How to unlock bootloader for Desire vc ? How to switch S-ON to S-OFF for Desire vc? Help me.
Problems rooting
Hey. I've been trying to root my phone. But I even haven't been able to unlock the bootloader. The fastboot just gets stuck at waiting for device and does not proceed. I have downloaded and installed the latest USB drivers from Google's Android SDK, but still fastboot does not list my device. Any ideas what might be causing the problem?
Prompt please recovery from your archive in English?
Thanks.

>> I had the sample problem but i installed the HTC Sync Manager and then it worked.
It seems that the USB drivers of the device are not in the SDK from Google but in HTC's software.
i didn't understand how to "run the recovery bat file...while connecting the phone in fastboot usb mode." or "run bat file from desire vc recovery to install recovery.(phone in fastboot mode)"
EDIT: I've successfully rooted my phone!
Here is what you have to do:
1. Unlock bootloader (following htcdeveloper's instructions) - It took me sometime and i got stuck with the "waiting for device" for a while but then i installed HTC Sync Manager and i could finish that 1st step successfully. (When i go to the bootloaed i can see "Unlocked")
2. Copy the file "recovery.bat" (which was a chinese file "点我运行.bat" so i had to rename into "recovery.bat") at the root of the internal memory and i also put the folder "files" (which was with it from the .rar i downloaded) including: adb.exe / AdbWinApi.dll / AdbWinUsbApi.dll / fastboot.exe / recovery.img
(i'm not sure that is useful but i did it)
3. Copy the file "root.zip" at the root of the SD Card BUT rename it "update.zip"
4. Selected the "debugging mode" and "disk drive" as choice per default when i plug the USB cable
(i'm not sure that is useful but i did it)
5. I restarted the device and go to the bootloader. (Pressing both "Power button" + "Volume -")
6. The menu is : Hboot / Fastboot / Recovery / Factory reset / Simlock
Choose "Fastboot" and plug the USB cable ("Fastboot" became "Fastboot USB")
From your computer, launch "recovery.bat" file, a window will appear, press "Enter" and wait a few seconds.
7.a. On your phone (you should have now a menu in chinese), select to the 2nd line (using the volume buttons) and press you power button
b. Select the line where you can see the words "SD" and "update.zip" between the chinese caracters and press the power button.
c. Wait a few seconds, you should see some messages and then confirmation of the root.
8. Your phone is rooted, you can reboot and enjoy
Press Thanks if it worked for you!

Just place the downloaded firmware (UL-xxx.zip) into root folder on your internal storage or external sdcard. The system will automatically recognize it and asking do you want to flash it.
Just make sure you had the correct regional firmware (mine was WW)

Rename your downloaded firmware to K012_sdupdate.zip then copy to your MICROSD. Now you just have to go into droidboot mode.
Follow the step below to go into droidboot. (Start by turn off your device).
1. If you had never update to kitkat before, go into droidboot by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until droidboot menu is present.
2. If you have update to kitkat before (or currently on kitkat), boot into droidboot by holding VOL UP + POWER until menu is present.
Next step depend on menu that appear on your droidboot menu:
1. If you had SD UPDATE option presented on the MOST BELOW option, go on and select it. (Beware, you should choose SD UPDATE not SD DOWNLOAD)
2. If your menu doesnt show SD UPDATE, then you had to choose RECOVERY.
I think thats all to do, your device must have start the update process by now.
CMIIW
But there is no recovery mode in this device like cwm or twrp..............
have a look.....
in the video below i have started in recovery without puting the firmware archieve in sdcard....will it surely work...
and one thing more is there ant way to install cwm or twrp or any other recovery on this device......
Flash fonepad firmware
It's very easy. Just put the downloaded zip file in the root of you internal memory and you will see a notification which says it has detected a new update file. Tap on it and install.
Good luck

