what is your phones bootloader status say ? Locked or Re-locked ? Whatever it may be, once you receive the unlock_code.bin of your own mobile (not others), you might want to open the command prompt from the adb fastboot folder, then type the following command (hopefully you might have done right, but just incase if you miss one letter or jumble it, it wont work)
fastboot flash unlock token Unlock_code.bin
It is case sensitive. so type carefully or try to paste it from here. This should unlock your phone. If still not, then the unlock_code.bin you got might have issues. So register on htcdev again with different email id, and use that.
All the best. Hit thanks if this post deserves it.

help please

i have a wfs, i have got the unlock zip file from htc dev but when i try to flash it to my phone it just sits there sending.
any help would be appreciated
there is no unlock.zip involved in the steps of unlocking bootloader.
please READ the instructions on htcdev carefully and follow each step. if you are new to it all, please read twice before you do anything.
an overview of the process is here:

edit: you should also describe errors more detailed. "sits there sending" is no description anyone else than you would understand.

[solved] relocked & security warning [solved]

Guys,
I urgently need assistance, I really need to have my mobile working very soon!
Heres my issue!
BOOTLOADER IS RELOCKED
and every command I run, I get the following ..
Sending Unlock_code.bin = FAILED DATA TO LARGE
trying to reinstall clockwork
Sending BOOT , then it says FAILED REMOTE not allowed
I am absolutely stuck in the bootloader loop with no recovery or any .IMG working.
Yes I have searched high and low to help me out all day literally all day and it's been stressing me out alot!
Please help!!
Kind regards
SOLVED MY PROBLEM AND MANY OTHERS MIGHT GET HELP FROM THIS.
First of all if you are having the issue I have please follow the next steps.
If you notice when you are in the Bootloader it will say RELOCKED ** SECURITY WARNING ** if so
Run this bat file with the cable connected until the ** SECURITY WARNING DISAPPEARS ** - http://www.speedyshare.com/b3WsH/Fas...y-recharge.bat
It should disappear after one reboot of charging when it does remove the cable and close the BAT file
Reconnect the cable and open a fastboot cmd window and run the "" fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin "" this will then allow write access and you should be able to use your phone again! my CM10 rom is still working and etc
Hope this helps for other people, please message me if i wasn't clear enough in above.

ah bugger, can you advise in what I can do please?
I have tried the RUU but it comes with the 140 ERROR
I am really screwing right now, last time I try and root something obviously not meant for me!
Cheers guys
usually when you have error 140 is because you have wrong hboot version (you have to be lower or the same than ruu),
watch in bootloader what hboot do you have and then download ruu from here http://htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor
check if you have a branded phone or not, and which region (europe, asia...) and download the right one then try again

Thank you so much for replying with great info!
I am on O2 network and the following details are :
ENDEAVORU
HBOOT-1.12.0000
RADIO-1.1204.90.13
can you let me know which one from that link you post would be mine? as I can only see one O2 link.
At the moment I am charging the phone via that BATCH file that constantly reboots the phone so it's taking a while!
thank you so much again for replying, my family can't even contact me at the moment how important it is!
Cheers buddy
The one I used was RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_O2_UK_1.26.206.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251230_signed.exe but this one gave me the error code!

When I load the RUU.EXE it says my current version is 2.17 and obviously the above RUU is older and I think this is why it does not work,
can anybody suggest something please?!

There is the possibility that the RUU for you is not released .... yet.
Can you unlock your bootloader again with the HTC dev site, did u try that ?

Hey, sorry to bring this up again, but I did what the OP said. I unlocked the the bootloader again, and got rid of the security warning, but I still cannot get past the "htc quietly brilliant" screen. Factory reseting won't work, and recovery will just reboot the device only to get it stuck the way I mentioned before. Any help, anyone?

recently i tried to unlock the bootloader my htc desire hd by htcdev.com method.. at first when they asked me to check for updated ruu ,i saw that mine wasn't in the list,infact mine was more updated as i saw in the vodafone uk sector.
'the enlisted one was 3.13.161.3 n mine is 3.13.161.5' according to their say.. i skipped that as mine was latest regrading that one in the list..
everything went okay ..but when i tried to unlock the bootloader in fastboot by flashing the unlocktoken.. it's stuck with just showing "sending unlock token...blah blah' ..thats it! i waited for long,but nothing else comes up!!
now ,what should i do to complete te bootloader unlocking? or should i update ruu ? which one should i select then? vodaone uk one or Asia/india one ? (bangladesh is beside of india as well as it's in asia continent)..

