Error unlocking 1.58 boot with HTCdev, any workaround ? - HTC EVO 3D

Hey guys , just pulled new evo 3d out of the box and tried to unlock it.
Everything as usual , pull the token data , sent to htc , got my unlock file and FAILED to flash it ... Check unlock token - failed .
I saw few same messages here for GSM version of evo, any solution for CDMA ?
Is it possible to downgrade 1.58 to 1.40 using semi brick procedure that was used to downgrde 1.50 ?
Im ready to throw it in a garbage, locked phone is a paperweight !!
Any hlp is appreciated

I've heard reports that the same method does work with this bootloader, you'll just need to use the RUU version of the rom that you're currently running, with that same bootloader.
But, once I get my device back I'll be able to test it more thoroughly. I've also heard that you need to temp-brick it two times, but I'm not sure why still...
Never-the-less, I plan on testing much more when I get my 3D back, like even a better more reliable method of bricking as well, so we'll see.

Thanks for input ! Im not shure i have enough knowledge to do this, hope a guru can do the trick for us lamers )

[Q] HTC EVO 3D Hboot 1.50 (can we downgrade)

I just got the HTC EVO 3D, and like a tard I updated everything not really paying attention to updating system updates. Well I updated to Hboot 1.5...
Is there a way to flash back or RSD back to stock firmware and software? Or am I screwed until they come up with a way to root at hboot 1.50
Thanks for the info in advance.

Unfortunately no, there isn't a way to downgrade. HTC makes it so you can't downgrade the bootloader (unless you were S-off). The RUU would error out at the bootloader, and tell you 'main version older' or something like that. You could use the HTC 'unlock' method and flash a recovery, but you'd still be S-on, and won't be able to flash kernels. If I were in your situation, I'd probably just hang tight for a little while and wait and see if revolutionary gets updated (because it's said that they're in the process of working on the 1.5hboot).
Yeah I just ran thru the HTC Dev unlock already. Back everything up, and flashed the recovery. I think I will try out the cleanrom for now and see if anything happens. I been up too long and I am delirious lol. Thank you for your reply. Hopefully I didn't screw anything else up hah.

RSD is a Motorola term. Just putting it out there. For HTC, it's called an RUU.

Here is an update on unlocked bootloader for 1.50 Hboot.
Confirmed it says unlocked, but seems to be some issues with s-on s-off. I was able to get recovery flashed. Now I am trying to flash cleanrom atm. As we speak booting to cleanrom. Booted...no issues thus far. Running great. Now I will try a different kernel and see if that works.
I am having a hard time with getting my voicemails sent to my evo3d as a notification for a new message.. this has been a prob for sometime now and I've always just thought that I never had ne voicemails or perhaps I haven't set up my voicemail account right or at all just yet when come to find out yesterday I had 33 msgs exceeding my inbox n lost em all.. never once had I got the notifications or alerts for any of em though. Can any one assist me in fixing this issue please? I've alrdy tried calling CricKet and having them reset my voicemail services n that didn't seem to werk either. So far that's as far as I got. Also, I can't seem to get the thumbnail photos of my contacts to show in the messaging app or whatever, not even as i am in the current conversation with sumone.. it just shows the blank pic. And they show in my contacts book/app just fine. How do I go about fixing this as well? Thanks in advance.. oh yea lemme give yu detail on my phones details to further help with the assistance. I am currently running "joeykrim's original 1.2.0 Odex" ROM which I had gottn off ROM Manager and flashed over using TWRP's 1.3 Recovery .. I might also add that i am with CricKet's slow ass service running on PRL #45512 in Colorado. And yes this ROM is the latest updated version of 2.3.4... If need more info or even a descent screenshot of my settings or info on device and image of the problems I'm having I can also provide upon request..
Sorry if this ain't the place for this question but I have searched evrywhere n did my part in th research n read rule alrdy n have found nuthn what so ever related to my concerns so please don't gimme the ol look around speech please... Thanks much in advance .. KaeDee. Please email me @ [email protected] or contact me private message with helpful or useful info thanks again..

