I get this error on the 12th step on htcdev bootloader unlock thingy and i get this error: FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)

I have tried different methods but nothing have worked :( ...

I have tried to unistall and then restart and then installed all the drivers again 2 times, didnt work. I tried on my laptop and that wouldnt work either...
So if anyone know what this means or anything please answer on this thread!!

I also e-mailed the htcdev support and they said this: "Dear Pontus,

Thank you for contacting HTC.

I understand that you are experiencing problems unlocking your bootloader.

I think the root of the problem is that your unlock token is not valid.
To get a new, hopefully working, token go to HTCdev.com and follow the instructions there to download one."

Ive tried to do that also but it didnt work either :( so please guys help me out here!!!

I followed all the steps really urgent. I also got the e-mail correctly and put it in the folder with the 3 other files as they said.

+1 for this problem.

Just got my sensation XE back from warranty repair, most upsetting I can't get root with this HBOOT

What Version of hboot Do you have now?
I get mine back from warranty repair with 1.29.0000, cause they put a new Board in it.

May be there is an experience developer who want an image of my Stockrom to check some possibilities?

I have the same problem. Only difference is that I got my phone back with HBoot 1.18.0000. I could't unlock it via revo and htc dev. After the ICS update I have 1.27.0000. New board, too :mad: I think their doing this for every sent in sensation, because my sensation had a broken volume button and dust under the screen. So changing the board was completly pointless.

I've got the same, rooted phone back from repair. ICS preinstalled, HBOOT 1.29 and can't unlock it. Don't fancy the 'juopunutbear' method bridging connections etc, sounds messy.

Whole list of parts replaced for the dust under the screen problem, board changed giving new imei, wifi mac, bt mac etc etc.

I've replied to my 'repair thread' on HTC website telling them of the problem, I bought HTC so I could unlock and use OpenVPN. Will see what they say!

OK, update from me. I've logged a support request with HTCDEV, after going through the usual check details / make sure it's not something I'm doing wrong they're escalating it.

Given them details of serial number, IMEI, android/sense versions etc and it's being looked into.

I'll come back here once I've had something new from them, but at least the problems being looked at.

I Get This From htc_dev when I send that i flash Unlock_code.bin FAILD:


With regards to your enquiry, kindly this message means that you still have update so kindly we ask you to have the last update then try to unlock your bootloader.NOTE: as we mentioned in our last email between us that unlocking bootloader will make you out of warranty.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

WTF this means ???
