Windows, linux? Have you made sure fastboot and adb is working? Is your computer recognizing your phone? Have you installed the drivers?

yeah i have been working with android and HTC for quite a while. i have everything set up properly. no htc sync, adb and sdk are installed. running windows 7 ultimate stripped down made specifically for android development. java and eclipse are all up to date and everything else is running just fine. rooted my note 2 and HTC one from this computer not even a week ago. no changes have been made since.

i did a dna,and despite the phone being recognized reliably in the command window in both adb and fastboot,i had this exact same issue with the windows tool.

booted up my ubuntu live cd,and the tool worked on the first try.

so if you were using windows,make yourself a live ubuntu cd,or find someone with it natively installed. windows is slow,and requires finicky drivers, linux is a much better OS for phone modding.

I got this issue because I had my antivirus enabled. You may want to try disabling that.

    Please see this safer/easier/faster method instead of using the one below http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36976137#post36976137







    Original guide provided below for historial purposesonly, seriously use hte one above:

    Please refrain from repackaging, or rehosting my materials, ask prior to deciding to.

    If this guide fails, or the auto script (which I will not recommend you use) fails, please do a factory reset before attempting again.

    If you appreciate this, please make sure you check out my original article on the AndroidPolice. Without the support of AP, I wouldn't spend nearly as much time doing this. To the bloggers who will chose to link to a forum post, rather than the original post on a better blog, you suck.

    http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/11/24/exclusive-how-to-unlock-the-droid-dnas-bootloader/

    Donations for new test devices can be made at the paypal link to the left. I reserve the right to send leftover funds to whatever charities I feel like. Generally I choose Boys and Girls club of america, sometimes I choose seasonal charity, or a medical related one.

    Known Problems:
    Adb server is out of date
    Uninstall HTC Sync, Samsung Kies, etc any software that talks to the phone.

    If you get stuck, please immediately find someone in our chat that knows what they are doing. It is very easy to brick your phone if you follow these directions incorrectly, or if a problem arises!

    Original development: jcase
    Awesome saver of the day: Sean Beaupre
    Crash test dummy: dsb9938 (I bricked his phone making this!)
    Artem and all @AndroidPolice for putting up with my nonsense.
    Special thanks to Fuses for recommending a better target, and the numerous testers that let me play with their new phones.

    Warning: This is semi complicated, and is known to ruin phones if done incorrectly. Proceed at your own risk


    Needed:
    1gb free space on the phone.
    Working adb, must support the adb restore feature (ICS and up!)

    Downloads:
    backup.ab (300mb) mirrors: http://d-h.st/tau - http://depositfiles.com/files/9c61r4lgo - http://www.filefactory.com/file/2va8yp2i1h99/n/backup.ab

    DNA_TeamAndIRC mirrors - http://d-h.st/D4r - http://www.putlocker.com/file/F357F205F5235B3D - http://rapidgator.net/file/59342799/DNA_TeamAndIRC.zip.html


    Unzip DNA_TeamAndIRC, put runme.sh, CIDGen.apk and backup.ab into the directory where adb is (or anywhere if you have your paths setup right).

    Please Check the readme.txt before continuing!

    Code: 
    adb install CIDGen.apk

    Run the CIDGen app on your phone, enter the last digit of your IMEI (NOT YOUR MEID) and press generate. Then confirm the generated file exists.

    Code: 
    adb shell ls -l /sdcard/CIDBLOCK.img

    If CIDBLOCK.img does not exist, run the app and try again. Do not proceed without generating a CIDBLOCK.img, it is needed to repair the phone and unlock.

    Once you have CIDBLOCK.img on your sdcard, open two terminals (command prompts) and continue

    In the first terminal/cmd prompt run these commands:

    Code: 
    adb push runme.sh /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/runme.sh
adb shell /data/local/tmp/runme.sh

    runme.sh will continue to loop and spit out No such file or link failed errors, just leave it running for now.

    In the other terminal/cmd prompt run this commands:

    Code: 
    adb restore backup.ab

    Then allow the restore on your phone. Once the process is finished, you can go back to the looping terminal and stop it with control + c, or close the terminal

    At this point, do not continue unless you are certain you can do this. Past this point, is where people can brick if they do not follow the directions correctly. If you run into a problem, find someone to help you. Do NOT power your phone off or reboot it. Leave it charging and find someone.

    Code: 
    adb shell rm /data/data/com.htc.usage/files/exploit/*
adb shell mv /data/DxDrm /data/DxDrm_org
adb shell mkdir /data/DxDrm
adb shell ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /data/DxDrm/DxSecureDB
adb reboot

    Once the phone is rebooted, open two terminals and repeat the restore exploit:

    In the first one:
    Code: 
    adb shell /data/local/tmp/runme.sh

    This process will also loop forever and give out lots of "No such file" or "link failed" errors - again, just leave it running.

    In the second terminal, restore the backup again:

    Code: 
    adb restore backup.ab

    After the restore is done, we will undo the DxDrm symlink attack and write the new CIDBLOCK.img:

    Code: 
    adb shell mv /data/DxDrm /data/DxDrm_trash
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/CIDBLOCK.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

    If this returns an "out of space error" come to our chat, and find either jcase or beaups. Do not reboot. Do not continue.

    Code: 
    adb reboot

    After reboot, you can go to http://HTCDev.com, and unlock through their official process. Choose the "All other supported models" option when selecting your phone.


    Cheers!

    I cannot speak for everyone, but it is the time of year when lots of people are off the computer and being with family.

    If you should encounter problems while doing this between now and the new year, I do not know if you will be able to find help in the chat.

    Just putting that out there.

    If anyone is sketchy about this, you can check out my channel for a video on How To. If its good, then someone can put it in the OP.

    Worked no problem for me. Not "ADB" problems. I'm using Windows 8.