Nah we were in this situation for awhile with the Incredible. Nand unlock or s-off lets you flash radios and hboot. . It also sticks through most updates for instance those who had s-off before the 1.5 update are able to go back if they want and are able to root without using htc unlock.
what you get with the htc unlock is a permanent root that allows custom recovery and roms. not sure about kernels as I have read conflicting posts. as always your best bet is to read up in the forums before accepting any updates from htc.
any updates fellow members security -off for the new hboot version ?

I unlocked through the HTC unlock . Its correct that it doesnt allow you to get S-Off , but from my expierence flashing on the 3D is as follows . If you enter fastboot through CMD screen and fire up recovery through CMD it flashes everything . I have flashed several different roms in the past week . Boot animations change , Kernels change everything changes . Now I have not tried to flash radios and so forth . That may still be locked out I am not sure from personal expierence . I only went the HTC unlock way , mainly due to getting a new job and now getting a discount through verizon . I may (Keyword MAY) jump ship to Verizon only due to coverage issues and the Droid Prime . For the time being the coverage issues I can deal with . Also most of my family is on verizon . But back to the main point . Most of the functions that I had with S-Off I am still able to do as long as I start up recovery through CMD prompt . I have a feeling HTC did this intentionally . My theories on it is , by forcing users to go through the command promt . It "kinda" weeds out the users that know what they are doing from the ones that don't. Yes its easy to get around it and now isnt so much a problem to flash through cmd and most anyone will eventually find the way to do so . But that is how the internet works , information is passed even faster than before and like all information . The ones who really shouldnt mess with it will get access to it and others who know what they are doing have it . When I mean by users that shouldnt have access I mean the ones who have no clue what a Kernel is and just flash things to flash things and end up with a nice paperweight . Im by no means a hardcore hacker or power user , but I do spend several nights reading as much as I can and asking the correct questions before I proceed with anything on my phone since its my only form of communication (no home phone).
I unfortunately dropped my phone this last weekend and shattered the screen. I still have it (probably for only another day) and it still works. Is there any way to use this rooted, s-off, busted phone to get s-off on my new phone that came installed with 1.5?

I already have activated the new phone and the one I dropped had some scratches on the outside too. It would be too much to switch everything that was affected by the fall. Oh well. I am just going to send the phone back to asurion and move on.

All that's required is that you have access to torq drivers, and have careful hands to handle ribbon cables, and youre good to go! But being 3D when u replace the screen it's not just the glass digitizer, its a whole unit and I think its even easier to replace

It's yousefAK....duh....
I will call balderdash on this, as he only made a video of the GUI, which could easily be cobbled together in about 20 min. The video was uploaded over a month ago (Oct 1), and is "in development". I'm thinking the exploit referred in the description either:
A. Never existed
B. Didn't work like the vid owner anticipated
Even the yousefAK offers this response, from 3 weeks ago (around Oct 21):
"Use HTC's unlock and flash TWRP 1.1. Then flash the SU files and you have permanent root. The only thing is that you will have to flash kernels through fastboot"

Htc bootloader unlock stuck on step 12

I get to step 12 on the htcdev website and everything looks normal yet nothing on my phone changes (no screen asking me if i want to unlock the bootloader). I just got this refurb today and am desperately in need of titanium backup to restore some important info. Has anyone seen or heard of this problem? I would love to get suggestions on a possible solution.
THanks for your help!

Short Answer: off the top of my head, is the device updated to the latest hboot version? Probably will need the latest hboot version to complete the htc unlock process.
Long Answer: I don't have the HTC steps for their specific unlock method memorized. In order to help you, I logged into their web site, created an account and went as far through the steps as possible without completing their method as I'm already unlocked through the revolutionary method.
Step 10 is the step where the hash code from the device is submitted to HTC. I'm not able to see any step beyond Step 10.
The more information you're able to share, the wider group of individuals you'll allow to provide solutions. If you're able to share with us the specifics of Step 11 and Step 12, we might be able to provide more detailed help.
Keep us updated! Hope that helps!
Im having the same issue unlocking my white evo 3d. came with the lastest firmware out of the box and now step 12 says successful and nothing happens on the phone, very frustrating ive tried getting new unlock bins and nothing im running windows 7 and am very familar with rooting other devices.

Your white EVO came with 2.3.4 out of the box? Mine didn't. Shut down the phone, remove battery, then boot into bootloader by holding volume down and power. Once in bootloader tell me the bootloader version. If it is 1.40 like mine was you can use revolutionary. You guys are probably stuck at that step because you don't have the 1.50 hboot and probably have a lower hboot. If it is lower than 1.50 do the revolutionary method.

I just wanted to chime in and say for anyone having the issue of the HTC Dev root method not working for them on steps 12 or 13:
flash error due to too many links
flash failing
flash hanging on sending Unlock_code.bin
flash appearing to send successfully, but still no disclaimer screen appearing
All of these problems were solved for me after by updating my phone to 2.08.651.3 via HTC software update in the Android OS.
Thanks to dastin1015 and lchupacabras for the suggestion.
I just got a new 3d yesterday, it came with 2.08.651.2 and I got hung up on step 12 as mentioned, it looked like it flashed but I got no unlock screen on the phone. I updated my phone to .3 as mentioned by bleaktrotter and I'm having the same problem...currently downloading the .2 RUU....?

Nope. You need to I.D. your phones Hboot version first.
- Hboot 1.30 or 1.40 : use the revolutionary.io Full S-Off Method (Official RUU updates will kill the exploit).
- Hboot 1.50 : Your stuck using the HTCdev.com unlock method (S-On, Unlocked bootloader, mostly rooted). I used Zedomax's Guide from HtcEvoHacks.com but had some issues that weren't due to Max's guide and had to run the RUU (Rom Update Utility).

I unlocked my device (I bought 2 more evo's so have 3 now) and one of them has hboot 1.53.0007 and is s-off I have tried to install more than one rom and none of them get past the HTC screen before rebooting except Kingcobra it reboots after the funky animation screen. I cant get fastboot to flash a new kernel or hboot. It always says remote not allowed. And I have tried using 4ext and clockwork both touch and non touch versions. I don't know what to do from here.
As you are s-off I would suggest you downgrade your hboot using method E (step 1 to step 4 only)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466
Your hboot is the problem. It causes problems with lots of roms. Yoda's ICS and Viper3D are two roms that i'm sure work fine with your hboot. But it will be a lot easier if you tried the method above to downgrade

Thanks for the reply. I have tried the PG86IMG.zip file more than once and also checked the MD5 before and after moving it to the SD card it checks fine but when it tries to install it it says
Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot
no matter how many times I try to install it. So I will give the ROMs a try that you mentioned. Out of curiosity I thought that when I got juopunutupbear sauced enough lol it would also give me a new Hboot at the same time it asked me if I wanted it installed I picked yes. The first phone I unlocked took three tries (it's still my current one I don't want to sell that one, sentimental reasons for making the paper weight that was given to me work again) but this one took about 10+ tries to get it to work. I think that after this when I pick up any EVOs I will check the Hboot first.
Oh and it also has an extra entry under RADIO it's OpenDSP-v02.6.0.226.00.0202 The other ones don't have that and also have different Hboots (the ones that worked the first go pretty much) and I looked it up and apparently its also an x515a which from what I gather means it has an extra frequency 850 1900(?),and 2100 (i may have gotten exact values wrong, can't rem off the top of my head. Anyway I will get back to you once I have tried the ROMs.
I have three EVO 3Ds (trying to make a buck buying locked phones from pawn shops and then unlocking them and reselling for a profit, once I get this one going again and sold I can work on the next and so on. Then I can also (each time I get one done) give a percentage of the profits (20% or so split up I think is OK) to places like this and to the devs that put together all the necessary bits to achieve a rooted any carrier phones and ROMs. I wholeheartedly support this type of philosophy and am going through the process of learning to become a dev too and can't wait till I too can participate just as much as the rest but that's enough rambling sorry for going on there got off topic.

i tried them both and they didn't work either. Am going to give downgrade a go. And also if I change the cidnum in the info file inside the zip it will work for Wrong ID errors? I am surprised to hear that (read it somewhere else earlier) I thought that file was like a readme.txt file. I am edgy about messing about with the RADIO as I hear that if you get that wrong you may not be able to get back into Hboot and if that happens it has to go to the factory to get fixed. Please advise on that if you know. Thanks

