To anybody that knows about these forums,
I have been trying to unlock the bootloader for the new HTC One from Verizon, I went to the HTcdev website, and I follow all the instructions step by step, I paste the code into the box, then it tells me some code error 160 mid not allowed, so now I have no clue what that means, I check out the websites and they all have similar instructions on unlocking the bootloader, but they all worked and none of them got the error 160 mid not allowed, I check out the error forums, and they are just as frustrating because they get detailed into what the reason in the code is, but considering that the need for the code to be all 1111 doesn't help when the phone won't even unlock through the htcdev site.
Has anyone else come up against this particular error and if so how was it resolved? Any help is greatly appreciated:fingers-crossed:

I'm getting the following error when trying to unlock the bootloader:
Unlocking Bootloader Failed!
Sorry it didn't work out. Here's why:
Required Resources
We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.
Error Code: 173.
Error Reason: Check Rule Fail with exception.
Anyone else getting this? Maybe it's just HTCDev site, I did see someone else in the HTC Rezound forum having the same issue today.

You could try to unlock using the revone tool also used to get s-off. Haven't done it myself as by the time the tool became available I had already unlocked via HTCDev, but I read from several people around here who successfully unlocked their bootloader that way. Try searching in the Android Revolution HD thread

I think Verizon has blocked HTCdev from unlocking the bootloader.

Verizon has bootloader unlock from htc blocked. You need to find someone with a java card to give you s-off. Once you have s-off you can unlock bootloader and you pretty much have a brick proof phone. There are trusted people in the verizon htc forums you can send your phone to and they will s-off it for $25. Or you can buy a java card for yourself for $1000. I would go with plan A. This works for other carrier phones too whom have newer Hboot. I wish I had $1000 to float, because new phones will start shipping with new hboot and you could really make some money.
So I searched this site for quite a while and have not yet found a solution to this problem, so the only thing left to do was to post this.
I have an HTC one running 4.3 on Verizon.
The first problem occurs when I try to post my unlock token to htcdev. When I do I get the "Mid not allowed: error 160".
So to fix this I learned that I need to change my CID to be something like "111111". The weird part is, in order to change my CID I need to be unlocked and have s-off.
You see my problem? I can't unlock because on my CID, and I can't change my CID because I'm not unlocked....
Does anyone have a solution? I'm sorry if the solution is already posted, I just can't find it!
Thanks!

I've tried to use rumrunner but I have gotten an error on the end. I'm not sure why I've been getting the error but based on some of the posts that I have read, it might be because I'm using android 4.3?
Has anyone on this site unlocked/s-off/rooted an HTC one one Verizon running ota 4.3?

your asking in the wrong place ... ask in the Verizon forums you'll have much more luck
Oh I gotcha, I thought I posted it there. I guess I will more or less duplicate this post over there unless a moderator wants to move this thread
I have NonSense v1.03 on my cricket device. Called up Cricket recently and got the unlock code which I was unable to enter/use on the device as I never received the locked-provider prompt, only an sim icon with a lock once the phone booted up.
I thought this was due to the rom installed, upon searching on the forums, I found many threads where people were trying to unlock their CDMA devices, not much on GSM. That led me to find this post and the third post in this thread stating I need to re-lock the bootloader to flash the original RUU (RUU_A11_UL_K44_DESIRE_SENSE60_AIO_Aio_Wireless_US_1.11.506.8) file so I can proceed to enter the code and unlock the device.
So, are these the correct steps? Is there another way to bring up the prompt to unlock the device?
