[Q] New HTC Unlock Tool - Failure

Hi All,
I've just tried to use the new HTC tool and got an error message from the web tool after submitting the device ID token, error as follows:
Unlocking Bootloader Failed!
Sorry it didn't work out. Here's why:
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: 170.
Error Reason: CID Not Allowed.
I have a stock UK Vodaphone Sensation and followed the HTC instructions to the letter (Honest ;-0).
Any help or advice welcome

Its saying your cid (carrier id) is not allowed. Your cid= vodafone's cid. Looks like vodafone had not agreed to have their branded phones unlocked, unless you entered in something wrong. Expect this from most carriers though (especially tmobile here in the states) as they DO NOT want unlocked bootloaders.

Time to do it the XDA way xd

Same Problem here... i think i go with the xda-noobproof-guide

+1 for doing it the XDA way, no need for official HTC unlocker

Swyped from my HTC Sensation

Thanks
Thanks for the info, I had a sneaking feeling it was Voda raining on my parade.
I'll check out the noob guide

I'm totally speculating here but its possible that HTC is only allowing unbranded (CID: HTC__001) units in the first stage of the rollout.

[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] There may be no solution to what I've done.

Hello everyone. I've been following XDA since I first laid hands on a Nexus One. Thanks to all of you, I've been able to hack, mod, customize, etc. with only a few close calls. My ATT One X has proven to be a little more tricky and unforgiving. Long story short, I'm stuck in fast boot with an incorrectly changed CID (HTC_621) and a relocked bootloader. I was hoping to get another unlock token from HTC but I think they've abandoned the link. My only other hope was to edit the CID of the "android-info" file in the rom.zip of the RUU, but WinRAR says corrupt archive error when I change the text file. WinZIP won't even open the package--says its invalid. Bottom line, I've exhausted all resources as far as recovering from bad flashes and boot loop. My problem is that damn CID. Any bright ideas guys?

Official ROM zips are signed.
The signature makes the zip non standard so some apps wont open them and most everything else will not modify the file.
Even if you could modify you would make the signature invalid so it would not flash unless you had s-off.
By "Abandoned link" do you mean HTC will not send you an unlock token because the CID is invalid?
Have you tried your previous unlock token?
Without getting a valid unlock token I am unsure if what you can do.

Just out of curiosity, what were you trying to do exactly and what CID is that?

he was probably trying to flash the international jelly bean =)

It's an Endeavour CID for HTC Asia in Taiwan. And we wonder why HTC locks bootloaders and write-protects system partitions.
To the OP: This would not have worked anyway because you were trying to install software for a completely different phone.
Your original unlock token should still work. Trying unplugging and powering off your phone, rebooting your computer, and try flashing it again.

I thought unlock tokens were locked to the current CID?
If you change CID you need a new unlock token?
That is how my phone worked

It's worth a shot. If it doesn't work, I don't see any way out. He can't run the RUU, he can't boot up, and he can't unlock. There might be some low-level fix via Linux. Try the unbricking Evita thread.
