When I tried to relock my phone it said it was already locked. Then when I went to unroot it It wouldn't reboot into the bootloader and everybody is saying that that means its still locked. My phone doesn't say unlocked or locked because when I first got my phone there was a tool that made it to where you could change what it said on boot. I can't find that tool anymore and I can't figure out what to do. Can anyone help me?
You should be able to Oem relock threw fastboot then run the RUU. That would put it back to factory state. When the RUU is finished the bootloader should say S-On no matter what mods was done while unlocked..
Maybe someone else could offer better advice.

Try to see if can go into bootloader onto fastboot and type "Fastboot OEM lock" and it should reboot after verified. Then try to fastboot the RUU if can't thur bootloader.

Tried searching and couldn't find anything relavent to help.
I have an HTC EVO 3D (Hboot 1.5) running on Sprints network,
I unlocked my bootloader using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
I am trying to unroot my phone and relock the bootloader. A factory reset only brings me to the Bootloader screen and doesn't actually reset anything. Also I'd like to know if theres a way to reset the bootloader to say **Locked* instead of **Relocked*.
It would be nice if I was able to simply flash PG86IMG zip to reset everything back to pure old stock goodness.
Well to "unroot" the phone in sure you can just flash the RUU of 2.3.4 either through SD or fastboot. As for relocking it from what I've heard you simply cannot at this point. That's what Htc says and also what i've heard around in a couple of these types of threads.
Hope I helped a bit.
If im not mistaken, HTC has a relock method too. When you finish the unlocking process there should be a option to relock your device at the end of the tutorial.
First relock then flash ruu it will just say relocked.

Possible file corruption. Download again from another source, and if it keeps happening then extract the .img files and flash from fastboot in this order:
boot, system, userdata, recovery
and see if that fixes it.
Still didn't work is there another way

i just did this 5 minutes ago. i ran the ruu.exe while my phone was in hboot and it didnt even check my current version, worked perfectly, you need to "fastboot oem lock" first though. i was getting errors when i tried to run the ruu while in the android system.
now im trying to figure out how to re-unlock it
edit... wow, that was so easy, i just typed "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin"
unlocked again
i had the same problem but i got the ruu to run now im updated but now the unlocking is being a ***** (cannot load 'Unlock_code.bin') is what it keeps saying

Ok this might seem dumb but did you type it exactly as I have it in the post above yours, its case sensitive and it needs the _ between the unlock_code. And fastboot oem unlock isn't a valid fastboot command.
Also, which ruu did you use, I think this matters, I used the 2.17 from here http://www.filefactory.com/f/4ef0ef536face67a/
I think its the 7th one down.

I just purchased an evo lte off Craigslist and I would like to put it back to stock. When I try to enable wifi it says there is an error. In the bootloader it says tampered, unlocked, s on, hboot 1.19.0000 also it has twrp recovery.
What steps do I need to take to get back to completely stock as it would be from the store. Thanks

If I'm correct the bootloader will always say tampered unlocked unless you use the tool to rename it...look in original development section...its by Regaw something. You can run the RUU but all the info will be in original development on returning to stock
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
The tool to edit hboot is by regaw_lienad, but it will only work on s-off hboot. You are s-on. Tampered means it's rooted. If you want unrooted stock out of the box, need to run 1.19 RUU. Check the stickies.

Do I have to lock the bootloader before running the ruu?
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
You do have to relock the bootloader through fastboot. Fastboot OEM lock. Then if it boots up afterwards put back in fastboot to run the RUU. I have done this multiple times with success. Afterwards it will not say tampered, but it will.say relocked instead of locked. But I've sent mine into sprint several times for repair and even got a replacement device

I'm a Samsung guy but to stop it saying 'relocked' could you not rewrite that ,before you lock it ? Not changing the command, just the writing it puts up ?

After I re locked the bootloader I had a tough time getting the ruu to run. I ended up having to hook the phone up to the computer in the fast boot screen. The ruu finally ran successfully and I'm now completely back to stock. Thanks for the help!
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
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

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 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.
