I just tried getting the unlock code from HTC Dev, followed the token identifier directions, I submitted the sequence of code and I received this message from HTC:

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.

I need to get rid of the Crap "Boost Zone" and other useless apps. This morning the Boost Zone updated itself for the 4th time, deleted my wallpaper, Icons, screens, etc..... SICK OF THIS.
Auto Updates is NOT set on my phone, Boost Zone apparantly does whatever the hell it wants

Sounds like you copied and pasted the code incorrectly and or chose the wrong device. I chose all other supported devices.
