I have S-off and my hboot reads 2.21 .0000. I've noticed on other people's devices the hboot is 2.11.1111. What's the difference?

Once I get S-OFF I can just flash the latest GB OTA RUU and that should bring me back to HBoot 2.11?
I'm already on ICS firmware but want to go back to out of the box stock GB.

Yap. The ruu will drop you back to 2.11 and also reinstall the older radios. I did this right after obtaining S-OFF to start with a fresh phone. I am now on GB firmware(ENG hboot) running ICS using the old firmware patch.

So you ran the full gb ruu and your hboot downgraded to 2.11 but still s-off/locked correct? Then you fastboot flashed the 2.11 eng hboot correct?
Just asking because I will try this later.

Ok, I'm confused on one thing, at what points from s-off to gb ruu to eng hboot do I have to lock and relock?

I just tried this running the juopunutbear modified hboot 2.21 s-off locked. I ran the full gb ruu, bootloader no longer said juopunutbear, it just showed a stock 2.11 locked s-off. I flashed the 2.11 eng hboot in fastboot. Now it shows locked, hboot 2.11 eng s-off. No issues at all. I never once had to unlock.

Ok but right now I'm on ICS firmware from the ICS Leaked RUU and HBoot 2.21 and at the top of the bootloader it says Tampered ReLocked.
So your saying that at no point do I need to unlock? I'm gonna go home and s-off the run the GB OTA RUU and then flash Amon Ra recovery and possibly flash ENG HBoot, and I don't need to unlock?

The unlock is useless once you obtain s-off.
The ***tampered*** is showing because you are still using the stock 2.21 hboot. If you flash the juopunutbear modified hboot in fastboot you will no longer see the ***tampered*** or the ***locked*** in the hboot, it will only show Juopunutbear at the top.
here are 3 pictures to better explain using the 2.21 hboot.
left: unlocked/s-on/tampered.
middle: locked/s-off/tampered
right: s-off/juopunutbear
juopunutbear is a modified 2.21 hboot, almost like a eng hboot for ONLY ics firmware,
make sense?
Yes but do I have to take the jbear hboot during s-off? I just want to go back to GB and I don't mind using the GB HBoot. I may try the ENG HBoot after I'm on GB HBoot.

rename jb_hboot.zip found in the "controlbear" folder to PH98IMG.zip and flash it as you normally flash a PH image.
that will change your hboot to their modified version where is says juopunutbear.

i did not take it. i flashed it manually as i heard others saying it did not flash. so i skipped it and did it myself.
as far as downgrading a stock hboot 2.21 s-off to to stock 2.11 s-off i do not know...i see no reason why you cannot?
the gb ruu will give you a stock 2.11 anyway while keeping your status to s-off.
i will try later tonight. i just came back from the doctors a little nauseated from some meds....

No authority here, but just passing along a couple of things as they were explained to me:
1. Even with S-off, you might not be able fastboot flash (installing recovery, for example) while locked. Alternatives would be to either unlock, install the ENG HBOOT, or flash with PH98IMG.zip.
2. Also, I believe there was a big note in a thread saying that you could brick your phone by relocking over the ENG HBOOT. The instructions were to restore the correct HBOOT for your configuration before relocking.
As for me, I decided that I do enough flashing that I want fastboot commands to work, and I'm less afraid of resetting everything to restore my phone to factory "LOCKED" indicator than I am afraid of reflashing the only thing that absolutely must be intact to keep from bricking the phone. So I unlocked the stock loader despite having s-off already.

#1 is definitely up for debate but so far I have had no issues using fastboot to flash recoveries and kernels. I tested this stock hboot 2.11 and 2.21 with locked s-off.
#2 I was advised not to try when this question was asked from another thread. I would not even want to. the chances of big brother actually checking for s-on/s-off or locked/unlock/relocked is slim to none.....i would not even bother with an s-on command.
I am currently locked on 2.11 eng s-off running RezROM S4 v1.1 with his firmware patch. phone has great battery life, no data loss and operates much much cooler
Hey!
Well im about to send my old phone back and ran the RUU then did the s-on procedure. i relocked my bootloader and says relocked.... i ran ruu again and says the same thing! any suggestion?
Do you think verizon would charge me for this?

i've never heard of a returned phone being rejected for any reason other than physical damage. and if you are super worried about it there is a link to hex edited hboots.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853871 you already s-on'd so you might have to s-off again. not sure about that part though

I think you might have to s-off. Downgrade to GB or a lower ICS RUU. Lock it. s-on. then do the ICS RUU. Should be back to locked and s-off.

