Im getting this "error: cannot load 'Unlock_code.bin" when trying to fastboot flash the unlock code htc dev sent me.Is anyone else seeing this or know how to get around it. I do have my unlock code in my platform tools folder which is where I open the command prompt from. I have also tried 2 different browsers. Im pretty sure its not my adb setup as I have unlocked my wifes rezound, my gnex,and also my n7 with it. Im at a loss. Any ideas or thoughts in getting this thing done are appreciated !

I got it! Gave up last night and got up this mourning and went through the whole unlock process agian. this time the code they sent in the email worked
I have the phone in Bootloader mode (holding down power and volume down keys). I have all the required software installed. I use the command prompt to get my token and copy the info into the requisite slot in the HTC website window and when I hit the continue button I get an error message "Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.
Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won't work"
I have tried multiple times on two different computers. Always the same error. It is 7:30 pm EDT. I need help cuz I may be running out of time.

You aren't copying it right. Read the instructions and ensure you are only copying the information it wants

Finally got it to work, but I'm not sure what I did differently. Put Command prompt window next to website window and that did it, but don't know why. Anyhow I have my email.
And I'm unlocked!!!
mine is stuck at waiting for device after i put in the command. Is there anyway anyone can send me the fastboot, adb, and adbwinapi.dll they used? I'm wondering if mine just isn't the right one but they should be. also i have the phone hooked up first and then go into fastboot and it says fastboot usb before i type in the command
thanks for any help
What do you mean "Stuck waiting for device after I put in the command"? If you pm me an email address, I can send the files tonight when I return from work.

The device isnt connected properly to the computer. Make sure you open your command prompt in the android folder and have the files within the same folder (i did this on OS X)
And then check to make sure you the computer recognizes the phone with
fastboot devices
You should see your device listed if it is connected properly.

Did you install the HTC Sync Manager or install the HTC USB drivers from another source? Your phone won't be detected until you have the drivers installed. (I'm assuming you're using a Windows computer)

Either need htc drivers or your not in fastboot usb/bootloader

If your getting that error, you have fastboot and adb but you haven't installed htc drivers yet.
If you don't have fastboot/adb files you will get a unknow command error.

*edit - I got it taken care of now i uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and it worked this time. Thank you everyone for the help.
has anyone received the "Error Code (10) A request for the USB descriptor failed" error message? i can't get my laptop to seen my device in fastboot mode. i've installed/uninstalled the HTC drivers but no change. weird part is that i can communicate with my device via ADB when booted normally. any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm having exactly the same issue as brom66an6. fastboot starts, but never proceeds from "waiting for the device". If this is a driver problem, what drivers need to be installed on the phone?
what next??? I have the identifier token..

Great for you, I can't wait to get there myself.
It was late last night and I was one click away, but wan't sure how long until the next break stop would be, so I went to bed.
Now, I cannot recall what I was supposed to do. Can anyone please shed some light on the next instructions, I can no longer access these as I believe it was shown when you click to continue??
I have all the files/drivers and token placed in the same location on my drive and as a guess I've also copied the token .zip file to the SDcard on my HTC One X (vodafone stamped
I really wished they have a removable battery and media card support!! I have just purchased a new battery from eBay that proclaims a new chip on it that prevents overcharging. So that should be interesting, since the HTC charger is not a switching charger like my BlackBerry ones were.
What I want:
ROOT
a new clean/fast/efficient ROM, was thinking clockworkmod.
Since I have zero experience and limited time to troll through forums these days, I am really finding it hard to find a REALLY simple step by step guide to perform this. I know, it's not a simple proccess, I know, but perhaps just the steps in a efficient, simple list, overlooking stuff like backups etc, but perhaps a TIP to mention it would be a good idea as the next step will wipe everything etc
Thanks if you're still reading and perhaps WERE at my stage once before.
I'm sure custom ROMs are a personal preference, but any bad points about ROMs would probably be better than selling the good points.
CWM should be fine for my first attempt???
MANY thanks in advance for your time.
Steve.
[EDIT]
I'm now unlocked!!!!
I found the website that I was following, it is fantastic and just the right amount of simple for me.

Hi
My original concern is too get rid of the android software originally put on my htc wildfire by my phone operator. Important precision: I have a mac computer.
For this i figured out i had to unroot the phone or unlock the bootloader (am I right? My overall android level is not good).
So I tried unrevoked, which said that my "hardware is too new". Then I tried to unlock my bootloader following the instructions on htcdev (and other similar forum topics) but I got an error message "Command error" when I type "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot oem get_identifier_token", and nothing happens.
I then noticed that htc says I might have to update my hboot (I currently have 1.02.0002), but I have no idea how.
I tried any other stuff found on forums such as factory reset (*sigh*), changing usb cable, changing usb port, trying from another computer (still a mac), etc...
I saw threads such as "use a gold card", but it seems complicated and I don't have a pc anyway.
Well, I've been wandering in the web for days, I'd be happy if someone had an idea!
Also I don't know if this is the right forum, but I'm not allowed to post elsewhere because I'm a new member.
I would reccommend that you borrow a Windows machine as it is much easier to do on. By the way do you have fastboot installed on your Mac.

Ok thanks. Yes I have fastboot. So there's no easy way out on a mac.
Do you confirm i have to root or unlock hboot?
Well you can do it on a Mac and even I do everything on a Mac but if you are new to the subject it is better to use windows.

Alright, As I'm new to the idea of using Command Prompt to unlock a phone, I really need some help: When I try to get the Token for the website to allow the Dev Unlock, It will not load any text in the command window.
I've done it before, But it will not load this time. (I removed the battery, entered fastboot USB, and entered the command line text)
It just says "Waiting for device"
Any idea on what's happening?

Windows Eight doesn't like my Driver download
It does say, However, My phone is unlocked.
I just tried to install a ROM but it gave a status 7 error, Fixed that, and now I get a Status 6 Error...
I'm really lost, I'm kinda nervous LOL
For some reason, my old HTC One would not be recognized in the toolkit's command prompt windows. I would send a command using the toolkit and every time, I get the "device offline" error. So after my old HTC One bricked itself and wouldn't power on anymore, I had T-Mobile replace it with a new one. So I get this new replacement in the mail and the first thing I try to do is use Hasoon2000's toolkit to unlock and root it. No luck with it either, I get the same "device offline" error. What am I doing wrong?
It's strange though because whenever I open up a command prompt window by itself, and run the adb devices command, it gived me back the ID number for my One. But it only shows offline when the toolkit runs a command in command prompt!
I could really use all of your help! I need to restore everything with titanium already!
Thanks!

Where you able to fix this problem? I have the same problem too if you fixed yours how did you slove this problem?
I noticed this too, I put it in boot loader manually. And with every command ran on the tool out have me that message, but upon closing out the pop up screen, I'll get another where the command went through. Got my device back from repair yesterday and managed to s off again.

So you put it in bootloader manually AND THEN you were able to use the toolkit successfully? Do you have to to do it manually every time you want to make a change with the toolkit?
Well I just used the kit to unlock boatloader, and flash recovery. After doing so I restored the Rom I was on and s-off'd the device using firewater. Device shows online now so if I was using the tool, booting manually into boatloader shouldn't be required but yes to the first question
