Hello
I made on your phone with hboot 1.49.00018 downgrade through HTCdev
I then made through the revolutionary S-OFF
I then recorded the RUU and choose FastBoot oem writesecureflag 3 gave the phone to the state S-ON
but on my screen instead LOCKED light RELOCKED
how to achieve it again to be on display LOCKED??
Not possible to change this again. Wrong section by the way...

IF U Unlock it. then relock it.it will change to Relocked....no way to get it to Locked @NOW
I may have a way if your prepared to try it as something strange happened to mine using HTC supertool

Don't know if it'll work across carriers, but I used revolutionary for s-off and bootloader unlock then renamed and flashed a zip from one of these threads. Bootloader changed back to locked, didn't say relocked.

That's because you used rev to s off

In theory, could he use rev, to unlock again then relock via pb**img.zip? (Cant remember) to get the bootloader back to locked?

I agree..
But anyway, back on topic.
The phone came LOCKED.
once you Unlock it, you can only RELOCK it.
There's no way to completely lock it again unless you use a goofy method or you send it back to HTC for a complete flash.
I would love to know what that goofy method is so my insurance claims don't get denied.

Insurance can't get denied because of it. However, warranty can be denied but the chances of Sprint actually checking on this are very slim.
Basically, send it to Sprint for warranty if it isn't an actual insurance claim.

I haven't heard of anyone fixing that part yet.. Just a line of text maybe some code that would need to be screwed with but noone has fixed it yet.
Curiosity has got me. Has anyone tried to ruu back to the pre OTA evo build?
Pretty sure you can't ruu backwards. I could be wrong
Edit:i mean can't not can sorry bout that

I wonder if it would put the old bootloader back on...I'm new to HTC and not sure entire what all the ruu does.
I want to try bit don't have anywhere to run linux to unbrick.

No, the RUU will not work.
But you could flash a rom that's built on the old base.

Great!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone else?
Is Sprint the only place to get the white EVO?
thats not entirely true. when i got my first white evo july 13th it had the hboot 1.15... however when i brought it into Sprint to have them swap it out due to a vibration defect, the new one that i got had hboot 1.12 on it. pretty much luck of the draw.
and yes you can only get the white evo at a sprint store
I got my whitey about a week ago, and it is now S-OFF Came with the old software, thankfully.
My white one came with 1.12. Was very relieved to find that, I thought for sure it wouldn't be.

Seems that my phone is having random restarts so im going to have to have it replaced. However I want to be able to S-OFF my device.
Has anyone had theirs replaced via Sprint's ESRP lately? I'm curious what h-boot the phones are coming with now.
Yep just last week, I cracked my screen and they replace mine. It came with the 1.12 old hboot

Me too. Got my phone a couple of weeks ago. As I came in the rep said he updated the software on the phone for me so I figured it came with the OG H-Boot.
Last week. 1.15

did they replace it for free or with a charge?
Wife traded her S3 in on an EvoLTE last weekend. 1.12. I updated it anyway. She doesn't care about rooting as long as PDANET works, so figured I'd get her the fixes and root it later once the have s-off figured out. Plus it lets me get the JB update and see if it's worth while or not.
Mine is about a month old, came with 1.13, rooted, s-on.
Phone was HTC-Dev unlocked, stock rooted and moonshine S-OFF. Reverted back to stock recovery and took the OTA update. Now under Settings->About->Tell HTC and error reporting the phone says that it's a test device. Has anyone else seen this? Is it something I should be worried about?
I've seen that before on HTC Dev unlocked devices. Nothing to be concerned with, really.
