Can't unlock bootloader after relock - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hello,
I'm having trouble re-unlocking my bootloader. I relocked it to try to use the telus ruu but the ruu failed (I think because i forgot to flash the recovery) however. now I cannot unlock the bootloader. It accepts my bin but then Just keeps showing relocked and I can't flash anything....
Anyone try this or have any ideas?
I'm thinking I can't unloack the bootloader cuz I have no recovery for a factory reset and I can't flash a recovery cuz I'm relocked... Am I right? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

What method are you using for the unlock key? I don"t think you can use the same key twice. Try starting the unlock process from scratch and getting a new unlock code from HTC.

I managed to re-unlock it by continuously trying, powering off the phone, powered back on, eventually it re-unlocked.. I guess it's just glitchiness. In case anyone else has this issue they can reference this.

Incorrect, you can use the same key over and over.
The process is just glitchy, as the OP has found. Sometimes the key will work on the first try, sometimes it takes 10 tries (whether unlocking the first time, or re-unlocking).

No it's not the same. This is specific to our device, you should ask in your own forum to get some help.

No it's not the same. HTC phone is not the same as a Sony. Go to the proper forum and ask there I dont know enough about your device to even guess.
This thread is from 1/2013......
And it's not recommended to hijack or revive an someones old thread to ask questions like this. It can lead to confusion in some cases

I am faced with the same issue. I restored my phone back to factory state, and relocked it, but now I've flash the Unlock file numerous times, but it still remains "RELOCKED"
Please help!

Hold power until the phone shuts off, then press and hold volume down until bootloader comes up, then try again, over and over untuil it works.
It took me something like 30 tries before it worked.

It's after this step:
fastboot flash zip PJ8312000-OneX.zip
It doesn't flash the zip file properly. I was expecting that “FAILED (remote: 92 supercid! please flush image again immediately)” error as stated in instructions, but I receive an ERROR 99.
I will go home in a few minutes and try to re-unlock it again and go through the whole process. I've tried unlocking it so many times already...HTC drives me nuts.

If you get the error 99, try simulating a battery pull and start the process again.

Yes try again, that also takes several tries sometimes, Easiest to do on a sense rom and if you run into the issue, again the best thing to do is hold power until the phone shuts off and then try again (this simulates a battery pull).

Problem unlocking bootloader after relock

I relocked my bootloader and flashed an ruu hoping to fix some problems I was having and so far have been unable to unlock the bootloader again. It continues to show relocked on the screen after numerous attempts to unlock it. Every time I get the screen on the phone asking if I want to unlock and I choose yes and hit power. Once the phone reboots I go through the setup process and then go into the bootloader to check if it has unlocked. I dont really know where to go from here.
Guess I posted too soon. . . after the 15th try it took!
Mine did the same thing! Not sure why but persistence solved the issue.

If you use adb to reboot the phone in to the bootloader to enter token then it normally doesnt work. if you power the device off, then reboot to bootloader holding the vol- then enter token it works practically every time.
Move your unlock code to a different folder and try it. It worked for me on an HTC One which unlocks the same way.

Need Help - Will not get past boot screen.

Hey guys,
Just bought the HTC One X and I have no idea what to do. I know how to fastboot since I have been using the Galaxy Nexus, but I am not sure what to do with the phone right now. It boots in to the HTC logo, and then turns off and then keeps doing that. I can get into fastboot mode and use it but I have no idea what files to use. It was originally with Rogers I believe, and then it was unlocked. So if anyone can help me that would be great! I do not care about losing files or anything, I just want to fix this. Please can someone help
I am on a Mac, but if I need to be on a windows computer I will,
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!!!

PC Instructions (since RUUs don't work on macs)
1. Get to your bootloader (hboot)
2. Select the FASTBOOT option, you should now be in the fastboot menu
3. Make sure you have HTC sync installed on your pc (for drivers and such...this should probably be step 1)
4. Plug your phone into your computer, FASTBOOT should turn into FASTBOOT USB once you have the drivers installed
5. Relock your bootloader if it is unlocked using the command 'fastboot oem lock'
6. Run the RUU
7. Go make yourself some coffee while you wait for it to complete (it takes like 10-15 minutes)
Did you get it fixed? If not try to take some help from niceppl and 18th.abn

I also locked my bootloader and then tried to write the ruu again.
However while im doing that about after 4% , it gives me the error code 171, saying that my phone ahs been disconnected. I installed the HTC sync and everything what am i doing wrong....thanks

If you updated to 4.0.4 (2.20) before you killed your phone, then use the 2.20 RUU found on HTC's website. You can't be updated and use a downgraded RUU. If that doesn't work, and your bootloader is locked and everything, then idk what to say. Try taking it to ATT if you're stillin your 30 day period. If try even if you're not.

