[how to] remove your "tampered" banner - One (M8) General

*this thread is for m8. it will NOT work on m7(or anything older). search your device general forum for a specific thread
if you have recently s-off'ed using an exploit that did not remove your tampered banner from the bootloader screen,then this thread is for you.
*note: if you are on hboot 3.19.0.0000 this thread will change software status: modified banner to: software status: official. to my knowledge,this banner is not completely removable (more info)
you do NOT need to downgrade your hboot. this simple adb command works without any scary hboot downgrades.
*you must be s off.
*you must have superuser installed
read this:
this will not work if your s on
the usual disclaimers:
i have tested this my my m8_ul t mobile variant,but use this info at your own risk. if it melts your phone into a little pile of aluminum goo,its not my fault.

IF you are an advanced user with adb/fastboot set up and some basic knowlede of the cmd window,you can skip to #2
1)set up adb(windows 7 and lower)
-download this file
-install drivers: if you have htc sync installed,you should allready have drivers. if not,you can install htc sync,or install these modified htc drivers from revolutionary (driver mirror)
-unzip your miniadb_v1031.zip file. this is native funtionality in windows 7. you otherwise may need a utility such as "7-zip" to extract,or unzip it. place the unzipped folder onto the root of your C drive on your PC. root means the top level,not inside any folders. so just copy and paste,or drag and drop the folder onto C with everything else that is there. you may want to rename it to "miniadb_m7" since youll be putting some device specific files in here.
-open a command window. on windows 7,click the start bubble in the lower left and type "command" in the search box. xp i believe is similar or the same. doing this should open a small black command window.
-change to your miniadb_m7 directory. type the following at the prompt in your cmd window:
cd c:\miniadb_m7
your command promt should change to "c:miniadb_m7>" provided you: 1)unzipped the miniadb_v1031 zip file,and 2)put the folder on your c drive,and 3)entered the name of the folder correctly ("miniadb_m7" in this case)
-now make sure usb debugging is checked in developer options(you will need to turn it on first),and plug your phone into your PC with a usb cable
-make sure your phone is being recognized- type:
adb devices
if your drivers are installed correctly,this should return your phones serial number. you should hear the "found device" noises when you plug your phone in. if it starts installing drivers,wait for it to finish before typing the adb devices command.
if you get your serial number back,then enter this command:
adb reboot bootloader
this should take your phone to the "fastboot" screen,wich is white with colored letters. this is one mode of your bootloaders interactive modes. at the top youll see fastboot devices as confirmation youre in fastboot.
now enter:
fastboot devices
again,this should return your phones serial number. you should hear the "found device" noises when you plug your phone in. if it starts installing drivers,wait for it to finish before typing the adb devices command.
if you get your serial number back,you can enter the following to boot back to the phones OS:
fastboot reboot
and now,youve installed adb/fastboot and tested youre phones drivers. if at either spot,you have trouble and dont get your serial number back,there is some sort of connection issue. use these steps to troubleshoot:
troubleshooting connectivity issues:
-try a reboot of the PC
-try different usb cables and ports
-dont use a usb hub
-dont use usb 3.0
-make sure nothing capable of comunicating with the phone is enabled and running. htc sync,pdanet,easy tether,and even itunes have all been known to cause issues.
-windows 8 has been known to have issues. try a windows 7 or older machine
failing the above,
-i use these drivers for fastboot and adb(donwload and run as admin): http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe (mirror)
failing that,try manually updating the drivers in the following manner:
-put the phone in fastboot mode(select fastboot from the hboot menu)
-open device manager on the PC
-plug in phone,watch for it to pop up in device manager.
-update drivers with device manager,pointing the wizard to the extracted
driver download folder from above
note that you can check the connectivity of the phone,and make sure drivers are working by in the following manner:
-open cmd window. change to directory containing adb/fastboot utilities
-adb with the phone in the booted OS,usb debug enabled,enter:
adb devices in a cmd window
-fastboot with phone in fastboot,enter:
fastboot devices in cmd window
in either case,a properly connected phone with working drivers installed should report back the phones serial number.

