Anyone know how to get to unlock the boot loader on Ubuntu?
I have fastboot going, as I can get the identifier token. And I've managed to send the .bin but it won't actually send. It's stuck on "sending".
Can someone please help.

I've unlocked it yesterday on Linux (Fedora not Ubuntu but shouldn't matter) following the instructions on this thread - but using fastboot from the Android SDK:
Code:
$ /path/to/android-sdk/platform-tools/fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
I unlocked the bootloader yesterday on my HTC One S (S4) following this thread. Using Windows, but could have done it also with Kubuntu as it has all the adb-tools etc already installed, as I need it for Ubuntu Touch on the Nexus 4.

Hi I have unlocked bootloader via htcdev but done nothing else. I am still on stock rom but would like to now run the new ruu. what should I do. how do i lock the bootloader again. Thanks in advance
Use adb/Fastboot tool from command prompt in windows.
Load the phone into bootloader, connect your phone through usb to your computer and run the following commands:
Fastboot devices
Fastboot oem lock
You may need to install HTC sync for the usb drivers
This will lock your bootloader.

Hi,
My phone is bricked and it won't come off the splash screen. I can't run into recovery mode, I can only run fastboot commands. Whenever I try to do something (install CWM, fastboot recovery) I get the message "Command not allowed" and I think it's because the bootloader is not unlocked.
The only tutorials I find to unlock are using abd commands, but since the phone is bricked I can only run fastboot ones.
Is there any way yo unlock it by using fastboot commands?
Thanks
Found a solution

Hi.
But a question that I think will be important... What have you done to get the bricked phone? Because if it was for a bad upgrade... there are many ways to correct it. But it is important to know how it has been.
Hi
I have unlocked the bootloader using htc-dev unlock as there is no aahk. i followed the link tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=88[/url] and i have done upto step 4. after that i tried installing cwm and it fails. after reeboting my phone its on stock firmware 2.3.5 and sense3.0. i want to flash a custom rom onto this device. can u people help me when i tried to enter into hboot mode the top of my inspire 4g screen says bootloader - relocked. What to do now. How to flash cwm into it and install custom roms.
Thanks in Advance.
Why are you following that guide? It is for preparing an Inspire 4G with the latest update for AAHK, which no longer exists.
You cannot flash CWM unless you re-unlock your bootloader; you can't flash anything when the bootloader is locked.

using the same unlock_code.bin as before:
Plug the phone with usb debugging enabled.
Open a cmd as admin and type adb reboot-bootloader.
When in fastboot usb (you should read that in the phone) navigate to where the unlock_code.bin file is in.
Type fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
Voilá...you are done.
If you don't have the unlock_code.bin, then get another token from phone the same way as you did before.
Hi, I have a real problem with my one-week old oneplus one that I hope I can get some help with. I've spent two days trying to fix the problem with my phone and its totally baffling me.
I managed to unlock the bootloader and root the phone and install twrp and SuperSU using the Guide : https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...oader-install-custom-recovery-and-root.64487/
I experimented flashing roms. Then I tried Oxygen but hated it. So I wanted to revert back to the factory rom and then upgrade to 11S. Since then I haven't been able to unlock the bootloader. I am using fastboot because I am running a macbook pro with Bootcamp which has a small partition and limited filespace. In fastboot, when I try to boot from recovery, it returns with
FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot boot)
Whenever I try to unlock the bootloader, the oneplus reboots back into twrp before I can 'fastboot reboot'.
I've found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/mod-reset-unlock-tamper-bit-t2820912 this afternoon, downloaded the folder, but now have no idea how to use the script or where to put it?? I hope that this would unlock the bootloader?
Can anyone help me please??
Apologies in advance for being a NOOB. I'm upgrading from an iPhone 4S so please take pity on me !

Type
fastbook oem device-info
This will show you if your bootloader is locked or not

All you need to do is download the OnePlusOne-BootUnlocker.zip file from the thread that you linked to, boot into TWRP and connect your phone to your PC, copy the zip to your phone, and flash it with TWRP, then your bootloader will be unlocked.

Hello, can someone please help me. I just received my A9 and immediately went unlock bootloader and root. When invoke the get_identifier_token at the cmd prompt I get the following response: "FAILED (remote: unknown command)"
Anyone got any ideas?
I recomend using the Windroid app to get root on the A9, however that command works best in download mode on the phone.

Boy HTC is very specific with their instructions about being in bootloader mode to get the token and flash the unlock token. They don't mention being in download mode at all.
Thanks for the help, got unlock successfully.