Then you need to use ADB tools and fastboot. Before anything you need to download the attached files which contains ADB tools and intel usb drivers. Download the files and extract it somewhere . Go to "intelandroiddrvsetup1.1.5.zip" and install the drivers. Then Power off your tablet. Hold down the Volume + and Power and rlease at the Asus logo comes up. Now you will see the fastboot menu.
Connect your tablet to your PC. Now go to the folder you extracted the zip file. Press the Shift key and Right click somewhere in the folder. Choose "open command window here".
Then type this commands one by one and press Enter:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
Then you need you flash the a stock firmware. Download the appropriate firmware from Asus website. There are three .img files in the firmware zip file (fastboot.img, boot.img, splashscreen.img). Copy all these three files to the extracted folder. Now type the following command in the command window one by one:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
The last step is that you should put the firmware zip file on your external SD card. Rename it to k012_sdupdate.zip
Now use the volume keys on you tablet to choose the Recovery (if you have updated to 4.4.2) or SD Update (if your android version was 4.3). Press the Power to choose it. The tablet will reboot and flash the firmware.

How to USE FASTBOOT commands in case your Device got Soft-Bricked with NO DISPLAY
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Let's describe Softbrik:-Anything caused to your phone except damage to Hardware of your phone which put your Device into a state where it is not booting up and kept showing White, Gray, Blue or Black Screen or Either It gets stuck at Company logo Screen. This may occur if something goes wrong during Rooting, flashing Recovery or ROMs or during Updating in Recovery Mode or either being caught by some wrong software or VIRUS !!!
Preface to the Guide:
Fastboot is a command line tool used to directly flash the filesystem in Android devices from a host computer via USB. It allows flashing of unsigned partition images and also can erase partitions. Its a part of Android Developement Kit (Android SDK).
Use of FASTBOOT is disabled in production devices since USB support has been disabled in the bootloader. You must have an Engineering SPL, or an SPL that is S-OFF or Unlocked bootloader to use 'fastboot'.
After installing the Android SDK or ADB Standalone you can use 'fastboot' in addition to the more common ADB.
One can use the attached .android folder if u want to skip downloading Android SDK. (Refer Attachment)
Verify SPL S-OFF or Bootloader Unlocked:
Not required for Micromax !! But certain Production Devices like Sony HTC LG etc may need bootloader to be unlocked before carrying out this process. My simple advice to people is.. "If you enjoy experiments on your device, you must be ROOTED and to ROOT you device you may need to have unlock bootloader"
Preparations:
(1) Download attached .android.zip, Extract and place .androidfolder on C:/ drive of your PC. So the path of this folder will look likeC:/.android
(Never remove this ".android" folder from C:/ coz you will require it whenever u want to experiment with you Droid using ADB or FASTBOOT methods. I assure... You can do a lot more with it; if you really explore how to use various commands !!!)
.android folder is containing adb.exe, fastboot.exe and related drivers adb_usb.ini, android_winusb.ini AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll and other files; all together not more than 800KB
(2) Connect Device in 'USB debugging ON' mode.
Ensure Drivers for your Device are already installed on the host computer
Note: I recommend you should always keep USB Debugging opetion 'ON' as it only can help you, in case, your device get SoftBricked and you cant see anything on Device Screen. Remember that with USB debugging 'OFF' your Device can't communicate with your Host Computer.
