Is HTCdev down for bootloader unlocking? i can get on at times but i can never get the unlock code. i was able to get to the ID Token page but wasnt able to get any further. :/ is it just me orr...
as of 2pm EST its down for me too. Sometimes it will let me in but while im rebooting my OG Evo to put the identifier token in it'll freeze then go back to the error message :"We are sorry, but this section of site is temporarily closed.
"
Who knows how long this will go on for? Ive read that its been down in the past for up to 12 hours

Maybe a overload of the server?

how many people would be unlocking their phones?! dont you think we would have seen a GIANT influx in noobs
I've been trying to unlock bootloader on my Rezound I got yesterday, since about 10p last night Eastern.
Still no go. It's actually, really pissing me off. We shouldn't have to go thru their website to get this done.
I wish the people who are here on the forums would release the S-OFF stuff they've discovered.
What a crapshoot.

I was about to do it last night and decided not to yet cuz I was gonna try CleanTool (which no longer works....) But I held off and today all I can get is "We are sorry, but this section of site is temporarily closed."
same here as well
Site returns several errors on various stages of the walkthrough for me currently.
1. Typical access throttle message "you have exceeded the page load frequency" on either HTCDEV.com or on stage 1 or 2 of the unlock guide, which to remedy this I have to release/renew my external IP just to get back to htcdev.com
2. Receive blank white screen on stage one or two of the guide (If i even get to that point).
Has anyone found a maintenance log or down-time expectancy at all?
UPDATE!!
I got in!! it said token submitted!! still no email though. Waiting Patiently....
Works using Firefox. Dont use Chrome. That's what was wrong for me as far as i can tell.
sumit my token and WHERE IS MY DAMN EMAIL..been waiting since the damn morning only day off today to unlock the phone damn!
This is seriously so bloody frustrating, got my phone yesterday and I'm not going to start using it until I can unlock it, because I'll need to wipe it after doing so. I don't suppose there's any other way to generate a token?
Probably dumb suggestion since I am sure you checked,but check spam folder.

Frustrating. Just picked up my Rezound a few hours ago and I am getting to the same point of submitting my token and after a long delay it says the site is down for maintenance. Not a good first impression!
I'm also in the same boat of not wanting to use the phone until it's unlocked because it will end up being formatted.

yeah sadly its ip based not program i got the token accepted thing like 5 times. still no email. went from a locked down Droid x2 to an un-unlockable rezound (
Yep, same here now. Finally got it to go through once, but no email. Called HTC, got a fairly unfriendly CS rep that said "web sites go down from time to time for maintenance and it will be back up when they're done". I asked her if she was going to let anyone know and she said yes, but I doubt she will.
---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------
Called back because of how unpleasant the first lady was. Got a guy that was a lot more helpful. He said they are a completely separate entity from the dev side and that the only contact info they have is an email, but that he would fire one off. He also suggested everyone that is having a problem submit feedback through the link on the dev website stating that the token submission is broken and either throwing the maintenance error or saying it's sending an email but still isn't. I guess that's the best we can do right now.

Their site is screwed up at the moment, you, me and a lot of others are getting the same thing. Once they decide to fix it, it'll be good to go again. I've been trying since 10am, only up till an hour ago did their site even load for me.

There's even another thread in android general I think. Lots of people on several devices are having issues.

Yes, me too. I tried to unlock my friends One X but I also got the same error. HTC says that we need to give them 24-48 hours to resolve this error since their site had just been up after the maintenance. Lets just wait for it.

Alright, didn't know anyone got in touch with them about it. Looks like I'll try it again tomorrow night.
I did contact them since the error got up. They did reply after a few minutes and started the conversation then we they end up telling me to just wait for about a day or so to escalate the problem and resolve it.

Error Reason: Check Rule Fail with exception.
They said they would look into it 24-48 hours from when they contacted the user yesterday morning. We're still a day away from that and most likely longer from a fix. Calm down. This has happened before and the fix came. Just be patient.

Still nothing here either. HTC says that it will be no sooner than wednesday per my email response from them tonight.

