[Q] Can I unlock my bootloader again as I have lost the unlock code to upgrade to JB - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I have lost the unlock code file I need to upgrade to JellyBean, does anyone know if I relock it, if it is a matter of re-unlocking it?
Thanks!!

What do you mean unlock code to upgrade? The unlock code just unlocks the bootloader.

Hello, yes sorry that what I mean, i need to lock the bootloader so how would I unlock again without the code??
Thanks

Have you relocked the bootloader yet? Depending on what your end goal is you may not need to.

This is what I need to do to upgrade Hboot from 1.36 to 1.79, so I would get stuck on no 4
Even with the .zip method you'll need to relock/unlock the bootloader. It's NOT flashable in
recovery. Create a new account at htcdev.
Here's how to use the zip:
1. fastboot oem lock
2. fastboot oem rebootRUU
3. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (do several times if it fails)
4. fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin.
Thanks in advance

Hang on, what phone do you have? You're in the HTC One XL forum and those hboot numbers are definitely not hboots for this device.

Oh damn it, I didn't realise, its just the normal HTC one x

Cool, head to the One X forum and the folks there should be able to help you out, good luck.

Many thanks for your help anyway!

[SOLVED!!] Customer ID Error on RUU

So my ATT One X is soft bricked and when I run RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US-1.82.502 It gives me the customer ID error.
I rooted, unlocked bootloader, and flashed CMR, but it is now no longer rooted and the bootloader is relocked.
I did modify the CID to "11111111" to unlock the bootloader, but without me being rooted I am unable to put the original "mmcblk0p4" back on (idk if that even matters.) I have no backups and absolutely everything is erased.
I did flash the stock recovery img file, but I don't know if it was relevant to international One X or if there is one specifically for ATT One X.
I guess a fix would be making a goldcard, without an sd card somehow....
Thanks for the Help.
Never seen that error before. Have you tried running the 1.85 RUU? I have RUU'd multiple times while still having the SuperCID so I don't think that's the issue.

I was actually using the 1.7 RUU
I'll try 1.82 then 1.85. Hopefully that will work.
Thanks for the quick reply! :good:
Have you tried to relocking the boot loader?
fastboot oem lock
Then run ruu.
The ruu will flash the stock recovery.

Still not going through and getting same error....
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Are in Canada? That would mean u need to use the rogers ruu, not the evita. Or, are u positive u changed your cid to 11111111 and not ROGER001. There were tutorials in the beginning doing this before supercid 11111111 was found. But customer I'd means either, rogers or evita typically. Evita ruu won't work on rogers and vice versa:thumbup:

No. I'm in US on ATT network. And yes I did change the CID to 11111111 because I used that method to unlock my bootloader.
I've tried several RUUs for my phone and still get same error. If I were to verify I had changed the CID I would have to be rooted.
Is it possible to root a soft-bricked device????
What's the error number?
Depending on what it is, there are different fixes.
if you can still do fastboot commands I'd unlock the bootloader again then push the twrp with USB support.
Once you do that you can flash the rom of your choice by copying it to your phone from TWRP.

I was stuck with a soft brick when I interrupted the installation of a ROM that was a bad download.
I was able to do what I said in my previous post and it fixed me right up

It's error #131.
Can I unlock bootloader without root? I have tried running the adb shell in cmd, but the device cannot be found.
I was able to check if I had the SuperCID, and unfortunately it has changed back to stock.

get to the bootloader (power volume down)
from bootloader select fastboot
once in fastboot mode
with phone plugged into usb type
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin just like you did to unlock the bootloader in the first place just make sure that adb, fastboot, and the unlock.bin file are all in the same directory on your computer
once you are unlocked you should be able to do the rest
Error 131 is related to using the wrong RUU for your CID SuperCID will override this error. If you flashed your CID back to the AT&T one the only RUU you can flash (I think) is the 1.85 one

very simple to fix. The fact that you got to the "ready to unlock?" screen means the unlock token works.
go into settings on the phone go to power. Turn OFF fastboot.
Power off the phone completely.
Boot to bootloader
send the unlock.bin again
this time it will stick.

Sometimes the phone can get confused about its locked state.
To fix:
-Force reboot the phone. Hold the power button for 10+ seconds until bottom lights flash and then stop.
-Boot in to bootloader
Now force the phone to lock even if you think it is locked already.
-fastboot oem lock
-fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Sending "fastboot oem lock" tends to get the phone back on the right track so it doesn't just keep rebooting in to a relocked state.
get into bootloader manually volume down + power.
Wow, so I've been under the impression that if I updated to 2.20 via the RUU that I couldn't do anything. I know my supercid is definitely 11111111. I can still unlock the bootloader if this is the situation? Root wouldn't happen though right?

I think you may have to use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img because of the new limitations of the new HBOOT. It might be only for boot.imgs though
That worked rohan32 Thanks so much to both of you. Now I have an unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed. Going for root now. Thank you thank you thank you! You guys have saved me from wanting another phone!

If you stay away from the AT&T cid you will be fine.
In theory things could change but at the moment so long as you have super cid prior to RUU flashing you will be fine.
OK I just got my AT&T HOX today and from what I've read hear there is no way to root it? Since I have 2.20.502.7 710RD but if I use super cid I can flash roms?
Without root you can't get super Cid

This RUU might work if your One S is S4 model.

If it doesn't work would my phone Get bricked?
How do I properly flash a RUU?

I'm not sure if there is RUU for your CID. I tried to Google that but I didn't find much. If you've bought your phone from carrier, then there is probably no RUU for your phone. If the CID doesn't match, then RUU won't run at all and it will throw an error. To run RUU you need to have locked bootloader and stock recovery.

so can i flash the RUU mensioned erlier?
what if it fails?
Follow this guide to do it. You don't need to root since you have CyanogenMod. The links to XDA threads doesn't work, but all you need is RUU and all in one toolkit for One S which should be in Android Development section on this forum. Also you need to have the unlock token for your device.
If the RUU doesn't work, then you can try another RUU if you find correct one for your device. Some have went as far as changing CID to HTC__001 to run the European RUU, which I linked earlier, but to do it you need to unlock bootloader again.

Bootloader is unlocked. Actually right now is relocked... I am trying to flash it using fastboot. Anyway, it's wasted time, I downloaded and tried 16 ruu, and I am receiving "signature verify fail" even when I saw my modelid and my cidnum in android-info file. I am confused, I tried using RUU.exe and fastboot using zip file.same result.
By the way, it is S-ON.
Any idea?

[Q] Encryption Unsuccessful-Bootloader Locked

Is it possible to unlock the bootloader when the phone is stuck in Encryption Unsuccessful screen?(basically the phone will only go into stock recovery) I tried through HTCDEV and that didn't work. It seems like the problem is, the bootloader is locked, I can't get into the phone to enable USB or developer options and only have stock recovery. Every option I read requires enabling USB and developer options first. Any Ideas???
The phone was baught this way. I'm just trying to get it back to stock. I figure I need to unlock the bootloader, put a custom recovery on and then flash the stock file.

Just getting ready to start, but I have a couple more questions before I start... sorry I 'm a rookie here and never done this before. you can save me some time and effort
1 - Do I need to install adb/fastboot on my pc first or can I just have the phone in fastboot mode and run the commands through the stock cmd.exe?
2 - The OS# is 4.17.605.5 so do I just download 5.0.1 RUU EXE and run that or do I need to download and run hboot first?
Sorry for extra questions here - Thanks!
