Then your boot loader is unlocked. Post a screen shot of the cmd window.

If the blue led lights up then it's pointless trying to unlock it again. Flash whatever it is you unlocked your boot loader for and report back. And in future make your screen shots bigger.

Hello ..
I tried to install a kernel ..
When I try to get into recovery does not fit ..

as I thought the bootloader is not unlocked ..
What can I do?
Thanks in advance

You're doing it wrong!
You hold the menu key!

I hold to unlock the bootloader menu ..
Right at the bottom.
but can not, as I have shown with the photo.
if I install the kernel and go into recovery with volume down button, nothing happens.
if I type in the phone * # * # 7378423 # * # *, under Bootloader unlock allowed says yes
P.s. regarding the video do the same passage ..

To unlock bootloader I did this:
First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.
On your computer, click Continue at the bottom of this page to start the unlock boot loader process.
Read through the information in the pop up window and click Yes, I’m sure, if you are still confident you want to unlock the boot loader.
Read through and accept the legal terms. Click I Accept.
Enter your name, email address and the first 14 digits (remove the last digit) of your phone’s IMEI number. Click Submit. You can view the IMEI number by entering *#06# on your phone.
The unlock boot loader key is displayed. Write it down and save it for later use.
Download and install the latest Android SDK from developer.android.com.
Download and unzip this file. This is the standard android_winusb.inf-file, with a few lines of code added to enable Fastboot to support Sony and Sony Ericsson devices. Make sure you are running Google USB Driver package revision 4 or higher in your Android SDK. You can see current Google USB Driver package revision in the SDK Manager.
Place the unzipped file in the usb_driver folder, located in the Android SDK > extras > google folder on your computer. Accept to replace the old android_winusb.inf-file with the new file. If you can't find the usb_driver folder, please install the Google USB Driver Packager using the Android SDK manager.
Turn off your phone.
On your phone, push and hold the unlock button* at the same time as you connect the phone to the computer with a USB-cable. The unlock button may differ between different phone models. See the note in the bottom of this page for more information on what button use on your phone.
On your computer, you will be asked for drivers. Point to the usb_driver folder where you placed the android_winusb.inf-file, and select the Android Boot loader Interface-file.
Open a command window and go to the tools folder within the Android SDK folder.
Enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version, and verify that you get a response back (for example "0.3"). This means your phone is connected properly.
Warning! If you perform this step, you will unlock the boot loader. This may void your warranty and/or any warranty from your operator. If you still want to unlock the boot loader of your phone, enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY, where KEY is the unlock boot loader key you got in the beginning of this instruction. The boot loader should now be successfully unlocked.
per cambiare kernel ho fatto questo :
Download the latest version of the rom.
Copy the zip file downloaded to the phone's SD card.
Open the downloaded zip file from step 1 on your computer and extract the boot.img file from inside the zip to the tools folder in your ADB on your computer.
Boot into fastboot mode on your phone. To do this, turn off the phone. Then, while holding the Menu button, connect the USB cable to the phone.
Now flash the boot.img (this is the kernel that are required to update the ROM) with fastboot by typing the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
* or if the previous command does not work, then enter the following command:
fastboot-i 0x0fce flash boot boot.img
After the flash is complete, disconnect the phone from the computer.
Now, start the recovery ClockworkMod on your phone. To do this, turn on the phone, then wait for the blue LED to illuminate. Once you see the blue LED lit, enter the return key on the phone to enter CWM. In recovery, use the volume keys to move up and down and the home button to select the options.
I also followed the video you posted ..
but nothing to do ..
could you advise me ?

Things that you forgot to mention is BOOT LOADER,is it locked Or unlocked?
it will written above your phone's Hboot -2.00.0027.
If it's unlocked that try locking it back and then run stock RUU the one you were using it in last working stat.
Thanks.
How would i get to know thats its unlocked
Because its not mentioned any where on screen. what I can tell u i its was working every sim card was working on this phone .
I am new to this please if possible explain me in detail :good:

