I had trouble unlocking the bootloader on my iMac but got it to work.
Just posting this to help out my fellow Mac Heads who've turned from the evil iPhone.
Unlocking your bootloader will probably or definitely void your warranty. I am in no way responsible for you screwing up your beautiful Rezound. (K, that's out of the way.)
Prep work:
1. I had an old Android SDK and couldn't get it to work.
HTC Dev site stated I only needed adb and fastboot for this (but I don't remember when I actually used an adb command). Anyhoo... download the latest Android SDK from the link provided by HTC Dev from the link at the right side (as your following the process). Save and uncompress it in the root of your hard drive and rename it ' android ' (no single quotes) - this step just makes it easier.
2. Check if there is a 'platform-tools' folder. If not then in the 'tools' folder just double click the 'android' file and it'll open Terminal and run the Android SDK Manager app. I only checked the 'Android SDK Platform-tools' for installation but you can install whatever else you want. Click the button 'Install (x) package' close to the bottom right. After it's done you'll find the 'platform-tools' folder and that's where adb will be. (Like I said, I don't remember using any ./adb commands, though)
NEXT FOLLOW THE HTC WEBSITE STEPS
(this is on the website)
1. After you've pulled the battery and placed it back in, hold VolumeDown and Power button to restart. At white screen, select Fastboot with volume rocker and hit the power button. Connect cable from phone to mac.
2. Download the Mac version of the Fastboot in Step 5 of the HTC Website. Uncompress it and place it in the root of the 'android' folder. Rename it 'fastboot' (without single quotes) from 'fastboot-mac'.
3. Open a new Terminal window (Applications/Utitilies).
Type: cd /android
(that's if you had placed the android folder at the root of your hard drive) or you can type: cd then <space> then drag the android folder from a finder window into the terminal window
hit return
Type: ./fastboot oem get_identifier_token
4. Per the instructions at the HTC Website Step 9, Copy the Identifier token text.
(I copied and pasted it into a text app and deleted the "(bootloader)" text in there, then copied the resulting text.)
5. Paste into HTC Website Step 10 inside the "My Device Identifier Token:" box and hit submit.
If it goes through you'll get a Congratulations webpage and your unlock file will be sent to your registered email.
6. Download the Unlock_code.bin file into the android folder where the 'fastboot' file should be.
7. Go back into the Terminal window.
Type: ./fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
8. Your phone should go off and come up with an Unlock Your Phone screen. Use the volume rocker to select Yes and hit the Power button. Should restart and you're good to go.
Good luck!

Will unlocking on OS X also result in a factory reset at the end?

Of course.
What Slacker101 said. Yup
I get a permission denied when i type '/android/fastboot oem get_identifier_token'.. any way around that? Also, i enabled myself at root user and admin.

Did you check the permissions on the file? Hopefully you can read/write/execute them. I don't see any mention of needing to be root so I'd assume you're safe without su'ing.

Since you're on a shared computer, just login as the main administrator member. If you had to enter a password when you dropped in the Android SDK into the root of your drive your specific login will probably have permission problems. Not a big deal, just annoying.
Or you can drop the android folder onto your Desktop and cd into that. Then you would just modify it to /Users/<yourusername>/Desktop/android/fastboot oem get_identifier_token for example. But you may not have to if you've already cd into the folder anyway.
When I follow your steps, I get the following message:
cannot load unlock_code.bin
Please help me

What step are you on?
edit: I'm guessing you're on step 7. Did you download the unlock file you received via email from htc dev directly to where the fastboot directly is in, i.e., /android/ or to a different place?

Are you currently in the same directory as unlock_code.bin when you run the fastboot command?

I copied the file from HTC's email and placed it in the Android folder which is in the root of my hard drive. The fastboot command I'm using is located there also.
FYI. I did downloaded the android sdk manager app since I didn't have a platforms-Tools folder. Now there's 2 fastboot files. One located in the root of the android folder and one located in the Platform-Tools folder where the adb command is.

when you typed in the command was it unlock_code.bin or Unlock_code.bin (capital 'U')? I'm not sure but it may be case sensitive (whatever is the exact case name for the unlock file). Try it out anyway.
I cut and paste the command directly from step 7. HTC's attached Unlock_code.bin is capitalized as is the copied command from step 7.
Guys, Thanks for your help. Had to get a new code. Works perfect now!!
You guys are great.
Now it say's sending unlock token... Now writing unlock token. How long should take? Phone hasn't rebooted or anything.
Stuck on writing unlock token. What should I do?

Ride it out for a little while. It should reboot and come up with the unlock screen on your phone.
Thanks xjedi. How long would you say I should wait before I know somethings wrong? If it's stuck, can I unplug my phone and redo while stuck at "writing unlock token"?

