Unlocked a "relocked" bootloader - HTC Rezound

I bought used Rezound and figured I'd unlock the bootloader using HTCDev.com
I go through all the steps and at the last part after I enter the token I get this:
Unlocking Bootloader Failed!
Sorry it didn't work out. Here's why:
We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.
Error Code: 173.
Error Reason: Check Rule Fail with exception.
I noticed the top of the screen on my phone says ***RELOCKED***
Is there not a way to unlock it once its relocked?

no, you can unlock it once it's relocked. Most of us that have taken the OTA by RUUing had to unlock and relock . So, I would go through the process again , just check and double check the steps. I had an issue where it failed 8 straight attemtps and it turned out I was actually copying a space in the code..once I removed the space it went right through.

I made sure I wasn't copying the spaces, tried again and took a screen shot.
Gave same error

It has let me redo the HTC Dec steps with my phone multiple times. I finally figuired out once you get the unlock.bin file you can always reuse it. I do what is stopping you. :/
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App

Yeah I googled the heck out of everything I could think of and searched XDA and found almost nothing.
Guess I'm just lucky

Maybe a dumb question, but your not including "please cut the following " part in it when you submit are you ?

Nope only pasted what I have highlighted in post 3.
Not to mention I have purposely copied them or some stuff out, and get a normal error to the extent of "You're token is to long, or to short" ect.

Sorry, no idea then ..

So wait, where did you get this phone? Is it possible the old owner unlocked it, relocked it, then sold it? If so, anybody know if he will be able to unlock since he probably doesn't have the original key?

That is correct. I had no idea but that's what I realized.
If I can't I'm going to sell this damn thing for a Nexus.

Unlocking Bootloader Failed! 173
I am getting the same error. I just activated the phone yesterday and have tried the process on a PC and a Mac now. Are the token identifiers supposed to change every time? I noticed that every time I type the command fastboot oem get_identifier_token I get a different token. I read some other posts where they were having problems and it ended up being a hardware issue. Any thoughts?

I have unlocked and relocked my phone 2 times now, and got a different token and identifier every time, so it shouldn't matter if he has the original unlock token or not.

but if you want to re-unlock you can re use the same unlock bin file without generating a new token. If you make a new token your bin file is invalidated.

if you've bought a used rezound, that means the person
who sold probably unlocked the phone first.
why not ask that person for the unlocked token he used?

Ah, gotcha .. I had already deleted the first token so didn't have a choice hehe

This is an issue with the website, not the phone. I'm dealing with the same bull****.

---

I had the same problem. I relocked to get the update and could not unlock. I don't know what the fix is. Fortunately I saved the file from the first time I unlocked and it worked fine.

You know, I don't know if that's sensitive info but you may want to black some of that out just in case since it pertains to your particular device. Probably doesn't matter but I always opt for the safe route since I'm a paranoid android.
EDIT: Looks like HTC fixed the issue and people are getting their unlock codes now.
