My device updated, but here I am, with S-off intact. Device says relocked, root isn't there, but bootloader still says s-off. Can I somehow regain root and unlock? I'm assuming I can't install ROMs right now because of this?

Flash custom recovery in fastboot. Then flash super user in recovery.

Is there a command to unlock the bootloader with s-off without having to wipe all of my data and everything?
There is no need to unlock. S-off is all that you need. It can do anything.

It actually would not let me flash recovery without having the bootloader unlocked again. It was disappointing and erased my data... grrr

You need root to get s-off. The only people who had root were people on the shipped rom when the phone came out. Every OTA since has not had root, let alone temp root that the shipped rom had. So you absolutely need HTC Dev unlock to get s-off, and yes if you havent done it yet, it will wipe the phone. Thems the breaks.

Not what I meant. I already had s-off and it relocked. It then would not allow me to install amon ra. I was asking if there was a different fastboot command to just change it to unlock now since we have soff.

I had to unlock too but reused my token.
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code. is the command
Edit: My bad this probably isn't what you were looking for.
I didn't have to re-unlock.
I asked about this in the discussion thread but was never answered.
I just fastboot flash recovery .zip
and HBOOT flashed my roms boot.img and I was back with the addition of S-OFF
I've flashed several Roms since, while my HBOOT still says Tampered, Locked, S-OFF.
Finally, since I'm on ICS, I flashed the Juopunutbear modified HBOOT.
Everything seems to be open and working fine without re-unlocking.

Not sure if you still need this but i just used the rezound AIO to flash amon again right after and worked fine no unlock. Tho I still have my bin file if I need it.
afaik if you did s-off and you're on GB firmware, you need the ENG Hboot to flash recoveries using fastboot commands, otherwise you have to use PH98IMG.zip's... but that's just what i see, i'm not 100%.
I unlocked the bootloader on my Rezound a few hours ago, but ever since then it has been stuck in a bootloop. I wasn't on stock though, so did that have anything to do with it? I've tried reflashing the ROM, and that doesn't help.
How did you flash another ROM without unlocking your bootloader?
Agreed.. If you weren't on stock then your bootloader must have been previously unlocked.. what Rom are you using/trying to use.? You need to have a custom recovery installed after you unlock, you couldn't have flashed a rom from stock recovery..

Bootloader was locked, but it was unlocked previously, and a custom recovery had been installed. When I got the phone, it was rooted, S-Off, and on the stock ROM. It had Amon Ra's recovery already installed, but again, as I said the bootloader was locked.
EDIT: Oh and the ROM I was using (successfully before the unlock) was CounterShrike.

Well first off if you were s-off why did you need to unlock your bootloader? What hboot are you using?

Collin is right.
All you really need to do is wipe everything and flash a ROM. Since you are s-off everything else will be taken care of.

Okay. I haven't really been using HTC devices so I didn't know what S-Off actually did. I went ahead and fixed it with the RUU.

I achieved s-off with dirty racun but I have not been able to get into recovery or flash a ROM. I am wondering if my bootloader didn't get unlocked.

i guess you didnt realize why there are only roms posted in this section
1. You should know for a fact when you unlock your bootloader as is says TAMPERED big as hell after you do it. 2. You need to flash a recovery via adb "fastboot flash recovery.img" because your phone does not come stock with a recovery so it will not appear if you haven't flashed one. 3. You clearly posted in the wrong section and if you don't take time to read (rules and guides step by step) around here you most likely won't be helped and you may even get made fun of.

Have you rooted your phone, or have you only run Dirty Racun? Gaining S-off and root are not the same, and Dirty Racun won't root your phone. You have to unlock your bootloader, flash a custom recovery and the proper su binary to attain root, at which time you can flash ROM's, etc.

Need help with flash a recovery. Re-locked by phone and flash 2.13 RUU so I could get the OTA. After getting the OTA I unlocked again and trying to get root and nothing is working. When I use the command "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.1.8-jewel.img or fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-jewel.img" it keepingsaying "sending 'recovery' (7220 KB)..." and never happens. It just sits there. The OTA installed hboot 2.09. Anyone have any ideas what is going on and does anyone else have the same problem after taking the OTA.
Did you try flashing recovery through bootloader at all?

Thanks for the reply. I have it working now. In fastboot mode the drivers provided no longer work. I had to download and install HTC Sync with the latest driver. The I was able to install a recovery (TWRP) system. With the posted drivers would not work.

So before I could get to s-off my phone or flash a custom ROM I figurrd the vibration on my brand new ONE does not work. I did get to unlock bootloader flash twrp and root, now I need to return to %100 stock to return my phone. I flashed back to stock recovery but I still have 'tampered' 'unlocked' bootloader. Can I relock and remove tampered without being s-off? Also if I take latest OTA will that relock my bootloader??

Only way to remove it is doing the s-off, afterward I belive u can relock everything... I used rumrunner to change the s-off and then the revone method to clear the tampered flag on the bootloader.
- lookup remrunner
Then lookup HTC ONE Toolkit 2.0,by squabbi... The tool kit helps for someone lazy on the shell commads

Sadly you have to reunlock your bootloader. That's why I never relock it can't flash recoveries.
