Hi there,
I'm having a bit of trouble relocking my bootloader. I've tried numerous times
using Hasoons toolkit but always get the following message.
< waiting for device >
...
(bootloader) Lock successfully...
(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_DISABLE ret = 134086000 (0x7FDFD70)
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.975s

Thanks,
Gary
It always gives me that message at the command prompt, just make sure the htc drivers are installed properly, which it sounds like they already are. It's relatively easy to do this without hansoons toolkit too, just download a adb_fastboot zip, extract the folder(such as the desktop), then run the following commands in command prompt
cd /path/to/adb/and/fastboot
fastboot oem lock
or for mac users
cd /path/to/adb/and/fastboot
./fastboot-mac oem lock
I really think you already got it all locked up tho, just boot into bootloader and read the the top line

I am following all instructions on htcdev.com
I get the following error.
C:\android>fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.009s]

Can anyone offer help????????????
I haven't seen that particular errror, but I'll offer what help I can.
Have you installed the htc drivers? If not you can download them from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20780879&postcount=1
You may want to make sure that HTC sync isn't running when you're trying to unlock. From my experience, it has been known to interfere.
hope this helps.
Also, not sure if you did this or not...(I did, but check and make sure you don't)
When copying and pasting the token id after you adb the get token id command make sure you don't copy the INFO text preceding each line. That may have mucked it up
I am an idiot. I misspelled the command it is identifier not indentifier
Unlocking Your Nexus Q
To unlock your device
1. cd to platform-tools
2. Reboot to the bootloader - adb reboot bootloader
3. Unlock your device* (with fastboot tool type): fastboot oem unlock
*You will have to accept and erase all the user data on the tablet.
*You must run this as sudo in Linux
Credits to FadedLite (very similar steps)
Figuring out the rooting next
If you just need "su"....
1. Download su from your busybox installation from say Galaxy Nexus.
2. Download the modified clockworksmod for Nexus Q that this guy put together:
bliny.net/blog/post/How-to-Root-Nexus-Q-%28Temporarily%29.asp
3. Boot into that recovery image will give you write access to /system
4. adb push su into /system/xbin/su
Did you already have your nexus Q in debug mode? I do not have the slider button on my Nexus 7 to put it into debug mode. It's not recognized in "adb devices" or "fastboot devices"
EDIT ***
I found out that the USB Debugging menu in the Nexus Q app shows up when you turn on Developer Options in the Settings > Developer Options menu of Jellybean on the Nexus 7. You might want to test this as well on your variety of devices.
Just me that thinks this thing needs google TV?
nevermind it worked now

the easiest way, assuming you are running windows, is to enter the comands once, and then just use the up arrow key to do it again. also, you may want to be sure its not already unlocked "fastboot getvar unlocked" will return "yes" if unlocked
Hey folks,
I already searched on XDA and the web, but found nothing helpful, so I decided to start an new thread:
I got my new ONE X PLUS just a few weeks ago and now I wanted to start with unlocking the bootloader and rooting it.
I already got some experience in unlocking, rooting and flashing with an HTC Incredible S and SE Xperia X8.
Prerequisites my Computer(win7 x64) fulfills:
Latest Android SDK installed
HTC Divers installed
Folder on HDD: C:\android\onexplus containing all necessary files.
So I followed all the steps on htcdev.com like I did with my Incredible S.
I´ve got my Unlock_Code.bin and wanted to flash that on my ONE X+.
So I executed
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
prompted the dialog on the phone with "YES" and got:
Code:
C:\android\onexplus>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.126s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) unlock token check successfully
FAILED (status read failed (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 49.707s
When I boot into bootloader again, it displays "unlocked" (see attached picture),although fastboot displayed an error.
So I tried to root it via rootboot, like mentioned in a whole lot of tutorials.
This is, what rootboot.bat returns to me:
Code:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
mount: Operation not permitted
failed to copy 'Tools/su' to '/system/xbin/su': Read-only file system
failed to copy 'Tools/Superuser.apk' to '/system/app/Superuser.apk': Read-only file system
Unable to chmod /system/xbin/su: No such file or directory
Press Enter
That seems to me like unlocking has failed and the phone is still locked.
When I want to lock it again via
Code:
fastboot oem lock
, fastboot displays the same error, but the bootloader again says locked!
Problem sources that I kicked out already:
Changed USB Cable and Port
Phone was always charged at least 90%
Reinstalled latest HTC Drivers and Android SDK & restarted the PC
Submitted my OEM_Identifier_Toeken again and got a new Unlock_Code.bin
Deleted all my old Files from rooting and flashing the IncS & X8
got a new folder (C:\android\onexplus) with all necessary files
Tested whole procedure also on a x64 Linux Box(latest Archlinux release): Same result: fastboot displays error code, but the Bootloader says "UNLOCKED". Interesting fact: The error on linux differs from the one on windows:
Code:
[email protected]:~/android: sudo ./fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)... OKAY
writing 'unlocktoken'... INFOunlock token check successfully
FAILED (status read failed (Cannot send after transport endpoint shutdown))
I am at my wit's end, obviously I did something wrong, but what ? Or is the device correctly unlocked and I just failed on rooting it ?
Is there another way to check if the device is correctly unlocked?
I don´t know if it´s useful, but here´s the result of "fastboot getvar all":
Code:
C:\android\onexplus>fastboot getvar all
(bootloader) version: 0.5a

After reinstalling the whole HTC Drivers and software pack, to have a clean base; Now I encounter another error when I execute
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
This time fastboot reports the following error:
Code:
C:\android\onexplus>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.078s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) unlock token check successfully
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 41.211s
And also the lock command gives me:
Code:
C:\android\onexplus>fastboot oem lock
...
(bootloader) Lock successfully...
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.104s
Another thought: Could this be a problem with the bootloader and fixed by installing an new RUU by HTC ?
And, like mentioned above, is there any way to check if the device was unlocked correctly ?
TIA

I'm no expert but on the past 4 HTC phones I've unlocked and the several I have unlocked for friends this error with "to many links" always comes up and says failed. It has never stopped any device I have from functioning.

Thanks a lot man :good:
TIA
PS: Edited, I really missed the forest for the trees
The too many links error, is usually cause you have more than one android device connected, or running the android emulator.

Never had more than one plugged in and never had emulator running. Either way it sounds fixed.
Absolutely fixed
Thanks a lot for the tips you two, great job! :good:
HOX+ running perfectly rooted.
Thank you
Roman
I see a little old but how did you fix this issue leuprechtroman? I am running into the same type of error.
Yes, I'd like to know too what was the way out of this?

How do I fix this to unlock the boot loader?!?!
If I do succeed at unlock my bootloader will this allow me by pass the sim card lock T-Mobile has of the phone?
Or is there something else I have to do for that like by a code from sim unlock site?
Also do need Super user pro for the adb shell or can I use the stock super user?
