Hi folks,
I'm selling my phone and trying to get it back to stock. I flashed a lock_bootloader.zip file from another thread to lock the bootloader. I realized though, I don't know how to verify if that was successful. I booted into bootloader. Nothing says Locked or Unlocked. Says Moonshine S-OFF but doesn't say if it's locked or not. Does that mean it's unlocked? Or does that mean that it is locked?
Thanks...sorry for the noob question.
Moonshine hides the lock status so you need to follow the guide to completely go son and then a status will show as locked.

Ahhh....cool! Thanks! There was a note in the guide that said to verify you were unlocked before proceeding, but I hammered on like you said to do and in the end it was fully successful. Thanks.
This is the best guide to get completely stock.

Flash a stock hboot preferably the 1.54.0000 and then it will tell you at the top whether its locked or not, cant miss it lol

Yesterday I Relocked and ran RUU to take the OTA. It used to say Locked before I originally unlocked to root and now it says Relocked in bootloader. Does this matter?

So there is no 100% way to unlock and Relock and not tell because it now says Relocked.

if your s-off u can get rid of that.. mine says locked s-on.. but im really unlocked s-off.. that bootloader custimizer will fix that
It is correct what everyone is saying....once you unlock there is no physical/official way to lock it. It will always say relocked unless you do the mod to have it say locked. Its still relocked just doesn't "look" relocked....if that makes sense. Hope that clarifies it for you.

Hi guys.
Trying to unlock my boot loader so I can root my DNA and load a custom rom. Unfortunately I've run into a problem. When I go thru the steps at the HTC Dev site it comes back as unlock failed....with the following error code:
Error Code: 160.
Error Reason: MID Not Allowed.
I have no idea what this is telling me or what I'm doing wrong. The only thing I can think of is when choosing the device from their list, I couldn't find the DNA listed so I chose "all other devices". Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
Sounds like your not copying the token thing correctly.
Either that, or you didn't do the supercid exploit.

As near as I can tell, I copied the token correctly. Tried it twice and got the same result.
What is the supercid exploit? Is it something I needed to do before HTC Dev unlocking?

Yep, you can't be on the ota though. If you are on the ota you can't unlock the bootloader for now.

Not to be rude but did you read any bootloader unlocking thread? Because if you did you would have known what to do

Ok, got it figured out. I wasn't quite clear on what I had to do to unlock the boot loader. Re-read everything on the link that Bigandrewgold posted. Now it worked. I didn't realize I was on the " TA update" and hadn't done the supercid exploit. Once I did that, then I was able to get the unlock code from HTCDev and unlock the bootloader. Now I'm rooted successfully! Thanks a bunch guys.
Wait, you installed the over the air (OTA) update and were still able to unlock it?

He's just confused. You can not unlock on the ota.

I've got a DNA that I just bought today from someone. Its rooted already with a locked bootloader (that was once unlocked). It has custom recovery installed. Any rom I try to install won't boot and I have to boot into recovery and restore it. It has a functional rom on it now, but the wifi on whatever particular rom it is won't work. I'm not sure what firmware it is its UKB 1.3.0 and PRI version 2.44_002. Not sure if any of that is pertinent information, but I'm just looking to get on a Sense 5 rom with functional wifi. Or at least stock as a whole. It IS trying to accept an OTA update at the moment as well, but I deferred it until the 7th. Thanks for any help anyone can lend.

Ask the dude to email the unlock key so you can unlock it and have fun.
Or just go to htcdev and go through the unlock process.

Doesn't he need the unlock key that is emailed? Last I did this was Nov so I'm a little foggy on the steps.
I thought HTC and Verizon are responsible for the bootloader getting locked again

Since it was unlocked before it has supercid, which means you can just go through the htcdev process again.

It doesn't matter who caused it, the bottom line is that if youve never unlocked and are running 2.04 then the unlock exploit won't work.

Cool, so he will be a happy camper once he goes through the process.
Hey guys, I went through the process and it says error code 160: MID not allowed. What does this mean?

When you did it, did you choose other device instead of DNA? You need to use the other devices option.

I did do other devices cause there was no option for a DNA

I am wondering how one would go back S-On after achieving S-Off using the Moonshine method or if it is even possible. There is a thread about LazyPanda/DirtyRacun but I can't seem to find anything for Moonshine. I ask because I need to take my phone to sprint for repairs and don't want to have an unlocked bootloader.

This tool will put your phone back completely stock, locked bootloader and S-on.

Thanks! I saw this earlier but I wasn't 100% sure if it would work with Moonshine so I figured I'd be on the safe side and ask first.
OK, some background and disclaimers.
I searched as best as I could and read the FAQ and couldn't find anything that would help me--the relocker thread from 26 Nov 2012 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017525) looked useful but too dated. So no flames please!
I bought this phone off a Verizon store manager in early June, who didn't mention that he had rooted it (or failed to return it to bone stock via re-locking it). Recently, it's been losing bluetooth connection to my car, losing the SIM Card connection, and failing to accept the OTA update (which is a daily, obnoxious occurrence). I checked with a VZW employee today and my phone is still under warranty, so I plan to send it in for replacement due to the former two problems.
Problem 1: Transferring a phone between accounts voids the warranty. Solved, as I won't say anything, and am mysteriously still under warranty.
Problem 2: Unlocking/rooting a phone voids the warranty. However, if I can manage to re-lock the phone, then all should be good.
I'm obviously a casual user and have zero idea how to re-lock the phone or even check if it's still rooted. Yes, I am a newbie.
What should I do?
Whenever I try to run the OTA, I am booted into ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.1.
Other relevant stuff:
Android 4.1.1
Software: 2.06.605.1 710RD
Please let me know what else you need to know.
Thank you!

Would you mind linking? I looked into development and all I found was an "S-Off" thread for returning to stock and the first one I already linked.

The s-off guide will do what you need for you. Just ignore the part about going back s-off if you are just trying relock

Ok. I'm doing my best to do it on my own without asking dumb questions, but the post I found (yours, actually-- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919) says it's for Facepalm/JTAG/RevOne/Moonshine, which I assume are OSes. But my understanding isn't that my phone is flashed or rooted, just that it's unlocked and I have to get rid of the bootloader, which is the Clockwork Recovery mod.
I just tried this http://www.androidcentral.com/is-my-phone-rooted with ConnectBot and don't appear to be rooted.
All those names are s-off methods...
Just use my lock zip, ruu = profit

Thanks for your help. I had some trouble--mostly because I assume you wrote the guide for an average developer who already has all the SDK stuff installed on his computer, and I didn't. But I figured it out. Much appreciated!
