I've gotten the token from the phone. Pasted it in the HTC website and submitted. The site states the submit was successful. I've gotten no email with the unlock file. I've checked inbox, spam, all other folders in my gmail account. I can't continue with the unlock process because I don't have the file. I'm using Hansoon2000's HTC Vivid All In One Toolkit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
Thanks for looking. However I sent the code to a different address and it came through fine. Must have been an issue with using gmail.

Hi,
firstly i understand that everyone is quite picky about using the search function to first find relevant posts. However i have gone through an immense amount of posts and still am unable to unlock my SGS.
I have the UK version
Samsung galaxy s i9000
locked to orange
i tried unlocking using the tool from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045
the error i get is shown below:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
my mobile is rooted using latest docs rom.
Also as i couldn't get this to work i purchased unlock code from eBay for 15 euros however they also refunded saying they couldn't find the unlock code.
I can't access the android market to install the 'pro app' because i don't have an orange sim card.
help would be greatly appreciated
I've done some searching myself, not so long ago, and apparently you need to flash your Galaxy S back to the stock rom it shipped with before using that tool!
I can't confirm it though, didn't try it myself.
Or try using Market Enabler to fake the identity of your phone to the market so you can access all the apps in the Market. There's a free app called Galaxy_S Unlock that I and some people had success with, read it's description first though and just do the steps in order.
Goodluck!
Hi all,
New here,have used this site to s-off root my old desire worked great. My new phone Incredible S has recently been updated and now im on 2.0.2 think it is boot loader. Been trying to use the Htc Dev tool to unlock bootloader and after going through the steps have been sent the code to unlock .However everytime i enter it i get the same message
error: cannot load 'Unlock_code.bin
The unlock code is in the same folder as the other 3 items they asked for , fastboot,adb,adbwinapi.dll
Ive looked everywhere and sadly the few posts ive seen that have fixed this havent said how just ended thread grrrr.
Ive made other folders and directed it to them but get same error. Even removed the (1) from the code they sent as saw a thread suggesting this.
Please can anyone help?

Make sure the spelling is correct and you are typing the name correctly. The filename is case sensitive.

Yep everything correct and ive re checked. This is seriously annoying ,never had probs like this rooting the Desire lol.
Hi everyone,
I'm having problems with the unlock page. After a bunch of searches, I just have more questiions.
1) It keeps saying 'Please input correct name'.
I can log into the forums - my username is wanfr01.
I'm fairly sure that's the name I'm supposed to use on the unlock application page.
Any idea what the problem is?
2) Is there a place to e-mail/post for an unlock request if the main unlock page isn't working?
3) Anything in particular I should give as a reason, or shouldn't give? Can I just say I want to install TWRP to make backups? (which is basically true)

Are you sure your phone is locked?
go here to verify it isn't locked first http://en.miui.com/thread-279195-1-1.html
I thought mine was locked but someone mentioned the phones come unlocked if you buy from a retailer so YMMV.
Try using your phone # (11231234567) then on the left of it change the number to 1 if you're in the USA or your country code and delete the 1. Or, use your name without any spaces. Another trick is to login to the forums and then go to the unlock site. http://en.miui.com/unlock/

By your numbers...
1) I was also confused by that field for name. Tried my name and tried Mi Mix ... don't recall which worked but just tired a few times and it eventually worked. It may be one of those page has the refresh on any 'mistake' things so try that.
2) Xiaomi mentions where to post if you don't get the code in X days, if it keeps acting up for you try that.
3) I put 'so I can root phone and customize to my liking' and was approved. No idea if there is a check on this.

Actually, I don't have the phone yet. It's on the way.
I could have swore some people on xda got their unlock "permission" prior to receiving their phone.
Since it can take a bit to get the unlock permission, I thought I would get the ball rolling.
I guess I'm wrong - I'll just wait to get the phone. Hopefully it's unlocked already.
Thanks!

If your phone has a vendor installed ROM then it's unlocked. Did you select or was there an option to have Play Store installed for you by the vendor you bought it from.

I had problems with the name ended up just putting first name in and it worked, although not for mix.
I've searched the fprum and googled every term I could think of. I posted a thread on the complaints/advice forum, with one response that was a further inquiry. Posted thread here: http://en.miui.com/thread-443657-1-1.html
Let me start by saying I had a max I requested/granted an unlock authorization, but I sold the max and never unlocked.
As you can see from the link, when I click the unlock request page (http://en.miui.com/unlock/) I am taken to the unlock page, as if I already received the unlock authorization for my Mix. I have not been able to apply, because of this, so there cannot be an authorization.
I've tried logging out of my MIUI account on both phone and PC. I've tried two other PC's (mine and wife's) with same results. I can't find anything close to this in my searches or on the complain/advice forum.
Last thing I could try is responding to the text from 5-6 months ago approving the unlock on the Max.
Anyne have a suggestion? I'd love to unlock the potential on my favorite device.
Thanks
If you have a Gmail Adress , try to use @googlemail.com instead of @gmail.com as your username. That was the key to success in my Case. I did not get a txt message
Does your phone have the global (multi language) rom installed when you received it or the Chinese one?.
Check it. Cuz if it has the global rom, then it is unlocked. I went thought the whole process to find out at the end that my phone was unlocked to begin with.
If you know how to do fastboot, you can check via "fastboot oem device-info"

It came with the Chinese stable ROM (8.0.11.0). I waited a few weeks after receiving before going for the unlock.
By global ROM, do you mean the Chinese developer ROM? The only other global ROM, I know of is the rooted one, but I need the unlock approval first.

As other members have noted the unlock appears to be per account, not per phone. I think it was @underlines that shared this concept. He was granted unlock four years ago on another phone and has never applied again.
I suggest you just go ahead and unlock your Mix.
Remember to activate Developers Options, remember to enter your credentials in the MIUNlock area in Developers settings.
And if you are going to install TWRP don't forget to root.

This givs me an idea: Since the lock is per account, I'll just create another account with a different email address.
Thanks, I'll keep plugging at it.

You miss my meaning, if you were granted permission to unlock the Max then you should already have Mi Account permission to unlock.
I suggest you just try to unlock your Mix with your current Mi Account

Yes, I can confirm it's per Xiaomi Account. You can then unlock any phone linked to your account.
hello!
planning to install lineage 19 or 20 on heart.
however i'm already having problems with the very first requirement which is the unlocked bootloader.
i have already sent a request to the lenovo site for the sn.img file but i still haven't received any e-mail from them (request sent from pc browser more than a month now).
tried different e-mail addresses and browsers but to no avail.
whenever i try to send request via phone browser, after filling up the required fields, the large blue send button becomes unresponsive.
apparently i'm not the only one having issues unlocking their bootloader for the first time.
has lenovo dropped support for unlocking bootloader on heart?
any workaround?
Did you sign in 1st with your Lenovo account? you need to do that before adding the details
