Hi, I was hoping I can get some help with my phone. I'm trying to unlock my boot loader using htcdev but I keep getting this problem after I enter in my device token.
Unlocking Bootloader Failed!
Error Code:173
Error Reason: Check Rule Fail with exception.
Can anyone help me with this? I've unlocked many android phones before (nexus are a lot easier) but my One is giving me issues...
I literally just got this phone lol and I want to unlock it. It has the latest 4.3 update and hboot 1.55
Thanks!

are you registered and signed in on htedev.com and are you highlighting it properly if you highlight one row to far it will err, also use a 2.0 usb port not a 3.0, also selecting all other supported devices in selection list

I think it's HTC Dev I just tried and it would hang when I clicked submit and got the same error as everyone else.
Maybe they are overwhelmed with all the new Black Friday deals..everyone trying to unlock at the same time

Hi,
Little problem in here. I've got tried to update IncS but something went wrong and I'm here.
Phone after boot goes straight into the bootloader like in pic.
Is there any solution to make it live?

A little problem here; you did not give us enough information on what exactly you were doing to your IncS.
It appears you may have been trying to run the S-Off downgrade procedure or you simply tried to run and flash an older RUU?
At this point my suggestion would be to go to HTCDEV.com and download the last and final ICS RUU for the IncS and use that to get your phone back to a working state.
tried to s-off and failed
Device is't not recognized after boot into bootloader by RUU
is there is needed any drivers or sth?

When you ran the Gingerbread RUU to achieve S-OFF, I assume there was an error code of some sort (ex. Error 131 or 170 or something). Can you please tell us which error code it was?
In the meantime, please download the latest and must recent ICS update from HTCDEV.com as tpbklake advised. I'm sure you need a phone to use.

Ok, if you tried to S-Off, then you missed the very first step. Since you have hoot version 2.02.0002, the first thing you must do it UNLOCK the boot loader using the procedure at HTCDEV.com.
Since your HBOOT screen shows a LOCKED status, that means you didn't even do that step. Otherwise your HBOOT status would show either UNLOCKED or RELOCKED.
If you follow the unlock procedure at HTCDEV.com you will end up with all of the correct drivers you need.
Unlock bootloader procedure is stuck on the selecting yes/no in the phone. I can't select yes... "no" option goes ok, "yes" - cant accept.
When pressing the power burton few moments; phone vibrates only.
Any1 got this problem?

When you select yes/no did u use the hardware keys because it should work.
everythig is ok, I can switch between yes/no without aby problem but only no is able to be accepted. Then it's rebooting and stuck on bootloader again.
Is there any difference about the PC? Maby I should try with other computer? os?
Actually i'm working on Asus laptop with Win7 64bit

Make sure you are using a USB 2.0 port and not a USB 3.0 port.
I've tried with other PC, this time on WinXP, the same result. The only thing I can't do is selecting YES when phone asking about unlock bootloader.
I've no idea what to do..

When trying to update RUU, windows says "Device not recognized" after rebooting to bootloader. Any idea what's wrong?

And one more question. Is there any difference if I choose other region of IncS? I mean WWE or Asia or Hutchison? Maby there is the problem with accepting bootloader unlock?

No that wouldn't make a difference because the unlock token that your phone generated is what is used to generate the unlock.bin file, not the region you picked.
The device not recognized usually indicates a driver problem. Did up install the HTC drivers on the XP machine?
Finally, maybe the reason you cannot select YES is because the unlock.bin that was generated with a bad unlock token.
You might want to try and regenerate the unlock token and get a new unlock.bin.
In device manager phone detected as My HTC. New unlock code gives same result as old one.
Is it a brick?

Ok, do you have the HTC Sync app running on your PC? If so, uninstall the app, but leave the HTC drivers installed.
Also you never did say whether you we're using an official HTC USB cable or not.
You are not bricked. You can always download the official ICS RUU/ROM from HTCDEV.com and use that to get your phone operational again.
I know but how to do that with that phone?
I've got Desire HD also and there is no problem with detecting it in adb. IncS - not.
Tried also to create goldcard and update with PG32IMG.zip form latest RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_TWM_TW_4.10.921.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266252_signed and gets stuck like on the pic then reboot.

So does it always hang trying to update the radio? Is this what happens when you tried to run the RUU or does it not get this far?
When trying to update RUU the program stops on the bootloader reboot, then nothing happened. Connection Error (171)

Are you the original owner of this phone? If not, where did you purchase it and was it operational before you attempted to S-Off?
Yes, it's my old contract phone... and it worked before as well.
I've read about xtc clip. Will it work to unlock bootloader.

No, not since you now have HBOOT version 2.02.0002.
The XTC Clip only worked on the IncS with HBOOT 1.09 and below.
---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------
I had one more thing your could try when you attempt to run the unlock.bin.
Once the screen comes up where you try to select YES, have you tried disconnecting the USB cable to see if that would allow ou to select YES?
Ok, thanks for help anyway.
---edit
not helping.