if this does not work for you
*first reread this thread in its entirety. make sure you have met the prerequisites,and double check your code and make sure you have not forgotten a step,or screwed something up trying to type it (especially if using a terminal emulator),and check that you have not gotten any errors.
if youre still confident you did things correctly,you need to PM me:
1)the results of: fastboot getvar all
2)a link to an uploaded p6.
you get fastboot getvar all by:
-place phone in fastboot
-enter in fastboot getvar all right click,click mark,highlight in white,hit enter or right click to copy
you dump p6 by:
adb shell
su (if needed to get a #)
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6
transfer the file on internal storage to your pc and upload it
im not trying to be a ****,but its not helpful to post "didnt work" if you screwed something up,or if your not willing to help find a solution. especially if others have found it to work on their same variant.
important:
from now on,i will need a copy of your cmd window as well if we want to get to the bottom of whats happening. some folks seem to be simply writing extra bytes,wich is screwing up the flag location. please make sure this shows an entire session,not just a last part where it looks correct. we cant figure it out if you only show part of what you did.
if you have other questions:
first and foremost: DO NOT quote this post in its entirety. doing so will result in your questions being ignored

The only way to do this is with a custom hboot,wich basically replaces the text with all spaces.

And that would mean we'd have to flash/replace the hboot, yes? I've also seen people "mask" these flags. Unlocked bootloader can be masked as Locked.

correct,youll need a new hboot. its not something i personally do,or even understand. i like to proudly display my s off,unlocked bootloader,i dont understand the desire for it to show locked and s on. the usual argument is "needs to be stock" but a modified hboot can cause the next user issues down the road,and it is easy enuff to go back to 100% legitimate stock,IMO there is no excuse not to if you need to turn the phone or have warranty work done.
just my 2 cents
i rather like my red text as well

*this thread is for m7. it will not work on m8,m9, or any other newer devices! search m8 general for the thread there(same name)
this thread will let you unlock your bootloader without htcdev,or let you change your hboot watermark from relocked or locked back to stock.
originally,we used a zip file flashable in recovery. i have found it to work on gsm devices with 1.44 hboot and CW recovery. it did not work with twrp. if the following is too scary,feel free to test the zip files. that thread,info,and downloads can be found here. since not all recoverys are working,these values can be changed with simple adb commands.
advantages
-no hassle with htcdev,tokens,or unlock codes
-no submitting your phones personal info to htc
-the ability to get back to 100% stock without any visual traces or records of having been s off or unlocking your bootloader.
you do NOT need to downgrade your hboot. this simple adb command works without any scary hboot downgrades.
*you must be s off.
*you must have superuser installed(seethis post] if you need help installing a recovery so you can install superuser)
read this:
this will not work if your s on. its not a way to magically unlock
the usual disclaimers:
use this info at your own risk. if it melts your phone into a little pile of aluminum goo,its not my fault.

Is this intended for people who got S-OFF and didn't use revone to unlock their bootloader at the same time? What would be the motivation for people doing that (not unlocking)?

will this also remove the "Tampered" flag once S-on has been returned?

it can be used for that,with the advantage of being able to unlock without having to submit ones perosnal phone info to htcdev for an unlock code(i.e. no record of having unlocked)
however,it is moreso intended for folks who are unlocked to get back to 100% stock locked. fastboot oem lock gets you relocked and before anyone can suggest it,using the bootloader modifier to just change the banner is IMO fraud.
if you need to return a phone for a legitimate warranty claim,its easy to make it 100% correct in case it makes it back out into the public

My question is, Can't both of these be achieved with revone -u and revone -l? I unlocked using revone, I never requested an unlock code from htcdev. If you need to be S-OFF ie, use revone, why wouldn't someone just add the extra -u parameter and unlock bootloader at the same time?
The lock command is definitely useful for those on a revone incompatible hboot (most).

Just tried this and it worked just fine, thanks very much.:good:

Cool
Much better than using revone to do this, as it leaves no tracks. Kudos 2 u.

i never claimed this was a major breakthru. this is just anotehr way to skin the cat. if revone is still working and your more comfortable using that,by all means do so.
thanks for all the comments,im glad some are finding it useful

Could you tell me if this method to lock/unlock bootloader wipes phone data like the method via htcdev?

Simple and easy guide much obliged Scotty ?

Can I relock It this way if I unlocked it through htc dev, and get the status locked instead of relocked?

no,it does not erase data.
the flashing of unlock code,and relock command initiate hboot to factory reset. this is only changing the flag that hboot checks.

