How can I check that my bootloader is unlocked? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can I check that my bootloader is unlocked?
I don't know how can I check it.
This numbers *#*#7378423#*#* didn't work

Boot into bootloader (hold volume down when powering on or adb reboot bootloader) and write down everything on that screen here

Screenshot:

It is no unlocked but you have some security flags removed, it was probably rooted but not through the recommended method. What are you trying to accomplish right now?

I want to flash via fastboot boot.img (kernel)

You can go through the htcdev site and get an unlock code from them, really not a great way though.
Preferred method to root and install an engineering bootloader can be found here

[Q] 2.3.3 R800x Possible to unlock 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.

You can unlock it but you have to pay for it, something like 25 bucks and unlocking it that way with the testpoint you won't lose your drm and ota updates won't brick it

You can not get s-off through the official HTC unlocked bootloader. Skip all of this and go to the xda wiki, follow instructions on how to downgrade and root there

Yup, but why on htcdev.com we can... ? It's official trick to get off security...
Well it isn't, all it does is allow minimal security flags to be removed, enough to open up a few fastboot commands. It can allow you to flash a custom ROM but it will not give you s-off and it will give more headaches then anything else

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)
Thanks i will try this when i get home

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

You will need to flash kernel through fastboot to run most common ROMs with your current setup, may I suggest to root with gfree, more info here

in fastboot adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
gave me no device, but if i try to flash kernel via fastboot flash kernel xyz.zip i have a signature error
adb only works in os and recovery, fastboot is when in bootloader
You are best off to root with gfree but at this point you need to return to stock or at least get a working os and downgrade radio, so for now flash a ROM in your recovery and the extract the kernel and flash it in fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img

i've got only ruu.exe for this, i can't find stock rom in .zip file
i forced ruu from fastboot and it fails after sending img in ruu, signature, error 155 in ruu
after next couple tries i've got 130 error, wrong Model ID Error
You don't have superCID so most RUUs won't work, at this point take any ROM, flash it in recovery, extract the kernel from this ROM .zip (boot img) and the use fastboot to flash it
fastboot flash boot boot.img
This will get you a working os
Now you need to follow the guide to downgrade in order to allow gfree to run its exploit as the radio version you have is too high
All this can be found in the thread I linked you to but feel free to ask further questions as well

even if i try flash another recovery, zip or anything from fastboot. From recovery i can flash rom but it don't start.
status on top bootloader is relocked
Can't see your link
You may have ran something that locked your bootloader which will make things very tricky unless you still have a custom recovery. If you don't you will need to fine a ruu that is a newer version than you have now. See the stickies in the Dev section here for vision ruus and use the newest to be flashed through bootloader

TWRP recovery? If so flash a stock based ROM in there so you don't need to flash kernel, try virtuous g lite

TWRP fail, fastboot signature fail, after rebootRUU and flash zip vision.zip also signature
TWRP said, assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "
Hold on, slow down a bit, don't keep flashing just anything or you could put yourself in a harder place than you are now
So you do have twrp recovery right now correct? And you flashed virtuous g lite and got this error correct? If so let me know, don't do any thing else, and we will find a ROM that will flash that has stock kernel

Sounds good, just let me know if you want to try and fix your phone later on. The boot from SD is kinda a last resort but if your OK with it

i want fix it i don't have to, but i really like it and i would like to fix it anyway. I can't make a root and gfree because i've got errors in adb, something about eMMC
That's because your kernel has been manipulated to allow os to run from SD rather than emmc. I don't believe you will be able to use gfree while doing this.
If you want real time help I would suggest going to freenode #g2root
There you will often find people to help you in real time, not to mention some of the most knowledge about the vision

i try on #g2root and nothing. but i know my cid HTC_32, ruu dont start, i dont know what else i can do with it
Well you often need to wait around a while on #g2root or keep trying back if no one is there
What is current info on bootloader screen? Are you still unlocked?
Why not try and flash a ROM ROM through recovery and then use fastboot to flash the kerenl like I mentioned in my first response
Then with a functioning os you can begin the process to root and gain s-off with gfree
i try and won't start. i wait on g2root but one person try to help me and nothing with that
Pm me your Skype Id or some way of messaging you and when I'm @ PC I'll let you know
