Anyone having issues unlocking the bootloader?
Every time I submit my "token" I get a message saying the token is the wrong length, tried several times with different tokens but get same error.
Done this several times on various HTCs without problems, any suggestions?
Completely stock 401 device.
Cheers
And, yes, the "oem unlocking" is ticked also "debugging".

You have to make sure you delete all the empty spaces before and after the last line. In Windows 10 you basically copy the entire line in CMD. Make sure after the last ">" is nothing left.
Send me your token output. I can generate the unlock file for you

Worked perfectly, thanks very much for your help. Do you have any idea why I couldn't do it through the htcdev site ?

No idea, i had to re-allign the code from the top to the bottom at least. Could be just one of those days.
good it worked, now you can proceed :good:

I read a thread this morn where someone had same issues as me. It seemed to sort the problem when he used a different browser. He used chrome, eventually, which seemed to sort the issue.

Through my experience of the issue I had, it would give you the access error due to the security warning but it could be a different problem but as you said above give it a go and let me know buddy.

It might be a silly question, but how to run the bat? I keep the phone in USB fastboot and Irun it?

Just drag the .BAT file into where the fastboot location is, Run the .BAT with the phone plugged in and it should repeatedly reboot with the cmd window open on the desktop.

If you turn the phone on without charging it or having a cable connected, just below the REUNLOCKED word at the top of the Hboot does it say ** Security warning **?

Fingers crossed someone will be able to help you out I am sure they will they are good guys on here!
It's great you took the effort!!! Thanks a bunch man!
You are more than welcome, one last thing you can try is Follow the procedure of getting the UNLOCK-CODE.BIN via the DEV site by copy all that text on the DEV site and see if it will accept that at all.
Tried already, access denied, i cannot push apparently any command via Win Cmd

Important guys: flash stock recovery and use a stock twrp backup, otherwise phone won't bout after relock. So unlocking is as before. Like platinumnick said

If you were not on full stock rom without root, or anything custom, and you turned off OEM unlocking and USB debugging, then locked the bootloader, you are basically hosed my friend
Look at this point it just needs to be said... PEOPLE STOP RE-LOCKING THE DARN BOOTLOADER!!
PERIOD!!
There are literally a half dozen posts this week with probably bricked phones and a good amount of them are this same root cause.

Your preaching to the choir ol friend! While I agree with you 100%, some things are best learned the hard, and expensive way! I've done it twice myself.
The carpenters rule should apply to these phones as well...."measure twice, cut once" :good:
I remember and I'm sure that i left USB debugging enabled, and the bootloader locked, so is there any hope ?

My friend.....you could give me or anybody else 10 thousand bucks, and it's still not going to solve your problem I'm sorry to say. You should have unrooted the phone first, then fastbooted the factory image, or do a factory reset, and made sure that OEM unlocking & USB debugging were left on until you were done locking the bootloader. Sorry man, but there's not much you can do without at least a stock recovery, so....accept the loss, learn from your mistake, and move on. Many of us here, including myself, have been there as well. What you choose to learn from it is up to you

You are correct. Unfortunately, he has no stock recovery anymore
I've tried to lock the bootloader. But after locking the bootloader the phone restarts and shows the message that Can't Find Valid Operating System.
In FastBoot Mode it shows:
Secure Boot -Yes
Device State - Locked
My Bootloader Version - TMZ20k
Baseband Version - g8998-00253-1809191716
What's the solution?
Hope you didn't try to lock the bootloader without being fully stock...
If so, you've just bricked your phone.
If you're fully stock, you can bootloader unlock the phone again and start over.

does your computer recognize your phone?
if so make sure you have up to date adb/fastboot
boot into bootloader then open command prompt
type fastboot flashing_unlock
why did you relock your bootloader?
maybe try deuce's script or the all in one tool. They're pretty handy

After entering this command "fastboot flashing unlock"

You could try sideloading the OTA through stock recovery like @Edmontonchef suggested. I don't think it'll work, but at this point, anything is worth a try.

Or any of the other 100s of stickies that the vast majority never read?
Those stickies?
I'm actually AMAZED at the "right now, immediate gratification" mentality of so many people nowadays.
I have this $800+ device, I want to customize it, what should I do first?
1) read the OPs and research the guides for my device PRIOR to messing with it,
or
2) skip all the research and OPs and flash my new device the way I flashed my Note 3 from five years ago?