(3) Host Computer Ability to Launch Command Prompt:
On Windows-XP or earlier, to start ADB (Android Debug Bridge) You need to locate your folder containing adb.exe where as Windows-7/Vista/Other-Latest-OS can directly launch command prompt from the Folder itself by Shift+Right Click on Mouse and Selecting "Open Command Prompt from here".
Hence 'Locating 'adb' folder-steps' are for XP users only, However higher OS users can skip it and can directly start giving 'adb' commands after opening cmd from .android folder.
(4) So now, Open Command Prompt (in Windows XP), it will return like this:
Code:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME>
(As our adb.exe is in C:/.android.... we will type: Cd C:\.android)
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME>Cd C:\.android (Hit Enter)
C:\.android>
Let's give command to detect attached device by writing: 'adb device'. On hitting enter it will list all devices attached to your PC.
Code:
C:\.android>adb devices
List of devices attached
XXXXXXXX-XXXX device
Now u can do a lot while your Device is attached in 'adb mode' e.g.:
Code:
1. Rebooting into Bootloader (FASTBOOT)
2. Installing apps on as /system/app or /data/app
3. Copying Files to/from your SDCARD
4. Pulling Files or Apps already installed on your /system or /data partition
To Understand adb commands and how they work please read:
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html#commandsummary
Let's come back to ISSUE: "We have a SOFTBRICKED devices !!!"
(1) Booting into FASTBOOT mode:
Let's come back to'fastboot' as we need to flash new ROM or to apply update.zip in a Softbricked deviceNote: Let your device remain connected to PC and don't disconnect untill You finish you job-successfully and get your Device again in working Factory Condition.
""fastboot reboot-bootloader" This command is used to reboot your device into bootloader i.e into fastboot mode) and In this Mode your device will stuck into boot logo only and u cant operate it. ;D Well we are not concerned as we already have a bricked device with no screen display !!!. Lets go ahead...on cmd follow:
Code:
C:\.android>adb reboot-bootloader
C:\.android>fastboot devices
XXXXXXXXXXXX fastboot
(2) Unlocking-ReLocking Bootloader:
(Skip if u working with pre-unlocked devices)
C:\.android>fastboot oem unlock
...
SUCCESSFUL
finished. total time: 118.063s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(Accept/Decline warning on your devices screen. Select YES to Unlock)
(Once ROM is flashed) To relock Bootloader use command: fastboot oem lock:
Code:
C:\.android>fastboot oem unlock
...
SUCCESSFULL
finished. total time: 118.063s
(Accept/Decline warning on your devices screen. Select YES to ReLock)]
(Skip if u working with pre-unlocked devices)
(3)Get 'Recovery.img' and 'Update.zip' for your Device:
Lets Wipe the Data and then proceed to Flash new ROM/Update.zip
IMPORTANT: Copy the stock recovery.img and your devices' Update.zip[ in .android folder(You can get it even by searching it in this forum or by Googling for it..) So I assume that you have it....in your .android
Abbreviations:
recovery.img = Stock Recovery of your Device
Update.zip = Update Package/Stock ROM of your Device
Let's start wiping and updating process with following commands:
(4)Wiping Old Data and Flashing new Update.zip:
Code:
C:\.android>fastboot -w
SUCCESSFUL
C:\.android>fastboot update Update.zip
(Here Replace Update with Full Name of your any Update.zip that you copied to .android folder)
Your phone will update and automatically reboot into the Factory State. Cheers !!!
Note: Its important to spell the file name correctly that u want to flash/update. No space between name are allowed. This process will only be successful if your device is still carrying recovery partition 'intact'.
.....If above wiping/updating FAILS....
If you still in "No Display State", extract update.zip to .android folder (U can use 7zip).
You will find following main .img files, each incorporate specific partition on any android device. In our case we can extract following:
boot.img -The main kernel and initrd
recovery.img -A 'backup' kernel, initrd, and OS 4 sysm recovery/maintanance
sytem.img -The main OS
userdata.img -User data and settings
splash.img -Has Boot image. can be splash1 as well.
cache.img -Temp storage
...there can be similar partition names depends on your device type.... but basically these 6 partitions constitute a ROM. Copy all of (6) files to .android folder. (Henceforth, we can use this recovery.img as stock recovery for your device.)
"As your device is bricked/corrupted, we need to erase all old Partitions and flash (rewrite) new partitions that we have extracted from Update zip and placed in .android."
(1) Lets erase all partitions first (one by one)using: fastboot erase <partition>
Code:
C:\.android>fastboot erase system
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot erase recovery
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot erase boot
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot erase userdata
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot erase splash
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot erase cache
Successful
(2) Continuing with Flashing new partionsusing the Images copied in .android:
Command: fastboot flash <partition> <partition_name.img>
Code:
C:\.android>fastboot flash boot boot.img
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot flash system system.img :(here people gen. get stuck
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot flash splash splash.img
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot reboot
If all successful, Your phone will update and automatically reboot into the Factory State. Cheers !!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
..If you are Unable to flash 'system.img' successfully...
Reason: Your device is not allowing to format and rewrite 'system' partition manually. If your device is Rooted then probably such failure will never occur.
Let's overcome this Issue as well...Try Following...
First, Understand current State of Device...
We Wiped out old partitions and Flashed new partitions except :-\ system :-\ So No System on your Device at present.
What we will do now..
We will now wipe all partitions again
We will then flash only recovery.img saved in .android folder
We will use update.zip saved in .android folder to Flash it using SD Card.
We will copy update.zip on SD Card (using adb). If you can do it manually using a card reader skip step-II in below process.
Step-I: Wiping 'partitions' and Flashing 'recovery.img':Let's wipe all partitions again:
Code:
C:\.android>fastboot -w
C:\.android>fastboot reboot-bootloader
C:\.android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
C:\.android>reboot
Step-II: Copy update.zip on SDCARD
Code:
C:\.android>adb push update.zip /data/sdcard
Step-III: As you can't manage to see what is happening on screen(No Display) hence Don't do mistakes here, read carefully and follow exactly:
1.Reboot Device into Recovery Mode:
On cmd type:
Code:
C:\.android>adb reboot recovery
2.Now Press 'Volume(-)' button ONCE. (Once means 'once only'-if you did mistake here repeat the Step-III)
3.Press 'Power' Button TWICEand Leave you Device for some 10 Minutes time.
If phone don't get alive in 10 Minutes Repeat Step-III again.
You may not able to see but Your phone will update and automatically reboot into the Factory State. Cheers !!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Explaining Last Step:
We used simple logic in last procedure/ Its nothing but updating using Recovery Mode. Always remember Custom Recovery of Micromax A56/57 has following options: (May be diferent for other devics)
As the default curser in recovery UI remains on Option-1 and we needed to choose Option-2.
Hence to select "Apply update for sdcard" we pressed 'Vol(-)'ONCE and then to Confirm and execute that option Tapped 'POWER' button TWICE.
Hope this Guide helped you or ...will Help you to help others !!!

