first i need to getting my flippin htc register to go through.... i would get all excited and have to wait on a damn confirmation email
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Yes, but it won't reinstate your warranty.
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
screwed somthing up...

when I ran the command, this is what I got

fastboot not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file

any help would be greatly appreciated. should I unplug the phone and reboot and start over? will my phone work?
[HTC Rezound] jkc120:
Make sure you're in the directory where fastboot.exe is, or add that dir to your path via the system PATH environment variable.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
That's cool man. I know I won't be able to recover the warranty and I am fine with that. Just wanted to know if I do pz my phone if I will still be able to recover w/ RUU. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] Superguy:
Cool. That's how I read it as well.
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
I have no idea what that means :(

I think I am too new with HTC...... not to rooting and flashing tho.

can I just unplug and try again in the morning? I just hope my phone works....need it for work in the am lol

I read and read and read,.....thought I was doing it all right.....

htcdev activation

i have been waiting for a few hours for an activation email and still have not gotten it. is there any other way to get my account activated and a token/
[HTC Rezound] nightwings:
That's strange. It only took a second for me.

Can you try using another email address?
[HTC Rezound] nev310:
i tried 2 different ones
[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
Dumb question, but have you checked your spam folder?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
PM me your token. Ill send you your unlock bin file.
[HTC Rezound] nev310:
i got it. i logged into a yahoo mail i havent used in years and it asked me to upgrade my mail and i click it and it showed the activation email. all after i registered with it.
[HTC Rezound] oxlong27:
Anyone use Linux to flash the unlock.bin? What command did u use? Mine says error cannot load. Debugging is checked and the file is in the same folder as fastboot
[HTC Rezound] splatoid:
Run CMD as administrator. And just use the command on there HTC's instructions site copy and paste but don't copy the period at the end of command. That worked for me. Were you able to get to your folder with the three files in it?

Just thought i would add this . It was my problem when I tried.
[HTC Rezound] RED ZMAN:
Awesome, all done in about 5 minutes.

I used the HTC Super Tool V2 directions, and didn't have to download anything else really.

Restoring via TI Backup right now. Thank you SO much for the great directions and for the easy root afterwards!
[HTC Rezound] lllboredlll:
you need to have a linux variant of fastboot not the .exe version then the commands are still the same... just make sure your unlock bin is in the same folder or you will have to type the full directory out
[HTC Rezound] compchick813:
Same here, feels like I've been waiting forever!
[HTC Rezound] dezt818:
I did and it went smooth thanks alot for your help ! :D Heard you have a rom coming out cant wait to flash it !
[HTC Rezound] tmushy:
Gmail servers are having a delay delivering htcdev emails. I tried two different accounts with same problem. Use a yahoo email address and its instant delivery.

Thanks original poster. Permanent root is excellent thank you!
[HTC Rezound] randpost:
Some quick progress in such a short time.

Things I've done already:

Flashed Amon Ra Recovery (have performed 2 nand recoveries without a hitch)

Flashed CWM Recovery to replace Amon Ra (no real reason other than I can)

Flashed Clean Rom which was made by scrosler (Excellent Custom Rom)

Flashed BAMF 1.0 Custom Rom to replace clean Rom (gotta try everything)

Gotta love the lightning fast development. Hopefully we see some CM9 support.
[HTC Rezound] pwrdbykyank:
so now since we got dev unlock, does it mean themed roms with processor speed tweaks can be installed?? are there any themes roms out?
[HTC Rezound] randpost:
Not that I know of.
[HTC Rezound] texanaustinite:
Stuck in One Click...

Get to this step.

* daemon started successfully *

then it hangs, cursor blinking.

USB debug is checked, HTC Sync has been uninstalled, charge only.

Any help please.

Edit: Tried to run it again... now stuck in ---WAITING FOR DEVICE---
[HTC Rezound] pwrdbykyank:
reboot your phone and computer and try again. If it doesnt work then make sure your drivers are installed correctly and also try running it with your phone launcher unlocked and at main desktop
[HTC Rezound] randpost:
Like he said, rebooting should fix your issue.
[HTC Rezound] texanaustinite:
Still stuck on "daemon started successfully"

Damn... running late for work now. will try again tonight.

Thanks for the help.
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
I think the folder is my problem. Everything else was nice and smooth. Where do I create this file? I don't have the 3 files . I was able to install the SDK package. But don't k.ow where to find the 3 files.

Sent from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
For everyone that doesn't have/know how to work with the Android SDK, I've taken the files you need and added them to this zip file. It contains:

ADB.exe

AdbWinApi.dll

AdbWinUSBApi.dll

Fastboot.exe

This is all you will need to get unlocked...enjoy
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
THANK YOU! I have put them in my HTC folder.....do I need to extract them there before I start the unlock process?
[HTC Rezound] texanaustinite:
Can anyone layout the steps to run One Click? I know its supposed to be easy, but I couldn't get it to work last night nor this morning.

Plus I haven't rooted a device since my Inc in August of '10.

Any help is appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
I figured that they needed to be extracted, I could be wrong, but when I extracted them, fastboot was the only one there. The others were not.
[HTC Rezound] luke1333:
anybody packaged the program as a zip yet? like if htcdev.com takes it off their website can i still unlock my bootloader? in the process of getting rezound. i have a bionic if anybody wants it lol
[HTC Rezound] localceleb:
I'm having trouble registering at htcdev.com...I register, but don't get the confirmation emails to finalize the process....anyone want to pm their login?
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Mine came immediately.

FWIW, I saw where another user had to update their yahoo mail account in order to see it and another one found it in their spam file.

Good luck!
[HTC Rezound] localceleb:
I did it about 12 hours ago with 2 different gmail accounts...still nothing.
[HTC Rezound] kidwolf908:
Try a non gmail account. Some suspect gmail is holding up htcdev emails and use Yahoo instead and it works immediately.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Yeah, I just checked my zip and I think your AV might be stripping the other files out or something. All 4 files are in there.
[HTC Rezound] localceleb:
Thanks, that did the trick.
[HTC Rezound] 471405:
I just registered. My email came immediately to gmail.

Make sure Usb debugging is on. I had to turn it off and back on for it to work

[HTC Rezound] splatoid:
I have a little off topic question to ask. After installing SDK tools and going through the steps to get unlocked My spyware and virus programs see the fastboot.exe file in the folder as a Trojan.agent/Gen-usrMgr why would this show up as such. Just because it's an exe file?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
I am having all kinds of trouble. I tried downloading the "android" files from htcdev, took ALONG time. I see it on my computer. Then I go to step 6, open up the command prompt and it cant identify any of the commands or paths. So I went back and did this

To find adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, look in \android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

2.

To find fastboot.exe look in \android-sdk-windows\tools

clicked on the first one a screen ran real quick. Then I couldnt find the second, so I am downloading fastboot right now. Should this be taking me 2hrs to complete all this?

Does anyone have the Linux version of fastboot when I run the unlock command it says permission denied. I can't figure this out surely there is a Linux vet that could help me pm me I would be forever greatful
[HTC Rezound] texanaustinite:
USB debug was/is on, unistalled HTC sync after unlocking, charge only. I'll click in off and on see if it helps. Might try reinstalling the drivers also tonight since I can't do it at work.
[HTC Rezound] mjt1111:
I have question so once you unlock the bootloader and do perm root you can in theory flash a custom kernel?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
If you can wait 4 hours I can hook you up. I can't verify this but here's a link I found:

[HTC Rezound] Doddzilla:
with HTC super tools I have put the unlock code bin in the root of the root folder i keep getting Rebooting to fastboot-Error:device not found. Any suggestions?
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
So I called HTC today and asked them if they would still honor the warranty if you unlock the bootloader and then something completely unrelated to the bootloader goes wrong, like a dead pixel or loose port or something. They told me that it completely voids the warranty, and they won't honor any part of it, regardless of if it's related to the unlock or not. I'm still doing it anyway when I find a ROM I want to flash, but I just thought everyone would like to know.
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
Ok, I have unlocked bootloader, tried the one click perm root, and I cant get it to root, do I do this from the bootloader screen or?
[HTC Rezound] Geoi1006:
This solidifies my choice in the Rezound. I was doing alot of second guessing with how locked down the phone was. I was about through my return period with Amazon, so incredibly glad we held on lol. I love LOVE sense and owning a device incapable of running it would have sucked bad.
[HTC Rezound] nightwings:
Do it after entering into Android normally
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
I cant even get past step 2 of htcs instructions. It wont go into bootloader mode. The little green circle turns into a red triangle with a "!" in it and sits there until I pull the battery. I have done a factory reset and cleared storage and still wont do it. What do I do?
[HTC Rezound] nightwings:
First, press Volume Down and hold,

then press Power to start the device into Bootloader mode.
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
Yeah I got that far, sorry I should have said step 3. I selected fastboot and hit power and it goes to the black screen with the green circle and the phone under it, then the green circle turns to a red triangle with a "!" in it and sits there until I pull the battery.

Anyway I got it to work by using cleantool to boot to the bootloader. I just wanted the unlock.bin so I could unlock later now Im p'sd cuz I did a factory reset for no reason, now I basically have to unlock it so I can restore with titanium. I'm also woried that this may be a problem down the road. Oh well, if anyone else runs into the red triangle use cleantool option #9 to get passed it.

Edit: I tried again and it works without cleantool now, maybe getting there once knocked it loose, IDK.
[HTC Rezound] nightwings:
Then you should be able to get back to the boot menu by pushing the volume button or power button
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
tried pushing everything, it was stuck, did it 3 times. Unlocked now, no worries(well except that whole warranty thing.
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
I did that (phone turned on, fully functional) one thing it kept saying adb out of date....

This is my first attempt at rotting ever.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Nope. Check the beginning of this thread for a link to the oneclick root(posted by NilsP) boot back into the phone, turn USB debugging back on, run the batch file on your computer, and Bob's your uncle.
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
I AM ROOTED!!! THanks to everyone for all the help!

I had to stop adb on my computer and to get htc sync off the desktop.
[HTC Rezound] mangler1055:
Does anyone just have the windows drivers? i can't install the htc sync tool because of company white listing. I can however install drivers.

