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.

thanks for the quick reply ! Thats got to be it cause Ive tried everything. glad to know its not just 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.
Thanks

Same i been trying all day Error Code: 173.
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.

Yeah, just tried a couple more times. Same status. High hopes for tomorrow!
I can confirm that it is now back up and working. Unlocked.

Yeah. Confirmed. It's now working for me.. Hehehe. 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.

I have read a few posts that the HTD dev bootloader unlock app on the htc website isn't working for the Amaze. Anyone else having this issue today?
I wasn't able to unlock my new T-mobile US Amaze today. I get blank errors.
The error page says:
Error Code: .
Error Reason: .
I was getting this same error but i thought it was because i relocked mine and was unlocking it again. Luckily i found my unlock.bin file from the first time so i was able to re-unlock mine. But yes i got the same error.
sent from my Amaze Quiksense 2.1.2 w/faux .006 kernel
Tried doing it for my friend today. I got the same issue.
same issue with me as well
I had the same problem. Thank god I found my unlock code as well. For awhile there I was sweating bullets. I guess either HTC is locking down for some reason or the website is just down. I don't know. Sucks tho. If you can't remember like I couldn't and since HTC won't give you any instructions after the error check out this this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L30M6j8Kt-8
Thanks for the video link!
I think this may be happening for other phones as well. It is hopefully just that the unlock program is down for the whole site and they didn't specifically take it off for the Amaze.
same issue here too.
Tried 3 phones. No luck.
Even though the error codes saying nothing for me, but i can see in the address bar that the page i have been redirected to is for a CID not allowed error.
Can you guys check what you address bar says at the error page?
I got an email not sent in the address bar.

Seems to be down again today. Been showing maintenance message since 07:00 GMT. The one day I go to unlock my bootloader on One X
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

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.
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 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.

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.

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.

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?

Of course they are looking into it they have a few root methods but they are still trying to remove write protect from /system otherwise root is pointless.

"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?
