hope you will make it?

I can't unlock bootloader on mine either. I am using a moto Z2 force on T-Mobile network but MetroPCS is my provider. I followed all step by steps I have all the latest Motorola drivers and Android studio components. After I type fast boot OEM get unlock data it just sits there is a blinking cursor indefinitely

Grab adb and fastboot from here Extract and open folder, hold shift, right click in the folder and open command prompt. Type 'fastboot devices' to verify that your device is connected. If all set, then type 'fastboot oem get_unlock_data' to get your string and follow the steps here

cant unlockbootloader
tried it with those links and it says...failed unknown command

Make sure you're using oem cable, 2.0 usb port from the motherboard, not a hub port from the front of the pc. Also, make sure you're not putting the 'quotes' in the command.

You should be in bootloader mode when you run fastboot commands

i run.. .\adb devices for some reason my comp only runs it if you use .\ in front of the commands . then i use.... .\adb reboot bootloader ...the phone goes into bootloader .. then .\fastboot devices and it shows the serial, then .\fastboot oem get_unlock_codes and i was getting a cursor that stays until i close the program but with new link someone gave me for adb it says failed unknown command

1. T-mobile is unlockable
2. Turn on developer mode and Allow OEM unlock
3. On Windows PC, open adb via CMD. Connect your phone and type:
adb devies
You should allow authorisations on your phone.
4. Enter bootloader mode (maybe wait for the PC to recognize the phone). Type command:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
5. Follow these links that others gave. Make sure Motorola and Google USB driver are installed.

Me neither , i was on lineages but something went wrong I brick my phone so I sent it to service center after that i am unable to get the Unlock Data. I seem the problm with users who repaired their phone some how .

Check usb port, cable, and adb/fastboot files. 95% of the trouble people have with flashing and/or fastboot commands can be attributed to one of those.

No that didn't work

[Q] Enter Fastboot mode with scrapped volume button, to relock the bootloader

Hello friends,
How to get into fastboot to relock the bootloader, if my volume button is dead? By dead, I mean the ribbon has been ripped off of the mobo (it was soldered onto mobo).
Since I'm a brand-new noob, the only way I know of and have done is to get into fastboot mode and lock it back up like what I did when I unlocked it. Any other way to lock it, ideally within the Android OS? Since my volume buttons are completely dead, I doubt that I can get into any "mode" other than OS right now..
TIA!
adb reboot bootloader.
I've seen that command in a post from search earlier, but there was no response after that post.
Would you explain the procedure? I am afraid that I might do anything wrong on top of these disasters i've gone thru with this phone
I also saw another line during earlier search: "if they don't know how to setup an adb command, they probably shouldn't unlock their phones"... Looks like I've done what I shouldn't..?
I would say doing whatever ripped the volume button cable out was what you shouldn't have been doing If you unlocked the phone you have the software you used to unlock, right? What software/guide did you use/follow? Are you using Windows/Linux/Mac? The only way to get to the bootloader w/o the volume buttons (afaik) is to use adb via usb. If you provide more details I can try to help you.

Once you're in adb reboot bootloader, do fastboot oem lock. Opposite of how you unlocked it in the first place

navigate your cmd line to the folder with adb and fastboot in it. Hook the phone up to the computer and type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
which will make your phone reboot into the bootloader mode. You can then proceed with what you need to do.

I agree with whoever said that. This is another example of people messing with things before reading and learning how they work.
Thanks for your help guys!
btw, anyone found xdadevelopers to load extremely slower in Firefox when compared to Chrome? (just offtopic)
Anyway, I unlocked the bootloader when I was switching to yakju cmd and this folder called "fastboot-and-adb" in which there is both adb.exe and fastboot.exe. I used command "fastboot unlock bootloader" or something alike.
I'll do some more search and learn. Don't want you guys to think of me as a lazy bone who unlocked their bootloader using 1-click toolkit
p.s. edit: in my other thread, someone suggested using quickboot app.
Thanks for your replies guys!

