Hi there guys, I rooted my HTC One a couple of months ago. But now I want to go back to stock. So I watched this tutorial video on how to unroot my HTC One and got to the part where I'm supposed to relock my bootloader.
I had to stop the process because the application he recommended wouldn't run on my Windows 7.
So, I'm stuck with a relocked bootloader and S-on.
I thought about converting my device to Google Play Ed but realized that I may not have the right skills for that just yet so now, I just want to go back to stock 4.3 but when I selected Recovery, it showed "***Security Warning***" right below "***Tampered***" and "***Relocked***".
After 2 restarts it disappeared but I'm scared that it might appear again.
I really want to just go back to stock. I've looked in the past threads and didn't find a solution on how to unroot specifically for relocked bootloaders.
I would really appreciate some help please.

Did you use rumrunner to s-off? Are you using a patched/modified hboot? Whatever method you used to s-off, you have to use the reverse of that, or you could brick your device. The answer to your question lies in the method you used to s-off your device.
I'm not saying this is going to help you, but I did a simple google search when I did this, and this helped me:

It says it's S-ON though.. Do I Make it S-OFF first then unroot it? I thought it would be S-OFF because I rooted it. Should i try rumrunner to turn it to S-OFF?

So like most users, I was very excited to hear about the ICS leak by Football since I've been waiting MONTHS for some sort of development on that.
Getting impatient on waiting for CM9 and Evervolv builds for the Amaze, I really wanted to try this new leak for T-Mobile. So I figured that in order to do that, I must get S-Off.
It seemed like a tedious process so I've been holding it off for a while. Now that I've got a copper wire and everything, I wanted to do the deed once and for all.
So I accidentally flashed a stock rom (which I thought was a good thing since the instructions said I needed a stock rom), but I seem to have lost root access. Superuser runs, but battery calibration says I need to have root first and Titanium Backup doesn't work. However, my phone still says unlocked and I can still run ClockworkMod Recovery. The S-Off program tells me that there's an error. Is there anyone that can help?

Well you are on T-mobile so you have two choices here. you can S-off if you want to have total freedom or you can revert your phone to stock and relock your bootloader and flash it and then re-unlock again. but remember flashign this without s-off may prevent you from getting s-off later on.

Well, I can't flash the PH85IMG without S-Off, right? Because on the HBoot screen, it would load the file but i wouldn't be asked if I wanted to install it. So I had no idea what to do. I thought I had to have S-Off to install it. Does this really mean I've lost root even though my phone says unlocked and I can run Clockworkmod?

Pretty sure you just use fastboot to lock, open a command prompt with your phone attached in debugging mode, type in fastboot oem lock, then install the stock rom listed in the development section. (If I am wrong on this, someone please feel free to correct me.)
Hi Guys,
I feel strange, in that I have been rooting phones since the g1 (and literally every other android device on tmobile & sprint since then) and I've never run into this:
I was running Eternity rom, but wanted to send the device in for a warranty repair, so I followed the available instructions to take my Evo3d back to stock. Everything seemed to go fine, except that now the phone will ONLY boot into the bootloader.
I did re-lock the bootloader as per the instructions here on xda, so now at the top of the screen i get:
Relocked
Security Warning!
and S-On ( i was never s-off)
Does anyone know of a way to get me back up and running? Btw, it was the PG86IMG.zip ruu 2.17 u flashed.
Im in a big jam here now...no phone for work purposes

im going to say a bad ruu re unlock and start over i dont know if its on xda too but on scotts roms site it has info to lock without the re locked showing good luck
I am having the same problem, but I found a way around it. If I boot the kernel through fastboot it will boot up. (You'd need to re unlock). My hboot doesn't really work anymore..

Im not even sure at this point how to re-unlock it. i am wondering if i should have flashed to an older ruu though.
How do I extract the kernel from the ruu? or is there a download available? I have searched....just cannot find it.

The security warning is because you are using a custom rom so will not be able to use the RUU through the bootloader.
What you need to do is download the RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00. 1216_signed.exe from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24268786&postcount=209
If you then run that exe while your phone is in fastboot and connected to your pc it will factory reset your phone and put you back on stock rom and kernel.
Hello,
I tried searching for a similar problem without luck so sorry if something like this has been posted already. I have an htc Rezound i just got recently after upgrading from an original rooted droid. I decided to unlock it using the HTC dev method then tried perm root using some of the stickies. I rooted the phone (or at least i think i did) and got the superuser permision. Now to the problem, every so often the phone would reboot on its own. After that reboot it goes into a eternal boot loop. the only way to stop it is if i go and remove the battery and reboot it again. This has been going on for a couple of weeks and i cannot seem to find the problem any suggestions would be great.
my phone currently is S-on and im ataching some screenshots phone info.
Thanks
I would start by doing the HTC Dev unlock to stay s-on and unlocked to root, otherwise you will have issues sooner or later like these. Stock rom rooted without htc dev is kind of pointless since you can't back anything up. Re-run the stock RUU and htc dev unlock then root it.

I did go trough the whole process for the HTC dev unlock, and unlocked the phone and it is currently S-on, as i said.

I see the point, now if i understand correctly you are suggesting I run back to a Stock version and redo the entire HTC dev process again? Or can i try and flash a rom and see if it solves the issues?