I chatted with them and I really told them that I am sicked with the error in their site especially on unlocking bootloader then after a few minutes I treid it then wollaahhh.. It was successful. I have the code now. Just make sure after getting into the last step. Paste the token quickly then click the Submit button as fast as you can then it will be okay.
Hello Guys .. I'm trying to Unlock HTC Sensation XE bootloader but Can't do it since the www.htcdev.com always crashes with me .. i tried firefox,chrome and IE but still the same problem .. is there any other way to Unlock HTC bootlader please ?
HTC is currently fixing htcdev, it's been down since sunday and probably won't be fixed till the end of the week.
HTCdev.com has been wonky the past couple days. Try now, i got it to work after continually resubmitting... (maybe that's what the problem is...)
I unlocked two weeks ago and it took me a good twenty minutes to get that damn site to work... lol

Don't waste your time. I searched and you either have to pay for the service or it doesn't work at all. The HTC website is responding much better, but still isn't actually sending out the email. UGH!!!!

I just created 4 accounts and submitted the token 4 times. The bootloader email will not come. I had unlocked a Sensation last year and it came instantly whats going on? anyone get their email please let us know! and we will try again soon hopefully! hate stock lol
I unlocked my bootloader today, via the new method. The website was running smoothly (using Chrome), and I received my email immediately after I hit the submit button. I think it is hit or miss with people's connections.
Ive been trying the past few days to root my HTC evo v 3d on VM, but cant get the unlockcode.bin from them. It says that the token was submitted succesfully but when I check my email theres nothing. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? and if its just me could someone get the ulock code.bin and send it to me? my token is

Unfortunately you cannot get another persons unlockcode.bin as these keys are unique to each phone. (As far as i know) If someone knows any different please shed some light on this. Now I got some good news and bad news. Good news is that it isn't you. Bad news is that there's issues with the dev site. Users have reported that it takes a long time to get their unlock codes. Unfortunately there's no way around this. Keep ttrying. Eventually it'll go through. Good luck.

Alright, thanks for the update and info. I will keep trying!
Clear the cookies and cache of you internet browser, And try again. It usually helped me with the site.
After I had my phone in for repair yesterday, I had to unlock the bootloader all over again. I went to HTC DEV and put in my code.
I'm still waiting on the emails. I tried about 7 times, attempting to get a new unlock_bin each time, and still have not gotten 1 email. I think they are experiencing a problem with their mail server. It wasn't in my junk mail or anything.
Try again later today, it may have corrected itself. I found an old unlock_bin that worked for me from a previous unlock.

I'm getting a new one today and will be going through this same thing apparently, I still have my old unlock code as well, But i'm pretty sure that wont work...
It wont send me the damn code either.
And I'm very experienced with this process, I've done it probably 10 times.
It just wont send.
Received my replacement phone with OTA update installed. I had ViperDNA on the phone that broke, and miss it very much. :crying: Now, every couple hours, I search through XDA DNA forum, hoping to find our fabulous dev's have found a way arround this formidable roadblock. Thought maybe I'll start a thread all of us in the same boat can watch, and maybe chat, until this egg is cracked. If any dev's have any news for us, that would be great also. :fingers-crossed:
Hi I'm in the same boat. I got this phone yesterday for the first time and did the noob move of updating ota. So I'm just hanging around waiting I'm not even sure where we're supposed to check for news on this.

If you haven't unlocked and have the OTA then you can't unlock until a new method is found.
Is it possible, if I have never unlocked the bootloader or got CID because of latest OTA (2.04.605.2 71RD), to revert back to previous firmware by flashing RUU? would I then be able to run SuperCID apk, get CID and unlock bootloader?

There is no "current" unlock thread. There was an unlock thread from Nov 26th, then another one from Feb 7th. Also, there's an all in one tool kit from Jan 23rd, and a complete guide to root, too. All of these worked with the old firmware.
I'm pretty sure when a new unlock procedure is found, it will get it's own thread.

Thank goodness this phone is amazing even while stock. I just upgraded from the rezound, and even at its peak, rooted and overclocked to the max, it's nothing compared to this beast.

I tried RUU, multiple times, no go. Just got my replacement phone 2 days ago, like a noob first thing I did was OTA, I thought there was an unlock, wasn't until after I did I realized I should have gotten the unlock.bin FIRST.
I even tried to use the unlock.bin from the DNA I hard bricked. Ofcourse I knew that wouldn't work, but had to try. For 45 plus shipping I guess you can send it to someone and they JTAG and S-off. I looked up how to do it, the box you need is 200$ and you need to take the phone apart, remove battery, and all sorts of junk. I could have unbricked my other DNA with the JTAG method. I would rather wait to see if these guys figure it out. BTW do we know if anyone is even looking into it?

