Hi,
Have been an owner of an M9+ for a few months now and it's taken me this long to not manage to unlock the bootloader so have caved in and decided to ask nicely for some help / advice.
Firstly, I live in the UK. I bought the handset from Fonis who are located in Dubai (best price, unlocked to any network, etc, etc) so am assuming this handset has got nothing to do with Verizon?
Problems..... the check box for 'allow OEM unlock' is not there. Doesn't exist. There is nothing in Developer Options to do with OEM.
When I boot the phone into Download Mode my pc does not detect it so am unable to proceed in getting the identifier token thingymabob.
Things I have done.... enabled dev options, enabled usb debugging, downloaded all the adb / fastboot stuff, shouted a lot and referred to the handset as a s teaming pile of s**t.
So, am I being extremely thick here and missing something obvious? Have I bought a complete donkey of a handset? (Fonis have good reviews online and that along with the price was a deciding factor in using them).
If anyone can help, great. If any further intel is needed then ask and I shall provide.
Cheers,
Rick
Do you have HTC sync latest installed? That contains the USB driver for the phone for fastboot to work
Yep, latest version of sync is installed. When I open HTC Sync with the phone connected to the PC while in download mode Sync states 'no phone connected'.
Have tried different usb leads and different usb ports but nothing is happening.

If you didn't try, maybe try connecting device, remove/uninstall driver of phone device instance in Device manager, reconnect and see if it installs correct driver. Sometimes wrong driver sticks with the phone device, if it was connected before HTC sync installed.
In developer options (in settings) you have to enable the bootloader unlock.

Hi I am new to this forum and I'm not an expert, I really would like to use the webtop without a dock,i tried following the instructions posted here but nothing happens, I don't know what am I missing. Am I supposed to run the install file on my computer or on my phone? When I run it on my computer a black screen appears and some command and then I says to press any key and that my phone will reboot, but nothing happens. Am I supposed to do something to my phone?
I'm on att gingerbread, not rooted, I enabled debugging mode.
Thank you
You need to root and probably deodex
sent from my Atrix via XDA premium
You are probably right, but why then on Fenny's post it says no root or deodex needed??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980193
oh well look at that,
you run the script from your computer but your phone has to be connected and have all the right drivers on your computer

Can you please be a little more specific, I have the drivers for motorola media link and the phone portal, also for usb connection.
do you know what ADB is and how to use it?
No. I don't know... I just enabled the debugging mode on my phone

ok connect your phone to hyhour computer and make sure the computer knows it is connected
then run the script
good advice
If I were you I'd be VERY CAREFUL and investigate and learn all you can BEFORE doing any mods on your phone. Too many phones have been bricked (rendered useless) by running things you know little about.
I did that but the doesn't do anything, it doesn't reboot like it says on the script. I know it's connected because when I enable debugging I see the pop up screen for the internal memory and the sd card
Thanks for your concern I really appreciate it.what I like about this is that doesn't require root
Root
Hi
I also had exactly the same problem.
I wanted webtop, without really rooting my device.
It didnt work out. Also ran the script no reboot etc.
I then rooted my device, Fenny assisted me to create 2 files for the stock 2.2.2 atrix 4g (The older version of the os)
I copied them manually using root explorer, rebooted, and walla, i had the webtop working.
I still have those files.....
If you need them, PM me, its worth a try...
So I had the magical luck of having my S4 fall out of my pocket while closing my car door, shattered to pieces, no touch response from the glass.
The problem is, I had the device locked with a pattern & pin, so I can't just plug in and backup all my photos and stuff that were saved with local device storage. I also can't get adb to connect to the device (with developer options enabled), I always get a "device offline" error (I've updated ADB to the current 4.2.2 version, but I cant whitelist it because I can't allow it from the phone without touch)
Now, I still have root, and I was able to blindly install CWM (the OUDHS-Recovery-jfltespr-1.0.3.3.tar) version with Odin. I'm assuming it went well because I heard the sprint chime on restart.
WHAT I NEED: Is someone to either give me some screenshots (or number of button presses) to enable internal storage to be accessible by usb in cwm (also how to get into it too). I figure if I'm able to use volume presses and the home button I can get to my internal files. Other than this option I'm at a loss before I return it. If anyone can help I would be so damn grateful.
I'll draw you a picture too.
EDIT 1: I have a picture of the main CWM screen from a youtube video here:

Now all i need is the mount and storage menu
So nobody can help? I didn't think a cwm menu was that hard to come by with an S4.

