has anybody succesfully gotten rid of ***RELOCKED*** on the 3d after rooting? i went back to stock so i am s-on again but want to get rid of the relocked message.
I have a gsm model. Reflashed ruu via pg86img to older version from my carrier. Then fastboot command 'fastboot oem writesecureflag 3' and then I was back to s-on showing lock not relock
I was revolutionary s-off

Same here got the ruu from xda then run the ruu then head to %TEMP% folder in windows and copy the rom.zip then rename it to PG86IMG.zip place it on sd , boot into bootloader on phone and update. this makes your phone like brand new from factory then connect to pc open command prompt and type "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" this turns s-off too s-on after this reboot bootloader and you will see ***locked*** s-on
But to do that, you have to be s-off first.
Otherwise there's no way to flash the img via bootloader if i'm not mistaken.
I just tried it (s-on / relocked) and neither the flashing or the fastboot command works unfortunately

cant you use the revolutionary method to s-off then flash the ruu zip? then use the command to s-on again. worked for me on hboot 1.4.9.0018 this gives you ***locked*** not relocked!

ok i do have sprint...i want the locked message...not relocked.
For me on Sprint version, no matter what I did it would show relocked if I was on hboot 1.50. If i was on hboot 1.40 it was fine. So I stayed 1.40 on went s-on. But HTC may actually upgrade it and check. Not sure.
so if im hboot 1.50 and root, i could downgrade to 1.40 then flash a ruu to loose root and it will show locked in stead of relocked?
does this work if i unlocked the bootloader with the HTCDev method instead of revolutionary?? my evo 3d is GSM
hello everyone
I recently installed KingCobra3D ICS 1.2 ROM on my EVO 3D, and it was running well until all of a sudden it started having many issues of turning off while the screen is sleeping (it wont turn back on until I do a battery pull), rebooting, and wont turn on until I do multiple battery pulls. First I thought it was the kernel, so I reflashed the kernel along with the ROM many times, and it still does those issues. My question is, how dp I go back to the original stock Gingerbread firmware without relocking the bootloader? I flashed the ICS ROM, not firmware.
EDIT: I tried restoring my backup from the recovery, but the phone didn't boot after that
any help is greatly appreciated. thanks

Hello madmajd,
S-ON as your phone is you can not flash boot.img(kernel) from the recovery.
Extract boot.img from your gingerbread rom.zip and flash-it from fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
reboot in recovery, do a full wipe
and flash your rom

While its true YOU CAN flash the kernel that way its not needed with HTC Unlock...
If u enter your recovery via fastboot command prompt ( fastboot boot your recoveryfilename.img), roms And KERNELS WILL flash like normal from the recovery. Here's some extra info I pm'd to another gsm user...

Some key points:
- The ICS /ICS Leaked roms (3.6/4.0) typically have trouble booting the stock kernel on several HTC Unlocked phones. This doesn't seem to occur on S-off phones. (Boot loops are usually a sign of a kernel issue).
- I am on a Sprint CDMA EVO3D & have no idea how to s-off your gsm version/downgrade the bootloader.
- I do have an HTC Unlocked guide in my signature that covers many of the basics for the CDMA version. It's the same process/steps for gsm, but the files used need to be gsm specific from the gsm threads (recovery, kernel, roms, etc).
- If u decide to run an Ruu (exe or zip), you must be locked/relocked & run the same or higher firmware version as currently installed. The exe will work with the phone booted to android or with the bootloader in "fastboot usb". The zip must be renamed exactly PG86IMG.zip and put directly on the root of the sdcard & boot into the bootloader.
- If the phone boots to the bootloader, you can use fastboot command prompt to " unlock" the phone again with your unlock code. Then fastboot flash the recovery again (4ext or Cwm 4.0.1.4 gsm versions recommended), then fastboot boot the recovery, run a superwipe (or format system, data & cache), & flash a gingerbread Rom or one of your nand backups.
- The correct HTC unlocked flashing process (ICS or GB) is to enter recovery via fastboot command prompt, format/superwipe, & flash the Rom (and/or kernel) as you normally would. (4ext Recovery is a solid workaround to using fastboot commands)

Doing what?
You might want to consider upgrading your firmware and getting S-OFF status. I have a guide here that can help.

