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

cd C:\Users\[Your Name Here]\unlock tools

Note: Ignore that mine says B: the default is C: I just have multiple hard drives and operating systems.

then type:

fastboot oem get_identifier_token

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:

fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

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:

fastboot oem lock

NM. It was posted when I refreshed.
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
Let me know if anything is unclear.
[HTC Rezound] ftmaniac948:
Someone get this guy a sticky! Well done with the instructions
[HTC Rezound] iceman99393:
i cant figure out how to open a bin file? lol nevermind it might have helped if i read the rest of htcs instructions.
[HTC Rezound] docbreen:
I lost 4g after I unlocked with this method and rooted with oneclick. Any ideas as to why?
[HTC Rezound] ftmaniac948:
4G is down right now, my guess is that it's a coincidence
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
Thanks! Also yeah, a sticky would be helpful :D
[HTC Rezound] mrbigdrawsz:
I'm new at this so excuse my ignorance.

I understand by doing this I'll be able to perm root and basically do anything to my phone that an fully rooted and s-off phone would be able to do. I also get that if I do relock it'll say relocked.

So my question is what is the benefit of having s-off if this method will do everything I need?
[HTC Rezound] Notorious:
S-off makes it easier. With htcdev unlock you don't get all the features you would get with s-off
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
With an unlocked bootloader without s-off it's more of a pain in the ass basically. Along with the fact that without s-off we can't touch certain partitions, including the radio firmware and other things. What we can do for now is flash custom recovery, roms, and kernals.
[HTC Rezound] mrbigdrawsz:
Can you give some examples of what features we don't get?
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
Look at my reply :P
[HTC Rezound] emarietta:
mines keeps telling me that fastboot is not reconized
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
Do you have USB debugging enabled?
[HTC Rezound] HTC Rezound:
I am at this part

Step 7

Navigate to where you unzipped the ZIP file and go to the folder you just created (For Example: If you created the folder in C:\Android, then you would type in Command Prompt: cd c:\Android).

I just dont understand. I extracted and installed "android-sdk-windows" to my desktop, now how do i get it on the Terminal?
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
There is a zip file at the bottom of the OP if you download that you don't need to worry about android-sdk-windows you just use the files inside. You just need to navigate to where you extracted the files in command line via the change directory command "cd". For example if I extracted it to my desktop in a folder called test the command would be

cd c:\users\[Your Username]\Desktop\Test

Then you would use the fastboot command to read the identifier token which is

fastboot oem get_identifier_token
[HTC Rezound] oxlong27:
Ok I got my unlock token (unlock code.bin) could any Linux savvy folks help me with what to type in the terminal to use it? Fastboot is working and debugging is enabled when I type in what the htc site says my terminal says cannot load unlock code.bin thanks guys please help. I'm on Linuxmint by the way
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
Is the unlock_code.bin in the same folder as adb and fastboot?
[HTC Rezound] oxlong27:
Ignore this but not my next post need help bad
[HTC Rezound] oxlong27:
Yes
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
I would like to thank you for this extremely useful tool. Worked like a charm and fairly painless. Just one thing, maybe post a link for drivers in the OP for ease of access.
[HTC Rezound] mrbigdrawsz:
Unlocked but Mobile Network Turned Off

I just unlocked my HTC Rezound but now I can't get the mobile network to activate. When I go to turn on the mobile network it's grayed out and I can't turn it on.

What went wrong here?

NVM, it just came back. Not sure what happened but after I put the back on the phone not leaving the battery exposed it connected. Hmmmm, don't think they had anything to do with each other but interesting coincidence. LOL
[HTC Rezound] HTC Rezound:
Ok, well my new rezound comes in the mail tomorrow, and I don't want to unlock the one I curently have, and I wanna make sure I don't miss this offer, so how do I just get the key to save for later?
[HTC Rezound] dochill4u:
Fortunately, it looks as if HTC intentionally provided us the unlock. You could wait till you get the new one. It should still be available unless HTC has a change of heart.
[HTC Rezound] theclueless:
the backplate acts as antenna pin connectors; so with the backplate off, you wont get any signals
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
Good point! I'll upload them when I get home. Thanks

