@simon , you have to make a list of incompatible devices , and add that the bootloader should be UNLOCKABLE , unlike the guy above (actually i laughed for what he is complaining for , but people learn if they don't know ) he had hboot 1.08.0000 , and it doesn't show the Locked/Uncloked/Relocked Status up which it should do if the bootloader was unlockable ...

Now for some phones such as sensation xl , they don't have the misc partition visible or mounted , i see in the /dev/mtd is not there ! so you gotta ketchup the thing !

hum for those deviced try /dev/emmc

I cant really work on this utility right now. i need enough money to fix my computer, and that will take a while un aided seeing as i have no steady income. Anything helps though

Hey bro another 15 year old dev here! :P

I can tell you it won't work on the thunderbolt. I used btool to edit the misc and i dd if='ed it back to 0p17 but it didn't take.

With one, that was untouched european wildfire s with default HBOOT and radio (1.08.0000/7.54.39.28M) , i din't had success with unlocking part of the tool. It went all the way to the end with no errors but no UNLOCKED state at all (same as in Valorster screenshot). So i proceeded to the HTCdev way of unlocking. I went through the first step (updating the RUU), updated the same with EU one, and when i rebooted phone (normaly needed in process) on the screen was pink letters UNLOCKED... So, beacuse of new circumstances, i didn't went on with HTCdev process, rooted phone with unlockroot tool and installed Superuser. So, no tokens insert was needed at all.

On the other hand, on my personal wfs few days ago i updated HBOOT and Radio to the latest 2.14.401.1_Radio_47.23e.35.3038M_7.57.39.01M (i'm not S-OFF, just unlocked so i had to do that way) and, since in that process i locked my phone again, i just did a simple unlock part of the tool and all went perfect at first try. Phone was unlocked, SU and root didn't happened (again, same as in first example and just as same as in Valorster screenshot) so i rooted phone with http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1616326 (this time not with unlockroot since it doesn't work with new HBOOT yet) and now it's on the latest HBOOT and Radio...

So, for Valorster case maybe update of HBOOT will help... on the other hand, seems like utility behave better with newer updates from HTC but that doesn't have to be true, maybe just happened in my case

Hope that this can help in development of this awesome utility

thx for your nice repley!

the only reason why i dont want to unlock via htc dev is because i dont like it lol.
But you only updates the h-boot via htc and then stopped?

but the htc still knows you unlocked or not?

this little phone is a b*** to unlock lol

my DHD , E3D , TF300T , .... are al easy and the wfs is just

Yes... first i tried with Simon's Utility and then i just updated RUU

but the htc still knows you unlocked or not?

Huh, I think that they don't know... In my opinion part, in which HTC begin to be aware that you exist, is when you request token and they send you one. This part is just simple download of update so i don't think they would take that as any harm to their's preciousss super security
I would relock that phone just to see if that's true but that phone is not in my reach anymore...

Does this work with sensation hboot 1.18?can v lock it again with this utility?

Do the fota or updates. You won't even need to run the tool again
