to unlock your bootloader you have to use the method made for your bootloader, if there is one.
downgrade is only possible while s-off, btw.

Hi. Many thanks. I used sunshine to unlock and s-off. When I open sunshine again it says it's already rooted and I can't unlock bootloader. Any idea?

if you used sunshine s-off, you are already able to downgrade. if you are s-off with that method, and most others, you dont need to relock to downgrade. just flash ruu through fastboot. for that issue, contact sunshine. never been in that situation but you should still downgrade if S-OFF'ed.

Hey guys,
i need a downgrade without using htcdev.com.
Why without?
The Unlock_token.bin, that they send, wasn't correct. I tried to flash the token and every time it said " remote:"Unlock Token check failed"".
The Phone was rooted and unlocked, but then i have bricked it and send it to repair @ htc.
After they reinstall a new "mainbord", htvdev never work...
It's Hboot 1.53.0007... -> so, revolutionary doesn't work...
It's there a chance to downgrade without unlocked Bootloader?
Or unlock the Loader without htcdev?
First yeas, look in this section for e.g. Juopunut Bear.
Second, this is developer section, not Q&A!

The method is the same for S-OFF as S-ON. Since, you are S-OFF you can use the Guru Bootloader Reset tool in TWRP after you unlock it the HTCDev method.
You do not have to relock your bootloader to run RUU or firmware when you are S-OFF.
Hi everyone.
I'm S-off, SuperCID, 4.16.401.9 firmware, and I re-locked my bootloader while troubleshooting an adb problem.
Is there a simple fastboot command that'll unlock my bootloader again?
I can flash recoveries via the Flashify app, but I can't do much via adb anymore.
Thanks!
How did you unlock it the first time? HTC Dev Im assuming,should still have the unlock token bin file...thats run from bootloader via fastbootusb command...This should be in Questions and Answer forum...??

That's weird.... I thought I posted this in the Q&A forum. I was just in there looking for it and I thought it'd gotten deleted or something. Oh well.
Mods, please feel free to correct my goof.
I didn't use HTCDev to unlock. I just did Sunshine and it handled everything. S-off, unlock, and root - Talk about painless! After that I installed a custom recovery (Philz) and I was off to the races.
So I decided to SuperCID my phone so I can install whatever I want. No problem.
Then I tried to install 5.0.1 firmware (4.16.1540.8) so I could run SkyDragon, but the firmware posted on page 1 in the thread would not install- 4.16.1540.8
Kept giving me "FAILED (REMOTE:24 parsing android-info fail)"
I was able to install 4.16.401.9 with no major headaches, once I found a sensible upgrade path. That one is working fine, but I don't understand why 4.16.1540.8 would not install.
After googling the error, I found a post from Scotty a while back that said the phone wanted to see a stock recovery, locked. So I thought I'd throw the old recovery back on and do the 'fastboot oem lock' command . I didn't think it would impact the phone's operation since it is S-off. Well, the command worked, but I still wasn't able to flash the dang firmware I wanted to my phone.
So now I'm S-off, locked bootloader, PhilZ recovery (put it back on with Flashify), SuperCID, on Lollipop, and I guess everything is ok. But I still don't understand why the phone wouldn't take the firmware.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
If you ran sunshine on it,you can run it again i believe on that same device. It should unlock it again,if not then can try htcdev as it also uses fastboot to unlock as long as you can get adb to show needed code.

In the past (at least on my One X EVITA) my understanding was that s-off meant that all security was bypassed. Meaning that bootloader check was effectively bypassed.
This isn't the case for the M8. From what I can tell a LOCKED bootloader still prevents you from flashing anything that isn't signed (anything "unofficial") even if s-off.
However, having an UNLOCKED bootloader doesn't seem to affect anything while s-off. Meaning you can do things like RUU when UNLOCKED (which normally needs to be LOCKED or RELOCKED if s-on).
In short, I don't ever recommend relocking the bootloader if s-off on this device. There isn't any reason to, as far as I can tell. Meaning, having an UNLOCKED bootloader doesn't prevent you from doing anything. However, a RELOCKED bootloader does (even when s-on) prevent some things.
I use fashtool, it say relock success. When I check, it's still unlocked....
I retry unlock and relock procedures, but no success....any help??

I'd like to know as well.
Hi, I awant to root my H901 by unlocking bootloader (V20J). However, my concern is can it be locked again as I will sell it after a month or so and I don't want any bootloader unlock alert at startup? Has anyone tried to relock? Plz let me know, thanks.

To relock the bootloader follow the following instructions:
Put your phone under the fastboot mode
enter the following commands: fastboot oem lock
Keep in mind that while your boot-loader is locked, you will not be able to root or flash ROMs to your phone.

Thanks. Yes I can unlock the bootloader again to gain root but I have read in unlock thread guide that relocking might have unknown results. Have you or anyone else tried relocking personally?

You should not re-lock you bootloader if you have root but if you are going to trade in your phone or sell it then you should definitely re-lock your bootloader after you flash a stock ROM.
Bump..... Anyone successfully relocked bootloader without any error and got rid of unlocked bootloader at startup?
