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

https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-windows-3859397.zip

go

ohwew

what

they do not exist in that one either

https://gyazo.com/e15eb1f8e6e99152c12fa24cd2c74d28
