if I use the htc unlock and someone finds a way to s off this device can I revert back or am i always stuck with the htc way. or can i do htc unlock and just probably do the hacked s off. thanks
You can relock through adb. I believe the command is "fastboot oem lock"
applying an OTA also relocks the bootloader
thanks good info

You relock thru fastboot not adb. Run that command you posted in fastboot mode.

If you want to get technical about it, you need either the sdk or adb installed in order to use fastboot command and your phone in fastboot from the bootloader. .
And on the evo lte, htc has brought in fast boot mode in the os for a quicker startup sequence, because the phone doesn't truly turn off, just a hibernate state.
But I wasn't being technical about it because that's not what the op was asking
I just didn't want the guy to try to do
Adb fastboot OEM lock
That won't work. It would throw a error.just trying to be correct. also you don't necessarily need adb to use fastboot. The fastboot and adb binaries are packaged separately. He could boot into fastboot by doing volume down and power then using fastboot only unlock the bootloader using the fastboot binary.

Oh, I wasn't aware that you could use fastboot without the sdk or adb installed.

All, I am sorry I didn't search more, but I am desperate. I go on travel in a few hours.
Long story short, my phone stopped working with 3g, I spent 4-5 hours on phone with sprint trying to fix. THey want it back to the store. It was HTC unlocked with Fresh. I used fastoot to do fastboot OEM lock, the phone rebooted and goes back to the bootloader screen, I can't get it to go back to Android
It says Tampered, Relocked, security warning. Please. Any help. Can I RUU from fastboot?
Yes
As long as you have the boot loader locked you can run the RUU, you can find the RUU in Android Developement.
Hook the phone to your computer, open a command prompt and type "adb reboot recovery" make sure USB debugging is checked. That should get you into TWRP recovery, then go from there.

After relocking the bootloader, I can no longer enter recovery. RUU doesn't seem to want to run because my phone is not up and running (it is already at fastboot prompt). Can I just get it to recognize my phone in fastboot mode somehow?
U need to unlock it again and flash the stock Rom if u relock it with a custom Rom it doesn't allow it to boot

As long as you have the proper drivers you should be able to run the RUU from fastboot. While in fastboot if you type 'fastboot devices' (without quotes) is your phone listed?

RUU is finally running now. Failed several times, and then just started working. I hope it works. Thank you everyone. Will post back
This happened to me as well. The only thing that I did that finally made it work, was to make sure that the path that I performed the fastboot oem lock command in was the path that contained the fastboot file.
When I did this, it would boot into my custom ROM and I was able to run the RUU without any problems.
When I would try to run the RUU from bootloader it would always tell me my battery was low, even though I was over 90%.
Happend to me too . I just ran ruu while in fastboot .

Hi everyone im new to the Evo LTE scene. I come from the Epic Touch so rooting is completely different so i was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on how to root the Evo lte, and do i need to have s-off ( i dont even know what this means LOL) and root in order to flash or just be rooted and have a recovery installed.
and last how can i tell what Hboot i have as it seems 1.19 is the newest ?
Thanks
You only need to unlock, s-off is only available for hboot 1.12 and a downgrade process is being refined for 1.15 and 1.19. Unlock the bootloader and flash recovery. You can unlock manually through htc dev or use Regawmod in original development. To avoid any unnecessary issues you would probably be better off unlocking manually.
HTC Dev Unlock
Requirements
HTC Drivers
ADB Tools Mini SDK
Setup
Install HTC Drivers if necessary
Extract ADB Tools anywhere, doesnt matter
Open ADB Tools and hold shift+right click, select open command window here
In phone settings, enable usb debugging and disable fasboot
Connect the phone to pc
Steps
In the command window type adb start-server
Next type adb reboot bootloader
Select fastboot
Type fastboot devices to make sure you are connected
Type fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Right click and select mark, click and drag from the top arrows to the bottom arrows and make sure not to highlight any empty spaces as this will confuse the website, right click and it will be saved to clipboard
Now go to HTC Dev and if you don't already have an account, sign up for it
Go to unlock bootloader and select other supported models and accept the agreements
Skip the steps until you get the to token submit window and paste the token you copied earlier and submit.
Go to your email and download the unlock_bin code
Put the code in the ADB Tools folder
Type fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
When the phone prompt comes up to unlock bootloader hit yes, now you are unlocked, re-enable usb debugging and disable fastboot
Type adb reboot bootloader
Type fastboot devices to make sure phone connected
Type fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.img
Type erase cache
Reboot phone and you will have unlock and recovery, all thats missing is to restart phone in bootloader and select recovery to flash a rom. Wipe Dalvik, cache, Factory reset, system and then install the rom. If it doesn't boot, extract the boot.img from the rom and put it in the adb folder and in fastboot type fastboot flash boot boot.img and reboot

