HTC BOLT some information needed please

Hey Everyone...Just a question on how to root the HTC BOLT...
So I know you have to unlock the boot loader first . After this can you use Kingo Root to root your HTC BOLT, If not what files would I need then in order to root my device. Trying this out for the first time.
Are there any links that can be provided or a video perhaps to point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Jay

1. unlock via htcdev.com
2. flash twrp
3. boot into twrp
4. flash either SuperSU or Magisk (I prefer Magisk, as it can hide root status for Android Pay)

So when I am in HTC download mode...I am not sure which option I am supposed to choose, On the htc site it says highlight fastboot but on the phone itself I see
System Info
Show Barcode
Reboot to bootloader
Reboot to downloader mode
Reboot
Shut down

Blu R1 HD Unlock bootloader, install TWRP, and root (Non prime)

Note: This guide if for the non Prime variant of the Blu R1 HD running android 6.0. It will also factory reset your device
Before you start: make sure usb debugging is enabled by going to settings-about phone scroll down to build number and tap it until it says you are a developer. Then just go into developer settings, find usb debugging, and click enable.
1: go to http://bit.ly/2rYeWVh on your phone and download the zip
2: The first thing you will need to do is install Adb and fastboot on your computer from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
3: Once you have it installed, find the folder it installed into (usually either in c:/adb or in your downloads), and double click the Runme.bat
4: Once you're in the shell, run
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
this should boot your phone into its bootloader
5: Wait until your phone is in the bootloader (it should say something like "fastboot..."), and then run
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
This will unlock the bootloader and reset the phone. The process may take a few minutes to complete
6: Now that your bootloader is unlocked, you will need to install TWRP custom recovery. Since there isn't an official build for the BLU R1 HD, we will use a custom one. download from bit.ly/2BBJ8rp (original link was long) then place the recovery.img into your adb folder
7: then flash the recovery with
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
replace recovery.img with the name of the file if it is something different this should take about a minute to install.
8: once you have TWRP installed you can root. In the TWRP menu click install, then select the SupeSU zip you downloaded previously. Once that has installed you should be rooted
Please post questions below!

Also need to turn on "enable oem unlock" option in developer options
1: go to http://bit.ly/2rYeWVh on your phone and download the zip
A label for random downloads is advised
2: The first thing you will need to do is install Adb and fastboot on your computer from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
3: Once you have it installed, find the folder it installed into (usually either in c:/adb or in your downloads), and double click the Runme.bat
4: Once you're in the shell, run
Code:
Adb reboot bootloader
this should boot your phone into its bootloader
Needs to be lowercase "adb"
5: Wait until your phone is in the bootloader (it should say something like "fastboot..."), and then run
Code:
fastboot OEM unlock
This will unlock the bootloader and reset the phone. The process may take a few minutes to complete
Needs to be lowercase "oem"
6: Now that your bootloader is unlocked, you will need to install TWRP custom recovery. Since there isn't an official build for the BLU R1 HD, we will use a custom one. download from bit.ly/2BBJ8rp (original link was long) then place the recovery.img into your adb folder

Your directions are incorrect and incomplete.
And not working for devices updated with OTA , because blue made changes to block the bootloader unlock option
And there are already multiple posts with this topic that are complete.

IDK that's just what I did for mine and none of the other tutorials we're were right for me so I wanted to share it if anyone else had the same problem. I bought my phone like three months ago though so the os should be recent. Any info I should share?
Also I could add the link text cuz I haven't posted enough

I was little harsh with first response. sorry
your steps were incorrect just in the"case" used.
Interested in your custom build number. It is displayed on the "about phone" section of setiings.
And you were able to unlock without changing the "allow oem unlock" setting is curious.
did you get phone refurbished or used?

Its fine
Build number: BLU_R0011UU_V21_GENERIC
build number date: 05-05-2017
Phone purchased at amazon.com/BLU-R1-Cell-Phone-16GB/dp/B01H2E0KVA/ref=sr_1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1512256238&sr=1-3&keywords=blu+r1+hd
It was new
I might have actually turned on oem unlocking some time in the past because I remember seeing the option, but when I was actually trying to root the phone and unlock it the option wasn't actually there. I had also factory reset the phone recently before the root and unlock so that shouldn't have mattered anyway. But yah, I was like, theres no option to enable that, Ill just try it without and it worked. And it did. The odd thing is though when I go to settings and search oem the option for oem unlocking comes up for developer settings, but when I click it there is nothing there. (Hopefully that makes sense)

To get around this just find the previous version stock rom from the blu dev site and flash it first. I have never seen a OEM unlock menu blanked out if that is what you're trying to say, in this case amazon and blu teamed up and you should be able to restore to original version without the OTA.

