Hello!
I am looking for help with rooting my HTC EVO 3D phone (HBOOT 1.5 with software 2.08.651.3), which went successfully all way through step 12 per HTC DEV unlock instructions, however, as described in step 13, the phone has never prompted for YES/NO to confirm unlock. I am getting the "FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))" error pretty much for every fastboot command. The good thing is that phone boots and works properly otherwise.
Factory Reset or Removing battery did not help.
Could someone advice on how to clear this error and successfully root the phone from this point.
Below is the log of commandes:
1. C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot oem get_identifier_token

What hboot version are you on?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
it is HBOOT 1.5 with software 2.08.651.3.
I can't link as I'm on the phone bit if you go to the cdma development section for the EVO 3d there is a few good guides to walk you through rooting and flashing with 1.5 you will still have s-on but be able to flash. My opinion would be go with twrp its in the stickies

MTEEZEY,
Thank you for the advice. Found post advising to run the 2.08 RUU and then retry the HTC unlock. Worked for me!

My HTC One X's bootloader refuses to be unlocked. No matter how many times I get the Unlock_code.bin, the result is the same. I see the screen prompting you to unlock, the phone restarts, but the bootloader is still locked! It always says "FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))", as shown in the "code" below, and when I try to go into recovery, I just end up in the bootloader again.
I've tried rebooting, powering off, and unlocking the bootloader at least 20 times.

Please help!!
UPDATE: The HTC One X is now stuck in APX mode. I've installed NVFlash drivers and got the NVFlash tool, but executing "nvflash --sync" gets me this:
Code:
D:\HTC One X>nvflash --sync
Nvflash started
rcm version 0X4
Command send failed (usb write failed)
D:\HTC One X>
The too many links error is normal.
When you flash the unlock token and the unlock prompt appears
You are pressing volume up to confirm yes then pressing power button?
And also was you unlocked before then the phone magically became locked again?

Try a different cable, too. I have a USB cable that's quite long, and I can't flash anything with it and get the same error. Tried a different, shorter one and it was all good.

he is not receiving any error, as i previously said (too many links) is normal
the important line is the one above it "(bootloader) unlock token check successfully"
which shows that the unlock token was flashed and checked successfully
there are 2 likely reasons behind it
1. the op has not pressed volume up before pressing power which he needs to do to confirm that he wants to unlock
2. his device has a hardware failure which prevents the bootloader from unlocking (this is quite rare and i have only seen cases of it happening with already unlocked bootloaders magically becoming locked again, then its impossible to re-unlock it)

I have pressed volume up before pressing power, confirming that I want to unlock. I'm pretty sure it wasn't unlocked before, thus needing to be unlocked.

APX is a brick. You need a new mainboard. There is no 100% solution for this as of now. If you get out of apx it probably won't be long before it kicks back in

Thanks for letting me know. Now I don't have to try anymore, because now I know it would become wasted effort. I will send it to HTC, see if they can get me a replacement.
So it was the second. Have yet to see it happen on a boot loader that had not yet been unlocked but i suppose most of xda posters will already have had theirs unlocked

Yep
It's still in APX mode...
Just knowing that there is still a slim chance of saving it is KILLING ME!!
I'm having the same problem trying to re-unlock my boot loader. If press up then power it reboots the phone?? Should I have HBOOT, REBOOT, REBOOTBOOTLOADER OR POWERDOWN highlighted before pressing up then power?

Did you ever resolve this issue, I have the same problem and have been told by the HTC repair centre (not HTC) that it is a software fault but they will not repair/replace as its out of warantee. The only way of resolving it (as told by them) is to have a new motherboard . I am waiting to get it back and then will decide on my next course of action.
I am pretty [email protected] off as this is no fault of my own and have never bricked a device in my life, let alone through normal use!!
I had orginally unlocked the bootloader, relocked it but it is now showing locked rather than re-locked.
I don't mind openning it up and direct flashing if this is possible!
If it says locked instead of relocked then i think you don't have to worry about warranty, if it still applies within the warranty period (2 years EU).

Of course I wouldn't copy that stuff. The following screenshots are from the HTCDev website. I think it's clear enough to anyone.

Did you ever resolve this issue, I have the same problem and have been told by the HTC repair centre (not HTC) that it is a software fault but they will not repair/replace as its out of warantee. The only way of resolving it (as told by them) is to have a new motherboard . I am waiting to get it back and then will decide on my next course of action.
I am pretty [email protected] off as this is no fault of my own and have never bricked a device in my life, let alone through normal use!!
I had orginally unlocked the bootloader, relocked it but it is now showing locked rather than re-locked.
I don't mind openning it up and direct flashing if this is possible!

