If the RUU doesn't work, the other two alternatives are to attempt to flash the stock system.img and stock boot.img through fastboot .. although I'm not sure this will work with S-ON, depends on whether or not the device is locked/unlocked via HTC's official method.
Also, the second alternative, could use the PG*zip file which is stored inside the RUU. the zip file can be extracted from the RUU and placed on the root of the sdcard. Then the bootloader will grab this file and flash, essentially performing the same thing as the RUU would.
If my bootloader says relocked not locked but everything else is stock then can i still claim under warranty in Australia on vodafone
Probably not. Bootloader has to be "locked". Relocked will let them know that you had unlocked it and flashed something.

That really depends Vodafone Australia's policy, as it seems to vary by country.
If you do need to be "locked" rather than "relocked" this link might help. For users that that have htcdev unlocked, the easiest way to regain the "locked" bootloader status is to do the JuopunutBear wire trick, which will leave the bootloader "locked", then flash an RUU and set S-ON with the "fastboot oem writesecureflg 3" command. That would set your phone back to totally stock.

Is there a way to put bootloader in 'Locked' instead of 'Relocked' ? My phone was unlocked and S-off. I put it back to S-on, and tried to locked the bootloader with cmd 'fastboot oem lock', but in the bootloader it says 'relocked'. I wonder if there's a way to put it in 'locked', and not flashing RUU....
thank you!
you need to lock your bootloader while you are putting the phone back to s-on... there's a guide somewhere let me find it for you..here's the thread about how to lock the bootloader and s-on the phone
The only way I know of is to be s-off then flash the stock RUU. It will read "Locked" after its completed.
Hi guys. I've always heard that unlocking bootloader and rooting voids warranty. What is true?
- Unlocking bootloader?
- Even after unrooting, still void?
- Can I undo unlocked bootloader?
- How does phone producers/makers know if your device (if sent for warranty) is modified?
- If I unroot/undo unlock bootloader, will they still know I have rooted/unlocked bootloader before?
Unlocking or Rooting your phone can void your warrenty.. This can be undone depending on your phone model.. Do a google with your phone model..
My phone not booting its saying corrupted
Have you unlocked the bootloader? My first guess is you tried to change something without unlocking the bootloader first.