It means your lucky your phone still turns on. A brick means the phone won't turn on at all, or anything. You're lucky to be seeing the white HTC Screen. You really are.
EDIT: Download the HTC Drivers again, and reinstall them. That might help the connectivity issues. Or, try using a different USB port on your computer. When you plug the phone in, do you hear a resounding "beep", meaning the computer has recognized the device being plugged in?

I believe so, maybe not I'm currently doing work right now so I will check later.
However, the computer seems to recognize my phone when I'm applying the RUU, it stops at about 7% then shows the ERRor message 171
Thanks for the help.
can anyone please help
Where can I get stock recovery, stock boot for the phone?
First to Relock your device, you will want to boot into your bootloader and select fastboot. After you've selected fastboot plug your device into your pc and open a command prompt. You'll want to type 'cd C:\Android' and then 'fastboot oem lock' and your phone will restart with a locked bootloader. Now you can upgrade to the RUU without any issues.
Now find your ruu here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1671237 under STOCK RUUs AND RELATED.
Once you've finished upgrading your ruu you will want to boot into your bootloader again, with your device unplugged, and select fastboot. THEN plug your device in and run your command prompt again on your PC. Again, cd to C:\Android and type in the following command to unlock your bootloader again: 'fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin'
Hope this helps ^____^
thanks for the reply, however ur link is broken.
And if possible can someone list all the programs I need for this task...

I don't think I can use that because my bootloader is locked.
Did you try SUPERCID? How did you do all that without SUPERUSER# ?
correct me if I'm wrong but you should still be able to unlock the bootloader if you have fastboot?

i relocked my bootloader to run the RUU, however when I run it the eroor code 170 comes up
I tried 3 diff. RUU's none of them worked. I'm on AT&T.
You should be able to Unlock bootloader again though.
HTC devs would have email you the unlock_code.bin file
Maybe you deleted from desktop? IT might still be in your email?
IF your windows you can hit (Shift+rightclick) in folder run CMD.
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin make sure your fastboot files are in there also.
THis thread might also help. I take no credit. But I hope we can help you get your phone up and running to some degree.

Alright I got it working. If anybody ever gets the same problem as me, disable your antivirus, take out your internet connection from the computer, run as administrator for the RUU, and close all programs except for the RUU.
I BELIEVE THE MOST IMPORTANT WAS TO OPEN A NEW ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT ON THE COMPUTER.
I don't know which of these factors are definite but follow these steps and hopefully you will solve your problem too.

Bricked One S -.-

I never thought it'd happen to me..
Anyways.
I'm on Virgin Mobile in Canada, just recently unlocked my bootloader and rooted.
The process was bumpy but ultimately successful..ish.
I couldn't actually flash any roms. Not sure if it was because of the bumpy root process,
but every rom would just bootloop and I'd have to restore and deal with HTC Sense.
Great.
I had downloaded a Liquid [somethingorother] ROM from my PC and flashed it, with blind hope.
It was looping, as I half-expected.
I had this crazy idea that my roms were looping because I had neglected to press the "Perm Root" button
on the AIO root tool I had used.
Ecstatic, I rushed up and pressed that button as soon as I could.
The process went off without a hitch, but the next time I tried to boot something odd happened.
Every time I boot the HTC splash screen stating "this is for development purposes only.. etc" pops up.
-the one that would pop up when entering the bootloader - EVERY TIME.
I tried to restore but this splash screen still shows up, then loops on the HTC ONE screen....
AAAAAND that's where I'm at now. I attempted to factory restore from the bootloader, which would
erase my backups and whatnot. I don't know how infamous this issue is but I am unable to mount my storage.
Plenty other people seem to have this issue.
So, is there anything I can do?
You should try to run an RUU, then report back.

The most common reason for ROMs hanging on boot splash or looping is that you failed to fastboot flash the boot image that comes with the ROM.
The good news is if you can detect the phone in your computer, your phone isn't bricked.
That message you mentioned is normal for all of us flashers
I bet you didn't notice the "tampered" flag or you would have freaked out even more

ahhhh i see. ok man your DONE!! becasue that error 155 means that your bootloader is unlocked. and to flash the ruu you would have to relock. but you said you're brick nothing happens to your device?

ohhhhh that makes sense, and I think I'm bricked. I'm pretty sure I can run adb commands though. maybe I should try oem lock again command again? this is exactly what the top says
***TAMPERED***
***RELOCKED***
*** Security Warning***
I should point out that when I start the ruu the screen actually goes to a black screen with "htc" on it and that's it. and I tried to lock it again via abd and it says its already locked

Ok I should also say that when ever I restart phone it goes right into bootloader. I'm guessing because ruu erased everything ? should i maybe unlock boot loader, root, download stock rom and then try rue again?