Sorry, I didn't read very well lol, just look for one of the stock rooted roms, and flash that in recovery.
Alright I will try to recap what ive done today. I Was rooted with s-off via the thunderbolt tool and had the new ICS rom installed and running fine. But I decided to sell it so I used the thunderbolt tool to unroot and return to stock.
All was going well then in the boot-loader the update failed and i got stuck with boot-loader locked security warning, which would not let me do anything, was stuck in the boot-loader.
After some searching I found a link to unlock the boot-loader via htcdev to fix the security warning and allowed me to finally boot back into the rom but the phone kept shutting down after it booted up past the thunderbolt screen. So after searching I found this link http://www.thunderboltforums.com/forum/htc-thunderbolt-help/7853-how-fix-security-warning.html and used the 2nd method to fix it since I still have a custom recovery on the phone. Now my problem is I am once again trying to get s-off through the thunderbolt tool like it says in the guide but every time I use the tool it says Starting up... and does nothing. Bascially im now stuck with s-on and an unlocked boot-loader. oh I tried to relock the bootloader but it just gives me a security warning again and im stuck in the bootloader again.
Any Ideas?
Alright never-mind I just used the Revolutionary 0.4 program and gained "revolutionary" in the pink field and s-off again so im good there again.
The thunderbolt tool is still stuck at "starting up"..., is there another way to get the tbolt back to stock condition?

If you have S-off then just grab a stock RUU (easiest probably gingerbread) and flash the RUU in hboot. This will completely return your phone to stock as well as unroot you. If you wish to keep root then flash a leaked RUU that someone put up.

If you're already rooted go to the development section and download the new radio and put it on the root of your sd card, rename it to PG05IMG.zip, reboot into the bootloader. The bootloader will automatically scan for the update and ask it you want to update. Select yes. Once it is finished and the phone boots back up. Use a file manager to browse to the radio and rename it. Then download and flash the official ics build. Don't confuse it with the leak. The leak is a worthless piece of crap and doesn't come close to how much better the ota is.

hello everyone!
new guy here... i have searched, but I don't know exactly where to start with this phone.
basically, my friend bought this phone, and wanted to install some fancy schmancy app, that i guess required it to be rooted? he did something to the phone, don't know what, he doesnt know either.. he just followed directions he found online. it worked, for about 6 months, until all of a sudden it kept rebooting constantly. he needed a phone right away so he bought a moto X, and gave me this phone bc its useless to him.
now I have it, and am trying to recover some info for him off it (some notes and email addresses), and then I would like to make it into a international version, so I can use it on my travels to Europe this summer.
its currently on the fastboot screen, and it says:
***tampered****
***relocked****
m7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT - 1.55.0000
RADIO 4T.20.3218.13
OpenDSP v. 31.120.274.0617
OS-3.17.502.3
i have a tmobile HTC One myself, but have never rooted or messed with one, i would start from 0. i searched, but I got a bit confused, so I just wanted to see if I can save this phone. thank you all!
So I'm thinking that your friend went through the process of rooting his phone by the usual way...
Unlock bootloader > install custom recovery > flash a super user tool.
Seems like he wanted to return the phone to "stock" but instead of doing the process in reverse just simply relocked the bootloader. Which is probably why it's boot looping now, doubt it just started happening all of a sudden.
If you want to put an international Rom on the phone I suggest just unlocking the boot loader again. Though be warned unlocking the boot loader wipes the phones data so your not going to be able to recover your friends data.
There are plenty of guides in the HTC One forums on how to unlock the boot loader.
In order to do it your going to need the unlock code for the phone, which your friend must have received from htcdev.com you'll have to get it from him.

Sorry it took so long, but I finally managed to make something happen.
I followed your advice, and unlocked bootloader. After I did that, the phone tried to restart and after the HTC logo, the screen just goes black, and stays like that. I can see the screen is on though. I can restart it, by using power + vol down button, which makes the back and home buttons flash when I press those buttons.
is that what should happen?
wait nevermind.... i wasnt pressing the right button, so I wasn't going into the boot loader. slowly figuring it out... haha
opinion
in this cases be carefull avoid brick your HTC ONE unloke bootloader again an follor straight instructions and everithing should go otherwise
alright so I have a question for you guys...
the phone was an AT&T Phone... if i flash a Tmobile rom on it, and unlock the SIM, could I take advantage of 4G here in the US? I want to use it in Europe this summer, but now my wife wants to use it as her daily...
basically where im at now, as of a few days ago, i unlocked bootloader, installer TWRP, now trying to figure out what to do next... slowly learning the ways of rooting here.. you guys are of great help!

If you're on a stock rom, you could go to att website, then click on your phone and choose sim unlock. I believe it is an 8 digit code. For the 4g part, I don't know for sure but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

this is exactly what my htc one says on the bootloader:
"Tampered
Relocked
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.55.0000"
How do I go back to stock from where I am?
I would really appreciate any help, the camera started showing that common purple haziness a lot of people have seen and I really want to send my phone in for repair... and the warranty expires on June 23rd 2014.

Does your phone work / bootup?
if so just copy this rom to the phone and reboot to recovery and choose install
find the file and flash it ... choose to do a full wipe in Aroma if you want a fresh start on the new sense 6