OMG! I got it working YAY!!! Finally, man you saved me from having to do the ROM roulette testing each one and switching up the various tweaks each time, wiping, etc... Thank you so much. I got Yoda ICS to run with the Stock HTC kernel. It's a bit twitchy but if it locks up the soft keys or taping stops working I just hit power to turn off the screen and then turn it on with power again and then it goes back to accepting input again. I am going to make a back up of the device and then see what is different from the other one I have and if they are the same (MD5s for a start then if they are different and when I take a look at unyaffs I will delve further)
Anyway I did notice that I wasn't getting the boot to flash properly at least according to the logs and when I looked at the version of the device it was Android 2.3.7 so maybe that had something to do with it. Anywho thanks again. And when I get to it I think I will write a nubs guide/checklist that has either links or whatever it needs for all the quirks I have come up against while doing this phone and the other one. Obviously it will have to be specific to the EVO and for the specs that mine have. Plus I know in the future to stay away from Hboot 1.53.0007 for dang sure. You made my day I hope you have just as good of one.
Glad to see you've got it working again. Theres a text file inside pg86img thats checks your cid. You should take a look here it will clear up some of your questions

GSM HBOOT 1.58.0007 S-ON to S-OFF? unable to downgrade to hboot 1.49.0007
Hi, i have also similiar problem, so I would like to ask anyone for help... I unlocked my EVO3D by HTCdev HBOOT is 1.53.0007 and I want to downgrade to hboot 1.49.0007/8 for revolutionary because otherwise I cant flash CM9/10 roms succsessfully....I have read a lots of threads but only thing what was succesfull is the hboot unlock...but Im not S-OFF...
So for the instance, the phone:
Is HTC EVO3D GSM
CID is HTC__001
was on stock ICS 4.0.3 OTA rom
HBOOT 1.53.0007 S-ON
UNLOCKED S-ON by htcdev method
followed this thread to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=28106291 and flash ROM Method D and B, but i didnt do the wire trick way - my phone is some kind of different so I think wire trick is not possible, so I skipped that (and controlbear.exe and the download links are no longer working on unlimited.io, only way i get the files was from htcevohacks.com but controlbear.exe shows me some error that I dont remember for now, i will try and post it).
Then it's working on ICS NonSense® 4.0
to downgrade HBOOT to 1.49.0007 and get revolutionary S-OFF so i followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1471246
The first method copying mmcblk0p31.img to sdcard and here im stuck....I dont understand why, but the command "adb shell dd....." copies mmcblk0p31 file of 16kB size and total empty content, so I cant change any version to 1.20.720.1 and cant downgrade....
So how to solve this problem? Is it cause that first I need to get hboot 1.53 S-OFF? If so, how?
Im sorry but currently the only method to downgrade your hboot is AFTER you get s-off with wire trick. What kind of problem are you facing with the wire trick? It sometimes takes more than a couple of attempts to do it right

The first problem is that on all tutorials and vids the HTC EVO3D back look like this
Code:
h ttp:// htcevohacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/howto-downgrade-soff-htcevo3d-9-500x344.jpg
But my phone look like this - the SIMcard slot is just on the SD slot
Code:
ht tp:// syenceiction.7u.cz/IMG_20121001_165929.jpg
(sry for the code but im not allowed to post outside links yet...)
So i dont know if there is a way how to make the wire trick, because the SIMslot seems to be blocking the contact to SDcard...
And the second problem, this is what happens when I plug the phone to USB and run controlbear.exe:
======== ControlBear 0.6 beta for JuopunutBear S-OFF ==========
Starting up......
Connecting to device...
Searching device.....
Found device.....
Backing up......
Transferring backups....
Secondary backup FAILED!!
Press ENTER to exit.....