I tried to copy mmcblk0p3 from /dev/block/ to /data/local/tmp and verify that all is done OK..
However, after command
Code:
echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/data/local/tmp/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796
I noticed that size of mmcblk0p3 in /data/local/tmp instead of 127 Mb changed to 33800 b (ie 33796 + 4 b).
Where is mistake? I have or have you? Check your mmcblk0p3 in /dev/block/
There are should be no all 00 after offset 0x8408.

im not sure what youve got going on with the filesize,but he 33796 is an address,not a size.
the command is writing only 4 bytes,at 8404,8405,8406,8407. if you wish to verify your HTCU or HTCL has been overwritten,dump it to your sd card: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p3 then pull it,and open it with a hex editor.
if youre working with a different device,pull mmcblk0p3 first,before issueing any commands,open with a hex editor,and verify the location of the lock flag.
the rest of 8400 is in fact all nulls, or 00
hope that answers your questions. i think youve just found some funky data becasue of the way youre attempting to verify it.

driver download folder from above
note that you can check the connectivity of the phone,and make sure drivers are working by in the following manner:
-open cmd window. change to directory containing adb/fastboot utilities
-adb with the phone in the booted OS,usb debug enabled,enter:
adb devices in a cmd window
-fastboot with phone in fastboot,enter:
fastboot devices in cmd window
in either case,a properly connected phone with working drivers installed should report back the phones serial number.

if this does not work for you
*first reread this thread in its entirety. make sure you have met the prerequisites,and double check your code and make sure you have not forgotten a step,or screwed something up trying to type it (especially if using a terminal emulator),and check that you have not gotten any errors.
if youre still confident you did things correctly,you need to PM me:
1)the results of: fastboot getvar all
2)a link to an uploaded p7.
you get fastboot getvar all by:
-place phone in fastboot
-enter in fastboot getvar all right click,click mark,highlight in white,hit enter or right click to copy
you dump p7 by:
adb shell

transfer the file on internal storage to your pc and upload it
im not trying to be a ****,but its not helpful to post "didnt work" if you screwed something up,or if your not willing to help find a solution. especially if others have found it to work on their same variant.
important:
from now on,i will need a copy of your cmd window as well if we want to get to the bottom of whats happening. some folks seem to be simply writing extra bytes,wich is screwing up the flag location. please make sure this shows an entire session,not just a last part where it looks correct. we cant figure it out if you only show part of what you did.

it is my understanding that revone does not work on hboots greater than 1.44,so you need to downgrade hboot to have that option.

It should, since the lock state is also part of the misc partition. it is just a different offset.

Introduction
adb and fastboot are very useful command line tools. They can be used from Windows, Linux or Mac to carry out tasks on your android device, such as moving and backing up files, rooting and restoring your phone to it's factory state. Understanding how to use these tools could save your phone when you get yourself in trouble. This is especially true of rooted users. Particularly those of you who are "new to the scene". You definitely should read and understand this thread before you do ANYTHING root related.
This thread is not intended to be a non-exhausted reference. It is merely here to give an overview of the most basic of basics