I'm always hesitant to disconnect when Terminal says its writing to. Always afraid of getting a Pretty Phone Brick. LOL If it isn't responsive then what can you do.
That being said I'd wait ten minutes. Quit Terminal then technically you'd just have to do that last command. I'd disconnect the phone for a few seconds then reconnect though. Open up Terminal and try again.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I rebooted then went back to the bootloader. As soon as I plugged the phone back in, it finished unlocking successfully. Thanks guys.
Trying to unlock bootloader on my Rezound. NO LUCK AT ALL. Tried it on a Vista PC, and also on a Mac OS X Lion computer, both have android sdk, fastboot (fastboot-mac), and any time the terminal creates a token, htcdev.com says it is invalid. HTC has been of my help. Token I get is:

Hello,
first i must apologize for my English but, i´ve got my phone back from display repair and i have it now out of warranty so i decide to make a root but i cant find step-by-step guide to do that. I´am on 6.0.1 android, Kernel 3.10.49, type VDF-995NB02-CZ10d.
No flash, no bootloader unlock, anything, i get it back after hard reset.
Can anyone help me please? I rooting for first time no Samsung device. I have some experience but i cannot downgrade to 5.1.1 to use Kingroot or MobileGo to root. After the root i want update back to 6.0.1 or use custom ROM.
i searched on Modaco and here but i cannot find guide what i can undestand and be sure if that will work for me.
Thanks for all replies :angel:

Take a backup of your data before proceeding further.
Try this,
Download adb and Koush Universal adb driver and install them on ur pc, always install the driver first and don't install the drivers adb setup asks u to install.
Run command prompt as administrator.
Open the folder in c drive where adb is installed, u can use file explorer for this.
Press Shift+right click and select open command window here.
Enable USB debugging on your phone and connect it to the pc by a USB cord.
Enter command "adb devices" without quotation marks.
If it shows some device connected, only then proceed further.
Enter command " adb reboot bootloader"
Enter command " fastboot devices", if it shows some device to be connected, only then proceed further.
Enter command " fastboot oem unlock".
Ur phone may then ask for final confirmation on the phone screen, select yes.
When procedure completes, type "fastboot reboot" and ur phone will reboot.
U can now use Kingoroot for pc or any other tool for rooting.

Hi, still in progress, i trying everything but still without succes. Someone know how to easily downgrade to 5.1.1 with this phone?
Now it give me this : <waiting for any device>
Hi guys, this is my first time creating a thread at XDA. So if there's anything wrong please correct me, and I'm not a native english speaker so I'm sorry if my word is confusing .
I'm not responsible for any damage that will happen to your phone. So DO IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK.
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER WILL WIPE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE, so please backup your data first before continue.
Rooting process WILL VOID YOUR GUARANTEE so keep that in mind.
If your phone is below version 320, please update your system first at least until version 320.
READ CAREFULLY, skip a step and it might brick your phone.
* If you want to use TWRP and do more with it, go to THIS THREAD to flash TWRP and flash magisk file yourself.
THIS IS FOR INFINIX NOTE 7 (X690B) ONLY. If your phone is X690/X690C I'm sorry but I can't help you since I don't have such phone model .
Download files:
ADB Tools: download here

********** PREPARATION **********
Extract the downloaded files in your PC
Open driverInstall.exe and install it.
Open Root folder, copy all the data to ADB_Fastboot folder.
Put Magisk APK to ADB_Fastboot folder and rename it to "magisk.apk".
In your phone, enable Developer Options.
At Developer Options, enable OEM Unlocking, enable USB Debugging, and set Default USB Configuration to File Transfer.
Plug your phone to your PC and run "cmd-here.exe" on your PC.
********** UNLOCK BOOTLOADER **********
If you already unlocked your bootloader, please skip this step.
In this step, your internal storage will be WIPED.
Type adb devices, there will be a popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flashing unlock. Press Volume UP on your phone to confirm.
If it's done, type fastboot reboot.
Your phone is wiped so set it all up again and do number 5 at Preparation step again.
********** ROOT/FLASH VIA FASTBOOT **********
Type adb devices, there will be popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flash boot boot_magisk.img.
Type fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta_empty.img.
Type fastboot reboot.
Your phone will reboot. After it goes to homescreen, type adb install magisk.apk.
Plug out your phone, connect to the internet, and open Magisk.
It'll shows a popup "Requires Additional Setup", tap OK.
Your phone will reboot itself and it's finally rooted.
* If you can't flash boot and vbmeta via fastboot, possibly because you're not installing the driver correctly or you haven't unlock your bootloader yet. So please do that step first.
********** UNROOT/FLASH VIA FASTBOOT **********
Type adb devices, there will be popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flash boot boot_ori.img.
Type fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_ori.img.
Type fastboot reboot.
********** RELOCK BOOTLOADER **********
FLASH YOUR PHONE TO STOCK ROM FIRST or else YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
Type adb devices, there will be popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flashing lock. Press Volume UP on your phone to confirm.
If it's done, type fastboot reboot.
********** SYSTEM UPDATE **********
You need to flash your phone with clean stock ROM and SPFT. This is optional since almost previous system update is just about security and minor improvement. Use MTK Bypass Tool to flash it without DA file.
If you want to uninstall system apps, I suggest to do it via ADB since uninstalling via root app is modifying your system, dangerous and might brick your phone. IDK if you can do it either. Tutorial is on youtube, just search it yourself.
Thanks to topjohnwu for Magisk.
Thanks to HemanthJabalpuri for TWRP.
Thanks to hovatek and X3non at Hovatek Forum for guide.

