Only Nexus Devices can be unlocked this way.
What should you do?
Download Super One Click(Google is your friend)
Get your devices drivers and root your phone with Super One Click
Remember: Only Nexus's can be unlocked via fastboot...
<<<<<<<<<<<<<Hit Thanks /Danke/ Merci

Thnx for the soltn bt there's more
Thanks for the solution. But actual problem is that i wanted to flash custom rom that is bricking my phone. Tried gb 2.3 on my froyo but it kept crashing on next immidiate boot. Isn't bootloader denying to flash that rom, is it? That's my reason for unlocking my bootloader.also, is it the locked carrier that prohibiting the rom to operate or my phone that isn't upgradable. I can't figure that out. Plz give me another way to flash custom rom on my rooted phone. Thanx for info!waiting for the solution

Too complicated...

The million dollar question is where are you going wrong?
Do you have a custom recovery e.g Clockworkmod for your phone?
If not follow instructions here
Is the ROM specifically for your device?
Try CM 7
Is you bootloader really unlocked?
Try Z4root for the job
Try flashing the new rom via custom recovery and make sure you have this prerequisites. You are a big boy, you know what to do!
PS: If you want to unlock your phone(Locked Carrier) try this

nice work
:cyclops:Yes i'm impressed. nice work with the contact details. sorry it took me so long, i followed your advice and downloaded the cm7. only problem i faced with it that, my recovery flashed a message that the rom was made for m860. i tried to edit that rom in kitchen by using my boot.img. but still no success.can you please suggest what should i be modifying to convert that rom into mine.:good:

Being stuck on the HTC white splash screen generally indicates there is an issue with the currently loaded kernel. Essentially, the currently loaded kernel is not compatible for any number of reasons.
Depending on your "unlock" method, there are two methods to restore/load an alternative kernel.
1) If using the HTC unlock method, fastboot mode will have to be used to load a different kernel.
2) If using the Revolutionary unlock method, the traditional custom recovery mode should allow a different kernel to be loaded.
There are lots of guides posted all around on how to recovery in both of these situations, but if you need more guidance, post back which unlock method was used.
Hope that helps!

It could help to know what recovery you're using. Is it Clockworkmod, Team Win Recovery Project, or something else? Make sure you have your recovery set to skip MD5 sum verification.
Also, the kernel is what drives the backbone of the phone; Chad Goodman has a chart that might help you in the first post of this thread.
You could also try flashing the stock ROM to see if that helps (sorry for the lack of a link, I'm short on time).
And don't worry too much, chances are in your favor that you didn't brick your phone; it's pretty hard to do thanks to HTC.
Also, if you have used HTC Unlock, try the fastboot command 'fastboot boot (file name of your recovery image)'. So, for example if the filename was "revovery.img", your command would be "fastboot boot revovery.img". Then try and wipe your phone/ install ROMs.
million thankz
ill start working.
hope i will succeed.

Imposible flashear Any Recovery

Hi, I have an Amaze 4G with ICS 4.0.3, and I want to change the rom for space in the internal memory and battery life, but it has the android 3e recovery, and will not let me flash any recovery or roms or any ZIP, always gives me the error "e: signature failure". I root, I replaced the recovery of the / system / bin for one of this forum, as amended, but still all the same. I visited all the xda forums and HTCMania, I'm Spanish and I can hardly understand English, but I have not found a way to flash without me signing error android 3e.
Help, please

Is your bootloader unlocked?

Its really hard to understand but I don't think you unlocked your boot loader and flashed a recovery.

How sure are you that you're rooted? Anyways, if you just used an app to root, it won't be possible to flash a custom recovery until you unlock your bootloader.
hello, I have not posted before, it broke my wifi.
Turns out my ruby, is a Chinese clone, if you have not unlocked the bootloader, but try to flash the recovery.img with flashtools and I did, but it was starting to 3e, so try flashing boot.img, a boot.img flashtools accept, and did, but when you restart the phone, it stays in green android screen with black background.
Any idea?

