So my ReZound is getting way too hot and there are so many different threads with different opinions.
I just want a straight and bold answer...
Verizon care or not if the phone says Re-Locked?
Will I get in trouble or what?
Why take the chance ? Run the release update , then relock and no way in hell would they know . I returned four phones already and not once have they said any thing

I'm S-Off too. So just run the latest gb ota. Then s-on and relock.
In that particular order or...?
do Not not not not lock with jumper hboot. Run the ruu twice , the official gb one , that will restore your hboot , then relock , easy process will save you potential headaches
ask not what your developer can do for you, ask what you can do for your developer.
Yea all you gotta do is RUU back to GB then your fine you don't need to relock because the RUU does that. You can also leave it S-OFF because some are like that anyways I left the one I sent back S-OFF.
Also you only need to run the RUU once as long as when it's done all the items say "ok" next to them.

so far all of the hboots and ruu are exploited so yes, even with the lates ics leak ( not sure about .13 though , but mine was on the .10 leak ). so s-off , ruu to gb then s-on , I CAN NOT EMPHASIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO ONLY S-ON AFTER YOU PUT BACK THE STOCK H-NOOT

How are we supposed to s-on after running an ruu? Is there another way to do it besides the write secureflag command; I thought stock, locked hboot's don't accept fastboot commands?

it does accept commands, just not all of them, this one does accept the write secure, try it, it never failed me.
If I'm S-On and on the latest ICS RUU, I can't RUU to gingerbread without S-Off, right? Is the safest thing to do to just install a stock gingerbread rom with some sort of patch?
Edited to add: I'm also on the 2.25 Hboot, which I can't S-Off from, right?
As long as your just returning it to Verizon just flash a stock rom or ruu and they won't notice/care. If you ever had to warranty it with htc though I would lock it down and return the whole phone to normal.
Man, this is good news. I have a hardware issue but I thought that being unlocked meant I'm screwed. I'll run the GB RUU to clear any evidence of being unlocked and request my warranty replacement.

Was looking at the RUU files with 7z, would it break signature if you copied the android-info.txt out and dragged/dropped it back in?? If not then there is a possibility to rollback the radios/RUU back to Gingerbread, by changing the main ver text in the latest leak. Any thoughts? Can't be bothered to attempt this right now as I am due to receive alot of calls today.
EDIT:
If you see here this is partially the reason why I ask, not totally related.

I think the problem isn't that check , but the hboot version check. The leak upgraded the hboot to 2.21 so it would fail the hboot check before it checked the kernel version.
Thought so but wasn't too sure.
Yeah thats the only reason im still on gb with a ics theme. Until we can get rid of that tampered on hboot and be able to downgrade to gb ill hold off on the leaks.
I don't think the official OTA is going to change the tampered part when you flash a different recovery.
I'm guessing that will stay.

Sure hope not. I wonder if the htc dev method needs to be updated for ics perhaps?
When u flash the ruu it doesn't say tampered, only after u unlock and flash one of the recoveries does it say tampered, also I got rid of that after I relocked and installed the leaked ruu again

No DO NOT unlock because if you do, you will need to S-on before you are able to re-lock and return your phone to stock.
You need to flash the patched HBOOT for whichever firmware you are currently running (GB or ICS) and the "locked" will go away in addition to full use of fastboot commands.
Or just flash amonra as a ph98img.zip file.... After that just download a rom and boot to recovery and flash the new rom from there.
Definitely don't unlock though... If you do you will always show unlocked or relocked.
I had to s on then back off because I made that mistake and unlocked when it first came out. If you don't use adb commands there's no real reason to switch hboot.

Depends on which firmware you are on and what you want to do. You can simply do the S-off process without flashing the jb hboot to get to S-off. Then flash recovery in your bootloader (use a PH98IMG.zip) to be able to flash your Rom. If you want fastboot commands while still being locked, either use the jb hboot or the modified hboot in the dev section, depending on your current hboot version.
You can OC the phone, but ICS kernels have perflock enabled, so scaling doesn't work great. Options are better on GB.

I ran the latest RUU with bootloader unlocked, s-on, rooted and I got everything except the latest radio and hboot. You have to relock the bootloader, then run RUU to get a complete upgrade.

Yes, I used ZedoMax unlock tutorial to unlock the first time. Why do you not wish to have the latest hboot?
I was hboot 1.15 when I ran the latest RUU unlocked and updated on the firmware. I decided that having the latest radio was important and you can not get one without the other right now from what I could find. So, I now have the latest radio and hboot, I unlocked the bootloader once again and reflashed my custom ROM.

Hope this helps...I love mine after the latest hboot and radio together. It now has none of those pesky issues I was fighting.
P.S. after you relock, the phone will NOT reboot. Just keep it on "bootloader usb" and then run the RUU from your computer. Then unlock again. It will be all updated and run great.
I would suggest waiting as well. Chances are your missed calls and texts aren't going to be fixed by a new radio

I think the real chances are that s-off will be achieved on hboot 1.19 first, anyway. I haven't found one credible indication of anyone working on either though...