Don't get panic!
It's really easy.....as you may check that i am also new to xda infect i registered on December last month,ever since then i get to know things which i didn't know before so don't worry it will take time but you will know step by step.
As you have mention about S-On and some other detail by pressing volume down and power button.,the same way do it.
first phone should be switched off,and press volume down and power button together,once you see white background with several information regarding your phone's current status.
HBOOT
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
and some others but in that screen look for top on the list it should written locked or relocked,if not then you have to lock it back in order to run any stock RUU.
as you said that any sim card works which means that your phone is unlocked to network. but for now if there is no other issue in your phone than you have to relock the bootloader in order to run STOCK RUU.
without locked boot loader you won't be able to install RUU.
If it stats ***Locked*** than just flash any RUU by double clicking on it.,if not than just follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133336
But its says nothing locked or unlocked at the top

you can try flashing RUU with the latest or same version as you know that you already using it..but firstly you must find the correct RUU that are suitable with you CIDnum (country ID) of you phone...or else you might using a goldcard method
to check the CIDnum of your phone..your pc must have the latest HTC driver (you can find it here ), and your must already had ADB/ SDK to running android debugging bridge (you can download it minimal ADB from here or download full SDK from here )
after that get your phone to the bootloader n select FASTBOOT then connecting your phone with your pc..then open cmd and change source to your ADB / SDK folder..then typing "fastboot devices" (this is to see connected of your phone to pc)
if success connected..the output will prompt it of your phone serial number..after that you can continue to typing "fastboot getvar all"
then see your CIDnum in the line of output "INFOCID.....XXXX"
hope this help..

because..you already suggest it to OP to relock his phone bootloader..that's mean you already assume that his bootloader is already unlocked just not show in the top of bootloader..
because of that...i just wanna correct that..because what i know until now is.. actually the bootloader of Ace..by default is indeed nothing showing state locked or unlocked on the top of bootloader.. that's why i suggest him to flashing RUU again..no needed to relock bootloader first..
i just wanna correct miss direction to the OP....nothing else..

Before flashing CWM recovery, you have to unlock the boot loader, using the command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Then press Volume Up in phone to confirm.
Now you can flash.
Note: Unlocking bootloader formats the User data (/data partition), such as apps and other settings. Take a backup using Titanium Backup Tools, then proceed
Your recovery partition is locked.
1. Make yourself a developer (go to Settings -> About Phone -> Tap on Build until developer
2. In Developer options turn on Enable OEM unlock
3. Flash the new recovery, don forget to "fastboot oem unlock"
4. Important: don't allow phone to complete a normal reboot after flash. When rebooting, press Vol Up + Vol Down + Power to enter CWM recovery directly. Otherwise the stock recovery will replace CWM again.
When I type the command "fastboot oem unlock" and press enter, my phone displays a long-ish disclaimer text about the dangers of unlocking the bootloader, ending with the instruction to use Volume Up key to confirm ("YES, unlock...") or the Volume Down key to cancel ("NO, don't unlock..."). Pressing Volume Down works as expected: the line "returning to fastboot in 3secs" is displayed, followed by a return to fastboot. But pressing Volume UP seems to have NO EFFECT at all!! NOthing highlighted, no change in the screen, pressing power afterward does nothing. It is not a hardware problem of the Volume Up button either -- Volume Up/Down keys work in normal apps and in recovery mode just fine.
I was hoping that perhaps it just silently succeeded, but when i next try to flash the CWM recovery img, I still get 'sending recovery' OKAY but 'writing recovery' FAILED??
what do I do to get the volume UP to work while the phone in this mode??
BTW the phone is a Rook 4G phone from EE here in the UK. This is apparently the same as a ZTE Blade 3 A410 phone with carrier branding.
THANKS in advance for any help!

Pressing Volume Down works as expected: the line "returning to fastboot in 3secs" is displayed, followed by a return to fastboot. But pressing Volume UP seems to have NO EFFECT at all!! NOthing highlighted, no change in the screen, pressing power afterward does nothing. It is not a hardware problem of the Volume Up button either -- Volume Up/Down keys work in normal apps and in recovery mode just fine.
I was hoping that perhaps it just silently succeeded, but when i next try to flash the CWM recovery img, I still get 'sending recovery' OKAY but 'writing recovery' FAILED??
what do I do to get the volume UP to work while the phone in this mode??
BTW the phone is a Rook 4G phone from EE here in the UK. This is apparently the same as a ZTE Blade 3 A410 phone with carrier branding.
THANKS in advance for any help!

