Hi. I followed the HTC Dev unlock guide, but this is what I get after trying a few hundred times:
Unlocking Bootloader Failed!
Sorry it didn't work out. Here's why:
We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.
Error Code: 160.
Error Reason: MID Not Allowed.
WTF. NOT one guy on Google search encountered such problem... and I can assure you I'm not making any typos. I'm copying-pasting exactly what it's asking to, ex format:

My info: Stock, just got this phone, EVO 3D (Rogers), Radio 1.20.631.2
Rooted with Revolutionary, HBOOT 1.49.1107
You're help is appreciated.
If your rooted with revolutionary you can't use the HTC unlocker and why would you??? No wonder it doesn't work you are already unlocked and your hboot doesn't support the HTC unlocker you would have to take the OTA.
That's the thing, I tried before and after rooting. It didn't make a difference. I got the same error.
Dude,
If you unlocked with revolutionary why are you using htcdev tool. Its already unlocked!
Good luck!

I uh... did not know Revolutionary recovery unlocks too... I thought it was just for root and s-off... (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1247392)
Only one way to test, need another carrier sim!

You can be s-off through alpharev's tool, update to HBOOT 1.50, and unlock with HTC's tool/token just fine. I've done it myself just to see what would happen once other's said s-off was retained with HBOOT 1.50. I don't think HTC's method does much other then add a UN in front of LOCKED from a usability standpoint though.

Everyone answering here is CDMA, so unlocked to them means something different. I doubt HTC's method will sim unlock your phone. It just makes it so you can flash custom recoveries/roms/kernels/etc.
I have same problem with xoltrix2000 and my HTC Evo 3D same to you. Can't unlock bootloader through HTCDEV
What's odd is that other than deathscythevn and I, literally no one on the web has this issue, nothing at all! For a moment I felt special, but not in a good way.
xoltrix2000, I fix it already. You must flash ROM ship after you unlock with htcdev.
Cant unlock officially, not giving me error cods
I have a sprint Evo3d and this is what i get when i try unlock

I'm having the same problem
Hi All!
I have been trying to root my Legend. Finally I have been able to create a GoldCard even though some of the
instructions say you don't need one any more. I encountered a error 131.
Now I don't get a error 131 any more but a error[140] bootloader version error when following the HTCDev.
I tried the following RUU's
RUU_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.3_Radio_47.51.35.17_7.13.35.05_release_160328_signed
RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_47.39.35.09_7.08.35.21_release_130330_signed
RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.5_R_Radio_47.26.35.04_7.05.35.26L_release_126592_signed
RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.23.405.1_Radio_47.26.35.04_7.05.35.26L_release_120393_signed
But non of them seem to get me pass the 140 error.
Please, any tips?
Thanks!

Are you trying to unlock bootloader?
Just download LEGEIMG.zip and copy it to the root of SDCard
Turn on your phone in Bootlader, your phone will update hboot into 1.02 and unlock you bootloader
You can download LEGEIMG.zip at here mediafire.com/?yuz8tmtrsctw2ky
Is there any way to unlock htc one s bootloader without using htcdev. Unlock token check failed error message comes while using htcdev method.
HTCDev Unlock cannot fail IF you do everything correctly... Please try searching on youtube for a video on how to unlock the bootloader on a ONE X or S (exact same procedure).
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on my dna that's on 2.06 firmware. Please do not tell me to use moonshine, I have to unlock my bootloader first before trying. I've already had issues with it.
I unlocked my bootloader on earlier firmware (1.xx - I forget the exact version) so I have an old Unlock_code.bin from HTCDev. I already have SuperCID (all 1's), so I figured I didn't need to use jcase's newer method, which said it only worked on devices on 1.x anyway. I went through HTCDev anyway to make sure I could still unlock, but when I put in my device identifier token, I got error 160: MID not allowed.
As I said, I could just use the old Unlock_code.bin, but I want to do this the right way. Do I have to run jcase's exploit (even though it's only supposed to be for 1.x), or should I just use my old unlock code?
SOLVED
The answer is yes, you can use your old Unlock_code.bin, and you may have to. This will only work if you previously unlocked the bootloader and got SuperCID.