[HTC Rezound] luke1333:
Ok rezound will be here probably Monday. You think I will still be able to unlock my bootloader that long after this has came out? Or will it be removed and not possible to unlock bootloader when I get mine? Any help would be great thanks!
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
I think it will be unlockable indefinitely by the looks of that official statement.
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
How do I get the AV to not do that? What is AV? Sorry for all the newbie questions.

Sent from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
AV = Antivirus. Some AV programs think fastboot or adb are viruses. So you may need to set an exclusion. I know my files are good because I uploaded them from my work PC that has way more strict AV controls.

[HTC Rezound] hoovnick:
Had a similar problem. Had to look under my task manager on my laptop and kill the adb that was running. Reran the script and boom! I was perm rooted. Hope that helps
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
adb server out of date usually means you either have another version of ADB installed(via the Android SDK) or htc sync running. If you have ADB installed from the SDK copy that version into the uncompressed\files directory.

[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
When you use the unlocker it copies your ESN so you can't relock. They already have your info.

[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Nope, rooting kills BT until you restart your phone.

If you have everything in the directory you should be good. I used the HTC 3.0 drivers and they don't have sync so that wasn't a concern. The only other thing would be to try running your command prompt as administrator

Um. looks like USB debugging isn't enabled on your phone. Usually the only way you get that error.

Done!!!!! It finally worked!!

USB debug was off!

Don't know how it clicked off but for those having issues... set your screen to never turn off, check USB debugging, and leave it on that screen while you run the script.

Ran it twice and it took on the second.

Thank you all for the help!!!

edit: I'm as giddy as a school girl..."
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Many people have been bit by this. After doing the bootloader unlock a factory reset happens which turns it off.
[HTC Rezound] texanaustinite:
NilsP, before every previous attempt, I made sure USB debug was checked. Didn't realize it was showing up in the status bar.

Thanks for the script btw...
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Only on temp root. Using oneclick root after the bootloader is unlocked eliminates this problem. I have been able to turn BT on and off after permroot without any problems. On temp root, before unlocked, that was impossible.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
When I perm rooted it fried BT until I rebooted. So take it with a grain of salt, your mileage may vary or however the saying goes these days.
[HTC Rezound] nlitend1:
Once we get S-off is it possible to get it to say "locked" (not "relocked") if we flash with a RUU? I may be mistaken, but isn't this possible with other HTC phones in order to get them say "locked" and to S-on?
[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
I had this problem too... I had to kill anything relating to htc in my system processes, then it took about 3 times running all the way through before it took. All in all, about 15-20 mins total when i did mine. Hope it helps!!:D
[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
few quick questions...

- any truth to this? htcdev copies your phone info then forwards it to verizon? so there is no way to unroot and get around the warranty?

- this htcdev will completely unlock my phone? s-off is pretty much something none of us would really ever use if it happens? i keep reading that it's really not necessary and that we have all we need in this current method?

- i installed htc sync on my pc but my phone says "finding htc sync on your pc. please wait". it can never find it. did all my drivers install correctly?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Answers in Bold
[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
thank you for your quick response! so just unistall htc sync? no use of it anymore?

also, i'm at step 7 i just unlocked my bootloader, worked fine. how do i use the perm root option now? do i just click on the "OneClickRoot.bat" file from the "OneClickRoot_1.1" folder on my desktop?

EDIT: I plugged my phone into my PC. Phone is on on and in CHARGE only mode. I clicked the .bat file and it just hangs at *Daemon Started Successfully*. This is what I'm getting:

[HTC Rezound] nlitend1:
Hmmm... at what point does HTC send info to VZW? I got my unlock file from the HTC site, but have not installed it on the phone. Does that mean i'm already on the "no warranty" list?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
No. Well, maybe but I highly doubt it.

No. Not until you actually unlock it.
[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
so since my phone is rooted im now unable to ever send it back to verizon if my phone has any problems, even if its not a user error but hardware? so i might as well cancel my asurion?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
HTC doesn't send info to Verizon on unlocks because they can't. HTC can tell whether you applied for an unlock key not that you actually unlocked the device. Verizon well they don't know anything .... until you hand them the phone and they check(which they don't). Asurion is something you should NEVER drop considering if for some strange reason Verizon won't fix/replace your phone, they will.

[HTC Rezound] B-Nice_88:
I've done everything inside the first post...my bootloader is unlocked, but I can't get permRoot. I copied to the C:\Android\onclick directory and i've tried running straight and as administrator...nothing happens. I mean the bat file runs threw and reboots the phone at the end, but the su binary and busybox do not get installed. I've tried a factory reset and ran thru the steps again and still no luck...i do have a custom recovery flashed (amonRa recovery) which shouldn't affect me gaining perm root. Any ideas??...yes i do have usb debugging on and allow installing from unknown sources...HELP ME!!! :*(
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Can you post the output of the oneclick script? Either copy/paste or screenshot.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
ADB out of date is killing you. Either you have HTC sync running or a different version of ADB running. either check task manager for another ADB or reboot the computer. Then kill HTC sync if you have it running and that should get you going.
