Okay so I used the SuperCID apk and it converted my CID to a bunch of Twos and then I used the HTC unlock method to unlock my phone. But after I select root my phone I'll void the warranty it boots into Android mode where I reboot it into recovery it says locked. It doesn't say relocked or unlocked it simply says locked like it never unlocked my phone even though it had just said it unlocked it maybe 2 minutes prior. Has anyone else had this problem? How do I fix it?
Can you try to explain what's happening a little bit better.

Did you flash the unlock_code.bin file?

Okay so I ran the SuperCID from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36976137 and it changed my CID to 22222222.
I then do "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" that I got from HTC and then select Yes on the prompt.
It then boots into normal android mode and then it goes through the normal setup. I then enable the debuging mode and then do
"adb reboot-bootloader" it then reboots into bootloder locked.

Is there a way for you to take a video of when you send the unlock token and click yes on your phone. Because I'm really not sure what's going wrong.

If you do a factory reset first from bootloader then unlock, it will work first time every time.......it'll wipe your SD tho. Once you have a custom recovery flashed don't use that method anymore tho

For me. I had to turn phone completely off. Then boot into HBOOT/Fastboot in order for the unlock to work. Make sure fast boot is unchecked in the power options before turning off.
In about three minutes this video should show a HTC DNA not unlocking even with SuperCID change and the correct file to unlock the phone with.
Code:
youtu.be/6P7mQ0rP-ms
Just keep at the command. Keep redoing it until it sticks. Took me 5 tries. Now I'm S-OFF & unlocked...with the OTA. Just keep doing it. It'll stick...eventually.

Thanks a lot turning it completely off actually did the trick. Now my next question is since I had to put on a custom recovery to install Super User now do I install a stock recovery so that it can do over the air updates now that I have S-Off. If it updates my stock rom with OTA will I have to flash a custom rom to root it again or will SU still be there because its S-Off?

I'm not sure why'd you want to take the ota, but yes, you'll need the stock recovery if you want to take it. Then you'll need to install a custom recovery and install a superuser package.
Having s off has nothing to do with superuser or the ota.

reboot into bootloader, make sure it says "fastboot usb" highlighted in red and the from the a command prompt type:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-1.1.1-recovery.img
it doesnt flash the recovery permanently but you should be able to get into recovery this way
All, I am sorry I didn't search more, but I am desperate. I go on travel in a few hours.
Long story short, my phone stopped working with 3g, I spent 4-5 hours on phone with sprint trying to fix. THey want it back to the store. It was HTC unlocked with Fresh. I used fastoot to do fastboot OEM lock, the phone rebooted and goes back to the bootloader screen, I can't get it to go back to Android
It says Tampered, Relocked, security warning. Please. Any help. Can I RUU from fastboot?
Yes
As long as you have the boot loader locked you can run the RUU, you can find the RUU in Android Developement.
Hook the phone to your computer, open a command prompt and type "adb reboot recovery" make sure USB debugging is checked. That should get you into TWRP recovery, then go from there.

After relocking the bootloader, I can no longer enter recovery. RUU doesn't seem to want to run because my phone is not up and running (it is already at fastboot prompt). Can I just get it to recognize my phone in fastboot mode somehow?

RUU is finally running now. Failed several times, and then just started working. I hope it works. Thank you everyone. Will post back
This happened to me as well. The only thing that I did that finally made it work, was to make sure that the path that I performed the fastboot oem lock command in was the path that contained the fastboot file.
When I did this, it would boot into my custom ROM and I was able to run the RUU without any problems.
When I would try to run the RUU from bootloader it would always tell me my battery was low, even though I was over 90%.
Happend to me too . I just ran ruu while in fastboot .

Sounds like you brick it.
Just take it to Sprint and tell them it was doing an OTA System Update and it rebooted now it's doing this. They will write it off as a hardware failure and send u a free replacement.
I'm pretty sure it's bricked if it fails when doing the RUU process.

Had a similar situation when I screwed something up myself. If you're able to get I to bootloader still (try holding power button down til bottom lights blink and phone shuts off, then holding volume down and power combo gets you into bootloader which don't know if you've tried or not) set it to fastboot, connect to your computer so it says "fastboot usb" and run command (i believe its "fastboot lock oem_token" or something like that) to relock your bootloader and then keep it connected and try to run the ruu on your computer....hope that helps. Its at least worth a try....

Did you re-lock the bootloader prior to trying to run the RUU? You have to re-lock the bootloader to run a RUU, as I understand it. Also, a custom recovery will prevent the RUU from working.

No, you can still do a RUU with a custom recovery. The bootloader just has to be locked. None of this process takes place in recovery, it's all in the bootloader. Plug your phone in and try typing in "adb reboot bootloader" and see what happens. Also you have to relock the bootloader before you run a ruu. To do that you would have to be in fastboot and type in "fastboot oem lock" and that will lock the bootloader.

If you still have power and any display then things are still ok. In fact I rooted my wife's LTE just a couple weeks ago and it ended up shut off, no power, nothing would do anything BRICK... and I followed this guide and I was able to not only get it to turn back on but STILL achieved root with S - off!!!!
I know it's supposed to only be for when stuck in QUALCOMM DIAG but hey it might still help.
http://unlimited.io/lteunbricker.htm
Before I went to that extreme though I would try first holding the power button down for a while. I have found it to be a bit easier to know things are going as they should when I keep it plugged into my computer or just plugged in. That way after you've held the power button down long enough you will see the screen go black, and the red charging light will come on.... keep holding the VOL down button and let go of the power at that point. Then I just count to three, then I start pushing the power down and holding for 1 sec and then let go and push right back down on it and repeat until I am in BOOTLOADER.
I would think that basically if you follow what Mac_Gyver lays out really well in this thread:

I think you won't have any problems... I hope things work out for you, and I don't know it all but I will help all I can!!

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.

Flash the lock boot loader zip as you would if flashing a ROM.
After that, do the RUU instructions, then s-on (fastboot OEM write secure flag 3). It is pretty simple.
