I'm not sure if the HTC method works this way but I've had to uninstall HTC Sync on several occasions to root phones due to a conflict issue. I would install it first for the drivers then remove and root.

Good question. i just got this Evo Via Replacement had a 4G. i just uninstalled the HTC Sync and tried and nothing gonna give a try tomorrow when i get home from work maybe the site is down..=[
I'm having the exact same problem. Followed the instructions to a tee, got the identifier token, copied without white space, and inserted at HtcDev.com. Same error, or rather, the lack thereof.
Hope this gets sorted out - had to replace my old Evo3D which had an earlier HBOOT for this one that I got through Asurion with HBOOT 1.5. I wish that Revolutionary worked on 1.5...
Same issue here, gotta be the site, was really pumped to get this thing unlocked tonight
This is failing for me as well on HTC's site, I was really hoping to get my phone rooted today ugh....
Boo. Same thing here. Just got my replacement and looking to get everything back in place. No luck tonight I guess
failing for me too! bummer I finally got around to pulling the trigger on HTC's unlock method as it seems the 1.5 revolutionary update isn't coming anytime soon

I have a similar situation, but I cannot get the code, it just says "waiting for device". I have the HTC drivers installed on Win7 (re-installed them again to make sure). Fastboot on, Fastboot USB on screen..just never get the token.
I do everything, every step, copy the token in the field and when i click submit, the page starts to load and then the "We're sorry! Site is currently under maintenance.
Please, come back later." appears... Only me?

I followed the article written by Paul O;Brien and am stuck at the point after I type:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
The Flyer boots with the option to Unlock (Yes) or Not Unlock (No) and when I try to choose Yes and hit the Power button, nothing happens. I can only choose NO.
Needless to say, the rest of the steps I can't follow....
Upon reboot, I get the Fastboot menu and it says

Thanks for any help! My device is well, pretty bricked!
were you s-off before?
I would go through the entire HTCDev boot unlock step by step
Hey I had same problem.
I tried to unlock bootloader with htcdev again and again and again....
And suddenly I could choose 'yes' but I don't know how did I do that.
So... my advice is 'try to unlock again and again' ...

P.S. I tried whole unlock step about 20 times...
What was the problem? I didn't anything else, except follow stpes in htcdev and suddenly the problem was solved. It's so mysterious...hmm
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Why does this whole process seem soooo much more complicated then when I used to do ROM's on my Windows Mobile phones?
Really? Trying it again and again and again???? Would yo do it with the same bin file or create a new one? I tried creating a couple new ones as well. Man, that's ugly. I had fgured I got impatient when it was creating hecode for the htcdev site and redid it.
So, should I go with the original bin file or the last one I made. Yes, each time, the code was different... :-/
Y'all are aweome in not making me feel insane! +1 to each of you! Lol!
So I have tried it about 15 times and it is still not working.....This is so frustrating! I can't go back...maybe I am jst ired an the throght of making a godcard is wigging me out....Would prefer honeycomb.
a Question
I just have to ask this to be sure, You are using the mark/copy method to get your device id for the HTC dev unlock correct. also are you sure that all the information is there (nothing extra/changed/missing).
Cheers

Yes, I am copying it correct. I compare what is in the command prompt versus what I paste in the form submission.....Is it because I am running the Best Buy WiFi version....? I am so hosed because there is no RUU for this version! Arugh!
Thank you so much for any pointers. I have noticed that a number of people had the same problem but didn't post their solutions.....So, I would be more than ecstatic to find out what was done! Thanks again!
I has bestbuy wifi flyer too.
I guess the problem is with only bestbuy wifi flyer...

Usually, flashing a new ROM on an Android device is very simple: just load the ROM to your SD card and flash from bootloader. You have to be S-Off and rooted beforehand. But this is a one-time thing and not any harder (with Revolutionary, actually easier) than Hard-SPL on Windows Mobile phones.
The HC upgrade is a special case. From the Modaco guide thread (linked in the Development forum):
If you're wondering 'why so many steps and why don't we just run the ruu'? There are 2 main reasons - firstly is the fact that you need s-off, which is generally the revolutionary bootloader, which protects itself from being overwritten - a problem as the new bootloader is necessary for HC. The second reason is that flashing RUU or rom.zip updates your misc partition version tag, which can seriously limit your options should something go wrong and / or you need to roll back to Gingerbread.
I actually haven't tried the HC upgrade myself. The complexity of the process is indeed intimidating, and reverting to GB is not that easy, either. And apparently there is no RUU for my version of the Flyer (US WiFi-only), so going back to GB is actually impossible. I will probably wait for the official update.
Yep, agreed, ROMS are easy with Android. Done them a million times on Flyer, Evo and Evo 3D....actually probably easier than on my HTC Touch Pro and Touch Pro 2 that both ran Windows.
But this Honeycomb is the beast! Man, I am half tempted to buy another one at Best Buy and wait til they update to Honeycomb! GRRR!
On the phone with HTC and Tech Support has no news on upgrading the Flyer to Honeycomb... I am wondering if it will be canned because it is too hard? Flyer will be Gingerbread - officially, I am suspecting.
It's not related to the BestBuy version. I have done it several times with that version and never had an issues.
Let's try something just to see what happens. It should not have any effect but I am curious and it won't hurt at this point.
Get into the bootloader either through using Power+Vol Down or 'adb reboot bootloader'.
Now at the CMD command prompt of your computer and type 'fastboot oem lock'.
If your Flyer show a *** RELOCKED *** means the operation is successful. I'm just wondering if its in a kind of unknown state.
Now then redo the unlock process again ans see what happens.

