Also please help me promote this thread if you see people with the intentions of bootloader unlocking.:
It seems that there is a ~50MB OTA being pushed to those who requested the bootloader unlock, before you download and install the OTA, we need you to capture the download link for it, and to download it for us. We need to capture these OTAs for wider opportunity to get better development for the phone.
I'll keep bumping this thread up since this is super super super important AND there is not high visibility or communication about it.
When you receive an OTA notification, DON'T download it. To capture the OTA, follow the steps in this post:
http://forum.le.com/in/index.php?threads/how-to-capture-ota-url.1875/
From @anks329, his steps are the same as the ones in the post so it should work, it is the same steps as the post above but simplified:
1.- Connect phone to computer
2.- Make sure drivers are installed
3.- Run ADB logcat
4.- check for update
5.- break the logcat process
6.- save the output into a text editor
If it doesn't work and this doesn't get you the link, don't install the OTA! you can still clear the OTA file and re-download it multiple times, this is NOT a "only 1 chance" the OTA will stick to your device until you install it.
Space saved for whatever
This one too just in case...
Hope more people see this and we can find out so we can all do it.
---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------
Anyone submitted a request but haven't unlocked it yet? Please be two people please...
I followed the steps and tried to search for the OTA link, but no dice from what I see in the text file.
Would you mind uploading the text file somewhere?

Well, nice try, did you already installed it? I think there is a way to wipe it and try again or to extract the OTA file...

http://forum.le.com/in/index.php?threads/how-to-capture-ota-url.1875/.
I think the second one is right which instructs you to click on the download button, that should generate the download link, either way the instructions are nearly the same except after you start the logcat I think you should click the download button otherwise I don't see how the OTA link would generate.
This is the process that I used to capture the first OTA, it may work for this one as well:
Connect phone to computer
Make sure drivers are installed
Run ADB logcat
check for update
break the logcat process
save the output into a text editor
Are we sure the URL WILL be logged? Why can't we try a networking approach such as sniffing for the requests? There's probably an app that creates a local VPN for this.
Something like this?

It does work, many many people have done this, for several brands, it's an android process not a ZTE process, someone already used the method in OP (the updated as of right now) to capture the previous OTA.

desudecchi just did it, and he said he couldn't find it logged anywhere. I'm just saying, an alternative method might be needed if it has to come to that.

Hey I have tried everything Form unrevoked 3 also to revolutionary I really am fed up of this i want 2 install custom roms So please Can Anyone Help me with a detailed anwser or a link to a forum where by which i can root my phone software
This is probably what you're looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159237
Keep in mind that Revolutionary is a newer version of a program that was called AlphaRev X. So where this guide references AlphaRev X, just pretend it says Revolutionary.
Never mind
Just wondering were you able to obtain root???
Root
I was able to obtain root by using alpharev it installs Clockword Mod recovery after getting s-off... if this thread gets enough comments i will make a tutorial

Link to download unrEVOked modified usb driver not valid
The link provided in the first step only leads to "The requested URL /recovery/android-usb-driver.zip was not found on this server."
I've been trying to ROOT my HTC Aria (AT&T) for quite some time now. My software is 2.2.2.
All I need is a new link to download the unrEVOked modified usb driver and I'm pretty sure I can move forward with this.
Thanks for all your help thus far!
I don't believe you need the "unrEVOked modified USB driver" for Revolutionary. If for some reason you do need it (I haven't rooted in a long time so I don't remember for sure), you should be able to download them from here: http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php?id=public:windows_hboot_driver_install

Yeah, you don't need them.
Install error
I took your advice; I ran unrEVOked as an administrator without having to download the usb drivers. Only problem is that unrEVOked keeps running into an "internal error" . What should I do now?
Thank you for your patience with me!

You cannot use unrEVOked to root the Aria running 2.2.2. You have to use revolutionary: http://revolutionary.io/. Guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159237 (same link as post #2).
Also, make sure you install the fastboot drivers first. (These are not the same thing as the "unrEVOked modified USB driver" mentioned before, which you don't need.) The ones you will need are here: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe . Just install this, then run Revolutionary, and it should go pretty smoothly.
The link let me download the executable but once I double clicked on it, my computer just sat there. HELP! Thank you!