Somehow it says device not found
I do have proper driver (Naked Driver Beta 0.5 by 1wayjonny) that my phone was able to be recognized under bootloader at the time when I could actually get into bootloader. My phone is also being recognized as media device now... I have also turning usb debug on...
Try adb remount

This should list the serial number
Then all commands should work

You need to turn USB debugging on, and then type "adb devices" and see if it shows up. It may not using the Naked Driver; I had to install the full Samsung USB driver package before ADB would see my Galaxy Nexus.
If it does show up, then you type "adb reboot-bootloader" and it should boot into fastboot. Then just type "fastboot oem lock" and it will wipe the storage partitions and restore the bootloader lock.
Thanks for the help at late night guys. I finally got into the bootloader, thru a mac tho Kinda ironic that I am a supporter of Windows, well, at least a firm user of Windows.
Tried adb remount, it still says device not found

I believe that you quoted my "I have turned USB debug on" ;p
Gave up on trying Windows drivers. When I was flashing the Yakju, I tried Samsung full driver, and it didn't work on my machine, i.e., the phone can't be detected in bootloader mode, while the beta 0.5 driver worked. So I decided not to mess with it anymore.
It looks like when the phone is not under bootloader, windows recognize it fine as MTP devices and install proper samsung driver from the internet directly. This allows me to open it up in explorer to browse files and such, but the phone won't show up under adb devices somehow.
Looks like MTP device (when the phone is in Android OS) and the fastboot mode use two kinds of drivers. This is just my assumption, though.
Anyway, finally got into bootloader now with Mac, and it's pretty funny I have to do everything thru command as the volume rockers are dead
And most importantly, thank you guys for your help!
Just another update
It's real funny now that the bootloader is locked, I can't unlock it again cuz I don't have the volume button working, so I couldn't choose YES on the phone.
I'm not trying to unlock it again, but just to confirm if there's really no work around, in case I encounter this situation again in the future
Lucky that locking the bootloader won't erase everything, or I won't be able to flash a ROM with it locked... :cold sweating:

[Q] need help in unlocking Bootloader for HTC One V

Hi,
I am trying to unlock the boot-loader for HTC one V using the steps given on their official website
followed all the steps, but when i reach step 8: and type in
>fastboot oem get_identifier_token
It just shows waiting for devices, whereas my device is already connected. and in the FASTBOOT mode
When I type
>fastboot devices
It shows nothing (should'nt It show the device which is already connected?)
I have the Android SDK installed and copied the 3 required files from the Platform-tools folder.
ie -
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
fastboot.exe
I have the USB debugging turned on,
HTC sync manager is installed and it also shows that the Driver is up-to-date.
Though, when I plug in the Phone in Fast Boot mode it shows USB device not recognized.(I am using Windows 8 Pro )
This Is the first time I am trying this
What am I doing wrong? any help would be appreciated.
TIA.

Run the SDK Manager, do you have the Google USB Driver installed (it's under extras). I'm not 100% certain but I think you need to install that to recognize the phone in Fastboot mode.

Hey, Thanks for your reply, I had the Driver installed already, but there was some problem with Usb3.0 i guess

Unlocking Is easy

I have had this watch for about an hour now... ANNNND the bootloader is unlocked...
easy steps below
Note For Clarification: you CANNOT do this over Bluetooth.
Enable ADB and connect to computer.
reboot into fastboot using: adb reboot-bootloader
then issue command: Fastboot Oem Unlock
accept the prompt on the watch.
then reboot the watch...
Piece of cake.
Now... about that boot logo...
Yeah its like a nexus in that regard. And no I don't have the watch yet but have ordered it today.
I would unlock mine but there's no reason to yet. I always unlock my Nexus devices first thing yet with the watch I would like to keep it stock for now.
No reason to unlock, until someone creates twrp, and root.

Have not done it, but fastboot takes the -s parameter as well. So I would try:

Cannont get USB drivers to work
I tried bith google USB drivers and ClockWorkMod universal ADB drivers and cannot get my Huawei to properly connect. I tried two separate computers with the same result. Each time the USB drivers seem to install but the watch shows up under other with exclamation point. My objective is to side load watch face apks to see what I can accomplish with running this watch under iOS.
ADB debugging is on and I also tried also turning on Bluetooth debugging. Intersetingly Bluetooth debugging does kick in.
I'm a novice at BT debugging and any attempt to communicate with the watch following on-line guidance did not work.
Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.

What does "issue command: fastboot oem unlock" mean exactly? There is a little red action name which I can cycle between "Reboot", "Shutdown", "Reboot-bootloader" and "Reboot-recovery", none of which seem remotely correct. I went into "Reboot-recovery" to see whether there was further stuff in there, but nothing seems relevant.

So what this means is you need to have ADB and fastboot setup on your computer. From there, you will need to go into developer settings on the watch and enable ADB debugging. Then once you have that enabled, go to where you set up ADB on your computer and type in those commands provided.
P.S. If you're sitting there not sure what ADB means and how to set it up, you NEED to do more research before trying anything like this.

