Sounds like one of the side-effects of cloning the machine that had
requested a key.

All I can say is that this XO has been lying around for a couple of
years. I'm not really sure what happened, but at least I know to trust
the collection key method over the others. I have another 20+ XO-1s to
unlock as well, so that's the best way for me.

It would be interesting to investigate how /home/.devkey.html got onto
the machine -- ie, what build you used, and how you installed it onto
the device -- in order to prevent this problem from recurring.

yup.

My guess is that file /home/.devkey.html was copied in from some other
system, and shows the serial number and UUID of the copied-from system.

And there is a mis-match between the bottom cover and the motherboard.
Since the boot process does NOT look at the label in the battery
compartment, the number there does not affect what happens at boot.

I myself would trust the collection key values.

p.s.  When you get file develop.sig (1260 bytes), take a look at the
serial number therein (1st record, 2nd token).  It should match the
serial number printed out by OFW when you boot with the check-button
pressed -- if they don't match, that develop.sig will not be recognized.