Were you able to connect with adb before? Was usb debugging checked in settings before the drop?
If you could get adb to connect, you could use a program like android screencast to view your phones screen on your computer.

That was my first move actually.
Problem is, even though debugging was enabled, I can't whitelist my PC from my phone. This is a new 4.2.2 feature to prevent data theft ironically.
All of these options will just return an "adb: device offline" error when it's connected. Trust me, I wish it was that easy.
You can't connect while in recovery either?
It would be kind of a pain, but you could pull multiple files that way.

Right click - uninstall, reboot, reinstall drivers.
Same problem here!
My G2 is recently updated to 4.4.2.
I have tried on several computers, different ports and no help.
On the first connection to a PC not connected before windows reports "USB device not recognized" problem.
After that every time I connect the phone to the same computer the phone itself only recognizes that it is using USB charging mode, it does not recognize the computer connection (known by the USB icon on android system tray) even with "Ask upon connection option checked".
Even when I manualy change the Android mode in Settings --> PC Connection from MTP to PTP or even LG software, nothing happens.
Definitely there seems to be a problem with the phone, but I don't believe it's a software but a firmware problem.
Please help if anyone knows what to do.
same here

Did you turn on USB debugging & OEM Unlock from developer settings?

USB debugging is enable but OEM Unlock is not present from developer settings.
Yeah my bad no OEM unlock on asus.. Did you accept that allow pc thing with security key when first connecting to adb? If yes then revoke auth and try connecting. Also reinstall the drivers both asus and adb and try different cables and keep the device in mtp mode.

I have tried MTP and other mode, different cable including the original one..... Still the same.
Can't revoke auth because adb never recognized my device
Hello everybody.
I wanted to unlock an BTV-DL09 [ Android 7 EMUI 5.04 EU ], but I'm stuck like the_wing was.
Modem no found !
Phew, got it unlocked! Moments of terror when entering the commands on the cmd...
A few mentions where I got stuck that may help someone else:
Regarding point 3:
In case your model has LTE (i.e. BTV-DL09), you actually should have a dialer application that you have to use instead of the calculator app, which didn't work for me. This is also mentioned in the DC unlocker app. In case you do it with the dialer, you have to enter following code: *#*#2846579#*#*
Regarding point 4:
Inside the "DC unlocker" app, I also got the "device not found" error, and I was wondering why. Two things I noticed:
- To enable USB debugging, it was not sufficient for me to activate the switch in the developer options, as the default USB mode for me is "charging only". I had to change it to i.e. "Device File Manager (MTP)" by tapping on the notification and then re-activate USB debugging in the developer options (which turned off after switching to MTP mode) to get USB debugging working.
- After enabling "manufacturer mode", the mode was turned off as soon as I quit the menu. So I had to stay in the menu to make sure manufacturer mode is on.
- You can check your device manager in Windows to see if the current mode is active: When doing USB debugging, the device "Android Composite ADB Interface" should show up under "Android Phone" list, whereas when you turn on manufacturer mode, some COM ports should show up under "Ports (COM and LPT)"; the one DC unlocker is searching should be named "Android Adapter PCUI". If you got some devices with not properly installed drivers you should consider installing HiSuite software on Windows first.
Regarding point 8
- When I bought the credits for DC unlocker for PayPal, I had to click on a link arrived to the PayPal e-mail for confirming your account. I then still got the "Server login error", but closing and reopening DC unlocker eventually fixed it.
Hope this helps! Happy unlocking to everybody!

I have installed Hisuite and Huawei data card driver.
Impossible to activate Device File Manager (MTP) and manufacturer mode, one deactivates the other, I do not know if this is the problem, but according to the tutorials it is a must.
I have a hard time understanding where the problem comes from, I even tested different USB cable, Win 7 and Win 10, I really did everything, but I'm dried.

I finally managed to unlock the bootloader, DC unlocker did not show me information from the tablet, but despite this, I could go to the next step and proceed with the unlocking, it is because of a msie security update according to Valdemaras on cd-unlocker forum, thanks to him.
