Just as the title states...
I have completed the process on the HTCDev site many many times. The process itself works fantastic. Each step responds exactly how they state it should. I submit the token code and get a Bin file. Using fastboot to flash the Bin file results in the phone prompting me to unlock the bootloader. I select yes using the volume up and then hit power. The phone powers off and reboots restoring everything to factory. So it would seem that everything works correctly. I get no error messages during the process. I get nothing but the results that I should be expecting...EXCEPT...
The bootloader remains locked.
I'm beyond frustrated at this point. I've followed every single set of instructions just thinking maybe there's a step missing in one of them. Yet they all perform the same. End result...Bootloader still locked. No idea what is going on. Called HTC Tech Support and they weren't any help at all. Basically they said to leave a comment on the HTCDev site.
Any ideas???
Have you tried flashing anything even though it still says locked? It is a longshot, but there is a chance it is unlocked but just still says locked.

Since it's getting wiped anyway, exchange the phone for a new one.

I second that, I had a problem Unlocking my Rezound, I called HTC they said they dont replace phones and to call VZW. I called VZW told them that HTC told me to call for a replacement, they gave me a hard time. I told them as a developer, not being able to unlock my phone is a detrimental to my livelyhood. They sent me a refurb (standard) and I had no problems unlocking it. I posted my saga over in general you can see it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416472
Trying to unlock my Rezound through HTCDev. I have tried a dozen times following directions and rechecking directions and then rechecking them again. This is what I get:
Error Code: 173.
Error Reason: Check Rule Fail with exception
any idea what causes that error code? I tried to research it but the only mentions of it seem to be from today which makes me wonder if it could be a problem with the website.

Same issue here

I'm having the same problem as well, also on a Rezound. I second the "problem with the web site" theory.
check my twitter. i am talking to them through there about it.

I'm currently getting this error too when trying to unlock an evo 3d. It must be a website issue.
update

I'm also having the same problem while trying to unlock my Wildfire S. I hope is a website problem.
Same problem on a rezound
I've been experiencing the same problem for the last few hours. I've tried every troubleshooting step I can think of, Uninstalled, downloaded new, and reinstalled the Android SDK and HTC Drivers. Swapped my extended battery out for the standard battery and vice versa, just in case that was somehow affecting the token.
No improvement.
I did notice that each time I run
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
I get a unique Token in response. In over twenty tries it seemd to be different each time. Is that typical?

Yes, its a different token each time you run it.
Thanks for the confirmation!
I appreciate your confirmation that the Token is unique each time it is run. I didn't notice clear information about that on other forums.
Looks like the Tweets are active @HTCdev on the 173 issue. Hopefully we will see resolution soon, I'm excited to try an ICS ROM.
Thanks, I have the same issue...
Figures the day I finally decide to root my Rezound and install ICS something goes wrong...
Same thing here also, I called HTC but I didnt get anywhere. They said they would create a trouble ticket and somebody will contact me within 10 days.
So got this error on my buddies device because he did the update before I could tell him not to. (Whoops) anyways, I still have my unlock code from when I unlocked mine. Can I use that and be good? Thanks for any insight community.

The update has nothing to do with it, I just got a replacement phone today and it had hboot 2.10 on it, and it didnt work. I updated to hboot 2.11 and same thing.
I just got my Rezound in today.
I'm getting the same error from the site as well. I got mine from Costco in the mail because they were out of stock at the store.
I guess I am waiting this out to see what happens.
As a note, I have not activated the phone yet. Just left it in the charger for a bit, then tarted my unlock phase. Not sure if this is related, but, merely trying to provide some more info to the issue.
Update from @htcdev:
"@teletype3 @con247 @JMZ_software Hi all - we did find an issue and have escalated this to find the cause of the problem."
EDIT: It's working now!
"Token Submitted Successfully!
You've been sent an email with your unlock key as a file attachment. Please review this email for further instructions and a link to complete the Bootloader process."
And I did indeed get my Unlock_code.bin.
Possibly fixed
I was just able to to successfully submit a token and was sent a .bin file in response. I've just pushed the file to my phone..
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
..confirmed my choice to unlock, and am rebooting now.
I got the same error yesterday night and stayed up the whole night trying to resolve the problem, finally it turns out to be caused by the website itself, holy ****.

I have a question. I recently had a hard drive crash and lost my Unlock_code. is there a way to get a copy of it? Can I repopulate a new one from HTCDev?
Thanks in advance!
Hey all. So I just bought a used evo lte off of eBay. I tried unlocking the boot loader with htc dev unlock, but every time I enter in the unlock token command in fast boot, it says remote token check failed. I went online and found out that the board inside the phone may have been switched by a phone repair shop, and that could be why the token number doesn't match the one htc has on file. Is there any fix to this? I really want to flash some roms on this thing.
the toke is generated everytime you run the command, try on a different PC maybe or run one of those auto-rooters. cant remember the name of it

Hi there! I tried today unlocking bootloader on my HTC Desire 300 but it didn't work. I went to HTCdev site, made an account, logged in with it but the moment I log in it just logs me out so I can't even get to ,,unlocking bootloaderĖ.
Please help.
can you post the steps that you tried and the errors when it didn't work? Do you have an unlock code? How about one of the other sites offering unlock codes for HTC devices?

I decided to go with these instructiones ,,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602301'' and, according to them, first I have to unlock bootloader with HTC dev but I was unable to do that so right now I'm not sure what to do (I'm just a newbie in all of this so...XD).
When I first tried to log in HTCdev on Firefox it wouldn't let me (because the connection was not secure). Then I used Internet explorer and it would log me out whenever I log in.
Is there some other way to unlock bootloader so that I don't have to go to HTCdev?
you should be able to obtain the unlock code elsewhere.
