Hey Guys,
I am trying to go back to complete stock.. i have to send in my phone to HTC.
While doing everything... (ran the RUU)
At my last step, i had to do relock the bootloader.
Well, not reading everything i just did fastboot oem lock and now it shows ***Relocked***
I cant find a way to now unlock my updated 1.54 bootloader so i can lock it the right now to show locked.
Any help would be awesome!!
P.S I have S-ON...

Unfortunately, the only way to get it to read LOCKED you have to be S-OFF. You will have to unlock it using HTCDev, the steps are in this post. Then, you should follow this post to return to 100% stock.
It took awhile, but i did what you said and it worked! thanks for the help!

anyone have accomplish this? I've been trying for last few days. I run the gb ruu the latest Ota twice (yesterday I ran it 4 times) and then the s-on command trough fastboot/adb and I'm left whit stock gb, s-on and RE-LOCKED HBOOT.
Is there anyway to get it to LOCKED?
Thanks in Advance
Edit: I've been running the 2.01.605.11 Ota gb ruu.
You need to S-OFF first and then relock it. Running RUU will give you RELOCKED or TAMPERED.

While s-off run the fastboot commands to relock the HBOOT? Can you tell me those commands? Thanks.
Did you unlock while s-off? If you did, you need to s-off again. After s-off you will have a locked bootloader again. Than ruu to gb ota, and send the s-on commands through fastboot.
That will leave you with stock gb, s-on and lock bootloader.
Do not send the s-on command unless your are 100% sure you have an ota stock hboot. Or you will have a brick
I am pretty sure that there is no way to get it to say locked. It will just say relocked. Someone was working on a way to change that but I think they decided not to continue because they didn't want to be accused of encouraging fraud.

No no, just do the S-OFF. If you attempt to lock after S-OFF, it will say RELOCKED.
The S-OFF process is the only way to get back to LOCKED. If you unlock or run the fastboot command to lock again after that, it will show RELOCKED.

Alright thanks guys gonna try again tonight after work. I'll report back later.
You can definitely return to **Locked** without question if you have s-off. Just run the newest leak RUU twice and it should take it back to locked but S-OFF, did it to my girl's unlocked+s-off rezound two nights ago. I didn't even have to manually run it twice, it just keep rebooting and did the 2nd run on it's own. It's now the stock hboot, locked, s-off. Then if you want GB there shouldn't be any issue flashing the GB RUU since you'd maintain S-OFF

Ok gonna give a shot to that. Thanks.
I think my wife's Rezound is starting to have issues. It is randomly freezing and you need to power it off and on for it to come back. Even happened right after a clean flash while in the setup screens.
I do have ICS on it and my bootloader is unlocked and I am s-off. What are the steps needed before sending it back to Verizon and has anyone had any issues when sending the device back after re-locking it?
I looked for a thread on this but had no luck on a step by step process......
Appreciate the help in advance.
Reflash the factory RUU and then revert to S-ON. If your bootloader is unlocked, you'll need to relock it before you flash the RUU.

Where can we get the latest update RUU? Does it need to be flashed in the bootlader screen? How does one get back to S-ON?
So step one is to relock the bootloader which I know can be done with the tool.
Then flash the RUU, (waiting for correct way)
Then back to S-On (waiting on instructions how)
i'll help
Are you unlocked or locked?
You are s-off right?
What is you're hboot? is it modified?
I am unlocked
I am s-off
Not sure which hboot I am on. Can't get my wife's phone right now. I am not on the latest hboot I don't think but the one right before it.
As far as it being modified, was that something it asked when doing the s-off? If yes, then I believe I did it. Can no for sure tomorrow when I check the device.
Relock with the toolkit or with "fastboot oem lock"

Do it in that order
Search is your friend.
Also, when you S-OFF, it will relock your bootloader. You do not need to unlock it again. S-OFF > unlock.
Hello! I'm running Scott's ROM ICS S-ON. I'm not looking to S-OFF unless absolutely necessary; I don't prefer messing up with a bricked phone.
I want to update to the official ICS OTA distributed by Verizon. I haven't found a post that has any information on how to do this with S-ON Relocked and a Relocked Bootloader.
In my bootloader, the information at the top is
Code:
***RELOCKED***
***SECURITY WARNING***
VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.11.0000
RADIO-0.95.00.1118r/0.95.00.1223r

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Download the latest RUU. If you locked your bootloader after using htc dev, all you would have to do is flash the new global RUU as normal and unlock (If you want) the bootloader again.

