Unlocking Bootloader on HTC One M7 - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't unlock bootloader on my HTC One M7 (android 5.0.2).
When I type in cmd fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin I get error: can not load 'Unlock_code.bin'. My phone (in fastboot usb mode) is connected to a computer and all the files needed for it are in one folder
EDIT: I did what on this video and it worked https: //www youtube com/ watch?v=QU7vi388dMk

Make sure that your fastboot device is detected. Type "Fastboot Devices" and make sure your device is detected. Double check spelling of the bin file and its location ( bin must be located in the same directory as fastboot unless you specify the full file path i.e. c:\SomeRandomFolder\unlock_code.bin).

"can no load" is the generic error fastboot will output when it can't find the specified file. Most of the time it's because the file is not in the same folder as fastboot.exe (or wrong path to file in your command). It can also be caused by double file extension. Try to use your "TAB" key to autocomplete the file name:
"fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlo" then press TAB and it should auto-complete to "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" by itself if the file is in the right folder.

[Q] Unlocked N1 - But Root Fail - ERROR- could not get pipe properties (MAC)

hi there,
been busy all evening on my Mac trying to unlock and root my nexus one retail. Got the phone unlocked after extensive reading on SDK and ADB Hoped that the positive flow would continue when switching over to the rooting process, but unfortunately I seem to get stuck and have failed
I downloaded the correct superboot version for my phone and placed it in my home folder (on same drive as where I successfully did the fastboot procedure for unlocking). And then I entered this in Terminal:
---
suikerchiller-macbook-3:~ suikerchiller$ cd /superboot
suikerchiller-macbook-3:superboot suikerchiller$ chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh
suikerchiller-macbook-3:superboot suikerchiller$ ./install-superboot-mac.sh
ERROR: could not get pipe properties
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY
suikerchiller-macbook-3:superboot suikerchiller$
---
As a result my phone automatically reboots into basic settings. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong??? I'm a total n00b but am really eager to learn In a bit of trouble now as well, because I don't know what to do anymore and dare to touch my fone either.
Any help would be great. Can't wait to finally be released from Vodafone's retail nexus one terror and want to challenge all those ignorant iphone studs out there and show how cool and superior my Nexus one actually is
P.S. I searched for quite some time on the forum and couldn't find a post/thread that was related to my problem. Please forgive me if this is some sort of double post.
If your phone is unlocked, don't bother with superboot, just flash a custom recovery and use it to install the su zip...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
Place the recovery image in your sdk tools folder, place the su zip on your sd card, connect via fastboot and type:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img
Flash the su zip from recovery, and you're done!
many many thanks for the quick reply I placed the recovery image in my sdk tools folder.
However, still have a couple of questions:
I don't know what you exactly mean with a su zip??? Where can I get this file?
what do you mean with: "flash the su zip from recovery"?
I put a link in my original post. The eclair/froyo version works for gingerbread, also...
Once in recovery, you chose the flash zip from sd option, and then the chose zip from sd option, find and select the zip... It will be obvious when you do it...
sorry, it's still too much rocket science for me I guess
I uploaded the su zip file (did not unzip or rename file) to my sd card (activated usb storage and dropped the zip via Mac in the main folder of my phone).
what do you exactly mean with "connect with fastboot"? I shut down my fone first and pressed power button at same time with track ball. Then I did this:

As you can probably see it didn't really work haha what am I doing wrong? Sorry for my n00biness!
You said you have already unlocked your bootloader. In order to unlock the bootloader I you have to connect with fastboot...
How did you unlock the bootloader?
I unlocked it via the first 7 steps of this procedure (sorry have to copy paste a lot of text because im not allowed to post outside links on forum yet haha):
-----
Connect your Nexus One to your PC/Mac and turn it off.
Hold the trackball and hit the power button (while holding the trackball). You should see the following bootloader screen.
Now from the files you downloaded previously, you will see a folder called ‘fastboot‘ (if you extracted fastboot.zip that is!).
On a Windows machine – launch Command Prompt and CD to fastboot folder. (Type in ‘cd ‘ (without the quotes and drag and drop the fastboot folder to the command prompt). Type in ‘cd fastboot‘ again and now type the following command ‘fastboot-windows oem unlock‘ (without quotes) and hit enter.
On a Mac or Linux machine – launch the Terminal and CD to fastboot folder (type in ‘cd ‘ and drag and drop the folder. Now hit enter.). Now CD to the other fastboot folder and type the following (without quotes): ‘./fastboot-mac oem unlock‘ (for Mac) or ’./fastboot-linux oem unlock’ (for Linux) and hit enter. You will see the following. Ignore the error.
This is the screen that you will see now. Use the volume button (on the side) to select ‘Yes’. (Please read the full message displayed on the screen thoroughly). Now push the Power button to select this option (weird, I know. Trackball would have been a better choice to select!).
Great! You have successfully unlocked the bootloader! You will see the unlock image while your phone boots up.
----
I did this successfully and had the black screen and selected unlock phone. So when I press the power button & trackball at same time now I get a white screen now and it says in pink on top: ***Unlocked***
Ok substitute the term fastboot-mac instead of fastboot, into my previous instructions
damn, still doesn't seem to be working:

it's really weird, it looks like my fastboot is not responding anymore... Any idea what's going wrong here???
thanks so much for taking time and helping with figuring this one out!!!
Just tested something. When my phone is switched on normally and connected via USB, Terminal recognizes it as an adb device. However, when I switch into fastboot, Terminal doesn't recognize it:

Is this where the problem resides?? Anyone know how I can fix this???
adb will only work when it can see the adbd on your phone, so the phone had to be booted to either recovery or fully bolted.
fastboot will only connect when your phone is booted in fastboot. If its not connecting, reboot your phone and mac and try again...

Sorry, just re-read this...
Command not found, NOT device not found.
You should be typing fastboot-mac, not fastboot...
Do you have a file called fastboot-mac in the same folder as your adb and recovery img?
rebooted my mac and phone... Still no difference, this is my latest command:
---
suikerchiller-macbook-3:~ suikerchiller$ cd /"Android SDK"/tools
suikerchiller-macbook-3:tools suikerchiller$ fastboot-mac devices
-bash: fastboot-mac: command not found
---
can this be the reason: my fastboot folder is in a different (other) folder than my 'android sdk' folder... should i drag and drop fastboot into the tools folder of sdk???
YES!
Put the fastboot-mac file in the same folder as the other stuff!! xD
haha ok, so I copied my fastboot-mac file (original file from fastboot folder) into AndroidSDK/tools folder. It's in the same folder now where the .img file is in as well.
But it still doesnt seem to be working. These are the commands that I have been using:
---
suikerchiller-macbook-3:~ suikerchiller$ cd /"Android SDK"/tools
suikerchiller-macbook-3:tools suikerchiller$ fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1-CM.img

-bash: fastboot: command not found
suikerchiller-macbook-3:tools suikerchiller$
---
What's going wrong??? I'm going slightly mental now. Also running out of beer at same time. Not a good combination
can you list the contents of that folder, and tell me what result you get?
this is the list of files in my AndroidSDK/tools folder:
--
suikerchiller-macbook-3:tools suikerchiller$ ls

and here are the commands for fastboot, in case they can be of any usage
suikerchiller-macbook-3:tools suikerchiller$ ./fastboot-mac
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
commands:

Hmmmmm, well the file is there, so that's really weird because you mac is definately saying that it's the command it can't find...
I'm not much of a mac guy, but I do know that your mac is the one having the problem...
Try:

"cannot load" is usually a user error. Most likely the Recovery file is in the wrong location.
Can you try to flash recovery again then copy the full output from your command window and post it here. And a screen shot of your fastboot folder would also be helpful :good:

adb not found file path that's problem
like said above "can not load" error is not caused by a corrupted file. "Can not load" error = "Fastboot can't find the file you want to flash". There are 3 reasons why it can occur:
1- The file you want to flash is not in the correct folder.
e.g: to use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" , recovery.img file must be in the same folder where adb and fastboot are otherwise you must write the path to this file:
"fastboot flash recovery C:\path\to\my\file\recovery.img"
If the files is not in adb/fasboot folder or if you are not specifying the path to your file, fastboot will not find it and will output "can not load error".
2- A typo in your file name.
For example, If the recovery is named "openrecovery-twrp.img" and you are making a typo in your command: "fastboot flash recovery openrecoveryy-twrp.img" fastboot will not find the file and output "can not load" error.
3- You have double file extension.
Windows, by default, is hiding extension of known file type. So your "recovery.img" file might be displayed as "recovery'" only in the file explorer. The user then mistakenly add a ".img" to "recovery" to have "recovery.img" displayed in the explorer but this will result with a real file name of "recovery.img.img". If you do "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", fastboot will look for "recovery.img" not for "recovery.img.img" so it will output "can not load" error.

Unable to Root MRA58N

well, you are doing it wrong for a nexus owner, you dont need a root toolkit. to root m you need to flash any custom kernel for m as well as the latest supersu(as well as the latest twrp recovery so you can flash a custom kernel and supersu).
Don't use Root kits and follow these steps. Start from step 1 if you already have your bootloader unlocked and if you have SDK tools installed (adb and fastboot). And you should be fine...
yes wont let me install recovery TWRP

thats because you dont use adb for this. you have to use fastboot while you are in your recovery. read that again, FASTBOOT instead of ADB. you always use fastboot to flash the factory image or any part of it, or twrp recovery.
simms, the command he posted that failed WAS fastboot.
HOWEVER, if adb is reporting devices, you are likely either booted to android or recovery... reboot to the bootloader
(turn off device, then hold volume down and while holding vol down press and hold power until the device boots to the bootloader mode.
Make sure that you have twrp in the same folder, and that you have renamed it to recovery.img (not .img.img as a lot of people accidently do) That last part isn't completely necessary, as its really just "fastboot flash recovery <file name>", and you can replace <file name> with the name of the recovery image it doesn't HAVE to be recovey.img, and it doesn't have to be in the same folder if you include path... but people find it easier to just rename it to recovery.img, copy it to their platform tools folder and use the command you ran.
ahh.. yea @scryan i didnt see that fastboot was used(later in the post). now i see hes uding adb devices instead of fastboot devices.
As far as I can see, you are trying to flash recovery using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img while not in bootloader (or you didn't copy everything you did).
You should:
1. adb reboot bootloader (your phone will reboot into bootloader)
2. now you can write "fastboot devices" to see if your phone is recognized
2. then if it's there: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
EDIT: If you still did everything correctly, quick google search said it could be problem with computer's USB port. Try another port...
I have tried every port on my pc some give unrecognized USB error while others work. If I am able to charge and transfer files along with send adb commands (restart phone,adb sees my phone) does that rule out the USB cable? I bought a pack of four on ebayhttp://m.ebay.com/itm/4x-6Ft-Micro-USB-Charger-Sync-Data-Cable-Nylon-Braided-for-Samsung-Galaxy-HTC-/221891441910?txnId=1650092351012
I no longer have the cable I used to flash marshmallow but I did use this to unlock the device.

Problem installing not incremental ROM

Well I have tried to install MIUI ROM 6.5.26 after not processing updates for months (since november).
So I downloaded latest ROM and put it to the top of the partitions and then I wiped everything and that's where i might have done a mistake: I wiped internal storage (inside TWRP 2.8.7 i found there http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-...timizing-leo-miui-advanced-tweaks-to-t3286972) then I might have might done a second mistake: I have done the command fastboot 'flash boot boot.img' as I read on an old HTC forum.
Then I pushed the latest ROM to the phone (as it was not there after the wipes) and when I tried installing it, it gave E: unable to mount 'cache' .
Now it seems i cannot enter TWRP, only Fastboot or I am stuck with MI logo.
I just want to install latest ROM, as I have done Titanium Backup before all the mess.
I don't know where i should start.
I am on mac so cannot use Mi Flash