}
What is fastboot?
Fastboot comprises of 2 components.
1) Fastboot mode on the phone (The Bootloader)
2) Fastboot tool on your computer
Fastboot is a small command line tool that you can use from your computer whilst the phone is connected via USB and you are booted into the bootloader. The most common uses for fastboot are:
Unlocking the bootloader - needed as part of the rooting process
Flashing a custom recovery to the device - needed as part of the rooting process
Flashing factory images - used for saving / trestoring your device back to stock
Being able to do these 3 things are essential before rooting. Many new users skip learning these and use a toolkit to root. As a result, when they mess up and we try to explain what they need to do to fix their issues, it becomes very difficult for us to help as fastboot is not understood. It is YOUR responsibility to understand these things BEFORE you mess up.
What is adb?
adb is another small command line tool that stands for "Android Debugging Bridge". Again, it can be used from a computer connected via USB to your android device. It can be used whilst the device is booted into Android or (if you have a custom recovery), it can be used in recovery too, unlike fastboot (yes, adb and fastboot are NOT the same thing) which can only be used in the bootloader.
adb can be used to push files to (or pull files from) your phone. It can also be used to execute many of the commands available in Linux terminals (Or Android terminal emulators) on the device itself. We're not here to cover all these commands however. We just want to cover the basics.
How to install adb and fastboot
adb and fastboot are very easy to install and can be installed on Windows, Linux and MAC computers. The Windows install can be a little bit more complicated than the other 2 and may need additional drivers installing too.
Windows.
There is a very handy tool that can install adb and fastboot in 15 seconds. It is recommended that you use this to install adb and fastboot. Please see the link immediately below for that tool:
ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer - Really quick and easy way to install adb and fastboot (by @Snoop05). Download links are at the bottom of post 1.
This tool asks if you want to install adb and fastboot (to which you should answer Y) and then creates c:\adb\adb.exe and c:\adb\fastboot.exe
It then asks if you want to install it system wide .. This is asking to install for all windows users. < 15 second installer needs updating to SDK 23, which is required for latest Android versions.
Download the latest SDK (adb and fastboot) versions here: https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (Scroll down to SDK tools only) then download the Windows *Installer*.
Open the installer and select "Platform-tools" and install the packages. This should create "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"
Now we want to set this path as a Windows Environment variable PATH to make the executables work system wide:
right-click computer > properties > advanced > environment variables.
under system variables click "path" and click "edit"
at the end of the line, add the below:
Code:
;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Please note, the semi-colon ; is VERY important.
You may also need to install drivers.
Here is a link to the Google USB Driver: DOWNLOAD THIS
Code:
To install on Windows 7:
- Ensure existing drivers are uninstalled first*
- Extract the zip to c:\adb (created earlier by the installer)
- Right-click "Computer" > Manage in windows and choose "Device Manager"
- Boot the Nexus 6 to the bootloader (Volume down + Power) and connect the USB Cable
- Watch for any new devices with exclamation marks appearing
- Right-Click the new device > Update driver software
- Choose the "browse" method and browse to c:\adb, find teh folder you extracted then follow the wizard to the end - using amd6 64 if you're on a 64 bit system and i386 if you're on a 32 bit system.
*To uninstall existing drivers, boot into Android and connect the USB cable. Monitor device manager for the device showing up. To uninstall the device, right-click it to uninstall it. At the prompt, ensure you also choose to delete the driver. Repeat this for bootloader and recovery.
Code:
To Install on Windows 8, you may need to additionally disable driver enforcement
- From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings (move your mouse to the bottom-right-corner of the screen and wait for the - -- pop-out bar to appear, then click the Gear icon).
- Click ‘More PC Settings’.
- Click ‘General’.
- Scroll down, and click ‘Restart now’ under ‘Advanced startup’.
- Wait a bit.
- Click ‘Troubleshoot’.
- Click ‘Advanced Options’
- Click ‘Windows Startup Settings’
- Click Restart.
Once that is done, your Windows computer is configured for adb and fastboot.
In device manager, the device should show up as below, depending whether you are booted into recovery or bootloader...
Recovery - Android Device > Google Nexus 4 ADB Interface
Bootloader - Android Device > Google Nexus 4 Bootloader Interface
If it shows as something different, either you have existing drivers in the way or something went wrong.
Linux and Mac
Here is a really simple tool to install adb and fastboot on the above OS. The only expectation is you know how to open and run a terminal command. Please see the link immediately below:
Nexus Tools 2.2 (Featured by XDA) - adb and fastboot installer for Linux and Mac (by @corbin052198)
Once you have installed adb and fastboot from the above link, you're ready to go.
How to test adb and fastboot work
As previously mentioned, adb and fastboot are both command line tools. That means you must run these tools from command prompt (cmd in Windows) or Terminal (Linux and Mac).
Remember earlier, I mentioned that fastboot can only be used in bootloader? and adb can only be used in Android (or custom recovery - lets cover that later)? We can use the command "fastboot devices" and "adb devices to see if we have adb and fastboot working correctly.
Lets try it.
Boot your phone into android
Connect it to your computer via USB
Open cmd (start > type "cmd" on Windows) or Terminal (Mac/ Linux
Type in the windows "adb devices" and press enter
Here is what we don't want to see:
Notice how there is nothing underneath where it says "List of attached devices" That means it cannot see any device
Here is what we DO want to see:
We can see that there is now a device listed.
OK lets test fastboot. Unplug the USB and turn off the phone. When it is off, hold down Volume down + power until you feel the vibrate. You will now be in the bootloader. Reconnect the USB cable.
In the same window (cmd or terminal) we're going to now type "fastboot devices".
Again, here is an example of what we don't and do want to see:
If in both modes, you can see your devices "Serial Number", then you know they are both working.
Please note that if you cannot get adb and fastboot to work "system wide", you can open the command prompt to the location of the adb and fastboot executables exist and try from there.
OK Gimme some useful fastboot commands please!
