I relocked my bootloader so I could get back to stock from soft brick. I changed to super cid and reulocked it, but it still says relocked. Now when I try to unlock it again I get an error from command prompt. Is it really locked still and what can I do to reunlock it if is. Thanks

try getting into bootloader with the phone plugged up to computer. sometimes the token wont take when its plugged up to computer.
The token took and sent me to the unlock bootloader prompt, but now when I run the unlock token thru cmd it gives me an error message, something about the unlock token itself, also did this when trying to flash recovery.

if your already supercid you dont go through the supercid process again. the token should always work though. just try again and again. get into bootloader manually then plug phone into computer and do it.
Should I try bootloader oem unlock since the unlock token isn't working, and its supposed to be unlocked. I ran the htcdev instructed command successfully and chose to allow unlock on my phone once but it still says relocked

its fastboot oem unlock
and
fastboot oem get_identifier_token (if you need to do htcdev again for whatever reason)
Thanks I'm at work but I'm going to try it here in about twenty minutes, I'll let u know what happens. Thanks

so what happended? I am having the same problem and can't figure it out. Let me know if you got it re-unlocked and how.
Sometimes the unlock codes need a few attempts to take. Try disconnecting your phone and shutting it down, then restart and try again. That worked for me.

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.

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 tried this myself yesterday...just for my own piece of mind
Flash your phone back to recovery.img
Relock your bootloader
Run the RUU for your phone

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.

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

where does your unlock stuck?
I'm on W8 too and unlocked two One s via HTC Dev without any problems.
Be sure you have installed the latest HTC Sync driver and be sure you have admin rights.
It may take some time till HTC send the unlock_token to you. It can take 1min but It can take a few hours too.
