The only two potential issues I can see are, device should be in fastboot mode, but the HTC unlocking guide/steps will have advised this and if you're on windows, will need the correct drivers loaded, but the HTC unlocking guide/steps should have advised this also.
When i ran this command, it took about 3-4 seconds to complete. I followed each setup of the guide posted on HTC's web site. If you're experiencing issues with HTC's unlock method I would suggest referring to their troubleshooting tips.
I also ran the command from Linux so I didn't have to deal with any drivers. Hope that helps and good luck!
Im getting this "error: cannot load 'Unlock_code.bin" when trying to fastboot flash the unlock code htc dev sent me.Is anyone else seeing this or know how to get around it. I do have my unlock code in my platform tools folder which is where I open the command prompt from. I have also tried 2 different browsers. Im pretty sure its not my adb setup as I have unlocked my wifes rezound, my gnex,and also my n7 with it. Im at a loss. Any ideas or thoughts in getting this thing done are appreciated !

Hi all,
Quick question, couldn't find an answer in search.
I have fallowed the instructions to the letter and when I get to the section where I input the request for a token, I get this message in the command prompt, "waiting for device".
I have the AT&T One X+.
Any ideas please, thanks.
If you need any info, please ask.

What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to unlock the bootloader?

I've had my Captivate and my SGS II rooted and installed custom roms. But it's different now. I need help unlocking the bootloader.
This is what I see.
Thanks
Adb debugging turned on?
Try another usb port and/or another usb cable.

To unlock my bootloader I use a toolkit from hassoon. Switch usb ports make sure usb debug is enabled and then use the toolkit where you can choose the unlock.bin file. It's pretty easy using the toolkit.

I tried the kit from Hassoon, but when I tried to download driver files, it said this doesn't work with windows 8.
I tried other cords and ports and get the same message.
Kind of lost here.
This might be worth a shot but have you tried changing the compatibility to Windows 7 anything other than Windows 8

You have a space in the directory path. Copy the folder to the C drive and it'll work.

It just keeps saying device not found. It started successfully but it says not found. Must be a bad cord or something. Kept getting that message in the HTC software too. I am on windows 8, is that a problem??? I have XP on my desk top.
Thanks so much for the replies.
Tried it on my desktop which has windows 7 and XP. used 7 and got the devise not found error.
Do I need mock locations or any other settings?
Is the cord that important? I have tried several diff cords. And ports.
Lost! :crying:
That doesn't have anything to do with it just make sure usb debug is enabled.
Have you tried entering fastboot manually? What I usually do is I use the toolkit, put my phone in fastboot, plug in the phone and it will change to fastboot usb. Run the unlock bootloader option on the toolkit. Select your unlock.bin file. The first command prompt will say no device or waiting for device. I usually close out the command window after you close the prompt another one will pop up and will send the bin file to the phone. And will see on the phone to unlock the bootloader.
Also make sure you do have the correct usb drivers installed.

Well, nothing is working. HTC sync wont recognize my phone either.
Does anyone have a link for the drivers needed on a windows 8 computer???? The drivers on the post for the all in one tool kit will not work on my system. I don't know if I have the correct drivers or I don't.
Uninstall HTC Sync, then take a moment to read and follow this instruction page, it should work after.
Alright, As I'm new to the idea of using Command Prompt to unlock a phone, I really need some help: When I try to get the Token for the website to allow the Dev Unlock, It will not load any text in the command window.
I've done it before, But it will not load this time. (I removed the battery, entered fastboot USB, and entered the command line text)
It just says "Waiting for device"
Any idea on what's happening?

Windows Eight doesn't like my Driver download
It does say, However, My phone is unlocked.
I just tried to install a ROM but it gave a status 7 error, Fixed that, and now I get a Status 6 Error...
I'm really lost, I'm kinda nervous LOL
Mi unlock app is only available on windows (and I'm no longer able to find the old form to get the unlock code). Is it possible to unlock the bootloader while on linux (using fastboot like most other phones) ?

Grab virtualbox, should have one ready to start anytime.. you never know when you need it... Sometimes it is easier to just download and run that windows program than to searh for a workaround for days hehe

Yes but since it's using usb I don't think that virtualbox is reliable (had a lot of troubles rooting my previous phone using a virtualized windows and it finally worked using a real windows). Is there no more way to get the unlock code (to use it with fastboot oem unlock) ?

Unfortunately no.
When you use the right windows there is no problem, i always use it that way.. fastboot and adb work 100% fine but don't wait for MTP showing your phone
Just don't use bloated standard windows, no home or pro version, get ltsb... Not ltsc
I finally unlocked my bootloader using a windows device but another issue I found is that fastboot is not working using linux (working only on windows). The command just hang and never finish. Maybe a driver issue ?
Hi,
Here is a great way to do it. Maybe it will help next time!
