I think it really boils down to one question: How many phones have you destroyed in your cell carrying career?

If the answer is more than one, sounds like Square Trade is yoir best bet for an unlocked phone! :)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jonnyzlio:
That was well said..really! I got am $89 when I clicked through an e-mail I had since am already a customer with ST, but I 4got the $99 deductible. Putting that into consideration with the $90 it is almost $200 which is near to any new phone on the next upgrade! I think I'll pass..thanks 4 the advice.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jonnyzlio:
I had like 6 phones, out of which 4 were smart phones(some older generations of course..not really "smart" ! ) only the last htc's display got broken, which I later found was common with this specific model "htc Aria" since the display has no plastic margin surrounding, and protecting, it.

I guess I'll pass ST!

Thanks :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jonnyzlio:
Just for the record..I ended up buying the ST warranty off Amazon for $100 after a coupon code & $50 deductible instead of $99, that was after reading some reviews about how the phone display broke with some people...not many but enough to make me buy the warranty...am not lucky with electronics & probably it will happen with me as well...just saying!

Of course.

What Slacker101 said. Yup
[HTC Rezound] joeyrey:
I get a permission denied when i type '/android/fastboot oem get_identifier_token'.. any way around that? Also, i enabled myself at root user and admin.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Did you check the permissions on the file? Hopefully you can read/write/execute them. I don't see any mention of needing to be root so I'd assume you're safe without su'ing.
[HTC Rezound] xjedi:
Since you're on a shared computer, just login as the main administrator member. If you had to enter a password when you dropped in the Android SDK into the root of your drive your specific login will probably have permission problems. Not a big deal, just annoying.

Or you can drop the android folder onto your Desktop and cd into that. Then you would just modify it to /Users/<yourusername>/Desktop/android/fastboot oem get_identifier_token for example. But you may not have to if you've already cd into the folder anyway.
[HTC Rezound] lloydcabraham:
When I follow your steps, I get the following message:

cannot load unlock_code.bin

Please help me :(
[HTC Rezound] xjedi:
What step are you on?

edit: I'm guessing you're on step 7. Did you download the unlock file you received via email from htc dev directly to where the fastboot directly is in, i.e., /android/ or to a different place?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Are you currently in the same directory as unlock_code.bin when you run the fastboot command?
[HTC Rezound] lloydcabraham:
Yes, I'm on step 7. All other steps worked perfectly.

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

I copied the file from HTC's email and placed it in the Android folder which is in the root of my hard drive. The fastboot command I'm using is located there also.

FYI. I did downloaded the android sdk manager app since I didn't have a platforms-Tools folder. Now there's 2 fastboot files. One located in the root of the android folder and one located in the Platform-Tools folder where the adb command is.
[HTC Rezound] xjedi:
when you typed in the command was it unlock_code.bin or Unlock_code.bin (capital 'U')? I'm not sure but it may be case sensitive (whatever is the exact case name for the unlock file). Try it out anyway.
[HTC Rezound] lloydcabraham:
I cut and paste the command directly from step 7. HTC's attached Unlock_code.bin is capitalized as is the copied command from step 7.

Guys, Thanks for your help. Had to get a new code. Works perfect now!! :)

You guys are great.

Now it say's sending unlock token... Now writing unlock token. How long should take? Phone hasn't rebooted or anything.

Stuck on writing unlock token. What should I do?
[HTC Rezound] xjedi:
Ride it out for a little while. It should reboot and come up with the unlock screen on your phone.
[HTC Rezound] lloydcabraham:
Thanks xjedi. How long would you say I should wait before I know somethings wrong? If it's stuck, can I unplug my phone and redo while stuck at "writing unlock token"?
[HTC Rezound] xjedi:
I'm always hesitant to disconnect when Terminal says its writing to. Always afraid of getting a Pretty Phone Brick. LOL If it isn't responsive then what can you do.

That being said I'd wait ten minutes. Quit Terminal then technically you'd just have to do that last command. I'd disconnect the phone for a few seconds then reconnect though. Open up Terminal and try again.
[HTC Rezound] lloydcabraham:
Yeah, I know what you mean. I rebooted then went back to the bootloader. As soon as I plugged the phone back in, it finished unlocking successfully. Thanks guys.
[HTC Rezound] mactechnm:
Trying to unlock bootloader on my Rezound. NO LUCK AT ALL. Tried it on a Vista PC, and also on a Mac OS X Lion computer, both have android sdk, fastboot (fastboot-mac), and any time the terminal creates a token, htcdev.com says it is invalid. HTC has been of my help. Token I get is:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justinjbaron:
Hi Folks,

Was running ZYGOT3 2.0 and Franco #6 for last week or so, with no major issues.

Had a freeze-up after a phone call this morning, figured that maybe I was undervolting too aggressively, and didn't think much of it. Pulled battery, replaced battery, restarted phone, phone hung at Google logo.

Pulled battery again, rebooted to bootloader, entered CWM recovery no problem. Figured I'd reflash the kernel if my phone wasn't booting past the Google logo due to the undervolt settings. When I went to choose zip from SDCARD - the screen went black other than the CWM version and logo, and my folder list never appeared at the top of the screen.

Pulled battery, tried again, same result.

Pulled battery, this time went to advanced menu - wiped dalvik cache no problem.

went back to main screen to try to wipe cache again...and it hung again. Got distracted, came back to phone like 5 minutes later, and CWM had finally responded and was showing me the option to wipe cache.

So I was able to reflash Franco #6 and boot the phone back up. Then I just downloaded Franco #7 kernel - rebooted to CWM Recovery to install - and noticed that the CWM is again very sluggish. It seems that I need to wait anywhere from 30 seconds to over a minute before it responds to even a simple command, such as to show me the list of files & folders.

Any ideas folks?

Thanks!

Justin