And here it ends and I can't do anything...USB Debugging enabled...
bro if you read through this thread the OP tells you that you have to ignore that failed warning and continue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466
and yes the method is a bit different for gsm phones.
http://unlimited.io/jb_shooteru.htm
you need to tap on the sim card metal slot instead of the sdcard one(in case of cdma)
...thanks... this needed to know. It's the first time im flashing evo3d, I sit whole day reading threads, tutorials and watching vids, so this went already out of me so I was surprised by the differences.
But in case of the controlbear.exe, I read whole post but I don't see anything about this error. How can I ignore it if the program stops with message "Press enter to exit" ?? I press enter, the window with program will close, so I run program as admin again and the same error is repeating...maybe its because actually the phone is on 20% battery so Im charging it now then i will try it with at least 75%...but...
Are you sure you are rooted? cause you need to be for this to work
If using windows make sure to run the program as admin.
unlimited.io is working for me
heres the file you need
Thans, I already find and downloaded, I have all the time the "GB" version.
Yes I think I rly am rooted...for root I followed the steps in the method B by friend.evil http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466 and installed exactly the superuser.zip file in step B9. Also I installed titanium Backup and other apps requiring root acces all working...
But strange was when I tried in adb.exe command "adb shell" then "#su" on th phone nothing happens - nothing like "super user permission granted" (I have it in other language than english so i dont know the form of the exact msg in eng").
//So now it looks like i made a big stupidity, I run the !GB" version of controlbear, everything was now working, phone restarted but because I realized that Im on ICS not GB ROM i Closed the controlbear when waiting for device...and the phone is now stuck on JuounutBear Screen.........
//So i can get to Hboot so it shouldnt be bricked, I will try to solve this reflashing boot.img via fastboot.

Thank you very much...I've just successfully performed the wire trick and have JuopunutBear HBOOT 1.53.7777 S-OFF....I wonder how someone can figure out some wire trick and other mods...its nice.
Hopefully now I should be able to downgrade the HBOOT to 1.49.0007...
Good luck with that
now i can finally go back to studying damn i hate my uni
GL too...
but still ther is the problem with copying mmcblk0p31.img to SDcard...Im still wondering why, if my microSD is bad or the ROM is bad or what...when trying this way from CMD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471246 this is doing my cmd:

Anyone knows why? why is the image size of 16kB and total empty? because there is no information about the version as it should be according to this http://cache.gyazo.com/a0c2a86fabf917602dbb82a1a6a93d82.png

Evo 3d repaired by HTC now htcdev cannot unlock or juopunotbear both fail

Hi and HELP!!
I have just got my evo 3d back from htc repairs and I now have HBOOT 1.53.007 I tried unlocking the HTCDev way but all I get is "writing 'unlocktoken'... FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)" so I tried juopontobear unlock method and that fails on step2. It seems HTC have locked this phone down really badly. I am not a noob at all I have tried searching but everything I find doesn't work? Any suggestions? Its a ShooterU Evo 3d GSM X515m with cid HTC_001 and firmware 3.28.401.1 with baseband 11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M and kernel 3.0.16-ge733189 If anyone has any ideas for something I could flash to make this dev unlock I would be much appreciated. I tried everything from Free 3VO_V2.zip found on here and it all fails even copying rom.zip to sdcard as PG58IMG.zip and flashing with hboot results in firmware older than current error message.
Thanks everybody
Did they stick in a new motherboard?
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
yes new mobo and screen is that bad?

From my understanding, htcdev will not work on a phone with a replaced motherboard.
So no chance of a custom rom on a phone with a replacement motherboard then?

For the CDMA model there's an hboot downgrade method to "brick" the phone to get S-OFF without doing the htcdev unlock, but I don't think an equivalent was developed for the GSM model.
ramjet73
perhaps your IMEI changed with the new mobo but didn't get the sticker replaced?
They don't change Sticker IMEI & Serial No. on Sticker & in about > Phone Identity are different.
It doesn't have problem with warranty but it has serious problems when unlocking.
I have sent my phone back to service with clear problem that IT IS Unlockable.
HTC service guys told me that warranty will be void, I said it's ok but make my phone Unlockable. Let's see what they do next
They did change sticker on mine the imei on sticker matched the imei of *#06# and about phone, but it was a new imei number. I got rid of it and got a Galaxy S2 now that has none of these BS problems HTC get.
this might sound daft...but have you emailed HTC about the problem? thank you for telling me about this though
any word on this? just got my phone back from HTC and I cannot unlock either

Yes.

From my understanding phones that are repaired by HTC are fully locked. I got rid of my Evo 3D because I just couldn't unlock it. I mean I wasted hours and hours trying everything on XDA to unlock it and I am no android noob. Annoying as it is but if your phone is fixed by HTC there is pretty much no chance of unlocking it for custom rom. I tried everything and ended up selling it and buying a Samsung Galaxy SII.

