I'm trying to go through the official HTC bootloader unlock process for Thunderbolt and I'm running into a problem. This is a test phone for work and not for personal use, so I need to do this on the up and up (with the boss' permission). The phone has HBOOT 1.04.00 and the system version is 2.11.605.9 (Gingerbread 2.3.4). I think that's all the OTAs.
When I hook the phone to my PC (Windows 7 Pro) and Ubuntu Linux (10.10), they enumerate the phone correctly. On Windows, the drivers enumerate and on Linux, lsusb shows it. When booted normally, 'adb devices' shows it. When I boot the phone into fastboot mode and type 'fastboot devices', the device is listed. All good so far.
When I type 'fastboot oem get_identifier_token', I get an error message as follows:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>.\fastboot oem get_identifier_token
... INFO[ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY
On Linux, the error is identical. I have tried several versions of fastboot from several different SDK versions. I submitted a support ticket to HTC, but the reply was just to use the latest version of fastboot and that was all they said.
Doing a Google search shows this to be a common problem without a clear solution. Is the availability of the get_identifier_token command tied to the version of fastboot or is it in the bootloader of the device itself? If it's in the bootloader, do I need a newer version of HBOOT? I know a lot of versions of patched HBOOT are floating around, I need to stay on official versions for when we need to relock the device and hand it over to the next team.
Thanks for any advice
I'm having this same issue with my htc inspire. Everytime i try to complete the unlock It gives me that error. The phone is going to be used for traveling so I need to figure this out. Maybe this will help?

On new year's eve, i decided to upgrade GB to HC to have a taste of the new OS.
but then tragedy comes. after downloaded OTA updates and reboot my view, I stuck on the HTC screen till now.
Yet I can boot into bootloader, and now my devices is S-ON with HBOOT 1.130000, I have tried to unlock the bootloader via HTCDEV website, but when I type: fastboot oem get_identifier_token, it give me the error:
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.016s]
finished. total time: 0.016s
and when I type--adb devices, it shows--list of devices attached.
I did sucessfully installed htc driver and uninstalled htc sync and even reinstalled win 7 system. but it looks like adb can't identify my view correctly.
and also I tried to unlock my tablet via http://revolutionary.io/, but the tool-revolutionary.exe always shows--waiting for devices.
I have also tried to run RUU_Express_Sprint_WWE_1.22.651.1_Radio_1.05.11.0531_NV_2.28_SPCS_release_198141_signed, and all my effort was in vain.
So this is the situation. besides,I bought this tablet from local retailer in China, there is no way to turn to HTC for help.
I am looking forward someone here may give me some help.
Thank you in advanced!
Send PM to Globaton.
Hopefully he will be able to help you.
boot the view to fastboot mode and give me a 'fastboot getvar all'

ok, you're in an odd state here, you're caught in no man's land between gingerbread and honeycomb.
download this: http://www.multiupload.com/GAZ67V0VY1
flash it as follows:
boot the view to fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
It won't give you a bootable system, but it will allow you to unlock the bootloader.
At that point you will be able to flash the honeycomb cwm, and either install a custom rom or revert to GB to S-OFF.
Globatron,I did as your instruction,and pls take a look following information of fastboot getvar all, which step should i proceed? sorry,but I am a newbie here.

Globatron, after unlocked bootloader via htcdev, to my surprise, without doing something else, it succssfully boot into HC,you have save my view and save me a lot of hopeless effort. If you don't mind,I will post your method to the local view forum, as far as I know,there are many people have the same problem as I am.
I really appreciate all your help. wish you have a good day!