UNLOCK BOOTLOADER WILL WIPE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE, so please backup your data first before continue.
Rooting process WILL VOID YOUR GUARANTEE so keep that in mind.
If your phone is below version 320, please update your system first at least until version 320.
READ CAREFULLY, skip a step and it might brick your phone.
* There's Re-lock Bootloader and System Update guide at the bottom, so read it if you need it.
THIS IS FOR INFINIX NOTE 7 (X690B) ONLY. If your phone is X690/X690C I'm sorry but I can't help you since I don't have such phone model .
Please download the files according to your current build number.
Root file for X690B-H691DE-Q-GL-201014V320
Root file for X690B-H691DE-Q-GL-201201V322
Root file for X690B-H691DE-Q-GL-210127V326

Root file for X690B-H691DE-Q-GL-210622V337
Root file for X690B-H691DE-Q-GL-210630V338
* Magisk version 23.0
********** PREPARATION **********
Extract the downloaded files in your PC
Open driverInstall.exe and install it.
Open Root folder, copy all the data to ADB_Fastboot folder.
In your phone, enable Developer Options.
At Developer Options, enable OEM Unlocking, enable USB Debugging, and set Default USB Configuration to File Transfer.
Plug your phone to your PC and run "cmd-here.exe" on your PC.
********** UNLOCK BOOTLOADER **********
If you already unlocked your bootloader, please skip this step.
In this step, your internal storage will be WIPED.
Type adb devices, there will be a popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flashing unlock. Press Volume UP on your phone to confirm.
If it's done, type fastboot reboot.
Your phone is wiped so set it up all again and do just like number 5 at Preparation step again.
********** ROOT/FLASH VIA FASTBOOT **********
Type adb devices, there will be popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flash boot boot_magisk.img.
Type fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_patched.img.
Type fastboot reboot.
Your phone will reboot. After it goes to homescreen, type adb install magisk.apk.
Plug out your phone, connect to the internet, and open Magisk.
It'll shows a popup "Requires Additional Setup", tap OK.
Your phone will reboot itself and viola, it's finally rooted.
* If you can't flash boot and vbmeta via fastboot, possibly because you're not installing the driver or you haven't unlock your bootloader yet. So please do that step first.
********** UNROOT/FLASH VIA FASTBOOT **********
I haven't tried unroot my phone via Magisk app. So just to be safe, follow this unroot tutorial.
Type adb devices, there will be popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flash boot boot_ori.img.
Type fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_ori.img.
Type fastboot reboot.
********** RELOCK BOOTLOADER **********
UNROOT YOUR PHONE FIRST or YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
Type adb devices, there will be popup confirmation, tap Allow.
Type adb reboot-bootloader. Wait until there's USB logo with Fastboot text on your phone.
Type fastboot flashing lock. Press Volume UP on your phone to confirm.
If it's done, type fastboot reboot.
********** SYSTEM UPDATE **********
Basically it's doable, but only if your system partition is unmodified. You just unroot your phone and update the system in Settings.
If you want to uninstall system apps, I suggest just uninstall it via ADB since uninstalling via root app is modifying your system, dangerous and might brick your phone. Tutorial is alot on youtube so just search it yourself.
Thanks to topjohnwu for Magisk.

* Starting from firmware version X690B-H691DE-Q-GL-210630V338, if you already unroot your phone and it still failed to update, you need to flash your phone with clean stock ROM and SPFT. This is optional since almost previous system update is just about security and minor improvement. Use MTK Bypass Tool to flash it without DA file.
If you want to uninstall system apps, I suggest to do it via ADB since uninstalling via root app is modifying your system, dangerous and might brick your phone. IDK if you can do it either. Tutorial is on youtube, just search it yourself.

There's tutorial on hovatek forum, you can try it. I haven't tried that but if you want to try and error just go there and do it yourself.

IDK about custom rom, but you can try GSI ROM. AFAIK only AOSP based rom can boot on this device. Maybe i'm doing it wrong because i'm not a linux expert, so just flash it yourself using fastbootd method.