Here are some of the most useful fastboot commands you will come across. Fastboot is used mostly for flashing images to the devices partitions on the internal memory.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
This unlocks your bootloader and allows you to flash a recovery to root. WARNING, this will wipe your device. Rooting the N6 is essentially unlocking the bootloader, flashing a recovery and then putting the SuperSU zip on your sdcard and flashing it via the recovery. This thread covers rooting: [HOW-TO] The Nexus 6 All-In-One Beginner's Guide by @xBeerdroiDx
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
This will flash a recovery.img to the recovery partition. The command is broken down into "fastboot flash" (what to do) "recovery" (where to flash to) "recovery.img" what to flash there. In the terminal or command prompt, you cannot just type "recovery.img" though. It has to be the path to where the recovery image is. For example, if my recovery image is on my desktop, I would have to type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery c:\users\rootsu\desktop\recovery.img
It is worth noting, that it IS case sensitive, meaning if your file is called Recovery.img, you must type the capital R...
Other things you would flash:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
These will flash the system image (ROM) and boot image (kernel) as you would if you were returning to stock.
A full guide to returning to stock can be found here: [TUTORIAL][GUIDE][HOW TO] Flash Factory Images || Unroot || Relock bootloader by @Mr hOaX
You can also boot into a recovery.img without flashing it...
Code:
fastboot boot c:\users\rootsu\desktop\recovery.img
which is "fastboot boot" (what to do) "c:\users\rootsu\desktop\recovery.img" what to do it with. As you may have noticed, we did not define the recovery partition in this command, that's because we're not flashing it....
OK Gimme some useful adb commands please!
At the moment, we are going to assume you have a custom recovery and you have booted into recovery. The reason for this is using adb in recovery can be much simpler.
Here are some useful scenarios for using adb.
Backup your sdcard to your PC
Code:
adb shell
mount data
exit
adb pull data/media/0 c:\MyBackup
**Please note, some recoveries may "mount data" automatically on boot, so don't be disheartened if you get an error stating device or resource busy. This probably just means you can't mount what is already mounted**
/data/media/0 is the real location of /sdcard for your information. Also referred to as "The mount point". What we have done here is "adb pull" (what to do) "data/media/0" (what to move) "c:\MyBackup" (where to move it to)
Push a zip file from your PC to your sdcard (useful if you wiped your sdcard and rom)
Code:
adb shell
mount data
exit
adb push c:\rom.zip data/media/0
What we have done here is "adb push" (what to do) "c:\rom.zip" (what to move) "data/media/0" (where to move it to)
You can of course also use adb to push and pull files to and from /system too. You just need to:
Code:
adb shell
mount system
exit
I mentioned earlier that using custom recovery is much easier for adb than whilst booted into Android. You need to ensure you have a kernel that allows insecure adb before you do anything with system and data partitions. You also need to ensure that USB debugging has been enabled in developer options.
For example, to mount system to pull files whilst android is running you have to:
Code:
adb root
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system
...which is clearly a little bit more involved, so I recommend you use recovery for adb push and pull. You can find more detailed information on adb here: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
A little more about using Windows command prompt
One thing to understand is that like Windows, command prompt (cmd.exe) works with directories (or folders if you like). The Linux and Mac terminals are the same, but most linux users, we expect you would already know this.
Here you will see I have downloaded a recovery image that I want to flash using fastboot.
As you can see, the recovery.img is located in C:\users\rootSU\Desktop
Usually when you open the command prompt from the start menu, or run command, the command prompt will default to your user location as seen below:
So lets try and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img...
It fails with a not-too-accurate error message. It has failed because you have not told it where the recovery image is. It assumes it is in the directory as listed in the prompt
So, how do we deal with this? Well, there are 3 ways.
1) We tell the command prompt where the recovery.img actully is in the command itself
Success! As you can see, we have told the command that the location for the file is Desktop\recovery.img
2) We can change the directory in command prompt to the directory where the file is. In this example, we change directory to "Desktop". The change directory command is "cd " or in this case "cd Desktop"
3) ...and possibly the simplest method. We hold shift whilst we right-click on the folder we want to change directory to, and directly open a command prompt there:
Another point to make with command prompt or terminals, is if you do a particular command, it is "pre-programmed" to "expect" a particular format of that command.
For example, we know that adb push as a command expects after it . This means the command is actually
Code:
adb push
BUT if you put something AFTER , for example -
Code:
adb push somethingelse
, it will assume that the "somethingelse" is a bad parameter, and the command will fail. It will probably display (or "print" which is the technical term in a terminal) a helpful guide of how the command should be used instead of trying to run the command which it does not understand.
You're probably wondering why I am telling you this. Well quite simply, it is a warning about folder names. Imagine you have c:\users\rootSU\My Documents as a folder. You assume the command is then
Code:
adb pull /data/media/0 c:\users\rootSU\My Documents
but it is not... There is a space in between My and Documents. What you have actually done is
Code:
adb pull Documents
because it uses a space to signify the end of a command or parameter. It is best to avoid using folders with spaces in them. Avoid as much as you can. In the event it is unavoidable (Although when is it ever>) then please surround the path with quotation marks,
Code:
adb pull /data/media/0 "c:\users\rootSU\My Documents"
so that way, it sees everything between the " " as a single parameter.
Myth Busters
Myth 1: You need USB debugging on to use adb and fastboot
If you cannot boot into Android, it doesn't matter. You DO NOT need USB Debugging turned on to use adb outside of android. USB Debugging is an Android ONLY setting. Fastboot obviously also does not need debugging either as this too is outside of Android
Myth 2: to adb push or fastboot flash files, they must be in the same folder as adb or fastboot executables. Sorry but this is rubbish. You can pass the full path of the image you're flashing or file you're pushing in the command and fastboot / adb can be called system wide if you've set them as an environment variable or used the 15 second installer

