anyone have accomplish this? I've been trying for last few days. I run the gb ruu the latest Ota twice (yesterday I ran it 4 times) and then the s-on command trough fastboot/adb and I'm left whit stock gb, s-on and RE-LOCKED HBOOT.
Is there anyway to get it to LOCKED?
Thanks in Advance
Edit: I've been running the 2.01.605.11 Ota gb ruu.
You need to S-OFF first and then relock it. Running RUU will give you RELOCKED or TAMPERED.

While s-off run the fastboot commands to relock the HBOOT? Can you tell me those commands? Thanks.
Did you unlock while s-off? If you did, you need to s-off again. After s-off you will have a locked bootloader again. Than ruu to gb ota, and send the s-on commands through fastboot.
That will leave you with stock gb, s-on and lock bootloader.
Do not send the s-on command unless your are 100% sure you have an ota stock hboot. Or you will have a brick
I am pretty sure that there is no way to get it to say locked. It will just say relocked. Someone was working on a way to change that but I think they decided not to continue because they didn't want to be accused of encouraging fraud.

No no, just do the S-OFF. If you attempt to lock after S-OFF, it will say RELOCKED.
The S-OFF process is the only way to get back to LOCKED. If you unlock or run the fastboot command to lock again after that, it will show RELOCKED.

Alright thanks guys gonna try again tonight after work. I'll report back later.
You can definitely return to **Locked** without question if you have s-off. Just run the newest leak RUU twice and it should take it back to locked but S-OFF, did it to my girl's unlocked+s-off rezound two nights ago. I didn't even have to manually run it twice, it just keep rebooting and did the 2nd run on it's own. It's now the stock hboot, locked, s-off. Then if you want GB there shouldn't be any issue flashing the GB RUU since you'd maintain S-OFF

I'm currently s-offed and running 2.01.605.11 gb ruu.
Now I need to use the warranty so I need to change the status s-off/unlocked
to s-on/locked not s-on/re-locked.
How can I do that?
the fact that you are S-off doesnt matter as some devices shipped are s-off but to get to locked run the same gb ruu again but dont unlock.
but if you really care about it saying s-on follow the instructions in this thread

by doing this, I can get the s-on, but still I can't get locked.
I need to know how to get locked on the bootloader to use the warranty.
Find a thread that has the correct hboot for your firmware then go to fastboot and type
Code:
fastboot clear cache
fastboot oem reboot ruu
fastboot flash zip (zipnamehere).zip
Then wait a little then do
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
That should do it and also I'm not sure it there's a space between reboot and ruu so try both

my first post is the only way to get to 100% stock that i am aware of ... if he is unlocked he will have to s-off to get it to say locked and then s-on to get it back.
if he locks it with the fastboot command it will say lock and if he is s-on not sure but i know if you are s-off you will stay unlocked or relocked even if you flash new hboot's
Thanks if i helped
These steps will get you completely back to stock.
I want to first say thanks to the unlimited.io team for making S-OFF possible.
Secondly, by following these instructions you are acknowledging that should something go wrong and you brick your device, I am not at fault nor are the developers of the S-OFF method for the HTC RUBY. Follow these instructions at your own risk! I am NOT a dev, just stupid enough to be the first one (I think) To try this. I am not going to give instructions on how to use fastboot, if you are S-Off, then you should already know.
Third, you WILL be able to re-unlock your bootloader and regain S-OFF after you have followed these instructions. If you want to do so, there are other threads on how to do that.
And 4th, I have only tried this on a tmobile branded device. I have no idea if this works on any other device. I think it should, but I don't know for sure. If anybody wants to give it a try and let me know, then i will update the OP.
Now to the steps.
1. Download the stock ruu from here
2. Lock your bootloader by using the fastboot command "fastboot oem lock"
3. Reboot to system
4. Flash the stock RUU you downloaded by placing it in the root of your external sd card and renaming it PH85IMG.zip and rebooting to bootloader.
5. Once you have the stock rom reinstalled, set the security lock by using fastboot command " fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"
6. Profit?
That's it!

I should have clarified, the steps are if you want to go completely stock, will update the OP.
Will it read "relocked" or "locked"? I thought being "completely stock" was not totally possible because it would always say "relocked".

