[How To] Get Out of Security Warning (after "fastboot lock oem" from HTCDev unlock)
Note: This has only been tested on an Hboot 1.5 Evo 3D CDMA, results may vary
Okay so this morning I wanted to flash MeanRom, but saw that I needed to update to the latest firmware, and that I had to lock my phone, get the firmware, unlock, and flash likewise. I hooked my phone to the PC, entered fastboot, and executed the "fastboot oem lock" command. After that, my phone showed "Relocked" and under it "Security Warning", and wouldn't boot into the system or recovery, only fastboot. Here is what I did to fix...
1. Find my unlock token for my phone
-Sidenote, for those that dont have it, log in to your HTCDev and pretend like you want to unlock your phone again. Skip until you get to the section where it tells you to use the "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" command, get your token, follow HTCDev's steps and get your unlock token (What I had to do)
2. Enter fastboot and fastboot flash unlocktoken "whatever-you-named-your-token.bin" (without quotes)
3. There you have it, you can now access your phone again. I was frantic before common sense kicked in (If LOCKING did this, I wonder what UNLOCKING would do? Hmmm?)
This isn't the next "Unbrickable Mod" but I googled for almost 2 hours and didnt find a post that told how to do this anywhere.

So you couldn't update your phone?

After getting the Unlock code
After getting the unlock code attachment from my email from HTCDev, I try to use the fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin, but to no avail.
Aureolus-Medice:rootevo3dnew jlrdz$ fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
-bash: fastboot: command not found
So I tried to use ./fastboot-mac since I'm on a mac, and this shows:
Aureolus-Medice:rootevo3dnew jlrdz$ ./fastboot-mac flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
error: cannot load 'Unlock_code.bin'
It's different because it shows that error on the loading instead of "command not found" in the first one.
Please help. Thank you
P.S. my phone's info is that it only loads to fastboot and displays this:
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***

You can also just run the RUU from that point, It'll flash a new locked bootloader anywho, Unlock after that, Less steps.
Get rit off Security Warning if u wanna take an official update on HTC ONE X
Hey guys, let me share how a succed to escape off that annoyng notification SECURITY WARNING in Hboot menu and update to 3.18.401.1
1- do not Relock your bootloader, because fastboot command wont work( i did that and i could not do even a factory reset)
2- i opened a CMD in folder that i have download OneX Root.zip and I flash the stock recovery. Many of you know how to do this. After the usual restart, i checked softwere update, and it work to instal . WITHOUT BRICKING
The command is: C:\Users\Stefan\Downloads\OneXRoot> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
It work for me, i own a HTC One X(Europe). Sorry for bad english.

Hey guys you don't have to go through all that trouble to update the firmware unless you are s-on for s-off it is just a simple flash from a bootloader zip. I bounce between bootloaders depending on the ROM I use.
If you are not s-off I would suggest doing it. Life becomes so much easier once you are s-off and the process is not hard.

2. When you see this:
JuopunutBear S-OFF success
Installing JuopunutBear hboot.....
(To verify, your screen should say *** LOCKED *** at this point anyways, we just want to stop it before the following happens)
Press CTRL+C or unplug your data cable to prevent JuopunutBear from flashing it's hboot which replaces *** LOCKED*** with *** JuopunutBear ***

This is a good reminder for users that there is a way to get rid of the "***RELOCKED***" status that is a flag to HTC/Sprint that your phone was unlocked at some point by using the JuopunutBear (wire trick) method for S-OFF.
You should get a prompt from the controlbear utility after performing the wire trick asking if you want the JBear bootloader and can just reply "N" to that to stay with the stock bootloader and show the "***LOCKED***" status. Even if you take the JBear version the bootloader is still locked, and will show that way if you flash a stock bootloader. Once you are S-OFF it's easy to change bootloaders, so it really isn't too critical which bootloader you choose during the wire trick process.

If you had the Revolutionary or some other custom bootloader before it was probably hiding the "*** LOCKED ***" status with its name even though your bootloader was actually locked. The custom bootloaders ignore the locked status and support the fastboot commands that normally require an HTC unlocked stock bootloader.

Does this method work in HTC Evo 3D GSM?
Hi all,
that's my first post and I hope that sb. will help me.
Well, I connected my HTC Desire X with the All-In-One kit, and then I clicked Relock Bootloader.
Now, when I'm turning on my phone I just can see the bootloader with the title:
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***
The problem is that I can't escape it, and I even can't open the recovery....
I just wan't to normally turn my phone on...
CID: T-MOD009
HBOOT: 1.24.0000
ROM:~|Half-Sense|~™ V0.8.1 by MaartenXDA
flash tmobile ruu othrwise you must unlock bootloader again flash recovery and install again your custom rom
All right, my phone is working.
I am a noob with this, but yesterday I have successfully unlocked my phone, and rooted it with TWRP.
For some reasons I have unrooted my phone and relocked the bootloader.
Now I am stuck on a tampered, relocked and s-on phone.
I have a HTC One mini
Sense 5.5
4.4.2 Kitkat
My bootloader says:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** RELOCKED ***
M4_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.21.0000
and so on...
I have searched EVERYWHERE and I can't find anything for my phone. I can only find fixes for the HTC One since it's more popular.
I still don't understand how you could unlock a relocked bootloader with s-on. And make it into s-off when it's not rooted and has a relocked bootloader.
Can someone please help me unlock the bootloader and root my phone again? Thanks!
Hello! First time user here. I have an AT&T HTC One M7 with an unlocked sim (using with T-mobile). The only thing I have done is unlock bootloader (with S-on) through HTCdev. I've decided to return the phone in favor of the Google Nexus 5. My question is how do I return the phone ***LOCKED*** bootloader and not relock with S-on?
Also, in recovery mode my phone shows: ***UNLOCKED***
Any help is plenty!
Thanks

Thanks for the reply! and yeah, I've been reading around that it shouldn't be a problem returning a phone relocked versus locked. I'm definitely gonna go that route now. Thanks again :good:
