My sister gave me a HTC Desire 530 that use's the T-Mobile network. It has never been unlocked or rooted. I've spent the last 2 hours trying to figure everything out and I haven't been able to do so. Here's my setup and answers to possible questions pertaining my issue:
OS Im operating from: Linux Mint 19 Tara
Location of ADB/Fastboot - /Home/Android/Sdk/platform-tools
https://imgur.com/a/AHPcQf4 <~~~~ Link showing that fastboot devices does show my device
I tried following two or three of the threads I've found around here to unlock the bootloader, root the device, etc. Currently my phone says in HTC download mode:
*** Locked ***
htc_a16ul PVT S-ON
LK-1.0.0.0000
Radio_ xxxxxxxxxx (doesn't actually say xxxxxx)
you know the rest....I know the device isn't unlocked
I've enabled debug mode and checked the oem unlock box too... All of the pre-req's are complete. I just must be missing a key factor in this entire process...
I also tried to unlock the bootloader going through HTCDev.com, however in Terminal (before the start of identifier token) it says: (bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/fry
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0x01, enable unlock
I've tried the command fastboot oem get_identifier_token on enabling oem unlock through debug and disabling oem unlock through debug. Going through HTCdev.com gives me an error too.
I believe if i can unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, use Sunshine to switch from S-ON to S-OFF then I can switch this use to be T-Mobile device to Cricket Wireless. I can be reached at [email protected], through XDA, through Discord @ [email protected]

Hi,
I have the following system configuration:
ACE PVT ship S-ON RL
HBOT-2.00.0027
RADIO -26.14.04.28_M
Android ver: 2.3.5
HTC Sense:3.0
SW ver: 3.13.161.3
carrier: Vodafone ES (Spain)
and I would like to root my terminal. I read that, first of all, I have to put in S-OFF mode and the only way to achieve it is using HTCDEV.com bootloader unlock
So, I followed the steps (without updating RUU as I saw I have the last SW version in RUU list) but when i'm going to generate the token, with
"fastboot oem get_identifier_token" it shows "(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !". ( I think the bootloader 2.00.0027 doesn't recognize option "get_identifier")
Should I download the "PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe" from HTC Europe Carrier?
Has anybody tried to install this RUU with same configuration as mine?
Second question. If this RUU works, it performs a factory reset , isn't it? Are there any other alternatives in order not to wipe data?
And Third and last question. Which are the next steps I have to take to root my terminal?
Thx in advance.
You can unlock bootloader with Advanced Ace Hack Kit. First you need it's downgrade, then you will have have HBOOT 0.85 and then it's easy way to get S-OFF. All things will be done automatically by this application
Not new to the scene here, just getting back into it. My M9 is giving me trouble; I've been through all the threads Google knows about in English and other languages.
** This is a "One M9 Unlocked" GSM phone; not developer version or carrier-specific **
[KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X01, enable unlock - I enabled the bootloader unlock option in developer settings.
Using Download mode, as this is the new correct way. fastboot devices works and get_identifier_token works.
I tried several unlock codes from HTCDev.
Tried rebooting and all combinations of rebooting + getting new code.
Tried HTCDev fastboot.exe and android platform tools fastboot.exe.
Tried cmd and powershell.
Tried different folder locations (desktop and C:\Android)
Note that every time I get_identifier_token, the token is different. I don't remember if that's normal.
I've used HTCDev to unlock many devices, never had problems.
Output of every attempt to flash unlocktoken:
Code:
C:\Android>fastboot.exe flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.016s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) flash unlocktoken
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X01, enable unlock
FAILED (remote: UnlockToken Verify Fail!!)
finished. total time: 0.035s
What am I screwing up here?

I am confused. Why are you trying to unlock a phone that is already unlocked?
Thanks for your question: It is the factory carrier unlocked version. It works with any GSM card without needing a carrier unlock code - however, the bootloader is still locked. Whereas it's nice to not be tied to a carrier, I'd also like to get involved with cyanogenmod again.
For whomever else finds themselves in this situation: Good luck, I have no idea what happened.
I tried and retried this process several times. Finally gave up in exasperation and tried later on a different machine because that makes no sense but why not... Here's my winning magic combination (that I already tried, but on a different machine)
Front panel USB port.
Complete HTCDev unlock procedure with caveats:
I used the Google Bootloader Interface driver; HTCSync has never been on this machine.
I used the Google platform tools fastboot application.
Everything else exactly as HTCDev prescribes.
Do this on two totally different machines; it might help to be exasperated the second time. Did literally nothing different... on to the roms now.
Hello,
I apologize if I won't be very precise, but I don't know the history of this phone. It's a friend of mine's phone.
i can boot it just in download mode or bootloader. It stucks on the boot animation.
The information, from download mode, is:
Code:
***LOCKED***
htc_himauhl PVT S-ON
LK-1.0.0.0000
RADIO-01.01_U114401011_117.00.611176_2
OpenDSP-20.7.3.00535.8994_1012
OS-4.14.401.7

I've tried
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
but I got this error:
Code:
...
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] oem unlock Turn Off!
OKAY [ 0.073s]
finished. total time: 0.073s
because I think the debug mode isn't enabled.
I would want to be able to flash any new firmware, without, if it's possible, flash any Custom ROM.
Is there a way to fix it?
Thank you in advance.
The clue is in the error. Oem unlock isn't enabled. It must be enabled from the os under "settings/developer options/oem unlocking"
It needs to be enabled if you have unlocked or intend to unlock the bootloader.

Thank you.
So, there's no way to set "oem unlock" without accessing the os?

Correct. But you can try to fix the phone by flashing a RUU. Instructions and downloads are located in the ReadMe thread.
Locked bootloader

I can only enter bootloader mode or download mode
Cannot enter OS
Cannot enter recovery
cannot enter fastboot oem rebootRUU = bootloops
Cannot obtain fastboot oem get_identifier_token due to not able to access OS to turn appropriate setting on
As i understand the only way to recover is
1)with RUU matching 0PJA10000/ORANG001 [/B] EE/ORANGE 3.35.61.14 or above RUU file as I could then fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
PROBLEM: Cannot find 0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_M60_SENSE70_MR_Orange_UK_3.35.61.14_Radio_01.01_U11440792_95.00.51130G_F_release.zip
found on something called gem-firmware but no idea about this site safety
2)S-OFF / unlock bootloader (at local phone shop)
PROBLEM is this even possible with phone state by local phone shops (xtc2clip etc) as I am pretty sure I cannot do it from PC in current phone state
3)Moan to EE/ORANGE UK to say sort this out after all it was caused by an EE upgrade to 6.0.1
Can any one please help me with 1) or 2)
1. Check HTC RUU Flashing Service. They might have the proper RUU.
2. xtc2clip s-offed and BL unlock device in download mode so it's possible.
If you can boot into download mode, I'm sure that you can still unlock the bootloader with the proper key/unlock_code.bin, and then see if you can flash TWRP. Then restore a stock backup which you'll find in Flippy's ReadMe thread.
Thank you for your responses.
I can enter download mode but it's weird, sometimes I have to reboot bootloader then I can enter download mode otherwise I can't.
I do not have the unlock.bin
And I can not get token due to OS setting of unlocking bootloader not allowing.
This leads me to believe that unfortunately I can not solve it alone though i want to try getting

or find 4.19.61.1 hboot as i have RUU but need hboot for it.... 0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_N70_SENSE80_MR_Orange_UK_4.19.61.1_Radio_01.01_U114401031_122.01.61213G_F_release_492070_signed_Hboot_2_4.zip
I have

obviously if i can do it my self i will try...but it looks like I may need to xtc2clip at local phoneshop as my only option IF they can s-off in my curent state
Thank you all again, it is so much appreciated

Does this mean that you have no OS installed? (somehow managed to wipe /system with a locked bootloader)

I've never unlocked bootloader on this phone
It happened after upgrading phone I tried to wipe phone to default setting..to be honest all probably my fault..I'm not denying.
It just never boots system, and boots to bootloader instead and can get into download fastboot..I guess
It's some incomplete upgrade that means mismatch so can't even use ruu.. fastboot oem rebootRUU
Just loops then back to bootloader
all guess I know
Hi all, I have a Tmobile HTC10 arrived from the U.S. with sim lock.
I want to use it with Italian carrier but the software does not recognize any sim or network, so I hoped to put lineageOS.... BUT
I tried to unlock the bootloader (yes, I tap OEM unlocking on the developer options) and when I get the classic command "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" I receive the response
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X01, enable unlock
FAILED (remote: UnlockToken Verify Fail!!)
I also get the same issue with the xtc2tool, that says I can do S-Off only after a bootloader unlock.
Anyone has an idea to solve it?
