Try to Relock my device, but unlocks on reboot

Mine is a HTC EVO 3D rooted gsm device currently running on 3.28.720.1 firmware. I want to flash the cool ICS v14b for which I need to downgrade the firmware to 3.28.707.1. I successfully relocked the device by using the "fastboot oem lock" command. It even shows "RELOCKED".
But when I reboot into the bootloader after placing the pg86img.zip in the root folder , the status turns back to "UNLOCKED". How do I relock the device so that I can flash the pg86img.zip and then unlock the device followed by flashing the rom using 4xt recovery.
I unlocked the bootloader using htcdev method and mine is a s-on device.
Any help would be appreciated!
You can't downgrade if you are S-ON..
EDIT : I see you edited it yourself.

I'm guilty of just asking "are you s-off" too, but this isn't actually sufficient. Users need to be s-off AND either unlocked or using the engineered bootloader to be able to flash boot images through recovery. Some users might be s-off but have locked bootloaders and stock hboot if they ran an RUU at some point after going s-off. To the best of my knowledge, this tree summarizes what users can do in each state:
State of Phone: flashing capabilities
S-ON and Locked: none
S-ON and Unlocked: can flash recovery and boot images through fastboot only
S-OFF, Locked, and Stock HBOOT: can flash recovery and boot images through fastboot only (need to verify if this is even possible)
S-OFF, Locked, and Unlimited.io HBOOT: can flash recovery and boot images through either fastboot or recovery
S-OFF, Unlocked, and Stock HBOOT: can flash recovery and boot images through fastboot only (need to verify if flashing boot image through recovery is possible)
S-OFF, Unlocked, and Unlimited.io HBOOT: can flash recovery and boot images through either fastboot or recovery

I can confirm that stock hboot and s off flashes kernels fine for me, reason for me on stock hboot, most sense 5 ports end up killing my phone to a state where recovery is unreachable, this is my procedure if you wanna check:
I leave bootloader unlocked
Fastboot OEM rebootruu
Fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
Then fastboot reboot-bootloader
And finally fastboot flash recovery twrp.IMG
Then I restore nandroid

I think i got it figured out. My bad lol I think I was flashing gapps with it lol I'm so used to having to flash Gapps with JB ROMs.:good:

Installing Recovery After Bootloader

I have a rooted HTC One with a locked bootloader that I would like to unroot back to stock. I had TWRP as a custom recovery before I relocked the bootloader, but cannot use that now because of my locked bootloader. If I unlock the bootloader again, would I have any form of recovery or a ROM?

[Q] How can I restore my AT&T HTC One M8 to Stock using the RUU without S-off?

I am rooted with an unlocked bootloader (went from TWRP back to Stock recovery a few weeks ago). I was reading about the RUU, but someone said you need to be S-off to do it. Is this true? And if not, how can I use the RUU then?
need to know this too mine was rooted bootloader is unlocked but for some reason its s-on
I cannot use firewater cause my phone won't boot past htc logo and when I true ancestor thru twrp it says failed .
I'm pulling my hair out some one help
I don't think you need to be S-Off. But I think you do need to re-lock the bootloader though not sure on that.
relock the bootloader and flash stock recovery, then use the RUU if you want an easy way to relock the bootloader and flash the stock recovery use HTC One 2014 (M8) All-In-One Toolkit from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699065 by hasoon2000
or enter recovery , fastboot, then try running the RUU
fastboot oem lock will lock bootloader again...make sure you have stock recovery, you can boot into bootloader, connect via fastboot mode and run ruu from there
