I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE
* Steps:
1st You need to get to: alpharev.nl/x/beta/ to download the tool, and to get your “beta key” which you’ll get in a pop-up window in the same download page after you click the download link for (windows version).
The “beta key” is a must; the tool won’t work without it!
You’ll be asked to provide your phone “serial no.”, typically it should be something like HTXXETDXXXXX, and you can get it from:
Settings --> about phone --> phone identity.
Now, do the following:
1. Run latest version of HTC Sync on your PC and connect phone in HTC Sync mode and sync all your files. Remove HTC Sync and not the drivers.
2. Reboot phone.
3. Settings->Applications->Development->Check “USB Debugging”.
4. Run AlphaRevX and connect phone to PC in “Charge Only mode”.
5. AlphaRevX should recognize your phone and show your Device Serial number.
7. Type out the “key” in the AlphaRevX software, keeping in mind the upper and lower case letters and press enter (you can copy / paste the key).
8. AlphaRevX should start doing its job and you’ll get S-OFF in less than 90 seconds.
9. If it takes longer, just wait for the 15 minutes mark, if nothing, then reboot phone and retry.
(Some members got S-OFF after multiple tries)
Rooting the device:
Step 1 - Installing the USB drivers
Download USB drivers (here) and extract them on desktop. Turn off your wildfire and boot into HBOOT by holding the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button. Connect your phone to your PC and it will show "drivers installing" or similar there for Android device. When prompted, install the drivers by going to device manager and browsing to the folder where you extracted the drivers. Once installed, disconnect and reboot your phone normally.
Now you need to install the “Android bootloader interface”.
Connect your HTC wildfire to the PC and it will ask for drivers again, now go to device manager, click on unknown device “other devices”.
Click on update driver -> install from specific location -> No i will choose to install -> choose Android phone and click on “adb interface” -> click next -> when asked to install click on continue anyway, just install them.
Once done you will see your phone recognized as "Android bootloader interface".
Now disconnect your phone and go into:
Settings -> applications - > development - > enable USB Debugging.
Congratulations, the first step is complete.
go to:http://www.4shared.com/file/K3HTXWWd/GingerBreak-v120.html
and download the file...and put it anywhere in ur phone....
switch on your phone and install gingerbreak..
awitch on the app...
and then press root..
after it is done it will either reboot itself or you reboot it manually...
congrats your phone is now rooted..!!!!
Nice. I rooted my phone this way aswell!
Its usefull for people with newer HBOOT versions!
no need to do this so complicated...
just s-off using alpharev x, install clockwork mod recovery and start flashing ROOTED roms.
no need for gingerbreak. and if you want to root your current ROM, just use the su.zip
!!

Hi guys,
This is a step-by-step guide to update your Lenovo Vibe K5 (a6020a40) to the latest build S102 with VoLTE support, or basically to install VoLTE update on Vibe K5.
Since many guides & youtube videos tell different methods, I have come up with the best solution.
Requirements
-Lenovo Vibe K5 (a6020a40) (SD 415, 2GB RAM variant) running any ROM
-S034 firmware: https://docs.google.com/a/repairmymobile.in/uc?id=0B1hm-6TNn10IcUtHOWZLaUtzUEU&export=download
-OTA Zip to set Country as India: http://www.mediafire.com/file/j6icttemsrq266e/India.ota.zip
Please note that this will erase your data & internal storage
Also note: If you already are on S034 build with stock recovery installed & not rooted, then skip the steps 1-9.
Steps:
1) Download the S034 firmware file and extract it to some handy location (preferably desktop).
2) Go to the "Drivers' folder in the extracted files and install Lenovo USB Driver, and then install Qualcomm USB Driver.
3) Now to go to the "Tools" folder in the extracted files and install QPST.
4) Download the OTA zip to set country as India, and copy it to your device's external SD card.
4) Take backup of all your stuff (apps, messages, contacts etc). The next steps will wipe your data & internal storage, so if needed copy your internal storage to your PC or external SD card.
6) Open QFIL from Start Menu as administrator (Start Menu > All Programs > QPST > right-click on QFIL and click "Run as administrator")
7) Copy the "SW" folder in the extracted files, to the root of your C:\ drive in your PC. Otherwise, sometimes QFIL gives a "sahara" error while flashing.
5) Now power off your phone. Make sure its not connected to your PC. Remove your SD Card from the phone to be on the safer side. Once it is powered off, press the volume up & down buttons together and connect your phone to your PC. The screen should now be black & the notification led on your phone should turn red.
6) Now QFIL should show "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".
6) In QFIL, click Browse and go to C: drive > SW > Images and double-click on "prog_emmc_firehose_8929.mbn". Then click on "Load XML", and in the file selection window that opens, double click on "rawprogram0.xml" and on the next window, double-click on "patch0.xml"
7) Now click on "Download" button. This is the step that erases your data & internal storage. This step will take around 10-15 mins.
8) Once it shows "Download complete" with a blue text in the downloader log (bottom part of QFIL window), disconnect the USB and power on your phone. Since this is the first boot, it will take around 5-10 mins.
9) Now, once it is booted and it shows the welcome screen, power off your device.
10) Once your device is switched off, press Vol up + Vol down + Power buttons together until Lenovo logo appears. Now it should boot into Recovery mode.
11) Navigate to "apply update from sd card" using Vol up & vol down keys and press power button to select that option. Now navigate to the file "India.ota.zip" which you copied at the beginning and press power button to install. This will take 5-10 mins and again data will get erased (not internal storage). After installation the device will reboot automatically. It will take 5-10 mins to boot.
12) Now once it is booted, complete the setup guide, and make sure your device is connected to internet. And then go to Settings > About device > System updates. It should show a new update of 49 MB. Download it. Once it is downloaded, tap OK to install the update. This will again take 5-10 mins & will NOT wipe anything. After installation your device will automatically reboot.
13) Check if you have S102 build number (Settings > About device > Build number). If yes, then you're all done. Now VoLTE is enabled in your Vibe K5 A6020a40. If you want you can restore any backups to your device. :good:

