Through my experience of the issue I had, it would give you the access error due to the security warning but it could be a different problem but as you said above give it a go and let me know buddy.

It might be a silly question, but how to run the bat? I keep the phone in USB fastboot and Irun it?

Just drag the .BAT file into where the fastboot location is, Run the .BAT with the phone plugged in and it should repeatedly reboot with the cmd window open on the desktop.

Hi there! Tried the bat file thing, it reboots many times, no security warning, but after, when I try to flash the unlock token, still access denied.

If you turn the phone on without charging it or having a cable connected, just below the REUNLOCKED word at the top of the Hboot does it say ** Security warning **?

Hm sorry Manic it's out of my hands, I can't think of a reason why it spit that error out.
Fingers crossed someone will be able to help you out I am sure they will they are good guys on here!

It's great you took the effort!!! Thanks a bunch man!

You are more than welcome, one last thing you can try is Follow the procedure of getting the UNLOCK-CODE.BIN via the DEV site by copy all that text on the DEV site and see if it will accept that at all.

Please forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere, i searched but what little i found didnt seem to helpful (maybe im just confused) i want to flash the new Viper rom but it says i need 4.4.4 firmware, my rooted htc only has 4.4.2. How do i update it? I am scared of bricking my new phone so could someone please explain it to me like i am stupid? I used the all_in_one_toolkit (wonderful program!) If it matters..... also i flashed twrp cause there was no OTA att update found (checked twice)

1) Mods won't like you posting a question in the Dev thread... there are specific sections (general, firmware, etc) where you can post it...
2)Considering that your phone is practically new, if you only rooted it and haven't installed a custom recovery, you will be able to update your firmare (OTA) through the built in upgrade process on your phone. Once, that is done, root your phone and install a custom recovery like TWRP.
good luck

Yes, I sure do.
First of all, if you want the newest ViperOne, you'll want 5.0.1 firmware, at least.
Hook up to you PC. Get into ADB/fastboot, and issue the command fastboot getvar all.
Post the readout here, and I, or someone else, will point you in the proper direction to update your firmware.
Please make sure to delete the serial# and IMEI from the readout. Never post those in a public forum.

Have you never used ADB or fastboot before?
Okay. This will update your firmware. Backup anything important to you, because this will wipe your phone.
Go here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-att/news/
Scroll down to where it says "Manual system update instructions". Read what it says, then click the download link at the bottom.

Not by itself, i dont think so anyways... I just followed a youtube vid on how to use the all-in-one-tool kit program... I figured less room for error risk?
Thank you for the link! Will have to reroot and unlock it after the update and stuff like that?

Yes, but that's easy. Unlock your bootloader, flash TWRP, and flash a rooted ROM, such as ViperOne.
Also, I recommend not using one click toolkit methods. They often cause problems, plus doing it manually is easy and gives you an introduction to ADB and fastboot, making it less intimidating.

I don't know how to do it manually =( last time I tried I hard bricked my m7

You need to re-lock your bootloader first if you are not S-Off.
Get back into fastboot and do fastboot oem lock, then leave your phone connected, and run the RUU again.

I don't know.
Maybe you don't have the drivers installed on your PC.
Go to Device Manager with your phone connected. You should see that your M8 is connected.
If you don't see it in Device Manager, download HTC Sync Manager and run it to install the drivers. After that, uninstall HTC Sync. It doesn't play nice with ADB and fastboot. The drivers will remain.
Then go to Device Manager and confirm that your phone is listed there when connected..

I really don't know what's going on here.
I do know that if you were to go S-Off, updating your firmware is a piece of cake. You just need to find the firmware.zip and flash it.

After i unlocked the Bootloader on my phone i tried to flash it with a custom recovery . that failed and now my phone stucks on a black screen with a HTC logo and the following text:
Security Warning
If you flash this phone with any Rom
that was not officially released by HTC
you take the risk of
releasing your personal and financial information to unknown sources.
I cant do anything now : reboot doesnt work and i cant connect it with the computer. I cant even turn it off . Its been like that for around 5 hours now.

This MAY brick your phone. DO NOT USE you can unbrick with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256

OP be careful of what you do to your device. I would research it more before jumping into anything, because you do have a potential to brick the device.
Thanks

Why return to 5.0 só fast...is more easy wait for oficial ota of 6.0.1 and do adb sideload!

