UPDATE: I was on XDA Portal! http://www.xda-developers.com/android/bypass-htc-server-problems-when-unlocking-bootloader/

Hey guys,

So basically I spent two hours checking trying to unlock my HTC One X's bootloader a few days back.

I mean seriously? Two hours to unlock my bootloader? That's utter bull. HTCdev has the worst bootloader unlock servers ever, mostly because server keeps overloading.

I found several fixes if you have this error when you open the website on Google Chrome, but these aren't really fixes that fix the server, these are temporary bypasses if you want to get your bootloader unlocked immediately.

You would want to follow this if you constantly get these errors by using Google Chrome:

1. "The connection to htcdev.com was interrupted."

2. "This webpage is not available"

3. After logging in to the website, you select "All Other Supported Models" and press Begin Unlock, no popup window comes up asking you to verify ToS and verifying that you will void warranty.

4. *without logging into HTCdev* You click Begin Unlock and you get a popup to login, after login you get an error "This webpage is not available"

To bypass most of these problems, follow these steps before proceeding:

1. Login to the website and make sure you get to the page where you can see "Welcome XXXXXXXXX Logout Account" on top of the window.

2. *OPTIONAL TO TEST* Try selecting All Other Supported Models from the dropdown box and click Begin Bootloader Unlock, if this fails and does not show a popup after 2-3 minutes, refresh and do the same except click the button two more times. If this fails, proceed onwards to step 3.

3. Make sure you have Fastboot, HTC Sync and Java installed on your computer.

4. Put your phone in Fastboot mode, do this command in the fastboot cmd to get your code: fastboot oem get_identifier_token

Right Click > Mark > highlight the block of text > Right click to copy to the code

5. Make sure you are logged in, then proceed to this site: http://htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions, when navigating through the pages, you get the above Chrome errors, just do one or two refreshes until you see something on your screen and not a Google Chrome error. Navigate to Step 10, http://htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-3

6. Paste in the code and immediately click Submit, if you get a Google Chrome error, go back and Submit again. Repeat until you see the HTC success screen when you unlock your bootloader, telling you to check your email. If you get an error about your code, recopy your code and paste into the box.

7. Check your email, download the Unlock.bin into your Fastboot folder and open your Fastboot cmd prompt, run this command to unlock your phone: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

8. Follow on-screen instructions to unlock your bootloader.

9. Flash CWM recovery by Koush: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1594819

Use this command to flash the recovery onto your phone: fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

For example: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img.img

10. Smile, you unlocked your phone's bootloader :)
[HTC One X] HebeGuess:
Huh~ the problems you faced simply cause by the high serverload on HTCDev. Perhaps caused by those who are waiting for Desire and Rhyme RUUs..

"HTCdev has the worst bootloader unlock servers ever." -- can't give any comments on this because there no others available.

Need to clarify HTC is the first to offer official bootloader unlock though not s-off. Currently already made it to available for all their android devices, hardworks. Who you are comparing it with? Motorola's single device unlock site?

and why you need java for bootloader unlocking process.

the unlocked process is already done on step 8 actually.
[HTC One X] nicholaschum:
Please read the title. Obviously it is high server load or just crappy server upload speeds. I have waited weeks and weeks for it to load fast, if you try to go on HTCdev again right now, it is extremely slow and would constantly hang.

Think about it logically, HTC is such a big company, and plus we shouldn't have extremely high network ping since the HQ is just an hour flight away from where I live. It's not hardwork if people want to unlock their bootloaders and they purposely lock it down, they're just pissing people off, intentionally wanting to record down who voided their warranty. Look at all the Samsung users, their phones come with a pre-unlocked bootloader and they're doing much better than HTC.

They are in fact the first to do this kind of unlock, no other company is doing it the same way, which means it is the worst way to do it.

If you can be bothered, please take a look at HTCdev's twitter page. There are loads of people complaining about their bootloader unlock page, and HTCdev claiming that they fixed it, but its an ongoing problem and I have never ever had such a hassle when trying to root your phone.

Anyways this is a technique I would follow if you have the problems stated above, just wanting to help people, not start flames.
[HTC One X] HebeGuess:
Actually i was on the site regulary basis recents day for Desire S's RUU..

But bid samsung shipped with pre-unlocked bootloader? No, please dont includes nexus flagship devices and the funny verizon GS3 dev edition that wanting people to paid more..

And I have no intents to pouring flames on this..
[HTC One X] nicholaschum:
We're on the International variant of the HTC One X forum here, and the major population here are from everywhere around the world, not just US.

Samsung releases pre-unlocked versions of their International devices, I never said anything about US carrier released ones.

Nexus flagship devices are controlled by Google, if Google says lock the bootloader, they listen, but if its a Samsung Galaxy S series device, Google can't force them to lock the Galaxy line's bootloader.
[HTC One X] AndroidAutobot:
oh thank god!!! finally! =) Thank you thank you thank you!!! =) I'd been wrestling with their servers off and on for about FOUR hours lol. This totally worked
[HTC One X] haroujf:
Hi,

A better approach will be this way:

1. with your "My Device Identifier Token" ready (have it in a notepad)

2. use google chrome and launch 5 tabs

3. navigate all to http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-3

4. login to each of the 5 tabs

5.scroll all the way down to the part to input your token for all 5 tabs

6. copy your token from the notepad stated earlier.

7. paste and submit into all 5 tabs by using the short cut Ctrl+Tab

8. At least one will be submitted and you will received an email even though all the page shows you login error.

[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
+1

The guide shown here (OP) is useless, this is what everybody does anyway.

You've just made a massive guide, basically saying just keep refreshing and you'll pass through soon enough.

Using the method you described, it could still take hours...
[HTC One X] longbowz:
Thank you so much nicolaschum! Your introduction works perfect and I've just unclocked my father's HTC VT328t. It is contract model of a carrier China Mobile, with lot of useless carrier apps and worst part is all google apps and frameworks are removed.

I've been stuck in HTC legal term page for near two hours and unable to get into Unlock Instructions page (step 1 - 4) and was about to give it up. Fortunately I found this thread and with your instruction I've bypassed them and got final Token submitted successful message in only 4 tries within 5 minutes. Now I can get google apps installed on his mobile :laugh:
[HTC One X] Jak3Mac:
Thanks!

Thanks for this :)

Re: [FIX] Unlocking Bootloader when HTCdev site is crashing/semi-down [SERVER OVERLOA

Everyone, I had to use a browser other than Chrome. Safari had much more success, even better than IE. Still took a couple of reloads o finish.
[HTC One X] yusmiza:
2 day trying.....htc sucks
[HTC One X] yusmiza:
3 day trying...same..sometimes its past till last but at the end ..error 173...
[HTC One X] nicholaschum:
Yes if everyone does this then why would anyone have any errors? I have done this on more than 15 HTC One X devices, so I'm pretty sure my guide is useful for me at least. I could even say it's failproof if done correctly.

I even tried his guide you +1'd, but all my tabs did not load, however that is just a smaller condensed method of what I did, that method would still work and is identical to the process of my guide, as it still loads multiple pages anyways, but you can't say a Samsung Galaxy S II is useless compared to the Samsung Galaxy S III because the S II has outdated or a different architecture compared to the S III. Without an S II invented you won't get an S III, so without a guide like this, there would still be people running around yelling how HTC servers should be fixed and never actually getting a fix, and there would not be a compressed version of this guide.

day 3 for me..ihve had multiple tabs open, no dice
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Overstew:
I've got the $7.49/month (I think) radioshack insurance on my device. My device is acting up and I'm thinking I'm going to get a new one. It's a $100 deductible (not that bad) but does anyone here know of the process you go through? Am I going to be without a device for 2+ weeks? Will I get a new phone or a refurb? I just got back from work and their help desk is offline so I thought I'd ask my fellow XDA'ers, who might have RS insurance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bl8zeone360:
ypu will be without a device for about 3 buisness day. first off they will try to repair your handset, if thats not possible they will either send you a new device if they are in stock or a gift card for the total retail price of the handset.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
What's it doing? That may affect how you approach.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Overstew:
GPS isn't working for me (it's totally dead.) I've tried all of the fixes and returning to stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Overstew:
I've got my old Epic 4G in the drawer, I may have to bring this bad boy back out for now. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VikingoRMCF:
It's repair only, unless you break it then it's replaced with the deductible

* 101% Madridista × RMCF *
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Overstew:
If it's repaired is there a deductible? Sorry, the way you worded it sounds like that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VikingoRMCF:
Sorry, repairs don't cost you a dime.

There are two service plans, both cover repairs, one covers accidental damage w/ a deductible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Shoulon:
You pay a deductable. $100. If they deem it unfixable or too many broken things they will replace it. However for me it took a whole week. Best thing however is j can give it to a radio shack store and they will send it out for you. Secondly. U can get store credit equal to ur phone value later down the line. Like say the Galaxy S IV comes out if j vet where I'm going with this :)

Sent from a Galaxy SIII presented by Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragon_rckr:
So, in summary...is it a good choice to take this program over Asurion? Asurion deductible is $150 vs $100 from Radioshack and $10 monthly fee vs $7.49.

I think I have a window still to apply the radioshack insurance, but wasn't sure if it was a good deal or not :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Overstew:
Well, just an update. They still have my phone as of Aug 30th or so. I talked with them via online chat last night and they mentioned that they can't repair it and they're going to send me a "comparable spec'd" device. I'm a little scared they're going to send me an Evo. I've sent them an email with a request for the sph-l710. Hopefully they're cool about it and will send me a new GSIII or a check for retail price of it.

