Hey guys, have to send in my phone in for a warranty replacement, but I've run into a few issues:
I'm s-on running ViperRez, and anon-ra. I went in and relocked the bootloader, but my phone would only boot into hboot. So I re-unlocked and got stuck after the viper rez splash boot animation.
So here's what I'm asking: right now my phone is s-on, unlocked, still on viper rez, and currently not booting. When I relock do I need to like get rid of amon-ra or something? Once I relock I plan on running the ruu tool for the ICS OTA. Am I in the clear so to speak? Any suggestions as to why my phone won't boot, and why when I relock it boots to hboot only?
Thanks, for the help, I have to send this thing in by Sunday so I'm slightly paranoid.

Just relock the boot loader and flash the latest RUU. You will be fine.

Go to the bootloader screen and tell us what hboot and radio versions you have.
Hboot 2.21 is gingerbread.
2.25 is the first ICS OTA.
2.27 is the global update.
Did you run an RUU?
That should work.

Baseband is radio.
Anyway, that means you are on Gingerbread.
So you can either flash the GB RUU, or upgrade with the ICS RUU.

Since that's an ICS rom, you should flash the 3.14.605.12 RUU.

All RUUs work s-on.
Only flashing hboot/radio individually requires s-off, and downgrading RUUs.

Need to lock the boot loader before running the ruu if you're s-on.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
This is the process I've used from what I've read here many times.
Place the PH98 file of the RUU on your ext SD card.
Relocking the bootloader always has started the flash process for me but if it doesn't.
Pull the battery.
Boot into bootloader.
Let the RUU flash.
Let the phone boot but don't set anything up.
Shut down the phone and pull the battery.
Reboot into bootloader again.
Flash the RUU a second time.
Boot the phone.
Delete the PH98 file off your ext SD card.
Power down and pull the battery.
Boot back into the bootloader and do a factory reset.
Reboot again and enjoy.

THANK YOU!!!! Thanks all around! I am proficient in adb and rooting and unlocking bootloaders but what ive come to realize about htc is the whole s-off/s-on crap. as soon as i relocked the bootlooader and flashed the ruu already on my sd card i was able to get booted back up. im running a s3 as my my driver and dont really have to deal with radios and hboot, but when i had my thunderbolt it really started to bring back memories. thanks for the help guys!
I am just wondering if any one else has seen this I just busted out my old rezoned and went to flash the official ruu and my hboot says tampered Ive never unlocked or rooted this phone is the ***tampered*** from using the leaked ics img
tampered means that it was unlocked then relocked, i think.
I thought it was from flashing a custom recovery, either way not a big deal .
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Actually neither. When you flashed the leaked ICS RUU it changes your bootloader label to "tampered." You can get rid of it by s-offing.

Tampered means there is a custom recovery. For unlocked it displays locked unlocked or relocked.

Correct you get tampered when you flash a custom recovery, running a full ruu should remove it.. cuz it replaces the custom with stock recovery
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
+1 for it being due to a custom recovery. Relocking it and running an RUU will get rid of it, although it'll still say "relocked" instead of "locked"

But you can s-off and install a hex-edited HBOOT to one that says locked even if it's relocked.
Doesn't it also say "unlocked" underneath "tampered"? I don't think you can install a custom recovery without having unlocked the phone.
Or did you temp root?
OK so I used the bootloader to flash the 3 option in Haus's thread and every thing is working. But....
Now on the bootloader screen it says locked tampered then S-off.
I was told the locked was just wat it was saying and didn't matter.
So do I have a locked boot loader? And does that even matter for anything or was it just required to get root plus S-off?
Did I mess up getting the newest hboot from the firmware? I was told I needed it to run meanbean.

I'm not sure what u flashed but it sounds like you flashed the whole thing which means you have stock recovery now. Either fastboot flash recovery image or download thru goo manager.
Once you have a custom recovery installed your all set. Don't worry about the locked on your bootloader

You should have flashed the first file the one with no kernel,hboot, or stock recovery that would have updated everything you needed to be updated
So did I mess anything up? I was able to flash mean bean without any issues.

No you just did the same as taking the OTA as far as I can tell. As long as everything is working you should be fine
I am trying to run an RUU to bring back to stock. When I run the RUU it fails and everything that I have read says that for the RUU to be successful your bootloader must be locked. So I do my fastboot oem lock and the re-lock succeeds but now can only boot into the bootloader. I cant get the os to boot so I cant run the RUU. If I then go through the unlock procedure again my phone boots with no problem. I just cant get it to boot while locked. Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Also I am S-On running stock w/goodies 2.28

That is what I have already done but when I run the fastboot oem lock as it says in the video my phone reboots but wont boot into the OS just goes back into the bootloader.
Also I dont know if this means anything or not but when I am at the bootloader at the top it says "tampered" "relocked" and also "security warning"

I don't think the phone will boot with anything but the stock rom after an oem lock. It should boot again after running the ruu

I think it says tampered because you still have root access

Flash the stock ruu. It will boot and tampered message will be gone

After you relock the bootloader like you said you did, get back into bootloader, set to fastboot, connect/or keep phone connected to computer after locking, and it should say "fastboot usb" in red when you go into fastboot selection. From there run RUU on your computer, and you should be all set. Hope that helps.

When you say flash the Stock ruu I think that is where my confusion lies. The only ruus I have been able to find are an executable that is run from my PC. Also if I am able to find the ruu to flash is it a .zip or a .img and is it flashed thru fastboot or recovery?
ok thank you everyone. I was able to get the ruu to run from fastboot. I thought I had tried that before and the ruu wasnt able to detect the phone but as of now it seems that I am good.
Again thank you guys
I had a unlocked bootloader, rooted rezound running AOKP JB rom. Now after trying to flash a differnet kernel (stupid me) I can't get past the bootloader screen. I was able to relock my bootloader but now on Hboot screen it says ***tampered*** *****relocked**** and ****security warning**** I am completely stuck. Am I SOL or is there a chance to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Get back into fastboot. Unlocked your phone. You can just go back and flash the boot.img that was on your original rom

You won't be able to flash a rom or kernel if your s-on and locked. The only thing you can do is try and unlock bootloader or run RUU and restart from scratch
I can't unlock boot loader. Went thru the process and it said the token was too long. So I guess I'll look for the RUU and give it a go.

At what point did it say that? When you are trying to get it from the HTC site? If that's it you are just copying too much. Make sure you don't copy any extra characters at all.
If it's when you are flashing the unlock token bin file then I agree that you should just run the RUU and get back to fresh stock then try again.
Use the RUU that is the .12 version rather than the global leak, unless you have already run the global leak one, if you want to be able to take the newest OTA.

And your bootloader is locked? You talked about getting the unlock token, did you unlock it again before RUUing?
It needs to be locked to run the RUU.

Try this:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip {nameofruu}.zip
Or place it on your sd card and flash it in hboot
If it's an exe file you need to double click on that on your pc while the phone is connected.