Hello
I'm trying to revert back to complete stock (stock rom, no root, S-ON) and following this guide/post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33770807
For that i need to do check the CID and then write back the original CID (Though i can skip this because i didn't use HTC Dev method at all, just original root and revolutionary S-OFF)
Then i need to do "fastboot oem lock" before running the RUU.. but here in lies my problem.
For some reason i can't get fastboot to work.
ADB works fine and i can push and pull files when in android or recovery, but as soon as i enter hboot and try to use fastboot commands, i just get "< Waiting for device >" and have to close the CMD window. (Before you ask, yes it does say "FASTBOOT USB" on the screen)
I have tried both using my standard adb and fastboot files, and i have also tried downloading the latest android SDK and using those files, but neither to any luck.
Anyone have any idea? It might be something simple, as i haven't had to use fastboot before now.
I'm guessing it can't be a driver problem as i can connect fine with ADB and it shows my device when doing "adb devices" (Though it does not show my device when i do "fastboot devices", it just skips the line entirely and prompts me to enter something new).

If "fastboot devices" doesn't show the serial number of your phone, none of the other fastboot commands are going to work.
Have you tried disconnecting the phone, rebooting your PC and then connecting the phone again? If that doesn't work, try uninstalling the drivers, rebooting the PC, then reinstalling the drivers.

Tried to reboot the computer, no change.
Decided to try using my laptop before going through the trouble of reinstalling drivers, and it worked
My laptop can see my device fine using "fastboot devices" and i'm able to get my CID (cid: 0202)
Thanks for trying to help me out anyways I might be back with more questions
EDIT: I just google'd a bit and found another command to get the CID "fastboot oem readcid" and it shows HTC_Y13 (which i find more believable tbh).
Is your hboot unlocked?
I am s-off, but couldn't use fastboot commands untill i unlocked my bootloader again..

There's no need to unlock the bootloader if you are S-OFF.
If you want to run fastboot commands like "flash" or "erase" just install a custom bootloader like ENG, JBear or Revoutionary from the current bootloader. It's better to keep the bootloader locked since that's the stock status and it makes it much easier to return the phone to 100% stock.
AFAIK, the "*** RELOCKED ***" heading you get when locking an unlocked bootloader which flags to HTC/Sprint that you modified the phone can only be undone with the JuopunutBear wire trick.

For me IT was the only way to get fastboot working though...

Did you try one of the JuopunutBear bootloaders (GB or ICS) for the GSM version of the Evo 3D? That should allow the fastboot commands without unlocking.
ramjet73
Yeah, after i s-offed i flashed the ICS jb hboot, but no luck...
So i decided to flash the 1.49.0007 hboot and unlock it the htcdev way.
But if you want to lock it again, you can simply redo the wiretrick right?

Alright, so Yesterday I got my DNA, I've been trying all day yesterday to get the bootloader unlocked. I did the one click method and checked the CID and it is all ones. When I went to HTC dev I'm getting the error of 160. I've done research to see that this is because of the unsupported device and that the exploit failed, yet I'm getting all ones? SOme help and or guiding would be great
Oh and I have tried on my windows 7 desktop and windows 8 laptop.

Of you have a custom recovery, just use the lock/unlock bootloader zips Scotty shared with us. I discussed this before. It works like a charm.