Is the new RUU the one from the Android Police website? Yes, I unlocked the bootloader via HTC Dev, and I just relocked "fastboot oem lock".
I have it rooted, so I guess now it can't boot, as it only boots into bootloader.

I downloaded the RUU from Nils Sense 4 thread. First page, third post.

Since your relocked, just place it on root sd as PH98IMG.zip and reboot into bootloader to flash.

Alright, I'll try that. If I come up with any errors (I'll be sure if it's one), I'll come back and talk of it.
...As soon as I'm about to type what was going wrong, it decided to fix itself SOMEHOW and continue.
...Well, so far, it has appeared to be working fine! Not sure if this will fix the blue screen problem, but all I was really hoping for was to get the stock Rezound ICS update.
Thanks so much! You've been really helpful. It was much simpler than I was expecting. I'll see about rooting at a later date
Not sure how it works or the slang around here but "bump"? or "thanks" button pressed xD

I am in a similar state and I have one follow up question. I read in another thread that before relocking my bootloader, I would need to Flash stock recovery because I have Amon-Ra installed. Is flashing the stock recovery absolutely required before relocking and flashing the new global ruu?
Thanks in advance.

No, you don't need to flash stock recovery. The RUU will do that for you. Just make sure you're locked before you flash the RUU. Unlock and re flash your choice of recovery after RUU is complete.

Hey Guys. I have a slight problem. Or you can call it curiosity.
When i got my GSM Evo 3D, it had everything stock on it. Locked, S-ON, 1.53.0007 Hboot. I unlocked the bootloader using HTCdev, S-OFF with wire trick, downgraded Hboot to 1.49.0007, installed 4EXT recovery and proceded to flashing roms.
Today, after briefly trying Mwakious's ROM, i noticed in the bootloader that it sais " ***LOCKED*** ". The Hboot version and S-OFF remained the same. How is this possible? Can it get Locked just like that? I never had any problems with flashing any ROM, and i still don't.
Can (or should I, considering i can still flash any ROM/kernel without issues) unlock it again with the HTCdev method? Or do i have to flash the stock RUU first? Will it take me back to the Locked, S-ON and 1.53.0007 Hboot if i do that?
Thanks in advance.
It's not a problem. It's always locked after wire trick, if I remember it right....
Benik3 is right. I'm sure if you had checked the bootloader immediately after wire trick it would have showed locked
Thank you. I considered that it might have been like that since after the wire trick, but i just didn't notice it.
Just "panicked" a bit when i saw it, because i thought an unlocked bootloader was a must when flashing custom roms.
Kind of the same problem here, but mine showed unlocked until after i did the update. I had switched to hboot 1.50 for a rom, so not sure if that did it? But i flashed the eng hboot 1.04, and now it doesnt say locked or unlocked?? I am cdma..

You're still unlocked, but the custom hboots like ENG just mask that status on the top line of the bootloader screen.
If you want to verify that and set your bootloader back to the "locked" status, the information and tools you need are in this post.

Hello! First time user here. I have an AT&T HTC One M7 with an unlocked sim (using with T-mobile). The only thing I have done is unlock bootloader (with S-on) through HTCdev. I've decided to return the phone in favor of the Google Nexus 5. My question is how do I return the phone ***LOCKED*** bootloader and not relock with S-on?
Also, in recovery mode my phone shows: ***UNLOCKED***
Any help is plenty!
Thanks

you can't .. the action you ask for requires s-off
just send it back relocked it's no big deal
fastboot oem lock

Thanks for the reply! and yeah, I've been reading around that it shouldn't be a problem returning a phone relocked versus locked. I'm definitely gonna go that route now. Thanks again :good:
