[HELP] How to unlock a relocked HTC 10 - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

Hi guys, I hope someone brighter than me has an answer to following:
I ran HTC 10 with systemless root and HTC unlocked bootloader and wanted to try to take Nougat OTA.
This failed with red exclamation mark, I then flashed stock recovery and relocked the bootloader and tried the Nougat RUU downloadable from HTC.
This then worked and my phone is on Nougat alright, but now I want my bootloader unlocked again for twrp and root.
Trying the HTC unlock method results in this:
C:\android-tools>fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.007s
Doesn't work anymore??
So, I thought let's try Sunshine.apk again, it worked great on my M8, but this seem to force stop on Nougat when it tries to gain temproot.
I am lost... Anyone who knows a solution please?

Did you try that command from bootloader or from download mode??

I have not tried it, but I once read that you should insert the normal command when you unlocked it the first time, ie with the $ fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin and it happens the same way, if you do not have the file and you are looking for the OEM ID with $ fastboot oem get_identifier_token, you may need to activate the developer options to unlock OEM and that is your problem.

From bootloader, that's the way I was used to and it has always worked that way anyways.
Are you saying it should be done from download mode?

I indeed tried with the original Unlock_code.bin file first, but it refuses to do it complaining about 'not being able to flash that partition with S-on'...
I did enable in developer options OEM unlock checkbox also. Still no joy on current Nougat ROM.

Congratulations on getting it, I have a question regarding, how to unlock the unlock from Download Mode? Is the cell phone returning the first time it is unlocked?

Kind of an OT question, but how did you relock your HTC 10? Was it as simple as typing "fastboot oem lock" in fastboot?

That's strange because it worked with no problems for my One X. You could also try THIS to unlock your bootloader, but the tool does the same steps that you manually did with the previous tutorial.
Maybe you have overlooked some minor detail in the steps. I would recommend starting fresh on a different PC and make sure you have the drivers up to date. If indeed you did everything right, you probably have a faulty device (I really don't think that is the case).

On your bootloader does it say relocked or security warning.

Return To Stock LOCKED and S-ON

Please note you must be bootloader unlocked and S-OFF for this to work
you are doing this at your own risk dont blame me if something goes wrong i have tested this twice one on CM and once on Stock
that being said
This guide will help you return to stock un-rooted, locked, and s-on in the event you ever need to use the warranty
You will need the decrypted RUU from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...pers.com/showpost.php?p=46153741&postcount=31
I recommend copy and paste for the command so you don’t mistype something
This will lock your bootloader and make it show LOCKED not RELOCKED
While still in the bootloader type
Code:
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Once in ruu mode *blackscreen with HTC text* its time to flash the decrypted ruu make sure you have placed the rom in the folder and named it Rom.zip
Run following command
Code:
Fastboot flash zip Rom.zip
It appears some people are confused on the following. You must confirm your device successfully flashes the ruu before contiuning
It could work the first time or could error out multiple times typically it fails the first time then completes the 2nd bu not a promise also make sure you have checked the md5 hash
You will most likely get the following error
FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)
Don’t worry this is normal (typically fails the first time) (also it could boot you out of ruu mode when it does) just make sure your phone still shows its in ruu mode
If it is not just retype
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then re-run the command
Code:
Fastboot flash zip Rom.zip
Once it finishes the phone will stay in ruu mode simply type
Code:
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
At this point you are stock unrooted and bootloader locked but still s-off to change this type
Code:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
you should get a message back saying
“(bootloader) writesecureflag: partitions signature pass
OKAY [ 1.666s]
finished. total time: 1.666s”
now type
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and verify you are now S-ON andtype
Code:
fastboot reboot
and your phone will load to stock
note this will be stock version m7wlv_1.10.605.8 so you will need to take the ota to update to 605.10
hope this helps
Thanks for this!

I need HELP! I read the BIG RED PRINT about being bootloader unlocked but I still foolishly locked the bootloader prior to running this......I'm still S-Off but it will not flash the RUU. And now it is in a boot loop into recovery. I've tried running the lock unlock ADB scipt but I can't seem to get the device to connect in ADB mode.....fastboot works fine.
Hopefully I don't have a nice looking paper weight.
and BTW the reason i locked the BL is because I was reading other info on the web ( Youtube ) and got in a hurry.....LET THIS BE A REMINDER.