Unfortunately for whatever reason I'm unable to attach files to my post at the moment. It says I have an invalid security token, so I'm going to post a link for now. Anyway could I please get a sticky for this?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Can I just go up to the part where I've downloaded the Unlock_Code.bin and stop? I wouldn't be at any point of no return right? I'm not ready to actually root yet, I just want to get my unlock code before Verizon steps in and screws this up. ;)
[HTC Rezound] jonathan413:
i use cd C:\Users\[Your Name Here]\unlock tools but it doesnt recgonize anything..do i need android sdk/ADB installed??
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
Correct, then you can stop and you have the code just in case.
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
Your name here needs to be replaced with your user name on windows. Like in my example. If you extracted the zip file from the OP to that directory you don't need Android sdk or ADB.
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
Just follow the steps with the new phone and stop after the unlock.bin.
[HTC Rezound] androidaddict23:
This what I'm getting
[HTC Rezound] androidaddict23:
Could make a video with steps to unlock the bootloader
[HTC Rezound] jonathan413:
lol sorry i didnt make it clear..everything is fine..i unzipped to desktop and put in the command but it says not found

edit: did everything right and i got a bunch of options instead of the token just popping up
[HTC Rezound] DJ Carpenter:
Instead of "\Users\family>c:android" put "\Users|family>cd c:\android".

Just add the cd with a space, then put c:\android and you should be good to go.

You'll have to do that every time.
[HTC Rezound] rultin:
Having issues unlocking the Rezound...

I've have gone through the HTCDev.com process several times. It accepts the device code and generates the .bin file. I then run the command to flash the bin file and the screen prompts me to choose Yes or No to unlock the bootloader. I select Yes to unlock the bootloader...........and the bootloader is still locked after it restarts.

Any ideas? Using Windows 7. Full admin when accessing cmd. I have run this at least 8 times with the same results.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Sounds like your unlock binary is corrupt or the phone is jacked. HTC might be the only ones that can help you. I'd suggest contacting their support.
[HTC Rezound] rultin:
So I've tried this process at least 12 times now. I have tried saving the bin file to several locations on my PC. The process completes as it should. Yet the bootloader remains locked. Called HTC Tech Support and got some bull answer about how they provide the process but do not support it. So no luck there....

Really looking for some help here folks. Flashed the newest RUU rom thinking maybe that would make a difference...nothing. I find it hard to believe that my phone is the only one that isn't unlocking.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
I was dealing with someone on another board with the same issue. If you know you're doing the process right, and it's still not taking then it probably is something up with the phone. Can you do a screenshot of your command line when all fastboot finishes? Maybe there's something that's missing...From there the best advice anyone can give at this point is to exchange the phone for a new one. Or wait until there's a reliable S-Off method.

Wrong Token Length Error?

I get this message when I enter the token that I get from the procedure?

=============================

Unlocking Bootloader Failed!

Sorry it didn't work out. Here's why:

Required Resources

Please make sure all items are installed and up to date.

Google Android SDK zip:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Java Runtime Environment:

http://java.com

HTC Sync (Windows Only):

http://www.htc.com/www/help/

We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.

Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.

Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won\'t work.
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
After several tries....

After several tries....Got my unlock_code.bin, This can be saved for later use....can't it? Not quite ready to unlock and root yet. Still getting used to the Android system....all my prior phones have been WM5, WM6, WM6.1 or WM6.5. Things are a "little" different...lol
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Yes, do not lose that unlock code. You can use it whenever you want.
[HTC Rezound] jski711:
ok where do i download adb from...... i can't find much info, maybe im missing something...
[HTC Rezound] brandonkill02:
any reason i would get this error i have copy and pasted this thing like ten times and keep getting this

Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.

Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won\'t work.

*EDIT* Sorry didnt see that post before i posted my issue *EDIT*
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Look in the unlock thread for my "carepackage" it has adb, fastboot and the two dll files.

