No, your going to have yo re-lock.

To run an RUU, you will need to relock or get S-Off.
If you relock, you will, of course, need to reunlock after the RUU if you want root. If you get S-Off, you will never need to unlock, relock, S-On, or S-Off again.

No. You can ignore that iirc. Someone else can chime in as well, it's been a while for me, but I remember this coming up a long time ago - it happened to me too. It's happened to many people. You just relocked so you're still going to run the RUU? Should go away after you do.

you get a security warning if you are relocked but don't have the official RUU installed. So if you flashed an ICS rom and relocked, the rom would work fine but you would have a security warning because it isn't HTC's official rom.

Your phone won't boot with the security warning.. you have to run a full ruu now. Yes from hboot name it to PH98IMG and put it on your sd and boot to bootloader. It'll find it automatically and prompt you to run the update.

Yes, as famous said above. (But according to Con you should still be able to boot now. I don't remember if I ever booted with that warning, I doubt it as I was probably relocking just to run the RUU and had no need to boot up.)
I edited my post above, you must have quoted me before that showed up. Once you run the RUU the security warning should be gone, then you can unlock again and flash a custom ROM if you like.

I've attached what you need, courtesy of MrSmith317. If you ever do need to relock you'd just need to get another unlock token from HTCdev to unlock again.
But you will most likely end up needing this for some sort of flashing at some point.
I think you only have to relock to run the ruu. You shouldn't have to with the updates since they are flashed in the stock recovery. The ruu being flashed through hboot requires relock.

So you have an unlocked phone and you want to get the OTA, correct? What ROM and kernel are you running?
That error you got, was that trying to run the RUU? Which one? 1.x or 2.x?
running cleanrom ICSE 2.3
kernal 3.0.13-gaf15497-dirty
i flashed stock recovery, relocked device and was stuck at hboot..couldnt get past it rebooting or anything..unlocked device and tried running the RUU exe..started up but error out saying it couldnt complete and my screen was left on HTC till i pulled battery...

What version RUU did you use? 1.x or 2.x? Did you try running it while the phone was locked? It needs to be locked when you run RUU. But you also can't go back to an older mainver and some ICS ROMs are on 3.x
Also can you check what mainver your phone is on? In fastboot type:
fastboot getvar all
running 2.0.1 and wrong RUU i guess since its 1x
Yeah, you need to run 2.x RUU. Get it from link in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22045045&postcount=58
That should fix you up. Then after you run that and get the OTA, unlock, flash Amon Ra (there's a new version posted to that thread today), go to the developer menu in Amon Ra and install su and you will be stock OTA rooted.
Hey guys i'm s-off on 3.14 ICS leak. I have to return my phone for replacement device and i have searched everywhere and can't seem to figure it out. the RUU exe has never worked for me and idk what that really is.

Get the 2.01.605.11 .zip from here

Rename it to ph98IMG and place it on root of sd card. It would function the same as the .exe but all steps would be done on the phone itself.

i tried that but then it said "parsing ph98img" and then it just reboots back to my ICS leak
let me re-download
Dunno why the .exe version isn't working for you, what problem? Just make sure the download itself is good, drivers are good (Google and download HTC Sync) and USB debugging is turned on in the phone's settings, should be fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19756694
Grab the 2.01.605.11 RUU .zip version, rename to PH98IMG.zip, slap it on the SD card and go to the bootloader if nothing else. Then follow that S-On guide listed in the same thread. Make sure to factory reset before shipping off.
Edit: just saw previous posts, check md5 of your downloads, does sound like you're getting a bad connection to get all these errors.

I've been pretty braindead and stressed out lately, feel I've harmed more than helped on a few troubleshoots.
But I assure you 100% the bootloader will not read "locked" that way; RUUs do not affect the Locked/Relocked/Unlocked flag.
Once Unlocked, HTC Dev only toggles that message and Relocked.
To get from Unlocked after S-off to simply Locked means setting up stock, do S-on, and running through S-off procedure again.

