Go to recovery While the phone being connected to the pc and select fastboot see if that works..

I have attached a file if the above method fails tell me i will tell you what to do from the attachment..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MrFrog100:
I will try later thank you.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MrFrog100:
The above method has failed :(
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shubhojit89:
Download the attached file you will see batch file named recovery..

Copy the rar file and extract in c and it should be windows..

Replace the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

with

"fastboot oem get_identifier_token"

and place the "unlock_bin in the same folder

Delete only the file named recovery.img
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MrFrog100:
I can't find "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" attached is all i can see.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shubhojit89:
Open the 2nd last file using notepad and edit it and save then run it.

Delete the last file you see and put your unlock code in the same folder..

@OP

I would give a small tip.

To avoid giving su permissions everytime while using fastboot or any usb communication like adb, one should edit udev.

To do so:

1. Connect device in fastboot mode [or any other mode like adb] and type in terminal

lsusb

2. Check for your OEM : In your case high tech computers

Sample:

Bus 002 Device 009: ID [COLOR="Blue"]XXXX[/COLOR]:[COLOR="SeaGreen"]YYYY[/COLOR] Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB

3. Now type this

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

4. Append the rule to file

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="[COLOR="Blue"]XXXX[/COLOR]", ATTR{idProduct}=="[COLOR="SeaGreen"]YYYY[/COLOR]", MODE="0666", OWNER="<[COLOR="Red"]username[/COLOR]>"

save and exit!

hello!

i found your tutorial is very clear to read, much clearer than other ones I read in French. Maybe it's because they were meant to root with windows ;) . Anyway I tried to get the 3 tools to start the tutorial but I had to upgrade my Ubuntu first to the 14.04 release because mine is no longer supported! So I wanted to know if the upgrade to the 14.04 could unease the pursuit of this tutorial.

(Sorry for my writing, I hope it's not too weird to read, or at least funny!)

Recently we all see new updates coming out on various applications out there. On Wechat recently in one of the updates it stated various bug fixes and mods but did not state that once you update to its new application that you will no longer be able to uninstall this application from your smartphone. I have an HTC One X and a Samsung Note 2. I updated on my HTC but not on my Samsung Note 2 after updating I found that my uninstall option had vanished. Slowly but surely these applications always come up with new updates that invade our privacy.

On the new HTC ONE I noticed recently that it came with Wechat and Facebook here in Taiwan and the option to uninstall was not available. What is irritating is that they have the permission to Toggle your accounts and act as account manager to control your sync options to basically sync what they want and need.

Below I added some images to show before and after update while they did not tell you that after you update you will no longer be able to uninstall I thought that was one bad ass move on their behalf to do so.
[General Topics] immortalneo:
They can't be uninstalled like regular apps, because they are system apps mate! They come pre-installed with the stock firmware! To uninstall them, you need root privileges. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the kind reply :o The problem is that these kinds of applications are now being forced upon us with no uninstall option without root. The other problem is that they are making them uninstallable in their updates without notifying us. We see minor bug fixes not major uninstall option lost being noted in their "what's new updates?"
[General Topics] immortalneo:
I don't think that happens mate. I have never seen any third party app turn into a system app after updating. Theoretically, if that were to happen, the app would ask for appropriate permissions before updating. :)

Unless you're rooted and the you granted the app root permission, I don't think it could have moved itself. If it came preloaded on the phone, it's normal that you can't uninstall it [without root]. However, if you're not rooted and the app really did do this by itself, I would report it to the Google from the Play Store. That's abuse of permissions and breach of privacy.
[General Topics] Nigeldg:
This is why many people don't enjoy OEM skins, they add a lot of bloatware which many don't need and often which takes up a fair amount of space when totaled together. However, I'm pretty sure a user app can't just turn into a system app with an update without you knowing. Are you absolutely certain Facebook didn't come preloaded on the One X? I think all HTC phones come with 'Facebook for HTC Sense' or something like that (although it may just have been on GB).

Google is well known for stealing info as well and has been fined in many countries for doing this. Facebook and Wechat have to share info with Google so I can see why Google would turn a blind eye to this as they are a search engine. New smartphones coming with these applications now pre-installed which can not be uninstalled without rooting is proof that they are not allowing people to uninstall after either buying a new smartphone or upgrading application on non-rooted smartphone. Breaches of privacy ar becoming ridiculous these days.
[General Topics] immortalneo:
I don't think being unable to uninstall an app is a big problem! Because, even if it came preloaded or I installed it, it would work in the same way. And if I didn't want that app any more, I would simply sign out of the app! :D

Even if you disable or force sop the application the permissions still are there and the application basically still has these permissions. The reason they won't let you uninstall is because they want access to these permissions. Here is a screenshot of permissions from my HTC even after I disabled the application. If they did not care for these permissions they would have just allowed you to uninstall like they always had allowed users to do in the past. Why was it possible to allow users to uninstall in the past but not so now? Technology become worse all of the sudden or demand for user information from people's smartphones rise?
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
The app cannot run if you disable it. At all. It can't access any of your info. If you care that much, root the phone and uninstall it with titanium backup.

I don't have an HTC One, so you'll have to check the HTC One section here on XDA. Or look up a YouTube video. But like I said, using "Disable" is as good as uninstalling it.
[General Topics] immortalneo:
No, the reason they don't want u to uninstall is because they want to include on the package "Comes pre-loaded with Facebook and Wechat". Its sort of like a marketing strategy.

Some apps were not allowed to be uninstalled in the past also. However, disabling them is an option that they have given to stop such apps.

