[Q] Bootloader won't unlock

Jtmarch86 said:

Hey guys, I am trying to get my bootloader unlocked so I can root my HTC One.

I have installed the Android SDK (when the boxes come up to choose what to install, I leave the default ones checked, and click install. Are there other ones I need to install as well?)

I have also installed HTC Sync Manager, the ADB fastboot files, and java.

I turn off the phone, hold volume down + power to get into the bootloader then go to fastboot.
While in fastboot, I connect the phone to my PC through USB.

I then go to the folder I extracted the Fastboot and ADB tools to, hold shift and right click, then choose Open Command Prompt Here.
I then paste fastboot oem get_identifier_token
and hit enter

Then I copy all of the information

and it keeps telling me

Error Code: 160.
Error Reason: MID Not Allowed.

Unlocking Bootloader Failed

Yea, after doing some more research, it seems Verizon has blocked that method, which really sux. And I don't have one if
those $1100 java cards either.

But I did hear something about that rumrunner, I'll have to give that a try this morning. Thanks =)
