Nope. It is highlighted in pink and says LOCKED.
I see nothing that says "Security Warning" anywhere.
I just flashed this RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225752&highlight=2.11.605.0
and while it was updating in Bootloader it locked it.

I searched for that all over. couldn't find anything like it. Ever tried IRC? There's usually some fairly knowledgeable folks there who might be of help. The network is andirc.net, channel #thunderbolt.
Somebody please save me.....I just don't understand how I can fix it when all the "fixes"require flashing something.... But my bootloader is locked so I cannot flash anything

If anyone comes up with the solution PLEASE post it, I have the same problem. thanks.
WOW! Revolutionary Finally worked on my phone!! Now instead of a Pink **LOCKED** I have a nice pink --REVOLUTIONARY--!! So...I suggest trying REVOLUTIONARY!!
The pink locked is because the newest RUU has an hboot with support for official unlocking through HTC. Not that we will ever see that or need it. Like you said Revolutionary will s-off that hboot no problem. Just thought I would shed some light on the pink "locked" deal.

you may need htc sync and the android sdk installed first. also make sure usb debugging is on under your phone settings.
you didnt read their page,you need the drivers they have listed,unistall anything you already installed,install the drivers from their page and it will see your phone,but if you would have read the instructions you would have known that, never mind you guys never learn even on the post with the ruu it says it will lock your bootloader,so why flash it,oh sorry you would have had to read that also!

Hey everyone, I am unable to unlock my bootloader after accepting this OTA. I just got an EVO 3D yesterday and I updated it as soon as I got it. I first checked to see if it was an HBOOT below 1.5, it wasn't so I went ahead and updated. However when i get to step 12 i believe on the htc dev site, I flash the unlock_code.bin and nothing happens just sits there. I read around and found people saying you need to take the 2.08 RUU, I tried that and when it gets to the black HTC screen I get an error 140. I was so excited to get this phone and already downloaded the rom i wanted before owning it. If someone can please help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks

Same here.
The same RUU I used to revert to the .2sw update to unlock two other evo3d's with hboot 1.5, will not work. Im unbelievably frustrated right now as Ive been sitting at this computer for over three hours. Please, if you find a way to downgrade your software, please let me know. thanks
not sure why you wanted to be on hboot 1.50. but shouldnt be a problem to unlock the bootloader, since it was just minor updates and still on hboot 1.50. id just try doing the process again.
i unlocked mine with unlock_code.bin that i used when i rooted my evo 3d for 1st time.....it worked fine.
Tried 5 times and failed..

I didn't want to be on hboot 1.5, I wanted to be below it. But when I first got my phone I checked the bootloader and was already at 1.5. If it was below that I would've been rooted right now...
to be a bit more clear it was hboot 1.5 with an OTA 2.08 when I first received the phone.

1st Check you bootloader .What it says at the top .(locked/unlocked/relocked) if it says unlocked you do not need unlock_code.bin.
Try these from step 13:

That's the guide I used to HTC Unlock. Video helped. There is a post somewhere about needing to Re-flash the stock RUU.exe or Ruu.zip (renamed to PG86IMG.zip) to get the phone past the "nothing happens" step where you're supposed to get the "unlock" option screen on the phone. I haven't seen the 651.5 released as a complete RUU, but you could probably flash the 651.3 RUU, finish the HTC unlock and then run the 651.5 update. Heck, the unlock would probably work after the update, idk for sure.
I have some links and my issue with this below.

I have some tools and files for you to use that will give you temp root and allow a downgrade to 2.08.651.2 rom, hboot will still be 1.50 though. However from there you should be able to unlock via HTCdev method. I gotta upload the files and write the code which I will post up here in a second. I hope you are ok with using adb and fastboot.
First off, I've gone through thread after thread hoping to find an answer, but simply have not.
I rooted my phone back in July and don't remember which method I used. I need to get my phone back to stock for warranty (I have a dead strip on my screen) and before I thought, I used SU to get back to S-On, but now I can't get back to stock.
I've tried to run various RUU's, more specifically regaw's version among others, but I haven't had any success. Every time I run an RUU it says that my phone is not connected to my computer. I've also downloaded the PJ75IMG and tried that method as well, but nothing happens.

Do you have HTC Sync installed? I know that has been a issue for myself, if so uninstall that, and you will need to run the RUU for the Firmware you have. Also I have downloaded mine from this website. http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Jewel

Got the correct firmware, started the process no problem. Now I've got an Error [155]: Unknown and that's as far as it'll take me. I've tried multiple times, and nothing happens. When the phone is supposed to restart it just sits there as if nothing happened to it at all. The RUU instructed me to restart the phone and do the recovery through the program. Once through, it says that I should now try to start the RUU again. and the same thing happens. Am I missing something here?
When running the RUU, are you getting a 155 Error Code?
Yeah, the Error 155 keeps coming up.