Well phone back, says locked do I have to resign myself to having an expensive paperweight??
HTC/Vodafone will not even consider mending or looking it as it, as it has a slight (hairline) crack in the case above the usb connection, apparently any cosmetic damage is a "Get out Clause" very disappointed

Are you sure, have you tried it at HTC/Vodafone? Cause the body can show hairline cracks after a while, so maybe they also replace your case under warrenty.
Hi,
Short story:
My One X won't boot to Android anymore. I can only enter boot / fastboot modes.
And when trying to apply modifications (fastboot flash or fastboot unlock), it shows various errors, not always the same.
Long story:
I bought this phone second hand quite a while ago, soon after its market launch. It was already unlocked and rooted, but I don't know what method had been used.
RUU says it runs release 1.28.
Boot says:
- S-On
- HBoot-0.94.0000
- Radio 1.1204.103.14
- Apr 11 2012,02:27:11
Given that it was unlocked / rooted it never received an OTA.
I recently decided to perform a full wipe, and by the way a full upgrade.
So:
- I did a CWM Recovery backup
- I flashed a «semi-stock» image, the stock de-odexed 4.18.401.3 from android-revolution (URL forbidden here, I'm a newbie!) .
- I performed a full wipe / factory reset / cache cleaning / Dalvik cache cleaning.
It didn't boot, and I learnt about the ICS / JB hboot incompatibility.
I tried to flash the boot from the android-revolution page, with no improvements.
So, I decided to revert to my Nandroid backup, from the recovery.
Didn't boot either.
Then I found a Windows computer, relocked the bootloader, and tried RUUs (3.14 and 1.26) with no success.
CID is HTC__203, so I used .401 RUU or OTA files.
RUU application stops each time at a different moment, either for usb connexion error, wrong RUU for my phone, not enough battery, or unknown error.
I read about a battery charge issue, and tried this method to charge it:
Code:
while : ; do fastboot getvar battery-voltage; fastboot reboot-bootloader; sleep 6; done
(as you may see, my main workstation is running Linux)
After a 9 hours long night:
Code:
< waiting for device >
battery-voltage: 3610mV
finished. total time: 0.100s
rebooting into bootloader...
OKAY [ 0.177s]
finished. total time: 0.177s
< waiting for device >
battery-voltage: 3610mV
finished. total time: 0.100s
rebooting into bootloader...
OKAY [ 0.177s]
finished. total time: 0.177s
It seems that it couldn't go farther than 3.6V.
But if I tried to unlock my phone after that:
Code:
[[email protected] htc_one_x]# fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.141s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...

You can see error message is not always the same.

What is the real issue? Why can't it give me a consistent error ?
What else could I try?
Thanks for reading this long post and trying to help me!

Give me result from command fastboot getvar version-main
Download this fastboot.zip and extract it to a folder fastboot rename the file fastboot-linux to fastboot. The file fastboot only is for windows and if you want to keep it rename fastboot to fastboot-windows

1. Charge your phone
2. Download this RUU 1.28.401.9
3. Lock your bootloader with command fastboot oem lock
4. Run the RUU as administrator
5. Aplly all update to latest JB from Settings/Software update

That's exactly what I was trying to do.
I finally succeeded, few minutes ago, after charging to 3920mv.
It looks like the USB cable quality has a big impact on the charging capabilities:
- with a cheap cable I couldn't go farther than 3.6xx V.
- When I changed my cable, it was charging much faster, up to 3.9xx V.
…then at this level of charge the RUU*worked.
Thanks anyway for your help! :good:
Now it's doing OTA*updates…

yes oem unlocking is enabled and this is the factory unlocked one preordered from HTC. Has anyone seen similar issues with their unit?

i had the same issue and used Microsoft Edge browser and it worked as per suggestion from somebody here
I'm having the same issue. Can't figure it out
Different browser did not work for me.
Think I had this issue once when I didn't copy the code into the box properly, copy it exactly as they do first line to last, I tend to have to remove some leading text from each row.
I was getting this error too but didn't realize I generated the code before checking the OEM Unlocking option dialog. The code changes once you do so.
Pasting this code in will just give you an unlock code that fails with that error message. Make sure you did not accidentally do it backwards.
Not sure how browser would be an issue.
Using the Microsoft Edge browser worked for me, but I have no idea why
I've got the same problem. OEM unlocking is enabled and I've regenerated my unlock_code.bin after doing so. I've made sure there's no leading or trailing spaces in the oem token code thing I paste in. I've tried downloading the unlock_code.bin through Microsoft Edge. Exact same error as OP. Any clues?
Took me 3 tokens
