[Q] Please help me unlock my HTC desire 816w bootloader - Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys..
A few days ago I have bought a Chinese HTC desire 816w, it comes with sense 5.5 so I decided to flash a new rom for it, but I'm stuck in unlocking the bootloader, I'm following the steps provided in htcdev.com and everything was fine till I reached the command "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" and when I write this command and press enter only this message appears ... (the three dots are the response from CMD) and after that nothing happens and cmd doesn't allow me to write anything more, please help, me I can't live with a locked bootloader.
Note: I have installed all the correct drivers and I have Google SDK and i use windows 8.1 (and tried once on windows 7) so I guess everything seem to be fine I don't know what's the problem
Note 2: when I try to go to Hboot (volume down+power) I get a totally different screen from the one supposed to appear and it is written in Chinese.
Guys Please hep me I have spent the last 2 days trying to figure this out.
Thank you so much

When on XDA I assume you selected "HTC One" as the model? Also, you have the fastboot command line open but when you go to the bootloader are you presented with two options that the volume keys can move on or are there more than two with each selection a different color?
When you enter the bootloader;
- your in hboot mode
- pressing the power button once will enter fastboot
- then you run the get token command
- get the code
- send it to htcdev
- get the file from email
- drop it in the adb folder " platform-tools "
- run the command to flash it then type " adb reboot fastboot " or press volume down 3 times and press power button.
If the bootloader has two options only on the main screen it should be either "fastboot / recovery" listed or "yes / no".
This should work, let me know how it goes.
If possible take a picture of your bootloader screen.
Also, if it says " Uboot"; its a fake HTC device.

The thing is, that when I'm trying to get into the bootloader by the official way (Power + vol down) I get a different screen from the "supoosed to be" Hboot screen it's written in chinese in other words, it's not the Hboot screen I saw on many tutorials, I have translated what is written on the chinese "hboot screen" and it appears to be a page to test if the components of the device are working properly and this is the only page I get from pressing vol down+ power,so I couldn't do anything but to enter the fastboot mode by the ADB command "ADB reboot bootloader" and only after that i get into the fastboot mode, but I got the same error while trying to get the identifier token..
I have attached a photo for the "chinese hboot" screen that appears when I press (vol down+power) and a photo for the error I get when I try to get the identifier token
I guess my device is either fake (hope not) or modified.. if it is modified is there anyway to install the HTC Hboot on it?
Thank you

The only thing I can recommend to you is that you try adb reboot fastboot and to make sure that fastboot is unchecked in the options of the device. If you cannot access the code after these options then I'm afraid to say your device is fake. Not only that but due to current limitations on this specific device, there is no way to flash a completely different bootloader. Besides; as for HTC - all are the same/similar in layout, just language modified.
You could try to click each one of those options and hopefully you'll come across the bootloader. You never know maybe that's just an extra menu; although, I highly doubt it.
Sorry

Did you solve the problem? I just bought a htc 816w and have the same problem now.

From looking at that second screen shot, it looks like the recovery, not fastboot. Fastboot should have a white background(at least it does on mine), while recovery has the dark background. Also, fastboot should have some info at the top of the screen and commands close to the middle, while recovery only at the top of the screen. Try the advice given above, go to settings-power and make sure Fast Boot is unchecked. Go to About in Settings, then Software Information, select More and tap on Build number until Devloper Options are enabled. In Developer Options, check the USB Debugging option. Now plug it into your PC and try the command
adb reboot bootloader
That should get you into fastboot. Then you can contnue with unlock commands.

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 ..

What can I do?
Thanks in advance

Hello ..

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 .

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

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 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..

you don't need HTC sync to do that...just download SDK from here.. and placed in C:\ drive on your pc.
then you continued to step :
1. download your hboot update from here..
2. after you already download your hboot.. running that exe file until next to second step..now you must hold at this point..don't close this..let open
3. open explorer then search the rom.zip file under C:\Users\"your username"\AppData\Local\Temp\ "you will see a lot of folder like this {5917E83E-C23B-491F-9D62-6AB7E6E87DC6} and you must try looking one by one by open it and see there is a file dotnetinstaller.exe inside that folder and had a folder like before too {5917E83E-C23B-491F-9D62-6AB7E6E87DC6}..then open it again that folder..now you can find the rom.zip file in there"
4. copying that rom.zip file to your SDK under platform-tools folder..and turn on your phone again with pressing and hold volume down+power until get inside bootloader then select FASTBOOT mode

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!

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

I can't
I have an error installing a ROM, partition x not allowed.
I can't go in recovery mode + I can't open my phone to enable usb debugging.
I don't have root & and I don't have my OEM unlocked.
How can I install my ROM for Asus Zenfone GO ZC500TG? :'( :'(
Anyone, please?!!
ADB devices allowed?
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

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)