You honestly lost me there, if your device is a Chinese clone, why would you attempt to flash files from this device to begin with? You'll need the stock files for that device to recover it.
of course, but i buy an Htc Amaze 4g and not a chinese phone. i dont know that thing, and now flash recovery.img and boot img compatibles with htc ruby, with flashtools and my phone fake is brick. Only on to android green and hold in that screen.
Today, i open new thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916935.
i am not know this phone is a fake.
somebody can help me.
Thanks.
otherwise, a friend too buy the same phone. I can get the archives necessary to recovery my phone?
I did not know it was a clone, I bought it as HTC Amaze 4G:
http://www.fastcardtech.com/goods.php?id=7080
but when I hear that is a clone someone contact the customer service, and gave me the link to download the stock ROM from my phone.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/lgkfyw
So I made my query in this forum. From what I have seen, this MOBILE, carries a EVO 4g rom, so I'll try to find solutions for this.
I appreciate all the responses received.
thanks

Make sure that your bootloader is unlocked and that your flashing gsm ROMS meant for the dream not the cdma version of the g1.

In order to flash custom ROMS your devices bootloader must be unlocked. By default the g1 ships with a locked bootloader that prevents you from installing custom ROMS. You can go to htcdev.com/bootloader select HTC dream from the device list and follow the instructions. Let me know if you have any more questions.

I would also suggest try reformatting your SD card, then putting a ROM on the SD card that you know is compatible with your phone and has worked for you in the past and flash that.
Didnt work
So, will anybody help me?
At this stage I would recommend that you try and re flash your device back to stock, by installing the stock ROM that it shipped with from the factory. By doing this you will have a clean slate to start from and can then try to root the device and flash a custom ROM after that.

After you have done that move onto the section Rooting the HTC Dream, then once you have completed that section move onto Installing a Custom Recovery Image and Amon_Ra's Recovery: Recommended. After you complete these steps you will be ready to flash a custom ROM, here is how to flash Cyanogenmod 6 for the HTC Deam. Let me know if you still have questions .

Corrupt recovery (and locked bootloader?)

I tried to update my oneplus x to a new version of resurrection remix (the android 7.1 version) by flashing through twrp. Long story short I tried to update the recovery twrp and also update my bootloader but it all went to **** and now my phone is bricked. If I try and boot the phone into either the OS or into recovery I get a boot loop where the oneplus logo appears, the phone vibrates then reboots. I can get into fastboot but when I try and flash either a rom or recovery it tells me I can't because my 'device is not unlocked'. I know my bootloader was unlocked previously but am thinking that by trying to install a new rom it has re-lock or something and I'm not sure if this means my phone is now a paper weight..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
edit: This problem is fixed. However twrp won't flash/boot correctly now..
Follow this to the letter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3272108
I did basically the same thing you did and flashed a rom that was compatible with the old bootloader only and it "locked" my bootloader which made the recovery and ROM useless. It took me a few hours to get the device to actually be recognized correctly by the computer and program but it worked. You may also need to google since I remember needing to download basically the same program but from a different site.

I did basically the same thing you did and flashed a rom that was compatible with the old bootloader only and it "locked" my bootloader which made the recovery and ROM useless. It took me a few hours to get the device to actually be recognized correctly by the computer and program but it worked. You may also need to google since I remember needing to download basically the same program but from a different site.

Thanks for the reply! I think I may have come across this but wasn't sure if I'd get myself into more trouble since my fastboot is working (it says it's for devices who have nothing). Rekcon it's still my best option?
Edit:
I tried it and worked perfectly. Thanks heaps!

You're welcome! Like I said I was in the same situation. It kept rebooting and when I got into fastboot my heart sank when it said "Device is locked"
So I now have recovery working as well as fastboot (unlocked this time). But I cannot for the life of me get twrp to work correctly. One version out of like 5 I've tried works but won't flash any roms; I read that could be from a bad version.. All others seem to flash from fastboot but when I try to boot I get the dtb not found error. I don't understand why I cant get it to work, this should be the easy part

dtb not found error means its not compatiable with your bootloader. Did you try official twrp ? And you ever updated to new bootloader?
update your bootloader first, http://forum.xda-developers.com/onep...t3478917/page1

I'll give it a shot. I am using official twrp yeah - just seems weird because even the old one that used to work fine isn't working. That link doesn't work is this one ok?
