[Q] Need unlock.bin

I bought my HOX off Craigslist, already unlocked. So, I do not have the unlock.bin code and I need it in order to upgrade by Hboot. Any ideas on how to get it? Could I just go on HTC.dev and go through the unlock process again even though I'm already unlocked, just to get the code?

EDIT: mine is unlocked, was still able to get unlock_code.bin

By going through the process on HTC Dev or by getting it from the seller?

Great idea to contact the seller, man! I got a hold of him and he emailed it to me. Thanks!

Follow up question: Do I need to be able to open the .bin file he sent me? When I try to open it, my computer says it can't open that type of file. Or, can I just leave it as is?

It's not meant for you to read it, at all!
You will be able to use it through fastboot when you want to unlock your bootloader (providing that you did relock it beforehand)!

Lost my Sony Bootloader Code: Now What?

Registered and got my bootloader code from Sony last night.
I didn't write it down and now I can't access it. I'm told an email has been sent to me to verify my address but I've got no such email.
Can someone please explain my options. I have searched for a site where I can pay for a code but can't find one.
Help would be appreciated, I'm so close but yet so far!

Hi Spinning_Top,
I think you can just go back through the same steps on Sony's website that you took to get the unlock key the first time... and get the unlock key again. Have you tried it again to see if that would work?

Can this Pixel 2 XL device be bootloader unlocked? Currently locked. (How to check)

Can this Pixel 2 XL device be bootloader unlocked? Currently locked. (How to check if a device can be bootloader unlocked - the seller does not know)
I am uploading an image of the fastboot (bootloader) mode.
This phone's model is G011C. Is there a way to tell by that?
Thanks!

Connect to wi-fi, enable Developer options, check to see if OEM unlocking is available to enable. If it is,
you can unlock by using unlock instructions found here and everywhere.
If that does not work, it's probably a Verizon version and not unlockable; however
there's an outside chance that a factory reset followed by enabling Dev Options might
allow unlock if it's possible.

It's probly Verizon if not unlocked by above. You can find out for sure by entering IMEI here: http://www.imeipro.info/check_lg.html
If it's VZN, that will show up in detail of report.

If you haven't already, you need to look in the 'guides' forum. There's a topic specifically to unlock the BL, and you'll also have to follow the info when you have a Verizon variant, which you have, because that's the one that doesn't have the OEM unlock in dev settings.
It's not that hard to do. Finding a workable TWRP is more involved. Not so much finding it but getting it installed. Because there is no recovery partition any more, twrp has to be ram-disk injected into the boot partition, that's where it gets more complicated.
