I know this seems like a dumb question but I assure you there is some logic to it.
My dopey friend started to unlock his Prime, but his connection via USB came undone and he says that the unlocking "failed". He came to me asking if it worked or not. I'm no expert, but I am curious.
Here are the variables:
1. When I attempt to run Unlock Device, everything prompts you like it's never been done.
2. When booting with power and voldown, it quickly flashes something like "android userh bootloader version 1.20 us_eepad blah blah" then gives the option for cold boot or wipe data.
3. ROM manager doesn't have CWM installed and when selecting boot into recovery, it simply restarts the device.
The device seems to be rooted though.
Thoughts?
Contact Asus through e-mail or phone call, give them the serial number and ask if it's unlocked.
Or see if you can download the OTA update, if it bricks, then it's unlocked.
If it does not give you the fastboot option together with wipe data and cold boot it is not unlocked
There should be a file called Unlock_Time.txt on your tablets memory.(at least I think that's created when you unlock the device)
I soft-bricked my ONE MAX after doing the update to Android 4.4.2 (Kitkat) yesterday.
It definitely turns on, but cant get past the htc one logo. Although, prior to that, screen goes green and pink.

FYI, my phone isn't rooted. Although I did try in the past, I've used one click root (Didn't work) and the SUPER TOOL from Kwongger (Also didnt work for me). So I relocked the boot loader, couple of weeks its fine, just after updating to kitkat yesterday when it started happening.
Since its not rooted, I believe that's one of the reasons its not letting me flash a ROM or recovery. It's just saying device not found when using Squabbis kit.
I really need help, please.
Ok, You may follow these steps if your phone is an international version cause the rom in this post is for international version only. You may search the forum for a rom fitting your phone if it is not the international one but the procedures remain the same... ( Please note that my phone was not rooted too).
First of all
Last time I was facing the same problem. A special Thank to Pradeepvizz for his help.
So to install recovery, You need to unlock your bootloader AGAIN cause I also relocked my bootloader and getting the TAMPERED RELOCKED AND S ON. My phone freeze at boot on the HTC Screen.
1. Re - unlock your bootloader using the same unlock.bin file,( fyi, i've done it by htcdev.com), I think your adb and fastboot drivers working fine if you've been able to unlock before.
2. I follow the procedures of punk9 from - One Max Android Development > [Guide] S-OFF / Root.Your HTC One Max. to know how to install a recovery software using cmd prompt.
3. I've used TWRP as recovery (DON'T USE CWM, i'VE GOT MANY ISSUES WITH,and i was not the only one to get issues) downloaded from - One Max Original Android Development > [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.6.3.0 touch recovery posted by Flyhalf205.
4. I've downloaded and install a clean stock rom already rooted with original kernel which i downloaded from One Max Android Development > [ROM] HTC One MAX Stock ROM | ROOT | INTERNATIONAL | DEODEXED |1.54.401.1 posted by pradeepvizz.
5. After the rom successfully installed, reboot, (btw, it took more than 5mins to boot the first time for me, so if you find that it is screw at HTC Screen, be patient...)
After configuration (language setup, wifi connection, google account and so on), I've S-OFF my phone using firewater. PLEASE make sure your phone is connected to internet during the process. I've follow these step to S-OFF my phone: One Max General > Firewater S-OFF posted by pradeepvizz.
After, these procedures I've noticed, when booting in fastboot mode, that the TAMPERED STAMP and S-ON disappeared and change to UNLOCKED and S-OFF.
When I switch my phone on, I get the Red message (watermark) about the disclaimer and you may remove it by following this guide( I did not do it cause the red watermark does not matter to me) : One Max Android Development > ★ ☆ [MOD] Remove Red Text on Splash screen | hboot | Vzw/Spr/Int | 11-30-13 | ☆ ★ posted by santod040..
Althought I've unlocked my bootloader via htcdev, I've noticed that fingerprint sensor working fine but anyway you may search the forum to get the solution for this issue.
Hope It helps.

Super thanks for taking your time to reply to my post. I tried following this but it's not working. Only thing I can think of is because I was able to do a factory reset, so Im guessing maybe the usb debugging is/was disabled so its saying here that "Device not found". I cant unlock my bootloader anymore

You don't need USB debugging to unlock, make sure your phone shows fastboot USB mode and that should be shown on the phone. You probably are in HBOOT and that is why it says device not found.