Good guide. Needs to be a sticky. In fact, I think every device general forum should have a sticky like this. Would have saved me a lot of grief back when....

Excellent update.

Very good to see. I'm sure lots of people will be sending noobs here for the basics.

Up to your usual helpful, good work I see.

rootSU said:
This tool asks if you want to install adb and fastboot (to which you should answer Y) and then creates c:\adb\adb.exe and c:\adb\fastboot.exe
It then asks if you want to install it system wide (to which again, you should answer Y)... This then allows you to type adb commands in the command prompt without having to open a particular directory first. You may or may not understand what I mean when I say that, but take it from me, its much more convenient and easier to use this way.

Y option = System-wide = install to "C:\adb" and add path for system variable - This mean you can use it by any account on your pc.
N option = Current user only = install to "C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\adb" and add path for user only - Only user account used for installation can actually use it.
So if you say Y or N you will be still able to use it from any directory with cmd.

Thanks for the info. I thought system wide meant it was putting it as a path environment variable. Reason I didmt use the drivers from your tool originally is (well I wrote this thread for N5 originally) they didnt work so had to install the universal naked driver. But if yours are the same as the ones linked, I can update that.

Sooo I need a little help here. I followed the directions to unlock the bootloader and everything went good. I did the CF auto-root, and the phone booted back up as normal. Now, I was trying to flash the M preview, and all of a suddon now my phone isn't recognized in adb. You posted a pic of what we don't want to see when testing for adb, but you don't say how to fix it if we run into the problem. Any way to get it to recognize my phone again so I can get this build on?

Android M no like root, you'll either have to live with stock or wait for chainfire to do his thing.

This all worked well until I had to find my device in the cmd prompt. It listed no devices when I typed in "ADB Devices". The issue I found was with the ADB Interface Driver. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it thinking it might've been a driver issue, but it still wouldn't work. I tried the "Uninstall driver" then "scan for hardware changes" but that didn't work. Finally I found the universal ADB driver and tried using that. STILL nothing. I figured that, because I don't have my device's driver installed, it might've been that, so I tried to DL it and yet again, nothing. I have a Kyocera Hydro Life, if that helps. Also, I tried looking through the "update driver manually" in order to update the driver software by looking through the different ADB interfaces that it had but my Kyocera driver wasn't there. Is it supposed to be there or do I just use one of the ones provided?
I checked my programs and apps and it says that the Kyocera usb driver was installed. Did I do something wrong?

This all worked well until I had to find my device in the cmd prompt. It listed no devices when I typed in "ADB Devices". The issue I found was with the ADB Interface Driver. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it thinking it might've been a driver issue, but it still wouldn't work. I tried the "Uninstall driver" then "scan for hardware changes" but that didn't work. Finally I found the universal ADB driver and tried using that. STILL nothing. I figured that, because I don't have my device's driver installed, it might've been that, so I tried to DL it and yet again, nothing. I have a Kyocera Hydro Life, if that helps. Also, I tried looking through the "update driver manually" in order to update the driver software by looking through the different ADB interfaces that it had but my Kyocera driver wasn't there. Is it supposed to be there or do I just use one of the ones provided?

