Im trying to unlock my galaxy nexus's bootloader. my phone is in bootloader mode. i cant get my device to be seen, getting the waiting for device command.
i have installed like every driver possible. The whole android sdk with google usb. plus samsung usb drivers.
please help me i dont know what to do next
thanks
This is the best that I have found...... Have you checked in Devices to make sure you do have the ADB drivers or its it still showing the yellow triangle?

thanks! i managed to get it working. i am now rooted. One more issue... i dont seem to have service anymore???
i havent installed any roms or anything
thanks
I would try a reboot... remove sim... settings and search for networks. Other than that just flash a new rom.. Mine worked fine after root....but I guess it depends on the network.

It would really help if you gave some details:
OS
what have you tried
what happened.
If you're on windows Vista or later and can't get the device recognised - that's a common problem, install pdanet, that will pull all the drivers in, and try again.
Otherwise, more details.

i have unlock my bootloader and rooted my phone
how do i add a zip file to my sd

yes i sure have.
yes i have tryed those. my problem is it keeps saying that my unlock code cannot be loaded, and for some reason adb will not reconize my phone

Did you install the adb drivers on your pc? If adb isnt working, how did you get the info to give htc for the unlock code?
yea
like i said it works up the the point that i have to put in the fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin command

That is strange, do other fastboot commands still work? If you type fastboot devices, does it show your serial?
When flashing the unlock code does it give any certain error, or just
hang?
Is usb debugging enabled?
hey
ok what is happaning is adb shows my phone when it is normally running but when it is in bootloader or fastboot it doesent get reconized

Ok you may need to install the driver for that too. On your computer go to device manager with the phone in hboot/fastboot. See if the driver is installed. Its the same driver as the last driver you installed for regular adb, but you have to install it for both one in each mode. Hope you get what im saying.
yea
what driver should i be using?

The same one you used for the regular adb. If you dont have it still you can use these http://dinc.does-it.net/ADB/ADB_Drivers.zip

that still didint work i have been installing and uninstalling stuff since 6:00 am and i just cant seem to get my phone to get reconized in bootloader

Not sure, it has to be a driver issue on the pc. Try uninstalling all the drivers, and restarting from scratch. Install the driver with the phone on and booted, then install same driver while in hboot/fastboot. Mabey take a break and come back to it, if you stare at it too long you start becoming a zombie and make mistakes.
yea
that still didint work, i have the drivers all of the updats and i just cant get it to reconize it
Hi All
having a problem here, windows 7 detect my phone, but in Hansoon 2000 and launch the cmd Getvar All, cmd unable to detect my phone
FYI my phone was already rooted and s-off, i totally forget how i did it
Reason to use Hansoon 2000 is because i had downloaded the official Lollipop update (1.44GB Asia) but have no means and ways to flash it even with twrp build in.
There is not supersu and does not seems root after i have **** up the OS.
Hope anyone here can guide me step by step, i getting confuse after looking for information on google and on XDA forums

You shouldn't use toolkits. Are you s-off?
Yes S-off
xunholyx said:

Agreed. Why use a toolkit for what is accomplished with a single adb command? Toolkit just adds unnecessary complexity, and another point of potential failure.
Is the phone in recovery or booted into OS? getvar is an adb command, and adb only works under those conditions. Also, adb needs to be activated in the phone's settings.
hello guys
need yout help, tried searching google for sulotion but came up empty.
ive rooted the lg g4 h815(android 6.0-V20c-SEA) before via iroot pc but after factory reset its returned to be unrooted.
when i try to root again its keep failing because of debugging issue (the software keep telling me its not in debugging altough it is)
i think the problem is when i do usb debugging - connecting to pc the option is checked in the check box but it turns gray.whats the problem is? how can i fix it ?
thank you in advance
If you mean the USB debugging option is checked but gray when your phone is plugged in, that is normal, you cannot change that option when you're plugged in via usb.
I'm not familiar with iroot personally, I could take a look if you need though, but maybe revoke usb debugging authorizations through dev options then accept the pc's key fingerprint once again to "kickstart" iroot.
If you've rooted before through iroot on the same software version you're on now, it should work again without too much effort. Also maybe try switching to MTP (Media Sync) or PTP (Camera sync), or between the both until something happens.
That's all I can think of ATM, I'll probably go check out iroot right now, and think a little more and come back, but I wanted to give you a quick enough response. I wish you the best of luck though!
Edit: Forgot to mention that sometimes SuperSU may get uninstalled from factory reset, if the the G4 Factory Reset protocol deletes the system partition, and then reinstalls it, then this would explain why/if you lost root, I do not know if that's the protocol though. If iroot roots and injects SuperSU as the root manager, try reinstalling it possibly.. unless you are 100% positive you are somehow completely unrooted. (Use a root checker to check if you still got it)
I recommend wiping Data, Cache and Dalvik from TWRP next time, if that's not what you did this time. :good:

No problem at all, I really do hope to fix this for you. Are you on the same software version as you were when you first rooted?/Which version is that?
Another thing I thought of, is your computer. Is it the same one that you used the first time? Do you have full admin access on it? Do you have all the LG drivers on it?
Do you have ADB/Fastboot fully installed on it? Obviously these are the first things you probably think about when you think about root, but I'm just making sure nothing is slipping by, you know?
Depending on what software version you're on, maybe we should try another root method if nothing works.
The last thing I'd say is to backup all your data/internal and flash the firmware you want to root on, but I really don't think we need to go that far.
P.S. I own a VS986 (VZW version of the G4) so I can only go to certain extents to reproduce/"debug" the problem you are having. Keep me updated!

Sorry for forgetting the whole reason you're in this problem is because of a factory reset lol, of course you have your data backed up. And trust me, I understand about the brick, I really messed up my G3 2 years back. Thanks also for the device pictures, could you post a shot of "About Phone=>>Software Info". That would be great!
Funny thing I just did that same phone rotation thing very recently XD

Well, it seems that the factory reset must also have deleted the system partition, then reinstalled it with the most updated version.. which is not good for the current situation.
Notice Security Patch Level is "2016-01-01" and you're running Android M 6.0, means that the software you're on is very recent, if not the most recent. I did some looking around just now, but I couldn't turn up anything that achieved successful root on "V20c-SEA-XX", which is what you would need.
Technically you could try the stock firmware KDZ for your device, which should be 5.1.1, then flash it with like LGUP, but I seriously don't recommend that unless you find a thread that confirms a working downgrade from V20c-SEA, because if the qfuse does not match between firmware versions, you could easily end up with a hardbrick.
Here is the link to your stock firmware, in case you find that it is safe to downgrade from 20c-SEA to 10b-SEA:
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G4/H815/
You could try this: http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS
I'm not sure it will work, but I can't imagine it'd harm you, since it's LG official.
You could also try to fill the checkbox "OEM Unlock", and then try to unlock the bootloader via fastboot. I am not sure if this could possibly cause harm if it does not work properly, so try this at your own risk.: http://oneplus.wonderhowto.com/how-...all-custom-recovery-root-oneplus-one-0156099/ (It's all the same commands even though it says for OnePlus One device.

Your phone will reboot into the fastboot mode. Enter "fastboot oem device-id" in DOS command window."
it says failed to start daemon - error cannot connect to daemon.....
and i cant trace lg id.

Alright, so I guess it does have something to do with your adb. First off, check your Firewall, make sure you allow adb through and out your Firewall, also maybe temporarily disable your Antivirus whilst using adb, or allow a connection through it if you can. Try turning off USB Tethering through your G4. Try going to Task Manager and ending the adb process tree, it should then try to restart itself. Don't use a wireless adb connection.. if you were trying that, although I didn't think you were.
In "short" order,
1. I would firstly suggest allowing access through your firewall/antivirus, or really I would disable both for now just in case
2. Then try killing the adb process tree in Task Manager
3. Try the adb commands: "kill-server", "start-server"
4. Install any device driver you would possibly need
5. Reinstall adb and fastboot, maybe just install entire SDK-Tools package if you don't have it already
-- If adb is not recognizing your device, which is why you can't track your id, then you can simply enter "adb devices" and it will list your device whenever your error is fixed.
That's all I can think of ATM, I'll post this now but I'll still be thinking of other options. Let me know what happens. Fingers crossed.
(You are starting the command window in your adb directory right?)

Trust me, I understand your frustration, I'm going to make a guide for you in the next 6 hours or so.
Try a different computer if you can, I haven't had adb fail but many other tools sometimes work
on different computers for me. I've also heard "Dell PC Suite" should be uninstalled as it could cause adb hang ups,
if you have it. @htr5's guide might work for you if you have a software update available, I'm not sure though since it's not specifically for your device.
Regardless, I'm sure you will need to use adb soon, so we have to fix that.
I will try to make that guide asap, I obviously can only do so much, again, since I don't have your device, hopefully it will help though. I highly suggest trying on a fresh/different computer though.
Edit: Try USB 2.0 if you were using a 3.0 port (3.0 ports have the SS along with the usb "logo")
USB 2.0 is on the right:
"H815 SEA Root/General Guide"
@mikmikush
It does seem that you can treat your SEA device very similarly to the EU common version, in ways such as flashing KDZ's and rooting.
I cannot confirm this, but mentions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/safe-root-h815-v10b-sea-variant-t3184152 make it seem like it should be okay.
Aoi_sora9x said:
I'm a SEA variant holder here.
It's fine, you can use the Low Effort Root method. You can also flash the EU open KDZ without any problem.
You lose VoLTE, but to me it doesn't matter so I don't really care.
I'm running the latest 10E ATM, and it's much much better than 10B, so flash away.