Not of after you S-OFF. When you do, the bootloader locks automatically, and says LOCKED not RELOCKED.

So I am already s-off. Can I run the latest ICS RUU, then s-on? Will that send me back to a totally looking stock phone?
Why not just flash one of the missed hboots that says locked and s-on when you're actually s-off? I had mine unlocked and s-off and then made it s-on and sent it back in to Verizon and they sent me another one, no questions asked. Don't worry about it.

Might help to think of HTC Dev Unlock and JuopunutBear S-Off as the two "gatekeepers", the two tools in the Rezound's current arsenal that affect the security flag. The security flag starts off as "locked" on a stock phone.
HTC Dev Unlock will alter the security flag to show "unlocked", and running the code to lock it back will now show it as "relocked".
JuopunutBear S-Off will reset the security flag back to "locked" no matter what the flag reads, and alter the "S-On" flag to "S-Off".
So to get back to a stock "S-On/Locked" from any of these states:
"S-On/Unlocked or Relocked"
If you are S-On and have used HTC Dev Unlock, you will need to do S-Off to get the "Locked" message back. Run a RUU, then do S-On procedure.
"S-Off/Locked"
If you are S-Off but have *not* used HTC Dev Unlock after the S-Off procedure, you should just need to run a RUU and do S-on.
"S-Off/Unlocked or Relocked"
If you are S-Off and have used HTC Dev Unlock since the S-Off procedure, you must run a RUU, re-lock the bootloader if you have not done so before, and do S-On. Then, do the S-off procedure (keep the stock bootloader, do not flash a modded one) and do S-on again.

So I was s-off and unlocked. I just flashed the latest ICS RUU. Now you are saying I need to lock my bootloader and then s-on? Then s-off with the wire trick again, then s-on one more time? Will this all work with the latest RUU I have installed?
It sounds too complicated to get rid of the "RELOCKED" sign...
My phone is S-off and unlocked. How can I restore it to stock and have it show locked and not relocked?

I am s-off. It still said relocked.
I got i done by turning S-On then doing the wire trick to get S-Off then flashing the stock GB rom. Now it says locked and not relocked.
Just curious why would you even want to do that? Is it due to warranty issues?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
Because when I'm ready to sell the device I would prefer it to be 100% stock or if I return for warranty. It is good now. I had the amaze for over a year and just recently modified it. I'm still running stock because everything is just too buggy.

Cool, I don't anticipate ever having to relock my phone but I was thinking of flashing to a standard Hboot just because. I like to minimize the possible ways i can brick my phone.
I'm no dev anyway and I don't think there is any possible reason I would need to have the ENG Hboot on my phone. So thumbs up to flashing the newer hboot then!

The 2.04 and 1.15 hboot are the same you can if you want to... ive done it w/o any problems you wont lose s-off or unlocked but you arent going to gain anything either
download the 2.04 hboot place it where you would for any adb/fastboot command
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Code:
fastboot flash zip PL83IMG.zip
when the terminal says its done wait a few seconds (the green bar wont fill up 100% so dont worry it will stick at about 3/4 the way)

fastboot oem boot

The only way to get tampered removed as of today is to flash the ENG hboot unless someone (regaw) makes a stock hboot plugin for his bootloader customizer

You need to unlock, s off, flash 1.44 hboot, make sure CID is CWS__001, then RUU. Then lock boot loader and s on

Now that its stock DE 4.3, how do i go back to ATT? Root, unlock, recovery, flash 4.1.2 rom and ruu back lock bootloader? May just end up sending the a DE phone haha