"If these guys figure it out"??????
Really? It's a puzzle. The Devs here live for figuring out puzzles. It's what they do for fun. It's why we have awesome ROMs etc. They WILL figure it out. Until then we just have to be a little patient. If patience isn't your thing, mail your phone away to MobileTechVideos. I'm interested in hearing first hand if they really do have it cracked. Me personally, I enjoy the rooting process. Doing it myself is half the fun. I'll wait. I got time.

This gives me hope my replacement will be original stock and not the OTA! Had to get a replacment that will show up tomorrow as my screen has a "dead" touchscreen line through it across the screen horizontally (right between the 3rd and 4th row of app shortcuts on the homescreen.
It's really weird...I cannot move any shortcuts in the 4th row above and any shortcuts in rows 1-3, I can move freely but not into the 4th row.
typing on the stock keyboard id doable, but any ttype of swype method (which I need and depend on, is impossible).
If it ships with the OTA I will be bummed

When you get the replacement can you just look at the software version on the box before opening it and if it's the new software send it back and say the box looked damaged and ask them to send a new one with the hope it has the old software?

Same issue for me since Wed last week! I am beginning to think that $200 just doesn't buy as much company support as $600 does.... Will probably sell the device if I can't get the bootloader unlocked soon.
I am having no issues loading the sites.
U might check any antivirus program u might have on our comp or firewalls

This has been happening since the day the phones came out. The good thing is that you only have to unlock one time. After a month with this phone, I am very happy with it. So don't let the unlock website ruin the phone for you. The rumor is that they run their website with hamsters, they probably tire easily. Small price to pay for such a cheap phone with such good specs.
I like the fact that Huawei has gone out of their way to tell developers how to unlock things and mess with things. Even one of their company reps has posted several times that he will give advice for those making mods.
Hello,
I had problems with the website as well - registering was fine, but the unlock part was always "busy".
I got my code by using the chinese part of the site - horribly slow, but it works.

I had to use the Chinese pages as well, but they worked.
Its been more than 32 days since I have bought my KIW-L22 (Indian version). I had no luck with site even though I used both IMEI numbers. Every time I do it, 14 days message appears. Its been more than 32 days and getting frustrated with it.

I haven't flashed TWRP yet and thus I don't know if it will do another factory reset... ^^

Hello, that won't do it, only the unlock does.
Unlocking the bootloader won't prevent OTA updates.
But custom recovery, like TWRP will. You will have to go back to stock before installing updates.

I had to give up and use the unofficial process. I detailed it here - http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/...our-honor-5x-official-and-unofficial-methods/

Not sure, if it's the same issue, but I think everyone has been misinterpreting the 14 days warning. What it says is the ID "has not been used on the phone for more than 14 days." While most people have understood that to mean "you have to have used the phone for 14 days," what I discovered it probably actually meant was "The ID you put in here has not been used on this phone for over 14 days" or, in my case "has never been used on this phone." I think the hard stop is trying to prevent granting unlock codes to inactive users, not new users. The second part of the equation is that the ID with which you log in has to be in some way tied to your phone. I had tried to log in with Facebook because my email registration had screwed up. I was getting that error because I hadn't used that Facebook account on my phone. So I downloaded the Facebook app, logged in with my account, and tried again. This time it worked!
TL;DR: Make sure you log into Huawei site using an ID (phone number, email address) that is actively tied to some account on your phone, be it Google, Facebook, etc, and you should get past the 14 days error.

I have created Huawei account using my yahoo email
Have installed Facebook app and login using the same yahoo email
Have installed yahoo mail app with same yahoo email
I still see the message
"The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days."
I was thinking of that in the same was as you @ultimahwhat thought, in previous two days in have installed almost every app published by Huawei and login using the same Huawei account by thinking it may identify my ID as "used in the device" still no luck.
Even I reset my phone to see if I missed something in initial setup like if I have skipped any Huawei login process in the setup process, but there is no such step in the initial setup.
So actually very disappointed and reall have no idea of what they say.
Feel like I would never buy any Huawei device again and never recommend Huawei to anyone.
This is gonna be my first and last Huawei device.
Dear @wimbet
Can you please explain what Huawei actually mean by that 14 days message and what Huawei expect user to perform for obtaining the unlock code as there is a big confusion in this matter?
I am very thankful for any information.
