[Q] cannot unlock bootloader or s-off

I have an HTC wildfire S A510b MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 1.09.0099
MICROP-0451
RADIO-7.57.39.15M
Android 2.3.5
HTC sense 2.1
Software 2.26.841.4
kernel 2.6.35.10
i dont know my carrier but it comes with TelestraOne app. I guess its Australian.
i need to install custom ROMs on my device to get more free space in internal memory, for that i have been trying to unlock my bootloader but i cant. i followed steps given in HTCdev.com it provided me with the unlock_code.bin but when i flash it. It doesn't happen. The file doesn't flash. can anyone help me unlock bootloader.

Could you specify the exact steps you take to flash the unlock code? And what is the error you get?

RUU for my ROM was not available on HTCdev.com so i ignored the RUU step and continued from step 1, as it was mentioned on web that if your ROM version is not present than u dont need RUU. i followed every single step mentioned on HTCdev.com, i gave them my binary ID token they sent me unlock_code.bin file on my email account. but when i try to flash that file. it stuck. nothing happens. i tried other RUU's for my model i.e. PG76120 but non works. and the unlock code that htcdev.com provided doesnt work also. it hangs when i try to flash that unlock_code.bin on my phone via cmd.exe, on web it says that it will take 5secs. i left my phone for more than 10mins. but it didnt flash.

you should not ignore ruu for your rom bcz...the original hboot doesn't support fastboot command..!

He said that he has version 2.26, that already has the unlockable bootloader .
Maybe you could try to get another unlock code?

Did you select 'Fastboot' by pressing <power> button on hboot menu before to type the 'fastboot' from cmd.
If you don't this then probably it wouldn't be done!!.

i went in HBOOT by pressing power and volume down button simultaneously. i let HBOOT scan for images, there weren't any, than i selected fastboot using power button. after that i connected my phone to PC via USB cable. fastboot changed into fastboot usb. than i commanded cmd tu flash unlock_code.bin into my phone (unlock_code.bin was placed in same folder where adb.exe,AdbWinApi.dll and fastboot.exe files were placed and i opened cmd from that folder where all of these 4 files were placed) I have win7 ultimate and activated on my desktop.
do i have to copy AdbWinUsbApi.dll also ???

i have the same prob with my explorer...my wfs bootloader unlocked easily...i updated the RUU and it happened...in my explorer...once i use the command send unlock code.bin...my fone hangs nd there is a green rectangle on the side...as i remove the usb it works again...any help?

i am facing the similar problem,,,hv u got any solution ((abdulaka))

OK don't use PG76IMG.zip. Just try and fastboot flash from your computer. Go into fastboot menu and plug in your USB from computer to your phone. Now open command prompt. Remember to keep the recovery.img in the same place you kept your fastboot files. Then on command prompt navigate to where you kept the fastboot files and recovery.img using the "cd" function. Finally type in the words "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" Congratulations you have installed the recovery!
Don't forget to press thanks if I helped.

You may find this easier, if you still have the .img on the SD, delete it. You can try the All In One Tool by hasoon2000. He is a member here and you can simply search for the tool in this forum.
Good Luck!

in htcdev you can see that newer version dont require any RUU.they have unlocking capability itself.
i have attached screenshot to clear that issue and try as per htcdev to root your phone.

Things that you forgot to mention is BOOT LOADER,is it locked Or unlocked?
it will written above your phone's Hboot -2.00.0027.
If it's unlocked that try locking it back and then run stock RUU the one you were using it in last working stat.
Thanks.

How would i get to know thats its unlocked
Because its not mentioned any where on screen. what I can tell u i its was working every sim card was working on this phone .
I am new to this please if possible explain me in detail :good:

Don't get panic!
It's really easy.....as you may check that i am also new to xda infect i registered on December last month,ever since then i get to know things which i didn't know before so don't worry it will take time but you will know step by step.
As you have mention about S-On and some other detail by pressing volume down and power button.,the same way do it.
first phone should be switched off,and press volume down and power button together,once you see white background with several information regarding your phone's current status.
HBOOT
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
and some others but in that screen look for top on the list it should written locked or relocked,if not then you have to lock it back in order to run any stock RUU.
as you said that any sim card works which means that your phone is unlocked to network. but for now if there is no other issue in your phone than you have to relock the bootloader in order to run STOCK RUU.
without locked boot loader you won't be able to install RUU.
If it stats ***Locked*** than just flash any RUU by double clicking on it.,if not than just follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133336

But its says nothing locked or unlocked at the top
and how to enable USB Debgging
I tried the link above
and EasyUnlockTool.cmd says the following
***ERROR***ERROR**ERROR
Phone not plugged in
or
Driver not Installed

you can try flashing RUU with the latest or same version as you know that you already using it..but firstly you must find the correct RUU that are suitable with you CIDnum (country ID) of you phone...or else you might using a goldcard method
to check the CIDnum of your phone..your pc must have the latest HTC driver (you can find it here ), and your must already had ADB/ SDK to running android debugging bridge (you can download it minimal ADB from here or download full SDK from here )
after that get your phone to the bootloader n select FASTBOOT then connecting your phone with your pc..then open cmd and change source to your ADB / SDK folder..then typing "fastboot devices" (this is to see connected of your phone to pc)
if success connected..the output will prompt it of your phone serial number..after that you can continue to typing "fastboot getvar all"
then see your CIDnum in the line of output "INFOCID.....XXXX"
hope this help..