Try a different USB port. If that doesn't work try a different USB cable. If that also doesn't work, you could try disabling driver signature checking for Windows.
If those don't work, try this thread > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583801

@ScottyChaos,
Just a fundamental question: I assume you have enabled "Developer Options" in Settings, and then checked "enable USB debugging"?

Here is a thread that you might find interesting > http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/metro-pcs-kyocera-hydro-life-rooted-t2870678

Windows 10 device driver management is even more locked down then windows 8. I got two of the three drivers loaded but when going into adb mode on the phone through recovery it just disappeared out of the device manager. I had to unplug and plug in while in that mode to trigger a unloaded driver in the device manager. Once there I had to force the adb driver manually with the nasty windows driver warning and all. Once I did that I could see the device in adb mode and sideload my marshmallow OTA. woot!

I decided to drop a thanks bomb...
ADB is good.
But that fastboot.
Seriously, its ONE command. OK, a few different arguments to use.... But it is so easy, and so powerful. People are afraid to mess up on command line, but its actually way harder to type the wrong thing out then to click the wrong thing.
LEARN IT. Forget your toolkit.
You can fix almost anything, Its not too hard for you. It may be new... YOU CAN DO IT.
Also, I have to say it... Its not going to help anyone, but it will keep me from punching something. ADB and Fastboot... Not the same. You don't ADB a new system image....

READ THIIS!
*this thread is for m9. it will NOT work on m7,or any older device. please check the general forum for your particular device for a similar thread.
this thread will let you unlock your bootloader without htcdev,or let you change your hboot watermark from relocked or locked back to stock.
advantages
-no hassle with htcdev,tokens,or unlock codes
-no submitting your phones personal info to htc
-the ability to get back to 100% stock without any visual traces or records of having been s off or unlocking your bootloader.
you do NOT need to downgrade your hboot. this simple adb command works without any scary hboot downgrades.
*you must be s off.
*you must have superuser installed
read this:
this will not work if your s on. its not a way to magically unlock
the usual disclaimers:
use this info at your own risk. if it melts your phone into a little pile of aluminum goo,its not my fault.

- @Mutasek24 for fearlessly testing all commands
IF you are an advanced user with adb/fastboot set up and some basic knowlede of the cmd window,you can skip to #2
1)set up adb(windows 7 and older)
-download this file
-install drivers: if you have htc sync installed,you should allready have drivers. if not,you can install htc sync,or install these modified htc drivers from revolutionary (driver mirror)
-unzip your miniadb_v1031.zip file. this is native funtionality in windows 7. you otherwise may need a utility such as "7-zip" to extract,or unzip it. place the unzipped folder onto the root of your C drive on your PC. root means the top level,not inside any folders. so just copy and paste,or drag and drop the folder onto C with everything else that is there. you may want to rename it to "miniadb_m7" since youll be putting some device specific files in here.
-open a command window. on windows 7,click the start bubble in the lower left and type "command" in the search box. xp i believe is similar or the same. doing this should open a small black command window.
-change to your miniadb_m7 directory. type the following at the prompt in your cmd window:
cd c:\miniadb_m7
your command promt should change to "c:miniadb_m7>" provided you: 1)unzipped the miniadb_v1031 zip file,and 2)put the folder on your c drive,and 3)entered the name of the folder correctly ("miniadb_m7" in this case)
-now make sure usb debugging is checked in developer options(you will need to turn it on first),and plug your phone into your PC with a usb cable
-make sure your phone is being recognized- type:
adb devices
if your drivers are installed correctly,this should return your phones serial number. you should hear the "found device" noises when you plug your phone in. if it starts installing drivers,wait for it to finish before typing the adb devices command.
if you get your serial number back,then enter this command:
adb reboot bootloader
this should take your phone to the "fastboot" screen,wich is white with colored letters. this is one mode of your bootloaders interactive modes. at the top youll see fastboot devices as confirmation youre in fastboot.
now enter:
fastboot devices
again,this should return your phones serial number. you should hear the "found device" noises when you plug your phone in. if it starts installing drivers,wait for it to finish before typing the adb devices command.
if you get your serial number back,you can enter the following to boot back to the phones OS:
fastboot reboot
and now,youve installed adb/fastboot and tested youre phones drivers. if at either spot,you have trouble and dont get your serial number back,there is some sort of connection issue. use these steps to troubleshoot:
troubleshooting connectivity issues:
-try a reboot of the PC
-try different usb cables and ports
-dont use a usb hub
-dont use usb 3.0
-make sure nothing capable of comunicating with the phone is enabled and running. htc sync,pdanet,easy tether,and even itunes have all been known to cause issues.
-windows 8 has been known to have issues. try a windows 7 or older machine
failing the above,
-i use these drivers for fastboot and adb(donwload and run as admin): http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe (mirror)
failing that,try manually updating the drivers in the following manner:
-put the phone in fastboot mode(select fastboot from the hboot menu)
-open device manager on the PC
-plug in phone,watch for it to pop up in device manager.
-update drivers with device manager,pointing the wizard to the extracted
driver download folder from above
note that you can check the connectivity of the phone,and make sure drivers are working by in the following manner:
-open cmd window. change to directory containing adb/fastboot utilities
-adb with the phone in the booted OS,usb debug enabled,enter:
adb devices in a cmd window
-fastboot with phone in fastboot,enter:
fastboot devices in cmd window
in either case,a properly connected phone with working drivers installed should report back the phones serial number.

