones incuding the htc one x but i cannot seem to unlock the bootloader i have downloaded htc sync i have the "fastboot" and "adb" files but when im using the terminal to write the "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" i keep getting the message that " Command not found" can someone help me
i have folllowed the direction on htc website perfectly but cant figure this out BTW IM USING A MACBOOK AIR :crying:

nice rom you have there
this should be in the q&a

Just a note that you posted this in the wrong section so we'll let a mod move it over.
I've got a mac and have successfully rooted the HTC One using it. I followed a guide I used previously to root the One X, the steps are exactly the same.
The guide is here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1592922
I think the only step that was different is when you install a recovery, I used one specifically for the One

From the directory you put fastboot and adb :

[Q] Definitely bricked or solvable? Flashed wrong firmware no way turning back

Hi everybody.
I'm going to buy an HTC one M7 GSM (ITALY) that is semi-bricked.
The owner tells me he accidentally installed an AT&T firmware, and then the phone boots only on RUU mode, and he can't flash ANYTHING -neither the original IT firmware!-
I don't know how much practice have this guy with android development so I think that he can't give to me more information out of this general description of the state of this phone.
I just want to know if this problem is solvable with the UNBRICK TOOL : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770684 or this phone is just dead and buried.
Thank you for any help you'll give to me! Sorry if i've made any english' mistakes.

I,m not 100% sure k-t-b as I'm new to Motorola devices but I managed to unlock the bootloader with fastboot oem ulock "unlock code" so I assumed you could change the CID the same way

No, that won't work on the X. Sorry..

mak,
Sorry to bring up such an old post, but did you ever get this resolved? I'm researching a similar issue.
Thanks!

No sorry erikivy not sorted yet think I have fxxked the device I was told by a guy in a shop in London I would have to give the phone
a new identity IMEI no. I think ? not sure if he knew what he was talking about but I think that's illegal in the UK and I don't really want to go down that route.
I think the fastboot oem command needs to be looked into and I'm not really up on Moto Devices
I'm playing with HTC M8 at the moment much more easy to customise in my opinion but I will get back to the moto when I have time
sorry couldn't be more helpfull

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?

After that type fastboot devices again and hit enter. If it shows your device your ready to keep moving on. Your going to want to change your directory to where the image you downloaded is with a command similar to this "cd C:".

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?