yap..just wanna correct misspelled..
because..you already suggest it to OP to relock his phone bootloader..that's mean you already assume that his bootloader is already unlocked just not show in the top of bootloader..
because of that...i just wanna correct that..because what i know until now is.. actually the bootloader of Ace..by default is indeed nothing showing state locked or unlocked on the top of bootloader.. that's why i suggest him to flashing RUU again..no needed to relock bootloader first..
i just wanna correct miss direction to the OP....nothing else..
anyway..i'm really glad and appreciated to see you wanna trying helping all people in this forum..mate

that's CID num is for RUU HTC India 3.13.720.2 , but i can't find it anywhere ...
so i think you must using goldcard to flashing another RUU with version above 3.13.720.2

you don't need HTC sync to do that...just download SDK from here.. and placed in C:\ drive on your pc.
then you continued to step :

2. after you already download your hboot.. running that exe file until next to second step..now you must hold at this point..don't close this..let open
3. open explorer then search the rom.zip file under C:\Users\"your username"\AppData\Local\Temp\ "you will see a lot of folder like this {5917E83E-C23B-491F-9D62-6AB7E6E87DC6} and you must try looking one by one by open it and see there is a file dotnetinstaller.exe inside that folder and had a folder like before too {5917E83E-C23B-491F-9D62-6AB7E6E87DC6}..then open it again that folder..now you can find the rom.zip file in there"
4. copying that rom.zip file to your SDK under platform-tools folder..and turn on your phone again with pressing and hold volume down+power until get inside bootloader then select FASTBOOT mode
5. open cmd change source to your SDK / platform-tools folder then typing "fastboot devices" enter to checking first that your phone is already connected properly
5. typing "fastboot oem rebootRUU" enter

Hello, I'm from Bulgaria, I bought a Desire HD that was with relocked bootloader. I unlocked the bootloader with htcdev.com. Now it is unlock. The phone not load any ROM, can,'t make recovery from bootloader, can't make factory reset from bootloader. I tried to flash several stock ROMs before and after unlocking, but getting a different errors. Attempted ROMs are with the same RADIO. I Tried this-

Stay on the white screen with grenn HTC logo when is turned on, and when I tried to make recovery or factory reset. When the stock ROM start to install (before give me a error ) the screen stay on grey HTC logo on Black screen. Can anyone help me? I attached a picture of Bootloader-

Uhh, have you actually installed recovery - if you haven't well that's why.
Go here: http://www.4ext.net/ddl/ace/recovery.zip
Extract the files
Copy recovery img to your adb.exe folder (make sure fastboot.exe is there)
Turn on your phone into fastboot mode
CD to that directory and type in "fastboot devices"
Confirm it says your serial
Then type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Now you have recovery (it means you can flash roms and kernels and mods and anything flashable apart from radios and firmwares)

I did this correctly, everything is OK, but now what? I tried to install stock ROM, but with no result. Here is a pictures of instalation-

now select recovery, and install ROM there

don't install stock rom or RUU again..
just installing custom rom (you can search and choice a custom rom in "Desire HD Android Development") and installing the rom.zip file from 4ext recovery (install zip from sd card)..don't forget to flashing boot.img too (flashing under FASTBOOT mode with fastboot command "fastboot flash boot boot.img").. that the boot.img are extracted from the rom.zip file that you had already installed..
hope this can help..

did you already installing 4ext recovery..?, if so..to go that recovery then you just need select Recovery from your bootloader menu..then you can installing custom rom from there..
just copied your custom rom file to the root of your sd card..this mean just placed inside your sdcard..don't placed inside any folder..then after that you can installing that rom from 4ext recovery
hope this can help..

I made this from second post, but can't see any difference in phone or bootloader. When I pushed recovery from original bootmenu, came white screen with green HTC logo with one vibration end nothing happend

Just repeat all the step in second post...just this time you show me the out put from cmd...after you typing command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

while you installing recovery from fastboot..did your bootloader still with unlocked state..?
because i see you're success flashing a custom recovery that you already show me above in attchment file before...
if your bootloader are already locked..then you must unlocking again first...then after that you can continued flashing custom recovery..

Thank you ! Now the bootloader is unlocked, and I did that from the second post with already unlocked bootloader. Still nothing can I do.

just tried installing another custom recovery...just try download it TWRP recovery from here.. copied to your adb.exe and fastboot.exe folder and flashing it through FASTBOOT mode with command .. "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-ace.img"
hope this time your phone will had a custom recovery installed
good luck.

that's so weird..it must be something wrong with that phone..
what about if you try return to the stock first..?
to do that...firstly just find the cid num of your phone by command through fastboot "fastboot getvar all" (you can find your cid in the INFO CIDNUM XXXXXXXX) if you wanna show me the output of that command..don't forget just remove your imei and serial number first..
after you find your cid num you can find the right RUU for your phone..just check it here to find what RUU you must download it..and just download it the RUU with same main version of your phone or higher version than yours..
after that just relocked your bootloader through fastboot "fastboot oem lock"...now you can continued flashing that RUU
hope this help..

Never seen a 2.16.654 ruu there ! Can you point me to it please. As for additional information :
He can't install any other ruu than a 2.16.654 or higher one since he has no S-OFF.

Check for maximus or arhd (NOT the lollipop versions but a slight older one) in the dev section or get a new stock backup matching your version number in the general section - collection of firmwares, stock backups and more by @exocetdj
And if that doesn't give you the correct steps and files than try the specific Sprint M8 support subforum

Ah i see in the Sprint section. Maybe it's good to mention that too in the first reply because this is the international section and therefore doesn't hold Sprint ruu files. So that confused me a bit. Thanks for the link

My bad I didn't realize that

Thanks both. Really appreciated your advice. I tried steps in below link

uhm well, you double click the ruu.exe on the pc. That should do the trick

Hi
I relock the bootloader and did the prrevious steps. Now its worked.
Now it shows "RELOCKED" in the bootloader menu.
Is it the normal sign ?

Yes as you are s-on that's normal. Only with s-off you can change those flags to LOCKED
