How to Unlock the Boot Loader in HTC ONE M9
There are certain users who buy their handset and wish to use it instantly; well HTC ONE M9 is there for instant use. You can start rooting, flashing custom roms, Xposed modules, tweaks – you know all that good stuff! However there are some pre requirements before jumping in to this process.
You need to have a computer for this boot loading process, it is same on Mac and Linux but software is different. Please keep it is mind if you start this process of boot loading you will lose the warranty forever and HTC customer service will give you no response. The bootloading procedure also removes all the data from the handset so users need to backup their data before starting the process but don’t generate the data backup in the smartphone because everything gets erased and ensure 50% battery life is there to complete the process without interruption. Now follow the stated below steps.
Download and install the latest HTC Sync Manager app on your computer. This will install the latest HTC drivers.
Download and install Minimal ADB & ‘FASTBOOT’. Remember the folder in which the files went to open it immediately after download.
Create an account on HTC’s Developers website and then, log in, click ‘Unlock Bootloader’, and click ‘Get started’.
After this removed the One M9 from your PC, power it off, and wait 10 seconds. Now, hold the Volume Down + Power keys until you see the message LOCKED on display. Press the Volume Down key to highlight ‘FASTBOOT’, and press the power button to select it. Now, connect the M9 to your PC. The text on the screen should change to ‘FASTBOOT USB’ to indicate USB drivers are properly installed and ready to proceed.
Go to the folder where you installed minimal adb and fastboot. Hold the ‘Shift’ button and right-click on an empty space in the folder. Select ‘Open command window here’ and a command prompt window will spring open! In there, type or paste ‘ fastboot oem get_identifier_token ‘ without the quotes. The command prompt will output a lo-o-o-ng string of random mumbo jumbo sentences sandwiched between and headers. That’s your token for unlocking! Now, you need to copy the sentences between the headers, then head to the HTC Dev website and paste the token where it says ‘My Device Identifier Token’. It’s on the second page of the website’s wizard. Then click ‘Submit’.
If every thing goes well, HTC will send you an e-mail with an Unlock_code.bin file attached. Download this file to the folder where you installed minimal adb & fastboot. Open a new command window inside the folder with the Shift + Right click trick and paste ‘ fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin ‘ in it.
Your HTC One M9 may ask you to confirm the Bootloader unlock. Say ‘Yes’ with the Volume Up button, and confirm by pressing the Power button. The smartphone will reboot and it should wake up with its bootloader unlocked! However, a double-check is worth it, so reboot your One M9 in bootloader mode once more. If you get the UNLOCKED message on the screen, you are successful! Your next step should be installing a custom recovery so you can flash custom roms & tweaks. If the bootloader isn’t busted, you can try again, looking at not repeating any mistakes you might have had.