I have a problem with fastboot stuck on system erasing on adb fastboot mood also userdata and cache only flash recovery and boot img sp flash not working with this phone I do other mtk android with sp tool successfully what I do
What if the device is recongised in adb as : (device name) recovery, but can't actually boot into recovery (twrp) and thus when entering the command : adb reboot fastboot it can never actually boot into fastboot ?
Are there any adb commands that can do the trick or is it game over ?
[RECOVERIES & ROOT] Yureka custom recoveries & Root without Changing Stock Recovery
Note : This tutorial is for YU Yureka based on CM11 (KK 4.4.4) 32bit architecture
and
do it on your own risk, I will not be responsible if you brick your phone
Here is the detailed guide and collection of stock and all custom recoveries for YU Yureka and detailed guide to Root YU Yureka without changing Stock Recovery
Requirements
1. YU Yureka (obviously) with USB Data cable
2. PC / Laptop (Having Windows installed at least Windows 7 or above)
3. Drivers (Windows Automatically detect and install the required drivers)
4. ADB & Fastboot binary package that can be downloaded from XDA 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.2']http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
5. Custom Recovery (Anyone in which you are interested CWM, PhiZ, TWRP)
6. Latest SuperSU.zip file to root your phone
Warning: This process may delete all data stored in internal storage so better backup all the files stored in internal storage.
Step One
Enable USB Debugging on your device you can just follow these steps:
Go to Settings> About phone and keep taping on build number at least 7 times or till it appears "You are a developer now",
Now again go to settings>developer option (only after the previous step it will be enabled)> check/select USB debugging.
Step Two
Unlock your bootloader to flash custom recovery and root.
Here is the process
1. Download the adb & fastboot binary package and install it.
2. Put your phone into FASTBOOT mode by following anyone from below methods :
Method 1 (easiest)
-------------------
a. Power down phone
b. Plug USB cable to your PC
c. Press and hold Vol Up button and plug other end of USB to your device, soon you will see the fastboot screen.
(or without plugging USB Cable, Press and Hold Power and Vol Up buttons simultaneously, until you see the screen
"FASTBOOT MODE"
Method 2
---------
a. While your phone is Power On, plug USB Data Cable with PC and Phone (USB Debuging must be Enable)
b. Open Command Prompt on your PC (with Administartor rights) and type the following command
adb -s 0x1ebf devices
You will get results something like that :
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
3a289c2 device
*Note : If you get "authorization message" then look on your mobile screen and authorize your PC and run the command again.
c. Now note down the device no. (for e.g. in above "3a289c2") and type the following command
adb -s 3a289c2 reboot bootloader
[*Note replace the device id with your id (here 3a289c2), that you got in last command]
Now your phone must be booted into fastboot mode. A screen with "Fastboot Mode" should be appear on your phone.
3. Device drivers will get installed by windows (please wait for the driver installation to complete)
4. After driver installation is done go to the folder where you have extracted the package
5. Now open elevated DOS command prompt (terminal) on your PC and go into the same folder where you saved the recovery file
(*Note : to start command prompt directly from desired folder, while holding the Shift Key Right Click on folder and select start "open command window here")
6. Type the following command to check if the device was detected in fastboot mode
fastboot -i 0x1ebf devices
you should get output like : 2a25d00 fastboot
if you don't get similar output it means that the drivers weren't correctly installed or the device wasn't connected properly
7. If the output is similar to above then run the following command:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem unlock
you should get output something like :
.....
OKAY [ 0.003s]
finished. total time: 0.004s
8. Now your bootloader is now unlocked.
*Note : if you want to re-lock your bootloader again (for warranty on any other reason), again boot into fastboot mode and this time type the following command and enter
fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem lock
Step Three
Boot your phone into recovery (temporarily or permanently) and root your phone
1. Download SuperSU.zip and put it on root of your internal or external SD card
2. To load custom recovery (CWM / TWRP / PhiZ) temporarily, now type this command in terminal :
fastboot -i 0x1ebf boot CWM_6.0.5.1_recovery-yu.img
*Note 1 : if you want to flash the custom recovery permanently then us the following command
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash CWM_6.0.5.1_recovery-yu.img
*Note 2 : if your download custom recovery is named differently (here CWM_6.0.5.1_recovery-yu.img) then while writing the above commands you need to put the name of the recovery same as as your saved file name (anyone CWM / Phiz / TWRP)
3. Done ! You loaded custom recovery temporarily, if command used with "boot" hence to root your phone, proceed to next section (step 5).
or
If you flashed recovery permanently, using command with "flash" then boot your phone into recovery. To do so, you have Two options
i) type the following command and press enter : adb -s 3a289c2 reboot recovery
or
ii) power off your phone, after then press and hold "Vol up+ Vol down + Power" buttons simultaneously to boot into custom recovery.
Now to root your phone proceed with next section (step 5).
Root your phone
5. To gain root access, flash SuperSu.zip that is stored on your internal or external SD card (in step 1)
6. Choose reboot phone and enjoy rooted phone with stock or custom recovery !
Special Note 1
I didn't tested, but came to know that root doesn't effect OTA update on Yureka.
You can get OTA updates with root but after the OTA update is flashed you will loose root access. To keep it or to avoid this please go to System Settings -> Developer Options -> UNTICK -"Update CM Recovery" (update recovery while installing system updates)
Even though if someone want to go back to Stock recovery, then download the official stock recovery (link no. 6 above) and flash it using command in fastboot mode (second command in step 2 under head "STEP THREE")

