Hi All,
I've just tried to use the new HTC tool and got an error message from the web tool after submitting the device ID token, error as follows:
Unlocking Bootloader Failed!
Sorry it didn't work out. Here's why:
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: 170.
Error Reason: CID Not Allowed.
I have a stock UK Vodaphone Sensation and followed the HTC instructions to the letter (Honest ;-0).
Any help or advice welcome
Its saying your cid (carrier id) is not allowed. Your cid= vodafone's cid. Looks like vodafone had not agreed to have their branded phones unlocked, unless you entered in something wrong. Expect this from most carriers though (especially tmobile here in the states) as they DO NOT want unlocked bootloaders.
Time to do it the XDA way xd

Same Problem here... i think i go with the xda-noobproof-guide
+1 for doing it the XDA way, no need for official HTC unlocker

Swyped from my HTC Sensation
Thanks
Thanks for the info, I had a sneaking feeling it was Voda raining on my parade.
I'll check out the noob guide
I'm totally speculating here but its possible that HTC is only allowing unbranded (CID: HTC__001) units in the first stage of the rollout.
I bought HTC RHYME and Unlocked it through www.htcdev.com
I still have s-ON but on top is writen UNLOCKED
few questions i got please HELP
1) do i need s-OFF? if its unlocked?
2) i would like to install Recovery any Recovery accept the STOCK ONE
3) is there a way to get ARABIC ROM on it through any other ROMS?
i got on my sensation and it works flawlessly it has SENSE 3.5 with arabic.
i am willing to donate 100$ if someone helps me to make it arabic. Thanx
Can you tell me how you unlocked this ?

Already answering ur question .. just visit the website he mentioned. And u have to get some quote by adb (all procedure explain on website while doing the procesdure) then they email u some code and u have to enter it by adb. And u r unlocked.
But the question is still there from my side too that y its not s-off?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Ok thx,
and the answer why its not s-off are explained also on the site ^^
Why is my security still on (S-On) after I have unlocked my bootloader?
Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.

But suppose I also unlock my htc explorer via this site. And after I want to flash cwm recvry via rom manager. But my device is not listed in its drop down list from wich u have to select ur device before flashin.
What should I do in that case. If I flash somehow. Will mine be brickd or something
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Mhmh, i think the developer will add the Rhyme soon..
I would wait on each case...a brick is not excluded
The problem with unlocking the bootloader via HTC's site is IMHO that it's not only pointless, but you also loose warranty.
It's pointless for 2 reasons:
1. Most custom ROMs for other HTCs require the device to be S-OFF, so chances are low that the bootloader unlocking via HTC will give you any advantage in the future when it comes to installing custom ROMs.
2. If there will be any custom ROMs from the devs in the future, there surely will be a way to unlock/S-Off/root the device available before these custom ROMs will appear. This way will most likely be revertable, and you won't loose warranty.
There should be a Rhyme forum!
....so we need to vote to get one...

I get this error on the 12th step on htcdev bootloader unlock thingy and i get this error: FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)
I have tried different methods but nothing have worked ...
I have tried to unistall and then restart and then installed all the drivers again 2 times, didnt work. I tried on my laptop and that wouldnt work either...
So if anyone know what this means or anything please answer on this thread!!
I also e-mailed the htcdev support and they said this: "Dear Pontus,
Thank you for contacting HTC.
I understand that you are experiencing problems unlocking your bootloader.
I think the root of the problem is that your unlock token is not valid.
To get a new, hopefully working, token go to HTCdev.com and follow the instructions there to download one."
Ive tried to do that also but it didnt work either so please guys help me out here!!!

yeah same as, 1.29.0000
I have the same problem. Only difference is that I got my phone back with HBoot 1.18.0000. I could't unlock it via revo and htc dev. After the ICS update I have 1.27.0000. New board, too I think their doing this for every sent in sensation, because my sensation had a broken volume button and dust under the screen. So changing the board was completly pointless.
Is there new news or solution to unlock bootloader?..i am on new matherboard.
I've got the same, rooted phone back from repair. ICS preinstalled, HBOOT 1.29 and can't unlock it. Don't fancy the 'juopunutbear' method bridging connections etc, sounds messy.
Whole list of parts replaced for the dust under the screen problem, board changed giving new imei, wifi mac, bt mac etc etc.
I've replied to my 'repair thread' on HTC website telling them of the problem, I bought HTC so I could unlock and use OpenVPN. Will see what they say!
OK, update from me. I've logged a support request with HTCDEV, after going through the usual check details / make sure it's not something I'm doing wrong they're escalating it.
Given them details of serial number, IMEI, android/sense versions etc and it's being looked into.
I'll come back here once I've had something new from them, but at least the problems being looked at.
I Get This From htc_dev when I send that i flash Unlock_code.bin FAILD:
With regards to your enquiry, kindly this message means that you still have update so kindly we ask you to have the last update then try to unlock your bootloader.NOTE: as we mentioned in our last email between us that unlocking bootloader will make you out of warranty.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
WTF this means ???
I have tried with 4 different browsers to get the 'begin unlock bootloader' button on the HTCdev bootloader page to have any function at all once ive signed in, with no success.
Doesnt work for any device i choose from the list and its extremely frustrating to say the least!!!
I have got the latest stock version of ICS on my sensation xe so I am unable to use Revolutionary either...
Anyone got any suggestions for other programs i could use?
I think this thread can help you... it doesnt require to use HTCdev site