I suggest you stop worrying about these permissions and learn to move on mate. :D

More from Engadget on what I had said before about this. Thanks to Engadget for reporting on this. Wechat and Facebook are pretty dirty and sneaky when it comes to stuff like this. I would not be surprised to see Whatsapp and Line Naver in on this as well.

[General Topics] UpSpin:
People already told it, but you seem to not understand it.

Your internal RAM is split in several partitions (system, data, cache, ...), one of them, the System, contains the Android OS and system apps, like telephone, google maps, browser, gallery, ... and pre-installed bloatware depending on your operator and the manufacturer, like Facebook, WeChat, shopping apps, ...

You and apps don't have write access to this system partition. So you're unable to change system files, but also are unable to remove apps from the system partition.

If you update one of those system apps, the update won't be installed on the system partition but on the data partition to which you have write permission. Thus you also can only remove the updates later.

If you don't like one app placed on the system partition, then you can freeze/deactivate it. It won't run any longer, and won't gather any user informations, it's impossible! It's just as if you removed it (except that the apk file is still on the system partition, but it's useless)

The alternative is to gain root access, then you can write to the system partition and remove the apk.

But because you have difficulties to understand the very basics of Android you should avoid rooting because you will understand this process and the consequences even less.

Your link about 'Study shows major generational divide on online privacy attitudes' has nothing to do with this thread or Android at all. It's about the beahviour of people using the internet and sharing their personal informations in general.

The link on engadget, again, has nothing to do with this thread. It's about updating an app outside the play store which got installed via the Play Store. Thus, in the past, you could upload a safe app to the play store and auto-update to a malicious app later. Now this won't be allowed any longer. It's probably also not directed directly against Facebook, because, as far as I read, did Facebook use this feature to offer beta versions to interested users and not to circumvent the Play Store. But again, this article has absolutely nothing to do with the problem you have described in this thread.
[General Topics] desiregeek:
Are you saying that if one does an update that because it was updated it can no longer be uninstalled? In the past this was possible, no?:confused:

No, I was saying that the app was pre-installed on your smartphone by the manufacturer. It was there from the beginnig on and you weren't able to remove it from the beginning on. It's on the system partition, just as the gallery app or google maps etc. is. Or do you complain that you can't remove google maps from your smartphone?

But this doesn't mean that you might own or have owned Android smartphones which didn't came pre-installed with WeChat etc., there you had to install it manually, thus you can fully remove it again, too.

It's also possible that it came bundled to the ROM with an OS upgrade. So the intitial OS hadn't it pre-installed, (thus you were able to remove it) but with the latest update the smartphone manufacturer bundled it with the ROM and thus it's on the system partition (and you can't remove it any longer).

But you always can disable the app. It's the same as removing it, it won't work any longer, you won't see it any longer in the app launcher. It also does not consume some space because the free space on the system partition isn't accessible for you at all.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23187771

What would be very nice to see is if manufacturers would manufacture a smartphone with two flash drives in them of which are separate and basically runs like Parallels on a Macbook. Flash A can not access flash B and Flash B can not access Flash A. They would need to be heavily and securely encrypted. One could have call logs,emails,sms messages,pictures and contacts on Flash A and downloaded applications go on to Flash B. Then they can have access to anything that they want on Flash B of which has nothing on there but other applications They could also look at contacts of which there are none accept of ones of which you choose to add manually. If they can make a smartphone run with 2 sim cards and Samsung can make a smartphone run with Windows and Google OS (coming up) then they make one like I had said.

Basically that's already done with partitioning.

No-one can access the root partition without you having rooted the phone and then given an app express permission.

I should think you could make even more partitions and encrypt the hell out of them if you wanted.

Actually a manufacturer would stand to do very well when making a smartphone like this as many people would want to buy it due to current privacy concerns of end users. The smartphone manufacturers stand to gain a lot from this but the operating suppliers like Google may not like this as they can not access everyone's personal info on their smartphones then. Two please both sides they can offer each side their own. This is kind of like the old days where the computers had two hard drives.

I don't think the burden of privacy for third party apps falls upon manufacturers so much as to the individuals that download and subscribe to those apps, besides in cases where the app is preloaded onto a device by the manufacturer. If one believes that facebook, whatsapp, etc. Take too many liberties with user privacy, one is free to delete his or her account and discontinue usage of the offensive app or apps... Just my opinion.

This is why we need to separate flash drives in future smartphones to where all our personal stuff stays on one flash drive and all the other stuff sits on the other flash drive.

For those of you who have a Samsung Note 3 you will know that Samsung Note 3 comes with Knox and Knox is supposed to be private and supposed to keep your stuff confidential. Up until this last Facebook update your email accounts in Knox were confidential but after this last update you will find that in this last update Facebook has managed to hack into the Knox and retrieve all email accounts in your Knox account. WTF??

As an example, set up 3 different email accounts in Knox and then log out of Knox and go back to your personal account. In your personal account you will have one email account which will be your Gmail account. Now go to your General,settings,Applications and then clear cache and delete Data. After you do so you will nothing there. Once you have done this exit and go back to open up your Facebook application and you will see that it is searching and it will already have one of your email accounts from your Knox account for login Delete that whole line and then hit any first letter of the other email accounts of your other email accounts in your Knox and you will find that it will pull up all 3 of them WTF? Hackers and thieves they are. When they allow you to delete cache and data in General under applications they are actually not deleting anything.

Prior to this last update this was not possible. This was not mentioned in this last update.

Two things learned, Knox is not safe and Facebook is as evil as before.
