[Q] AT&T RUU/Bootloader and HTCDev - HTC One X+

I have a rooted AT&T One X+ that I unlocked via HTCDev when I first got it and now run Elegencia. I'd like to update to the newest RUU (to get the radio/hboot/all the new stuff) before updating my phone again (running an older Elegencia version currently). I understand that running the RUU will wipe the SD card/phone/recovery/everything and bring me back entirely to stock and will relock the bootloader. My problem is that I don't have the unlock token from HTCDev anymore for the bootloader. Does anyone know if it's still possible to unlock the bootloader for an AT&T One x+ via HTCDev or did they close that loophole??? Or is there a way for me to recover the unlock token?
Thanks!

I want to do the same and from what I have read you can still unlock from HTCDev after updating.
The only thing I don't know is do you need to relock the bootloader before running the RUU?

I don't think you need to relock before running the RUU, it should do it itself I would think.
I've also done some more reading and I'm also wondering if it's really worth it....looks like you can flash the radio. May just pass on having to deal with unlocking/that whole thing again.

You have to relock bootloader and then you are able to run the ruu. If bootloader is unlocked and you try to run the ruu the setup will not complete and fail.
Have you tried to obtain the unlock.bin from the HTC website again since it was deleted?

Thanks for the tip on the bootloader, didn't know that.
How would I get the unlock.bin from the website again? I looked around HTCDev and couldn't find it anywhere.

No problem
This is where I got my unlock.bin to unlock my bootloader. The steps are very easy, Go here http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader and where it says "Select device" select 'Other supported models' and follow the on screen steps. Then they will email you your unlock.bin to unlock your bootloader

OK so I need to go through the process again, I thought there'd just be a way to get the bin file again without having to do it again, oh well.
Guess question becomes whether it's really worth it or not....

You can update the radio without having to lock your bootloader and be able to update roms

Hope this helps people others comming sooon i have slow internet
Let's hope that nobody will be needing these with the exception of obtaining S-OFF and ROM production.
I added some tags for you too.
All ruus released enjoy
md5's for the ruu's added so enjoy but remeber you need to htc relock your boot loader before you can restore
Have you are anyone tested the relock? Frrom what I remember on previous ones I thought you could not relock like the nexus one.
But basically relock then flash these thru bootloader and you are back to the way has came out the box?

I tested that script on an unbiased Windows 7 machine.
Unbiased means that it had nothing but the drivers installed. No adb or fastboot files.
I wanted to clean it up and make it look better but x was in a hurry to release it for whatever reason.
Well clean up and I will reupdate it

Sorry for sounding like a n00b and redundancy but just wanted to make sure I understand this right before I make any changes on device.
The relocker posted by xboarder and binary, does that completely reverse the HTC bootloader unlock done the HTC dev site?
Assuming it does, that does mean we can get the regular updates to device again?
Sorry again if is redundant but just want to make sure there is a 100% way of returning to stock software very much like my vibrant / g2 / hd2

I've tried installing this via hboot both unlocked and relocked and it doesn't actually do anything. it checks the image then just goes back to hboot. Any Idea what I'm doing wrong?
I am trying to get my Telus Amaze back to stock. I have re locked the phone it says so in the hboot menu. I have downloaded the RRU for Telus and it is on the root of my SD card. When I boot into hboot I see the progress bar in blue on the right hand side, then it goes into yellow verifiying, then it just stops no option to install the update.... It just isn't working.. any thoughts?

update with a rooted dna

Curious, as I have seen conflicting points-Can the update from verizon be installed to a rooted phone or not? How about from the stock Verizon rom (de-bloated) on a rooted phone, or relocking the phone/back to stock and getting it? I thought I read that if you get the update on a stock DNA you can no longer unlock it with the present methods, is that true or false? Anyone know for sure? Lastly what does the update get you?
You need to have stock Rom and recovery to update.
And if you update a DNA that has never been unlocked before then you won't be able to unlock your DNA. But if you've unlocked before then your fine.

As long as you have unlocked your bootloader before the ota visit this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2152993 and it will tell you how to re-unlock and update the firmware and unlock, but make sure you have your original Unlock_code.bin file before you proceed because if you take the ota and you havent unlocked your bootloader before you will be stuck for a long time

Of all the times I don't spend hours researching, this is one of them where I screwed myself. I had my bootloader unlocked before the OTA and I am going to be "stuck for a long time". LOL I read several articles (not here - my own idiocy) on the OTA update and the "how tos" on going back to stock to get it, etc etc... Not one mentioned to reunlock after performing the RUU, then doing the OTA..... didn't find out I was screwed until the CID couldn't be read and the my Unlock_bin failed. So this is what it feels like again to be on a bloated phone, full of VZW crap..lol

[Q] Unlocked Bootloader disabled?!?!?