- Or restore a community TWRP backup with TWRP recovery (https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860 see posts 2 & 3)
### With S-ON and keep device Unlocked
To find suitable backup for device, boot phone in Bootloader mode (Power + Volume-)
Look at your hboot version (hboot 3.19.0000 is most frequent)
Launch a fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Make sure IMEI is a valid number.
Look at your CID and MID values. Try to find exact same TWRP backups for your phone.
### Flash only exact model versions.
Then wipe all partitions and restore the correct TWRP backup an angel made for you.
- If TWRP restore fails, start with these posts :
You will need a Rom Update Utility (RUU) for your exact model version.
This is compatible with S-ON, will need to relock your Bootloader (save your Unlock_code.bin +++) and need original recovery

Hi, I updated pack with latest Magisk root version and checked download links.
For Windows 10 users, use HTC drivers version v4.17.0.001 - Download them from here - Zippyshare.com - HTC Mobile Driver v4.17.0.001.exe
Everything else works just fine. @djibe89 thank you.

Hi,
I'm at the stage of trying to unlock the bootloader. The phone restarts in fastboot mode but when i type in fastboot devices nothing happens.
and then if i skip that and type get_identifier_token. the return is waiting for any devices. and nothing happens.
What have I missed?
Thanks
i've since been able to get past this stage. I used htc driver 4.17. I'm now stuck on the token. cmd prompt keeps saying cannot load the file no such file or directory. but i'm so sure i have the file in the right folder

i've since been able to get past this stage. I used htc driver 4.17. I'm now stuck on the token. cmd prompt keeps saying cannot load the file no such file or directory. but i'm so sure i have the file in the right folder

Hi, when
Code:
fastboot devices
doesn't return anything, it means there is an USB driver problem.
You'll have to try to fix from Windows Device Manager.

Hi, the Driver installer from my pack (HTCDriver_4.2.0.001) sends an error during install, but then drivers finally install.

