Was there a screenshot that you meant to attach, OP?
What happens when you power on the phone while holding down the "volume down" button? What software/firmware versions are you running? Can you boot to recovery?

Meaning what? Was the bootloader unlock successful? Did he do anything after unlocking the bootloader (install custom recovery, root, etc.)? If so, what method was used, what version TWRP, etc. (be as specific as possible)

Then you either need to ask your brother to answer the questions I posed; or you need start learning what the terms mean yourself. You won't get the phone up and running if you lack knowledge of the basic terms and concepts. Its impossible for us to help you, if you don't provide the basic information we need to do so.
You don't strictly need to post a pic. Just describe what you see on the screen.

THANK YOU................................
Download the file linked on the following HTC support page: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-att/news/
Then follow the instructions on that same page under "Manual system update instructions"
This should get your phone up and running, and update it to current Lollipop at the same time.
Then, don't mess with the phone (or let anyone else) unless you do the proper knowledge and research on this specific device. Your brother didn't successfully unlock the bootloader (based on your last post) and rendered the phone unbootable; so it seems that he did it wrong, and/or didn't know how to recover for a very common no-bot condition (basic knowledge, if he knew what he was doing). Therefore, he had no business messing with the phone.
Also, please turn off your CAPS LOCK. All caps means YELLING on internet forums, and just generally bad etiquette. For that matter, I'd politely ask you to please capitalize properly like a normal person. It doesn't take any more time (and just a bit of effort) to capitalize properly. If folks taking their own time to help you can type/communicate properly, so can you.

They were a tad quiet about that. So much for a press release or anything.
I feel sodomized now...
This is a load of legal BS, which is only to benefit one party (ASUS). I wonder if such one-sided contracts will even stand up in court...
Great news !!!!
This future certainly looks bright !!
Bring on the Roms etc.
unlocking success XD now booting up it only takes a few seconds...
Finally! I really hope this will kickstart development.
strange recovery... only had a look for a few seconds as there is a timecounter in the background, but there is an option to install linux , mnt usb? maybe with FS? and to wipe (I don't want to press the button). I think it checked up the internal storage for some special files, like bootloader in htc for the pd**.img
Basically this unlocker grabs the serial of the CPU, tells the Asus server... Gets back the necessary info to unlock, unlocks the device and leave a marker for warranty thrashing (It mentions some sort of flag), then reboots.
Edit:If anyone was wondering, the serial of the cpu would be independent of the device serial (In format 0245xxxxxxxxxxxx) is acquired from /proc/cpuinfo
Edit2:I believe the unlock server is mdm.asus.com via HTTPS, also I believe it uses the Android device ID as well.
More Info!!! Thanks
couldn't someone just make a app, that does all this, except tell the asus sever our cpu number?
that way they would still think we havent unlocked it?
this is great news, the only problem i see is not being able to recieve OTA anymore. i am sure a dev will figure out a way to get us unlocked primes a way to install/flash them.
This is good to know and I will be keeping an eye out for any results that the community has using it. However, I won't be downloading/installing the tool because my Prime has not been rooted or gone backwards with ICS versions. I want to go the official update route for awhile yet. This is just a personal preference. I have too much money tied up in this unit to void the warranty.

It's a challenge-response thing with the challenge built from the cpu serial and device id (or one of those, or more... Didn't take a close look). Only Asus and the person in possession of the device would know these.
Also they're not stupid enough to just let you throw unlock requests at them without recording them. (After all they do have to look up the keys to unlock the bootloader)
Also they're probably wiping the DRM keys on the device as well, so devs don't go extracting them after they've unlocked their bootloaders.

DD'ing blobs *should* work still, although YMMV.
nice! now let's hope for a good recovery and custom roms!
As much as I want to use this I'm not going too. Don't want to lose my warranty as I dont trust this device with the amount of problems that surround it so far. Also wont get OTA updates. Asus know how to screw over there buyers, should of been unlocked before release.
Hm, did anyone get fastboot to work? For me it stays for ever at the line "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol"
Does it wipe the device?

