Are you certainly entering your Devices serial number and not the IMEI correctly?
Settings-> Phone Identity-> Device Serial Number

I am
When the app asks for the beta key it shows the same serial number

Copy and paste the beta key number in don't write it in it will then work

Will do that, thanks, in my dream just now I keep seeing that I change to an l and a 1, that's how much it bugged me
I'm even dreaming about the beta key

Did you get it to work? If you didn't don't forget you have to copy and paste it into the command/ terminal window, as the key is extremely temperamental/ case sensitive.

Yep its working now thanks
The l was an I afterall copy and paste did the trick

Now that I have successfully got s-off and installed cwm , how do I gain root on my desire s
not sure which file to install

You can try and root your stock ROM, but I'd highly recommend trying a custom ROM first, eg. LBC or Virtuous Unity

You are the FREAKING man! Spent hours and almost gave up. I dont understand why Revolutionary wouldn't use a font which is easier to read. There was a lower case "L" followed by a capital "I". Almost completely impossible until converted into Times New Roman! Thank you sooooo much!!!

Thanks, I can not figure out how to copy and paste it into the terminal window, would you mind sharing with me how you did that?

If you'll click the top left corner of the terminal window it will drop a menu down, and there is an "edit" submenu, and then you can paste from there.
I have been having this problem trying to root my HTC Thunderbolt as well, though I've rooted 2 before with no problems. I am going to try copying and pasting this afternoon, and hopefully that will do the trick.

i wrote the same beta key, but it said it's invalid key
Can anybody help me to solve it, please?

[Q] HTCDev with AT&T One X

I have had my HTC One X for AT&T for a week now. I noticed that paulobrien has found a way to root the One X. Unfortunately when I go to htcdev.com I get this message while trying to unlock my bootloader.
"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: 160.
Error Reason: MID Not Allowed."
I remember getting this message with the HTC Vivid.

I also get this error when attempting to unlock the bootloader. Any ideas?

you cannot unlock bootloader yet for AT&T, it's known fact right now. root is independent of the bootloader too, so just cuz we have root doesn't automatically let you unlock bootloader. just give it some time, maybe in a month or so.

I thought it wasn't possible to unlock if you was on ATT

it's not possible. all we have at the moment is root, we'll have a bootloader unlock in some time i'm sure, either sanctioned or unsanctioned.

Sorry about your cancer. You might want to get that looked at..
But, it turns out that it wasn't working because of my OTA update to 2.2.. So even the tutorials in the development section won't work until someone figures how to get behind the new update.
Just thought everyone should know!
Also, I know how to search, I just wanted one of you guys to do it for me. Thanks!

Are you serious? You bumped a 3 month old thread which is only somewhat relevant to your situation AND made your own post?
Did you even read how to unlock a 2.20 htc one x?
Did you read the 3000 threads here on how to do it?

Thanks anyway..

Just download the latest version of HTC Sync from here. It contains the necessary drivers for Windows 8. Uninstall the current version (if you have installed it)
Also update the Android Platform Tools from SDK Manager

If this doesn't work install drivers with compatibility mode for XP sp3. I was thinking about another thread but this also should do the trick.

There's no risk. Just follow the instructions carefully.
Anyway you have lost your warranty by unlocking bootloader then why can't you install a custom ROM???

This is the answer. HTC Dev is not helpful in the rooting process. It makes things harder than they need to be and it let's HTC track that you have rooted the phone so you can't claim warrenty.

i got the answer from HTCdev:
My name is Enrique and I am a Technical Support Agent for the HTC Written Team.
I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties with this process.
The reason for this is that during the last few days it was possible to experience short time outages in services provided via web page www.htcdev.com.
To receive the unlocking file, I would like you to perform the following steps:
1. Please check spam box in your email.
2. Please try to unlock your bootloader using different email address to receive the unlocking file.
3. Try to unlock the bootloader again during the next couple of days.
I am confident that this will resolve your query, in the unlikely event that this does not please call or instant chat to one of our Technical Support Agents who will be waiting to guide you through step by step.
