Is your bootloader locked? You cannot run the RUU unless the bootloader is locked.

[Q] Unlock bootloader without HTC Dev?

I tried search for something that could answer this question I have, but couldn't find anything, so i'll ask it here.
Do we HAVE To use HTC Dev to unlock this device's bootloader? I saw there are 2 S-OFF methods available, do those unlock the bootloader?
I'm coming from an EVO 3D and I remember just using the Revolutionary method with HBOOT 1.40.000 and it was a smooth process but once new versions of the same device came out, people had to use the HTC Dev to unlock before a workaround came out.
If there isn't any other method, is there any production of such a method where you don't need to use HTC Dev?
Again, i'm just now switching over to this section of the forums (after watching the progression for a bit already) and just trying to get an idea of what's going on with this device.
Thanks!
P.S: the reason i ask this is because i'm not sure what AT&T's outlook is on unlocked\rooted devices for any warranty purposes. I've returned a device to S-ON, reinstalled the stock RUU and returned a device (my Sprint EVO 3D) and didn't have a problem, but I don't know how AT&T is and this new HTC One device.

Using HTC Dev is the only way....all the toolkits in this forum will direct you to the HTC Dev website as they issue the key in which you need to unlock your bootloader.

If you're on hoot 1.44, you can use revone to unlock and/or S-off.

Smh. S-off via revone method for sure unlocks bootloader without Htcdev.

Smh. Not everyone can know everything about every device at all times. Questions lead to things that couldn't be discovered with looking around and reading.
Thanks for your response though.
So this is what you 2 are referencing, right?

Ah ok. My Mistake.
Thanks to all that responded! I have now achieved S-OFF, bootloader unlocked status, TWRP 2.6.0.1 installed, now doing a NANDROID backup before installing any new ROMs.

Changing CID

Hi all.
Can just flashing a custom rom change the CID of your phone?
Mt CID used to be H3G_001 but after flashing ARHD my CID is now HTC_001.
Cheers.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

no it shouldnt, you must have done something else to change it. are you S-OFF?

Nope not s-off.
Other than unlocking bootloader, flashing custom recovery and ARHD I've done nothing towards changing the cid.

Where are you getting the Cid information from?

You get it from the bootloader - when you power up your phone press volume down and you will be presented with it, one of the details will be the cid number

[Q] Unlocking Bootloader: FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)

I am trying to unlock the bootloader on my HTC One. I've gotten to Step 12 on the HTC Dev's Unlocking Bootloader Instructions and recieve the below error when trying to flash Unlock_code.bin.
FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)​
Has anyone experienced this? I can't seem to find any answers relevant to the HTC One. I read somewhere that you can run the RUU and then try to flash the Unlock code. What version of the RUU would I use? My HBOOT is v1.55 if that makes any difference.
Thanks for the help,

I got "RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00.1216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304_signed"
Would there be any issues using the RUU to go to this image version, unlocking my bootloader, and then upgrading back to 3.04 (the image my phone is currently on)?

Often people manage to copy paste the number with an extra space or carriage return. That breaks it in this fashion.

Using the same unlock code I was able to get it to work in a different folder. Blew my mind.

Try like this. First check fastboot is working with
Code:
fastboot devices
You should get an output displaying your devices serial no.
Now type the first part of the command leaving a space on the end
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken
Then drag and drop the Unlock_code.bin in to the command window to automatically complete the command with the full file path. And hit enter

FYI
Changing your CID requires S-OFF, chances is that if the OP would have S-OFF, he would already have an unlocked bootloader...
SuperCID and bootloader unlock aren't related at all.

Can't find software update in menu

I just got my brand new unbranded HTC One here in Dubai. After starting the phone, I went to the 'about' phone section to know the current Android OS (4.1.2) and do an update but I can't find 'software update' in the menu. My S/N is FA344S901281.
I forgot to mention that on the Tell HTC, it was written "this is a test device". Please I need help with this problem.

So you bought a used device?
Go into the bootloader by longpressing power + volume down till it reboots...still hold the buttons still the bootloader appears.
What does it state at the top.
Locked or unlocked?
Seems there's a custom rom on your device?
To fix it, you could simply run a RUU to restore to stock.

It is a brand new device. It says "locked". M7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH; CID-11111111; HBOOT-1.54.0000; RADIO-4A.17.3250.14; OS- 5.29.401.13; eMMC-boot 2048MB; Jun 22 2013, 00:54:00 12857

Can anyone help out or explain?

This is not a new device.
Hate to be the bearer of bad new but im afraid if it has CID of 11111111 that means your handset has been hacked to have the security turned
off the CID (Customer ID) changed to a universal one and then the more than likely a reverse engineered hboot to reset the tampered flag and set the HBOOT back to **LOCKED**
What network do you want to be on and which country do you live in and i might be able to guide you through it.

CID is Carrier ID, keep it as 11111111 (SuperCID), download CIDGetter from Play Store, once it sees SuperCID, it will pull the original CID from a secondary partition, then you will know where your phone came from.

It means it was s-off from manufacturer.

nope, 100% used phone (or at least the guy at the shop did it), you may get an s-off device (highly unlikely) but not SuperCID. download CIDGetter and tell us what your real CID is

It says CID is 11111111 from CID getter.

oh, the guy is good!! he probably changed CIDs in all partitions.
okay, so here's what your gonna have to do:
1- post a "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and s/n)
2- post a screenshot of bootloader
3- post a screenshot of Settings -> About -> Software information
4- where/what do you want your phone to be

@nkk71 could you put me through the steps on how to do each of the tasks.

Hey man, dont take this the wrong way, I really mean no offense, but it seems you are not familiar with what I posted, so I don't think you should be attempting this.
I would recommend you take it back to the shop (or any experienced shop), and they can fix it for you.
Again, no offense intended.

(4) I will be using the phone in Nigeria on Etisalat network.

Trust me when I say: go to a phone shop, and let them fix it
if you're not familiar with adb sdk, fastboot, custom recovery, etc. you should not be doing this. someone with a little experience in the phone shop, could have your phone perfect in less than half an hour.

It definitely appears to have been tampered with prior to you buying it
As @nkk71 says, the phone the chances of the phone being s-off are slim, and there is no way the phone would have that CID.
Also, the hboot is version 1.54, and your android version is 4.1.2 - the hboot for that should be 1.44 i think?
Take it back - demand a refund

Unfortunately due to your network and location i doubt their will be an RUU for your device so you going to have to do a bit of leg work to get latest updates on your phone.
Give me 5 minutes and I will post a guide on what you need to do.
