Got 2 Canadian Gnex's, flashed one to Yakju but couldn't flash the other

Hey everyone, I need some help. I flashed my Gnex to Yakju a few months ago using the official drivers and Android SDK with no problem. A friend of mine recently bought a Gnex and asked me to flash his phone. For some reason -fastboot devices couldn't recognize his phone when connected to the same computer that I used to flash my own Gnex. I can't unlock his bootloader as a result. I tried again with my own Gnex and my computer was able to recognize my phone. What did I do wrong?

Try reinstalling the drivers.
The same problem happened to me when I was trying to flash my friends Xoom.
I reinstalled the drivers and it located the device.

You used the command 'fastboot devices' when you loaded the phone into the bootloader mode? Cause if you're in the android OS, you need to use 'adb devices' (assuming you enabled debugging under developer options)

I should try that. Do I need to uninstall the old drivers first?

Ya it was in bootloader mode. I forgot to mention that when my friend's phone was in the Android OS, "adb devices" worked and my computer recognized his phone. So strange.

I have always said that the "official" drivers are flaky at best. You should really use 1wayjonny's package.

Reinstalling stock recovery - help requested

So as will be immediately obvious, I am new to posting on this site and I'm sure the title will explain why. Before I start, I was using (the 'was' will be explained later) a rooted stock ROM and I had not backed it up (the instructions I used forgot to mention it).
The 2.17 HOX OTA update was finally released by three (I'm currently on 1.28) and I hoped that this update would fix several problems I've been having (standard HOX problems like battery life, camera quality, lag, and an ever growing system data). So I was fairly desperate to install this update, but when I tried clockwork recovery told me that it failed, and by using google I discovered that I'm not the only one with this problem.
This where I get stupid. In desperation to install this update I found that SuperSu has an option to full unroot and I hoped that this would reinstall the stock recovery in the process, but now I am left with an unrooted phone with clockwork recovery installed.
If anyone can help me reinstall the stock recovery so I can install this update I'd very much appreciate it. I apologise if I was long winded, I just felt it better to try and explain the whole situation.

I'm not sure what's stopping you from installing the stock recovery?

Thanks for replying. I'm not very knowledgeable at this so I'm not sure how to, and would I need to use a computer or can I do it directly on my phone?

No I don't think so, can I download it? Should I already have it, and if so where would it be?

You need to install Android SDK on the PC you want to do this on.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Update/install everything on it once installed.
Then you can begin.

I have just successfully reinstalled the stock recovery, and although I am very grateful for your help, you forgot to mention the next step which was to type "fastboot oem lock" on command prompt.
Thanks again!

I would have done had you kept your ongoing progress posted.
But guess you figured it out yourself, congrats.

Need help unlocking HTC one X Plus..

Some of you may have read my thread a few days ago about me having problems pushing the unlock code into my htc one x well I took that back and exchanged it for the plus
model and I am still in the same boat it says cannot load the unlock code bin file, could it be that my windows 8 just won't allow it to run properly ? Has anyone else unlocked a android device successfully with win 8?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Ok I just tried doing this on a windows vista is and it still comes up cannot load file...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I had problems with Win 8 too. Vista I have never tried.
What you could try is deleting all your htc and phone drives from your computer. Not just run the unninstaller but also remove them from device manager. Then reboot. Then plug your phone back in and let windows install the drivers again.

Ok... Has anyone on a telus htc one x plus unlocked theirs yet?

Can someone help me I am getting extermly frusterated I have tried two diff OSs maybe ADB is not installing right I don't know..
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

windows 8 works fine, don't know your problem.
Just try:
- Install HTC Sync,
- then install Android SDK with fastboot and ADB,
- then flash Unlock_code.bin
Unlock_code.bin should be 256 bytes in size.

[Q] Would Like Help With Rooting E973 ICS/No OTA JB

I bought the phone new/used from Craigslist. It was a Telus phone and I unlocked it. I've attempted to root it using a guide on here. I'm just looking for a little bit of assistance. I'm also wondering why I am unable to receive OTA JB update. I'm on Bell and in Canada.

Thank you. Yes this is the guide I was following. I have downloaded lg united drivers and android sdk. I run the command bat and it goes through all the steps incredibly quickly. It says it's rooted but I don't have root access.

It seems android sdk is not installed properly. It downloaded and extracted for probably 10 mins using winrar. I believe that is the problem but I'm not sure. I'll give it a go and see what happens. Thanks

Hey,
Hopefully you guys can give me some help with the problem ive been having,
My nexus 5 is stuck in bootloop, i can get into the bootloader and the lockstate is unlocked but no custom recovery is appearing like it used to. I tried flashing using ADB but my phone doesn't show up as a device on my pc.
i have tried to wipe the cache ect and it comes up with "E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
I only really know the basics of this stuff (only ever used the basic stuff to root and flash my phone)

Sounds like debugging is not enabled.

Does anything come up when you type "fastboot devices" while your connected in bootloader/fastboot mode?

That's only necessary for ADB when booted into Android. Not required when using it from recovery. Anyway, that's irrelevant. The op should be using fastboot in bootloader mode.

You should be using fastboot then. I suspect you were, but like so many, erroneously called it ADB.

You need to take Android 101 again. ADB doesn't work when in the bootloader. It works when booted and in recovery.
There are a few potential fixes and a for-damn-sure one. Were you an a custom rom when the bootloop occurred? Rooted stock? More info please...

Rooted stock, but for some reason the custom recovery isn't there anymore either

So if I were you I'd download the latest factory images from HERE. Unzip bullhead-mhc19q-factory-22ba5e5a.tgz (or whatever the name is). Then remove the -w from the flash-all.bat file located in the unziped folder. Then execute the flash-all.bat to reflash the factory images without wiping data. Have fun.

I don't think that works.
I also have the same problem and when I do that, it errors as "FAILED (remote: device is locked. Cannot flash images)"
Is there a way to unlock bricked device??

You are not in the same situation. Your bootloader is locked. Before anyone can help you, you need to provide more information about your sh!tuation.
