There are many threads that I have read through...
when I fastbooted and so forth... I typed in the command box fastboot oem lock and that did nothing.
From what I read, you need to flash the lock boot loader zip to lock it.. Fastboot oem lock command won't work apparently if you have S-offed.

Copy the "lock bootloader zip" onto root of internal storage and flash in recovery of your choice
Whos internal storage? SD card on the phone?

No worries now guys, I suppose now I have to give Verizon a damn good reason as to why my phone was rooted as hell. I have a decent alibi created.
Flash the lock boot loader zip as you would if flashing a ROM.
After that, do the RUU instructions, then s-on (fastboot OEM write secure flag 3). It is pretty simple.

You can't lock the boot loader by fastboot commands, you needed to lock it by flashing the lock zip in recovery.

Are you in HBOOT when you try to relock? You should be. Also if you have a custom recovery you're going to have to RUU.

Easiest way to ignore the mainver is to get the kernel(boot.img) from the RUU or whatever ROM you're trying to flash. Then boot the phone into HBOOT, plug into your pc, and issue the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (In DOS/Command Prompt). That will flash the kernel without dealing with the mainver issue.
Thanks everyone, I finally got the new ota radios and running clean rom 1.6. Patience was the key. I got my mainvers down to 1.00.000.0 as I was referred and WaaLaahttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467099

Have you already unlocked your bootloader? Sounds like it's still looking for a signature, which indicates your hboot is still locked.

Have you tried flashing it as PG86IMG.zip from hboot? I think you can do that on hboot 1.5, although I'm not 100% sure. Are you sure the downloads are good? Checked md5?

reboot into bootloader, make sure it says "fastboot usb" highlighted in red and the from the a command prompt type:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-1.1.1-recovery.img
it doesnt flash the recovery permanently but you should be able to get into recovery this way
so people have asked me a lot, here is what you do if your device is S-ON
You NEED AN EXTERNAL SD CARD
1- Download the ICS RUU and rename it "PH85IMG"
2- put in external sd card
3- Relock bootloader by typing - " fastboot oem lock"
4- once your bootloader is relocked you will be able to apply the update
any questions feel free to ask
NOTE
if you don't have anything unlocked you just put it on to your sd card. Either ext_sd or sdcard2 in astro
Pull battery,
Put battery back in <---important
hold down volume down then hold power until you go into hboot.
After that it does everything for you.
If you have music or pics on your phone, put them on your pc or they will be deleted.
Might I add if you don't have anything unlocked you just put it on to your sd card. Either ext_sd or sdcard2 in astro
Pull battery,

You do not need a pc to upgrade to ics!!!

type in "cmd" in your search if your using windows, then type it in
to check if your device is being detected type in "Fastboot devices"
So, by "if you don't have anything unlocked" mean completely stock, S-OFF, and no root?
Just a little clarification for this nube.

If you unlocked the bootloader even once your warrenty is already dead, either way it only kills half your warranty, if something fails software wise there is no warranty

Go to Hboot screen, if nothing pops up then you named it wrong
When you have it on sdcard and you go to hboot give it like 15 minutes untill it ask you for an update, don't touch it for another 15 minutes then let it reboot

PH98IMG is what you will want to name it, but essentially that's all you need if your s-on. they don't really check the bootloader screen so you'll be ok. I've turned in 2 already haha, one i left S-Off

Okay so I used the SuperCID apk and it converted my CID to a bunch of Twos and then I used the HTC unlock method to unlock my phone. But after I select root my phone I'll void the warranty it boots into Android mode where I reboot it into recovery it says locked. It doesn't say relocked or unlocked it simply says locked like it never unlocked my phone even though it had just said it unlocked it maybe 2 minutes prior. Has anyone else had this problem? How do I fix it?

For me. I had to turn phone completely off. Then boot into HBOOT/Fastboot in order for the unlock to work. Make sure fast boot is unchecked in the power options before turning off.
In about three minutes this video should show a HTC DNA not unlocking even with SuperCID change and the correct file to unlock the phone with.
Code:
youtu.be/6P7mQ0rP-ms
Just keep at the command. Keep redoing it until it sticks. Took me 5 tries. Now I'm S-OFF & unlocked...with the OTA. Just keep doing it. It'll stick...eventually.

Thanks a lot turning it completely off actually did the trick. Now my next question is since I had to put on a custom recovery to install Super User now do I install a stock recovery so that it can do over the air updates now that I have S-Off. If it updates my stock rom with OTA will I have to flash a custom rom to root it again or will SU still be there because its S-Off?

I'm not sure why'd you want to take the ota, but yes, you'll need the stock recovery if you want to take it. Then you'll need to install a custom recovery and install a superuser package.
Having s off has nothing to do with superuser or the ota.