There is not really a usable recovery. Only the OTA one which just shows you an error once you start it. (Because there is no OTA file to apply)
Once booting with VOL_DOWN you can choose between a cold boot, wiping data or entering fastboot mode (which does not really seem to work for me)

Youre already in fastboot mode. Simply follow the instructions for using fastboot to unlock. This is not a hardbrick and is a normal part of unlucking phones on 4.5.91+.

this programe has the fix of your problem. RUN the 'MAIN.bat' in the file. I do not remember its number in the menu but the menu will lead you to solve the problem. It must be 'FIX 105:1:2' or something like that.

read the whole thread. the answer should be there.
I would flash ClockWorkMod as recovery.
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager (search for Atrix 4G)
I prefer the Touch version, much easier to use.
Then just flash with fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery <yourImagePath>.img

Also, check out ePinter's CM10 (not the 10.1, it's not that stable), which you can flash from the new recovery. Don't forget the Google Apps package (install AFTER the main image).

Before I get into detail of what I need help with understanding. I also want to make clear why i started this thread. Its for the special idiots like myself that just cant seem to connect the dots when it comes to their specific build. I'm asking is there anybody willing to help me understand the the connections between the steps that are needed to be taken when Updating your phone to S-off, and/or this and that leak or whatever. I been reading all day. And there's great info out there just not a "connect the dots" type of explanation. If here is anybody willing to help me take the specific steps that my rezound specific build requires, please let me know. If there is a problem with me starting this thread then i guess it needs to be deleted.
also
Not just S-off but also what other things i needs to do and in what order. I also wouldnt mind a "why" explanation, because if i can understand why then i will probably stop asking "How?"

I would try to S-off first. You are currently on early ICS Firmware. You can't go back to GB firmware while S-on so that is not an option. I didn't use the S-off toolkit for S-off, but I used an earlier all in one to get rooted and flash recoveries. A member just asked about S-off yesterday, go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768938 and read about it. There are several threads on various aspects of S-off, just read through them. Come back with specific questions.
Use an old SD card if you have one. DON'T unlock the phone again.
When you are S-off, go ahead and flash AmonRA, and then your new ROM.
I everyone im new but read a whole lot of hours to be able to come this "far"
Anyone what i did is 1. Root , 2. Unlock bootloader 3. Clockworkmod recovery , 4. Flash Codename Lungo
But i realized it had NO FileManager, Browser or 3rd party market installed
I can't find a proper "guide" or download source where to download Fdroid in a .zip file that i can flash trough CWM or do whatever app i like that way. The most important thing right now is that i can somehow install a FileManager that way i can atleast do more things and install apks how im used to
I tried AROMA but can't understand the terminal

First of all that kind of language is not tolerated on Xda!! :silly:
boomboomer was like me trying to help you by stopping you posting in the wrong forum because if you do any information or flashing of software from the wrong forum can brick your device. Now if you had done all the research you say you have done then you will know that I9300 international does not have a locked bootloader unless you have a magic phone that nobody else does! You may well have a I9300 but you did not unlock the bootloader! Also keep up the foul language (it will soon get you banned!

Man i couldn't Flash and install CWM if i didn't unlock the boot loader. You can think whatever you like i installed an APK called un-lock or something swiped "unlock bootload" and a green mark appear with avoice saying "that was easy".
So now go ahead and think whatever you like about it and stop telling me i write in the wrong forum when i have i9300 posting in Q&A help & troubleshooting section. Are there not one single person here who is normal who could post something instead of these two idiots.

I acquired a second hand Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e. It arrived with its bootloader unlocked. Apparently an attempt to install a custom ROM had been trialed but not completed.
I would like now to relock the bootloader cause it‘s preventing some apps to function properly, as a security measure.

Check the version you have on the device at the moment and download stock ROM for your device and flash with odin.
The reason is if you are on pie (Android 9) you can upgrade to (Android 10) but not vice versa.
Hi. I’m on Android 10 already
isn’t there a way without formatting, losing my apps/settings ?

No. Re-locking the bootloader will cause a "factory reset". If you still haven't found out how, look for the unlocking instructions in the Questions thread. The same instructions work to re-lock.

As mentioned above locking the device will wipe it. Second the device must be entirely factory, restore it with Odin (is likely the best idea). If it is not, you're going to have a bad time. Next I must admit, I've never done this, as I've never had a desire to run factory software... So you've been warned... you're on your own. OEM unlocking must still be enabled. When you go back into the Unlock section (plug in USB, holding all buttons) you should be greeted with a screen but this time asking if you want to lock the boot loader. Note, Knox will still be tripped even if you lock the bootloader. At least that is my understanding, so you will not be entirely stock, and certain apps still will not work (payment apps).
Personally if it were me I'd say you're almost better off trying a custom ROM like Lineage, and use a custom fingerprint so the device comes up as certified. I don't have any apps that don't work. However I guess it all depends on your use case. Remember locking your bootloader is risky.