Hi, glad you liked it !
Enjoy your phone
I have done this on Windows 10/11 with the 8 Pro, 8T, and 9 Pro personally.Other members have had success with the OP5T, OP6T, OP7P, OP7T, OP8 and even a OP1 for @mawil1013 and somehow a Xiaomi Mi 9T lol
Spoiler: Backstory
After fighting this for about an hour, and trying everything I could think of, this was the only way I could get my T-Mobile 8T to show up while in fastboot mode.
I tried the below, and probably more...
Ensuring I had the latest fastboot version
Manually installing the bootloader driver from googles SDK
Several restarts
Just installing OnePlus' driver that come on the phone per-installed
To fix the issue, we are going to disable driver signing enforcement in Windows and then install the Unsigned OnePlus drivers.
Install the OnePlus drivers that are included with your phone.
They should show up as CD Drive: OnePlus Drivers when you just connect your phone to your computer.
I'm sure you can find the installation package somewhere online, but I don't have a good download source so I am not going to give out random links.
This will create a directory containing the USB driver. This will most likely be
C:\Program Files (x86)\OnePlus USB Drivers
In that folder there is a driver, but both when installed using the installer incuded with my phone, and a downloaded version, I ran into...
The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file. The file is likely corrupt or the victim of tampering.
To get around this we are going to disabled signed drivers on windows.
Select the “Start” button.
Type “startup”.
Select “Change advanced startup settings“.
Select “Restart now” under the “Advanced startup” area.
Once presented with the Advanced options select...
“Troubleshoot“ --> “Advanced Options“ --> “Startup Options“ --> “Restart“
After that, a menu will appear where you can press “7” on your keyboard to choose “Disable driver signing enforcement“.
Now Device Driver Signing should be disabled, allowing you to install any driver until you reboot, meaning we can install our unsigned OnePlus driver.
Pop open Device Manager
You can press windows + x to bring up a menu, then you can press m or select device manager for quick access
Boot your device into fastboot mode.
This should cause it to show up in device manager as "Andriod", with a yellow triangle
In device manager right click the "android" device
Then press the following options
Update driver --> Browse my computer --> Let me pick --> Have Disk
Navigate to the folder from earlier: C:\Program Files (x86)\OnePlus USB Drivers
Select OnePlus_android_winusb.inf and click okay
After that, OnePlus Android Bootloader interface should be selected. Go ahead and install it.
Congrats! Your device should start showing up in fast boot mode.
You sir are saint...I've been trying to get fastboot to recognize my OP6T for the last 8 hours. Thank you so much!
Make sure when you allow adb debugging in developer mode that you authorize the phone when using adb devices, otherwise you will not see fastboot when you try to use.
Thank you, that would have driven me crazy. It is crazy that it is 2020 and driver manufactures still don't sign their drivers some times.
There is no CD Drive show up....
find on internet a oneplus usb driver and installed....
then got this message trying to get the [oem get_unlock_code]
Code:
FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Thanks OP.
finally works...
Okay, I just figured out my mistake, but I'll leave it in case someone else stumbles across the same thing. The fix: choose your language, then choose "reboot to fastboot" and confirm that you're sure. You'll get to a screen with "Fastboot mode" in red near the top. Once there, run the get code command.

Thanks a lot @Mbektic. This seems so much harder than it needs to be and I wouldn't have been able to unlock my bootloader without your guide. Thanks again!
Wow I didn't even realize that I had helped people until now! I am so glad I could help you guys @bigd4ve @jefffeely and @Pain-N-Panic

Yes, I also had to disable device driver signing, then the phone showed up in the bootloader.. You can just open an admin command prompt, type "bcdedit /set testsigning on", REBOOT, then install the proper driver. This seems to be a problem with OOS11.
The easiest method for any newbie is to install , iobit driver booster , free.

I just cant thank as much as I have to! I couldnt find solution for months, I was using magisk module on old phone to use fastboot and it sucked. Now updated driver and works like charm. Thank you so much!
Thanks for making this thread. I couldn't believe I were having so many issues on my desktop, when I had managed to get everything right when I first got the phone(8PRO) on my laptop. I had adb & fastboot installed, then plugging in Kona w/ usb debug off allowed me to install the adb driver and then for fastboot(while in fastboot, using window's "device manager" I selected the Google usb driver I had downloaded, and finally for edl mode driver just in case (msm), I installed the qualcomm driver while in edl mode( whew). Anyway thanks,
I cannot believe I did not see this thread earlier...
Just finished solving the same problem after going nuts for a couple of hours.
It is most definitely just getting the PC to install the OnePlus drivers AND disabling the driver signing.
What a pain.

you've saved my sanity on oneplus5T after upgrading to Android Q 10. Thank you
I also struggled with this issue but found another solution. Once my phone was plugged in (can't remember if it was system or fastboot) I went to Windows Update and browsed the optional updates. One of the optional updates was a driver for android recovery. Installed it and it worked.

Between the OP and this post, I was finally able to get the drivers to work on my 8T (Sim Free- Carrier Unlocked) new phone from Oneplus. I spent several hours trying to determine what the issues were and then found this thread. I am successfully unlocked from the bootloader. Thank you both.

THANK YOU! This worked 100% for me, super easy too. Went to Windows Update, View Optional Updates, saw the Android External Device update, device showed in fastboot after installing.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! You're a legend, it works on my OnePlus 5T as well.

Thanks for this - I know its a little after the fact but 6+ months later this post has gotten me out of a fastboot hole with a oneplus 9. Now fully rooted only for this. Thanks again.