Absolutely identical experience here with the Alcatel One Touch Pop 3 - 5015x. I was following this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...lcatel-one-touch-pop-s3-t3060092/post65430049, had a problem with the OEM, solved it by finding the top post on THIS thread and now I have the exact same issue as you two gentlemen. Any help would be appreciated, cus the phone seems bricked as it is. It's stuck in boot loop and receiving no input.
Thi is NOT the exact same issue as we have: you are stuck in a boot-loop; we have a version of fastboot which seems to have disabled the volumeUp button, thereby making it impossible to confirm our request to unlock the bootloader. e can only press VolumeDown (which cancels our request to unlock the bootloader).
i posted at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65462453&postcount=48 a suggestion for how to proceed in your case: just use SP Flash tools to reinstall a stock recovery image, and then use that recovery to install a complete stock ROM.
,BTW, Sir, when you say:
> ...with the Alcatel One Touch Pop 3 - 5015x. I ... had a problem with the OEM, solved it by finding the top post on THIS thread
note that the solution given in the top post of this thread is designed for Android One devices, and your Alcatel One Touch does NOT appear in the list of supported devices for that "fix." can't say it's entirely surprising that you would get into a bootloader problem if you apply top your phone a bootloader unlock solution for some random other platform!! LUck would not likely be with you when doing that.

Go in bootloader mode, connect your phone to your computer and tell me what do you get if you tape in your console "fastboot devices"
I want to know the number before fastboot.. mine is strange and maybe not the original

Before flashing CWM recovery, you have to unlock the boot loader, using the command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Then press Volume Up in phone to confirm.
Now you can flash.
Note: Unlocking bootloader formats the User data (/data partition), such as apps and other settings. Take a backup using Titanium Backup Tools, then proceed

I have the same problem, but i just resolve it now. First, i've connected my phone in normal mode, then i opened cmd and wrote: adb devices, and a popup displayed in my phone to allow adb debug. I allowed and reboot to bootloader and follow all steps to unlock bootloader.
I also have problems, my phone is a polaroid turbo c4 plus and i cand get through the setup, so i can't install cwm and i am searching for methods to recover it, it's pretty hard since theres nothing online about it

That means your PC isn't installing fastboot drivers.
You have to install it manually. Just download below flashtool (also you'll need it later in final installation) (link below)
http://d-h.st/Kb8
Install it in your default PC drive.
Navigate to;
flashtool folder (default drive) > drivers > flashtool driver.exe > double click on it > next > fastboot drivers (at bottom of the list) install it and now connect your phone in fastboot mode.
Now follow and Complete popups for fastboot.
(If there's popup for MTP drivers, just cancel it)
After installation is finished Disconnect device and connect again in fastboot mode.
(VolUP and then connect USB )
If above process fails, let me know

Okay! So you are at the first step (UBL)
Answer few questions;
1. Which windows version are you using?
2. Do your phone successfully stay in fastboot mode?
(Power off > press volUP > connecting USB )
[Blue LED appears]
3. Did you get your Unlocking Bootloader Code from Sony site?
PS: when you successfully typed those three commands, your phone will auto reboot and bootloader will be unlocked.
To confirm that your bootloader is unlocked, you'll notice that your phone is factory resetted.
Also type *#*#7378423#*#* in dialer and find bootloader unlock status.

If you have successfully performed every step till (7) and rebooted into system (7th step) , you shouldn't get any problem.
To enter into TWRP, reboot your device and when you see magenta LED press volUP button for couple of times, you'll successfully enter into TWRP.

Nope! You can't skip bootloader.
There are some ROMs available that can be flashed with locked bootloader.
Soft bricking is the main drawback of flashing ROM on locked bootloader. Usually it happens once.
PS: I can't provide pics of steps. Its because I already unlocked my bootloader and I can't do it again.
Also I don't have another ACRO S.
I suggest you to unlock your bootloader using other PC to avoid bricking.

1. What phone model? What version of firmware 5.0.2 or 6.0.1?
Yes, same this with me. 6.0. I tried reset, but reset is not working. So I unlocked device , installed twrp, but twrp sometimes starts and only for few seconds. Mostly phone is either stuck in logo, or just shuts down after boot vibration. No luck in recovery. My phone crashed suddenly and got into this situation.