I'm guessing a problem about your cable or your connection, or adb drivers. Are all the items needed in same folder? in directory c:/ ?? Adb, fastboot drivers and unlock.bin should be in same folder. No need to enable usb debugging when unlocking. it will take place only when flashing the rom or recovery. Did you follow the procedures from htcdev??
I did not give the procedures of unlocking bootloader as htcdev procedures are clear. check your connection, re install adb and fast boot drivers. use another usb port on your pc.
It must work.
I am curious to know how you are trying to install KitKat on a Sprint One Max as HTC has not yet released the update? If you are trying to use the release for the HTC One, that may be your problem. Rooting is fairly simple using HTCDev to unlock the bootloader, Use TWRP 2.6... and SuperSU 1.91. If you will need to be able to install a custom rom (none of which are available for Sprint yet), you will ultimately want S-Off. For this you will need to use the rumrunner tool as your One Max is using Hboot 2.46. Once you're S-Off you will be able to remove your tampered flag and re-lock which will once again enable your fingerprint scanner.
FYI if you were forced to factory reset, you will need to re-enable adb bugging in settings - developer options, AND disable fast boot in settings - power. Then start over from scratch.

Bro, thanks I finally got it working. My girlfriend was actually the one who worked with it, followed your guide and other people's. Apparently, my htc drivers weren't updated thats why it wasnt working on my laptop. Again, thanks to the people that took their time to provide some help.

It's good to see "CONFIDENCE". Makes people try harder and more careful to follow instructions.
It's not confidence, it's based on some experince

Are you able to reboot into recovery mode via TWRP ?
Alright guys, Ive been trying to fix my friends DNA i guess from what he said is that he had a system update happen on his phone and it would just stay on the "HTC Quite Brilliant" Page. I tried a factory reset, and that didn't do anything, I went into recovery to wipe cache partition. I also tried wipe data/factory reset from recovery as well as hboot. so i got adb and i plugged the phone in while on fastboot. "adb devices" Shows nothing its just blank underneath the listed devices. So i figured that the drivers wont install i installed htc sync manager as advertised has the supporting drivers. Htc sync manager reads the device but doesn't say its a DNA it just says that its rom number. I tried to go to fastboot and put a previous dated RUU on but it had a error and just couldn't do anything with the phone. So now i went into the recovery and behind the menu screen it says "updating software from verizon wireless" but theres a issue with that is that the sim card in it isnt activated anymore so theres no data going to that phone if it is updating and if it downloaded the os to the phone it should be wiped since i did a factory reset 3 times and wiped cache 3 times as well.
So What i think is wrong is that:
I need usb Debugging on
S is on
Drivers wont install properly
I may need a active sim card to pass the updating?

I tried to unlock the device to see if this would help out and i got it connected and i went and i got the token for the device and went to get the tocken and it came back with a error code
Error Code: 160.
Error Reason: MID Not Allowed.
Can someone please help me out here?
I was missing android sdk and i installed android sdk, and my device will read in adb but when i got to flash a udate it will read signature error. but im not using the word update im using "fastboot flash hboot hboot.img" and so forth and its not working i still cant get the hboot to unlock. please help me figure out if its possible to fix this phone im really determined to fix it and i need alittle bit of help.
Unfortunately, unless you can boot into the ROM, you cannot unlock this phone. I suggest contacting HTC support and let them know the update soft bricked the device and since you cannot unlock it, you need their help in getting it to boot again. HTC is very good when it comes to support, even for phones that are out of warranty. Support staff have been instructed to fix any m7 even if out of warranty period for the camera issue (talked to a rep personally on this issue today when making small talk). I am sure if their update borked your phone and it hasn't been tampered, they will fix it free of charge. What's the worse they can say, no?
Sent from my One using XDA Free mobile app
I contacted there support 2 times on the phone and once trying to live chat and i got hung up on twice.. so im at loss here
Im really not happy with htc they cant tell me anything to any cause to why there update would cause the softbrick on the phone itself did anyone else have a issue with 4.09 update bricking your phone?? and did anyone find a solution for it?