Yep, that's the problem I was having. Once I relocked the bootloader the RUU ran smooth as butter. Took a little while so make sure you have enough battery/have it plugged in.

Hello, quick background, My sisters bf tried to root her phone. He failed. I received it and attempted to fix, here is the thread where I almost succeeded: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38442511
only problem now is when I went to install the RUU my computer reboot and left the phone with the HTC in silver and on the 4 corners,4 triangles with exclamation marks inside. I cant boot back to bootloader, when I try to run the RUU from the terminal it says error cant run RUU. running linux 12.04.
Hmm I could say many things suggestions etc but they would all be untested. Best bet, take it in telling em you where updating the phone via ruu pc rebooted while ruu was being run.

Won't Sprint see that the phone was tampered with? everyonce in a while when I unplug the phone from the comp it shows the bootloader screen with just RUU in orange but at the top it says tampered and relocked.
When it shows the bootloader, as you said, can't you volume button down to select recovery? If your recovery got wiped during the messed up RUU flash, you might really be hosed. Have you tried rerunning RUU from a windows device? Sinister knows a lot about android/Linux, glad he posted, but if he suggests it's hosed, it probably is. That said, it's pretty hard to completely hose it. One of your other partitions may have got borked, in which case I'd check the jewel Evita brick toolkit thread here in a sticky or at one X in a sticky, I forget.
From my Evo LTE, yup.

Can you get into hboot? If so remove your sd add to the root of it an recovery image. That is if you can't hboot<recovery. If that don't work use regamods s-on and his other thing to hide the rl tampered thing in hboot. Provide more details bro. Its hard to guess.

Hey guys I had to send my HTC One back to ATT. So I stupidly tried to get it back to stock, so I first flashed an Odex-ed Stock Rooted Rom, then flashed stock recovery in fastboot, then locked the bootloader and am now trying to run the RUU. And it doesnt seem to be working..what do I do? I just keep booting into the bootloader straight. Im so lost.
So your bootloader is locked, you start the ruu and what happens?
I had a similar issue. For some resason all of my laptops had issues with drivers. If you go in device manager in windows, check to see if you see exclamation mark on my HTC.
I tried different drivers, sync app from HTC and even fresh virtual box environments on MacBook to no avail. It always shows that yellow exclamation when in bootloader.
Anyways, didn't mean to hijack your thread but just trying to see what's in your device manager. Try hansoon HTC one app?

Dudes,
Too many dead pixels dying on my phone and ATT is sending me another replacement device through warranty. I RUU'd and brought everything back to normal from the CID, hboot, radio, and back to s-on but I cannot get my bootloader to show "Locked". It just shows relocked. Im certain I cannot send it back to them saying relocked. Ive searched and maybe im not searching good enough. Care to share some commands?
"fastboot oem lock" only relocks it.
I restored the phone to 3.17 firmware and RUU but before I update it to the 4.3 id like it to show locked. Any help is appreciated.
Edit: Nevermind I found my answer. Read that this was not possible.

For anyone that's searching for this exact issue ill share what i did to get my phone completely back to stock. I did search the forum but the info was all over the place and in my opinion it was as clear as "I" needed it to be hence me creating a thread for something so simple. Ok as follows here is what I did step by step.
First I had to make sure I installed HTC sync of course. At the moment my firmware was 3.57 and I downloaded the 3.17 RUU.exe from HTC.com
Your firmware *HBOOT* and the RUU you download have to match or you will get errors. Well, least I did.
Make sure you download some type of toolkit it would make life a lot easier. I used this one it worked like a charm!
At the moment, my phone is bootloader unlocked and s-off fyi.
Next, Use the tool to "lock" your bootloader first not "re-lock" just "lock". If you're having issues push revone again and follow commands on toolbox.
Now, check hboot to see if it shows "locked" if it has tampered above locked that's ok the RUU will take care of that.
Run, the RUU, make sure usb debugging on and htc sync already installed. Let it run.
After its done, start up phone again, turn off fastboot under "power" and turn usb debugging on again.
Start up toolkit, look to the right and it will say "s-on" device. You can only s-on after you've ran the RUU and are on stock hboot and rom.
Check Hboot again and it should read "Locked" and now "s-on".
Phone now ready to send back for warranty or etc.
Hope this helps anyone that searches. I found a few thread via google and they helped out a bunch.
