[Q] Bootloader unlock - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
I just got my HTC one m9 today and the first thing I wanted to do, is to unlock bootloader for further recovery/root/ROM action.
So I tried like with other devices done before 'fastboot oem get_identifier_token' to get the token, fill it in at htcdev.com and wait for the unlock token.
But this new devices gives me an "FAILED (remote: unknown command)" error.
Is there any new way to unlock?!?

You need do be booted into download mode webdepp, looks a little like a stock recovery screen

root/boot loader help

hey everyone i just got a htc one x yesterday from Telus Mobility since my htc evo 3d has been acting up, i'm trying to root it and tried few different options like one click root, all in one root and so on. and now i'm down to trying to get the token code but when i submit it to htcdev this is the message i always get
"Unlocking Bootloader Failed!
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"
now when is cmd prompt when i execute command "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" it only shows the Bootloader token and on htcdev it shows I should have Bootloader and a Info window with token information am I doing something wrong?
not sure if this helps but I can't get into bootloader manually i have to use a program on my laptop to get into itwould like to unlock that and s off also
hang on i finally got it to submit!
ok well now i'm stuck at the sending unlocktoken

I am trying to fix the same issues with Verizon Wireless as well as I have tried the methods that are on here and still having issues
Please tell us what OS are you using, fastboot version.
Have you tried "fastboot devices" prior to launch the final unlock command? Maybe your PC to Phone connection was not ready, or you were in the Bootloader (you have to choose FASTBOOT from the Phone bootloader).
Another good thing to do would be to make sure that, within your Phone's Android, you have disabled the Fast Boot option. Phone-> Settings -> Power -> Fast Boot -> Unchecked

remote: oem unlock is not allowed

Hi,
I am using my Nextbit Robin Oem Unlock from last 1 year but today i decided to go back to stock with locked Oem.
I flashed the stock rom and locked the Oem at the same time but when i restarted the phone it got stuck at the boot.
So I went ahead with the 'fastboot oem unlock' command, and here's the problem. All flashing command returns FAILED <remote: device is locked...>.
fastboot oem device-info reads: Device tampered: false, Device unlocked: false. So bootloader is locked. At this point I assume that the bootloader is unlocked, but revert back to locked after reboot (the phone automatically rebooted after executing oem unlock command, so can't get around that).
Tried numerous other methods, using different adb files, no dice. Can't even flash TWRP. Tried adb sideload, same. Tried executing fastboot oem unlock with various different parameter, still locked after reboot. I cannot flash anything into locked bootloader.
Google researched it for few hours, same problem happened to other phones from other manufacturers that came returned from warranty replacement with modified motherboard; OR tampered/broken eMMC/NAND flash. But no such case for Nextbit Robin (yet?).
Pretty hopeless right now since I just found out that Nextbit Robin support ended on Aug 1st.
Guess I'm stuck with locked bootloader and no cell signal phone. Unless someone can help. One can always hope.
Anyway, thanks for reading.

If you bootloader is unlocked I think you can give a try to the Nextbit's Unbrick Tool
As you want to go back to stock , I think this is a good idea.
Now if your bootloader isn't unlocked there is unfortunately nothing I can do for you , unless you unlock it .
Edit #1: If your bootloader is locked , go to bootloader mode by pressing volume down + power button for about 20 seconds and try to see the bootloader state with fastboot commands. If it is unlocked , follow the process in the @nextbitKhang's thread .
Yes that's the main issue. Oem is Locked.
Is there any Oem unlock code i can use to unlock from ADB?
I don't think so ,I'm not sure, but I hope you'll find one.
On your Robin go to settings > system > about phone > tap build number until it shows developer options.
Go into developer options which is in settings > system > developer options.
Make sure OEM unlocking is enabled. (for good measure disable then re-enable)
Also make sure usb debugging is enabled. Have the Robin plugged into a computer so you can enable to pop-up on Robin asking for access for the computer.
Once they are both enabled shut down your phone. Turn it back on while pressing vol down+power and plugged into your computer.
In adb run command fastboot oem unlock
please i'm experiencing the same issue not on nextbit but on GIonee.
i have re-activate both OEM unlocking and USB debugging several times but it all void
same error: Remote: OEM unlock is not allowed
please kindly help

Boot into RUU if you're unable to get bootloader unlock token in bootloader mode

So... I have been stuck with a HTC One E9+ for many months with a lock screen that I literally can't unlock, and flashed TWRP but can't be used because of locked bootloader, I had finally discovered a way to get the unlock token. Here's a little bit of story. I tried to run 'fastboot oem get_identifier_token' in bootloader mode, but the phone returned unknown command. I had tried that when everything was normal. I had check the settings in developer options, and there is nothing related to unlocking bootloader inside there. Until recently, I had discovered 'fastboot oem rebootRUU' from other blog post.
All in all, if you couldn't get the bootloader unlock token in bootloader mode, try to get it in RUU mode.
Good luck!
Hi, i tried to run the command "fastboot oem rebootRUU" but no code appeared.

Can't Unlock Boot loader [Error: FAILED (remote : Not implemet.) - BLU G5

I've been trying to unlock a Blu G5 - I've gotten as far as patching the disk image and all that is left to do is just flash the image onto the phone.
The issue is whenever I try to flash something onto the phone I get the following error :
Code:
FAILED (remote: Flashing Lock Flag is locked. Please unlock it first!)
.
When I go to unlock through Flashing unlock I get the error in the title - OEM unlock gives me cmd not found.
I have USB debugging and OEM unlocking both enabled inside the app settings. I'm not sure if its pertinent but on Magisk I see "Ramdisk : No". I've also been unable to get into recovery mode despite trying every combination possible except for once on accident (which I haven't been able to replicate).
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!