No it wont. Sometimes when you flash ROMs after the ics leak it'll go back to locked . Only if you do it manually through fast boot it will say re-locked.

You can't downgrade back to GB once you've updated to ICS, if that's what you're trying to do. At least not very easily.

I dont know a way for going back to stock without being s=off. You could possibly flash the newest official release (ics, one that hasnt been modified) then relock your bootloader, but i think that it will show relocked rather than locked. Worth a try though.
Okay thanks for the input guys. It isn't a huge deal, I just didn't think there was enough "goodies" rom-wise for ICS, but there are some hardworking devs on here. Looking forward to the Sense 4.0 rom.

I spent 3 hrs trying to solve the relocked and locked issue until finally I got it resolved. with the manual option to lock with hasoon tool, places *** RELOCKED *** in hboot, which clearly and obvious for any technician to see you tampered with the hboot files from stock. my reason for doing this to get my warranty back.
how did i fixed "RELOCKED" to show as *** LOCKED *** ? after the hasoon tool 3.2 relocked the bootloader i was challenged, but decided the first step would be switching the security off and on (s-off/ s-on)
first return to stock RUU through boot loader, then adb command fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 to enable s-on. *toggled it on
i reinstalled juopunutbear s-off again carefully following the instructions. with a paperclip grounding the phone and selecting for juopunutbear's modified files "y" enter.
then your *** RELOCKED *** shows as *** juopunutbear *** in hboot. (at first i thought I dig myself a bigger hole)
I used Hasoon tool 3.2 again to RELOCK bootloader, with the intention of reinstall the stock RUU again. however it still showed as *** juopunutbear *** with the message its already locked.
Now I installed the the Stock RUU again from bootloader. once complete back to the hboot, to show *** LOCKED *** and s-off Progress!!!
repeat enable s-on instructions by writing adb: fastboot oem writesecureflag 3,
now shows
*** LOCKED ***

Do S-off procedure. That procedure changes the bootloader back to "locked" whenever you go through it as well. You can observe this on an hboot other than JuopunutBear's modded one.
If you want it stock, you have to re-flash a stock RUU and do S-on procedure; check the guide in the Development section.
okay i just ran the newest ruu and noticed it when i rebooted to bootloader...so all i gotta do is run it one more time...then when its fully s-off and labeled "locked" just run the secureflag 3 command again?!?!

Then run the RUU *before* S-On... all else before S-On. You must make sure that is stock bootloader and not JuopunutBear or else you risk bricking when writing the security flag command.
And be sure to run the RUU twice to ensure a complete flash.
Also note the JuopunutBear bootloader, if flashed, will read "JuopunutBear" instead of Locked and indeed performs similar to an unlocked stock bootloader. But that JB version is simply hacked; once you flash a stock bootloader over that, it will read Locked.

Reflash the factory RUU and then revert to S-ON. If your bootloader is unlocked, you'll need to relock it before you flash the RUU.

Then back to S-On (waiting on instructions how)

Are you unlocked or locked?
You are s-off right?
What is you're hboot? is it modified?
I am unlocked
I am s-off
Not sure which hboot I am on. Can't get my wife's phone right now. I am not on the latest hboot I don't think but the one right before it.
As far as it being modified, was that something it asked when doing the s-off? If yes, then I believe I did it. Can no for sure tomorrow when I check the device.

I need to have S-OFF to relock my bootloader, but I can't find a program to help me achieve that. There was firewater and that has become discontinued. There is SunShine ( I think that is what its called ) which you have to pay $25 for. I don't know if it's worth it.
Error 155 is because of unlocked bootloader. Only way to have unlocked and run an ruu successful is with s-off. Just relock and ruu you can always unlock again via HTCdev. Type the command below to relock when s-on.
Fastboot oem lock
It will show relocked, so it won't help with warranty, but if you are planning to unlock again, it will work.

/system has to be unmodified. This means most things that require root to change (E.G. removing system apps, changing build.prop, xposed, etc) have to be reverted to stock for an ota to work. You do not need s-off to take an ota. Just uproot, put /system back to stock and flash the stock recovery.

You need s-off to make it say LOCKED. With s-on, you can only make it RELOCKED.
The only reason to make it LOCKED is for warranty purposes through HTC (AT&T warranty actually doesn't care of the phone is modded).