Ok hopefully you see that you need to copy the token exactly not a column more or a row less.
[HTC Rezound] jski711:
which unlock thread, there are a few... thanks,

Backing out

So I need to return my phone the 3g/4g stopped working. Anyway is there a method to remove Amon Ra Recovery and put the factory recovery back in?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Scott hosts the RUU's on his site. That should get you 100% back to stock. except the "locked" part in the bootloader. Have you exhausted all options on the radio being hosed or just returning the phone because it's quicker/easier?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Try this:

sdk is up to vR16 so if that package isn't updated to that go here:

[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
I think someone should post a mini-sdk over here.. you know one with just the few files needed for the unlock process ..... like this one:

Anybody have input as to what roms have given you great battery life, any apps you have that help or what you do it improve battery life?

[HTC Sensation] remus82:
Any numbers on the drainage while on standby? May flash a miui rom soon if battery is really that good.
[HTC Sensation] smockpuv:
Mind telling me which MIUM ROM version you're running? I've never run MIUI and from what I see there is only one am I right? Most recent version is 1.12.23. If I run that with kernal 1.6 I should have great battery life? I'm not doubting you I'm actually really interested to try this, just want to make sure I get the same configuration as you have to see if I can get similar results. Thanks for the reply.

Also I have the normal sensation 4G not the XE, I noticed the bricked kernel V1.6 says XE, is that problematic with my phone or should I use V1.5?
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
I must say that ICS4.0 gave me much metter batt.life! im using ARHD 4.0.2 and using stock battery. batterylife is now better then stock ROM (android 2.3.4)

really think you should give it a try. (new firmware will give it even better i think, havent tried)
[HTC Sensation] -=LT-United=-:
Try to wipe battery stats.
[HTC Sensation] jasminthoria:
I tried most of the Rom Energy is the best for sense Rom. For no sense use miui but make sure do not install any launcher use the launcher come with miui.

If u r keen on sense Rom then make sure you have minimum widget running on home screen they r battery draining, try juice defender from market. Turn off auto update. Live wall paper will drain more battery as well.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mscuttari:
Hi, i made full wipe (more than 1 time) on my Desire and I've flashed RCMixS (a little modified by me), which I had also before the wipe.

The problem is that, after the rom has started, not all apps are installed (for example, the settings' app and the lockscreen's app are missing) and the rom is unusable.

I tried to flash also the RCMixS with data2ext and others roms, but the problem remains. Anyway, for example with the Aces Mod, there isn't this problem.

How can I resolve?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mscuttari:
Anyone? Please, it's important, I can't use the phone!

Works great, so much better than using the volume up/down keys and power keys. Two weird things that I want to see if anyone else is having issues with (want to know if it is worth reporting on the github)

1. After accessing recovery I get the "Tell HTC" This phone has just recovered from a abnormal reset message. Didn't get that with clockwork, not sure if it is a bug or not.

2. Cant mount ext SD card. Saw that the EVO 3D had the same issue but they had fixed it. I assume this is a problem with the Amaze since it is the same with clockwork mod?

[HTC Amaze 4G] gregma:
pardon the question, I've looked all over TeamWin's web site... Is there a way to boot the Amaze into twerp directly?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I don't understand your question.

You want to reboot into recovery?

adb reboot recovery

or use the 22 different other ways to reboot into recovery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gregma:
I'm talking about rebooting into recovery when I'm not anywhere near a computer. Such as on my HD2, I would hold the power button down until in MAGLDR, then choose to boot into Recovery. Is there something similar on the Amaze?

Greg
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Which rom are you using?

There are a couple of roms that have the Advanced Power Menu that has a reboot option. When selected it gives you other options such as recovery and bootloader.

There are also a few apps (do a search for Reboot Recovery) on the Market.

I have always used the option from ROM Manager.

You can also use terminal emulator and use the command "reboot recovery" and that should do it too.

You can also power off the device, hold volume down while pressing power to get to hboot mode then select recovery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gregma:
Stock ROM right now, I'm getting things set to start flashing new ROM's. Aha! I did see the "recovery" in hboot. Now once I figure out how I lost the ability to get into hboot by holding the volume down button I'll be good to go!