I came across this same problem today. Looks like there is a scripting error on the site. If you go to htcdev.com first, login, and navigate to the bootloader unlock page this should work. I kept on going to unlock bootloader page directly. This did not work.

HTC Chacha
HTCDev link is not working for me either. The links and solutions on here are for HTC Sensation , would it work for hTC Chacha?
For the cha cha no it will work for sensation, check to see if xda has a cha cha site as I'm only familiar with sensation. Perhaps they have a chacha forum? I'm not sure. You can search and see.but this is the solution for the sensation only don't try it with your device. It can harm it. See if their is a forum for your particular device. Hope this helps.

It's an at&t phone, the at&t CID is blocked by htcdev so you need to get SuperCID before being able to unlock the bootloader. Click the Everything Evita link in my signature and bookmark that thread, it's a resource thread that contains everything you'll ever need. Once you're in that thread navigate to the root section and find the 3.18 root method, this is the only method that'll work with your current firmware. Follow the instructions in that thread and then you can unlock your bootloader.
Once you have an unlocked bootloader you can install TWRP recovery which will allow you to root your stock ROM or install custom ROMs. If you need instructions on this click the How-To Guide For Beginners link in my signature, it's a thread I put together detailing some basic operations. If you have any questions feel free to ask in my Noob Friendly Q&A + General Help thread.

You need to use the correct root method that corresponds to your firmware version in order to change your CID. Trying other methods you randomly Google around for is not going to work.
Use my Index thread, look under "ROOT" and find the method that matches your firmware number (3.18).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
There is not one-click method that works for firmware 3.18. Trying methods that don't match your firmware number is a waste of time.
Also, when asking for help, you need to be absolutely specific as to what you have tried, and what you haven't (including the result such as error messages, etc). If you don't give us specifics, it makes it even harder for us to help you.
Hasoon2000's all-in-one toolkit should work on 3.18. But if this is the one you tried, you haven't told us what happens when you try to use it.
To make it easier, here's the link to the 3.18 root method:

What the heck is "Jose method"? Again, I think your are fumbling around with methods that aren't even intended for your device or firmware version.
Do you have a working adb environment? What is the response if you use the command:

Come on, you of all people shouldn't be giving attitude to this guy telling him he hasn't searched enough. You've asked me multiple questions that could have been answered if you had searched for the answer, including how to unlock your bootloader, that's kinda like the pot calling the kettle black.
It's easy for you to say unlocking the bootloader is an easy process once you've done it. The fact is that it isn't that simple for someone who is unaware that there are different methods for different firmware versions.

Still having problems, but someone told me that it is first to root and then change the CID to superCID 1111111 and then run a all in one program to unlock
Is it thruth?
You've been told quite a few times now that you can't unlock your bootloader until you have SuperCID. You need to use the 3.18 root method that I linked you to a few posts ago. Forget about the toolkits, just go to that thread and follow the instructions.

Ok I had the same issue several months ago. I have AT&t One x as well. I noticed I could unlock the bootloader and S-OFF when my phone was carrier unlocked. I used the roadrunner method I believe (it's been awhile). I am certain Timaaaa knows what he is saying, but if you can't find a solution, that may be your other answer as well. Worked for me.
Roadrunner? I don't think such a method exists for this device. You can't get s-off without root, you can't get root without an unlocked bootloader, you can get an unlocked bootloader without SuperCID, the only way to get SuperCID on his firmware is to use the 3.18 root method. Hence the reason that's been stated over and over again in this thread. It's the only solution. Carrier unlocking has absolutely nothing to do with the bootloader unlock / root process.

Probably is referring to the Rumrunner s-off method. And yes, carrier (SIM) unlock has nothing to do with bootloader unlock and/or s-off. Probably just a coincidence that that person was able to bootloader unlock after doing SIM unlock.
Thank you very much for the help now I have it everydone unlock, custom recovery, root and s-off.
I was having problems with faceoff to s-off but nothing big