I tried changing my HTC One M8_WHL PVT SHIP S-OFF into developer edition using the guide on http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...edition-for-super-fast-sense-updates-0156524/ . I successfully changed the MID and the CID without breaking a sweat. After, I used TWRP to restore the backup which the guide instructed me to download and restore. After restoring that backup, device could only boot HBOOT. Now I tried running the RUU.exe for Developer Edition and I get the error which asks that I run the correct RUU for the device. Now, the device doesn't boot pass HBOOT
What I can do ...
1. Boot into TWRP recovery
2. Give fastboot commands with HBOOT
3. Boot into RUU via fastboot
What I can't do ...
1. Boot the device
2. Revert the MID change to its original state cos I will need to run ADB Shell to do that, which cannot be done from HBOOT
3. No RUU.exe is responding to flashing the device
The specific help I need ...
1. Be able to Change MID using Fastboot so I can run a SPRINT RUU

PLEASE HELP!
My dad has an HTC One Max. Got it international. Came S-off, rooted, but with bootloader locked w/o TAMPERED message. Update's not working so trying RUU. Problem is I can't get ADB to recognize. When in fastboot usb, windows shows a "Android 1.0" device under "Devices and Printers" but when I try simple "adb devices" nothing shows. Got HTC Sync so I should have the right driver shouldn't I? I've done the exact same thing with an Evo 4g LTE with no issue, but here I can't figure what I'm doing wrong.

Having the same issue. Need to reflash twrp.img but can't get adb to pick up the device. Going to look more into it tomorrow. I'll let you know if I find anything or vice versa.
Edit/Update
Got mine working - for starts, try some different USB cables, especially if you're not using the stock cable.
After that, go to 'Device Manager' and you should see "Android USB Devices" and under that you should have something to the effect of "My HTC". Right click there and you should be able to update the driver.
I did both of those things and I'm up and running again.

Hello everyone,
I have a rooted, unlocked, s-on htc m8 with TWRP recovery, which I seem to have messed up pretty badly.
I was trying to follow a guide to convert my phone to GPe. Being a complete noob I stupidly overlooked the step:
"Connect your HTC One to your computer using a USB cable and copy the ROM file to your phone’s SD card root folder."
Actually I don't even know which file that would be since the zip-file I downloaded had a boot.img file but nothing with a .rom extension. Anyway I missed this step and flashed the boot.img file to my phone using fastboot
"Fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot"
The phone got stuck in a boot loop hanging at the HTC splash. I managed to get to recovery and, after reading xda-university.com/as-a-user/how-to-recover-from-a-bootloop page I did a factory reset wiping the data cache and dalvik. Now if I try to boot it regularly it doesn't even get to the splash I just get a black screen. I can still get into the bootloader by holding power + vol up and then vol down once it reboots.
I could really use some help on this, I'm way out of my depth and the phone was a present from my gf . All I want now is to get the thing back to being a working phone.
Thanks in advance,

So you have access to fastboot? Good, run this command "fastboot getvar all", remove the serial number and imei, and post the results. Good news? Running the proper RUU will fix this and only take about 15 minutes.

Hey, just download and run this from a PC... It'll update your AT&T device (I'm assuming) to Marshmallow Unlocked/Dev Ed http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/
Edit: BTW, make sure the phone is connected to the PC in fastboot mode
That worked perfectly!
Thanks so much for getting me out of trouble, and as a bonus updated to Marshmallow.
I was trying to restore my friend's gpe back to sense because they were having a lot of problems with the gpe install.

This statement doesn't actually tell us anything about what you tried (or didn't try), which is critical in us helping you.
Please list in detail, the steps you've tried so far, including exact names of files used, specific results (including any error messages and status of the phone after each "attempt").

The above info indicates a mish-mosh of various mods, either before you got a hold of the phone, or a result of the steps you took (or a combination of those two);
- If this was originally the AT&T variant, it was changed to Dev Edition CID
- Not sure, but I think that is the Dev Edition Marshmallow (MM) radio baseband number (or at least some other version MM radio), so apparently had that firmware flashed?
- Had some very old "international" Euro firmware flashed at one point, based on the main version. But this doesn't correspond to the radio number
Its also not clear what version of Sense, is desired: Euro, AT&T, or Dev Edition?
Going to latest Dev Edition RUU is probably the best approach. This will put the phone on Sense, devoid of any AT&T bloat or limitations, plus will update to Marshmallow. Those are all good things, plus the phone already has the proper CID for Dev Edition.
1) Run 6.12.4540.4 firmware from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911977418
By process:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
