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.

Have you tried just using a Root Toolkit, they are so simple and extremely useful.
I have already downloaded it but i don't know how to use it.

greetings! i forgot, it was not necessary to unlock bootloader to update to b125 nor b510, just the dload method
A step in the root method is to download a rooter .img, then boot to download mode and enter a few commands, but it 'FAIL's everytime I try to check the id. I have the port right, I have all the drivers, etc, but it keeps failing no matter how many times I do it.
Anyone got any help at all? Having Marshmallow won't affect it, right
potential solution

I found fastboot can boot into twrp and then root from there

if you are tring to root phone that has bootloader locked . by flashing rootedsystem.img... then yes it doesnt work on MM you must be on Lp .. it only works onlollipop... and you need to know if you can downgrade first. cause on mine tmobile thers antiroll back V2 and V3 so V2 LP10n and MM20i the same but new 20oMM if i upgrade and then i want to downgrade ill brick phone.. so ask first what antirollback version you are on.. and if you could downgrade
hi everyone, add me to the list of idiots that shouldn't be doing things like this...
i bought an xtc2clip and should have stopped there, without using it. i had trouble writing files to the chip through their software (latest 1.18). but while poking around, i got s-off. so far so good. when i tried to copy the files over to unlock the bootloader, it kept giving me an error, so i gave up on the xtc2clip (yes, i changed the ribbon cable many times...).
so just after getting s-off, i was able to install TWRP through fastboot. keep in mind, my phone was still s-off, but bootloader locked. i booted TWRP several times just to check things out... all seemed OK.
i then installed SuperSU, using TWRP. i downloaded the 2.46 zip, placed it on my SD card and installed from within TWRP.
i rebooted, and the phone hung on the red verizon screen... i left it like that for at least ten minutes. i was able to reboot through adb, but it never progressed beyond the red verizon screen.
i did some reading, and found other users in a similar state flashed a new ROM to get around that. i then flashed adnybones' Stock Deodexed *Official* -- 3.10.605.7 i found here on XDA.
now - my phone had updated to the latest firmware - so per andybones' instructions, i flashed the 3.10.605.7 linked from his howto.
the flash went OK. i installed the ROM, that seemed to go OK. i rebooted and observed different boot animation - that was a good sign. then the phone hung for over 10 minutes again, never loading the OS.
now, i can reboot to fastboot or download, but cannot boot the OS. the phone goes immediately to fastboot, and will not boot to recovery. it will boot to download, but not recovery...
so i can't get into TWRP and i can't get into the OS.
help?!?!??!?
I have actually used the clip to s-off a VZW M9. It wasn't able to unlock the bootloader at the time, but I was able to flash TWRP and install SU on the stock OS. I then used the shell command to unlock the bootloader.
You stated that your bootloader was never unlocked, and you flashed a custom rom. If that is the case then you need to unlock the bootloader and reflash your custom rom. You will probably need to flash the same VZW stock rom you had prior to flashing a custom rom.
Here is the link to unlocking the bootloader if you are s-off:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3092036
[how to] lock/unlock your bootloader without htcdev(s-off required)
Doesn't the clip now support unlocking VZW M9? Update the xtc software and try again maybe?
If not you will need to flash a stock rom, install SU, and follow the instructions from the link above for unlocking. Once you are unlocked you can start flashing roms.
This is all based on the assumption that your bootloader is locked.
If I misunderstood or you are actually unlocked and forgot to mention it, please disregard everything above.

the xtc2clip has two methods to unlock the bootloader. neither will work for me... the "bootloader unlock" tab throws an error when i try to copy the files over the the sd card (i've tried multiple cables and repeated many, many times - something isn't right with this hardware). the newer method, in the "special unlock" tab appears to work, but my phone did nothing after booting with the card installed. and yes, i've seen the other discussions, videos and pics of how to install the sd card. i was able to verify the phone sees the card in the OS, and i'm using the sdcard cradle that came with the phone.
the bootloader status consistently read *** LOCKED *** - so there is no doubt about it.

yes - the problem is that i need root in order to follow those... the problem started after flashing SuperSU. i cannot follow that guide unless i have SU working and an adb shell open to the phone. installing SuperSU is what landed my in fastboot-only land.

xtc2clip says it does, and i'm certain people can use it to do so... but i've only gotten errors when it tries to write to the sd card. i have manually copied files to the sdcard in the xtc2clip - that's how i got s-off and supercid. i've had nothing but problems trying to use the xtc2clip, and now with s-off, i'm hoping there is a simpler way to do this through adb / fastboot shell. is there?

yeah - that's all correct. bootloader is locked, s-off, will boot only to fastboot.
where is the original ROM that came with this phone?? i'll try reflashing that...

well... i did everything to the letter, and the phone doesn't install the image. in download mode, the phone displays a message at the bottom that the sd card isn't mounted. i tried to check the sd card from within download mode, and it displayed something about smart sd card not found, or something similar.
the sd card is formatted exFat, so maybe i need to format it fat32? it's a 128gb card, i can try again with an 8gb fat32, but i thought exFat was supported...
for the record, i did everything to the letter - even copied the file name from the site to avoid typoing the name... it's a zero, not an O, that sort of thing.
i'll post more information when i have time.
any other help??

Mr Troop, you're a life saver - thank you very much.
Now if I may be a pest, how do i unlock the bootloader? I keep finding this howto:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/how-to-lock-unlock-bootloader-htcdevs-t3092036
which is what c5satellite2 pointed me too as well, but this won't work for me since i don't have working SU.
it seems like i need root to unlock the bootloader, but i need to unlock the bootloader (apparently) to get SU...
i have read about 50 different threads spanning the last year+, and I'm not having a lot of luck...
your help is greatly appreciated!

right! that's the whole problem. verizon has locked the bootloader, and HTC isn't unlocking verizon phones...
this is killing me. i pay hundreds of dollars for a product, and it's loaded with their bloatware and i can't run an adblocker???

HTC does not allow devices with a Verizon CID to be unlocked.
Your S-Off, You would need a way to switch to superCID (or any other nonVerizon CID) in order to oem unlock.
but not 100% sure so i would leave it and do some research check back tomorrow :good:
I was able to write the super cid, but I can't get the device string ........ Adb barfs, because oem unlocking can't be enabled.
Edit: n/m, saw you tried this already.
I know there's a way to do this, but you'll have better luck asking in the Verizon M9 forums. Many, many people have unlocked their bootloaders, HTC and Verizon notwithstanding.

From what I can recall, I did exactly that. Installed twrp, and had it install su. Then I unlocked boot loader. It doesn't make sense, but it worked.

Twrp 2.9.0.1 and supersu 2.65. Only that combo seems to work. That is how mine and many others are set up.
Htcdev to unlock bootloader but you need oem unlocking ticked in the rom.
If adb doesn't work its because you dont have usb debugging enabled in the rom. You only have fastboot access for now. But thats ok because thats all you need to flash twrp 2.9.0.1 and supersu 2.65.