Man, I never read anything good anywhere in these forums lol. This phone is so awesome as is, I really don't think it is worth the trouble unlocking and rooting and all. Maybe it is cause only the bad gets posted but there seems to be a lot of it. This phone is definitely meant for the normal person who cares nothing about flashing it seems. I would love to be able to just root it for root-required apps, themes and Volume wake and/or slide to wake but it seems to be more trouble than it's worth.
Cyanogenmod 10 makes this phone 10 times the awesome.

Unlock your phone again. Change your CID to HTC__001. Then run an unbranded RUU.

[Q] It's bricked guys, and this is serious sht

Hello guys, mainly developers and their friends who might mention my case between each other.
This is a quite big problem, so maybe these few lines below deserve a second read.
From the very beginning: I bought an XE in Europe from second hand. I was about to open the bootloader by using htcdev. As a good layman I found a useless thread which's misled me: I factory reset the phone and after that I did not enable USB Debugging. On the official htc site of unlocking bootloader I chose the option from the list, titled 'Sensation EU'. Since then I've already found out this is an Asian device (cid: ASIA-HK-CHT HTC__622), so I should have chosen 'All other supported device'. In the last step by unlocking bootloader I got a question about unlocking it, or not, whereupon I asked it to do so, causing immediate freeze on the screen.
So, this smartie is bricked now - even though I can reach the bootloader(h-boot 1.29) and the recovery(stock) too - considering the following: I can't unlock it anymore by using the right 'Unlock_code.bin' file either, since it shows me the same frozen screen after choosing 'yes' (by step 12 at htcdev). Nor I can S-OFF or accomplish the RUU procedure. At the latter I can go until it's checked the P58IMG.zip file, and asking me for applying the update. When I press vol_up the brick begins updating the bootloader and never finishes. I mean I like watching that screen for hours, colorful and I'm really obsessed with the phrase 'Updating...', but I'd still like to use this sensation for calls and things. If run the execute file(RUU) on PC, while the phone is connected via 'FASTBOOT USB' it gets stuck at 'rebooting bootloader...' In fastboot I can't even erase my cache, neither in recovery.
Do you think, it'll ever be able to use for its destiny again, if I'd follow the instructions you may give me?
Thank you very much in advance.

Thanks for your response. I can't factory reset from nowhere, it causes frostbite. So the details:
H-BOOT Pyramid 1.29.0000, LOCKED, S-ON; the phone main version is 3.32.708.151

Thank you guys, I really appropriate your help. The only thing is when I try to run the execute file, it stops doing anything by "rebooting bootloader"... After 20 minutes the same screen, and the guide only tells me that it takes approximately 10 minutes. When I try to flash it from bootloader, I doesn't go any further then updating bootloader.
Question: the RUU on the link you post is 3.33.707. My phone is HK and not WWE, so it's 708 and not 707. In the txt the cid version is HTC__621, mine is HTC_622. Do you think is enough if I'd just write my cid number into that? I'll givi it a go anyways, but if you have any advice...
Thank guys, you're the best.

Ohh then the ruu won't work and changing the cid won't help either.
Hmm we need that ruu
Otherwise try the soff without htcdev (guide link in my signature) as you can't htcdev unlock it

Yeah, thanks for the link, but it doesn't work either. I've written the 'cidnum: HTC__622' (without any spaces before and after that) into the txt, but after it's checked the P58IMG.zip doesn't ask me anything, just let me be in bootloader like I'd have started the device in bootloader mode without SD.
all right

All right, I will try to S-OFF using your guide, but the 3rd and 4th points are not available for me. So I can only connect my phone to PC with Fastboot USB. :\ What do you think?
p.s. This is the file I could go the furthest with: RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_hTC_Asia_HK_3.32.708.112_R_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_253449_signed.exe
As you see, it is still 3.32, but finally 708, but the last number from that part really makes me anxious, because it's 112, and on my phone that number is 151. I really don't want to give up, so any advice will be appropriated. (Yes, I've seen the donate me button on your profile )

Well, I'm in command: "* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *|* daemon started successfully *" and it's been nothing happening since I've started the method 10 min ago.
"Hmm we need that ruu" => which numbers must match you think in the name of the file? And where the hell to find? yahoo twice better than ggl, so I found the previous one I've showed you.

Flash the ruu with phone connected from fastboot
Thats should work
Also if the ruu flashing stuck at some point.. There will be a log generated at C:/ruu post the log here (latest modified file)
Edit: btw Donate won't work for me. You can donate to devs on my behalf if you want
