I'm not really sure what its asking?
So you're having trouble unlocking the bootloader? Use this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=770946
Also state what software you are on.

Hi Pal
as you can read thread title, i flashed my MB855 Sprint with US Cellular SBF.
How can i get back to Sprint stock, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Someone write to the moderator to make it sticky and everyone will know it immediately (maybe) . Should I give the thread another name? I don't know.
2.3.5 sv2 custom sbf/unbrick - in development section
And if there are some unclear points, tell me.
But I think, if someone wants to unbrick, he must give it some time and read and read. So there is link in another thread, where you can read more.
Hi mate,
Thanks for coming here, actually i read it more and more trying to follow all your procedure written over there.
But m stuck @ boot loader unlock process.
Code:
G:\Motorola\Original\Android\MB855\moto-fastboot-win32>fastboo
ata
... FAILED (remote: (00180001))
So without unlocking bootloader m not able to root the phone, right ? no root means none of your procedure gonna works for me, right bro?
Now please you help me step by step.
If you updated to the latest OTA, the bootloader is currently not unlockable. You can only root.

Ok, i rooted using below method.

But rest procedures are still not done by me, trying trying.......
You should stop trying before you mess something up. The bootloader cannot be unlocked at the moment, if on the latest OTA.

Morning all! Sorry this is my first post, so I had to put in in general here, but I just got my DNA yesterday and I was unable to stop the OTA, I have tried to use the SuperCID unlock and whenever I try to do anything with ADB i get "Access is denied." I assume the OTA has cause the current version 2 of the SuperCID to not work? Or am I just making a newb mistake and not doing something right? Thanks for any feedback!

Your mistake was allowing the OTA. There is no current method to change CID/unlock post OTA.

That's kind of what I though. I'm sure it will get unlocked somewhat soon, I can be patient. Luckily this phone is bearable without being rooted, just never had a phone long, before I rooted it.

Not right now, someone somewhere is supposedly working on it and we should have an answer and CID unlock soon...

It's funny that you say this because that exact person and the creator of this unlock method is not only a couple of posts above yours. It's almost ironic
Unlock bootloader then flash this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141129
Then use facepalm S-off
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155069
Follow the steps correctly and you will be able to get S-off. I tried it and it worked for me on two devices

Most people were rooted prior to the OTA but you can root the OTA. I know because I had to do it myself.
wait a minute... we can root with the 2.0 OTA????? What am I missing here?

You must have had an unlocked bootloader or something because this method does not work for people who took the OTA and weren't unlocked beforehand...
The thread name is kind if misleading. Most people on OTA have locked bootloaders and we can't unlock or root or s-off.

This thread is horribly misleading. If you recieved the phone on the ota or you updated your phone before you rooted it you are currently UNABLE to root your phone.

To the OP, it seems it would be wise to update the first post to address very valid member concerns. Would you take care of it please?
We definitely appreciate the discovery and willingness to share with the community, but we do want to prevent from the potential of causing problems to people's devices.
Thank you,

You would have had to unlocked your bootloader before you followed the guide you posted.
And I just realized that on top of this being misleading, it is pointless. You don't have to be on a pre ota rom to get s off. If you are unlocked then you can s off on the ota.

this should go in the DEV section lololololololololol
I'm sorry if this is misleading to some but as I stated in the OP I tried this one two devices (only one had an unlocked bootloader prior to attempting this) and a few other people that wanted to get S-off after receiving the OTA and it worked for them so any mis-information is unintentional

So you're claiming this works on a 2.xx droid DNA that had never been rooted or unlocked prior to this method?

My DNA was not rooted or had a prior unlocked bootloader at the time I took the OTA and I managed to unlock my bootloader, root then S-off and load Newt's Sense 5 ROM. I wouldn't have posted this thread if I didn't do it myself and that's why I sited the steps I used. The people that messaged me about it also tried it and it apparently worked for them prior to me making this thread.
I don't know what else to say unless you guys want screenshots..

We don't mean to be Debbie Downers, but there are just a few very knowledgeable devs working on getting the bootloader unlocked and have so far not managed to do that. What you claim to have done is what pretty much everybody is talking about on this forum and there's a bounty for it too.If you have anything showing you went from the latest 2.xx ota to fully unlocked we'd all give you hero status.

I'm not looking for hero status or any fanfare. I know what I did and wanted to help so I posted the steps that I followed to get unlocked because I didn't do anything special. I posted the method and the only way to prove it would be to get another DNA and do it again because posting a screenshot of my device now means nothing
If the steps I took helped others then I'm happy and if it doesn't then I'm sorry for unintentionally misleading some.
Before bashing or accusing me of trying to mislead I would suggest trying the steps I took because I have no reason to lie and didn't claim to do some masterful wizardry of hacking either

You are wrong about something here. You CANNOT unlock the bootloader of a phone that is on the ota and hasn't previously been unlocked. That is why there is a 500 dollar bounty for the person who finds the exploit that allows us to do that.

Ok. Like I said before I know what I did and the steps I took. All I can say is try it. Other than that there's no point in me going in circles.
Try the steps I took and hopefully it works

The step you listed is to unlock the bootloader. You provided no other info besides that. It is simply not possible to do that if you are on 2.04. If you did somehow manage to do that then explain it and go collect your 500 bucks.

I have a DNA, which I use as my second phone. I was messing around with it and I somehow re-locked the bootloader and turned S-On on. I still have root access, verified with root checker from Play Store. I can't remember exactly what I did when I got the phone... I had S-Off, unlocked bootloader, and root and was running Cryo for Droid v1.1.3. I tried updating to v1.2 and wifi wouldn't enable. I tried re-flashing the radio, but it wouldn't flash. That's when I started messing with it. As of right now, I am on 2.04xxx, running Cryo v.1.2 with root access, but bootloader is locked and S-On. Also, there is no custom recovery. No matter if I try installing TWRP or CWM. Whenever I try to boot into recovery red triangle with red exclamation point. If anyone knows a way to get me back on track I'd greatly appreciate it. Hopefully, they come out with 2.04xxx RUU.

You should be able to re-use the unlock.bin code you got from HTC-dev.com and unlock the bootloader again.
Is it me or does the title of this thread in the development section make you want to punch him in the face?

I tried that. I go through the process and choose to unlock on phone, but after when I check it says it is still relocked.

Thanks... It is weird. I got the bootloader re-unlocked and S-Off. I had been trying the same things and then yesterday I tried unlocking and S-Off and it worked. I haven't used my DNA is a couple of months. I don't know much about the DNA, my usual phone is a GSIII, which to me is a bit easier to mod. I'll be donating...
