Yesterday I Relocked and ran RUU to take the OTA. It used to say Locked before I originally unlocked to root and now it says Relocked in bootloader. Does this matter?

So there is no 100% way to unlock and Relock and not tell because it now says Relocked.

if your s-off u can get rid of that.. mine says locked s-on.. but im really unlocked s-off.. that bootloader custimizer will fix that
It is correct what everyone is saying....once you unlock there is no physical/official way to lock it. It will always say relocked unless you do the mod to have it say locked. Its still relocked just doesn't "look" relocked....if that makes sense. Hope that clarifies it for you.

I'm assuming u mean gingerbread, in which there are already threads about this.
U need to be s=off and a locked or relocked bootloader. Flash gingerbread ruu in bootloader and you're done.

If you're s-off then don't HAVE to lock the bootloader, it still works with an unlocked bootlader as well.

Well even if you did root without htcdev unlock, it still voids your warranty regardless

IT IS NOT THE SAME!believe me!if you don't unlock via htcdec(with other method) you can revert back to locked s-on.if you unlock with htcdev you can only go to relocked s-on so they know you messed with your phone.unfortunately,for hboot 1.5 there is no other method.only for 1.4

Just downgrade your hboot using cd method, use 1.40+revolutionary, use powduh/commonsens/meanrom and custom kernel and you will find your phone flying high... And at last you still can get back to haboot 1.50 locked
This phone is imortall... Lolz

I don't know if the same is true for the GSM model, but doing the JuopunutBear (wire trick) method for S-OFF left the two CDMA Evo 3D's that I have with a ***LOCKED*** bootloader even though it was ***UNLOCKED*** previously, and those were both on hboot 1.5. The bootloaders are still ***LOCKED*** and I use custom hboots to be able to use the fastboot commands that a locked stock bootloader doesn't allow.

I did the wire trick, and now I can't read my locked status because I have the JB
Thing where my locked status should be.

If you did the wire trick and haven't done the htcdev unlock since then, your bootloader is locked but that won't matter since the JBear version allows the same fastboot commands as an unlocked stock bootloader.
The only way to see it is to flash a stock hboot.

HELLO,
FIRST I UNLOCKED MY BOOTLOADER WITH THE T-MOBILE OPTION IN HTCDEV.COM.
I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY GOT S-OFF BUT AFTER GETTING S-OFF ,
I NOTICED THAT IN MY BOOTLOADER MENU SHOWING THAT MY BOOTLOADER IS LOKED NOW.
BUT I HAD UNLOCKED IT BEFORE PERFORMING S-OFF.
CAN ANY ONE TELL ME IS IT OK OR NOT ??
SHOULD I UNLOCK IT AGAIN BEFORE FLASHING ICS RUU ??

It's a part of the s-off process it's normal use hasoons aio kit and unlock it again with your previous unlock.bin file and yea your safe to run the ruu but you can't flash the recovery without unlocking the bootloader

Thank you sir,
So I will unlock it again and then flash ics ruu ..

You've come a long way, but s off is weird, it re locks it. So you'd have to unlock it again then flash the ics ruu or firmware IN BOOTLOADER NOT RECOVERY. :thumbup:

unlock the dang thing again!!! lol. sorry i know a little late, haven't been on much lately..
Just noticed after a week with the phone, that the screen is pulling up out of the phone :\. Going to bring it to a store, but don't want it to be rooted/Rom'd etc.
Thanks.
Yes there is,
Look for it on the general section on the ATT forum/
Keep in mind that running the RUU will erase the sdcard also/
So I need to oem lock the phone, then run the RUU correct?

I've got issues with my microphone and need to exchange it too. I don't know what the implications are but I think restoring it back to stock makes sense. Can you post your notes for this process?
