Hi there,
I have a One X with S-OFF, which says ***LOCKED*** in fastboot. When I try to flash a recovery or a boot.img via fastboot command line, I get an error saying FAILED:remote not allowed. I presume this is caused by the bootloader being locked. But then, since I have S-OFF, i should be able to simply unlock and re-lock without too much hassle by using fastboot oem unlock. However, this doesn't seem to work, I get the following error:
C:\Flashing>fastboot oem unlock
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.017s]
finished. total time: 0.018s

It's really locked, because when I try fastboot oem lock it says "device was already locked!"
Does anyone have an idea what is causing this, and why I can't simply unlock the bootloader?
Thanks in advance!
You need, however, unlock your bootloader with htc dev..
Why would I need to do that? That's the whole use of my S-OFF without HTCDev: so that HTC doesn't know I have it.
I always see HOX with s-off but locked, and for rooting this you have to unlock your bootloader with htcdev..
I don't know why, but htc don't know that you have s-off if you will unlock your bootloader...
Sounds weird indeed. Unlocking of the bootloader should really not be necessary when having a S-OFF phone.
Could you post a picture of your phone in HBOOT screen?

HTC don't know you have unlocked because when you relock the bootloader. It will change back to locked instead of relocked

I am s off and I had to unlock my bootloader via htcdev before I could do anything.
Next time I lock it again I will check to see if it says re locked or locked. Never noticed.
If your concerned about it i will go through the locking and unlocking again to check when I get 5.

Ok so i ran fastboot oem lock on my htcdev unlocked bootloader on my s off one x and it now says relocked.
So unless there is some other command I can run to make it say locked only then it is apparent to anyone that looks that its been re locked just like an s on device.

For Lock and not Relock our device, we need a patch in the partition when there are the line for the write.
In a qualcomm device is simple and dev made s-off and relock with "lock" line.
In our Tegra 3 device is "impossible" at the moment, and nobody, that i know, can make s-off for all...

So no way to lock fully even with an s off device?

On our HOX, no.
In One XL i think is possible...
there is definitely a way because I have an s-off with super cid , refurbished.bought it here in China, and to tell you the truth us guys would never know till the underground Chinese shops leak it. they even have a way to s-off and lock!. not talking about relock...but I guess we would never know

You just need to unlock your bootloader again. What exactly isn't working? If you still have the Unlockcode.bin file, just type this into fastboot "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin". If not just follow the original root guide up to where you unlock it.
Hello everyone,
i need your help: i have to sell my p6 but i've unlocked my bootloader. the point is: Can i block my bootloader? And if i can how can i do it?
thx
Code:
fastboot oem relock XXXXX
Where XXXXX is your 16-digit unlock code.
Before relocking, flash firmware using 3 buttons method to revert device to factory state.

Hi, I have a R800x with a locked bootloader, when I go into Tap Service info > Configuration, there is no option for "Rooting Status" is there anyway to still unlock my phone? The reason I want to unlock my bootloader is so I can overclock my phone.
(if it helps, my file system ver is: VERIZON_3.0.1.E.0.88)
[EDIT] I tried using the sony method, then I typed into cmd "fastboot oem device-info" and got back "FAILED"
Please help me
I'm selling my HTC 10 which I debranded and converted to the US model (after unlocking the bootloader and obtaining s-off).
I want to sell it with the US ROM on it, but need to remove the red warning text on the boot screen.
I incorrectly assumed that this was caused by having an unlocked bootloader, however locking the bootloader hasn't removed this. Do I need to s-on to remove the text? I tried "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3", but it failed. Is this because I relocked the bootloader?
Do I need to unlock it again, run fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 and then relock it?
i remove that Red text flashing a run.exe and I was S-OFF/LOCKED.
Fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" don't relock bootloader. This command is for change to S-ON

I know fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 doesn't relock the bootloader. I'd already locked the bootloader with fastboot oem lock.
Run.exe?

I ran the latest US RUU.exe and it wiped the phone, but didn't remove the red warning text.
Is the red warning text caused by having s-off?
I'm assuming that I don't need to return the phone to its original CID and MID in order to remove the red text.
Edit: I might try changing the MID back to the original, as another thread indicated that that can cause the problem.

You will probably need to flash original software on it.

I've fixed it by flashing the WWE version.