Yes, that post is for v10b, but it should also work for v20d/v20c. (Not the Low Effort Root method) - You will be working with EU software v20d.. while you are with SEA v20c,
so it's up to you if you want to try this, but it's the closest I can come right now. Thank @htr5 because I believe he has all of this in his guide, and I'll probably send you to his guide halfway through.
You may lose some features or brick your device by flashing firmware/software made for other devices. Trust your instinct!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Install adb setup from here this includes necessary adb drivers, adb itself, and fastboot.
2. Install LG Mobile Driver
3. Download LGUP tool from here (This is for restoring your device to stock if you softbrick via KDZ)
Follow this thread if/when you need to.
4. Here contains a KDZ for EU v20C, which I'm 99.9% sure will match your current software, even though it says for EU.
5. Here contains every partition including the KDZ for 20d by @autoprime, which will be necessary if you decide to root from @htr5's guide (v20d Root Method)
6. Once again, try to unlock the bootloader officially through LG, if you are successful, you can follow @htr5's 20d Root Guide here
7. Be careful and let me know how it goes
@autoprime Mentions that there is "NO anti-rollback qfuse used in this update" (20d) so if you flash the 20d KDZ and it works, I believe you should then be able to downgrade successfully to an earlier firmware version - without worrying about qfuse - and root using a Lollipop (5.0/5.1) method if you can't get anywhere on Marshmallow (6.0). - This I'm not 100% positive about, again, but it is my thinking.
Please thank anyone I mentioned and anyone who's link I provided, they all deserve it!
Hello,
I bought a Fire HD 8 (2018) from ebay, but it gives me some headaches. There is almost nothing on it, no playstore (neither amazon nor google), no browser, only six basic apps like a calculator. And there is something called WebView Browser Tester. When I enter Recovery and do a factory reset it reverts to this exact stage. I was able to use adb to install VLC Player but it acts a little strange. But when I install Google Playstore (+ Framework, Account Manager, Services) it will crash. Rebooting after that will end in a bootloop, that can only be broken by several attempts trying to get into recovery and do a reset.
So, I think this device once belonged to a developer. It also identifies itself as "kayak" in recovery menu. So I assumed it was unlocked at some point. But when I try to use fastboot to flash it, it states "locked hw". ADB sideload is not available.
I don't know what to do right now. I spend last night doing research without much success. Pretty much all Unlock-Tutorials assume that you are on stock firmware, and the ones for getting back to stock assume you have twrp installed which is also not the case here.
Hope somebody can help me getting this thing working again.
Thanks in advance,
Scoop
Can you unlock the BL
Well, I'm not quite sure how to do that. I only started to dive into the topic by yesterday. Do I have to setup a linux system to do that or is there another way?
Bro…. What are you trying to do if you did not unlock the BootLoader. Just follow a normal guide. Google.
Google brought me here ^^ I wanted to aks if there is en easier way to unlock it then opening it up and setting up a linux boot drive, given that the device has clearly been tinkered with before. I thought, it might be a "known" custom rom that has been to it flashed before. Just trying not to brick it...
But thanks for your answer.
I meant using fast boot….
Now you got me confused. I'm really sorry, but could you be a bit more specific? When I try to use the unlock command I'm always getting the error "the command you input is restricted on locked hw".

do these (not at the same time, wait to boot into bootloader then do second and third cmd)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot reboot
That's exactly what I did. I also tried fastboot oem unlock instead of fast flashing unlock. But I'm always getting the same error "command restricted on locked hw".
I read on some site that "OEM unlock" must be enabled in developer options to have this working, but there is no such option.
ohhhhhh. Then your device is not unlockable.
I managed to unlock it via the hardware mod, but I'm stuck after that. It won't boot into recovery. Is there a way to flash the firmware just with fastboot access?

If you did the hardware unlock all the way through, you should have TWRP recovery. From that you can flash anything.

Can you message me in Telegram?
Have you had any success?
I have the exact same issue, and this is pretty much the only topic that shows up when searching "Kayak".
Fire Toolbox v30.3 doesn't like it either
'Codename "kayak" isn't supported/recognized by the Toolbox. Please plug in a supported Fire tablet and try again.'
