Hello there!
i have been using my OneX+ for a few months now and i honestly hate it. selling my GNexus was the biggest mistake i've made. everything, apart from the internal storage is worse on this phone and i literally have had enough of it. I want to sell it and get either a Nexus 4 or GSIII.
I have been looking around for tutorials etc, but havent really found anything solid and related to this phone. im sure it's an easy thing to do, so if anyone out there knows how to do it, can you please spend a few moments and explain it to me, i will be very greatfull!
thanks in advance
I guess if u are trying to get rid of your one X+ u want to make it in somewhat original condition.
Then u need to relock your boatloader and then run the RUU to get you back to stock.
No one will know its been rooted except the boatloader will show relocked instaed of locked.
So search for RUU and relockong boatloader on the forums for the step by step.

Rularn, it is possible to return bootloader to LOCKED state from UNLOCKED by downgrade of stock ROM ?

well i know how to relock the bootloader, it's quite simple, but problem is, i ran the RUU exe and it failed to revert my phone to stock rom etc. although i didnt relock the bootloader before doing it, would that be why it failed?
thanks

Yeap, u must FIRST relock than run RUU.
Check sticked threads in general question (U will have full tutorial how to back to stock) - however in bootloader there will be RELOCKED status not LOCKED, so it will be clear visible that u`ve previously unlocked Your device - may cause problem with warranty)

thanks. im not worried about the warranty thing. i will sell it on ebay without it... and i believe HTC will still honor your warranty if the problem is not software related.
As far as I know u cannot return to LOCKED status after unlocking.

If the device says relocked and i need to send it in for a warranty will it be an issue
The Camera on my HOX+ is terrible, tried the MOD but doesn't help
HTC say i must send it in but don't want in case there's issues
Thanks
camera is poor, change them doesnt help realy.
bootloader lock status has nothing to do with warranty

Ok thanks Skdubg
Only reason i thought there was an issue was i've compared photos to an stock standard HTC one x and they much better than my plus when viewed on a pc screen or HDTV
When viewed at actually size the photos are terrible, even video recording stutters a bit, video isn't smooth
Sorry wrong thread to go on about the photo and video quality
But just wanted to know if i factory reset and make stock standard and return bootloader to relocked if HTC will still honor the warranty
Thanks
My understanding is that unlock bootloader = void warranty. It wouldn't matter what you did after that. What a stupid policy - I just got my phone and now I'm afraid to root it. I desperately want to apply the BT call quality fix!

That's not my understanding of the terms from http://htcdev.com/bootloader/ :
It is our responsibility to caution you that not all claims resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader may be covered under warranty.

and
We strongly suggest that you do not unlock the bootloader unless you are confident that you understand the risks involved. This is a technical procedure and the side effects could possibly necessitate repairs to your device not covered under warranty. If you are still interested in unlocking the bootloader, and you understand the consequences both to your device and to your warranty, then you may refer to the following pages where we have provided the unlocking instructions.

Sounds like a pretty good deal given the mobile industries general state of affairs.
No revert; just a flash, flash, flash, restore type thing.

hi guys,
i have a EVO 3D GSM. i read some threads and i understood that, after root, we have the possibility to revert it back to stock rom and send it back in warranty only rooting it some ways (if possible).
The question is: i have HBOOT 1.49.0018. There is a rooting method that will allow me to revert to stock and use the warranty?
EDIT: for what i read, downgrading and using revolutionary i shouldn't have warranty problem, right?
rooting and warranty. . .
Hey there, I myself have Evo3D CDMA currently hboot 1.5 and unlocked through HTC method to flash custom roms and what not. What I believe (which might not help much) is that "un-rooting" is quite a bit more difficult especially if you have rooted through revolutionary/alphaRev. ADB cmd's and terminal codes... many many lines to hash out either on the device or through fastboot. What I suggest is read read read read, then read some more. When it comes to warranty I think im screwed just because "htc unlock method" and they have a token/device id and all that but you may be able to get by! GOOD LUCK.

