You should... Try out the commands in htc's instructions.

 

[Codec]

Instructions say type in C:\Android in command prompt and I do that and it says C:\Android is not recognized.

They say type in "cd c:\android" to change your directory to the android folder where you copied the files.

 

[Codec]

I typed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Android and it keeps saying C:\Program is not reconigesd as an interinael or external command, operable program or batch file.

You are forgetting to type CD in front of c:\android

 cd c:\android

is what you should be typing

Navigate to where you unzipped the ZIP file and go to the folder you just created (For Example: If you created the folder in C:\Android, then you would type in Command Prompt: cd c:\Android

 

[Codec]

So don't type in C:\Program Files (x86)\Android, type cd c:\Android?

 

[sdrawkcab25]

So don't type in C:\Program Files (x86)\Android, type cd c:\Android?

Correct, if that is the name of the folder you created to copy the 3 files to. If you didn't copy the files there yet. Open up your c:\ and right click in an empty area and select the option to create a new folder and name it android.

 

[Codec]

The folder I coped the files to is called C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\Root

 

[Codec]

Correct, if that is the name of the folder you created to copy the 3 files to. If you didn't copy the files there yet. Open up your c:\ and right click in an empty area and select the option to create a new folder and name it android.

Ok I did that now it says c:/Android.

 

[sdrawkcab25]

Ok I did that now it says c:/Android.

You can go to step 8 then, which I believe has you Type in Command Prompt: fastboot oem get_identifier_token

 

[Codec]

Ok I typed in fastboot oem get_identifier_token and now it says waiting for device, how should I connect my phone, disk drive?

 

[sdrawkcab25]

Charge only. You should have also enabled USB debugging in the first step of the process.

 

[Codec]

It just says waiting for device, I see a requirment is HTC Sync, I guess I need that for it to connect.

If you got the RUU to load in the first couple steps you shouldn't need htc sync but might be worth a shot. Did you double check that USB debugging is turned on?

Yes USB debugging is on.

 

[Codec]

Could it be I don't have the correct 3 files?

 

[sdrawkcab25]

Yes USB debugging is on.

Oh never mind, you need to boot into hboot and select the fastboot option.



Step 1

Remove and reinsert the battery.


Step 2

Press Volume Down and Power to start the device into Bootloader mode.


Step 3

Use the Volume buttons to select up or down. Highlight Fastboot and press the Power button.


Step 4

Connect the device to the computer via a usb cable

Could it be I don't have the correct 3 files?

The files are good or you wouldn't have the message that says its waiting for device.

Ok but why don't instructions say to do that?

 

[sdrawkcab25]

They do, that is copy and pasted from htcs site. It's on the page right before it has you install the sdk/adb

Oh Yeah lol I have disconnected my phone since then.

The instructions are kind of confusing if it your first time doing this type of thing. They definitely could have been more clear or just put the instructions onto a single page.

Yeah like those 3 files with exe. at the end that are not really at the end of the files, that's what really confused me.

 

[Codec]