You do need to lock the bootloader at one point in my guide
What command did you run to lock the boot loader
Adb only works when booted in to a os
My advice is boot into bootloader then flash a custom recovery and flash cm from cm run unlock command in adb and try again following my directions

Thanks for the assit. I ran fastoot oem lock as the first step. I saw a couple of vids on youtube with those instructions. I will try your suggestions and see what happens. I left the phone at work cause I have iMac at home and I figured it was a paper weight at this point. Hopefully I will have better luck tomorrow.

just run this command from an
Code:
adb shell
su
echo -ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796
that should make it read unlocked again i ran fastboot oem lock when i was first testing and that command got me back

Thank you for the reply. I used rummrunners method for unlock and S-Off. My HTC One is a Verizon model and not unlockable on the HTCdev website. so I don't have a token.
@tpierce67 - did you try the echo command he mentioned a few posts back to get it to read unlocked again? Edit: I think it just now clicked (re-read through for the 3rd time) why you probably weren't able to run that command... no custom recovery, no rom, no adb...
@bmt626 - so I take it SuperCID isn't necessary before running this?

And it worked for you without having the unlock token? My goal is to simply have the option to return to S-ON stock Locked in case I ever needed it. I used RumRunner to unlock my device.
I was able to do this without issues.. but It's showing tampered and I have no custom recovery?
Am I screwed for now? Or is there anything additional I can do? PC won't read it.. and it won't boot..
I have the option for recovery but it kicks me back out to fastboot..

The Echo command is an ADB command and I can't get that far. I'm running out of options.
@bmt626 - thanks again for this... I'm about to run it, but have one random, anal question... do you see any reason at all that I would need my sim in and the phone activated for this to work? I can't think of one, but just wanted to throw it out there to make myself feel better before running this

[Q] Possible Brick?

I have no clue what to do now, I've searched the forums for days now. I don't know what other options I have now. I had my phones bootloader unlocked and s-off. Even had clockworkmod installed (I believe it was version 6.0.4.5) I planned on putting it back to stock when I found out it wouldn't keep a signal and randomly rebooting. I don't know what happened or what I probably did to make it happen, but now I am stuck.
Where I stand now is looking at my phone in the bootloader. I can access fastboot from there but not the recovery. When I try to boot into recovery it seems to hang on a black screen, then after a little wait it shows me a picture of a phone with a red exclamation point inside a triangle. I guessing I would be safe to assume in saying that my recovery is shot. My bootloader says that it is locked with s-on and that it has been tampered (I attached a picture below). I've even tried using an RUU, however I don't know if I am doing it properly.
So I guess my question is this, Is there anything I can do from this point?
I've already accepted the fact I might as well have a brick. Just hoping there is a last resort.
try new recovery
Since you can get into fastboot, type fastboot devices and see if yours shows in list.
If not, check out HTC usb drivers and make sure they're right. Then get most current recovery
like PhilZ's or Clockwork or TWRP.
After connection is sure, type fastboot erase cache.
Then name your recovery recovery.img and flash it: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
Then type fastboot reboot-bootloader.
Try getting into your new recovery and go from there.
Forgot to attache the picture, my bad.
I will try that now.
No dice. What I get is this.
sending 'recovery' (9138 KB)...
FAILED (data transger failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 0.001s

Somehow, you got back to S-0n Locked, and it's not gonna let you do a custom recovery now.
If I'm not mistaken, since you're still only hboot 1.54, you can flash an RUU to get back to full stock. You can grab the RUU here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428276. Just make sure it's the VZW one. You can follow the directions here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251800. That thread is in the Sprint forum, but its the same process. You should be able to skip the first part where they re-lock the bootloader. Hope this helped.
I've tried that with different versions of it, many times. After I type the 'fastboot flash zip Rom.zip' all I get is
sending 'zip' (1178304 KB)...
Edit: Then it just hangs there indefinitely until I cancel it

If you're locked and s-on I don't believe you can flash an RUU. Could be wrong, but from what I remember, you can't.

So if we are S-Off, there is no need to relock the bootloader before flashing RUU?

You would have to wait until there is a newer RUU made available, I think. If you didnt get a failed flag when sending the RUU, I would let it sit there for a while. If you did then I don't know what to tell you.
"So if we are S-Off, there is no need to relock the bootloader before flashing RUU?"
The reason I said what I did was because he was already locked. And it depends on what you're looking to do.
You need to use a signed ruu since your s-on. You can get it in the second post of santods rom radio kernel thread in development.
Once stock and running, use weaksauce and firewater to get unlocked and s-off again, if so desired.
There is no need to relock the bootloader if you are s-off, to do an ruu.
I've tried that before, probably more than once. It seems that when I'm in either fastboot or the RUU option " black screen silver HTC" it seems to freeze.
Has to be a driver issue with your pc, or a hardware issue with the phone. My guess is the drivers.
so i think i finally figured it out. long story short i uninstalled the drivers and then reinstalled and then plugged my phone in and tried it again. now i see the black screen and silver HTC with the green bar underneath it. not sure how long that stays on but i'm to scared to touch it
That is just a splash screen for ruu mode. Once in that mode, you use other fastboot cmds to flash the ruu ( fastboot flash zip nameoffile.zip ). Once the ruu finishes in the cmd window on your pc, it will still be at that screen untill you type ( fastboot reboot ).