you wiped internal sd so you have nothing the only way to solve is
Download the fastboot ROM https://www.dropbox.com/s/dg198q49dctzfgr/leo_images_5.11.26_20151104.0000.4_5.1_cn.tar.gz?dl=0 (recomend this others from this year locked bootloader)
Extract it to the same directory you extracted ADB/Fastboot
Press "Windows key + X" -> "Command Prompt (administrator)
In command prompt, go to your folder where your ADB/Fastboot are, assuming they are in C:\Fastboot, you type
> cd C:\Fastboot
> C:
10. Once in the "C:\Fastboot" folder, you will need to issue a chain of commands to flash critical images, so type:
C:\Fastboot>fastboot devices
C:\Fastboot>fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
C:\Fastboot>fastboot flash dbi sdi.mbn
C:\Fastboot>fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
C:\Fastboot>fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
C:\Fastboot>fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
C:\Fastboot>fastboot erase boot
C:\Fastboot>fastboot flash misc misc.img

C:\Fastboot>fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
C:\Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
C:\Fastboot>fastboot flash boot boot.img
C:\Fastboot>fastboot reboot
Now you're all set and should be able to boot normally.
after you can install recovery

It broke halfway, so I am trying again. Thank you for your patience.
Well, I downloaded it entirely and tried "fastboot the tz", then I get -> "device is locked. Cannot flash images"...
So I guess I locked my bootloader already, somehow... :crying:

Launch MiFlash and flash Note pro not locked ROM if you get one error at the midle (not at the beginnig) of flashing dont worry, you have unlocked bootloader, and you can folow the previous steps you already tried
The latest roms from xiaomi (since January 2016) lockes bootloader that is why i recomend that on the link.

Download the fastboot ROM for your Mi phone and place it on your desktop. Double-click on it and Archive Utility will extract the file on the desktop, so you'll get a folder,
now go to terminal an type
cd C:\fastboot
fastboot devices
fastboot oem edl
In order to use the fastboot scripts, you should go to the folder. For that purpose, execute the following command (the folder name may be different in your case, the example below is for cancro):
cd ~/Desktop/cancro_global_images_V7.0.5.0.KXDMICI_20151016.0000.3_4.4_global
Copy the Code
Quick tip: you don't need to write the whole folder name, just type cd ~/Desktop/cancro, then press the Tab key and Terminal will append the folder name automatically.
Once inside, you need to make the scripts (all the files with .sh extension) executable. Execute the following command:
chmod +x ./*.sh
Now, the scripts are ready to use. In order to start the process, issue one of the following commands:
./flash_all.sh
or
./flash_all_except_storage.sh
or
./flash_all_except_data_storage.sh
When you start any of the scripts, you'll see the fastboot messages, flowing through the Terminal window. Once the script has done its work, the phone will restart itself automatically.
When I change directory for the fastboot ROM directory, the fastboot screen on my phone disappears. I have done the steps after that but i see no message on the terminal or the phone screen. My phone screen is black.
Edit: In fact the fastboot screen on my phone disappears when I type fastboot oem edl in my terminal although i get the message OKAY in my terminal.

every time I type:
fastboot oem edl
the screen of the smartphone goes off
Maybe I will buy Windows to make it work in VM...
Only can you interpretate why fastboot oem edl makes the screen go off?

No
Will try tomorrow.
Thanks again.
The link to your dropbox for Qualcomm drivers is for Windows, i found that:https://developer.qualcomm.com/download/software
and Snapdragon SDK but I have to register.
Is Snapdragon SDK actually Qualcomm drivers?

Hello,
OK, no Qualcomm drivers for Mac it seems... I have searched thoroughly and haven't found. I have asked a en.miui dev and waiting for the response.. Don't have them?
