This assumes you already have the latest version adb/fastboot installed on your Mac.
There's plenty of info here and else for that.
You are responsible for unlocking the bootloader.
Unplug all other USB devices. Most important step. It seems the HTC sometimes wants to own the USB.
Plug U11 into USB.
Toggle USB connection on U11 to File Transfer.
Launch Terminal (utilities) on your Mac.
enter "adb devices” in Terminal - should get serial back in Terminal window.
In Terminal - “adb reboot bootloader" .
“fastboot devices” should bring serial to Terminal window, and this screen on the U11.

Reboot to download mode by hand using the up/down volume keys and power to enter/choose.
Now in download mode enter “fastboot oem get_identifier_token" in Terminal.
Option click to mark: from <<<<Identifier Token Start>>>>
to
<<<<<Identifier Token End>>>>>
DO NOT highlight “INFO on any line.
The purpose of the option key is to be able to highlight and copy just what is needed.
Copy.
Now you can paste the "identifier_token" into the space of the htcdev.com page.
This will cause an email to be sent to you that will have an attachment of Unlock_code.bin , as well as a further link for the next couple steps to complete the Unlock process.
This Unlock_code.bin has to be dropped into the same folder as you have adb/fastboot in.
I use a subfolder of Downloads. In Terminal cd /Downloads/Android. Whatever works for you.

Hi all
I have used unrevoked tool about half a year ago,with almost no problems.The only problem I am (still) facing is the off mode charging one.I lived happily with it for some months but now i want to flash a new recovery image to fix the off mode charging thing.I download the image,and use unrevoked to flash it.The problem is it fails at "waiting for root, firmware too new?" eaven though the phone is allready rooted and running cyanogenmod 7.How can I flash a new recovery?
tnx in advance
Well, 3xeno helped me when I had this problem, so I will quote him:
1.) Install Android SDK, and use the Fastboot option.
2.) Get the Recovery.IMG file of the Clockworkmod version you want to flash.
3.) Place this in the SDK's Tools folder.
4.) Reboot your phone in the bootloader mode.
5.) Enter Fastboot mode (Press Power button on Fastboot).
6.) Open Command Prompt on Windows.
7.) cd (browse) to the SDK's tools folder.
8.) Type the following command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". (Without quotes.)
Done.
Screenshot below:

Hit thanks if I helped you.
You will need S-OFF by AlphaRev X to use the guide above posted. Else, it wont work. Also, you might want to use an older version of Unrevoked, if you are not interested in getting S-OFF at the moment.
Unrevoked 3.14 is said to work pretty well. Just search around in the forum a bit, many members have uploaded it to various file hosts.
Thank you both!
Unrevoked v3.14 worked like a charm
Hello, this a quick guide on how to get adb and fastboot working from anywhere in command promt. You might ask why this is useful? Well if you set your system up like this, you can use adb and fastboot from practically anywhere. This is very convenient and saves you having to navigate to your SDK every time you want to do something with your phone. So let's get started!
Prerequisites:
Windows 7 or Windows 8
Java JDK downloaded and installed.
Android SDK, preferred location:
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK
See note
First, right click My Computer and select Properties. From there, select Advanced system settings.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then, select Environment Variables
You will now get a box that looks like this. Select edit, here is the important part.
Do NOT delete any of the text in the field, simply add:
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools;C:\AndroidSDK\tools
to the end of the text field, like this
Note: This assumes that your Android SDK, tools and platform-tools folders are setup in the same directory as mine, if not please modify the path accordingly
After you've edited the text field, press okay, then okay again and voila. Finished!
From now on, whenever you need to use adb or fastboot simply open command prompt and type away

ADB and Fastboot installation guide for Windows | system wide
100% working on all windows
Download latest ADB and Fastboot drivers, extract and replace to your existing adb and fastboot folder.
If you are installing adb and fastboot for the 1st time, follow the next steps:
1. Create a folder in C:\ , give it a desired name, (for me the adb.exe it's in: "C:\platform-tools")
2. Go to Control Panel -> System ->Advanced System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Environmental Variables
3. Add the adb path just like in the screenshots below.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Below, under "System variables" scroll down to the variable labeled "Path" and choose Edit and add the path of the adb.exe there too
Ok. Now you are ready to use adb and fastboot , everywhere you are. You don't have to 'cd' to the adb path anymore.
**If you ever get a bad alloc error or falling to an older adb version message in Windows 10 x64, just reboot your phone to recovery and try again.

Having fastboot installed on the PC should be enough. You sure the phone is booted to bootloader-fastboot mode (which is mandatory)? What is the response to the command: fastboot devices
Reboot to EDL mode from FASTBOOT!
No more Test Point Method needed
Technical Details:
Redmi Note 3 support rebooting to EDL in Android Bootloader aboot module (the "reboot-edl" command) but fastboot utility doesn't recognize "reboot-edl" in the command line and refuses to sent the command to the device. Since FastBoot command protocol is simple and text-based, it is enough to send a packet containing "reboot-edl" text over USB. The simplest way to do that is to patch Windows fastboot.exe file, replacing "reboot-bootloader" text with "reboot-edl". As "reboot-bootloader" string is found in the command line, fastboot.exe sends the same constant string to the device. So if "reboot-bootloader" is replaced with "reboot-edl", you can specify "reboot-edl" in the command line and the same text will be sent to the device.
New Update: Fastboot updated to latest version.
Tutorial:
1. Download the Fastboot_to_EDL from : https://www.mediafire.com/file/yr7csyo64e97vbu/Fastboot_to_EDL.zip/file
2. Extract the zip in your desktop
3. Open the folder and double Click on Reboot.bat

4. Reboot your device to Fastboot Mode by pressing
Vol Down + Power button and connect your device with PC and Press Enter.
5. Your Device will be rebooted to EDL!
6. Now flash your Fastboot Rom with Mi Flash Tool to Unbrick your Mi Note 3.

Hi everyone,
I am running out of ideas, hope someone can advise me.
It is F5321 (of course)
I want to flash stock rom on X compact with NewFlasher Tool. I already use it for XZ1C & XZ2C, (no issue), before installing custom ROM.
I don't manage to start the phone in flash mode. I hold volume down and connect usb (on usb 2.0 slot) but I got this error.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Optional step! Type 'y' and press ENTER if you need GordonGate flash driver, or type 'n' to skip.
This creates GordonGate driver installer in the same dir with newflasher.exe!

Usb drivers seems good -> peripherical well recognize, and holding volume up + usb connect (blue light). "fastboot devices" command line works (I have a code in acknowledge).
For information: bootloader unlocked (so fresh re install); no fingerprint or PIN Code. USB debogging activated
All newflasher_v55.zip is extracted in the stock firmware folder.
"Maybe". Is it possible I downloaded wrong firmware? It seems there are 2 possible for France.