HTC unlock method I had Sprint replace 1 for screen issues and insurance replace 1 for water damage. so insurance isnt affected. I have never in 10 years with Sprint gone to any manufacturer for the Warranty always to Sprint and if outside warranty to insurance.

Did you relock before you took it in ? Or did you take it as is? My phones been acting up and I'm on sprint . I'm just hesitant to take it in unlocked or even relocked because they can obviously see I had unlocked my bootloader.I'm still on stock rom just use things like set CPU and little things .. haven't flashed any roms yet . Kind of hoping to get a replacement with a 1.4 hboot as the evo3d I have now is 1.5 which I know its still possible to flash but I'm more comfortable through cwm than fastboot .

Hi everyone, i 'm going to be concise. I own an HTC onex+ international version (it should be no brand) and i would like to unroot it and reset to factory for a warranty issue. I'm extremely noob so i would like, if it's possibile, the fastest, easyest and safest way to do so.
On internet i found several guides about it as http://onexroot.com/one-x-unroot/how-to-unroot-rooted-htc-one-x/ or http://theunlockr.com/2012/12/28/how-to-unroot-the-htc-one-x-2/ BUT i found also an xda tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870652&nocache=1 that sounds appropriate to me; i read on other forum that i need some kind of extra instrument like boot.img
There are some things to take note of. The boot.img and HBoot image flashing requires users to get their own files as those are device specific and aren’t included

actually i have no idea where get it and how use it. I would be very gratefull if some of you could explain to me step by step how to do the unroot.
ps. i just rooted and put inside the cmw under the instruction of friend of mine but i don't really understand how i did it.
thank you in advance.
relock bootloader and install RUU and you are back on Stock
but would you be back on stock for a warranty issue, you didn't must do that.
warranty has nothing to do with your firmware or root or bootloader unlock.
they would be erase all at your phone and flash the RUU

if you dont touch the bootloader it says: LOCKED
if you unlocked bootloader it says: UNLOCKED
if you relocked bootloader it says: RELOCKED
we can never go back to LOCKED (RELOCKED is technical the same like LOCKED, but it shows as RELOCKED) all people can see that the bootloader was touched by the user
so it cant the reason for that
to relock:
boot into bootloader
and execute this command in fastboot:
fastboot oem lock
now you can install your latest RUU (RUU is the Stock Firmware from HTC as *.exe to install from Windows [depends on your CID])
So I discovered a slight gap on certain edges of my One, which I got a week ago, and want to return it to AT&T for one that hopefully has no issues, but I've rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and flashed CM 10.1 on there. I searched through google and the forums here on XDA to find a method to relock the bootloader and go back to stock, but my search was fruitless. Apparently something called an RUU was needed? And according to the last post in this thread, that isn't available.
Is the RUU available now? Or is it currently impossible to relock the bootloader?
If so, would I be able to pull off just flashing the stock ROM back onto the phone and bringing it into AT&T? I feel like the only way they would realize something was different with the phone would be if they rebooted it, as I highly doubt most of the people in that store could even get into the bootloader screen. They had trouble syncing my google account.
Unless, of course, they send it back to the manufacturer and then THEY say that the warranty is voided because of the unlocked bootloader... but I don't know if they go through all that trouble in this situation?
Thanks for the help.

For a quick and easy way, just boot into fast boot and cmd "fastboot oem lock"
The only problem with that is that if they DO boot into the bootlaoder, it will say "RELOCKED" instead of "LOCKED"
The longer way, is to S-OFF (find it in the international forum) and then follow instructions there to put the "LOCKED" text back.