I tried that and it still says locked...no change. I will be sending it to HTC to see if they can fix it. I groan with what they will reply....
one more thing...
did you try redoing steps 9-12 ? If so what happens?
Solved...
Well, I sent it in to HTC and they repaired it for free. Took a total of a week. I assume they just completely re-imaged it.
I also had a problem with the pen button always glowing red prior to any rooting or trying to upgrade to Honeycomb and it seems they fixed that as well.
It's the first time I had defective HTC gear. But, they were very professional and fixed it up fast and well.
Thanks for all your help. I think I will be sticking to Gingerbread until an official Honeycomb is released. I hope it is soon because the apps I really need are on Honeycomb!
I have the bigger brother - the Jetstream and yes, the magic pen on the Jetstream is AWESOME. The form factor of the Flyer is just so convenient for the handbag or whatnot.

Hey Guys,
I have been waiting for this day, and now that its here, I'm stuck. I did everything the HTCDev instructions said, got my Unlock.bin but when I go to flash it, it hangs at:
C:\>fastboot flash unlocktoken C:\Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
I have searched everywhere for a solution and have tried everything, I now have a phone thats empty and has the latest RUU. I have tried every port on my laptop and my desktop, nothing works. Can anyone help me with this? Should I contact VZW and try and get a replacement? I'm pulling my hair out trying to get this to work.
Thanks
Wouldn't the command be?
Code:
fastboot flash unlock_code.bin
You need to type the filename exactly as it appears or it will not work.
nope, I followed the directions on the HTC site, and they are the same as all the posted guides. It has to be my token, is it possible I have a bad token or phone? Should I contact HTC to see if they will replace it?
You have to put the unlock_code.bin in the same folder as the ADB and fastboot executables.
Then you can leave out the path in the command. You don't need to use the full path, just
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
EDIT: Clearly you didn't follow the instructions by the way, otherwise you would have created an Android folder on your C:\ drive and would have known to put all the files in that directory. No worries, just do as I said and you should be good
It is in the same folder as it, I have tried it in the platfor-tools folder, in its own folder at C:\android and i have tried it on the root of c:\. I just tried it on a 3rd computer i have and same deal. It has to be my token.

I don't know but to be honest I just cannot see how it could be the token.
BTW...the .bin file needs to be in the same folder/location as the fastboot.exe file which would be under the "Tools" folder not the "Platform-tools".
I was in fastboot mode in the "recovery" screen. I will boot up and try running it then.
EDIT: Still no dice. This is killing me.....
I hate to tell you, but it's on your end. Other people would be posting with the same issue if it were HTC Dev's issue.
Anyway, all I can say is follow the instructions EXACTLY and start from step one.

Sent from my newly unlocked Rezound.. Thank you HTC.
I have followed every step of every walkthru on this forum and others, as well as the HTCDev instructions. I have done it on all 3 computers (all Win7 Pro legit) trying every usb port with every method. I have also tried different USB cables. I have had my girlfriend watching my every keystroke to accuracy (she also has a rezound, but is waiting on a replacement device ,screen cracked). I have tried putting the files in:
C:\
C:\Android
C:\Program Files\Android\androidsdk\platform-tools\
D:\
S:\ a network drive (didnt expect this to work)
F:\ a flash drive
I just got off the phone with HTC support and they think it is strange as well, they escalated my issue so I should get a call from someone who actually knows what fastboot is.
I am going to try a LiveUSB copy of Ubuntu 11.10. I will let you know of any progress.

I didn't screw it up trying to root. The phone works fine, the issue is that the HTC provided system will not work for my phone. Vzw should replace it only if HTC escalation team cant get to the bottom of it. They should replace it because there is a manufacturing error on the device.

