if you followed all the steps, then you should have a folder with 3 files in it. you navigate to this folder in the command prompt.

If you have never used the command prompt, do the following:

click start menu, type "cmd" in the search window, click on 'cmd.exe'

this will open a black window and will say something like:

you should know the folder you put the 3 files in. For this example. the files will be in a folder located at

at the command line, type

and press enter , do this 2 times until you see:

then you navigate to your folder. my folder is at c:\unlockfiles, so I will type:

cd unlockfiles

I will then see

at the prompt. I am now in the folder with the files.

your path will be different, or you may use the example i gave you , either way, navigating to the folder is the same. if the folder "unlockfiles" was on the desktop, I would type

at this point, pull the battery out of your phone and put it back in, press and hold volDOWN +power until you get to the white Hboot screen.

use the volume keys to navigate to fastboot, and press power to select it.

plug in the USB cable.

you can now use the commands provided to you by htcdev. start with the fastboot section, and go from there.

if you cant get past this, please send me a PM and I will walk you though it.

If you have trouble navigating to the folder you have adb and the other files in while in command prompt, try this: on your computer, open the folder that contains all the files, hold shift, right-click and choose "open command window here"

Just checking that you can still unlock the bootloader using htcdev.com. They haven't removed it yet have they?
[HTC Rezound] kidwolf908:
Epic!

What about that AmonRa image?

I'm hopeful there will be a TWRP2.0 or CWM image made for the Vigor now.

Are you guys using HTC Super tool to perm root now?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
I thought S-ON locked the recovery partition but I'll take your word for it. Amon-Ra is already up and running on developer Rezounds. So let's rock this puppy.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
AmonRa doesn't flash for me
[HTC Rezound] WorldOfJohnboy:
So, am I correct in stating that this will allow us to do everything but Flash Radios & Kernels (or is it just Radios)?
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
Yes.. but if you haven't so already its good to obtain your unlock.bin now just incase
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Well he got us an unlocked bootloader. Man deserves some respect and props for that.
[HTC Rezound] Superguy:
Does this still void your warranty?
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Yes it will void the warranty.

[HTC Rezound] Whi7eRa66iT:
I was pleasantly surprised how simple that was. Very nice. :)
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
So would we be able to flash kernels?
[HTC Rezound] racingtiger03:
what I wanna know is has anyone tried flashing VIGOR files and test roms with this unlock? :D
[HTC Rezound] church101:
Who ?
[HTC Rezound] racingtiger03:
no kernels or radios, S-on still checks for a signed security key for those.
[HTC Rezound] church101:
Thought u can flash.kernels just not through recovery
[HTC Rezound] Superguy:
So another question - does this mean Zergrush will perma-root it, and programs like Adfree will actually work?
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Ah okay thanks for that. At least we can get some custom ROM loving in the mean time.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Should work.

No, You can still flash recovery, system, data and boot. Nothing else. And you have to flash boot and reocvery using fastboot.

I should so a Q/A thread on this. I have been through it all with the Evo 3D. I will put up something tonight that helps everyone get where they need to be. At work now :mad:

Rock it? Oh yeah! You can count on this!

Radios, hboots, some other partitions you shouldnt be messing with.

Yes.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Anyone else feeling the effects of the 4G outage? I can't even get consistent 1x right now. Oh and for those that just unlocked and don't have data...don't panic. It's them not us.

I tried posting a thread for help with unrooting. Could someone please give me a step by step guide on how to unroot? I know vzw will still know but most don't check for it. I just have no idea how to unroot or what files need to be removed or how to. Thanks guys.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
It will still say relocked instead of locked in the bootloader. But:

1. Hook it up in fastboot (same as how you would type gettoken )

2. Type fastboot OEM lock

3. Run the official ruu
[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
to hook it up to fast boot do i follow these directions? http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-4/

also, what is a ruu? this is where i get confused, i dont understand all these terms yet. i've never had an htc phone before, my apologizes.
[HTC Rezound] Notorious:
A ruu returns you to stock no root nothing just stock
[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
ok so to unroot:

- step 1 i follow this right? http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-4/

- step 2 flash the ruu? and im done?

how do i flash ruu and where do i get the correct one? flashing this will remove SU?

No service/signal after unlock

Edit: Finally found in this thread that you have to put the battery door back on as apparently the antennas are in the door. I'm leaving this post here in case anyone else runs into this.

