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 enabled3b. 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.

Hey guys, I just got the awesome One S and looking to root it asap. Is there a root method that doesn't give you the TAMPERED notice in case I need to replace the phone?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
NO,
You need to flash stock image, bootloader will stay unlocked. That should not be an issue.
The stock images are floating around sub-forum, maybe just do a search/google. Or someone will give you a link
Hmm so basically what you're saying is that I can return/replace the phone as long as I flash back to stock even if the bootloader is unlocked? I want to be sure before I go flash happy on it.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
nothing is for sure
but htc allows bootloader unlock, would think if it is a hardware issue, it wouldn't be a problem
never count on it though
No doubt, I figured as much too. Thanks rugmankc, I'll wait a little longer then.

The tampering message comes up no matter what. No matter if your boot loader is unlocked. It's the unlock unlock bootloadet message parts that you need to worry about. If I'm not mistaken there a relock command code to relock it. Just fellow the unlock bootloader directions but at the end change the unlock command to the relock command.

But from what I've read, even if you relock it, it still says "Relocked" as opposed to "Locked". Is that correct?
Don't know
yeah i think i'll wait until there's a work around for this.

I have looked around and couldn't find anything or maybe I overlooked it in my search. I seen where someone stated that if you updated to 2.20 but had your token you could "re-unlock" the bootloader. I have my token, now how do I go about doing this or is there a link? Do I go back to HTC Dev and follow the directions?

If you had your bootloader unlocked before then you should have supercid. Just follow the same instructions you did to unlock before. You may need to use the old unlock token from before, tho I'm not sure.
If you still have the original. Token
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
It should work fine but if not just go get a new one from htcdev
Sent from my SCH-R720 using xda premium
Well the thing is the owner before me is the one who rooted it/unlocked it with the token. He sent me the token so I am just trying to figure out what to do with it. As far as getting another token form HTCDev, from what I understand that is not possible especially with 2.20 since the HTC One X isn't supported.

Unless the previous owner changed the CID back to the AT&T CID, it should still be SuperCID. This means you can use HTCDev.com to get a new token as many times as you want.
The barrier to unlocking in 2.20 is getting root to change the CID. But if yours is still SuperCID, that isn't an obstacle for you
you should be fine to use the token he gave you.
Stick the token in your adb/fastboot folder, boot phone into bootloader. From command prompt, CD to the same folder and type
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
Follow directions on screen from there

Hi, I am another noob on this forum and I have been looking around for a root for my htc one xl which was updated to the latest software version: 2.40.841.4.
I tried to unlock the bootloader through htcdev.com but it does no recognise the device after going through all those steps.
Can anyone please tell me how I can do this if it is possible. If not, is there anything I can do? I really badly want to root my device.
Thanks

Yes.
I suggest the OP try to re-install the HTC drivers, try a different USB port, even a different computer, if possible.

Sorry for the very late reply, but I did install all the drivers correctly. Tried it on my linux laptop and windows desktop, but still no success. I read all steps clearly to. But nothing is happening
And again I am on the latest software. I coincidently updated it when I received it without knowing there will be no root or exploits available for the software version yet.
Oh keep in mind that I am updated to the latest default software update.

I think you are still misunderstanding. No exploit is needed for any version of this phone aside from the US AT&T version.
All you need to do is unlock the bootloader, than either flash SU or flash a rooted ROM, in order to get root.
If you are having problems unlocking the bootloader, try a different USB port, and keep trying. I believe some folks have had to do it several times in order to get it to unlock.
Is adb able to see the device at all?
It is evident that the OP needs to read the tutorials that are available more closely.
1. Before you proceed any further, please make sure (130%) that your ADB and Android SDK folders are configured and set up properly. If those aren't set up properly, then you cannot proceed any further. Good way to check is to type in "adb devices" when you think you have everything set up.
2. Go to HTCDev.com and follow the instructions there closely. Read them first, print them, read them again, then execute it step by step. This will allow you to get your unlock token to have your bootloader unlocked. Remember, this will void your warranty.
3. Once you're unlocked, go to TWRP's homepage and download the latest version of TWRP. Do not use CWM as it is not recommended for the HOXL. Once you have that, push it to your device through fastboot to have a custom recovery.
4. Find a ROM that is compatible with the HOXL and flash through recovery. Remember to make a backup of your current stock ROM, in case you need it later.
Those are the steps in a nutshell. Again, keep reading and asking questions if you don't understand something. As long as they're educated questions, you shouldn't get any flak from the members here . Good luck!
I tried that and adb does not come up with any recognised devices.

As long as the usb port on your computer is picking up the phone, this usually indicates that your drivers aren't up-to-date. Try running HTC Sync again to make sure there aren't any new drivers or even check for a newer version of HTC Sync.
It says that all my drivers are up to date already.

How do these people even dig these threads out
I'm in the process of setting out how I'm going to do the full works on my Telstra HOXL (root-bootloader-soff).
My question is. Unlocking the bootloader without HTCdev. Can it be done?
No...why wouldn't you want to do it through HTC dev..that ensures nothing wrong can really happen
Early FW versions you could spoof htcdev so they didn't have your real imei and s/n.
For Telstra you need to have FW 1.81 if you want to try this. Be sure you read everything carefully and you're confident as many had issues with this process by not reading the instructions carefully.
It doesn't work on any later versions well not until you're already BL unlocked though so anything else you'll need to use htcdev to unlock, change your cid then S-Off which is a fairly simple process.
Good luck

You have to be able to root without unlocking for it to be practical. Use it as a guide to update a more current method. Links may be dead by now. I'll have to check

Hi,
I'm having issues trying to unlock the bootloader for my One S. I know that you have to go to htcdev to unlock it but even after going through all the steps my bootloader will stay locked.
Just to be clear, I've managed to go through all steps and get my phone to ask whether I want to unlock the bootloader, after clicking yes my phone just turns off. When I go into the bootloader it says locked.
I should also mention that I bought this phone off eBay from a seller who had rooted, s-off and unlocked the bootloader previously. The seller unrooted, s-on and locked the bootloader when they decided to sell the phone. They also mentioned that they installed an official HTC European Rom when rooted.
Any help would be appreciated as I would like to root my phone.
Thanks