Download the ruu. Put it on the root of your sd card. Reboot into bootloader. Done.
If you were wanting to make it ready for warranty exchange, you may want to change the glaring S-Off flag back to S-On too.
Some say they get by with S-Off, some would rather not risk the rare possibility of a VZW rep or HTC actually saying your warranty is void due to tampering.

Basically, minus step two. Note that the S-off procedure toggles your bootloader to Locked too.
You should also flash a JuopunutBear hboot after S-off instead of running HTCDev Unlock again to gain your Fastboot commands functionality. Plus PH98IMG files will work on a Locked stock bootloader anyway.
*If* you unlock, then you will be flagged as "Unlocked" in the bootloader, and flagged "Relocked" after locking it back up. Both indicate tampering; warranty becomes a concern.
Only way to show the stock "Locked" flag again is to cycle back through all those steps to process the bootloader flag back inside S-off's magic.
Just sayin', no good reason to Unlock after S-off. But nobody has ever been charged for Unlocked bootloaders by Verizon or HTC either.

you have to run the same RUU twice in hboot so it can do its complete install.
He wants to get to stock so he won't be using a leaked RUU and so he will not have to run it twice.
What I'm thinkin is, if you made a backup of the stock rom before you flashed your first Rezound rom, you can just do a Restore.

That would only work if your s-off. The boot.IMG wouldn't be backed up if you weren't s_off when you made the backup.
Hey guys. Yes I have searched, but have only found instructions so far for going back to stock gingerbread.
I need to send my amaze in to get fixed under warranty, and I'm assuming they won't like it if I send them the phone with an unlocked bootloader, rooted, and CM10 installed, and that's what I need help with. How can I reinstall stock ICS, unroot, and lock the bootloader of the amaze? And will it show as "relocked" or "locked"? Of course I plan on putting the root and unlocked bootloader and CM10 once I get it back, so I'm looking for a reversible way to do this. Thanks in advance!
Just to be clear. For your bootloader to say 'locked' you'll need to have S-Off and NOT unlock the bootloader again. But once that's done just flash the ICS ruu. Here's a link

No. That's the only way for it to say "locked" if you relock it it will say "relocked"
So if you really want it to say "locked" you'll need to S-Off first. Then flash the RUU.
Once you get it back you can do as you feel.

After unlocking the bootloader with S-ON and installing a custom recovery/rom how do you revert to Stock.
I've tried relocking the bootloader, and using the AllinOneToolkit by Hanson to install the Factory RUU but it keeps failing after the HTC boot logo appears and the zip RUU file gets transferred to the phone. Keeps saying Failed with 12 signatures or something.
Then I read with S-ON that you had to use Hanson's tool and perform Fix Mainver, but that doesnt do anything either. Keeps saying, error cannot find device.
So, how do I go back to Stock?
Would appreciate any help!
Boot into fastboot, type "fastboot OEM lock" in the command prompt. Put the appropriate RUU on your external SD card and rename it PH85ING.zip and boot into bootloader.
Edit: its PH85IMG.zip. sorry about my fatty fingers. Also, make sure to check the md5 sum on the RUU. I always had trouble with the download.

You made it seem like you had to relock everything.
To be clear: if you're S-OFF, the update will install (keeping S-OFF intact) regardless of your lock status. I've received more than one OTA update without issue on my S-OFF, unlocked Rezound--after which it remained both S-OFF and unlocked.
S-ON/unlocked is the only permutation of the two that would prevent an OTA update from working properly. That is, if you were S-ON, you would need to be either locked or relocked.
If you're rooted, on the other hand, the OTA will most likely fail. And it definitely will if you have a custom recovery (Amon Ra, TWRP, CWM).

Mostly true....however the latest ruu will give you the 2.28 hboot in locked status. S-off will remain so you'll have to flash vinylfreaks modded 2.27 hboot from hboot using a ph98img or simply unlock again.
I've done a handful of these lately and always ended up with a locked hboot even if I was unlocked or using a modded hboot prior.