I went through the unlock process last night and after running the "fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin" the phone rebooted and I noticed it was showing No Service. Then I ran the perm-root script which appears to have worked but I still have no signal.

At this point I think something happened to the radio, so I ran "fastboot oem lock" to no avail. Then I flashed RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_1.02.605.6_Radio_RS_0.95.00.1013r_3161E_9K_NV_8k_1.12_9k_1.83_V_APT_release_221502_signed.exe, which was successful after a couple tries, but the radio is still not working.

Question regarding the feedback from headphones

Sorry I know this is in the wrong thread but it seemed one of the most active so I am posting here. I was wondering if the headphones feedback problem is solved when using another rom. I am having this issue now and it is quite frustrating. I called HTC and they said they are working on a solution but nothing yet. Thanks a million
[HTC Rezound] awmobjects:
The step that confuses me is with the Perm Root with OneClick_1.1.

It appears to do nothing...I have had many different issues:

I run the next step after unlocking and still connected to PC and a blank screen:

1) First adb server out of date...I resolved with killing any instances running.

2) I run OneClick again and then it can't find directories...note that the phone is in the same state from then end of step 1 above and after above corrective action listed.

At what point do I rerun OneClick? What step/stage should the phone be in (debug mode,charging, boot load...?)...please give steps/details...thx

Will it actually reboot the phone?...how do I know if it's really rooted?

Thanks,

Anthony
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
You're 1/2 way there. The phone should be on, USB debugging enabled, charge mode only.

The errors you're seeing in OneClick are usually related to either not uncompressing the zip file or (as some say) running as administrator. My advice is to open a command prompt as administrator, cd to the directory you have OneClick in, and run it from there.

Yes OneClick will/should reboot the phone. Once properly rooted you should have superuser installed as an app. Download Root Checker from the market or in ADB shell type su, if you need to be sure.

If you need more instruction just let us know.

Ok now that I'm rooted and have validated this, what are the steps for recovery/boot img?

I have PH98IMG.zip downloaded and after that I'm somewhat uncertain:

* How/where do I get the recovery.img and/or boot.img

* Do I need both recovery/boot.img

* What other files (recovery-ra_supersonic...?) and from where

* What steps

* Are there any version issues with all necessary files required in this effort

...don't want to screw up my phone so I want to be certain of the details...MrSmith did a GREAT job of detail clarity on my previous question.

Thanks,

Anthony
[HTC Rezound] nightwings:
PH98IMG.zip will flash you a new kernel, if you are not sure what it is, then don't flash it.

Recovery.img file can be found in Amon Ra or CWM's zip file.

boot.img is usually in the flashable kernel.

recovery.img is necessary for you to get into the recovery and flash roms

See the corresponding posts. The OPs have included all the information you need.

Or, as a guide, see this post

[HTC Rezound] 144saint:
This is not to different from the Evo3D.

HTC Dev Unlock it. Root it and then flash roms. Booting into the recovery wont flash kernels onto the phone.

I just put the recovery in the adb tools.

then I

code:

adb reboot bootloader

it goes into fastboot

code:

fastboot boot recovery.img

it will boot into recovery and flash the kernel along the rom properly.
[HTC Rezound] awmobjects:
First off, I'm very appreciative of any/all responses so no bad feelings but have to say that it appears much easier said than done, unfortunately...some details appear to be missing and/or slightly different with different users and/or explained differently leaving an element of interpretation and trial/error.

I'm using CleanFLASH now for recovery flashing as follows and have what appears to be another opportunity:

1) Put "recovery.img" (renamed from the ra 3.11 supersonic img download) into same dir as CleanFLASH1.0 runs

2) Run recovery from CleanFLASH.bat.

3) QuickBoot app used to get into recovery, however, stuck on white screen with HTC logo over several minutes now...Is this ok???

I stopped and attempting to find more information before proceeding.

Thanks Very Much,

[HTC Rezound] nate2830:
So I got my unlock code then rebooted the phone (I don't want to unlock yet).......it now bootloops, battery door on or not...any advice?? I re-installed the SIM card to no avail....

While in Fast boot I unplugged the USB, that's all I can remember that would be different....
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
One shouldn't have anything to do with the other. Try getting back into recovery. if that works, then reboot again. Hopefully you'll come out of the loop.
[HTC Rezound] antawnm26:
Exactly how do you use this? do you need adb?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
The onclick root and temp-root are batch files. ADB is included, all you need to do is run the .bat file. If you're on a Mac/Linux then a bit more work needs to be done. I really have to get around to making an AIO for that.

