In the past I had an epic 4g and the root process was completely different. But I just got this phone and it was already rooted and is running a custom rom right now. I want to flash one of the jb rims but when I go into hboot it still says locked on the top of the screen. To my understanding doesn't the bootloader need to be unlocked in order to flash anything? (I can also boot into the 4ext recovery)

well if you already have 4ext recovery it shouldn't be a problem I GUESS try flashing from 4ext wont hurt you (i guess this custom rom is a ICS one)
Yes it is an ics rom which isn't bad I just want to try something new. And thanks will try and hope for the best lol

This is why. With s-off, unlocking the bootloader is no longer neccesary

Okay thank you I just wanted to make sure because of things I read and figured I better ask to get clarification since the people on here know a hell of a lot more than I do.
Thank you again

my girlfriend's phone just told her that there is an update available she has the latest software and hboot 1.5. The update is 9.3 mb. Does anyone know what this is? I downloaded it on her 3D, she is not unlocked or rooted. I rooted my 3D via 1.5 S-on HTC method. Is there a way to take it apart and analyze it. Heard rumors of random ota that revert hboot.

She still on 2.08 ? Why not update to 2.17 ? Then take root? The latest ota is 2.17 which updates a bit of stuff and removes the CIQ thingy....
Is there anything possibly in this that will help get s off? It is update. Maybe some clues. Can I upload the file via the XDA app?

I doubt it the guy that said he had a update of the such wasn't true...
His phone was a previously owned device that had S-off already the store sold him one that was returned in that 14day period...
So it was already rooted prior to him buying it.. With S-off lets you do some more playin around... The person that owned it before him had rooted it with the REV method on root... So that was how he been boucing back and forth on the hboot thing...

From what i heard , you dont need to relock or unroot then re-unlock, then re-root. You can just flash stock recovery and take the update, if bootloader gets locked then unlock it again.
I might be wrong but thats what i have heard.....i mean read.

happened to me before too, i think it really depends on who helps you, best buy people are nice about it though
Let's hope, because my phone is a brick unless the fix I try works, or someone swaps it out for me.
Either way, I think rooting isn't for me, if I ****ed it up this hard.

It'll un-root you. But have to use the same RUU that goes with your hboot. So it doesn't get affected.
Don't use RUU.exe's. It'll put you s-on... Unless that's what you want.

Why the ruse? If you are trading it in to Best Buy, then why does it matter if you are not rooted. They would probably prefer the phone s-on and stock anyway.

Ok guys, I've looked everywhere so don't flame me please, lol. My wife needs to return her phone cuz it won't hardly charge. How do I get back to stock? Meaning, where do I find the stock Rom, how do i do it etc. Thanks in advance for the help.

Even if the phone is rooted. If it's an actual charger port issue then Tmobile would replace it anyways. I think. But first return to STOCK by flashing the RUU. (I would give you a link but I'm sure you will find it faster on your computer then I would on my phone).
I'm never too sure though. I think there is a way to change the bootloader to-day "LOCKED" but idk what it was.

Hey have you flashed correct RUU.??
Bcoz many people tried it and it is worked for them very well..
Try again.
No issue of relocked.
Bcoz relock status will be shown if you lock your bootloader through oem lock process.
Try to follow next step...
