Hey all...I can see myself getting into this Android scene pretty fast. My HTC Desire C is my first Android and it has been great, but I feel the need to mod it and root. At least...
So...I'm following this root guide for HTC Desire C. But before I can root I need to unlock the bootloader through htcdev..
On the site, they don't have the Desire C listed so I go to "All other supported devices" in the drop down.
I have followed the steps multiple times and keep getting stuck on step 8. When I enter "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" into the command line it will hang on <Waiting for device> and does nothing. No block of text comes.
If it makes a difference I have fastboot enabled and usb debugging enabled...but aren't those only relevant when the phone is booted? Not sure...
None of the one click programs have worked for me, theyre mostly for older phones if Im correct. But they do identify my phone as HTC Desire C or HTC Golf. But still don't work.
I hope this is the right forum. I couldn't find a Rooting forum here for this phone, hope to see one soon!
Its a great economy class phone with that Android potential.
Any members have experience with getting the bootloader unlocked wanna help? :highfive:
Thanks for reading and if you have to move this post sorry Mods but I couldn't find the right section.

I have tried several times, until it finally worked. It happend to me, that pressing the powerbutton while you get this message worked for me.
I am stuck later, as I tried different CWM, but in every case the phone reboots while doing an nandroid backup... - So my phone is rooted (it is my third android device). I can use CWM, but I can't do a backup within CWM.
Edit: Got my issue solved by formating data in CWM.
There's no need to use such large text for your entire post. Please use regular font size from now on, thanks.
Just set the Desire c in the Bootloader.
Power off ---> hold down volume+power on ---> plug the USB cabel from smartphone to PC.
Done.
Now try this again, u'll get the message.
cant unlock my bootloader

Hi deathcursed, maybe you can try posting it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1947613
Or, if you have the chance, try a different OS.
Hello,
I was just reading the thread below regarding the bricked phone bought from eBay, my phone is in a similar state the only problem is my phone won't boot into recover it's just frozen on the boot logo.
I was in recovery last night I wanted to complete wipe the phone, I stupidly formatted the system I formatted everything, now my laptop won't pick up the phones connection. It's really worrying me that I've bricked it, I'm hoping you guys can save me.
I have downloaded odin, it won't find my phone when it's connected. My phone is rooted and unlocked. From what I've read I'll need to reflash the phone I could probably do this with a little help. If I could get my laptop to find my phone or get my phone into recovery I probably would be able to figure it out eventually.
I've actually got a new phone arriving today an LG G2, plan was to give my son the HTC but I've ruined that idea.
Thanks in advance
My phone just died so I could reboot it and I got into bootloader it's now in cwm but I don't know where to go from here
Can anyone help me out from here with a guide ?
More information, my bootloader says unlocked if this helps. I need to know how to upload new data to my device although it won't register on the pc.
I got it to show fastboot usb but still not showing up on my laptop, I tried Odin again and it's not showing their either. I do have a custom Rom on my pc that I had on my phone before I broke it.
Watched video tutorials but all seemed to be slightly different, they still had the data on the phone to recover

Odin doesn't work with HTC. You'll need to use one of three methods:
1- OTG cable
2- adb push <name of rom>.zip /data/media/0/
3- adb sideload <name of rom>.zip
Use a Win7 machine (or Ubuntu Live USB) if you're having problems with adb, and you don't have an OTG cable.
Hi
I have got HTC one all in one tool kit it gives me the option to sideload a Rom so I think im getting somewhere
I need to wait for my battery to die again so I can 're enter recovery and try and push a new Rom onto the phone.
I think I might be able to work it out, as long as my windows 7 laptop picks up the phone, looks like this all one toolkit will sort it but if not ill use cmd to try and push it across.

no need to wait for battery to die, just press and hold POWER + VOLDOWN under a bright light (not kidding!!), light will start blinking, once it reboots (about 30sec to a min), let go of POWER but keep holding VOLDOWN, that will get you to bootloader, from where you can enter recovery.
(if it doesnt work from the first time, try again, sometimes it takes me 2 or 3 tries to work)
I tried to push the Rom over it didn't work, it's finding the phone when I type adb devices, it's showing in recovery
Maybe I'm not typing in the correct comment , adb push maximum.zip - it's in the correct directory

