ok, I am trying to unlock my shitty htc pico's bootloader but the guide on htc's site is outdated because the android sdk dev kit has been updated, my phone doesn't get recognized by htc sync manager as well so, is there a way to unlock bootloader? :^)

are you sure you're in the OS and not the bootloader for the moment

are you sure you have the drivers installed correctly

what do you mean w/ os? normal boot?

yeah

normal OS

with USB debugging enabled

If I enable it, I cannot access the sd card, is that normal?

that's not normal, but just remove it for the moment

in case it gets wiped when you unlock the bootloader

okay, I enabled USB debugging, I unmounted the SD

right

now follow the steps off XDA

and I installed the java runtime enviroment, htc sync manager

but I don't get it w/ the google android SDK

the 2 gb file?

https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html

usually it's recommended to install android studio for the entire SDK

I did that part

the steps say on xda: unlock your phones bootloader

what do I have to do w/ those binaries

yep, those require you to be in fastboot mode instead of the normal OS

copy them to a directory and open them

fastboot allows flashing of the bootloader and other core parts of the operating system

okay, so I have to go to the bootloader?

just follow their steps 1, 2 and 3

ok I did step 1 to 5, at step 5 I get the error: adbwinapi.dll missing

which one did you download

the windows version

Im on windows 10

https://gyazo.com/864bca20f0ba290b72a9c0646fd5ab48

copy adb.exe, adbwinapi.dll and fastboot.exe from the sdk folder

into the shit from HTC Dev

the thing is, they do not exist

I installed it 2 times
