keep trying... :l
htc dev is messed up, all i can tell you is keep trying.
and try from different browsers.
HTCDev works for me.
PM me your token from start to finish and I can send you your unlock token back.
If I remember properly, a confirmation email needs to be received by you before you can login for the first time to HTCDev.com. I never got the confirmation email (checked spam folders as well), and had to use 3 different email addresses before it worked properly, and I received the confirmation email (luckily I have that many emails still active!).
Suffice it to say, the website is flaky, and sometimes you just need to try again and again.
Keep trying bro... I was has same problem like you but i was Keep trying to login n finnaly i can unlock my bottloader

Hi there!
So I yesterday received my TF700 from my brother and now I'd like to try some Custom ROMs for it. However with the Asus unlocking tool is giving this 'unknown internet problem' error.
As far as I have read the forums there is no way around it, is this correct? I've also read that some users have managed to pass the error by just trying again and again, is this also correct?
Latest JB update, no root whatsoever.

I cannot tell you how many times I pressed that button before I was unlocked. To be clear, my error message was the connection problem.
I doubt this makes any bit of difference, but here are the steps I went through to unlock the Infinity:
Day 1: Downloaded unlock tool. Tried to unlock and was not successful. I tried several times (20? 30?) over the entire day without luck.
Day 2: Registered my Transformer Infinity with ASUS Device Tracker. The registration process was successful. I did not receive any errors regarding my serial number. Tried unlocking again (20 or 30 more tires) during the day. Still unsuccessfully.
Day 3: Turned off Google Location in the settings. Tried unlocking for ~1/2 a day. I was not successful. I called ASUS Customer service who were not helpful. Two people spoke with me. The first person said the problem was a "rare" occurrence. The second person opened a ticket for me and told me to continue trying.
Day 4: I successfully unlocked my tablet.
In my opinion, I don't think ASUS Customer service did anything or turning off Google Location did anything. I think I was finally able to connect to ASUS' servers to unlock.
My advice, keep trying like everyone else suggests. It can be disappointing, but it eventually worked.
I just got mine unlocked, had been trying for about 3 days of pressing the button in the unlock APK. My device had the OTA Jelly Bean update.
I also have an RMA device (I sent it in late last year for screen lifting and backlight bleed) - so you do NOT have to re-RMA it to get the unlock tool to work. Just patience.
Before I get into it, let me just start by saying that I have spoken to MetroPCS and they have confirmed that this phone was specifically set up to use the "Device Unlock" app ONLY, which means that there are no unlock codes or any other procedures(not Chimera or any other one) that will unlock this device.
For those of you who don't know too, you MUST wait until after 90 days of service with MetroPCS on this device before you can unlock it. If you can't wait the 90 days, however, because you're going to travel or because you live outside of the country, I've been told that there is one other way to unlock this device through a third party service that works with MetroPCS and helps you unlock through the app as well, though it is more like "IMEI whitelisting" than an official unlock like you get with MetroPCS and you also have to pay.
---------------
Anyhow, now to get down to it. Here is the information on what you must do.
---------------
1) Wait The 90 Days - Actually, you should know first that MetroPCS does not count the extra day in the months with 31 days as part of the 90.[/B] In other words, if you bought your phone on the 10th of one month say, you have to wait for the 10th to come around again 3 months later.
2) Try Unlocking The Device - Go to the "Device Unlock" app in your app tray and try clicking on the "Permanent Unlock" button to see if it just works for you right away. I was not so lucky myself, but I've been told that it does simply just unlock for some people. If it did unlock that easily for you, then congratulations. That's it. You're done.
(NOTE: Make sure that it is actually unlocked though. See the attached images and step #4 below.)
---------------
If it still isn't unlocked after steps 1 & 2, then please read on...
---------------
3) Call MetroPCS - If it won't unlock, then MetroPCS may have placed a server side lock on your account for whatever reason. In this case, you will need to just call Metro and request that they go into their system and set "Allow Unlock" to "ON" for your device. It only takes them a few seconds to do, but the first 3 people I called some days before didn't even mention or seem to know that their system had this feature, so you have to ask. After they did this for me I was able to successfully unlock the device using the app.
4) Double Check That Your Device Is Actually Unlocked - After unlocking the device the app says that the "Device Is Permanently Unlocked"[/B] and prompts you to reboot. After rebooting though I recommend that you open the "Device Unlock" app again and make sure that it no longer contains the reboot menu(shown in the first picture attached below). If it keeps saying to reboot because the settings are not yet applied, then you are still not unlocked. You want it to look like the second picture I attached below and NOT the first. Try rebooting a few more times to see if this problem fixes itself.
(NOTE: If you still can't unlock fully and have rooted the device and have TWRP and the Xposed framework installed, then you can also try installing an Xposed module called "Good For Enterprise Disable Root Check" to see if that allows the unlock settings to apply. Otherwise just call Metro again to make sure you are unlocked.)
Anyhow, I sincerely hope this information helps you guys in unlocking your device!

