[Q] HTCdev error. "Unlock token check failed"

I get this error on the 12th step on htcdev bootloader unlock thingy and i get this error: FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)
I have tried different methods but nothing have worked ...
I have tried to unistall and then restart and then installed all the drivers again 2 times, didnt work. I tried on my laptop and that wouldnt work either...
So if anyone know what this means or anything please answer on this thread!!
I also e-mailed the htcdev support and they said this: "Dear Pontus,
Thank you for contacting HTC.
I understand that you are experiencing problems unlocking your bootloader.
I think the root of the problem is that your unlock token is not valid.
To get a new, hopefully working, token go to HTCdev.com and follow the instructions there to download one."
Ive tried to do that also but it didnt work either so please guys help me out here!!!

What Version of hboot Do you have now?
I get mine back from warranty repair with 1.29.0000, cause they put a new Board in it.
May be there is an experience developer who want an image of my Stockrom to check some possibilities?

yeah same as, 1.29.0000

I have the same problem. Only difference is that I got my phone back with HBoot 1.18.0000. I could't unlock it via revo and htc dev. After the ICS update I have 1.27.0000. New board, too I think their doing this for every sent in sensation, because my sensation had a broken volume button and dust under the screen. So changing the board was completly pointless.

Is there new news or solution to unlock bootloader?..i am on new matherboard.

I've got the same, rooted phone back from repair. ICS preinstalled, HBOOT 1.29 and can't unlock it. Don't fancy the 'juopunutbear' method bridging connections etc, sounds messy.
Whole list of parts replaced for the dust under the screen problem, board changed giving new imei, wifi mac, bt mac etc etc.
I've replied to my 'repair thread' on HTC website telling them of the problem, I bought HTC so I could unlock and use OpenVPN. Will see what they say!

OK, update from me. I've logged a support request with HTCDEV, after going through the usual check details / make sure it's not something I'm doing wrong they're escalating it.
Given them details of serial number, IMEI, android/sense versions etc and it's being looked into.
I'll come back here once I've had something new from them, but at least the problems being looked at.

I Get This From htc_dev when I send that i flash Unlock_code.bin FAILD:
With regards to your enquiry, kindly this message means that you still have update so kindly we ask you to have the last update then try to unlock your bootloader.NOTE: as we mentioned in our last email between us that unlocking bootloader will make you out of warranty.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
WTF this means ???

***LOCKED***Security Warning on bootloader

Hi all,
I have tired to flash the new Rom yesterday and during checking the signature device reboot and installer said that it can not proceed.
After reboot phone goes directly into fastboot and gives ***Locked*** with Security Warning massage. I have tried different RUU but it is exactly the same.
Installation is failing on the checking signature.
I have tried Unrevoked3 but it is not able to find the device. Could you please let me know how to do it?

You will certainly get the answer there.

Link does not work:
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

I have tried to find an answer but no luck so far, I am quite new to this. Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction?

Another solution is to try the RUU 2.10.401.8
I had some problems with the same Ruu, but not with the signature, and the previous version worked flawlesly.
What's your CID?
Sent from my HTC Desire S

I have tried few others RUU and every single of them is falling during the installation.

ok I manage to unlock the device finally
But again it is falling during the installation of a new ROM. Do I have to revert back Hboot to 0.98 before installation? if so how to do it?

So the RUU that I recommended completed successfully?
What do you want to do next?
Now you are S-ON, if you want to install custom roms you have to unlock your bootloader with the htcdev method(you will lose your warranty and need to flag manually the boot file) or to downgrade.

I want to downgrade the phone to orginal ROM T-mobile uk. So I could take off the simlock, I have put the unlocking code yesterday but nothing happens. I was advised to downgrade the rom and should be ok.

Could some help me out with my problem please when ever I am trying to upload new rom it is stuck on signature verification.

I will quote Enigmaamit as he said it better than me:

The only way to SIM-unlock your phone yourself is a XTC clip... better ask your phone operator.

I know the diffrance between those two, I have ordered unlocking code. After putting this into device when ever I put into new sim card it stoped nofifing me about it. But it is not able to find a new network. Below what I have receive form operator:
"It said "Successful" but nothing has happened
Darren
posted this on Apr 11 16:22
This has happened to a handful of customers who have all had one thing in common - the phones have been "rooted".
By rooting a handset the owner has removed some of the restrictions on the phone, which allows the owner to install whichever software of the phone that they wish. Unfortunately this has caused some issues when an unlock code has been entered.
It is easily rectified by reinstalling the original operating system that the phone was supplied with, then applying the unlock code and the phone should be unlocked, truly, successfully.
You can then reinstall the software you had on the phone before attempting the unlock and continue using the phone as you wish."
So that is the reason why I am trying to revert any changes.

i for one don't believe this

So their replay is bull**** in that case?

In my opinion yes(i can't say that i am a very experienced user) but i like to think i know some stuff about this.
I can't imagine what custom rom/Ruu version/app will "block" you to sim unlock your phone.
The only restrictions may be made by the phone manufacturer.