Get S-OFF, I was able to remove TAMPERED and change my UNLOCKED to LOCKED. You can also flash a modded HBoot that will take the red letters away and change the text from S-OFF to S-ON this will allow it to look like you never touched a thing
To get S-OFF I recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
To mod your HBoot go through the post from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316726 (to download the HBOOT and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786498 to download the tool to create the modified HBOOT
But to let you know, I have returned 2 HTC Ones with unlocked bootloaders and AT&T did not say anything. Just flash the stock rom, make sure fastboot in enabled and leave it booted to the set up screen. Above is for if you want to be thorough and make sure you cover all your bases.
UPDATE 11/25/2013 - scotty1223 posted a method by which you can change your UNLOCKED flag back to LOCKED which then re-enables the fingerprint senser. I'd recommend to just avoid HTCDev.com for unlocking and go straight to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540004
On a personal note:
It makes sense really. Your fingerprint is like a unique password that you cannot change so HTC is doing everything prudent to protect that password for you. I don't see a problem with this personally.
On a technical note:
I believe the TZ partition (mmcblk0p11) has a check for whether the device is LOCKED, UNLOCKED, or RELOCKED. If it is anything other than LOCKED then the fingerprint scanner is automatically disabled.
I believe there are two possible ways to re-enable the fingerprint scanner:
Issue the command fastboot oem lock from the bootloader then run a factory RUU for your carrier
Hex edit the TZ partition to remove the unlock check, then fastboot oem lock and subsequently unlock the device again
The first method would most likely require that you also flash the stock recovery from fastboot before relocking.
The second method would require S-OFF to function as it is very unlikely that mmcblk0p11 is writable with S-ON.
I am by no means an expert with HBOOT or TZ so I may be way off base here, but that's how I see it right now. I'll see if I can get a warning posted in the threads about the fact that unlocking the bootloader with HTC Dev method will disable the fingerprint scanner.
yes ... pretty sad situation here... dont want to lock it again at the moment ... maybe i will relock it when i found a good rom ( i hope there will be roms for this phone, mike wont do one )
damn its a great phone !!

@navalynt i have an app which also does not work after boot-loader unlocking.
This app is "Du Transport" and it is an app which is used to replace smart cards in pubic transport. This requires a special sim from the telecom provider and with this SIM as authentication the app uses NFC to replace the smart cards.
i think it goes back to the secure partition which you talked about. your solution logically makes sense that it's a bug in the firmware/hboot or where ever which needs to be fixed rather than these individual apps fixed.
This should have also behaved the same way as in HTC One.
For the s-off solution, do you think we could we just reuse the tools/scripts which were created for HTC One?
Has someone here contacted HTC or know if HTC/HTCDev are aware or working on this issue?
---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------
I am not sure if this is a bug or that's the way it is meant to work. we could possibly contact HTC/HTC Dev for a fix about it if we are sure it is a bug. i have read that HTC dev's attitude is bad but we could possibly contact the service center managers and demand a new phone under warranty.
I am not worried warranty and BL unlocks as i have dealt with such a situation before.
Hello
So the solution to make it enable state again is to flash a RUU ?
so i contacted HTC customer care via the website and i got this response.
Thank you for contacting HTC support.
As per your mail, we understand that after unlocking the bootoader of your HTC One Max, the finger print sensor is not working.
In this regards, we request you to please visit our nearest service-center to resolve the issue.
We would like to inform you that as, you have manually rooted and installed customized OS, the warranty of your device may get void, kindly provide us with the device details like IMEI or Serial number and your location so we can direct you to the service-center accordingly.
You can get the IMEI number by dialing *#06# or you can get the Serial number or IMEI number on the invoice or you can find the IMEI number or Serial number on your HTC handset box as well.
Please read the disclaimer given below:
Disclaimer: Unlocking your device allows you to install custom Operating Systems (“OS”) onto your device. Custom OS’s are not tested as thoroughly as your original OS, and unlocking your device may void all or parts of your warranty. HTC disclaims any and all liability for proper functioning of your device after the bootloader has been unlocked and for data lost in the unlocking process. To prevent unauthorized access to your data, unlocking the bootloader will delete all personal data from your device including applications, text messages and personalized settings.