Few errors noted:
1. You can't say flashing recovery when you are booting it.
2. In step 3 point 3 is not valid because when your command is to boot it will automatically boot into recovery you need not use combination keys.
3. Last point vender id is wrong !!!
Few suggestions:
1. It feels like you have not tested this by yourself
2. There is already a guide for "rooting without flashing recovery". Search before posting.

Dear aaskking
Thanks to inform. Here is the corrections
1 & 2 - Tutorial updated with "boot" and "flash" commands separately.
3 + Vendor ID is correct nothing wrong in it.
4 - I already tested all those procedures and commands. I never post anything without testing.
5 - Yes, I also seen that available guide, but that is not so much detailed and also required files links are not provided.
Anyway, thanks for your suggestions.

Great mate cheers just checked and tried that ota updates are available and work.. On stock recovery... Locked bootloader and with root..
Achieved this by downgrading to the very first cm11 firmware and got then rooted it and locked the bootloader then I just booted it and got the incremental update .. Downloaded and flashed .. Works perfectly.. Root not lost due to the untick in dev options..
Thanks again Arjun Singh, for confirming OTA updates are working.
I am already on Stock ROM & recovery {rooted} and tried the same procedure {locked the bootloader}, but no updates for me.
Is updates are really there, or something wrong with me ?

I am simply unable to get the device listed in command prompt after fastboot mode is enabled. my phone has option to boot into fastboot mode in power options. i tried that option, i tried using command to boot into fastboot. But somehow, when phone is in fastboot mode, it does not get detected by fastboot application (even though windows installs drivers successfully).
I have tried 3 different laptops. All had same problem. No idea how to solve this.

Ahahahaah... I know just the way... Do not reboot via adb ...
Switch off your phone remove your battery and put it back in do not turn it on.. But connect your USB cable and at the same time hold the power up or maybe down button .. Voila your in fastboot which will get detected .. Don't forget to use the vendor id.

I tried this method but phone does not get detected in fastboot mode at all. I have drivers installed for all different modes I connect my phone as. No luck at all.
Also, weird thing is, I have an option to directly go to fastboot mode from the power menu.
Jitendra Garg
Your driver's are not installed
As there is no special drivers setup, so connect your PC with Internet then plug your phone and let Windows install drivers automatically.

This a smple guide to
Change the CN sku to WW sku and also to flash prerooted firmware....
There are 3 methods to flash firmware:
a. Fastboot method - using ADB cmd in fastboot mode - described below - most common and definitive
b. Sideload ADB method - into recovery and using adb cmd method - incases where the above method is at fault or difficult
c. OTA method - by flashing or by copying in the phone storage and allowing it to perform like OTA update
FASTBOOT method:
Pre rooted firmware version used is PREROOTED 2.15.40.10 by the gret and devoted Shakalaca
Step by step instructions to flash firmwares in Zenfone 2:

Hi
OK for upgrade but what about downgrade ? Like coming back from .22 to .20...
This worked for me. Had some bumps with the connection to the pc. First tried on Vista but won't recognize the phone. When I tried on Windows 8.1 finally connected. A word about the flashing of the system image. You really have to WAIT. At first I thought something went wrong until it started after about 5 minutes or so, and yes in parts because of the big file. Many many thanks for your help. Last question: will the phone now accept OTA updates? More power to XDA!

OK I am desperate I have tried this guide and several others. I follow it to the letter and everything works as described but all I get is a bootloop. Any help would be very much appreciated. When I go into the recovery I see for a split second - installing system then I get an error. On normal boot I just get the bootloop.
Thanks any help would be very much appreciated.
Windows version for this
Have Windows 10, ASUS laptop. When connect Zenfone 2 to it, it shows up on the laptop as a CD drive. I know this can't be right. Is Win10 missing drivers for this or something?