So i will try through HTC Clip in that case. But why I can upload any new RUU?

like i said earlier, i had some problems to with the 2.10.401.9 ruu.
Try the 2.10.401.8 it should work, if your phone is branded try a gold card.

[Q] failed to get s-off

I have just had this phone which i tried to S-off at the HTCdev. But it showed an error message saying:"We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.
Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.
Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won't work"
I used CMD and copied exactly but seemed not working...using desire s running on 2.3.5 with HBoot 2.00.0002 and software 2.15x.......can anyone help me with this??

First, you're trying to unlock the bootloader, not S-OFF. You won't get S-OFF by what you're doing. Read the other thread that's at the top, "S-OFF versus unlocking the bootloader via HTCDev", to understand what does what and what are the limitations of the method you're trying to follow.
Second, you failed copying the code correctly. Most likely you misunderstood the instructions that say where to start copying, from which line.

[Q] Unlocked Bootloader using HTC Dev, now phone has no service

Hi all.
I have A HTC Sensation, on Orange (UK).
The handset was completely standard, untouched. I have followed the guide to unlock my bootloader using HTC dev.
It seemingly worked, and I held volume down and pressed power and verified that the text at the top said "UNLOCKED". great
When I booted the phone, it gave me the "fresh start" intro screens, which I followed through on.
Once completed, the phone loaded to the normal home screen, but now gets no signal. Its always 0 bars and "NO SERVICE" warning.
Only thing I have done is as above, so unsure what could have gone wrong?
Only thing I can think is that I chose the wrong "what phone do you have" option on HTCDev. I chose HTC Sensation (EU), as the phone is not on tmobile, and not vodafone, and IS european. However, tmobile and orange are now part of the same umbrella company, so perhaps something bad happened there?
Unsure what I should do next? Re-lock the bootloader? Any suggestions very gratefully welcomed! Thanks

Hmm.. that's really weird. Unlocking the bootloader doesn't affect your cell phone signals. I would run a RUU and see if that fixes the problem.
Here's the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26541170
Follow steps 2&3.
Before you do, try taking out your sim and putting it back in. I highly doubt you put your sim in the wrong way, but I did this before (I don't think I'm the only idiot out there)
Sent from my HTC Sensation

Thanks. I'll follow that guide.
SIM card is in OK. Was I supposed to remove the SIM when I was unlocking the bootloader? I didn't do that.

Just waiting for the RUU file to download.
The guide says I need one with a higher or equal version to my main version. My main version is 3.x and the highest version I can find via the links in the guide are 1.x. Will this be ok?
I'm really not sure how the phone got this screwed up.If I did select the incorrect device type in HTCDev (i.e. I selected Sensation EU and should have selected Sensation Tmobile) would that possibly cause this problem?
Would it be worth re-locking, then unlocking using the tmobile device? Guessing I would be supplied with a different unlock_code.bin?
EDIT: Just checked and the tmobile device choice is actually for "tmobile USA", so looking like I chose the correct device after all.

RUU I had failed. As I say my version is 3.x and this was 1.x so I'm not surprised.
My exact version reads: 3.32.61.51
Can anyone suggest a RUU file that I can have a go with, or any other suggestions?
Bootloader is currently RELOCKED.
Thanks

Did you try this ruu?

Sent from my HTC Sensation

Yes, I tried the first one you posted, which wouldnt work (too old presumably).
I will try one of the unbranded ones; but unsure if they are suitable as I have an Orange logo when I boot?
Thanks

Still waiting for the RUU to download, so will probably carry on looking at this in the morning now.
A little more info that might give someone an idea:
If i go into settings, and click on "Mobile settings" and go to choose carrier, the phone searches for carriers.
25% of the time it says "no network found"
75% of the time, it finds O2.
25% of the time it finds 3 or vodafone
It never finds orange. It seems it IS looking for networks though?
If I put the SIM card in my very old dumb-phone, it finds orange fairly quickly and connects.
Thanks for any help

There's another option. You can try to s-off your phone with ganeshp's guide and then flashing the 3.33 firmware which contains the newest radio and stuff.

Sent from my HTC Sensation

Hi guys
Thanks to you both for your suggestions.
This morning I unlocked the phone once more, and still had limited service. I then re-locked once again, and as soon as the phone booted it had full service, and has done ever since.
I have no idea what went wrong (they HTC Dev article is pretty straightforward, so I don't think I did anything wrong), and the action that I did above (unlock, relock) I must have done 5 times last night without any effect.
I am still determined to root the phone, so will probably end up with another broken handset soon But at least I will be doing it at the weekend this time, instead of midnight on a Thursday when I have to work at 7 the next day!
Thanks for all the help, I'm sure I'll be back with more questions (problems!) soon.

No problem! Glad to try to help

Following this minor hiccup (still no idea why it happened) I've now got managed to:
Unlock

Get SU
Get S-off
So thanks for all the help. I'm a complete beginner, but the guides on this site are great and really easy to follow.
