Why would HTC patch this? Isn't it their process? They even have a warning saying you are voiding your warranty.
Don't let that stop you from Dev'ing here though... I plan on having this phone.
HTC released this method on HTCDev.com/BootLoader , they give all right's to unlock your bootloader . It won't get patched bro & once we get root yaya !

Umm I thought you returned your phone and you said before that crackeyes did it and it worked now you say you did it too after you returned the phone? I think you might be a compulsive liar after reading this as well as all the other crap you're posting around here. Just saying, no need to lie to people you don't even know.
I would like to see a screen shot or picture of the bootloader showing s-off.
I returned the phone to my local PD , what are you talking about i purchased it at a local chinese store , it had the box but they kept the box for $499 it's clean literally brand new . I was going to pay that price in a few week's . , & i have no eason to lie so just stop it now .

Unlocking the bootloader through HTC does not give you S=Off, I had the same issue when I unlocked my sensation using this method. You need S=Off to have write permissions to install a custom recovery image or ROM's.
Typical HTC BS, I far as I concerned, once you have acknowledged the warning about voiding warranty, you have accepted the risk and they phone should be fully unlocked and not the partial one they are giving you.
The whole HTC bootloader unlock method is NOT what you think it is and is very misleading as far as I am concerned.

Not sure if anyone posted this but the HTC Unlocking procedure works after the OTA update. I unlocked my friend's bootloader using the directions on the htcdev site (even though it says unlocking is only available for the sensation currently)

I don't see why people are so scared to use the method. Yes you loose your warranty, but honestly how many people have used warranty to fix a phone? I personally have NEVER, but have used insurance 3 times over the last 10 years.

^ Thats why i don't use the HTC Unlock.
S-ON will always be on using HTC's method. I believe it's to keep you from flashing the radio. If I'm correct the only extra thing you can actually flash with htc's unlocker is the system, data and boot partition. Or certain recovery's authorized by HTC can be flashed.

Hmm ill try when I get home. It's not my phone. It's my friends. Hehe mine has been s-off since the day it was released.
Ok so can't flash splash screens. I tried flashing it via fastboot and the zip. When i try in fastboot I get a bootloader signiture error. When i try the zip it starts to parse it but then boots me out. Engine hboot zip did the same thing. While its partially unlocked I think they still locked down some things. Fastboot erase recovery errors out saying not allowed.

Really? 10 times in 3 years. This is why HTC is reserving the right to void your warranty. Phones will be offered as is before long if others are destroying them as fast as you.

Can someone show me the quoted text from HTC's site that says if you unlock using their method that your warranty is void. Or is everyone just assuming this because they want your serial number to unlock.
LMAO
Your warranties are now invalid
Should have used revolution, and keep your warranties intact.
I don't know why but someone asked for more detailed instructions so here ya go. Plus with the zip you can bypass the file grabbing from the SDK.
Boot loader unlock WILL VOID your WARRENTY
Windows only at the moment. You can do it on a mac from their steps I'm just clarifying and speeding it up a bit. Click the thanks button if I helped!
Make sure you have HTC Drivers installed. If you need them you can download them here
1. Alright, so in order to unlock your rezound go to http://www.htcdev.com/ then click on unlock boot loader -> Get Started -> Now if you have an account, log in. Otherwise register, validate the email, and then click on Begin Unlock Bootloader. Accept their terms and agreements and continue to step 2 when the window with their steps open. DON'T CLOSE OUT OF THEIR INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Their steps are pretty clear but I'll put a brief summary here. Make sure you have USB debugging on. You have to boot the phone into the bootloader by taking the battery out, putting it back in, and then holding the power button and the volume down at the same time. You then select FASTBOOT in the menu by clicking the power button (it should be the first option). Plug the phone into your computer and don't touch it anymore.
3. Download the attached zip folder and extract it to a location of your choice (I chose C:\Users\[Your Name Here]\unlock tools). Now open up the command prompt by going to start and typing cmd in the search bar. When it opens up navigate to the directory you extracted the unlock tools to.
ex. this is what I would have to do
HTML:
cd C:\Users\[Your Name Here]\unlock tools
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note: Ignore that mine says B: the default is C: I just have multiple hard drives and operating systems.
then type:
HTML:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
when it finishes you should see a column of numbers, your unlock code. Copy the numbers and the start and stop lines without the bootloader prefix.
In order to copy right click -> Mark -> select the area -> Ctrl + C
Then go to the last page on the htc guide and paste it, for example
Click submit and if everything went well it should tell you to check your email!
After you receive your email from HTC simply download the Unlock_Code.bin and place it in the same folder as all of the other tools. Then in command prompt type:
HTML:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Now on your phone you will see
Use the volume keys to move up and down and the power button to select, same as in the bootloader.
NOTE: THERE IS NO GOING BACK AND YOUR BOOTLOADER WILL SAY RE-LOCKED IF YOU CHOOSE TO RELOCK. THIS DOES VOID YOUR WARRENTY.
Also choosing yes WILL PERFORM A FACTORY RESET
Last but not least if you want to re-lock simply type:
HTML:
fastboot oem lock

