[Q] [Help needed] Fastboot doesn't provide token ID to unlock the bootloader

Guys, I have a problem with my HTC One M7. I am trying to unlock the bootloader using the HTCDev guide (available at htcdev site).
But suddenly I am not able to complete Step 8 (running command "fastboot oem get_identifier_token").
Command "fastboot devices" shows my phone in a fastboot mode:
\> fastboot devices
mt6589_phone_720pv2 fastboot
But none of fastboot oem commands executes successfully (including "get_identifier_token").
Instead I get only three dots ("...") and nothing changes after that:
\> fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
Other commands (like fastboot reboot) function, but not "fastboot oem get_identifier_token". I can't unlock my bootloader, could you please help!

Never seen that before but since we have S-off now you can unlock the bootloader without HTCDev
check out the revone thread in the Original Development section.

If you're using Windows 8, I would use the following link that I've seen floating around here"
http://plugable.com/2012/12/01/windows-8-and-intel-usb-3-0-host-controllers
I had issues getting the token for mine until I used that guide to convert my Microsoft USB 3.0 drivers into Intel drivers.

Thanks for this advice, I am now trying to do it with revone.
I have successfully pushed the file to the phone, but when executing adb shell commands I get a error:
"- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory"
How to fix it?

Not sure, but the folks in that thread are super helpful
you're in an ADB shell when you execute the command?

Yes, I am now reading that thread to find the answer.
Here's what i do and what I get:

Start the shell. Then do the cd command separately

It was in recovery mode - my mistake, thank you for pointing.
I have booted it and executed the needed commands, but still another mistake:
>sudo adb shell

[email protected]:/data/local/tmp # chmod 755 revone
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp # ./revone -P

revone failed (error code = 1)

Step by step I am coming closer to the result, thanks so much for your help

1 Yes this is normal until you change it.
2 For me, s-off then you can always relock the bootloader without htc knowing you have ever unlocked it for warranty purposes.
3 Both do the same thing so personal preference. I used revone which was very easy but cannot comment on revolutionary as I have not tried it.

If we relocked the bootloader, it will show 'relocked' instead of 'locked' right?

That is only if you do it with the instructions on HTCDEV. With S-OFf you can relock and it will show LOCKED.

There is an ADB command to change it to 'locked' instead of 'relocked'. It's mentioned in revone's thread:

1. I saw other devices pictures which showed CID in bootloader mode, and also my previous HTC OneX had such information available.
2. I'be read somewhere users having issues with S-Off with HTC one. Previously I had Inc S and I S-Off it using revolutionary.
Thanks.

There is a problem with your drivers somehow, go to device manager in windows and delete the phone from the list. Reboot the pc and try again.

"adb push" command is not shell command!
you need type: adb push revone /data/local/tmp/ before you entered into shell by "adb shell".
1) adb push revone /data/local/tmp/
2) adb shell
3) and so on..

First thing, are you S-Off?
If not you will only be able to get RELOCKED, not LOCKED. So that's a dead giveaway.

It means you're phone is Security On. Since you've unlocked the bootloader it probably says "UNLOCKED" and "TAMPERED", even if you go back to stock rom and stock recovery and lock your phone, it will show as "RELOCKED" (not sure if TAMPERED will go away, as there are conflicting reports about that).
The only way to really get your phone not to show any evidence of being unlocked, you would need to use revone to get it to show "LOCKED". In order to use revone, you would need to be on hboot 1.44 as hboot 1.54+ have been patched so that revone no longer works.

Do some reading of the guides including revone's s-off, vomer's guide to s-off, etc.
Once you are comfortable with the procedure go ahead and S-Off. Then you'll be able to fully restore your device.
A note of advise (at your discretion of course) keep S-Off even after you fully go back to stock, as some phones do actually ship with S-Off.

What's the error message you are receiving? Give us detailed output from the beginning of your adb shell.
EDIT: what custom ROM are you using, if it's 4.3 based it's a no go. download one that is either 4.1.2 (better) or 4.2.2 (should work also)

Not on my pc right now, I'll try to come back later. But -1 doesn't sound like too big of a problem, keep trying, it took some people up to 50 retries before it actually worked.
Head over to the s-off thread where u can see some other experiences.

Once you "./revone -P", and it gives you success, reboot the phone and start running " ./revone -s 0 -u" until it succeeds.

