Respect your mum!
Just for that............no answer!
For those all so senisitive plenty of respect for my mom its my noobisim not hers help is much is much appreciated
Do you have ADB installed? Try installing ADB then unzipping the fastboot package into that folder. There are really good directions on xda, or google.
But if you get to the point where you fastboot oem unlock. There should be the unique id number there that you use to unlock...
Also try to reflash the pudding and the fastboot oem unlock command.

What happens when you try?
Tried all that but unzipping to adb folder only to desktop will try that tomorrow morn when I get home from work and will repost thanks for the reply
I got all the way to the warranty warning screen entered the id but must of entered.it incorrectly it unlock aborting tried again with redoing reflash all over again and problem is when entering.the first command in adb shell it says wrong path specified that's where im stuck now
What I did was extract these files to : c:\atrix
pudding_183.sbf
adb
adbwinapi.dll
adbwinusbapi.dll
fastboot
IHOP_bell.sbf
moto-fastboot
recovery
I'm not sure if I needed every file but I got done by changing my directory to
cd c:\atrix
then fastboot oem unlock
wrote down the code
then fastboot oem unlock (your # here)
fastboot reboot
Make sure you enter it exactly as it shows on the screen, and yes that does include capitol letters.
That's the only tip I can think of.

I could be mis-reading this so if I am I apologize however it seems that you are using the wrong program you need to use the fastboot exe not adb which would be the reason for getting the error messages. (if that is the case)
Prolly not your case, but I extracted the files to a folder so when I typed in their destination, the powers that be couldn't see them where I told them to look...

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?
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.

Your best bet is to post step by step what you've done so we can figure out what you're not doing right.
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.

The instruction page at htc/dev unlock says if you use the unlock you void your warranty if your software is altered from stock.
From what i understand, its not unlocked yet, thats y they can still help

The HTCDev website says "I acknowledge that use of the unlock bootloader may void all or parts of my warranty device and my device may not function as intended by HTC."
You can see this here http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal
Also I just tried the entire process again using a Linux machine and a different HTCDev account sending to a non gmail address, same thing. It has to be a device issue.

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.
okay here is the story:
my freind bought a htc one x plus and it was working perfect till he reset the phone.
it now hangs on the " quietly brilliant screen" and does nothing else.
im not a novice on phones but would like some clarity on a fix.
i can confirm i can get the phone into bootloader mode and the below list appears i am unsure if the previous owner had installed a custom rom.
fastboot recovery
factory reset
simlock
show barcode
image crc
can some one give me some advice what a possible fix maybe i have been away from the scene for a while to due to illness
and are a bit rusty.
any help in plain simple terms would be most helpful thank you.
is it rooted?
if yes
install custom recovery
sideload a rom onto it
flash the correct kernel for it in bootloader (the mode your in right now)
if it's not rooted
find the correct RUU for it
he says its a sim free model so is there a european or uk sim free ruu u could point me to.
and how do i check its rooted ?
thanks
In hboot it will say unlocked..
I'm on the phone right now Google androidfiles ruu. Select enrc2b. Once you have it put the phone into boot loader and run it. Make sure you get one that = or > than the current hboot version

sorry not been lazy just carnt find a download to latest rom i need can u help thnks
go to bootloader choose fastboot and check what cid it is ("fastboot getvar cid")
we need to know cid to be sure which ruu u need
if it's unlocked you can easily use toolbox from this forum to flash a custom recovery and then flash a working rom.
there are also some threads in here which describe how to go back to stock rom, if you really prefere that
here are some useful links for you:

your screwed there's no vodaphone RUU's only way forward is to root the device OR return it to phones4u and get a replacement
its says unlocked at bootloader ?
has a recovery program called team win recovery project
can i flash a custom rom ?
if so can some 1 suggest a good one please
also can i just flash the rom directly or do i need the boot,img file also bit confused lol
yes just flash ANY International rom right now...please don't go asking "which rom is the best" it's all personal pref. just grab a rom flash the boot.img and tada
ok thanks for all your help
just one slight problem
when im plugging phone into usb its coming up htc mpt device
but nothing opens for me to transfer files to
in my computer device manager device is there but drivers are not installed how do i fix this thanks ?
this a nightmare any one help ?
It's a nightmare because your not taking time to think. You have to sideload the rom from recovery. Take a deep breath and learn to use the the search function of this forum. Search adb sideload. ALL of the information and more exist here. Just take it.