I want to downgrade as well, I've found several guides, but I'm afraid I'll brick my phone.
I saw in one place that sideloading the stock 5.0 firmware from the asus website could work... would this be a valid solution? Would it be as simple as sideload with adb the stock 5.0 firmware, if I'm in the 6.0 already?

Hi, I do not speak English very well, but I'll try.
First go to the website of Asus, and download the firmware .. 184 or this link (http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Ze...user.zip?_ga=1.147549438.850793534.1463019251) and put the external SD Card!!!
NOTE: If your bootloader is similar to the image (with the blue letters ..), you just need to step 3 of this my turorial
ht*tp://www*androidheadlines*com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/asus-zenfone-2-google-howto-1.jpg (remove "*" again^^)
1. Go to this page (https://www.techmesto.com/root-zenfone-2/) and follow the steps of the second method..
1.1 Download Z00A_WW_2.20.40.184 version (https://mega.co.nz/#F!k4MHiAgL!dVuOKeH3eokcwPSNI79ffw)
1.2 Download and extract FlashTools (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3301263&d=1431011927)
1.3 Extract Z00A_WW_2.20.40.184_system_w_root.zip (for step 1.1) and put the "system.img" in the folder of FlashTools together with "boot.img", "droidboot.img" and "recovery.img"
2. Now follow the steps of the second method (https://www.techmesto.com/root-zenfone-2/), from step 7 to 11;
3. Also I was stuck in the bootloader after this procedure... BUT, you need to download this file (the first method): http://www.mediafire.com/download/v6m7n9j0gqins9b/CWM_Zenfone_2_Intel.zip;
3.1 And follow the steps from 1 to 9 (the first method): https://www.techmesto.com/root-zenfone-2/... EXCEPT: The steps include the root (you do not need the root ..)
3.2 When you are already in CWM recovery, only install the firmware 184 (of start.. of Asus) which is in the external SD Card ... and end ^^.
3.3 I recommend wipe data / factory after starting the device first time...

Bootloop is normal as seen on the tutorial.
I think that's normal since Asus will replace their default mail app to Gmail once MM final is release. same goes for my phone, Asus Mail doesn't come preinstalled.

Wasted two hours trying to figure how to combine the .bin files into system.img file and still didn't find it.

Question Fastbook flashing unlock not recognized?

Hi guys, I'm stucked at this weird problem, basically when I type that command, fastboot reply with the list of options, like the command itself doesn't exist. Funny things is, to confirm it should work, I've tried to launch it with the device connected but not in fastboot, and it says "waiting for device" so the command actual exists.
I've tried so far: dl the last adb sdb from the official page
put the phone through fastboot using adb fastboot devices (it works)
launch the command: nothing works
This is hmm my 4th? Oneplus, so isn't like I'm new to unlock bootloaders but now I'm stucked, any ideas?
Of course OEM debug is on and also OEM unlock
ps.: I've also tried the old command but no resuts

Ty, I've done it properly but sadly, I'm in the loop now, because following the guide to unlock:
because of the mismatch of the step 3 (which stated correctly I guess, "init_boot", and the pic, I've wrote boot instead of init_boot and flashed the patched magisk file to the boot.
Do you know/have where find the correct boot file to patch it back? My model is the CPH2449 A09 BA (europe) for what I remember...
Or, what guide can I follow withouth worst the situation... For now, I can still enter in the fastboot mode

If you flash init_boot to boot, it will hard brick your device. If you can't access fastboot now, then only way to recover is using MSM tool.

Yes.. this method just needs booting and no hard flash. Also unlock bootloader and try setting passcode or patern before you copy data. If you can't set pattern, then relock and unlock bootloader till possible.

hey, did you perhaps found a way to fix fingerprint/passwords not working too? I guess that it is broken because I had one before unlocking it...so maybe locking it back, removing old one (if works) and unocking again, could work but...I'm still trying to figure out how to lock it back...maybe with enhanced tools... any ideas? Maybe I'm overthinking?

Only is to fix phone lock issue is by relocking bootloader and unlocking it till it works. This must be done only if not rooted. No other method was found till now.

I've tried at least 5+ times, nothing. I've read first we need to flash stock then lock again, but idk how to flash stock frankly....now desperately I'm flashing it through enhanced fastboot tool, even if a guide said to avoid cuz some op10R got bricked... let's see....
