[Q] [Help] HTCdev bootloader unlock not working - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been looking for the past couple days and have not found an obvious answer for my issue. So hopefully this isn't an answered repeat but if so pleas link ^-^.
I received my HTC One M8 dev edition the other day and was hoping to get it unlocked with probably cynogenmod installed while it was fresh but I am having issues with the bootloader unlock. So far I am able to get my unlock code from HTC and when I flash it the command window shows success but I never receive the prompt on the phone to commit to the unlock. I found out the hard way that it didn't auto accept since I soft bricked installing twrp and no longer have access to the recovery even after reflashing a stock one (but at least I have phone access again).
Has anyone had and found a solution to this problem? I was really looking forward to having a nice custom rom but seem to be stuck with the factory dev edition which is still loads better than the carrier edition. I will consider a non HTC bootloader unlock if I have to but the dev unlock seems nice and easy.
Hopefully some one can just tell me I did something retarded and all will be good ^-^.
Also I have tried Squabbi's toolkit but it ends up the same way, but less command prompts.
Thanks

You should be able to enter recovery by going to fastboot and using the volume keys to navigate to the recovery option, and picking it by pressing the power button.
To enter fastboot with your phone on, hold down the power button and vol. up until your phone turns off (20 seconds or so). AS SOON AS IT TURNS OFF, switch to power button and vol. down. Then go to the recovery option, and you are in.
And while you are in fastboot, you might as well try running the unlock key again. If it doesn't work, go back to HTCDev for another. I'm not sure how that works, but I think you could get another code if you can't get this one to work.

Currently when I try to enter recovery it enters a boot loop and freezes on the HTC screen. From what I read this is from trying to install a custom recovery with a locked bootloader. That part I can live with for now since it does not seem to be an issue, just the outcome of my mistake. My biggest issues seems to be the bootloader unlock not working. unless the two are related which could be as I am fairly new to this process.

So, have you tried the code again? And/or have you gone back to the HTCDev site for a new unlock code?

I have tried two unlock tokens so far and tried both of them several times. It's almost like I'm submitting something wrong and don't know it. When I submit the token I am including both the start and end brackets which is what it appears to be asking for and not just the string between them.

Are you copying and pasting the very first part of the code?
The part that looks like:
"(bootloader) < please cut following message >
(bootloader)" ?
IMMEDIATELY after that is what you copy and paste.
The copy should start when it says "<<<< identifier token start >>>>"

I am only copying the <<<< identifier token start >>>> and <<<< identifier token end >>>> along with the string between and leaving out the bootloader tag that is on each line.

I guess one question I should be asking is are there any settings on the phone that I need to set? I have developer options activated, usb debugging on, and the fastboot option unchecked in the power settings. Other than that the phone is stock settings. I remember my s4 needed to be in a specific usb connection mode but since they are completely different phones im not sure if that will apply here.

You seem to be doing everything right. I'm stumped. Hopefully someone else comes along with a solution. @redpoint73?

That's what I was afraid of haha. I don't know why but while I am no expert in this area I do not feel I'm ignorant either yet I always seem to have problems even when I follow the steps correctly >.<
I do appreciate the troubleshooting greatly thank you. I will keep trying things and see what I can find and if I figure it out you bet I will add it here because I can't be the only one getting stuck haha.

Can you please post the results of
fastboot getvar all
Make sure you remove your IMEI before posting.

Ummm, yeah . . . in fact I think I do:
Maybe I'm missing something here. But the Dev Edition comes already bootloader unlocked, and therefore should be no reason to do so.
I think the prompt to unlock never comes up on the phone, since its already unlocked.

Yes, this will tell us a lot.
Or boot into bootloader and just see if it says LOCKED, RELOCKED or UNLOCKED.
I bet it says UNLOCKED.

[Q] phone wont connect to seus or pc companion

my verizon xperia is not recognized by either pc companion or seus. I am trying to do a hard reset due to the fact the lockscreen doesnt work. I have read that I can press and hold the back and search keys on front while powering on to factory reset the phone, however that does not seem to be the case. Can anyone give me some suggestions if the two button factory reset does work and that maybe I am just doing it wrong. And any suggestions as to how to get my phone to connect with seus so I can reset if teh 2 button trick is indeed not an option. Thank you to all in advance.
Doesnt anyone have an idea? I follow seus instructions. Power off wait 30 seconds, then plug in the usb cord to the pc, then press and hold the back button then inserting the usb cable into the phone... and then I wait for it to connect which it doesnt.
have you tried removing the battery wait a bit and put it back and then try again. I had something similar happen when I first got mine.
yes.... I waited beyond the 30 seconds it suggests. I eve waited about 2 hours once. Still nothing......I really want to get this device working.....it does power up. Everything seems like its supposed to work but it isn't. Thank you for helping me... I really really appreciate it.
hey, if youre comfortable, we can unlock the bootloader on it. if we do that, then you can just use fastboot and the files you can get off of my State of Development thread to return you back to stock. You could also root it. If that interests you, send me a pm with your ESN and Ill get you an unlock code.
Or do you still wanna try to figure out the **** fest that is SEUS?
I would love to unlock the bootloader. I have always had motorola android phones so even though i have never unlocked the bootloader I would love to.
Where would I find the ESN #? I am not able to get past the lock screen....so all I can do it make emergency calls
I have PM'd you my phones info. Thank you for your assistance
What is preventing you from passing the lock screen exactly? Programming?
the phone says that the pattern lock attempts has been exceeded... and the only way to unlock is to enter either a gmail info or answer the question. Neither of which I know.
Ahh! phew i thought it was more serious than that. Were you able to have the phone activated on your Verizon account okay? The esn wasnt blacklisted or anything?
And the funny thing is, even if you HAD got seus working, it would not have fixed that problem. SUES doesnt wipe the device as far as I know.
the *#06# in the emergency dialer doesnt show anything?
also the MEID is under the battery.
I have not activated the phone as I cant really use it in its current state. I did check with Verizon and the phone can be activated no problems.
I do have the MEID #, is it safe to list it here?
Also, the phone does not take the #* code, says its not an emergency number
K, i have successfully unlocked my bootloader on my phone..... I am trying to make sense of what to do next
YAY!!!!!. I unplugged and rebooted the phone after unlocking the bootloader and now my phone is back... I can sign into google now
you should use this command and reflash the stock system
fastboot flash system system.sin -w
this will erase usersettings and reinstall the stock rom.
make sure you have the rom downloaded.
edit- Never mind.

Thats great! totally forgot that actually unlocking the bootloader performs a factory reset. So awesome! Go get you some root!
now that I have it restored, the screens touch sensitivity is all over, it keeps thinking I am trying to load up voice commands. I would like to flash a rooted ROM, and from what I have read on kernals for the r800x theres nothing worth flashing just yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to flash a rooted stock rom?
Also, I am still not able to enter Flash mode with the whole back button while inserting usb cable. the light is still blue.... any suggestions?
You shouls be holding the search key.
sent from the original unlocked R800X.
i will try the search button instead. Also I flashed a kernal and now the phone is super slow. How do I flash the stock ROM and stock kernal. I am doing some reading but I am still lost. seems like I get routed to xperia arc pages...... can anyone give me some guidance. sorry to be a pain, but I am excited to learn

Hey, everything you need to know is in the many pages (and the initial post which is constantly updated) on my State of Development thread. Read through there and you will see that everyone else is also having problems with the kernels and roms making the phone unresponsively slow. The first post also has links for stock files that you might need.
Basically if you get your phone into fastboot mode (turn off, hold search key, plug in USB line, solid blue light turns on) you can do two commands to get you back to stock, and then follow the rooting instructions that I have on the R800x Rooting thread. Its linked in the state of development thread. Second item, i believe, below the link to Bin4rys.
The two commands would be "fastboot flash system system.sin" and "fastboot flash boot kernel.sin". the first command might not be necessary even, just the kernel one might fix you.

[Q] Stuck at Unlock Bootloader screen

My soft brick Verizon gnex is giving me a bit of trouble. It was stock, locked, and all those other things that you all probably frown upon, but worked fine for me and I had not reason to change this. It got stuck in a boot loop and a hard reset and wipe didn't do anything. I found efrant's guide and got everything set up. fastboot devices results in a correct read of my device and I can run fastboot reboot-bootloader, which I did as a check to make sure computer to phone commands were working fine.
The problem is that when I run fastboot oem unlock, I get the unlock bootloader?, can scroll to "Yes" and then my phone gets stuck there...indefinitely. I've let it go for up to two hours and don't get anywhere. If I terminate with a battery pull/ unplug, I get a "too many links" error. Running wug's toolkit does the same thing. Rebooting into fastboot works, but the phone is still locked. If I select "No" on the unlock screen, I get the Google splash forever. Any suggestions?
i hate to ask this question... but...
when you scrolled to yes, did you press the power button to accept the selection?

I wish the solution were that easy (though if I were that stupid....yikes). I did hit the power button and cannot scroll to No. The device is really just stuck there. My cmd prompt is just hanging (...) too. I suppose it could be that the communication is only going one way (computer to phone) but somehow isn't going phone-to-computer. I've tried different drivers/cords/USB ports, but (right now) don't have another computer that I can play around on.
I may give it one last driver reinstall try, but it's looking like Odin is the way to go?

No dice. Samsung offered to let me send it back, but I never got around to it. If you send yours in and/or figure it out, let me know and I may turn my current paperweight into something usable. Best of luck, and sorry I don't have more to offer!
OK thanks for clearing that out. I have tried everything, it seems that memory is corrupted and that's why bootloader can't format it and is stuck at unlocking... I will update if I found anything.

Can't unlock bootloader.

Hi all,
I've tried to do a fair bit of digging, but I've come to realize I'm in a fairly unique position.
So to start it all, I wanted to play with some new roms. I installed a few but had weird issues, which I now understand it was due to having the wrong kernel. So I went to flash a newer kernel but ran into issues..
Now my phone ONLY get into download and bootloader page, can't get into recovery nor does it go into a rom which means I can't turn on USB debugging. Ontop of that, my bootloader is locked, when I go through the standard process via the HTC website, get my unlock token and fastboot it. My device gets stuck at the "Use volume buttons and press power to select" part of the process. Sometimes I can highlight yes, but when I press the power button to select, it freezes and reboots shortly after and thus the great loop continues. I can't flash anything else because it says bootloader is locked etc.
Info on downloads mode:

I've tried looking for RUU's but it feels next to impossible to find the right one, or links that are still active.
If anyone has any idea's that would be amazing! I'm literally lost and have spent hours trying to sort it out.

First off you should be posting in the Q&A section which stands for Question and Answer.....
Second you can try this including the suggested RUU
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/htc-10-wont-possibly-bricked-t3731363
Have a read and try the described method. Trust me it can't hurt your phone except that it would update to the latest Android version because your version is from the stone age!

Google Pixel 3XL fastboot locked and Recovery not working

Hello guys, I just got a Pixel 3XL from somebody and I thought I could make it to work, but now I'm stucked. The phone is stucked in fastboot and the bootloader is LOCKED. I tried to unlock it using GUIDE for Google Pixel 3 XL unlock bootloader, but I cannot do this task 100% because I cannot enable OEM unlock and USB debugging since the phone is stucked in fastbood mode. Also, if I try to get into recovery mode, when I press the power button to get into recovery, the phone turns off. I ust want to make it stock.
Any idea how to solve this? Thank you
try sideloading the full OTA.

The answer is the same as in your other thread. If you cannot get into recovery mode and your bootloader is locked there is nothing you can do. The mystery is how you lost recovery with a locked bootloader... it may have been unlocked at one time and someone re-locked it?

Not if you can't fastboot the boot.img there isn't. Like the others said, if you can't get into stock recovery to side load the OTA, your kinda hosed.

No, nothing you can do because you cannot fastboot flash any partition when the bootloader is locked, and without a working recovery you cannot use adb to sideload an OTA. My guess is your friend at one time had the bootloader unlocked but he later locked it back before giving it to you. Once the bootloader is unlocked it should never be locked again... unless you know exactly what you are doing and have good reason to do so. If you have tried multiple times to unlock the bootloader using fastboot -and- exhausted all means of booting to recovery (you are positive you know how to get there and cannot) then there is no way to recover. Until one of these two things changes you cannot get back in. Sorry man!

You mention not being able to toggle OEM unlock or USB debugging, but are you sure they are not already toggle? Have you tried locking or unlocking the bootloader from fastboot (hopefully you can see the device on your computer when plugged in)? Your issue reminded me of another thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78277194&postcount=260 where it looked like an unlock only partially worked. I assume you are not the registered owner and cannot contact Google about the issue.

Might be worth posting something on the Google forum. If an agent isn't checking registration, you might get some ideas. The only thing else I can think is that there may be some key combination (vol down or up and hold) when pressing the power button to get to recovery to keep it from shutting down. Good luck.

Any way to fix Bootloader ?

wait why did you run fastboot oem lock??
if you were wanting to lock you need to run an RUU first (for future reference)
by the "phone can't boot anymore" do you mean like nothing. completely dead? (Bricked)
you can't get to bootloader or download mode? Try holding volume up, volume power and power for a few minutes, see if does anything.
does it show charging light?
I am not experienced enough to give more details, esp about motherboard, but if can get to download or bootloader try RUU that matches the firmware on it.
(gotta be very sure about what you're doing when running commands esp. once the device is unlocked. once unlocked it's on you what you flash and run..)

Because there is a damn app only can run when the bootloader is locked... so I did that -.-. Now when I power up my phone it only show "HTC" for half second then power off automatic. If I plug the power cable, it will keep turning on and off

which app?
also why were you trying to lock?
I can't say but it seems like it could be a pain, but I hope not!

Oh dear!
I dont like to tell you this, but you have hard bricked your phone and it cannot be fixed using software.
Locking the bootloader is ONLY for when you are on pure stock. Even having a custom recovery (like TWRP) isnt allowed even if the ROM is stock.
In locking it, you have hard-bricked it, and there isnt ANY way to recover this using software. Nobody on XDA has EVER been able to sort this one out.
Your best bet is one of two options:
1. Buy a new phone. Yeah, pain I know, but the HTC 10 is now 3.5 years old and it might be cheaper to just buy a new phone than try to fix it.
2. Get it fixed at a repair shop. I can imagine that a few local places might not be able to do it, but maybe somewhere can. It's worth an ask?
I seem to recall that using a JAVA card or something like that you might be able to fix it, but if you have locked the bootloader with a custom rom on it, then the chances are it is over for you.
Hey, don't beat yourself up too much about it; we've all done stupid things in the past. I reversed my car into a concrete post last month and it cost me a fortune to fix it!
Such is life.....

Bro, never relock the bootloader. That's just a bad idea. You most likely hard bricked your phone and there is no way back. That's not 100% for sure but if u flashed any non-htc images the bootloader will not boot it. Thats why you keep it unlocked, so it can boot unsigned images. That's why it keeps shutting off.