Are you sure that you're correctly in fastboot when trying to run the unlock bin? You need to pull the battery, power on with Vol Down + Power, it should bring you to the hboot. There will be a menu with options (fastboot, recovery, reboot, a couple others) that you can scroll through. Highlight fastboot (I believe it's the top one and highlighted by default) and press power. This should change the menu options shown at the bottom. If I remember correctly, the picture during the HTC dev walkthrough is a picture taken while in fastboot. You need to run the unlock fastboot command while on that menu screen.
( i admit i am a noob at this stuff) I bought this rezound from a guy, and i came home and downloaded the Rezound All-In-One kit, i installed the htc drivers registered at htcdev. I tried to get token ID.. didnt work, and i tried to do the ICS leak and followed the instructions exactly... didnt work.. well i looked at my phone while in bootloader and it said unlocked, i tried running the All-in-one kit "Relock Bootloader" command and it still doesnt work. in command prompt it says ( Rezound_All-In-One_Kit_v2.0\data>fastboot oem lock
< waiting for device >
and thats it.. doesnt do anything else.. can someone please help me re-lock this phone.
First, try doing the above again, only uninstall/disable HTC sync this time. Report back if it doesn't work. Also, why do you wish to relock?

Is your phone in HBOOT when you issue the command? If not, it should be. Fastboot commands only work in HBOOT.

Yeah you're right MrSmith. I looked at the .bat related to re-locking in the A-I-O toolkit and it doesn't invoke "adb reboot bootloader" command before attempting "fasboot oem lock".

Try rebooting into HBOOT then unplugging the phone and plugging it back in. Sometimes the device manager(on your PC) doesn't pickup the change in modes. The AIO could just be firing off commands instead of waiting for the phone to be ready as well. Try doing it manually.
I should start off by saying that XDA does not have a subforum for the EVO Design, and because i'm new here, I didn't know where else to go. If there's a more appropriate place to post about the Evo Design, please point me to it.
Now on the my problem at hand. I get stuck around Step 11 in the guide on how to unlock your bootloader on the HTCdev site. Whenever I type in the command in the prompt, fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin, It just sits there looking like this:
c:\Android>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
I had followed all previous steps right prefectly, but for whatever reason it just decides to stop working at that point.
I have searched around a bit, but not to many other people had that problem, so I couldn't get any good answers. Thanks in advance if you can figure it out.
I'm using windows Vista if that helps.

Did you reboot the phone into the bootloader? Power off the phone. You may have to pop out the battery and put it back in. Hold down the volume - button and press power. In the menu, navigate to the entry that says FASTBOOT. Plug in your USB cable, and the heading should now say FASTBOOT USB. Now try sending the unlocktoken to the phone.

Don't know if you have solved your problem or not but I was having the same issue and my problem was I wasn't using the usb cable that came with my phone. Hope this helps someone.
Is it recognized in fastboot.
Can you type fastboot reboot-bootloader and does it work?
If not, my guess is your phone drivers aren't installed for adb to communicate.

Do you have HTC sync installed on your computer? If so uninstall it. Sync will interfere with fastboot writing. I'm not sure if this helps but also check mark the USB debugging box in your settings before you boot your phone into fastboot.

This is a known problem with the HTC unlock process and is resolved by flashing a current RUU.exe for your phone, then flashing the unlock token again.

Hello.
I just got a Desire S my friend gave me to unlock and root, and I'm having the same problem. I did everything step-by-step in the HTCdev guide, and it's also stuck at "sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...". Fastboot does recognize my device and ADB pushing/pulling works.
S-ON HBoot-2.02.0002
Stock Desire S EU ICS RUU.
USB debugging is enabled, but I don't think those settings would affect fastboot/bootloader.
Same problem here. Been trying to unlock my friend's EVO Design 4G from Sprint and I get stuck at the exact same spot. Maybe it has something to do with the HBoot that got installed with the latest update. Mine is showing HBoot 1.30.0000. This is just a guess though.
problem solved
you must add one more file to the android folder then type in the command again. The file is: AdbWinUsbApi.dll. Htc dev does not say to add this but you must.

