I'm trying to use autoroot 2.3 and when its doing its thing its says verifying bootloader and the boot loader is an old version apparently then it keeps goin and finishes my phone reboots and all my software information is really old versions and I'm still not rooted or anything. Then I have to flash ruu back to updated software .. any ideas why my bootloader won't unlock

What do you mean by not unlock? Can you not use it?
It just says bootloader locked and continues running scripts

I rooted 2.2 froyo, and used unrevoked forever. S is unlocked but I am unable to install any cm6 roms. Does this mean nand is still locked on my phone? And if so what do I do to unlock it as I am wery about repeating the wrong steps. Thanks

You are going to have to install the eng-bootloader in order to use the cm6 ROMs.
If you have not flashed any ROMs on your phone you should be at 2.1
Now you need to follow the rest of the instructions and install the eng-bootloader from the pc36img.zip

I have installed other roms currently running the latest fresh rom
I never updated my bootloader when I rooted my 2.2 froyo.. I have cm6. Maybe I lucked out.

Could you please confirm which boot loader you have on your phone?

Look im not trying to be mean but searching is usually your best bet. I am willing to bet your answer can be found in the first 4 pages of this forum. Try searching ENG Bootloader .

I believe the unrevoked forever does that for you but you have to select it.
from www.unrevoked.com
unrevoked forever is a tool to set your Android phone's security level to S-OFF. The security level is a flag stored on the radio; when the flag is S-OFF, the bootloader (HBOOT) will no longer check the signatures of firmware images before flashing them. This allows custom firmware images to be uploaded, including unsigned boot, recovery, splash1, and hboot images (as well as official images that have been modified). When the system is S-OFF, the NAND flash memory protection is also reduced; this allows all partitions (including /system) to be written to while the operating system is booted.
Great response REM

What are you trying to do, could you be more specific? Unrevoked gives you unlocked nand, so i'm not sure what problem your running into?
I used unrevoked..tried to install cyanogen n I get a error message
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
are you sure unrevoked worked, sometimes you have to do it a couple times....do you have superuser permissions? I would make sure unrevoked is correctly installed...also redownload your rom and make sure the download is completed successfully, i never dl to phone, always to pc...
I have superuser..I used unrevoked
should I use unrevoked forever

Boot the phone into bootloader and you should see S-ON or S-OFF. If you see S-OFF you have nand unlocked.

Yes, that is what I said earlier a couple posts up.
Ya can't flash cm6 directly from unrevoked you need eng boot and amon recovery to flash it. You are most likely nand unlocked but trying to flash through clockwork. Easy fix is download Rom manager from marketplace then choose change recovery or whatever it says. I haven't looked at it for aong time then choose amon ra recovery. Then do another nand backup because clockwork and amon don't really work together. Then you should be able to flash cm6 no problem. Though having already done this I would personally suggest vaelpak over cm6 its almost all aosp and everything on your phone will still be functional. Plus its just as snappy as cm6 and I seem to get a far greater battery life with it.

If you want to be able to install CM6 you need the ENG Bootloader.

I tried unlocking the bootloader on 2.3.3 like I did on 2.3.2, but now when i do it I get a failed attempt. Anyone know how to do this on the 2.3.3 version?
Did you re-lock your bootloader when you went to 2.3.3? The process should be the same, but it certainly wouldn't work if its already unlocked.

We have to use the paid method, correct?
Yes. I locked it before updating.

What happens when you issue a fastboot command other than oem unlock? For example; fastboot -i 0x0fce boot boot.img. To hot boot a kernel.

So I had already unlocked the phone using HTCDev's boot unlocker. Everything seemed fine right up until it came time in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751796 to run Revolutionary. The phone is bootlooping to the point that Revolutionary can't get the root, it fails and says hit almost any key to exit.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm about to throw this thing through the window.
is it GB 2.3.3 or 2.3.4?
try flashing a newer radio
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Do you happen to have a link to one?
crap the only place its even stable enough is at the bootloader and adb can't communicate with it. I don't know what to do. This blows.
search this forum for radios. there's a thread on dev section. and what android version were you on when you tried to root? might have to use taco root for 2.3.4 I think
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Well, if you unlocked through HTC you have to relock in order to s-off. Not sure if you knew that.

Yikes S-on and locked? I don't know if you can flash an RUU in this state, can you try? Hopefully someone answers, I haven't tried and I'm also not sure :-\
Can you execute the command:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
and put the phone into RUU mode? If so, then you should be able to flash the firmware from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319
the one you want is this one: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319196969 (stock odex)

What were you doing that got you stuck in boot loader? Were you previously S-Off or unlocked?
I was trying to flash recovery then my wife hit wrong button on toolkit and ended up locking it snd s off
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
You mean setting it back to s-on...
my guess is you need to find the encrypted RUU from somewhere. You may be able to find the decrypted RUU then you can use a tool to make it encrypted (ruuveal?) That should let it run when you are locked and s-on
I downloaded ruuveal but not sure jow to work it
