I don't know why but someone asked for more detailed instructions so here ya go. Plus with the zip you can bypass the file grabbing from the SDK.
Boot loader unlock WILL VOID your WARRENTY
Windows only at the moment. You can do it on a mac from their steps I'm just clarifying and speeding it up a bit. Click the thanks button if I helped!
Make sure you have HTC Drivers installed. If you need them you can download them here
1. Alright, so in order to unlock your rezound go to http://www.htcdev.com/ then click on unlock boot loader -> Get Started -> Now if you have an account, log in. Otherwise register, validate the email, and then click on Begin Unlock Bootloader. Accept their terms and agreements and continue to step 2 when the window with their steps open. DON'T CLOSE OUT OF THEIR INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Their steps are pretty clear but I'll put a brief summary here. Make sure you have USB debugging on. You have to boot the phone into the bootloader by taking the battery out, putting it back in, and then holding the power button and the volume down at the same time. You then select FASTBOOT in the menu by clicking the power button (it should be the first option). Plug the phone into your computer and don't touch it anymore.
3. Download the attached zip folder and extract it to a location of your choice (I chose C:\Users\[Your Name Here]\unlock tools). Now open up the command prompt by going to start and typing cmd in the search bar. When it opens up navigate to the directory you extracted the unlock tools to.
ex. this is what I would have to do
Note: Ignore that mine says B: the default is C: I just have multiple hard drives and operating systems.
then type:
when it finishes you should see a column of numbers, your unlock code. Copy the numbers and the start and stop lines without the bootloader prefix.
In order to copy right click -> Mark -> select the area -> Ctrl + C
Then go to the last page on the htc guide and paste it, for example
Click submit and if everything went well it should tell you to check your email!
After you receive your email from HTC simply download the Unlock_Code.bin and place it in the same folder as all of the other tools. Then in command prompt type:
Now on your phone you will see
Use the volume keys to move up and down and the power button to select, same as in the bootloader.
NOTE: THERE IS NO GOING BACK AND YOUR BOOTLOADER WILL SAY RE-LOCKED IF YOU CHOOSE TO RELOCK. THIS DOES VOID YOUR WARRENTY.
Also choosing yes WILL PERFORM A FACTORY RESET
Last but not least if you want to re-lock simply type:
