Step 1 | Pre-requisites:

Be on the Stock RUU and be rooted (have superuser flashed). No other ROMs are supported, Fresh ROM will not work regardless of what you have read elsewhere.


How am i suppose to have it roooted with superuser flashed...?


nvm it said exception but... i did parts of it and then i ran controlbear exe
and its comming out like

Waiting ADB.... (41/60)ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *

Waiting ADB.... (60/60)
Test 2: Booting FAILED
Reboot device manually
Reboot command failed!!

do you have adb and fastboot files installed?(sdk tools)
if yes go to the folder where you have adb and fastboot
put there the unlock token.bin code
open the command window there and then do the command

C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.154s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)
finished. total time: 0.167s

C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>

still not working...

make sure that you have htc sync and htc drivers installed

Hi,

Windows 7 & 8 drivers are HERE

Sometimes it takes more than one go.
Keep trying.

 

[anthonyly]

I thought you're supposed to un install htc sync... Okay I'll try again

Hi,

Plug the phone into the USB socket.
On the PC ,go to Device Manager.
Right click Either the "Android" or the MyHTC ,and go to update drivers.
Manually lead it to the Windows 7 & 8 drivers,and update.
Reboot, and go to the terminal..

I tried and it goes like
Android USB Devices>Android Composite ADB interface
then i press update so then i browse for the windows 7 driver
and in the end it comes out as "Window has determined the driver for your device is up to date."
Android Composite ADB interface

and for the HTC dev one, i have a sensation with Virginmobile Canada
So im suppose to click on all other supported devices right?