Problem solved. I've just formatted HDD and installed fresh Win7 then RUU program worked smooth as well. Now phone runs new ICS.
I don't know what caused that issue but I'm happy that finally phone started.
Hey guys,
A couple of days ago I recieved my One after I sent it for repairs.
They fixed my camera issue but changed my phone back to s-on. So now i'm left with a relocked phone with s-on.
I can't seem to re-unlock my phone by using htc's unlocking guide. After flashing the token it doesn't go into unlocking mode.
So i need some help with that. I'm on hboot 1.56 and 4.4 stock sense. Not rooted. Stock recovery.
Htcdev isnt able to help me so i completely rely on you guys.
Golden tip means a nice cold one.
Cheers

have u got a new unlock token or is it the same one as u used earlier? If u are using the same, I guess it may not work coz of the newer hboot. why don't u try getting a new token using another email id and trying the unlock bootloader process.
Also, it would be better if u uploaded a snapshot of the error message
Thanks for helping me. I have already tried 4 new tokens on different emails. I'm not getting any error message. It flashes succesfully.
But the "Unlock mode" doesnt pop up. It did when i unlocked it the first time.
Believe me when i say that i tried everything known to men ^^.

Got a guy internally over there who takes care of unlocking issues. So i'm hoping for the best.

Got the same problem.
New phone I'm afraid.
Or a VERY slim chance of an ruu, but I doubt that as I've already reflashed the firmware, and an ruu would only add system and data to that.
Don't have the option for an ruu anyway as I'm on 3.62.401 that or something newer isn't available.
So.. if you're guy sorts it I'd love to know how.

Yeah its a very weird issue. My guy sent my issue to their bootloader devs. They are now compiling some sort of RUU that will completely reset my phone to when if came out of the factory. So that means: New bootloader, s-on and locked. I really hope it works since this is driving me crazy.
Ofc i will let you know if it works. I also asked @mike1986. for his help. He's kinda the god of The One.

All my friend did was root and s-off but didn't flash or mod anything else. What all have you done to your device?
I've got the same thing. I'm htc-dev unlocked and running Captain_throwback's stock rooted rom. But when I go into the bootloader I get the same invalid info.
Can't run firewater s-off against it either, just says it isn't supported on my device.
When booted, mine works fine, data / voice / everythings perfect, but just shows the invalid info in the bootloader.

I had an One M7 which i had unlocked through HTCDev, s-offed etc and converted to GE
Then insmashed the screen which resulted into getting a replacement, refurbished as I guess
The thing is I cannot unlock it. i get the token but when i try to push it into the phone I get
an error message reading that the token does not match. Wrote to HTC and they replied that
"each serial number can only be unlocked once". Anything I can do? Tried moonshine, firewater but no success.

Few users have had motherboards replaced by HTC and unable to unlock afterwards (maybe not supported on new boards?). So you may be stuck. Despite HTC offering the service to unlock they are difficult in answering questions about it too

Well this isn't true. Many users here unlocked their phones more than once using a new unlock code. Maybe there is something bad with your version.
Some phone version can't be unlocked from htcdev.com (i.e like stated above, verizon)
Others phones like the GPE version suffer from a bootloader bug (updated version) and can't be unlocked no more.
Would like to see your unlockcode.bin and token if you want to share. Sometime they are corrupted.
Will try it once more tomorrow.
Is the unlock token unique per phone? I found the one from my previous phone
And it produces the same error

yes the code is unique to the phone, and you even need a new code when unlocking for a second time.
Coming back to this ( i own an M8 now, turned into GPe) , i use the M7 as a secondary phone but sense drives me mad. Any idea how to overcome the unlock issue? hTc has confirmed to me through email that refurbished phones cannot get unlocked
So I have had an HTC One m7 for about a year now, but I got a warranty replacement in the mail because the mic broke. I've been trying to unlock and S-off the new phone, but I can't seem to be able to do it. I have tried using the rumrunner S-Off, but I get an error. I've tried flashing TWRP, but whenever I try to flash the recovery, I get an error that says "<remote: signature verify fail>" when it checks the signature. I've tried flashing CWM instead of TWRP, reinstalling drivers and everything, but nothing works. The phone is the Verizon version of the m7 running Android 4.4.2 with Sense 6. Is there any way to get this to work?
Also, when I plug the phone into the computer it always comes up with the "installing device drivers" popup, and then will usually fail installing the Mass Storage and MTP drives because it says the phone was unplugged, even though it wasn't

You need s-off to unlock the bootloader, (because verizon phones cant be unlocked from htcdev.com). Try any other method described in the verizon forum, i.e firewater s-off. You can't flash the recovery with a locked bootloader.
