- and HTC Explorer isn’t listed as working
device there but it has been tested and works perfectly. So, choose “all other supported models” when selected device

-You must accept the legal terms here, basically its saying that:
-HTC and your carrier are NOT responsible for your actions
-You are voiding your warranty
-If you screw up, look to the community for help, not us, or we will charge you full price for a new phone
Now we can finally get started! You can follow the instructions on the website, or you can follow them here. They are the same. I am simply re-posting for reference and ease of access (and making my own tweaks to better understand).
Danger! Dragons lay ahead! This will factory reset your phone! Thus loosing everything! (It did for me at least)
Prereqs:
1. You followed above and have created and HTC Dev account
2. You have the Android SDK installed
3. Your Rezound is in fastboot mode, connected via USB to your computer
4. Your Rezound has a fully charged battery
5. The HTC Dev site instruction page open, following along, as you will need to interact with the site when it comes time, note, my instructions may be a bit different our out of order, I assure you, they are the same.
NEXT FOLLOW THE HTC WEBSITE STEPS
(this is on the website)
After you've pulled the battery and placed it back in, hold VolumeDown and Power button to restart. At white screen, select Fastboot with volume rocker and hit the power button. Connect cable from phone to your Linux computer
Open a new Terminal window type c:\>cd android then press enter and type in
Code:chmod +x fastboot
Code:fastboot devices
Code:fastboot oem get_identifier_token
You will get a big block of numbers and letter. This is what you need. Following along with the HTC Dev site as well, keep going through the steps until you get to this part and to the part where is asks for this block.
IMPORTANT! You need everything including the text that reads: <<<< Identifier Token Start >>>> and <<<<< Identifier Token End >>>>>.
(Leave the command prompt window open, you will need this still)
Paste this info into the submit field and click on submit!
If it goes through you'll get a Congratulations webpage and your unlock file will be sent to your registered email.
Download the Unlock_code.bin file into the c:\>cd android
Type Code:
C:\android>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
A very beautiful screen shall pop up on the phone, asking you to unlock! Use volume button to scroll, power button to select.
I hope that selected "Yes?" Right? I hope so!
I hope that selected "Yes?" Right? I hope so!
