Hi,
I have the exact same problem... unable to unlock the phone...
when in bootloader : "adb devices" show my device
when in fastboot : "fastboot devices" show nothing and "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" get stuck in "<waiting for device>"
Also, when in bootloader, if i choose "recovery", i can't enter the recovery menu, instead i have a warning sign for about 1 minut, then unit reboot.
Hope someone found a solution...
Thanks,

Whn you see the red warning sing, I believe, you have to press VOLUME UP to see the recovery menu. As for undetectable devices in fastboot, I assume you are using Windows 8.1 or higher. Fastboot doesn't work there, unless fixed by using the instructions and registry edit from this thread (I can confirm, it works like a charm).
Let me know if you need any more help and if it worked.

does your hboot screen says fastboot usb?
did you put the unlock code.bin in your adb and fastboot folder?
also type in the cmd fastboot devices and see if it detects it

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
because you need to have the Unlock_code.bin file which was sent to your mail by HTC during HTC-DEV unlock?
also you have adb/fastboot files ? have you ever used them ?
if not i would suggest you to follow this link to the letter

My DS is it bricked forever ?

Seven vibrations can sometimes mean that your partitions have became corrupted. While you are s-on this will be very hard to fix. If I was you I would try to locate someone near you with access to an xtc clip. Its a hardware device that can s-off certain htc models, yours included. Once you have s-off you could then run a ruu and hopefully your hboot would be able to fix the damaged partitions. Failing that gaining access to someone with a j-tag like a riff box would allow them to perform a full restore of the nand, s-on or not, and they could rebuild your partitions. Given that you are s-on and cannot flash a stable ROM software is not a viable option.

Hello,
Thank you very much for your help.
I'll try with xtc clip somewhere.
Thank you a lot.

There is no HTCunlock for this bootloader version.
Use the command
fastboot getvar all
to find you exact software number (example 1.47.401.4). Then find a RUU with the same number and run it on your PC with phone connected via USB.
After that your phone has to be running normally.
Use Revolutionary to gain S-OFF or update the software to newer version to use HTCunlock after this if you still need it.

bootloader issue flashing not working

I have recently tried to s-on my phone as I wish to set it back to stock so I can sell it on, unfortunately the boot loader will not let me do anything as when I try I get this error FAILED (remote: signature verify fail), I get this error when I try to unlock the bootloader.
I have tried flashing and RUU which then I get error 131 customer ID error, but I cant read or write the CID because of this error.
I have no idea what to do, what I have done wrong I tried an S-On tool which gave it S-on but now the bootloader wont work properly, recovery wont load or even flash same error as above, I have no OS installed and recovery and bootloader always loading up even by just pressing the power button.
my bootloader screen is

Security warning disappears after I try loading recovery which it boots it back into bootloader. please help me searched everywhere cant find anything and I need to sell this phone on. Thanks for reading hope you can help me.
Do u know what ur CID is? Ruu failed coz u used the wrong ruu. Boot into bootloader, sekect fastboot, plug in ur phone to pc and fadtboot command
fastboot getvar all
It will show ur cid and version-main then u can find the correct ruu.

Hopelessly stuck with relocked HTC One M8 Verizon - what options do I have?

I rooted the phone using sunshine and superSU and got TWRP-2.8.7.0-m8 working, flashed a ROM (ViperONEM8) but was stuck in fastboot menu so I opened the fastboot folder shift+right click CMD window and moved the boot.img from the ROM to that folder in hopes I could flash the ROM via CMD. However, I read that I needed to 'relock' the bootloader for it to work which I did, however now the phone is stuck in recovery or fastboot with a relocked bootloader and S-OFF...
I also got the Identifier Token only to learn that with a Verizon phone it gives me a CID error code and I can't unlock it that way.
I just bought the phone this week from Amazon and didn't realize that it was the Verizon version as I am an AT&T customer. I am at my wits end and don't even know how to sell the phone to get even some of my money back.
What can I do?
Phone details:
HTC One M8 (Verizon)

I've been at this for 72+ hours no sleep and I'm about to pluck my eyeballs out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I did find one link to a RUU that I haven't tried yet due to downloading issues:

You are S-OFF so you have nothing to worry about.
You are pretty much never stuck with an S-OFF device unless you brick it by being careless and flashing something not made for the device.
You can always run the RUU, this will put you on stock ROM and update your firmware.
You can also always change to SuperCID since it's a Verizon device that you use on AT&T, but first lets get your bootloader unlocked again. :good:
This thread is what you want:
It explains how to easily, lock/unlock your bootloader - which you can do at anytime as long as you are S-OFF.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
Copy and paste the commands.
This is taken from the above thread:
to UNLOCK your bootloader,enter the following:
adb devices
adb shell
su (if needed to get a # prompt)
echo -ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796
(i would very strongly recomend you copy/paste this)
exit
(exit a second time if you need to to get back to a normal > prompt)
adb reboot bootloader
verify you are now unlocked
--------------------------------------------------
Now this isn't a neccesity, but if you want to SuperCID your device the cmd is this:
(run this cmd in fastboot)
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
- highly suggest you copy/paste this
(Not that you need a token from HTC since you are S-OFF..but with SuperCID, I believe you can get one)
Now, as for getting AT&T to run on a Verizon device, I honestly have no clue about. You can flash Verizon ROMs and see what type of service you get.
Also, for selling the device, the best place to do so is http://www.swappa.com
Enjoy, hope this helps.

Help HTC U11 Brick

I tell them what happened to me, my U11 phone had it with the European version and I did s-off with sunshine without problems, I changed cid BS_US001 and mid 2PZC50000 without any problem, but try to load the ruu that you download from htc 1.28.617.3 and came out error 155 that the image was not correct, then what I did was to close the bootloader with the command fastboot oem lock, reset the phone and send me to the bootloader screen, when entering download it appeared and s-on and Bootloader Relocked , try to load the ruu again but it tells me that the image does not correspond, try to install recovery stock, TWRP, and firmware 1.28.617.3 but it does not let me do anything, when trying to enter recovery it sends me to bootloader and if I try to unblock bootloader I gives frp error, it is clear that despite being relocked the bootloader I keep appearing the screen that has been modified the phone, when entering download I appears in OS 1.28.401.7 and putting fastboot getvar all if I see the c id and mid of the American version, but I do not do anything.
Do you think it has a solution?
Waiting answer ...
Thank you ...
Hi.
There are no answers yet, because, honestly, it is difficult to understand what happened. You wrote one single phrase that is 10 lines long. Try to reformulate, using listed items, paragraphs and so on.
Just a friendly suggestion, no offense.

Ok i may be way off base, but if the phone can boot into the OS go to developer enable usb debug and
Oem unlocking then follow the htc guide to unlock bootloader again ( not positive on that part never relocked a bootloader then unlocked) once that is done redownload the correct ruu per your cid and retry. Just my 2 cents. Hth.
you only flash full ruu 1.28.401.7
