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?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
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.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It also says this:
When copying the token, start with this line:
Code:
<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>
And end with this line:
Code:
<<<<< Identifier Token End >>>>>

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.
just got the m9 and trying to unlock the bootloader. have been on htcdev and received my unlock bin file but i keep get this result
C:\adb>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
target reported max download size of 800000000 bytes
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.028s]

any help would be grateful
cheers
go to developer options and check allow oem unlocking, and your good to go
Trying to unlock the bootloader, got my Unlock_code.bin file, but when I try to use it I get this error message:
C:\Users\Will\Desktop\fastboot>fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin

And of course when I reboot into bootloader it says it is locked. Tried moving the file with fastboot and the unlock_code file to a couple different places and nothing helped, and rebooting both phone and PC. Any ideas?

Did you enable unlocking in dev options?
If so, many others who have had an issue with their unlock tokens reported that using a different browser worked for them. Search the forum, there's at least one thread on about it.
Also the error message says your unlock token is 0KB. Are you sure the file is complete?
Maybe try redownload it and verify it with an MD5 hash.
I figured it out, it was just that I copied the code to get the unlock file improperly when I was in CMD. I had to copy it, but I had to turn off "enable line wrapping selection" in the cmd properties, when I tried before to copy it I ended up copying a bunch of extra info that I edited out in notepad, and I think that caused an extra space or error to be somewhere in the code, even though it worked on the HTC site. Anyway thank you for the tips guys!

Maybe your computer automatically extracted the file or something

I had to request unlock multiple times and use different browsers until it finally worked. I believe it finally worked when I completed the process with the MS Edge browser.

go to settings, developer options, and check OEM unlocking,(tap build number numerous times in settings to activate developer options)also make sure usb debugging is checked