just pmed you but to point you into the right direction: it's the spaces in the path to the file...
just move the files you want to flash or sideload to a simpler path lik C:\Roms\ or something like that to avoid any errors. maybe a subfolder within the toolkit-folder.
also look exactly at the path of your adb folder. it must not have spaces.
Want to unlock your bootloader to install a custom recovery and root your One but have no idea how because you have a Mac?
Never fear, Gunnyman is here.
The procedure is actually pretty painless and only takes a few minutes
Some prerequisites:
ADB and Fastboot binaries for OS X, I've attached them to this post.
Your recovery of choice, I'm using Clockwork Mod Recovery, because TWRP seems to have problems with some Aroma installer based ROMS. Get CWM for the One from here
SuperUser.zip
a Unix friendly text editor. I really like Text Wrangler and it's free.
Android File Transfer for Mac macs don't work with MTP mode without this.
In developer Options on the phone, turn on USB Debugging
EDIT:
Thanks to user Shivasmith I now know you can skip textwrangler and
If you hold down the "Alt" (i.e. Option) key on the Mac keyboard in terminal you can do a "column select."
So when you generate the codes for the HTCdev unlock website, you can just do a straight copy-paste without going into TextWrangler. It made it that much quicker
So thanks for the tip!
I've been using macs for 10 years and never knew that.
1. Unzip the adb and fastboot binaries and put them where you can find them. I have a directory on my Mac called /Android and that's where my phone stuff lives, but you can put it anywhere.
2. Put the cwm recovery (or twrp if you prefer) in the same folder as adb and fastboot.
3. Got to htcdev.com and create an account there if you don't already have one.
4. Log in to htcdev.com and choose unlock bootloader.
5. pick the last option for Unlisted device.
6. Open a terminal window and navigate to where you installed fastboot,adb, and your recovery eg: cd /Users/Gunnyman/Android
7. In Terminal execute the following commands ./adb reboot bootloader once in bootloader mode In terminal execute the following command: ./fastboot oem get_identifier_token
8. Open Text Wrangler
9. Copy the output from the terminal window into Text Wrangler make sure you include every line AFTER "please cut the following message"
10. Use Text Wrangler to DELETE (bootloader) from every line and make sure the columns line up exactly.
11. Copy and Paste this output into the box you are provided on HTC Dev. This part is quite annoying, getting the lines to line up.
12. Submit your token. When successful you will be sent a key via email.
13. Put the Unlock.bin file you got via email in the same directory as adb and fastboot on your mac.
14. execute the following command in terminal with the phone in fastboot mode ./fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
15. Say yes to the prompts on the phone. Bootloader will unlock and the phone will be factory reset (there is NO way to avoid this)
16. OK Now the bootloader is unlocked. Time to install a recovery. In Terminal ./adb reboot bootloader
17. In terminal ./fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_recovery.img
18. After recovery has flashed POWER DOWN PHONE COMPLETELY Then restart it
19. connect phone to the Mac Android File Transfer should fire up
20. Put the Superuser.zip file on your phone
21. in Terminal ./adb reboot recovery
22. Flash the SuperUser.zip in recovery.
23. Pat yourself on the back your phone is now rooted.
great tutorial...thanks. quick question since i have the dev edition (unlock bootlader) can i just follow all these steps but go straight to # 16 to root my One?
thanks again.
Absolutely
WHEN I enter the "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin i get a "denied " message in the terminal can anyone figure this out for me
What are the cons of rooting the phone and installing a custom recovery?
I know that it voids the warranty. Is there anything else besides that?
Some people reported some functions not working.
Or is that just when you install a custom ROM?

I've seen it once before. It was solved by creating a new account on HTC.dev. And getting a new key.
No cons. Rooting doesn't do anything except add access to the super user account built into the device.

Did you let the phone turn on and boot and then turn it off? Its important because when you unlocked bootloader/flashed recovery it completely reset your system meaning you need to boot it up and let it install the necessary stuff during boot animation (why it always takes so long the first time you boot up)
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
I am pretty sure I did, I will reflash the recovery and see if that fixes it.
Edit: I just noticed I am unable to go back and reflash the the recovery. Is there a stock att version without root and CWM already on them so I can start from scratch?
Nice one gunnyman. Never disappoint. Its actually simpler to do on a mac because there isn't any driver installation. I just hope that AT&T allows us to do this for a while so that all of us here can get out key. Thats really all you need. You don't even need to do it, but its always a good idea to just get the key so if AT&T decides to block it again, you're safe.
If you guys are having trouble getting TWRP or CWS to work, make sure you have fastboot turned off in the power settings. It caused mine to not mount data sometimes.
This is a good right up. Finally have a way to do this on my Mac