From what I've read, but remember each user experience is different, try some of the following: (I know it's tedious, but if/when you get S-Off it's well worth it):
1- Try a different Sense 5 ROM 4.1.2 and/or try 4.2.2; I've even seen someone use a GPe 4.2.2 ROM and it worked
2- are you rooted? could improve chances, using "su" in the shell
3- try running the commands using terminal emulator directly on the phone; for some that worked, whereas adb didnt
So far error -1 and error -2 aren't a failure; from @The War Horse:
Code:
Error Code -1 = Potentially you need to try a different ROM or it could just be random and after a few tries and reboots it might work. A few people have reported that rebooting and using -p rather than -P has worked but I'm not convinced as -p isn't built as a command but you're free to try whatever you wish.
Error Code -2 = I've seen people report this but revone has actually worked so should you see this try and reboot and carry on, if not then try changing ROMs and try again.
Reboot, factory reset, start from the beginning again, etc etc you should get it working PLEASE :fingers-crossed:
I know it's a hassle, for some it works from the first time, for others it takes 50 times and many reboots.
PERSONALLY, I achieved S-Off while being unlocked, rooted, and on ARHD 8.x or 9.x (can't remember )
Keep going, you'll get there :fingers-crossed:

adb push misc.img

Then
Adb shell

So it type

dd if=/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19
# reboot
Am I correct ?
Plz help as I am noob in this ...but am trying to learn

The auto-translated instructions are not good enough, and this is a very risky procedure. Fortunately, with code you usually don't need to read the words to understand it. Fortunately, with my Japanese-speaking colleague's help, I understand everything. Some things to know:
- Don't try this unless you are content to risk your phone, because I can tell he made mistakes in his instructions
- To reiterate, you either need to follow his incorrect instructions or you need to listen to me (why would you do that?)
- Look at the code blocks--all that code is meant to be run on your computer while the phone is connected to USB.
- There is only one complicated step, and this is the one with the incorrect instructions.
What he says:
Open misc.img in a hex editor, represent [00001023] as [11] and save. If you are lazy, use the file I modified already. <link>
There are two problems with this statement. First, "00001023" is not a reasonable position in the file. It means "line 10, column 3" (lines start with zero, columns start with zero). But there are 16 bytes per line, so what he really means is "byte 147". (Each pair of hex characters is a byte. The lowest value is 00, the highest value is ff.)
The second problem is that in his "already modified" file, that byte is "00", not "11". This is what I expected, because it's not reasonable for number="11" to mean "unlocked". More likely, "11" is his carrier and "00" is when the phone is unlocked.
What I advise is getting your carrier to unlock the phone, and if that's not possible, proceed only if you are willing to risk your phone. Follow his instructions, but when you get your misc.img file, download his modified version and compare them. If they differ in only one position, install his file to your phone (as per the instructions). If they are very different but the same size, you can try changing byte 147 to 00 (if the surrounding bytes are also all 00). Save the unmodified .img file, because you might be able to use it to rescue your phone if this fails.
Note: this is risky, with or without language barrier issues. At least 10% chance of bricking your phone.

Thanks a lot for your advice.
But it is not possible to carrier unlock the phone
Is there any safe way to sim unlock the phone ?
Currently am stuck ...

I think it's probably safe to flash the misc.img file he uploaded and linked to, if (and only if) it is exactly the same as yours, except for that one byte. Low chance of bricking the phone.

But currently can you tell me to how to pull the image coz I havr followed his command ...
Adb shell
It strt with $
Su
Now # come
Then somd dd comand
Here it shows operation cannot complete(will update what is exactly error in few min)
Exit
Adb pull misc.img
Here it shows error device not detected
Can you help me to first pull file so I can compare

Weird... you got a successful ADB shell, then it stopped detecting your device? I suppose you should just try again.
My phone is not the same as yours, so you shouldn't compare your partition19 to mine. You have a phone specific to Japan, right?

That's actually normal (because you're not supposed to write to the root of the phone's filesystem). Every time the instructions say "/", you can replace it with "/sdcard/", and every time they say "/misc.img", you can think "/sdcard/misc.img". (The instructions were carelessly written.)

S-off problem

Hi guys......
I have Butterfly s 901e with HBOOT 1.57, when I tried to s-off with firewater, I didn't get anything while in the process..... when I made the last step ([email protected]:/ # chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater then [email protected]:/ # /data/local/tmp/firewater), I got nothing.... I tried to check data/local/tmp manually in ES File Explorer to see what is going on, I noticed that after pushing firewater through adb it will appear in the TMP folder and after executing [email protected]:/ # chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater then [email protected]:/ # /data/local/tmp/firewater the firewater file just disappear from TMP folder, and nothing is starting....
please help.