You have to register.
For Windows: Install HTC drivers, HTC Sync Manager(optional), fastboot, adb.
For linux: Install android-tools
Put phone into Hboot -> Fastboot.
Connect to PC and from cmd/terminal you have to execute commands as told by HTC site.
> fastboot oem get_identifier_token
This will give you a string , copy paste from '<<Identifier Token start>>' to '<<Token End>>' , only this column, no prefix.
Paste this into website. There will be text box while following steps.
You will get a file in email attachment. It will be something like this 'Unlock_code.bin'
And also the link to further steps will be provided.
> fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
You will get option on phone screen. 'Yes' 'No'. Use volume button and select Yes.
and its done.
It hardly takes a minute

Yes it happens sometimes.
Make sure the recovery step was complete. For win: The .exe cmd should exit on clicking enter or automatic, till then don't remove the phone.
Try some combinations:
- turn phone OFF from Hboot then start recovery
- if screen shows 'entering recovery' let it be , wait for reboot or shutdown
- try alternative options of 'reset' and 'recovery' both will get you to twrp
- remove sdcard then try
- check charging
- don't try if overheating, let the phone be in normal temperature.
I had similar problem, but trying combos started twrp.
The mistake I did was to wipe everything. Don't do that, try to wipe cache, the first default option provided by twrp and start phone. (no sdcard/sim)
I was able to install Tomal's Discovery ROM but after some time phone again rebooted and stuck in loop.
For any restore/flash use internal memory. SDcard failed to work for me ( i tried many different sdcards).

ROOT Elephone S7 4gb on Windows 10x64 at last!

For those that, like me, could not get driver recognition on the latest Win 10 x64 no matter what you tried. And ,yes, using every tutorial I could find on this and two "other Forums". Odin failed to see my device (still can't) Cydia impactor allows rebooting into fastboot and D/L but doesn't connect in either alt. mode. Yes, drivers all removed and replaced in varying states (usbdeview, etc.).
But ADB/Fastboot works!
Make sure you have your adb/fastboot drivers installed universally (Check this Fabulous Forum)
Download device-specific TWRP - I used this one for the 4gb version - https://www.dropbox.com/s/b7u3k1mgpppxlyx/recovery.img?dl=0
L.Shift-R. click in the folder you downloaded to (Open Command Window Here) - "adb devices" (to make sure device registers) then - "adb reboot bootloader" gets you into fastboot. - "fastoot boot {your-recovery-name}.img"
I got a fully functional TOUCH CAPABLE TWRP. Which I proceeded to load this - https://www.dropbox.com/s/j1owqv7mjkdpo75/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?dl=0 - and, VOILA! ROOT!!
I had similar issues with my laptop and drivers. Used a friend laptop in the end to "see" the phone and install twrp.

When I try to boot the recovery.img with fastboot it says that my OEM is locked. I check OEM unlock in developer options, then I do: adb reboot bootloader, then fastboot oem unlock. A warning appears saying to press VOLUME UP button to continue, voiding the warranty or VOLUME DOWN to go back. I try to press VOLUME UP and nothing happens... how did you do it?

Hi there, I have the same issue. No success
I found a way, instead of volume up, use the home button this worked for me.. however after I unlocked the OEM and flashed TWRP the phone didn't want to boot anymore. It was stuck on Elephone logo with warning: "Orange State: The phone has been unlocked and can't be trusted. Your device will boot in 5s", however it didn't boot and stayed like that for almost an hour. Had to flash back the stock firmware to boot. Tried 1 more time the procedure to root but again the same. Maybe I do something wrong?
stock fw flash back
Hi, please can you help me with how you flashed back the stock firmware?
I get an error message with twrp : invalid zip file format.
Thank you in advance!

I read somewhere the is a zip inside the update.zip & is that one that is flash able with twrp.
Have a look
During the main time I managed to flash the 0218 stock rom.
I still got the orange message but the phone finally boot. Then I just called the twrp recovery img via atb. I did nothing only touch the reboot in the twrp screen and since then "Orange status...." again.
May be the twrp recovery img is not the right one...
Bad command "fastoot boot {your-recovery-name}.img"
after OEM alow (informacion phone/compilacion number touch fast 9 times/access/alow oem)
fastboot oem unlock
"fastboot boot {your-recovery-name}.img" for me is fastboot boot recovery.img and all OK
bat still not working (phone not thrust unlocked bootloader cleaning data in 5..4..3..2..1.. and rebot)
