(SOLVED) Hi folks. I swapped my Nexus with my sons due to him having a broken usb , wireless charging is ok but I am stuck with 4.4.4.
I have root but need a TWRP to be able to get Nougat running so obviously i need an unlocked bootloader. Is there anyway to unlock it through wifi or something like that or is a new USB connector the only option?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT : used boot unlocker from PLAY to unlock and then TWRP manager to install recovery. Everything seems fine.

Hi guys,
Do anyone know how to do this as my USB seems like no reaction to data transfer and fastboot in bootloader. PC can't detect the hardware at all and i have tried on few laptops and different cable. I also tried the POGO connector but no function at all. I found this:
rootzwiki.com/topic/19864-vzwsprintgsmguide-ultimate-galaxy-nexus-guide-unlockrootflash-romsfaq/page__st__40#entry759280
but it is for Galaxy Nexus.
Do anyone face this before and i need to re-lock back to original ROM and recovery.img in order to claim the warranty on repairing the USB port.
Not sure whether is motherboard problem or the driver inside the phone corrupted by the custom ROM.
Or does anyone know how to enable back the USB by reinstall the USB driver in the phone?
Really need someone expert in Android to help me...
Thanks & Regards,
Aniki
there's no way to lock the phone without USB access, without USB you can't do anything... you should send the phone to HTC and ask for a replacement
i won't sent back because my phone is unlocked and flashed with MIUI V5 3.5.10. They said warranty is void but i already write an email to HTC Global to check what is cover when i unlock the phone. I think this is hardware failure, should not cause by software. They might erase my phone and without USB access, my phone might brick because of that. I saw many HOX user facing USB failure problem in around the world but no one solve the problem. Someone expert should look into the link that i show and come out with a way that can be done with USB access to re-lock and flash back the recovery. Android is just like a computer and there should be some way to manually flash to stock recovery and lock the oem lock.

if the problem is HW related then they should repair it... you warranty is not completely voided
Hi, I just have a simple question. I unlocked my boot loader using the HTC dev tool the day I got the phone. My micro usb port is broken, and my phone is under warranty, however after talking to HTC they say my phone’s boot loader is unlocked. It shows in their system. Is there any way to change that? Relocking my boot loader probably won’t help will it? They say I will not be able to get my micro usb port changed for free even though it is under warranty ($200-$320 cost). If anyone has any suggestions, thanks a lot!
I have a Nexus 7 2013 on 6.0.1 w/ a broken USB port and an unlocked bootloader. I want to root and install TWRP but I can't find a method out there that would work without a PC
I tried TowelRoot , nope. KingRoot, no.
Anyone have any suggestions?
You will need a bootloader that supports fastboot over wifi. Till now I don't knew any bootloader that supports it.
Here is an article

You can't unlock it without PC neither to install TWRP. First you need to bind your Mi account to phone then to proceed with Xiaomi unlocking tool. Currently they give authorization to unlock after 360 hours following the 1 step.
