The reason I ask is because it must be done in this order:
1. Lock the bootloader.
2. Run the ruu.exe (which reverts the recovery to stock as well)
3. Revert back to s-on.
If you revert back to s-on while still using a custom recovery, then you brick your phone.

Due to the very right side of my touch screen failing I have a warranty replacement on the way. I was able to flash back to the last GB RUU from the ICS Leak without issues. However I would like to bet able to minimize the any reasons for dismissal of the claim. I know when I got s-off, it locked (not re-locked) my bootloader, however I unlocked it after to install 4ext and then root via flashable zip.
So the question is can I revert to s-on as I doubt I could re s-off update my phone to relock it.
Alright, was able to with some help over at the Juopunutbear IRC, wound up having to s-on the device, re s-off (so the device is locked not relocked) then s-on'd the device again.
Phone is 100% stock and ready for return.
Where did u get the gb ruu id like to reset back to stock

Download the stock rom you want from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617644
Rename the file PH85IMG.zip, put it on your external sdcard and flash from Hboot.
You need to have s-off to downgrade.
Did you use the writesecureflag 3 command to revert to s-on?
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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612937
since you are on stock hboot you'll be fine with these instructions

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

1. do the s-on process
2. re s-off (this will give you locked bootloader)
3. s-on again (to get rid of s-off)
4. ruu to latest offical release

Then do the jouponut s off method. Flash files as ph98img after if you choose not to change to a eng hboot.
I had to find this out the hard way since was one of the release day 1 s off users an unlocked thinking a ruu would revert back to locked.

All of this going back to s-on is not necessary at all. Just flash the same hboot like I said before and you'll be fine

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
Hey guys. A while back my phone got screwed up I had to flash the ruu to get it going again. Originally I was on hboot 1.4 rooted/s off via revoked. After I updated with the ruu for the newer radio it now has hboot 1.5 but still says s off. I wasn't able to flash a Rom via clockwork or twrp. So I have a stock Rom without root and I can't figure out where to go from here.
Any ideas?

don't know for sure but IMO you will have to unlock via HTC dev.com, then you will be able to flash anything like you did before . And to root your ROM, just flash a zip file containing superuser apk and binary after doing the above steps.
Also you can revert back to hboot 1.4 ( don't know how exactly ) but don't follow the downgrade thread by unknownforce as you are already s-off
S-Off supercedes being locked. You should still be able to flash roms and have superuser. I was on unlocked on 1.4 with s-off and went to 1.5 showing locked but with s-off and everything still flashes and superuser works fine.
s-off should allow you to do as you please with your phone.. you should still be able to flash w/e recovery you want and w/e rom you want w/o fastboot into recovery..
having s-on in 1.5 is a pain.. but if you already have s-off.. you can just as easily flash back down to 1.4 or even to 1.04 the eng hboot..
but once you're s-off, which you already are, you can do as you please with your device.. you don't need htc dev for it..
EDIT: you might just have to reflash your recovery.. use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and then boot into it... recovery.img has to be in the same folder as your adb and fastboot files..
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
sincerely,

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...
mpgrimm2 said:
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)

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,

Do you have hboot version 1.44? If so run this from bootloader:
fastboot oem lock
Then run the ruu. If you're s-off check the thread designgears just shared with you and go s-on last.

He should use revone first to make it look untouched because the motochopper root method is blocked. Otherwise he will have to go back to the state he is in now and do it all in the right ordered

Many thanks to you both. Mission accomplished. I re-rooted too afterwards.
Sorry for the newbish questions, but if I'm getting a replacement phone because my screen cracked and I need to send my current phone back to Asurion. I'm currently on the 1.54 hboot from the international firmware, so do simply need to flash back to the stock 1.44 hboot, use REVONE to revert to S-On, lock the bootloader and then flash the RUU? Also, can I flash the decrypted RUU zip instead of the RUU.exe after I've relocked the bootloader? I'm a Linux user and would prefer not having to install Windows to bring the phone back to stock.