I looked that up and found that is only required if you are using the generic Microsoft WinUSB driver with ADB. The HTC USB drivers installed separately or as part of the HTC Sync application use a driver called androidusb.sys. As long as the HTC drivers are installed and operational that file shouldn't be necessary for the htcdev unlock, which is probably why they didn't include it in the requirements for step 5 of the unlock procedure.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
/** \brief Function prototype for InstantiateWinUsbInterface routine exported
from AdbWinUsbApi.dll
In order to provide backward compatibility with the systems that still run
legacy (custom) USB drivers, and have not installed WINUSB.DLL we need to
split functionality of our ADB API on Windows between two DLLs: AdbWinApi,
and AdbWinUsbApi. AdbWinApi is fully capable of working on top of the legacy
driver, but has no traces to WinUsb. AdbWinUsbApi is capable of working on
top of WinUsb API. We are forced to do this split, because we can have
dependency on WINUSB.DLL in the DLL that implements legacy API. The problem
is that customers may have a legacy driver that they don't want to upgrade
to WinUsb, so they may not have WINUSB.DLL installed on their machines, but
they still must be able to use ADB. So, the idea behind the split is as
such. When AdbWinApi.dll is loaded into a process, it will check WINUSB.DLL
installation (by checking existance of C:\Windows\System32\winusb.dll). If
WINUSB.DLL is installed, AdbWinApi will also load AdbWinUsbApi.dll (by
calling LoadLibrary), and will extract address of InstantiateWinUsbInterface
routine exported from AdbWinUsbApi.dll. Then this routine will be used to
instantiate AdbInterfaceObject instance on condition that it is confirmed
that USB driver underneath us is in deed WinUsb.

I tried adding that extra file and it didn't work. I'm still stuck at the same screen as the original post. Ramjet73 you mentioned flashing a current RUU.exe, but is that possible with a locked bootloader? Did you have this exact problem previously? If so, where can I get a current RUU for the Sprint Design 4g?

Flashing an RUU.exe from Windows requires a locked bootloader.
The Evo Design 4G (kingdom) RUU's are here.
I couldn't seem to find an ICS RUU for the Sprint version if it is different than the Boost version. Maybe someone else can help with that. If you can't find a Sprint ICS RUU you could flash the GB version, HTC unlock, then do the OTA upgrade to ICS.
I haven't experienced this problem myself when I unlocked two phones with the Sprint GB 2.17.651.5 build installed, but I had just flashed the RUU.exe before doing that. Several people have reported problems with the unlock if they updated via the OTA instead of the RUU.

I should start off by saying that XDA does not have a subforum for the EVO Design, and because i'm new here, I didn't know where else to go. If there's a more appropriate place to post about the Evo Design, please point me to it.
Now on the my problem at hand. I get stuck around Step 11 in the guide on how to unlock your bootloader on the HTCdev site. Whenever I type in the command in the prompt, fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin, It just sits there looking like this:
c:\Android>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
I had followed all previous steps right prefectly, but for whatever reason it just decides to stop working at that point.
I have searched around a bit, but not to many other people had that problem, so I couldn't get any good answers. Thanks in advance if you can figure it out.
I'm using windows Vista if that helps.

I ran into this problem when unlocking my EVO 4G LTE. It was caused by using an old version of the fastboot.exe
If you download the new one from the HTC website in step 5 or the unlock process, it will give you a different identifier token and the process should work smoothly from there.
I hope that helps.
Been trying to unlock bootloader for two days now. Keep getting the error Invalid Bootloader Token Length or Check Rule Fail with exception when it actually doesn't time out. I am pasting as I should w/o any spaces anywhere. Is there some other method I can use to get my TWRP backup restored to my phone? Running HBOOT 1.19.0000 S-ON.
Thanks for your time.

Pretty sure HTC dev is essential for rooting our phone. A lot of people seem to be having trouble with token length. Unfortunately I don't have any advice, I personally never had a problem with token length

If it's a problem with token length check that it's copied from arrow to arrow. HTC Dev does not like spaces at all. Pasting the token does not show if there are spaces either.

i quadruple checked the token. I even pasted it in notepad to ensure I wasn't copying some weird formatting.
This is what I'm pasting, maybe I'm still missing something. The formatting looks funny below but it's perfectly square in notepad.

Odd, it seems like the right formatting. It may be an issue with HTC Dev. Has the phone been unlocked before? You can use the same unlock.bin as last time
htcdev is having issues at the moment

Which is why I want to find an alternative to htcdev. Cannot root therefor all my titanium backup data is useless to me.

Try Textpad , make sure no hidden characters etc.

It was their site. Worked today however I've still not gotten the token 3 hours later. An email to them just gets me a generic reply that they are doing maintenance.
Dave
Same here. It finally worked but I am still waiting on the email.

Could you do this if you want to S-off?

Using htcdev.com to unlock your bootloader is part of the DirtyRacun exploit

Gotcha...thanks

Try today HTCDev for a different device.
I have been told that I got an e-mail sent ... but received nothing.
Looks like something's wrong on HTCDev.
Same problem here. 24 hours + with htcdev down for the count.
Just tried again and was able to get the bin file in case anyone else was waiting.