I understand by doing this I'll be able to perm root and basically do anything to my phone that an fully rooted and s-off phone would be able to do. I also get that if I do relock it'll say relocked.
So my question is what is the benefit of having s-off if this method will do everything I need?

With an unlocked bootloader without s-off it's more of a pain in the ass basically. Along with the fact that without s-off we can't touch certain partitions, including the radio firmware and other things. What we can do for now is flash custom recovery, roms, and kernals.

There is a zip file at the bottom of the OP if you download that you don't need to worry about android-sdk-windows you just use the files inside. You just need to navigate to where you extracted the files in command line via the change directory command "cd". For example if I extracted it to my desktop in a folder called test the command would be
HTML:
cd c:\users\[Your Username]\Desktop\Test
Then you would use the fastboot command to read the identifier token which is
HTML:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token

Worked for me as far as I can tell. My device says S-ON but above that says 'UNLOCKED' and I was able to flash the CWR 5 recovery image and use that as posted earlier in this thread.
The worst nightmare was getting my computer to recognize the phone. I had recently put a new hard drive in my computer, and HTC Sync etc would NOT work. I tried TWO other computers and still would not work. Finally had to dig up the old hard drive, put it back in my first computer (since I had used that successfully to update my Slide in the first place to Froyo 2.2) and do all the steps.
Still can't explain what the problem was, since the new hard drive is the same base OS (Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit) but at least it worked. And now this phone has some life again (despite a failure to replace a cracked digitizer)

You can't S-OFF with the new bootloaders. But at least with your bootloader unlocked, you can do some of the things an S-OFF'd phone can (like flashing CWM Recovery and r/w in /system/), so it's still fairly useful.
1st let me say I hope this is the right form to ask this program nor I am not complaining about the developers work my issue is I ran the program (RegawMOD) 3 times with no success, fortunately i haven't bricked my phone yet, but when i re-ran it it shows my phone is unlocked but i haven't acheieved root. What are the steps to relocking the regawMOD until an updated has been released. It was my fault for not reading the entire thread before attempting a root that was not designed for my update. Any thoughts and help would be greatly appreciated.
:highfive:
BTW posted this note within the thread i downloaded the quick root from but i figured it better to come here just also, thanks again.
Your unlocked, Regawmod did what it should have.
Fastboot flash a recovery and you're golden.
Since you rook the OTA Regaw couldn't do it all for you

Thanks, just for clarification for me since i am kinda slow
I thought i needed to see the SU app notification to be rooted. Since I didn't see it after i got the "pushing error" i thought it wasn't fully rooted just unlocked. But if all i have to do is download a recovery without SU and it gives me ability to flash i will do that. Thanks again
PSS; I just attempt to run titanium backup and it tells me i don't have root... ???

Since you took ota, regaws method did not give you root. The previous post mentioned getting a recovery so you can then in turn push SU or flash a rom with SU built in.

I wasn't on the ota and had the same problem. All I had to do from that point was download supersu. The binary was already on my phone as well as Twrp. Then installed busybox.

The previous poster has got it...install SuperSU and Busybox from the market. Open SuperSU app and update binaries. If that still doesn't work, try rootchecker to see if you really have root access. Check this thread:

I did all that was suggested and it seems as though I don't have root access just an unlocked phone. Next question how can i relock regawmod and use a different rooting method, or restore to orginal lock status? I know this is a bit much to ask, but i lost here. My orginal Evo root and flashed like crazy with no issues now i am in no mans land it seems with rooting status on 4g lte

If your bootloader is already unlocked, no reason to re lock it...you're halfway there. What software version are you on? Have you checked out zedomax's method for gaining root access?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671577
Do you have a custom recovery installed (TWRP)? If so, you should be able to flash a stock ROM that already has root.