I can't see that. You can copy and paste from the DOS window. right click in the DOS window and choose mark. Highlight what you want to copy then hit enter. Then you can just paste the output in your reply.

Ha missed the post before this. So there's your answer for copy/paste from DOS.

thanks I didnt get his method to work but done the long process with htcdev..I would like to point out somethings..first when you go to download the sdk it wouldnt allow me to download the platform tools says couldnt generate location..I had to do the single method and go and get the files i needed and then place them in that folder...I know it sounds weird due to the fact I'm not explaining it that well..lol..but i got it done..I done the perm root...

Im a bit confused as to how to go about doing the backup before I go any further as in roms,deleting bloat
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
You're going to need to flash a recovery now. There's a good couple threads on it already so I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it here.

Download CWM or Amon-Ra(preferred right now) flash in fastboot.

Once you get that far, you need to reboot into your new recovery(same as fastboot for the unlock) and you can backup your full ROM there.
[HTC Rezound] antawnm26:
When you say flash in fastboot that means which ever one I choose i would put it on my sdcard then take battery out hold volume down button/ power button and then find that file and flash it?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
I mean download it to your PC. Reboot your phone into fastboot mode and flash it using fastboot on your PC "fastboot flash recovery <insert recovery file here>"
[HTC Rezound] antawnm26:
So, I would be using the cmd prompt then? Oh god I hate that..lol..Is it a easier way?lol
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Sure, take a look in the Amon-Ra thread. It tells you how to rename the file, drop it on your SD and reboot to flash. I don't like that method because I can't tell what's being done and you don't learn anything from just dropping a file on your SD. Not that everyone wants to be stubborn like me but hey...I can try :)
[HTC Rezound] antawnm26:
ok,cool...I think i will take the route i dont want to take and learn something...
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Haha. That wasn't meant to be a guilt trip or anything.
[HTC Rezound] antawnm26:
I was having issues with the sdk i donwloaded from htc..I was in the htc super tool and right clicked then cmd and it saw my device can i just use it to install my recovery
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Don't know what the htc super tool has to offer, but if it's listed as an option then you could at least try.
[HTC Rezound] antawnm26:
when i rooted or downloaded it, it created a folder with adb fastboot already in it. so I hit adb in that folder and it saw my device...

PREPARE RECOVERY.IMG - Visit THIS thread and download the attachment. Extract "recovery.img" from the zip and place it in a folder from which you can successfully run ADB. NOTE: If you haven't already, putting the adb.exe files folder in your PATH will let you run adb from anywhere. Same goes for fastboot. This makes life with Android tweaking/hacking MUCH easier.

FLASH RECOVERY 1/2 - Now "CD" into the folder (HERE you can find more about the CD command) with recovery.img and run the following command: "adb reboot bootloader". Once the phone has rebooted into the bootloader (a white screen with text menu, should say "*** UNLOCKED ***" at the top now). In white with a red background you should see "FASTBOOT USB". If so continue, if not, ask for help

FLASH RECOVERY 2/2 - The moment you run the following command, you should see a vertical bar on the upper-right hand corner of your phones screen. If so, it's working as expected. In your CMD window, run the following command "Now "CD" into the folder with recovery.img and run the following command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

REBOOT TO RECOVERY - If you have't touched the volume keys, "BOOTLOADER" is selected and pressing power will take you to the bootloader where you can then use the arrow keys to select "RECOVERY" and again press the power button to get into recovery. Otherwise, reboot any way you see fit and once running, use "ADB reboot recovery" to get into recovery easily.

what am i missing or dont understand? I put the recovery image in C:

so how would it go or look in order for me to flash it?

how did u get ur token?? i keep gettin error command
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Can you post the full error? If you copy too much of the screen the HTCDev site will reject the key.

If you're having a problem issuing the fastboot command to get the key that's a different story. However posting either a screenshot or copy/paste of your output would help.
[HTC Rezound] MajikUF:
You shouldn't need the key to unlock it the second time. I believe lock/unlock commands work without any other options once you have "unlocked" it the first time. I believe htcdev.com has a help issue on this.

I have the HTC Evo 3d but since there is this thread about the unlock bootloader maybe the issue I'm having can be explained.

So on step 12 of the website it says to type the below:

I do so and I get the correct output that the site displays.

What's going on? Do I have to be not in the recovery fastloader screen and do that command when the normal os is showing? Or what?