Too late!
Ok so I followed someone's note to me that said I needed to relock the phone first. So following the instructions for relocking I did the "fastboot oem lock" and now I am "Relocked" but the phone only boots now to Bootloader/Fastboot.
What do I do now?
All I really want to do at this point is get the phone back working. I don't care about root as this phone is going to someone else.
Thanks

Hi
I think you need to downgrade to HBOOT 1.49.007 Because versions 1.50.00 and above have a restart issue with custom ROMS
The bad new is that you must spend your HTC EVO 3D S-OFF
I followed this thread to downgrade
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=17434661
Follow this thread to return to 1.49.007 version of hboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172
If you really want to s-on your phone after this downgrade, you can enter
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
in fastboot mode, but i don't recommend it
Pay attention to these manipulations and does not hesitate to completely read all the tutorials and all comments.
goodbye,

If you have hboot 1.12 why don't you just get it s-off? Or if you don't want that. Your command is wrong. It isn't "fastboot oem relock" it's just "fastboot oem lock"
Hope that helps...

Hi,
My Evo 3d GSM device was S-OFF by the Revolutionary method.
All work fine.
But for garanty purpose, l've already restored boot_signed and system.img from stock rom.zip
Can i restore original recovery with:
fastoot flash recovery recovery_signed.img ?
And Restore stock hboot with:
fastoot flash hboot hboot_SHR_U_1.53.0007_20120522_signedbyaa.nb0 ?
Thank before,
If you really want to go back to stock, run the ruu for your region/carrier. It will leave you s-off, but everything else stock. You could go 100 percent stock by going back to s-on first. EDIT: After! See ramjet's post below.

Running the RUU should restore the default recovery and leave you s-off if it is going in for warranty work don't forget you want to be s-on (fastboot oem lock) after running the RUU.

That's the command to relock after doing the HTC unlock. The command to set S-ON is "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" and should only be run after the RUU is flashed and the stock bootloader is restored. If S-ON is set while a modified bootloader such as ENG, Revolutionary, or Juopunutbear is installed it will brick the phone.

So ramjet: if s-on, you lock then run ruu. But if s-off, you run ruu then lock if you wish. Is that right? I know it's a different kind of lock, but i didn't realize order mattered going s-off to s-on.

Yes, those are separate S-OFF's. The bootloader unlock (hboot S-OFF) is different from the radio S-OFF. This post from the MeanROM ICS thread has an explanation by Unknownforce, the developer behind the the hboot 1.4 downgrade method for radio S-OFF.
The "fastboot oem lock" command will undo the bootloader S-OFF, which is required to run the RUU.exe for users that are radio S-ON. Users that are radio S-OFF can run the RUU.exe without any special considerations.
Once the RUU.exe is run and the stock bootloader is installed, the phone will be bootloader S-ON regardless of the radio S-OFF status. To run fastboot commands like "flash" and "erase" the stock bootloader needs to be unlocked by the htcdev method or a custom bootloader modified to support those commands needs to be flashed, which requires radio S-OFF.
After installing a custom bootloader, setting radio S-ON via the "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" bricks the phone because the bootloader is not signed by HTC and that is not allowed with radio S-ON. Therefore a stock bootloader needs to be reinstalled before setting radio S-ON and the easiest way to do that is flash an RUU.exe.
Hope that makes sense.

Hello,
After all your explanations, I was reassured to install "RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed.exe"
Unfortunately it did not work: probably due to the absence of CID (HTC__203) of the revolutionary HBOOT.
So I took the rom.zip file in the% temp% directory and I renamed PG86IMG.zip. I pushed on my sdcard.
A reboot in the bootloader and the EVO 3D has successfully installed the ROM with firmware radio, recovery, system ... in short, everything
Now my HBOOT is 1.53.0007 HTC, it does not show revolutionary, but it is unlocked and S-OFF
Now I think it is acceptable to send like that. What do you think?
In fact I've not said what the problem was my phone: After installing a ROM that had the good idea to turn xLOUD (I think that's it) it has blown me the speaker (communication only)
Thank you again for your help

Unroot Help
If you want to unroot, first find the Stock Hboot 1.58, then install it.
Then run the RUU for your device.
Lastly, in fastboot (adb), run "reboot bootloader" then run "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3".
Congrats, you will now be unrooted with bootloader *LOCKED*.

He said to run the RUU before issuing that command so it should be fine if the intent is to return to 100% stock, including S-ON. It's not really necessary to flash the stock bootloader before flashing the RUU but it might save having to restart the RUU if it hangs after flashing the bootloader. The OP said he was already on hboot 1.58 anyway.
You will also need to to lock the bootloader with a zip file in recovery since flashing the RUU doesn't do that. I have a guide here that includes everything you need.
Good luck!

When i reinstalled the stock Hboot manually (via bootloader) it showed *LOCKED* for me.
Just wondering, how does flashing a zip file in recovery, (which doesn't touch the Hboot) turn it *LOCKED*?

That's because you were locked already and it just wasn't showing because the custom hboot masks that status.
There's a link to a thread that explains how the lock zip file works in this post.