Regaw was going to work on his unlocker today to update it for the new OTA.
Now that you are unlocked there is absolutely no reason to re-lock it. I will tell you how to do it though:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yS7yy4XVA4
The smart way to go from here:
All you need to do is setup fastboot on your computer, reboot your phone into fast boot, and push the recovery.img manually.

Ok I did a little picture tutorial. Sorry they are so small I can re-upload
Here is an example of my "android" folder. Note its named platform tools here because I was meddling in development for a while. The title of the folder doesnt matter. You just need fastboot.exe and your recovery.img in the same folder.
Note, I do not have the recovery in my folder. You will need it. I also have a lot of crap in there you probably wont have
Shift+right click somewhere near the bottom where there's white space and select open command line.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After that all you need to do is enter the correct command to flash. Note: You can copy and paste the correct code.
Keep in mine my "android" folder is named differently, so the words in my command prompt may look different. As long as you use the Shift+right click method to open the command prompt you will be in the correct folder

That mini-sdk will be everything you need to run fastboot. Really all you need to do is download TWRP, extract the recovery.img, place it in the folder with the rest of the tools, shift right click , open command window there, and then enter the command above

Issues:
#1 Every time I restart my phone, it goes to a session that was 2weeks ago. ie (text messages are erased and reset back to where it was two weeks ago, My pictures i've taken are gone and the ones from two weeks ago are only there.) Basically its like the phone doesn't remember anything after two weeks ago.
#3 Factory reset / Hard reset doesn't do anything. I get to the triangle with the exclamation point and push the up volume + power to get to another menu. I select wipe data/factory reset --- I get the following
#2 I can't for the life of me unlock the bootloader for HBOOT 1.93.0002 with Hasoon2000's tool
I would like to install Jelly bean on this phone.
I am BY FAR no expert, but it looks as though your bootloader is still locked. You need to submit your Token ID to HTC and they will send you a .bin file that you can use to unlock your phone's bootloader.
Again, perhaps I'm not understanding your issue correctly so I don't want to go into too much detail and steer you in the wrong direction. Hopefully one of the gurus can pop in and shed some more light on your problem.

Thanks for your input. I have my code and have tried to get this to work. It loads the unlock_bootloader.bin file but on the restart after selecting unlock it still reverts back to being in last weeks mode.

Hmmm...when you use the unlock file, does the message pop up on your screen to unlock the bootloader or not?

This is what i get when i select WIPE DATA/factory reset from recovery mode accessed through---> @ red triangle in recovery mode -----> pushing volume up + power button
When I reset my phone to factory within the phone options itself, the phone just restarts. It goes back to what i did on Aug 21st 2012. In fact every time i reset my phone it goes back to Aug 21st 2012 ----> erasing everything i've done for the day.
I can't do anything I really need help

Another thing you could try (assuming that you haven't done so), is to install an ICS RUU.

Heck maybe even start with gb ruu. See if you can work from there and we get that you can't unlock your bootloader bud. so try that ruu and I'd say otherwise call htc/cell provider company cause that's goofy stuff

Thanks for your help. I've called HTC they say they can't help me because they suspect my phone has been rooted. I've even reassured them my problems are not a results of rooting but when i recieved the ICS ota
Also don't you have to be s-off ans super-cid to downgrade?
Thanks again

Try flashing the ICS ruu (Make sure it's not an OTA!) through the computer. This can be done by getting the RUU for your carrier (make sure it's an ICS one), preferrably the 531.3 version or the R2 version if you're on T-Mobile (which you are from the pictures). After you have it, rename it to PH85IMG and then put it in an accessible location.
Assuming you have fastboot drivers set up, open command prompt and make sure your phone is fully charged and is in fastboot mode.
Then type in the following commands in RED:
fastboot erase cache
(If it doesn't allow you due to an error "Remote: Not allowed", it's not a big deal)
fastboot oem rebootRUU
(Please note that the case IS important here. rebootruu WILL NOT work. It has to be rebootRUU. It will load up a screen with HTC text in silver. This is normal)
fastboot flash zip PH85IMG.zip
(Now this WILL take some time, this is why a fully charged battery is important. Oh yeah, also do NOT listen to what the green bar on the phone says, it is usually wrong. You will know it's done when it says "OKAY" and nothing more happens after that (even after 5 minutes) OR when it brings up an error, usually stated in text such as "FAILED". Whatever happens, I would like you to copy and paste the entire output, starting from fastboot erase cache, down to the very end.)
Good luck!