How To UnBrick A Hard Bricked Moto X
Hii , First of all I wanna thanks to this awesome scrpit by @s5610 who brought my phone from dead to alive , I think i am the first guy to unbricked the hardbricked phone using this script lol , My phone was hardbricked because i was testing my kernel and entered wrong path in partition due to which i got hard bricked i was worried for my phone , Service Center was asking for 7k in Indian Rupees , i was hopeless then i gave a try to this method , followed all steps written here and then finally i entered to fastboot menu of 30.B7 Kitkat As i was using 30.B7 Bootloader earlier and then i flashed My gpt.bin and S-partition and flashed my stock rom voilla !! and my phone booted the aim was to share this post was this method was on page 42 and only less guys have seen this post , so i created a new thread regarding this

Unbricking Guide for any Moto X Gen 1 (wire trick)
Download, and unpack supplied zip to any disk, C: or D:, in root folder. Install driver by launching Qusb.drv.inst.msi, then open Windows' Device Manager, and see if you got "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" device (it is "QHSUSB_DLOAD" without driver installed) located in "COM & LPT ports" section.
If yes, you see it, go to software part below. If it's not there, a full disassemble of the phone is needed to get close to back side of motherboard (google for "iFixit Teardown Moto X Guide" for step-by-step instruction).
So, when you are inside, disconnect the battery first. No need to pull it out, it's glued. Now get to back side of motherboard, and very very gently gain access to the lower left corner of ARM+DRAM shield (see picture). I've done it with Stanley knife. Also you can use miniature nippers - but very carefuly! Once you get access to inner space of shield, use tiny wire to short special pin to the ground (see picture), then connect USB cable, and in the moment when you see "QHSUSB_DLOAD" device (or "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" if driver is installed) pop out in Windows' Device Manager, quickly remove the wire. The goal is to have "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in "COM & LPT ports" section of Device Manager. If it is achieved, we are done with hardware, and move on to soft part.
Now software part. Go to unzipped C:\Python27 folder, launch bat-file, and wait until finish:
RUN_blank_bootloader_flash.bat
(if you got error like "No data read from USB..." etc, just skip to next step)
Next launch either
- .Boot_KK_4.4.2_B4.exe,
or .Boot_KK_4.4.4_B7.exe,
or .Boot_LP_5.0.2_BC.exe,
or .Boot_LP_5.1.0_BD.exe,
or .Boot_LP_5.1.0_BE.exe
- depends on Android version your phone has last time. If you don't know what you need, begin with first one.
Wait 10 seconds, then launch next bat-file, and wait until finish:
RUN_moto_x_bootloader_flash.bat
Phone should go into fastboot mode! If it doesn't, repeat previous step trying higher version. But don't try to flash BC, BD, and BE, if you didn't install Lollipop on this phone!
OK. Disconnect the USB cable, connect the battery, connect again USB cable (fastboot don't work, if don't see battery). Launch next bat-file:
RUN_gpt.bin_flash.bat
The phone will get in fastboot, ready to be flashed by appropriate firmware. If it is official RSD (SBF), delete from xml strings consisting gpt.bin and motoboot.img for safe flashing.

Can we write the full firmware through Qload 9008 mode ???
HI I have a question. I bricked my gf's phone while trying to unlock the bootloader and I am not able to turn the phone on. Only positive feedback is that when I plug it in to the computer, I can hear a notification on my computer. I followed your guide. I can see the "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" device (it is "QHSUSB_DLOAD" without driver installed) located in "COM & LPT ports" section.
Then I followed your software instructions. When I run the RUN_blank_bootloader_flash.bat, I get the following
Code:
Starting qflash!
Executing command qflash.exe -com3 -ramload MPRG8960.hex -mbn 33 MSM8960_bootloa
der_singleimage.bin -v -o

qflash - com3 is an invalid port
Invalid COM port enteredBlank flashing successful
Device will now enumerate in fastboot mode
Then, I followed the rest of the instructions by trying each .Boot .exe and waitng 10 seconds and finally with RUN_moto_x_bootloader_flash
but I am getting the following error.
Code:

Device Shows As USB Input
Hey all,
I'm having trouble getting my Windows 7 machine to recognize my XT862 as a QHSUSB device. Windows does recognize it, just as a "USB Input Device" -- very generic, I know -- so I don't think I have to do any motherboard hacks (and I sure hope not!). However, as it won't let me update the driver either, so I can't do anything. Also, when I plug it into my Mac, it does pop up as a Qualcomm Composite Device. Since something's obviously still ticking, where did I go wrong?
Thanks

Put it on a charger for 5-6 hrs and see if that will help.I had this same problem but on a Moto G and charging it up helped.

Hi, I had a Lumia 925 and wanted to jailbreak it since I found a few people who did this and I wanted it for my own reasons. Anyway, as with all the guides, I used the Windows Phone Internals tool. I downloaded all of the files from LumiaFirmware.com and I opened Windows Phone internals, selected Unlock bootloader and added all of the files (rebooting to Flash mode, of course) and it wouldnt let me start. It would always say: The OS version is not supported. Use a donor-FFU. I tried with another FFu, but it still did not work (I tried flashing the downloaded rom and trying again, but same thing). Anyway, now I did something and now the device is recognised in Windows as "Qualcomm QHSUSB-DLOAD". How can I restart the phone? Windows Phone Internals does not recognize it.
By the way, this is my first time doing things, I may have done something wrong. I did download all drivers, in case you are wondering
Hi,
open windows device manager and use the windows/nokia emergency driver for your device. Then look for thor2.exe, it is a part of WindowsDeviceRecoveryTool.
Open a command prompt window.
Type/paste thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile D:\Packages\Products\RM-994\FAST8930_BATMANROW.hex -mbnfile D:\Packages\Products\RM-994\RM994_msimage_v1.0.mbn -ffufile D:\Packages\Products\RM-994\RM994_3056.40200.1407.0002_RETAIL_eu_euro2_1168_02_405247_prd_signed.ffu
REPLACE my product RM994 with your product and the file names too. Replace D:\Packages\Products with the directory on your PC. You get the emergency files from lumiafirmware.com.
Contact me if there are problems, we will sort that out.
Regards,
Joachim

Then the computer just stopped seeing the phone. Now the phone does not turn on and does not charge, generally like a dead one. Even wdrt doesn't see it. Is it a brick or not? Help!

Hi,
please have a look into your device manager. If you find something like Qualcomm Boot loader device, proceed with one of those many instructions "unbrick without JTAG". I think your Lumia is in emergency mode.
You may also look for thor2.exe on your computer, it is in the Windows Device Recovery Tool subdirectory. Open a command line window, type thor2>help.txt and open help.txt with a text editor. Look up emergency mode. You will find something like [thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile D:\Packages\Products\RM-994\FAST8930_BATMANROW.hex -mbnfile D:\Packages\Products\RM-994\RM994_msimage_v1.0.mbn]. Notice, that is for my phone, not a 720. File name and directory entries must be changed to your needs, but hopfully you will understand the pattern.
Good luck!
Joachim

I'm not have this in device manager. Computer doesn't see my phone.
Did you try a different USB cable, different USB port on your computer (rear side if you have a desktop or tower pc)? Did you pull the battery or press volume down ans power switch at the same time for about 20 seconds to make a power reset?
You might pn me a screenshot of your device manager.
I tried 4 different cables and different usb connectors on my laptop, still doesn't help. I also tried to hold the keys, the phone vibrates and nothing else happens. I can't remove the battery because on the lumia 720 it's not removable and I don't have a screwdriver to remove the back cover.
I am using windows 8.1 64 bit on my laptop. When you connect the phone in the device manager, nothing changes.
