So I unrooted my phone and went to the market place to download root checker, said my phone was unrooted. When i load up into bootloader, its not the stock one that came with the phone, it's still says Revolutionary ontop? Is this a problem? trying to bring the phone back in for warranty issue. I used this guide which removed root and put me on stock then i tried the second have and when flashing the PG05IMG_hboot_1.4..... it just said bypassed and made me reboot.

You can't just flash another bootloader over a Revolutionary bootloader. It's been patched specifically to prevent that. You need to do it through fastboot. It's a bit more complicated. I believe I have a link in my Q&A thread that will get you on the right track.

How do I go back to out of the box stock? I flashed the new Ruu the other day, 2.11.605.0, and now my bootloader is locked.
So how do I fix it if I can't flash anything???

You will need to flash the stock RUU. This thread should help you out.

Have not done it yet, although I am wondering if DirtyFingers misunderstood my question.
What got me to this problem was BECAUSE of flashing the latest RUU, from here: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/08/2...ruu-leaked-version-2-11-605-0-of-gingerbread/
Soooo... how do I flash a file to fix it if my Bootloader is locked and I can't flash anything???

Read the whole page and the link to the full documentation. There are some prerequisites to running it. Mainly the HTC fastboot drivers for Windows that they provide on their documentation page. You also might need the Android SDK set up but I'm not sure about that.

you just take the sim card out put in another phone delete your 2.11 or put it in your downloads folder then put the sim card back in your phone and you should be able to get back to recovery. make sure you unmout the card before you take it out.
Had to use my cousin's (windows) computer but it worked.
Really PilotML? What is your bootloader version? I've tried revolutionary to unlock a bunch of times on my Gingerbread 2.3.4 device to no avail. I'm on the 605.9 bootloader and i'm thinking that is the problem.
I made the mistake of letting my phone update all the way after I purchased it last week and now I can't seem to root or unlock or anything and those 10000 verizon apps are driving me insane. : (
So like most users, I was very excited to hear about the ICS leak by Football since I've been waiting MONTHS for some sort of development on that.
Getting impatient on waiting for CM9 and Evervolv builds for the Amaze, I really wanted to try this new leak for T-Mobile. So I figured that in order to do that, I must get S-Off.
It seemed like a tedious process so I've been holding it off for a while. Now that I've got a copper wire and everything, I wanted to do the deed once and for all.
So I accidentally flashed a stock rom (which I thought was a good thing since the instructions said I needed a stock rom), but I seem to have lost root access. Superuser runs, but battery calibration says I need to have root first and Titanium Backup doesn't work. However, my phone still says unlocked and I can still run ClockworkMod Recovery. The S-Off program tells me that there's an error. Is there anyone that can help?

Well you are on T-mobile so you have two choices here. you can S-off if you want to have total freedom or you can revert your phone to stock and relock your bootloader and flash it and then re-unlock again. but remember flashign this without s-off may prevent you from getting s-off later on.

Well, I can't flash the PH85IMG without S-Off, right? Because on the HBoot screen, it would load the file but i wouldn't be asked if I wanted to install it. So I had no idea what to do. I thought I had to have S-Off to install it. Does this really mean I've lost root even though my phone says unlocked and I can run Clockworkmod?

Pretty sure you just use fastboot to lock, open a command prompt with your phone attached in debugging mode, type in fastboot oem lock, then install the stock rom listed in the development section. (If I am wrong on this, someone please feel free to correct me.)
So recently I decided to delve into the world of Rooting. So i did a little research and finally decided it was time.
So I rooted my Evo 4G LTE using regawmod
Well it worked all fine and dandy. Until I decided to unroot and use an RUU so that i could root in a different method and flash a ROM on it then.
First i went into SuperSU and told it to unroot. I wasn't worried about trying to remove the tampered tag as i was just goin to root the device again. But SuperSU told me that the unroot failed.
So i continue to find a different method, more thorough. I came across a guide on HTC hacks on how to unroot the device, reflashes the original ROM on it and as well removes the tampered tag. I try it and use the correct (or so i think) RUU (the 1.13.651.1). The RUU told me it couldn't do it and gave me the 155 error, wrong ROM image as i have found out. In the actual RUU process it says to update from 1.13.651.1_R2 to 1.13.651.1 (I'm not sure if that is pertinent information)
So i recover boot the phone back up and it doesn't seem to have any problems. Except SuperSU is gone (tried reinstalling and got the no SuperSU binary error when i ran it)
So any help as to how to flash my phone back to normal so i can go about my business?

Alright I will try to recap what ive done today. I Was rooted with s-off via the thunderbolt tool and had the new ICS rom installed and running fine. But I decided to sell it so I used the thunderbolt tool to unroot and return to stock.
All was going well then in the boot-loader the update failed and i got stuck with boot-loader locked security warning, which would not let me do anything, was stuck in the boot-loader.
After some searching I found a link to unlock the boot-loader via htcdev to fix the security warning and allowed me to finally boot back into the rom but the phone kept shutting down after it booted up past the thunderbolt screen. So after searching I found this link http://www.thunderboltforums.com/forum/htc-thunderbolt-help/7853-how-fix-security-warning.html and used the 2nd method to fix it since I still have a custom recovery on the phone. Now my problem is I am once again trying to get s-off through the thunderbolt tool like it says in the guide but every time I use the tool it says Starting up... and does nothing. Bascially im now stuck with s-on and an unlocked boot-loader. oh I tried to relock the bootloader but it just gives me a security warning again and im stuck in the bootloader again.
Any Ideas?
Alright never-mind I just used the Revolutionary 0.4 program and gained "revolutionary" in the pink field and s-off again so im good there again.
The thunderbolt tool is still stuck at "starting up"..., is there another way to get the tbolt back to stock condition?

If you have S-off then just grab a stock RUU (easiest probably gingerbread) and flash the RUU in hboot. This will completely return your phone to stock as well as unroot you. If you wish to keep root then flash a leaked RUU that someone put up.

If you're already rooted go to the development section and download the new radio and put it on the root of your sd card, rename it to PG05IMG.zip, reboot into the bootloader. The bootloader will automatically scan for the update and ask it you want to update. Select yes. Once it is finished and the phone boots back up. Use a file manager to browse to the radio and rename it. Then download and flash the official ics build. Don't confuse it with the leak. The leak is a worthless piece of crap and doesn't come close to how much better the ota is.

Hi there guys, I rooted my HTC One a couple of months ago. But now I want to go back to stock. So I watched this tutorial video on how to unroot my HTC One and got to the part where I'm supposed to relock my bootloader.
I had to stop the process because the application he recommended wouldn't run on my Windows 7.
So, I'm stuck with a relocked bootloader and S-on.
I thought about converting my device to Google Play Ed but realized that I may not have the right skills for that just yet so now, I just want to go back to stock 4.3 but when I selected Recovery, it showed "***Security Warning***" right below "***Tampered***" and "***Relocked***".
After 2 restarts it disappeared but I'm scared that it might appear again.
I really want to just go back to stock. I've looked in the past threads and didn't find a solution on how to unroot specifically for relocked bootloaders.
I would really appreciate some help please.

Did you use rumrunner to s-off? Are you using a patched/modified hboot? Whatever method you used to s-off, you have to use the reverse of that, or you could brick your device. The answer to your question lies in the method you used to s-off your device.
I'm not saying this is going to help you, but I did a simple google search when I did this, and this helped me:

It says it's S-ON though.. Do I Make it S-OFF first then unroot it? I thought it would be S-OFF because I rooted it. Should i try rumrunner to turn it to S-OFF?