Send you to service center to have RUU flashed.... Has nothing to do with custom OS... I'd hit up Jason and Mo from HTC on Twitter.... likely get a better logical response there.

Yeah thanks, that's what i am thinking of doing... i was wondering if there is going to be some kind of solution to this issue or we just have to live without root ? it's not only fingerprint sensor which seem to stop working... its some kind of secure flag/partition which goes bonkers on BL unlock i have a very similar issue with another app after BL unlock.
Paul O'Brien of Modaco confirmed that HTC is aware of the issue and he raised it with HTC
has anyone with s-off tried setting the bootloader back to "locked" (not "relocked") to see if that fixes it?
I would try it but the only one max I have access to belongs to my dad and he's considering returning it and getting something else so I can't do anything that could cause problems with returning it.

We don't have definite guides of making it to "locked" yet.
Given that our device is almost the same as HTC One, i am guessing methods of HTC One might work.

I removed my TAMPERED flag and also set it to LOCKED and the fingerprint scanner works!

There is currently no RUU available as of right now. I think the best you can do for now is to a TWRP restore. There is a stock rooted TWRP in the Android Dev forum. Although this won't un-root you, its closest to stock that you will get. For the future, always make a backup before you root and then you won't have to worry

I just ordered my device and still waiting on it to be delivered. I'm already debating on whether or not to root as I've never owned an android phone that i didn't root. From what i understand, the bootloader needs to be unlocked, then s-off, flash recovery and then root. Now, if i'm to do a nandroid of the stock ROM before I root, will I be able to lock the bootloader again, nandroid and s-on in case I need to utilize the warranty? Also, will any warranty bits show up or a tampered flag or any other problem arise that'll indicate it's been farked with? Is there a way to undo those flags? Thanks in advance to TheEmpyre or whomever else can shed some light on this.
EDIT: If the s-off is the only step that will trip the flag, is it possible to leave S, er, ON?

Unlocking the bootloader trips a flag. When you relock it gets rid of one flag but trips the relocked flag. Soff can get rid of all flags but you have to leave it soff. Turning it back on throws a security flag.

If you are current AT&T customer, and can go through them for warranty, they do not care in the least whether you are bootloader unlocked, rooted, s-off, etc.
I know AT&T written policy says otherwise (they have the right refuse warranty on modded phones) but in reality they cherish you paying that nice monthly bill every month over the modest cost of a refurb phone.
I've come over from the One X (EVITA) forum, and there were many (possibly dozens) of report from XDA users successfully returning their devices for warranty with bootloader RELOCKED, UNLOCKED, and in some cases even with custom ROMs installed! And I haven't seen any reports otherwise (AT&T denying warranty due to modded phone).
If you are not a current AT&T customer, and have to go through HTC, that is a different story.
But if you are an AT&T customer, my personal opinion is that you do not need to care about being able to return to stock, tripping flags, etc. Just mod away.

I can second this. I just had to replace my m8 because the speakers were crackling like crazy, my bootloader showed relocked and they told me straight up that they didn't care about that as long as it was a hardware problem and not a software problem and replaced it on the spot.
I was under the impression that if you were in your first year of owning the device that faulty hardware would be covered under HTC's factory warranty and not AT&T?

Looking at the return info, I can see where the confusion might come from. It says "Return directly to manufacturer" for 15 days or more:
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/returnpolicy.html#fbid=KMGdewZyG_f
But AFAIK, all warranty returns go to AT&T when you work through their warranty department. You send them your defective phone, and they send you a refurb. I haven't had to go through this process myself, but this is what has been reported many times on XDA and other forums.

No "update" on this issue is required. The process has been the same for a couple years or more. Further, you've posted the same/similar question to multiple places, and its been answered already in multiple places.
Connect phone to computer in fastboot mode.
Open command prompt, and type: fastboot OEM lock
From there, you can run the RUU.