Thanks a lot for your very useful information. I have 2 questions??
1) When I am s-on and need to get s-off, then I need to be unlocked and rooted, so to do these still I need to use HTC-dev to unlock and root.
2) Does this method wipe data like when we use HTC-dev?

1)yes. the first time you root,you will need to use htcdev to unlock the bootloader. the biggest benefit of this is the ability to return to a locked status for warranty. while s on,the best youll be able to do is relocked.
2)no,it will not wipe your data. it just changes the flag that hboot checks in order to decide if its locked,or not.

I am a little confused. How do I unlock my boot loader without root? I have s-off and i'm just messing around with trying to get rid of modified status but how does the "su" work without root?

Thanks for your very important knowledge.This question is not related to this thread, do you know which adb commands we can use to remove tampered flag as such in M7 and M8? I wonder mmcblk0p blocks might be different.

Thanks!

The block where the tampered flag is write protected,so it cannot be written to with adb and have the change "stick". We know the command,it just doesn't work.
An ruu won't be available for all variants,so there will still be a work around,it will just be a bit more complicated. I just need to make sure it works and try to make it as user friendly as possible.

Not possible. Only cards up to 32gb can be formatted as fat32, it's because above 32gb cards are not SDHC anymore but SDXC and this doesn't work..

Ruu.exe worked for me.
Sdcard worked for @Mutasek24, but download mode manual flash did not (as reported in your other thread).
Because all methods are flashing the exact same SIGNED zip, and exe flashes through RUU mode, it's likely that flashing zip manually from RUU mode would reset the flag while using download mode does not. That needs to be tested tho.

this thread is for m9 it will NOT work on m7,m8,or any older devices(or anything other than HTC)
again,dont do this on anything other than m9. any posts stating "i bricked my whatever" will be directed back here,to this first bit of information.
you may or may not be aware that m9 has some write protections still in place,even after s off. these write protections keep us from doing things like changing our "tampered" flag with a simple adb command.
this thread will let you disable the remaining wp. be careful what you do after doing this. your s off phone will let you brick itself,if you tell it to.

P.S. FIRST!

Hmm, this didn't seem to work on mine and I tried it twice, rebooting each time.

Worked great on my Verizon M9 as well.
Thanks @scotty1223 and @beaups!

Worked as expected. Didn't have any doubt.
Thank you @scotty1223 and @beaups od course.
BTW, I was already "official" by your previous method, so didn't try that part.

What is failing? What variant do you have?you are s off and in a root shell,correct? Dump p32 and pm me a link
Assuming you're having trouble with software status,I'll need to look at p8 as well.

Worked on my T-Mobile M9 also

Ok... so just to be sure, does restoring official status this way means I can download and apply OTA without having to flash back to stock and with keeping root on ?

Nothing failed per se, the root shell commands seemed to work and gave no errors. But when I rebooted, the software status was still "modified."
I'm on an AT&T M9 with 2.10 firmware and the ElementalX beta kernel.
What's the best way to dump those partitions? I'm not sure what file type to use.

yep... actually after getting official status, flashing stock twrp backup, stock recovery, re-locking the bootloader (LOCK flag)... OTA would still not apply... soooo... yep, I just flashed Maximus' firmware and AHRD and now I'm fine ^^

Any solution for security warning on download mode after 2.10 or 2.8 base firmware update ?
