Na. Cause i cant get it to work.

Dont think you can use FastBOOT without UnBlocked Bootloader =/

before starting keep in mind the only way to root the r800x is to unlock the bootloader rendering warranty useless
you have to unlock your bootloder before you can root it
pm ashergrey with your meid number you can find that info in the settings in "about phone" and he'll send you the unlock code
NO OTHER METHODS OF ROOT WILL WORK so dont bother

Well, thanks guys for the help. sorry for the noob question.

guys,help,i have R800i,and i just updated to stock 4.0.2.a.062
i did the fastboot method but this is what i get

It's not to do with root, that error means you do not have an unlocked bootloader.

eh,i thought r800i dont need to unlock bootloader?

< waiting for device >
I was unlocked bootloader on my Xperia Play but it still say < waiting for device >.
what should I do?
thx

I unlocked the bootloader using the official HTCDev tool. Now what?

What are the next steps in rooting? Follow the usual using Revolutionary? Install CWM manually?
Would appreciate your help folks!
Thanks

Agreed! With the bootlaoder now unlocked, what are the steps to rooting this beast? Do we still need to downgrade? Please pardon my noobness.

You wouldn't need to downgrade, I do know that. But as far as the rest, Idk. I did mine with revolutionary a while back before the 2.3.4 update, so I've been kicking ever since.

I would see if you can install superuser from the market.
EDIT: I would also see if you can install CWM and ROM manager. If all those install ok you should be able to load a custom ROM.

You do not have to downgrade if you unlocked. You should be able to install a new recovery image like Clockwork.

An unlocked bootloader does not equal root.

If I run this, and unlock my incREDible2, what are my next steps to flashing/running some CM7.1 love? TIA

Installed CWM 5.0, superuser and after wiping data/cache and flashing a rom... Stuck at HTC White screen!
Flashed several roms, can't get passed it.
It's frustrating... No idea what to do next. I'm going to try flashing an earlier version of CWM and retry flashing a ROM.
Will update with progress.

How long are you waiting bro..?

First. You should have not used the htcdev garbage. You should have used revolutionary.
That is all.
Sorry I can't help you. I use a ns4g. And that's all I know about the htcdev unlocker

When you flash a custom ROM from CWM on an unlocked HBOOT, you then need to manually extract the boot.img from the custom ROM zip file and manually flash it in Fastboot mode using the command
Fastboot flash boot [path to the boot.img file]
This has been documented multiple times in this forum.

Yes in your case you will need to relock the bootloader in order to flash the RUU/PG32IMG.zip file. You cannot flash a RUU on an unlocked bootloader.

I'm guessing you guys have something other than .98 hboot? I'll find out soon when my wifes replacement comes in but I was not intending to use the HTC unlocker if I didn't have to. I was planning to try the tool attn1 has posted in the dev section unless the hboot changed with the ota.

Good to hear kinda thought it was. I'll be using the method attn1 has posted then. I don't trust the unlock method through HTC for one main reason which is this... Unlocking bootloader and rooting voids warranty as we all know. So what happens when HTC knows your bootloader was unlocked because you used their tool and they have the serial number?

White HTC boot screen, huge mess. Someone please help.

I'm stuck on the white boot screen after trying to flash Miui onto an otherwise functioning incredible 2. I can however access recovery,hboot, fast boot,and all that other good stuff. I unlocked the bootloader via the HTC dev website, which I now hear was a total mistake. To further screw me over, the universe decided that the phone was no longer fit to be detected by my cmd, so I can't use adb or fast boot either. I'm downloading the ruu to see if I can flash it from the sd card, but have no idea if it will work. Do I need to have the bootloader locked? Also, I don't have s-off. Any help is much appreciated, and thanks in advance.

I've been there with my phone. I though I had bricked it. I was able to get it back. Hopefully you have figured out how by now. I found you can only run a stock kernel with the unlocked bootloader. There are only a few rooted roms you can run with the htc unlock. You can run one of them or obtain s-off. To do that you need to relock the boot loader and follow the instructions to down grade the bootloader. Then you can use the root instructions.

Sometimes I think that HTC tricks people into thinking that there phone has been rooted, and that they can flash ROMs. With the unlock just to teach them not to hack there phones. You are definitely not the only person who has fallen into this hole.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA

You can run ROMs with custom kernels just fine, you just need to extract the boot.img and flash it separately through fastboot.

Looks like the zip is signed incorrectly. If you know what I mean by an md5 sum, check it corresponds to the one the developer lists. If you don't know what I mean by an md5 sum, then try to download the ROM again and flash the new download. Which ROM is it by the way?

Slightly out of my depth here, but go to the thread demkantor posted a few posts up and read carefully, it will be very informative.
Also you appear to be using stock Android recovery, I'm not certain this is a problem but just to make sure I would find out how to use fastboot to flash clockworkmod recovery. Just Google "flash clockworkmod recovery fast boot" or something along those lines... If you already have android SDK set up, etc. Which I assume you must have being as you're rooted, it shouldn't be too difficult.
Sorry this is about as much as I can help, I'm sure demkantor will be able to help you through anything more than this.

thanks buddy ,
yes having andriod sdk .

THIS THREAD will teach you how to use fastboot to do
various things such as flash a new recovery. problem is you dont have a bootloader with fastboot
capabilities, well at least not many. do you know how the phone was rooted? if it was
done using the gfree method than you can simply flash one of the PC10IMG.zips from
post 30 in the thread linked above (done via bootloader) if not it could be an issue to use do this.
you can only flash update.zips through the recovery you have now and they more than likely would need to be signed by htc. if you dont have a working os right now then
you may need to flash an ruu (one that matches your phone) let me know where you stand on all this

Have you tried flashing a firmware.zip by naming it 0P6BIMG.zip and putting it on the root of SD, and you the flashing process is done see if you can get into stock recovery. If that works then you can try flashing TWRP and see if it sticks.

I recon your best bet is to try and unlock your bootloader again have you tried reinstalling/manually installing the drivers on your computer? also does it make a sound when you plug it in? and what happens if you select hBoot?
Was you trying to return to stock when this happened?

considering your version of hboot I don't think firewater will work which means you would need to use sunshine which costs money...
You would also need to be within you system(Android) and be rooted so at the moment best thing to concentrate on is getting your device a recovery / get it to connect to a PC
If you can get your Device to show up in ADB your chances of recovering it get a lot higher

You need to use firewater s-off or if that one does not work for you sunshine s-off works but cost $25 dollars.
The issue your going to have is you can't boot at all and you said fastboot commands not working. Are you sure you have the correct fastboot and adb files in the folder your connected to?

What did you do to get your phone to this point? I need to know what you tried to do to get a better idea of how to fix it. You said the phone won't boot or go into recovery I need to figure out why so I need to know what you did.
I think your fastboot setup is wrong that's why fastboot is not working what are you typing in terminal from start to when it fails.

OK... this is what I can understand.
You relocked the bootloader for some reason then you unable to boot the phone anymore and when you try to enter recovery, it boots to bootloader again. All fastboot command doesn't work.
Now ... do you still have the unlock_code.bin with you ? You need to re unlock the bootloader then other fastboot command will work like fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and etc.
