Hi.
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of HTC one m7_wlv verizon, but i can't. it give me "Error Code: 160."
"Error Reason: MID Not Allowed."
I did this process with diferents devices, but i can't with this.
can somebody help me.
thanks.
Unfortunately Verizon does not allow bootloader unlock through HTCdev. You will need to use rumrunner/moonshine/current s-off method to s-off which will unlock your bootloader in the process. It will work, as I have performed s-off on a Verizon One device without incident just a few weeks ago. Remember that this WILL reset your phone to fresh out of the box status. This means sd-card too, so save anything you don't want evaporating. Need more info for the proper s-off thread? Let me know and ill see if I can get you a link.

Hi all,
My Incredible S now refuses to boot and I can't flash it. Here's the story:
It was a factory unlocked device with S-ON. AlphaRevX successfully managed to get rid of that, and GingerBreak rooted the device in the first attempt. It was working fine until, for a stupid reason, I decided to go back to factory ROM. So I downloaded one from another thread here and ended up with famous yellow triangle. Removed the battery and the problem started.
It keeps showing HTC logo then restarts.
I've tried many ROMS but all of them ended up with Customer ID error. I see "Security Warning" message on the Bootloader screen and S-ON is back.
Here's all the information I can gather from bootloader screen:
VIVO PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 1.09.0000
RADIO 3805.04.03.27_M
I'd appreciate any kind of help.

Hossein
I am in the exact same boat and I made a thread about it here:

Whenever you get an invalid CID or customer ID when trying to flash a ROM, it means that you need to create a goldcard to flash the ROM because your phone may be S-OFF, but it is not carrier unlocked.
You situation is not unique however. You are the 3rd thread that has posted the 'Security Warning' and getting set back to S-ON. You may want to check out the other threads to see if they were ever able to get it resolved.

Hi,
Thanks for the link. I actually cannot try XTC Clip as I don't have it. Gold Card is not an option as I simply don't know what is the CID of my device.
I tried to flash mine with stock RUU, but this time got "Bootloader version" error which means I can't downgrade. It is an Arabic ROM (the latest OTA update for my device named "OTA_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_ARA_2.30.415.1-2.12.415.5") so I guess I need a stock Gingerbread Arabic ROM for HTC Incredible S, which is not available AFAIK.

Hi,
It is S-ON and carrier unlocked but either way I believe I need to know my CID to create a gold card (please correct me if I'm wrong). As the device is not booting up, I can't read the CID, unless there's a way to read it in bootloader mode.

I have the same problem,I flash the eng-hboot and then i used goldcard to flash the ruu,the bootloader was s-on and when i power on,it only enter fastboot mode,some one know how to do ? jtag now can't fix it

How much does he charge to only unlock it?
unlock you can do of our own using htcdev.com.
Follow this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465780 it will help u to unlock bootloader, flash cwm5 and increase ur internal memory
HTC has released a utility to unlock bootloader of your HTC device. If you get that, you can root your phone. No need to get a S-OFF. My salsa is S-ON yet rooted.
I am not sure what benifits S-off will offer over htc unlock bootloader. May be BigBearEvo can throw some light on it.
If you just want to root, htc unlock bootloader works fine.

HTC unlocking is same as u s-off...
more beneficial than normally unlocking using xtc clip.
in boot loader menu it shows as S-ON, but functions as S-OFF.
just check whether it shows "unlocked" in boot loader menu.
HTC unlocking is complete solution for root access.

Nope, I dont think HTCDEV Unlock bootloader will give you network unlock and radio unlock. If you get xtc-clip s-off it will let you change radio and network lock as well. I have never tried though.
go here....new added hboot updates for the s-off user only!

So my One is having issues charging, something is up with the USB port. Called TMO and they sent me a replacement phone and a return label. I'm rooted and my bootloader was unlocked (voiding my warranty apparently). So I went to re-lock the bootloader and it was successful HOWEVER now it states in the bootloader that it's been re-locked and tampered. Any way to make it seem as if it was never unlocked? Am I going to have to worry about them not accepting my device? Am I totally screwed here?
take a look here

Thanks for the response, I'm on TMO in the US. I haven't gone the S-Off route yet either so I'm not sure this applies to me...and my CID doesn't match the thread. Appreciate the input though...
You need the official file form a HTC Care point over there i the states.
Follow the guid to get Never locked and the state tamperd away.
Do the soff .follow the guide remove tampered and to relock bootloader without it saying relocked it would say locked. Then return to s on. But please follow the guide to the letter.

Ok I'll give it a shot but I don't have S-Off right now, S is still ON so not sure if that is a problem.
i think you need to do soff first to be able to do the rest . but please read and read and read before prociding to soff , see all the requirement and so on
its easy .... little comon sense
Get S-off with revone relock bootloader remove tampered act like nothing has ever happened (shhhhhh dont tell HTC) :good:
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.

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.

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

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
from HTC One