Want to do it easiest way? Have to go with Chinese way then.
Go to www.mgyun.com download first thing you see with computer sign and v3.4.8 current. Once done with downloading,Install it in your pc,Connect your device and Open program and try to search for an icon look like "LOCK sign" somewhere under setting sign. Click on lock icon will prompt something in your device related to unlock bootloader. Press Vol. Up or Down to choose and Power button to select. It will wipe your entire device. But after that you'll have ***UNLOCKED*** bootloader.
Skip htcdev traditional old method. Chinese method does the same with everything in that program.,so that not have to have any sort of registration to get unlock_code.bin or any sort of trouble. This is easiest way you could ever find to unlock your device bootloader.
Rest is up to you.
Thanks.
solved!!!

you do something wrong what error post image on the error go in fastboot and run fallow the guide in htcdev,com and when you receive error take printscreen and post the error here.
Are you take new unlock.bin are your battery is full give some info not only I have errors and we must to know what error you have. use charge script to charge your phone.
Try to copy script for htc one more time, it was giving me an error too but copied it the second time ( it was different ) and they resend it.
thank you all i have restored to my htc one x. thank you

Trying to root HTC One X but keep getting this error message: (Bootloader) FAILED

As the title says, I'm trying to root my HTC One X. I currently am on 4.0.4 Android version, 4.0 HTC Sense version, and software number is 2.20.502.7 710RD. I found a video tutorial with this exact software and phone and I followed all of the steps. I figured out how to install adb and fastboot so I could use fastboot commands. I changed my CID to 11111111 and got my HTC dev code. However when I go to type in the command: fastboot flash unlock Unlock_code.bin I keep getting the same error message. The error message is (Boootloader) FAILED (signature verify fail). In the tutorial this did not happen so I don't really know what to do at this point. If someone could please help that would be much appreciated.
Hello
Are you sure you have the correct unlock code?
Did you copy it correctly?
Did you place the unlock code in the fastboot folder on your PC before executing the command?
Try a different cable and/or USB port. Dont connect via a HUB
Why did you need to change the CID?
Have a look at http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/how-to-root-one-x/
Dont change to S-OFF in case you do something wrong, this will save you by keeping S-ON

Yes I copied the unlock token correctly and everything. I have not tried different USB ports. I needed to change the CID because on the One X the CID needs to be 11111111 in order to root. I haven't changed to S-OFF yet. Any other help?
The One X does not need to be 11111111 to root.
I really believe that your bootloader is still locked. Please double check and make sure the unlock code was copied exactly as per the procedure in the link i sent. Even the slightest mistake in copying will cause a fail
In fastboot mode, what does it say at the top of the screen
Also try fastboot oem unlock

I copied the code down correctly undoubtedly, at the top it says
*** TAMPERED***
*** LOCKED ***
Hboot 1.14
Should my bootloader say unlocked???
Yes it should say unlocked.
What I think has happened is that you used an incorrect/incomplete unlock code to unlock the bootloader. Hence the word TAMPERED. Perhaps even changing your CID also didn't help. Not sure.
You said you followed a video? send link of method you used
What was your original CID?
Try unlocking bootloader again. In post #2 there is a link to a tutorial. Follow this exactly.
Also double check in fastboot mode to see it it says S-OFF. To change your CID i am sure you must have changed to S-OFF?
Unlocking boot loader does not root the phone. It's just the first step
Also (but not a problem) you have an old bootloader. 1.14. That will need to be updated if you want to flash custom ROMS

I can't post a link here but if you google "how to root htc one 2.20" it should be the first one and it is by max lee. I don't have S-OFF because I used a one click method to change my CID and to get the code.
Do you an AT&T phone?
I hope so. This method is for an AT&T HTC One X