So, I received my HTC One today, and quickly fired it up and tried to unlock the bootloader. I downloaded the All-In-One-Toolkit from the international HTC One forum (which many said would work for the AT&T One). I was able to copy and paste my Token ID, but every time I try to submit it, I keep getting an error. I'm assuming HTC laid the kibosh on unlocking the AT&T bootloader So, I was wondering if anyone received their One today, were you able to unlock your bootloader? Thanks so much.

Yeah, I went that route as well and was able to unlock it. Now, I need to try to figure out why my CWM won't work. I pushed via cmd and it shows as being installed, but every time I boot in recovery, it just boots back in to the main screen. Have yall had success in installing a custom recovery?

Bootloader to show "Locked"

Dudes,
Too many dead pixels dying on my phone and ATT is sending me another replacement device through warranty. I RUU'd and brought everything back to normal from the CID, hboot, radio, and back to s-on but I cannot get my bootloader to show "Locked". It just shows relocked. Im certain I cannot send it back to them saying relocked. Ive searched and maybe im not searching good enough. Care to share some commands?
"fastboot oem lock" only relocks it.
I restored the phone to 3.17 firmware and RUU but before I update it to the 4.3 id like it to show locked. Any help is appreciated.
Edit: Nevermind I found my answer. Read that this was not possible.

If you're s-off it is totally possible there's a command for it built right in to revone.

Something went wrong and now I have a message in hboot that says "security warning" and tampared over the words "locked".

So right now it's unlocked with tampered above an s-off. Is it wise to lock bootloader first before I run ruu? Which order should I go? I know s-on is last for sure...

For anyone that's searching for this exact issue ill share what i did to get my phone completely back to stock. I did search the forum but the info was all over the place and in my opinion it was as clear as "I" needed it to be hence me creating a thread for something so simple. Ok as follows here is what I did step by step.
First I had to make sure I installed HTC sync of course. At the moment my firmware was 3.57 and I downloaded the 3.17 RUU.exe from HTC.com
Your firmware *HBOOT* and the RUU you download have to match or you will get errors. Well, least I did.
Make sure you download some type of toolkit it would make life a lot easier. I used this one it worked like a charm!
At the moment, my phone is bootloader unlocked and s-off fyi.
Next, Use the tool to "lock" your bootloader first not "re-lock" just "lock". If you're having issues push revone again and follow commands on toolbox.
Now, check hboot to see if it shows "locked" if it has tampered above locked that's ok the RUU will take care of that.
Run, the RUU, make sure usb debugging on and htc sync already installed. Let it run.
After its done, start up phone again, turn off fastboot under "power" and turn usb debugging on again.
Start up toolkit, look to the right and it will say "s-on" device. You can only s-on after you've ran the RUU and are on stock hboot and rom.
Check Hboot again and it should read "Locked" and now "s-on".
Phone now ready to send back for warranty or etc.
Hope this helps anyone that searches. I found a few thread via google and they helped out a bunch.

[Q] Rooting after new OTA......

I tried to wipe/factory reset then install stock 2.17.605.2 RUU last night from .exe file. Wouldn't let it load due to updated bootloader. I also tried flashing unlock_code.bin from previous unlock experience with Hasoon2000's toolkit without luck as well as running through mdmower's unlock script with attempt to change CID. Also HTCdev just gives me an error now when trying to get a new unlock token... ugh. I'm guessing I probably need root to modify bootloader to revert to old to unlock it... so probably just screwed until someone smarter figures out a way to unlock the new bootloader...

Hopefully you at least have data service now. Unless you can manage SuperCID, you might be out of luck for a while. I hope I'm wrong about that.
I am now curious if anyone who is s-off installed the OTA (either accidentally or intentionally) and retained s-off. In theory, if you're s-off you can recover from nearly anything. (I will admit that I have absolutely no desire to try it for myself)

How were you able to get the CID to change? I followed the CID change script manually using temp-root and DD commands through shell with a hex editor and it would NOT change the CID although I was given no errors. Crazy.

I used DirtyRacun back on the 2nd OTA to obtain s-off, and DirtyRacun does not require the SuperCID method. I have not done anything with the latest OTA, as it isn't worth the risk to me... I somehow doubt that the DirtyRacun will work with the latest OTA, but I do not recall seeing anyone post that they have tried it, either.