Do you have HTC Sync installed?
I had it installed originally, but I uninstalled it. I remember reading on some tutorial that I need the drivers, so I guess it's partially there. Is that what's holding me back?
---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------
Jesus rollerblading Christ! I think it worked! Revolutionary disappeared after reading "success". My phone was left on the HBoot screen, though. I rebooted immediately to see if it worked. I;m not quite sure how to test it. If my phone has been rooted, how do I move all of my apps to my SD card so that the "low space" icon disappears?

If you have the HTC Sync drivers, then you should be good to go.
The way to verify if the process was successful is:
1) Turn the phone completely off.
2) Hold the 'volume down' button, then press the power button, then after a second or two, release the 'volume down' button.
3) Near the top of the screen, there is a line that reads "LIBERTY PVT SHIP". If it says "S-OFF" on that line, then Revolutionary was successful. If it says "S-ON" then you were NOT successful and you should try it again.
4) To return the phone to normal, press power button when "FASTBOOT" is selected. Then press 'volume down' once to select 'REBOOT' and press power button.
FANTASTIC! It worked. Now, what exactly am I allowed to do differently since my phone is rooted? And hoe would I transfer all of my apps to my SD card?

Technically you don't have root yet. If you want to keep your current ROM and just root it, then follow the directions in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680 . Scroll down to where it says "To root:" and follow those instructions. I suggest making a backup before you do anything else, for which there are also directions listed on that post.
Apps2SD is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790786 . But I think you have to install a custom ROM to use it. I don't really know; I suppose you should look through that thread for details on that.
Okay, what if I wanted to install a custom ROM? Do you have any suggestions? I feel like a blind man shopping for colored shirts. Which will run the smoothest? Are there different ROMs that specialize in different things? Oh, and most importantly, how?

If you want to flash a custom rom, then flash it . CyanogenMod 7 (7.x) seems to be the fastest/smoothest rom for the Aria. There are different roms; see here: http://theunlockr.com/category/roms-2/android-roms-2/htc-aria-roms/ (you'll just notice a different in speed and visuals for the most part). All you need to do to flash a rom is boot into ClockworkMod recovery, make a nandroid backup (recommended), wipe data (depends on what rom but is still recommended), then flash it ('install zip from sd'). For a better guide, see here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Aria:_Full_Update_Guide and scroll down to "Method via Recovery". It's basically the same for all roms.

Nope, I have no idea what these applications do, but a quick search on the forums basically leads to the conclusion that they're not ready for 4.3.
Given the build you're running, you're stuck with SELinux Enforcing since you can't replace the kernel. You'll need to find something else to do whatever you're trying to do.

Yes it is. You can just flash the stock firmware with Odin.
So I see some people have tried this, can anyone post screens hots, or results. Is this confirmed to work? No one actually specifically said they were successful.
Hi. I am rather new to this, so please keep this in mind when I tell you what I have done.
I have a Huawei Y6 Elite. I unlocked the boot loader successfully and then tried to flash TWRP via fastboot. Somehow in this process I have flashed it to the boot partition. Now it boots to TWRP - ONLY. I can enter the recovery mode in the phone but that doesn't offer much.
The phone is NOT rooted.
Please, can someone offer me some kind of solution...??
Is it possible to flash the original firmware via TWRP and start again? If so, can someone PLEASE point me to a link to download it.
The firmware version I need is Huawei Y6 Elite LYO-L02 C718B123.
Any help would be appreciated incredibly. Thank you.
Follow this link.. Hope.. you will find your stock rom..

And if you find the stock rom...
Then
extract the zip file which contains the rom. you'll find a folder name dload
send this dload folder to your sdcard's root directory
put the sdcard in your phone
now power on your device by pressing Vol+, Vol- and Power button at the same time.
it will start installing the official rom
Note: It will only work with Stock Recovery.
If you don have stock recovery then
Download Huawei Update Extractor
Extract the Recovery from downloaded UPDATE.APP in dload folder
put the recovery in your fastboot folder
flash the Stock recovery using fastboot
Thanks for responding.
I did follow the link and use the firmware finder, however I can't work out how to download any firmware versions.
Also I did not have any luck with the update extractor.
Is there a slightly more simplified way you can explain it. I can't seem to get my head around it.
Again, thanks for any and all help. It is greatly appreciated.

Hicloud is an ota not the full firmware
Did it work
Hey sorry for such a delayed response.
No it did not work.
Hi helijoy,
This might be quite late, but I can help you if you can give me your /system image. If you're certain you have TWRP on your boot partition, I can give you stock boot. To extract /system, go into TWRP>Mount, select System, make sure you have adb set up (google it if not) and do these commands (from adb):
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/system.img
exit
adb pull /sdcard/system.img C:/
(replace C: with where ever you want to save it to).
Then upload the file (system.img) to something like mega or google drive and post the link here.

Hi helijoy,
system is already selected so you do not have to do anything else. Just follow the rest of the instructions from your computer with your phone plugged in and booted to TWRP.
Thanks~

Hi moonlighter,
Can you please link to which root checker app you used? Did you remember to open SuperSU first and upgrade binaries? If not, please do so. After that's done, clear data of the root checker and try again. Also, if possible, try another root checking app.
Awaiting your response,

Hi moonlights,
As I already have said, ensure your SU binaries are up to date by opening SuperSU. And, if it's not too much to ask for, can you please go to TWRP, backup system and upload it somewhere? I was messing around with system and now I'm kind of stuck. It would be greatly appreciated if you could do this, as I have an an unusable phone.
Thanks again,

Ok... I think I must be doing something wrong.
I am sure I have ADB setup correctly though.
How exactly do you "do those commands" from ADB?
Sorry for the dense questions.
Cheers.

Hi helijoy,
You said you have already used fastboot to flash TWRP. Now all you need to do is boot into TWRP, plug it in to your computer and run the commands I gave you exactly like how you ran fastboot flash recovery ......

Hi again helijoy,
Another thing you can do is go to TWRP>Backup and backup everything (if you don't have any space left, just do recovery, boot and system; does are the important ones). Take this backup, upload it to something like MEGA or Google Drive and post the link here. To get this backup, do the steps in TWRP, and then connect it to your computer. Open explorer, go to the phone in This PC, ang check both Internal Storage and MicroSD Card. It will be in the TWRP>Backups folder, and the folders name will have a date and time.just upload this entire folder and post the link here.
Thanks,

hi,
I have used this resource to try to root my device since i want to install xprivacy lua.
Sadly 4pda is not downloadable for me so i used this instead unofficialtwrp.com/motorola-one-zoom-root-twrp/
Bootloader is already unlocked and then I flashed the recovery.img.
When I enter the recovery the TWRP is sucked and does not even start. It freezes up in the start screen (no buttons at all. just logot the logo and names).
Am I doing something wrong ?
sadly I can not download the one from 4pda since the link is down and i can not speak Russian.
Thanks in advance
I have the same issue. It stops on the TeamWin splash screen, when loading into recovery mode.
I cannot remember where I saw it, but I think I've seen somewhere that the files on uoTWRP is for XT2010, and my phone is XT2010-1, and I'm considering if that's the problem.
Currently setting up Debian on one of my laptops, and will attempt to compile TWRP myself, to see if that might work
According to this link the post is from idiots, who just steal someone else's work and do not know how to do everything correctly, or just trolling people, but most likely just make money from the fact that people go to their site.

Why can't you access the 4PDA site? Try using VPN. Or register on this site.

I can access the site but on every link there I get an error 404 . Register is not easy because of the captcha... Maybe you can help? I need the following files:
TWRP-3.3.1_Zoom_neno-nemo_RETEU_PPHS29.59-51-3.img
Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_01.19.2020.zip
Or any other link, where I get those files or a guide for rooting.
Thanks!