Thanks for the input. I don't know much about boxes or how they might bypass MetroPCS's server side lockdown on this device, but I'm assuming they're some sort of universal hacker tool that you hook phones up to and that you have to buy. Probably not a viable solution for most people. Sounds just sketchy enough too to maybe cause your phone's IMEI to get blacklisted. Perhaps there's no other option for those outside of the country who can't get MetroPCS service though? I don't know. :/
Outside US or if you dont want to pay 3 months of 50$ each (i like metro pcs, and use metropcs when in usa, but mostly im away and rather to pay an unlock to mantain the line) You have to pay an imei whitelisting for unlock device app. I found one 100% working for 24$, many cheaper or expensive were suspicious. PM if you want to know

It's only $40/month for me. I understand though if you're out of the country. Awesome that they'll let you pay to unlock it. Still have to use the device unlock app though yes. It's the only way. Thanks for the info!

Hmm, I have never needed to know this type of info, so I do not know what Sim Unlock is.
Could you explain please?
Thank you,

EDIT: So after a quick google search it is fairly obvious what it is.
So all I have to do is wait 90 days, then call them asking for them to unlock my device, then run Device Unlock and my device will be unlocked?

Yeah, it's awesome! After the unlock you can switch your phone to any service provider, but best if all you can use temporary international sim cards if you ever go outside the country and have regular service elsewhere while you travel and just put your MetroPCS account on hold in the meantime. Right now you can not though. Just wait the 90 days and just use the Device Unlock app that should be in your phone after that. If it doesn't work after 90 days of continuous service on this phone, then you do have to call them though and ask them to allow the unlock on their end in their system first. Read my post again maybe for more details about that. Also, it's not really 90 days, it's 3 months to the day, which means the 3rd to the 3rd of the month or the 10th to the 10th of the month or whatever. Hope this helps. Mine's unlocked now and I'm happy.

I have had service for well over 90 days, but I have not had this phone for over 90 days. Can I still do it?

Alright thanks
So I removed the unlock app... is there anywhere I can install it back from?
I happen to have one with me now and the device unlock app always shows
"Server not responding please try again later"

Unfortunately no. I've tried extracting the apk for people, but it can't be installed properly because it's hardwired into the system.
To get the unlock app on your device again you will either have to...
1) Download the official stock firmware from here and reflash it with ODIN:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/53271/G360T1UVU1AOFA_G360T1TMB1AOFA_TMB/
(Instructions are on that page and no data is lost during this painless flashing process.)
Or...
2) Install SlimPickins rom from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=63868639
It's a much lighter, debloated, version of our stock firmware(which saves you lots of space on your phone). I'm running it myself, but it requires you to have installed...
Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62859013
And...
TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62955166
Also, you have to install GAPPS(the Google suite with apps like Play Store, etc) separately at the same time you install the rom. This allows you to pick how much space Google apps take up on your phone and which apps you do and do not want.
Anyhow, either option will give you the Device Unlock app back.

Try connecting via Wi-Fi instead of data. If that doesn't work then try restarting your device and attempting with Wi-Fi again. If it still doesn't work, then it is likely their server being bogged down, so just try waiting awhile(possibly up to a day). Also, I'm sure you are, but just in case you're not, you must be in the US for the app to work.

Not in use bro, seems you are right.I"ll just leave the phone till good reliable unlock is available
Device unlock
Aside from all these extra steps it's pretty easy. I just open my app drawer and opened 'Device Unlock'. Right at the top it said permanent unlock so i clixked it, after 10 seconds if asked if I wanted to reboot. Once it finished rebooting it completely removed the device unlock and said it was permanently done . So if you don't feel like talking to metro to do it just try with the app it worked for me. Saved me 20 mins of being on hold. And shout out to Bogarty and everyone else working to optimize our device !!

Glad it worked for you right off the bat. It didn't for me. Mine was locked on their end. People should definitely just try the app first. That's good advice. Maybe I should include that in the OP. Thanks! They do still have to wait the 90 days of service though as I'm sure you did. Everyone just needs to make sure it no longer shows the reboot menu in the app after rebooting like in the pictures I posted. It may say "device is permanently unlocked", but if they still see reboot options, then the unlock settings have not yet been applied. Mine didn't apply the first few times because of a conflict between security settings and root. Curious if you were rooted at the time as that can pose some issues on some devices as I mentioned.

Definitely had to wait 90 days and then some.
But the unlocking itself like I said was about 10 secs and a reboot.
Were you rooted when you unlocked the phone ?

Yes. So far all I had done was the root.
So I've been trying to unlock the bootloader on my phone because I can't stand MIUI. The first time I tried it it told me to wait 7 days, which I did. When I tried again it said "Couldn't Unlock You need to use your device a bit longer try again in 3 days". Well I waited 3 days, and then it told me the same message. I found a thread saying to try a different version of the unlock tool, so I just downloaded that, version 2.3.803.10. But does anyone know if this will actually work? Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've registered it with my account, and I haven't messed with any of those settings, but it keeps giving me time. How the heck can I finally unlock this dang bootloader?
Well, I tried the older version, without even waiting the extra 3 days, and it immediately unlocked it. So I would definitely recommend this to people MI Unlock is giving them grief. at least give it a shot in my opinion. I can finally get rid of MIUI, thank the lord.

on your account check the email address if its correct or not, also check your spam folder, re enter your email address or signed in with different email address, normally it takes 1 to 2 min for them to send you email once they say it can be unlocked.
Someone told me that Moto wasn't doing anything like that right now because of covid
But I thought these codes we're auto generated
