Hi I have a problem I'm wondering if anyone can offer any suggestions.
I previously locked my bootloader and took an OTA which brought my Hboot up to 1.54. Now when I try an unlock the bootloader as I'm hoping to use the rumrunner exploit to S-off nothing happens
When I push the unlock token it says:
sending 'unlocktoken' (0Kb) writing, unlock token check successful OKAY. But nothing further happens. No further do you want to proceed....etc..the phone just stays in Fastboot.
I've got an unbranded international HTC.
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions?
Cheers
Did you try with another unlock-code.bin?
Have you requested this with 1.54 hboot right?
I've got this issue too. Ota took it to 1.54 and now the unlock.bin seems to have no effect. I can't s-off, can't root, can't flash GPE ROM.

I'm kinda new to IncS, cause I had Desire untill a few days ago and I have a lot of experience with this things on it.
So what's my point, I'm about to unlock bootloader over htcdev cause I have ICS sense 3.6 (www_asia_hk build 4.10.708.1 with 2.02 hboot so htcdev is the only option as I could find), and my question is will I be able to get it back to factory state (with LOCKED sign) with ruu if I have to get the phone back to the seller for waranty purpose?
Don't jump on me, I tried the search but all the answers I could find were incomplete.
Thanks in adwance.

You will be able to RELOCK the bootloader, but as long as you have a RUU that has unlockable bootloader in it installed, there will always be a tell-tale sign because the HBOOT screen will show "RELOCKED" instead of "LOCKED".
Also, part of the unlocking procedure at HTCDEV.com requires that you acknowledge that this process 'could void your warranty' and HTC will have a record that you unlocked the bootloader.
I don't worry about HTC cause I got sellers warranty, so repair won't be performed by the HTC service.
And one more question, so if I run ruu over relocked bootloader I won't get LOCKED sign again?
Edit:
After I unlock bootloader, if I do a downgrade to older hboot and s-off it via revolutionary, is there a way for getting back to factory state?

Yes, if you use the downgrade procedure, then you could flash a Gingerbread 2.3.3/Sense 2.1 RUU then HBOOT would not show a lock status as long as you left it on that ROM.
If you flash any RUU starting with GB 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 and above, then the HBOOT screen will always show RELOCKED on the HBOOT screen. This will also occur if you take an OTA update for the GB 2.3.5/Sense 3.0.
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. After googling, I read 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.
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)?
Thanks for the help,
A Frustrated HTC One User
That RUU is not for the HTC One and there should be no reason to have to run an RUU to unlock your bootloader.
PM me if you need help
i wanted to get stock Rom from custom Rom with image version 3.04.651.2 . So I downloaded latest ruu. Which is also 3.04.651.I re-locked boot loader and started ruu
It cleaned user data till 3% then got stuck at sending file.
Then returned error that it can't upgrade this version of ruu.
Now I'm at stuck at the white screen with boot loader , fastboot modes etc option. Custom recovery is gone. I can't unlock it again
I don't have s-off enable.
While erasing data it's on HTC black screen with logo.
Then it says sending . And then it gives error saying it can't update using this ruu. Try another version. I'm lost.:crying:
Please help me please.
What Winver? Alongside what FW version are you on while attempting to go to 3.04?

Tried running RUU two more times and it worked.
Now I want to figure how to Unlock relocked Bootloader. I think its only possible via S-off.
Now the problem is that ADB is offline mode.. how Do I adb and push the needed files for s-off
I am on windows xp

Update you android sdk/platform tools folder that will fix the offline status
There are no files needing to be pushed to get s-off

Thanks, I got the online status.
Now I am with "Relocked" Bootloader, Hboot 1.55, 4.3 Android.
I read that I cannot get S-off on this built. Therefore I tried Rumrunner. But that is failing too after few reboots.
So what is the way to get Bootloader unlocked. Cannot Unlock via HTC DEV Since its Relocked.
My purpose here to unlock bootloader is ROOT the phone and unlock Sim Lock.
how to unlock Re-locked bootloader without ROOT access

You can use your unlock token if you still have it. If not you can use HTC-Dev again

thanks a ton. I swear I tried it thrice before. But I think because of drivers I got error message saying "too Many links"
I tried dev token again and it worked.
Now I have to figure out way to unlock SIM. So far all methods are proving useless after Sprint has decided to screw people with blocking s off and removing api that allowed SIM unlock

You can use rumrunner to s-off then ruu back to 1.29 and get sim unlock

thanks followed your lead and got the SIM unlock. Will dashing sense 5.5 android 4.3 Rom again lock me ?
Well, I'm usually able to dig myself out of messes I get myself into but this one has had me hunting a few hours. Here's the run-down.
1) S-OFF with 1.44 a while ago, rooted and unlocked bootloader
2) Got camera problem, would like to return phone to stock for warranty
3) Flashed a stock RUU, went fine. Stock recovery and bootloader work fine, hboot was upgraded to 1.55 (my mistake, should have noticed this)
4) Got sidetracked when trying to lock the bootloader and entered fastboot oem lock
So now I have a 're-locked' bootloader on 1.55 with S-OFF. I don't want to unlock through HTCDev, I can't use revone to unlock because I'm on 1.55, and I don't have a custom recovery, and can't flash one because I'm relocked.
Any ideas how I can unlock the bootloader here (or downgrade hboot, I have the zip but can't flash it)? I can probably handle the rest myself, after I smack myself over the head a few times.
The goal here is to have the bootloader 'LOCKED', and I'll then take my chances with S-ON, with the latest firmware but a downgraded (1.44) bootloader before handing it over for warranty purposes.
OK, it looks as though I can patch hboot files OK. Will take a look around for a patched one.
Hboot 1.44 will unlock using revone. Make sure to be on 1.x.x based ROM right after

Sorted, thanks. Found an older ROM that flashed fine with supercid. Think I'll keep S-OFF and just lock the bootloader. With this being a likely hardware issue I'm hoping I'll be fine with just that.
Help! I have previously s-off and unlocked bootloader and converted to GPE. Recently before sending to service, I have used Guru Reset to make it back to stock. Being desperate in erasing rooting traces, I have re-locked bootloader and s-on. Big mistake here as now I realize I can't unlock my bootloader via htcdev anymore, the disclaimer screen does not show no matter how I try. I am on the latest firmware, so Firewater does not work too. Basically I've tried everything I could find. I'm kinda stuck as there are no latest ruu to match my version, I could not s-off without unlocking and I could not unlock without resetting using a matching ruu. Any suggestions?
If motherboard is not changed then you can use previous unlock.bin file