When did you try it? That method has only been available for about a week.
It's worked for others that cannot do the HTC unlock and unknownforce is working on version 3 with some enhancements. It's also worked for many Evo 3D CDMA users before and after the wire trick was available.
I suggest you post in that thread and explain what you've already tried, and make sure you are executing that procedure properly.
ramjet73
Ah ok if the method has only been available a week I guess I didn't try it as it was quite a while ago now. I did try downgrading HBOOT and everything gave me an error. I can't remember the exact error now as it was too long ago. Maybe this might work as I see they recently added support for evo 3d gsm. I think alot of the fixes when I was trying were for CDMA version only. My memory is bad. By all means give that a go but I am just saying I tried everything and couldn't get it to play ball so just sold the phone.

The developer of Kernel Tuner (pedja1) was in the same situation and was needing to unlock his GSM Evo 3D so he could continue development. Unknownforce worked with him and together they figured it out. He got to S-OFF directly without having to unlock.
Any GSM user with an Evo 3D that can't be unlocked using htcdev.com should read through that thread.

[Q] m7 tampered and relocked

hello everyone!
new guy here... i have searched, but I don't know exactly where to start with this phone.
basically, my friend bought this phone, and wanted to install some fancy schmancy app, that i guess required it to be rooted? he did something to the phone, don't know what, he doesnt know either.. he just followed directions he found online. it worked, for about 6 months, until all of a sudden it kept rebooting constantly. he needed a phone right away so he bought a moto X, and gave me this phone bc its useless to him.
now I have it, and am trying to recover some info for him off it (some notes and email addresses), and then I would like to make it into a international version, so I can use it on my travels to Europe this summer.
its currently on the fastboot screen, and it says:
***tampered****
***relocked****
m7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT - 1.55.0000
RADIO 4T.20.3218.13
OpenDSP v. 31.120.274.0617
OS-3.17.502.3
i have a tmobile HTC One myself, but have never rooted or messed with one, i would start from 0. i searched, but I got a bit confused, so I just wanted to see if I can save this phone. thank you all!
So I'm thinking that your friend went through the process of rooting his phone by the usual way...
Unlock bootloader > install custom recovery > flash a super user tool.
Seems like he wanted to return the phone to "stock" but instead of doing the process in reverse just simply relocked the bootloader. Which is probably why it's boot looping now, doubt it just started happening all of a sudden.
If you want to put an international Rom on the phone I suggest just unlocking the boot loader again. Though be warned unlocking the boot loader wipes the phones data so your not going to be able to recover your friends data.
There are plenty of guides in the HTC One forums on how to unlock the boot loader.
In order to do it your going to need the unlock code for the phone, which your friend must have received from htcdev.com you'll have to get it from him.

Sorry it took so long, but I finally managed to make something happen.
I followed your advice, and unlocked bootloader. After I did that, the phone tried to restart and after the HTC logo, the screen just goes black, and stays like that. I can see the screen is on though. I can restart it, by using power + vol down button, which makes the back and home buttons flash when I press those buttons.
is that what should happen?
wait nevermind.... i wasnt pressing the right button, so I wasn't going into the boot loader. slowly figuring it out... haha
opinion
in this cases be carefull avoid brick your HTC ONE unloke bootloader again an follor straight instructions and everithing should go otherwise
alright so I have a question for you guys...
the phone was an AT&T Phone... if i flash a Tmobile rom on it, and unlock the SIM, could I take advantage of 4G here in the US? I want to use it in Europe this summer, but now my wife wants to use it as her daily...
basically where im at now, as of a few days ago, i unlocked bootloader, installer TWRP, now trying to figure out what to do next... slowly learning the ways of rooting here.. you guys are of great help!

If you're on a stock rom, you could go to att website, then click on your phone and choose sim unlock. I believe it is an 8 digit code. For the 4g part, I don't know for sure but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Hi there, I attempted to unroot and go back to stock after encountering tiny bugs while using my HTC One M7 but I ran into some problems..
this is exactly what my htc one says on the bootloader:
"Tampered
Relocked
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.55.0000"
How do I go back to stock from where I am?
I would really appreciate any help, the camera started showing that common purple haziness a lot of people have seen and I really want to send my phone in for repair... and the warranty expires on June 23rd 2014.

Does your phone work / bootup?
if so just copy this rom to the phone and reboot to recovery and choose install
find the file and flash it ... choose to do a full wipe in Aroma if you want a fresh start on the new sense 6
