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.

You may want to do a bit more research before attempting these types of things in the future.
1. HTCDev is for unlocking your bootloader, which if you have AT&T, doesn't work.
2. A root method is available in another thread in the development section.
3. The development section is not here to post questions to developers. It is here for developers to communicate with one another and to post their work. There is a specific forum for questions called the Q&A forum.
Hope this helps.

This belongs in Q & A but if you have the att version, you cannot use htcdev to unlock your bootloader. It is being blocked by att.

and dont post here right? ...post in Q&A for future ref
Thanks

As stated already, the AT&T version is locked out and cant be unlocked by HTCDEV. There are already several threads with ongoing discussions about this and attempts to get around it.
Also, moved to Q&A...

[FIXED]Error code 160 HTCDEV

I've tried every bootloader unlock and I keep getting that error. Any thoughts? The supposed non htcdev bootloader unlocks still take me to htcdev and the same error. I'm rooted

Please read my post before telling me to read. I know that it won't work strictly through htcdev. I'm trying the bootloader unlocks in android development and am still getting that error. Do you have some information I need to know about?

I managed to unlock the bootloader for my AT&T One X. These are the steps that I took.I think that the problem I had was that my root wasn't done completely. SuperSU was installed, but whenever I tried to use an app that required root, it would ask if I was rooted.
1. I factory reset my phone through the bootloader. (For me, this removed root).
2. I uninstalled the HTC drivers on my PC, then reinstalled.
3. Re-root, using this root.
3a. USB debugging enabled​3b. Disable fastboot.​3c. Make sure HTC sync isn't running.​3d. If using desktop, plug USB into the back of the computer.​4. Check and make sure root is working properly. You can go into SuperSU and it should update SU binaries.
5. Use this tool to unlock the bootloader.
That is what worked for me. I took every precaution I could think of and it worked. Good luck!

Sounds like a CID or MID error.

I'm running 3.18 on my att one x and having zero luck unlocking my phone via htcdev... keep getting error 160. I also cant find any one click roots for 3.18?? Any special steps I should know about?
That's because htcdev blocks AT&T phones. You need to get SuperCID first. You can't have looked very hard, because there is a 3.18 root method in the General section of our phone's forum. Also, you probably need to do some reading, because you should have known these facts before attempting to alter your phone.

You can't find any 1-click roots for 3.18, because there are none.
The "special steps" you should follow, are to first start looking at my Index thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Find the root method for 3.18. Then you will need to SuperCID. Then, and only then, will you be able to unlock the bootlaoder. Read read read.
Has anybody had this issue with the HTC One M4
To anybody that knows about these forums,
I have been trying to unlock the bootloader for the new HTC One from Verizon, I went to the HTcdev website, and I follow all the instructions step by step, I paste the code into the box, then it tells me some code error 160 mid not allowed, so now I have no clue what that means, I check out the websites and they all have similar instructions on unlocking the bootloader, but they all worked and none of them got the error 160 mid not allowed, I check out the error forums, and they are just as frustrating because they get detailed into what the reason in the code is, but considering that the need for the code to be all 1111 doesn't help when the phone won't even unlock through the htcdev site.
Has anyone else come up against this particular error and if so how was it resolved? Any help is greatly appreciated:fingers-crossed:
You're I'm the wrong forum buddy, this is the HTC One XL forum.

Unlocking Bootloader Failed!

I've been using Hasoon2000's toolkit to try to root my One X. Everything was working great but when I try to enter the Token Key to unlock my bootloader I get an error......Invalid Bootlaoder Token Length.
Anyone else getting this error?
I copied the token just as explained in the toolkit.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

So you already received the token from HTC?
please help I have the same problem :silly:
If you are stuck trying to enter the token key on the htcdev site then read THIS and see if you made the same mistake. If not then you must specify in more detail your issue and what you did to get it.
Same thing happened to me a few times until I figured out that a space was being inserted at the end of the token that needed to be deleted after you paste the token -- its either that or the space that gets inserted at the end needs to be left there, I can't quite remember but after you trim all of the other unnecessary characters off the token then copy paste and give it a try

[Q] HTCdev error code for unlocking bootloader

I'm trying to unlock bootloader for my inspire and I keep getting an error:
Error Code: 173.
Error Reason: Check Rule Fail with exception.
I've read a thread that was posted about a year ago and it said something about the website messing up.....? I dunno what to do..
I did it with my HTC one VX perfectly about 2 months ago, but it wont let me do it
Can anyone explain to me why its doing this?
I tried going through the process on google chrome
Any reason you just want to unlock and not s-off? You can do much more, alot easier with s-off, and its reversable, unlike unlocking.