Locked out of - Android Oreo 8.1 - Forgot PIN - Motorola G5 Plus

I am using Andriod Oreo. Im locked out of my phone. I use a lock screen PIN. My phone says, with 3 more wrong attempts, my phone will be wiped. I would like to recover my data.(I do not have a custom recovery installed)
Here's what I have done till now.
1. I have installed adb and fastboot.
2. My device is recognized under fastboot while my android is in the System boot menu.
3. My device is not recognized under adb.
4. Before getting locked out of my phone, earlier, I have tried enabling "developer options" and "usb debugging" as well. I think both should be enabled. (I am not sure though)
5. I have tried using apps like mobogenie and moborobo as well. They don't have the latest oreo support. Even Dr.Fone doesn't support my device.
My device details: Moto G5 plus :with Android Oreo 8.1.0 update.
Guidance of any sort will be very helpful.
Thanks in Advance,
Shaen

Ok so you have fastboot. Running "fastboot devices" shows device?
If so, download latest twrp and "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" (or whatever yours is named as, I usually rename mine to twrp).
After twrp is installed, flash the unlock lockscreen zip:

Cupcake 1.5 said:
Easy, flash the zip to unlock lockscreen.
I you cannot get twrp flashed or use adb/fastboot, simply boot into stock recovery (power +volume -) and reset phone. Sorry, but if you alll out of options, you have to factory reset.

Thank you for your reply.
I do not have twrp installed. I am not able to use adb. But I am able to use fastboot.
With the above mentioned, is there a way where I can either bypass the lock screen or I can recover my data.
And, Sorry, i do not understand "flash the zip to unlock lockscreen." , being an amateur.
Thanks again,

You would have to unlock bootloader.
First try this. Uninstall the fastboot/adb setup you have, if it is an installer one. And install the one I linked above. Now try adb again with device booted.
With this adb installer, you can simply open a command prompt and type "adb devices". It's a system wide adb install.
If you still have no adb, you have only two options. 1) unlock bootloader and do as I said above or, 2) factory reset in stock recovery and lose data.

Additional question:
Thanks for your help and I am following the steps mentioned.
It's on my mind that USB debugging might not be enabled. Sorry to put this now.
I thought you should know this. If this changes anything, please let me know.
If it is mandatory, is there a way to enable USB debugging through fastboot.

As far as I am aware, there is no way to enable adb other than to toggle it within the system.

Hi, Here's and intermediate update. And a doubt as well.
I have downloaded the 15 seconds installer from :

Installation is completed.
Also I have downloaded and installed the drivers from : https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/how-to-lock-bootloader-potter-version-t3694952
The wizard is completed.
But I don't see the drivers in device manager. How do I know if the drivers are installed properly.

If you can't get twrp or adb, there is little chance of saving your files. You eventually have to factory reset and in future have files on SD card. Because your bootloader is locked, you cannot unlock to put twrp on device because that will also reset phone. Your out of options here.

You need adb debugging enabled as he shows in the YouTube link you posted. You have no way to do that. Also to unlock bootloader, you need the other developer option enabled called "OEM unlocking".

You got stuck on waiting for devices because you didnt enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging from developer options in settings.
You need to go to settings - about device - click on the build number 7 times and you unlock developer options.

I enabled Usb debugging and OEM unlock before i tried it

so what i did was open up cmd,
type cd <place where SDK files are>
type adb devices
type adb reboot bootloader
at this point the phone enters download mode
then i type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (i renamed the twrp file for my phone to twrp)
then the waiting for device thing appears
i tried rebooting and using fastboot oem unlock instead, but it still said waiting for device

Check if CFAutoRoot is available for your device... If not available you can create from there

After twrp writting, boot in recovery mode and wipe data

Thanks @Devil440. I'm using the Pixel Experience ROM on Android 10.
The only thing remaining now is to install Google Camera for that I need Camera2 API enabled which is possible through Magisk.
Could you tell me how to install Magisk in the ROM?