Actually, it has been a bit of a ride.
I knew of adb already from my watch face development so I had initially wondered whether fastboot was a subcommand of that. I didn't expect it to be another command in the SDK at all for some reason. But yep, it's in the same place as adb, and it works, and now everything flashed fine. I don't know why I didn't search my computer for a file with that name, since that would have located it.
Un-hiding the development options is mentioned on the wear developer site so that was fairly easy to set up. The only hard part was that they gave a text-only explanation, but this watch came set to Chinese, so it was a bit fun to figure out which button to press to "confirm" a dialog. I recognised the first option as the "no" and the second option turns out to have been the "yes", but there are more options below that I still don't know what they are, lol.

Problem with fastboot flashing

I have somehow installed the fastboot drivers for my Pixel C (although ADB still doesn't work), and have successfully (?) unlocked the bootloader.
If I try to flash either the newest bootloader in order to install the N Developer Preview or a TWRP image, I get the following message:
FAILED (command write failed (No such device or address))

I tried different USB ports but the result was the same. I found somewhere about fwtool, but in order to use that I have to be rooted (if I understood correctly).

I'm assuming that since you were able to "successfully" unlock the bootloader that you can do this to check and see if your PC still recognizes your device. So, while you have you're Pixel C in fastboot and have it connected to your PC, open a command prompt and type the words fastboot devices and see if it returns your device serial number. Normally the command prompt will show that message when your device is not properly connected with the correct drivers installed. Also, if you have the correct drivers installed your ADB should work if you have enabled USB Debugging in developer options.

Well, fastboot devices (and all fastboot commands) works. As for ADB it shows my device, but says unauthorized and never asks for my authorization.
But the thing is that I cannot flash anything.

Okay. If it will recognize fastboot commands let's start over from the beginning. Go to developer options and verify OEM Unlocking is checked and USB Debugging is checked. If you have the correct ADB drivers installed you will receive a pop-up message that says "This computers RSA key fingerprint is xxxxxxxxx. Check the box to always allow. Next, boot to the bootloader and type fastboot devices in a command prompt window. If it returns your device serial number then we are good to go.
Next, open a command prompt window and type fastboot flashing unlock. (may have to use fastboot OEM unlock) I've seen both work for some reason. If you are successful your Pixel will give you a message saying the bootloader is unlocked and OS verification is off. Once it's complete it will boot into the bootloader again. Once this happens, boot normally and hurry through the setup wizard so you can enable developer options and enable USB Debugging.
Now, once this is done boot to the bootloader and open another command prompt window and type fastboot devices to verify you are connected. If you are connected then you can fastboot flash the Android"N" bootloader and install the developer preview. Lemme know how you make out.

Thanks for the very descriptive post. The thing is that I have already done all that, with the exception of using ADB, the pop-up never appeared and my Pixel C appears as unauthorized in adb devices.
I know for a fact that the bootloader is unlocked, because everything got wiped afterwards, and I also get the message saying that the bootloader is unlocked in every boot.
The thing is I cannot flash neither the developer preview nor the TWRP image. I read somewhere about a similar thing some users had on Pixel C, but the solution was to either do something via TWRP or use fwtool that needs root. And I can do neither.
So that's why I started this topic to see if anyone can think of anything else.

On thing to try is to go into the settings Developer Options and "revoke USB debugging authorization". Connect to PC and you should then be asked to allow the "fingerprint". Hopefully that will fix it. I assume you've tried changing the connection type - charging, File transfer etc. If you are using W10 Pro then you may have driver issues. There are many posts on the net about that os and Google's driver but I've yet to find a definitive answer, I now use a USB C card see http://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-c/help/windows-10-pixel-c-type-c-ports-t3414423

Ok... Since I have no intention to root until Huawei pushes the Oreo and Facial Recognition updates, I have kept USB Debugging "OFF" and set Select USB Configuration to: Media Transfer Protocol (MTP)
Then, I attempted to do what you are trying to do... and it worked perfectly..
So.. Do This:
Step 1 Click on your windows icon and in the search bar type "CMD"
Step 2 Set USB Configuration to MTP.
Step 3 Again I had Debugging off.. you can try it with it on if you like.. either way turn off your device.
Step 4 Hold down the Vol-Down button while plugging your device into your USB cable connected to your computer.
Step 5 This will turn on your device and put you in Fastboot Mode.
Step 6 Now go to your ADB Command Line and type "fastboot devices"
You'll see it.....
