So i want to root my htc one x, saw that you did it through htcdev to unlock your bootloader well i went through all the steps, copied my identifier token in submiteted it but it came back saying this
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.
can anyone help me i did all the steps correctly, is anyone else having this trouble and is there any other way to root my OneX helppppppppp
Thank.

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...
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

Hi all,
Again I've searched everywhere and can't find this so I must post my second in 1.5 years of lurking.
I'm usually good at breaking in to my phones but turns out I know only enough to be dangerous. I think the backup.ab file is my last option before I give up on this phone. Basically I can't re-unlock the bootloader due to an error 150 after making a mess of my phone and supercid (returned to stock values) etc. I'm hoping a full restore will help me pass the bootloader unlock however I didn't learn about it until recent so don't have one. Something is different about the RUU's maybe or possibly htcdev doesn't give out more than one unlock code.
Feel free to help if you can by offering a link to an s4 backup.ab file, another way to unlock without htcdev, or using this code...

I'm in the same boat. I have the original unlock code as I thought it would always work but my token has changed 2 times noticeably in the last week so I don't think it will work. Also I have a full backup so have my original boot and recovery but can't write them. That's why I asked about the backup.adb file since I thought maybe it will bypass security and bring me back to stock and perhaps original token.

That's what I'd like to know but you can make your own prior to unlocking and rooting or whatever you do with adb backup command and follow directions on your phone. It was pretty quick and painless with my new android phone. Do a search and you'll see more info on the subject.
Hello All,
I recently received a recycled MPQ from Sprint and in attempting to unlock the device I am informed (via Motorola - Unlock My Device) that this device is not eligible for unlocking! Maybe it was already unlocked once before and Moto doesn't clear the system even though Sprint does? Like maybe it is already tied to another user? Or shows that its already been unlocked? In any event. I may be sending this phone back for yet another recycled device and I assume I will have potentially the same problem. Rather than going to that hassle, is there a work around method for unlocking the bootloader without going thru Motorola?
TIA
Matt
Hi there,
You may need to make sure you remove the spaces from the number sequence when you paste it into the web page. Try pasting them into Notepad first, then you can check for/delete the spaces, and copy/paste into the moto unlock page.
I was getting the same result until I worked this out.

Actually, I transferred the code 1 at a time. I did not copy and paste. When it failed the first time I went back and did it again, it was exactly the same, an exact copy of the code. I verified and re-verified. No worky.
Also, I dont remember having "#"'s in my code on my old device but this one had several.
I think the unlocked boot warning would show if it had been previously unlocked.
Sounds like something else.

No, think about it. The phone has already been unlocked thru Motorola once potentially (most likely, since its a recycled phone). Just because Sprint wipes it doesn't mean Motorola re-locks it. I think there's a glitch in the 'accounting' by Motorola whereby phones (hardware) that were locked by a previous owner are registered to that person and not valid for another owner. Unless a new code is generated on every FZX flash which is highly unlikely. Anyone know more about the Motorola code and if each device is tied to a single code for its lifetime?
Why don't you contact Sprint then & get them to sort it out?
Pretty sure the moto unlock site states that they consider it impossible to re-lock a phone once the bootloader has been unlocked.
Read some posts that talk about re-locking, but the device would prob still register as unlocked on the moto unlock site. This may be what you are running into.
None of the PQ's I have were disallowed, despite me not being the original owner, so the codes/unlock will undoubtedly tie to a device serial# rather than a registered owner.
Dude - both my handsets had #'s in the code number sequence. Why don't you try cut & paste like I suggested? What have you got to lose?

To clarify - I think a factory reset handset from Sprint would still show up an unlocked boot loader warning if it had been done by the previous owner. It would prob have to be re-locked by moto somehow to remove the warning (unlikely).
As an unlocked handset would have void warranty issues, would Sprint really sell a boot unlocked Q? (Also unlikely).

I think we're tracking just not on the technical terms.... although I think sprint has a way of like hard wiping the phone or something. A factory firmware flash. Bam. Back to locked.

Ofcourse you can. Right click inside cmd window, in popup select "Select"/"Edit"/"Mark" (I can't remember), left mouse click and drag to select. Enter or click (I don't remember) copies to clipboboard. Much easier than it seems. Non-intuitive but it's windows. Cygwin's shells might be better.

Update: copy and pasted the exact code via yall's instructions.... and... "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking."
Also, the Motorola rep showed in his system that the device was "not rooted". He couldn't figure it out and said he would get back with my via email.
Maybe its some deal Sprint has worked out with Motorola? They tie my name (as a known rooter/unlocker) to the hardware and tell Moto to disallow unlocking on a particular device?
Does anyone know of another way to unlock the bootloader?

Well, unlocking the bootloader does void the warranty... so if you're getting warranty replacements after unlocking the bootloader, perhaps this is why.
I seriously doubt it tho. I would just make damned sure the code is correct - no spaces being pasted in, etc.

^This is why I suggested you paste into notepad first, so you can check for spaces. Pasting directly into the web portal will carry spaces across, even though it looks like you haven't selected any!
Try via notepad & see what comes up. I had this exact problem with my first one & solved it this way. The second one went through perfect, because I used the notepad method.
Good luck with it. I doubt you have been banned for rooting/unlocking, that is what the bootloader unlock portal is for.

I also was unable to unlock my device through the official method. I copied the text out of the command prompt into notepad, verified it was all there, made sure there were no spaces, removed extra text in the lines, etc. I rechecked the code about 10 times and Motorola kept rejecting it.
My phone was won in a giveaway. It was shipped to me directly from Sprint but I never activated it on their service. I'm a Ting customer. They're a Sprint MVNO (reseller basically), and they had some issue activating in in their system, possibly because it hadn't previously been on Sprint. I wonder if that perhaps kept it from being activated in Motorola's database?
Anyway, you should be able to use this tool to unlock your bootloader. It worked for me, though I can't promise it's as good a solution as the official way or that it will also work for you and not do bad things to your phone.
It works on Photon Q too! I just unlocked my Photon Q with it... No problems...

So there is a tool huh? GOOD.
I just got off the phone with "Motorola Level 3 Support" and a guy named Jonathan told me he ran into this issue before. There is nothing Motorola can do and he suggests I go to Sprint for another phone. I said, well isn't this a feature of the phone, an unlockable bootloader? He said, "yes, but it's not a feature we support, because it voids the warranty" So they don't support any problems with that feature.
But since it was a selling point of the phone I think someone is liable for denying me full features of my phone. But regardless, I am going to try this new method and hopefully unlock this phone. Will report back.

I was already rooted. I looked at my past posts and found that I thanked someone for this Motorola JB root method that doesn't touch the bootloader, so I assume it's what I used. link
edit: I also verified that I have the tool on my hard drive, so I'm 99% certain it's what I used.
So I went on the Motorola unlocking website and I have fastboot and adb all set up with working drivers but when I get the code that is shown after entering fastboot oem get_unlock_data and enter it in the "can my device be unlocked?" box ,an error message appears that says " your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking but the support page says it is eligible,any ideas?
It s a strange problem. Which model exactly is your? Can be helpful for others..
Make sure there are no spaces. Took me some time to figure out there was a space in front of the whole number

I'm having the same problem with a Moto G that I bought from Tesco. I'm sure I'm copy-pasting everything without any blank spaces...
Is it possible that Tesco's devices are not eligible for bootloader? I managed to unlock the SIM so the phone works with all providers.