You need to go into developer options and check to allow OEM Unlocking.
ok is there any way you can help me to do that using adb as i do not have a rom installed currently and cannot get a RUU to flash completely

Sorry. I have no idea about that. It's a new "security" feature in 5.1 and others have been having the same problem and I don't know if anyone has been able to figure out how to unlock without running an ruu.

So im in the same boad. I managed to lock myself out of my phone. Flashed stock recovery to update to android 6. NOW I'm stuck in bootloader. I can boot to recovery, download and oemRUU. When I try to run RUU i get the battery below 30% error but my phone says its 100% when I "power down" in recovery. when i try ADB SIDELOAD i get BL-unlock fail. runing unlocktoken the phone disply the warning andout unlocking the bootloader and i select YES then it display "set_unlock_bootloader_magic_type_fail" the phone reboots and the bootloader stays "re-locked"
I cant flash custom recovery or system without getting a "S-On" error or boot loader lock error. i can however flash "hosd". I tried the battery charge batt file but i don't get any readings running the command.
any help would be appreciated.

Make sure the RUU is the correct one matching the CID of your phone
change the name of the RUU to 0PJAIMG.ZIP and put it on SDCard then reboot to download mode
should be yellow text at bottom of screen (volume up to flash volume down to cancel)
(make sure SD card is fat32 and the 0PJAIMG zip file is the only thing on the card)
Have a look in the link for RUU

OKAY [ 0.061s]
finished. total time: 0.062s
Please Help me my phone will also not take an RUU update from the EXE or Zip on sd card. It freezes on the recovery screen with red text warning. I am S-On, Re-locked and have no ROM installed at the moment.

You have to enable developers options Easter egg. Go to settings/about/software information/more and keep tapping build number. You will get a toast notification telling you to tap "X#" times to enable until you see "developer mode (blah blah blah)" Go back to settings and you'll see developers options. Open it and check "allow unlock bootloader"
If you can't get marshmallow, reboot to bootloader. Check software status at top. If it says modified you won't take OTA. Back up your device internal storage to pc and flash lolipop ruu.exe and if that doesn't take, find stock ruu thread and put lolipop on sd card and reboot to download mode. This will reset status to "official" and allow you to take both parts of OTA for marshmallow. This method will wipe your entire device including internal storage (thus need for backup to pc prior)
HTC backup has been discontinued in marshmallow. You can restore from, but Google picks up backup on marshmallow.

S-On, Re-Lock, Recovery doesn't work, no ROM HELP Please?!

Hey guys i've checked the similar threads for answers before posting and was wondering if someone can help me with the similar problem.
I was rooted with s-on and tried to revert back to stock, so relocked the bootloader and now i get an error message and can't unlock the booatloader again.
Error message reads this:
"Security checking failed NOT_FIND_SMART IO
FILE /mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/OPJAIMG.zip
File NOT FOUND
I've tried everything that i could think of in FASTBOOT,
I can't get into custom recovery, can't rebootRUU because just sticks at HTC splash screen, every time i try to unlock the bootloader i get as far as the yes or no part but then it fails to unlock in download mode and won't even do it in the normal fastboot mode.
I've tried on both mac and windows and nothing works apart from getvar all and fastboot devices, i have a memory card of 32gb and and a adaptor i can plug into my laptop if that helps?
If there is any more information that i am missing, can you please let me know, i really want to get this phone sorted without having to pay to get it sorted from htc.
Thanks
Travis

If adb is okay then try flashing TWRP and go from there if successful. Have a read of my post here.

Hi I've tried to flash in fastboot as the device won't boot so I could use adb. I've relocked the bootloader as I was about to go back to stock. The only process I haven't done yet that I can think of is running the ruu.exe on my computer, but I'm having trouble finding the ruu for Europe as all the links I try are either broken or they say the file doesn't exist anymore.
Is it possible to flash a ruu through fastboot while on relocked bootloader.
Also I've tried to OEM unlock the bootloader but that doesn't work either.
Thanks for your reply, much appreciated.