Its being worked on. Nobody is going to announce "oh hay guize I'm working on getting S-OFF". You'll know who is is when they find S-OFF and announce it.
What makes you think 1.19 will be found first? That doesn't really make sense.
I just think it makes more sense to have the latest radio. It was updated by HTC for a reason and everyone that wants it, not being s-off already, has to do what I did. Consequently, since the update I have LTE nearly everywhere I go in NW Houston, prior to the update was spotty connectivity at best.

Most people don't have LTE coverage yet, so for most the radio isn't worth hboot 1.19

Unless of course, you're having issues running a custom rom on the latest firmware and older hboot. Then, one may wish to look at the options even if they are the "most" as you say or the least as I clearly represent in your estimation.
I unlocked my bootloader on my LTEVO using the HTCdev method hoping to be able to run the ICS RUU because I dont like a lot of the problems that came with JB. Unfortunately I learned that it will not work with the new 2.09 hboot and so I cannot downgrade back to ICS. So I went ahead and relocked the bootloader which now says "relocked".
My question is whenever the next OTA comes through will it reset my bootloader to say locked" or will it remain "relocked"?
I will always say relocked unless u s-off and customize your bootloader

You have to have your bootloader locked or relockedto accept and OTA. I'M REALLY not positive about needing to have stock recovery installed.
Really been s-off makes life so much easier because u can flash the update thru bootloader without relocking,losing root etc. You should keep an eye out on the dirty racoon thread because one of the team unlimited devs posted a sreenie. Of boot 2.09 with s-off.
Not to repeat myself but s-off really is the way to go. As for the problems u have with the update it seems it's the s-on people that r having the most issues..
Good luck man

I'm not rooted and honestly don't want to get involved with rooting as I am a super noob when it comes to this stuff. I just want to get back to stock, unrooted, locked hboot, ics. I really don't want to deal with rooted and custom roms which often seem to have things not 100% functioning properly or other issues with accepting ota's and other horror stories I've read about. I just don't have the time to mess with it all. I just want to go back to stock everything.

Sorry dude, pretty much screwed until they find a work around for the .11 update. I made the mistake of accidentally S-On and forgetting to lock instead of relocking my bootloader (wanted to return for warranty purposes). After that I've tried pretty much everything from downgrading to the stock ROM using customs ROMS trying to edit RUU's to work with my phone (Do not try this, easiest way to brick your very expensive phone) Nothing works as of now, Htc and t-mobile screwed us by not giving us the Stock RUU they knew what they were doing. But yes you have to wait.
*NOTE* On the otherhand i did learn that i didn't need to lock my bootloader to return it for warranty purposes the guy at the t-mobile store replaced it right there for me no questions asked. But the replacement i got came with the updated .11 ROM which means no S-Off for me still.
Damn. That's what I was afraid of. I just kept reading that as long as you had 1.44 h-boot it was still possible, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Well thanks anyway for responding.

Wait I thought you could s-off with that hboot i thought 5xxx was unable to s-off
You can s-off hboot 1.44 as long as you haven't taken the latest tmobile ota or used the tmobile ruu, they patched whatever it was that allowed us to s-off in the latest version

Ok guys not to sound stupid but I've rooted plenty of phones and have had pretty much every top tier phone. I've rooted all my android phones. I just don't understand the s-off portion of it all. I have s-off and currently rooted. What advantage do I have over someone that doesn't have s-off? I got my one already rooted so I never went through the process. I guess that's why I'm confused. I'm used to Samsung phones.
When the update comes next week should i just wait for a rooted version of it? I'm assuming so.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
S-OFF basically allows you to do 2 main things you couldn't otherwise pertaining to Roms and such:
1- flash unsigned RUUs. You can flash custom firmware that don't belong to your device. IE: you can flash the newest 4.3 firmware prior to 4.3 releasing for the T-Mobile One.
2: get yourself out of a jam. Here's a great example. Let's say you flashed the stock GPE recovery and ROM. Your S-ON. You wanted the full GPE experience. Your phone took the newest update. It will flash 1.54 Hboot and update the boot loader to the black GPE version although you are S-ON and not running the GPE device. Without S-ON your SOL if you needed to go back to stock for whatever reason because the HBoot can't be rolled back on S-ON.
Its a good protection to have in your back pocket IMO

So once S-OFF is achieved, can flashing any RUU set it back to S-ON? If so, how can that be avoided?
I have a tmobile phone flashed with launch WWE firmware; don't care about WiFi calling or any carrier bloat, but did want the 1700 HSPA+. I'm thinking of clean flashing to latest Tmobile RUU to get the supposed LTE reception improvements, then going from there to back to launch WWE and to latest WWE (to try to retain settings).

No you would have to purposely set it back to s-on, an RUU won't do it. Would you be doing the tmobile Thu then installing WWE Rom ? Or flashing WWE RUU? Cause the ruu would just reset everything XP