Otherwise I'll be quite upset.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 18th.abn:
Radio shack won't cover lost or stolen tho. Have to have the device to claim....only fallback really
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VikingoRMCF:
Hopefully they'll send an S3, an EVO would piss me the fu¢k off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] air2k57:
If you got it less than a month ago, get sprint insurance. $11 a month, deductible $159 ONLY if it is lost or stolen, liquid, or physical. GPS issues, they'll replace it for free.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DarkManX4lf:
Yeah this is why I have Sprint TEP. More expensive yes but they replace for free if you have issues with gps and other stuff. Obviously if the device is physically damaged they will tell you to go to asurion.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Overstew:
Yeah, but I got the device on July 1st. Also, Assuraunt (Radioshack's 3rd party insurance), shipped the phone and it is to arrive at my house today by 4:30pm. I have work at 4:00 so it's going to be a long day. lol

I'll let you guys know if it's an SIII or Evo. :'-(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Overstew:
It's a brand new SIII. :D Complete with a new battery, too. Awesome. :p

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jebise101:
ever since i got the Bell S3 i have always had this problem. Phone is fine but sometime the screen will turn on randomly and will be frozen for a couple of minutes. Its rare that it happens and its quite random but it looks like touchwiz crashes and it needs a minute or so to bring it back, the phone itself does not restart it like its just touchwiz.

The screen become totally unresponsive when this happens and i can't seem to figure out what could be causing it, don't have Any weird startup apps running, i have seen it happen with just the music player open.

The other thing is CWM I have been using Team Epic's recovery for a while now and been trying to upgrade to official CWM but ROM Manager does not see my device since its the M series and was able to flash via Odin but ROM manager still prompts that it needs a official CWM recovery.

Also any fix on the date stamp, minor issue and was the reason i held off upgrading to official CWM this long.

I am having a serious Wi-Fi issue with my sensation 4G.

When i turn on Wi-Fi, it shows a list of available networks for about 5 seconds and then all available networks go away and it doesn't show anything! even if i choose to scan it still wont find anything (even though there are networks and it found them for five seconds).

I have tried with and without sim card, and with different radios but still having the same problem! I have sensation 4G (tmobile) and i am running ICS TMO ROM (rooted).

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Or is anyone else having the same problem?
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
Apparently there is a Wi-Fi fix for this problem.

But it seems that some of the ROMs have this problem solved already. Does anyone know which firmware or what OTAs have solved this problem?!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawyeradam:
Hi all,

I just got my i9300 two days ago and LOVE it! Yesterday i rooted via OLIN successfully and restored my apps from my old Evo using Titanium. Today I was prompted for an OTA update and didn't think anything of it so I let it update. Now, it seems, I can't run root aps like Titanium. I downloaded Root Checker and it shows no root access. I rebooted into recovery and I do get the recovery menu (clockwork???) menu on the phone.

What should I do?

thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dilema:
re-apply root using ODIN, OTA will remove root
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawyeradam:
Well, I tried and got succeed /0 failed /0.

I don't think the phone is in download mode? I have a blue menu and choices are: reboot system, apply update from cache, apply update from external memory, wipe cache, wipe data.

ideas?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Wipe cache wipe data root phone.

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawyeradam:
Wiped Cache and wiped data but when when I connect phone to computer with phone in recovery mode it does not update / re-run the CF-Root program via Olin.

Do I need to copy the CF-Root to the SD card and run directly through the phone? Do I need to pick a particular choice from the phone's recovery menu? Since the phone was rooted when I reboot into recovery it does not go into "download" mode like it did pre root.

Thanks for any help! I see lots of people have read this thread so I'm thinking there are either lots of others that have either had this happened or are looking towards the future so to fix or prevent w/ their OTA update.

Thanks!

I just got new Flintie rotating case with newspaper design today and i should say i'm quite impressed.

i bought it from here, it was at 8$ price but they raise it a bit now. Price-wise it's about the same as moko slim cover.

Now to compare with Moko Slim case (as that is the only other case that i have)

Pros :

- really nice looking with many choices

- the material feels much better than moko's, be it the inner part or the outer part.

- rotating for portrait view.

cons

- there is no handstrap to secure held the tablet when you are using it on the move or when you lie down on your bed while reading the tablet up in the air ( i guess moko or other case that have it kinda spoil me)

- more bulk than moko slim case (duh....)

- the strap to keep the cover closed is kinda too big so when i use it to keep it opened, it blocked a bit of the screen and the headphone jack.

but yea, this is one good looking of a case, i would rate it 7/10 because it is less convenient to hold compared to moko slim case.

picture will follow as i'm uploading them
