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.

to my knowledge any htc device no longer show "locked" after you unlocked it the first time..it will always show relocked when locked again..

Something went wrong and now I have a message in hboot that says "security warning" and tampared over the words "locked". I doesnt boot to the rom again just goes to recovery im guessing with the phone and the red triangle. lol Pain in the butt.
To be honest I have no clue how to fix that lol I haven't tried to lock it yet

Run a ruu that will fix it tampered will be gone too

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.

WOW! Revolutionary Finally worked on my phone!! Now instead of a Pink **LOCKED** I have a nice pink --REVOLUTIONARY--!! So...I suggest trying REVOLUTIONARY!!
The pink locked is because the newest RUU has an hboot with support for official unlocking through HTC. Not that we will ever see that or need it. Like you said Revolutionary will s-off that hboot no problem. Just thought I would shed some light on the pink "locked" deal.

you may need htc sync and the android sdk installed first. also make sure usb debugging is on under your phone settings.
you didnt read their page,you need the drivers they have listed,unistall anything you already installed,install the drivers from their page and it will see your phone,but if you would have read the instructions you would have known that, never mind you guys never learn even on the post with the ruu it says it will lock your bootloader,so why flash it,oh sorry you would have had to read that also!

Hey everyone, I am unable to unlock my bootloader after accepting this OTA. I just got an EVO 3D yesterday and I updated it as soon as I got it. I first checked to see if it was an HBOOT below 1.5, it wasn't so I went ahead and updated. However when i get to step 12 i believe on the htc dev site, I flash the unlock_code.bin and nothing happens just sits there. I read around and found people saying you need to take the 2.08 RUU, I tried that and when it gets to the black HTC screen I get an error 140. I was so excited to get this phone and already downloaded the rom i wanted before owning it. If someone can please help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks

Same here.
The same RUU I used to revert to the .2sw update to unlock two other evo3d's with hboot 1.5, will not work. Im unbelievably frustrated right now as Ive been sitting at this computer for over three hours. Please, if you find a way to downgrade your software, please let me know. thanks
not sure why you wanted to be on hboot 1.50. but shouldnt be a problem to unlock the bootloader, since it was just minor updates and still on hboot 1.50. id just try doing the process again.
i unlocked mine with unlock_code.bin that i used when i rooted my evo 3d for 1st time.....it worked fine.
Tried 5 times and failed..

I didn't want to be on hboot 1.5, I wanted to be below it. But when I first got my phone I checked the bootloader and was already at 1.5. If it was below that I would've been rooted right now...
to be a bit more clear it was hboot 1.5 with an OTA 2.08 when I first received the phone.

1st Check you bootloader .What it says at the top .(locked/unlocked/relocked) if it says unlocked you do not need unlock_code.bin.

That's the guide I used to HTC Unlock. Video helped. There is a post somewhere about needing to Re-flash the stock RUU.exe or Ruu.zip (renamed to PG86IMG.zip) to get the phone past the "nothing happens" step where you're supposed to get the "unlock" option screen on the phone. I haven't seen the 651.5 released as a complete RUU, but you could probably flash the 651.3 RUU, finish the HTC unlock and then run the 651.5 update. Heck, the unlock would probably work after the update, idk for sure.
I have some links and my issue with this below.

I have some tools and files for you to use that will give you temp root and allow a downgrade to 2.08.651.2 rom, hboot will still be 1.50 though. However from there you should be able to unlock via HTCdev method. I gotta upload the files and write the code which I will post up here in a second. I hope you are ok with using adb and fastboot.
I have a Rezound on RezRom (latest). The phone is s-off... I can't believe I got through that with my old eyes and limited tech ability...
I got a new phone, and want to give the Rezound to my daughter. What would be the right thing to flash to make her stock, and able to receive updates? I don't care if the phone stays s-off or goes back to s-on-- she'll never use that feature anyhow.
I'm guessing I can just run this: RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_2.01.605.11_Radio_RS_0.95.00.1123r_3161E_9K_QMR_release_233635_signed.exe and all will be back to stock, the updates will work, the phone will be erased and probably s-on again.
If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. (So would she... she's still rocking an OG droid!)
Thanks much in advance for any help!
Cheers,
SteveRN
S-OFF will remain after RUU but there's a thread about returning to S-ON but make sure it's after the RUU or you'll brick your phone beyond repair.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW
Running that ruu will get you completely back to stock with the exception of s-off. If you want to set it back to s-on there's simply a fast boot command you need to run. There are a few threads around here that talk about it if that's the way you want to go.

Many thanks to you all. (of course I hit the button) ;-)
I'll run the RUU and leave it S-off. As long as it's on the upgrade path I'm a happy camper... and If I ever need to flash something for her, I can.
If it breaks or anything I'll be able to s-on it I suppose, she would only send it in through me anyway... (yeesh... kids )
Still stuck trying to flash stock back to my S-Off rezound...
Uh oh. Still stuck. I run the RUU i listed above and it errors out.
I boot the phone into the latest RezRom (ics) and run the RUU; the RUU gets to the part where it says "ok, say ok to flash this" and then it comes up "unknown error".
Am I supposed to start this up while the phone is in recovery? or is there a zip I can flash like a ph98img.zip that would take me to stock, even if it's s-off stock?
Argh.
RezRom still boots up fine. I can reboot into TWRP as well.
Help! (I need a clue....)

glad it worked out, second recommendation was going to be pulling the rom.zip file from the ruu.exe and running that through hboot itself.
I going to get a replacement from Verizon and I need to revert my phone back to stock. Right now I'm s on and my boot says tampered and unlocked how can I get back to stock. Will an ruu work?
If you look for the hboots thread in the dev section, there is a modified one that will say 'locked'. You just need to download it and flash. I believe you may actually have to re s-off temporarily to flash it though. Could be wrong

You can, but it wouldn't do any good as the ruu would not clear the tampered, unlocked message. This is why you need the modified hboot I mentioned. It has the message modified that has the correct message of 'locked'.
Grab the one called 'locked'

And you do need to s-off then flash the hex edited hboot.. all you need is for that phone to stay locked and be on a stock Rom and your good. Verizon doesn't usually check as long as you went thru the trouble shooting process with them over the phone and theyll send you a new one in the mail and you'll ship the old one back. They can't technically send you a phone and then charge you for the old one (if it is ***tampered***) cuz they wouldn't have done the proper trouble shooting before sending you a new phone. For all they know you got your phone that way.

heres the latest ruu.. itll give you stock EVERYTHING http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ lock your bootloader, relock your bootlader, run the ruu, twice, i think after it still says relocked (havent done it myself in a while) if so s-off from there, then flash the hex edited hboot..
I've done a bunch of searching on this and finally gave up and decided to ask it here because I can't find anywhere with actual info on it... I was trying to ruu back to the 2.13 base and then reroot from scratch with the new radios but ended up getting stuck in the bootloader with **TAMPERED** **RELOCKED** and **Security Warning** as the headers. It won't let me reboot, it won't let me into recovery, and I'm getting frustrated ... I still have access to fastboot but I'm useless with commands so I haven't been able to fix it. Any help?
Basically, here's the whole details.
I'm on hboot 1.15 s-on, dev-unlocked using regaw's rooting+unlocking tool. The phone had the 2.13 deodexed running, got it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1860728
Had twrp 2.X (the version before the latest) installed
I tried running the latest ruu.exe on my computer but it kept failing so I looked it up and assumed it must be because I was dev-unlocked.
Went into the bootloader>fastboot and locked it with fastboot oem lock
The phone rebooted into bootloader with the ** Security Warning** header and now I'm stuck...
I would try the downgrade thread.. It's pretty easy and I believe it can be done from bootloader. Then instead of going thru all that hassle, use one of the radio upgrades from captain throw back on themikmik. Just my opinion. Worst that could happen is it doesn't work. Anyone else have feedback on this??

I think I figured it out.. I dug a little deeper into some other threads I found on it from people who've done this before. One of them managed to fix it by running the RUU from the bootloader. It took me a bit to realize it had to be in fastboot (facepalm) for it to run. It failed the first time but it looks like its working this time. :good:
Good luck to ya. I hope it works out.. I would still recommend using the hacked upgrades for radios and such.

Do you know with the security warning will cause running an RUU to fail?

I'm in the same boat as you were - can you point me to where/how you got the RUU to run? I've got exactly the same situation, but my RUU (2.13) won't run, either in fastboot or the bootloader.
