Hi guys,
i've searched in the forum but i didn't found how to relock my phone (unlocked through htc.dev) so i can install the new HTC update.
Thanks

Imo that's impossible. Once unlocked via htcdev, its impossible to lock the phone again.

fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
But it will show 'RELOCKED' not 'LOCKED' as it did before...why don't people find this out BEFORE unlocking their handsets???

Thanks to all.
Dont forget to do a Nandroid backup or Titanium backup as your phone will be reset
An OTA does not reset the phone - if yours did then you were unlucky but the whole point of an OTA as opposed to an RUU is to NOT delete data

So today i bought a white one x and im a flashoholic so my question is if i unlock my bootloader via htcdev can i lock it again for waranty purpose?
You can only relock it again by doing "fastboot oem lock". But it will say **Relocked** in your bootloader so HTC will still know you unlocked it.
However I've never heard of anyone getting their warranty denied for hardware faults.

Hello Guys,
The title says my question. Hope somebody can help me out.
I'm about to root and unlock my HTC One V however I wanted first to know if there's a way to go back to stock (meaning the current state when i bought the phone i.e. locked and unrooted)
Thanks and more power!
Oh well nevermind. I found the tuts.
Hi
Just for "others" who might "find" this
These are actually to steps
-Apply RUU
-Relock bootloader
fastboot oem lock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706070
After that your device is again "stock"
BUT the header in the bootloader will always say "Relocked"
There is no way to get it back to the original "Locked"
Regards

As some of you may heard in the news, HTC is going to change its slogan from "quietly brilliant" to "bold, authentic and playful". My theory is that a future update will change the splash screen so the slogan on it to fit the devices look to the new marketing frame. Here is where the dev's and hackers can maybe start and search for an exploit. Maybe I'm wrong, but at least it's an idea since the progress in S-OFF development has literally stopped. Feel free to correct me
I won't .....
Edit :
And why is it that when an already s-off phone locks the bootloader it still says "relocked" what difference needs to be written to the phone to make it say locked. If we can't do that there is not much profit of a S-off device......in flashing and installing roms i mean.
Obtaining a "locked" bootloader would be the best, at least for warranty purposes !

Because the hboot.img needs editing, so the options are locked and locked, instead of relocked and locked. That's not difficult, don't think anyway.

Forgetting the warranty side it's handy to be able to download, install ROMs and nandroids all on the phone without requiring a pc to do fastboot commands + when a new firmware is out (like when jb was being rolled out) there is no waiting around for your cid to be supported. All minor but usefull. I'd still like to know if it's possible to get back to locked though.

Yeah getting it back to locked would be great. And you are right about the flashing stuff. Its just so that i got used to flash the phone with fastboot so much.....it would be strange to do it without
And where would i go as a helper on xda ? Flashing will be too easy, i could lose my job here
AW: Possible S-OFF exploit within the next update?

That's strange because it worked with no problems for my One X. You could also try THIS to unlock your bootloader, but the tool does the same steps that you manually did with the previous tutorial.
Maybe you have overlooked some minor detail in the steps. I would recommend starting fresh on a different PC and make sure you have the drivers up to date. If indeed you did everything right, you probably have a faulty device (I really don't think that is the case).

On your bootloader does it say relocked or security warning.
Hi everyone,
I have a One X with S-OFF .
How can I reset Relocked flag.
I hate to see "Relocked" on bootloader.
You cannot get rid of it, any way you never see it. How often do you enter recovery.
Sent from my fingers
at least twice a day
Does not anybody know?
can i replace the "mmcblk0p4" block with "locked" mmcblk0p4 block from another One x ? What happens if I try..
Is Relocked flag in this block?
Save yourself a brick and live with relocked......
thanks for your reply
maybe, i save myself a brick but don't live with relocked......:crying:
because, bluetooth does not work. I need to send the phone for service. but it was out of warranty.
i think.. maybe fix it and re-covered by warranty.
I guess I'm wrong.
The only s-off phones that successfully got the bootloader back to locked were bricked to the max.
my HOX is already S-OFF.
Once the RUU is installed, but it did not resolve.
There can be phones like the ONE XL or ONE m7
Why can not the ONE X.
I know the processor is different. but still must be a way
Please read carefully. The phones that had s-off and wanted to lock the bootloader got BRICKED ! a ruu does not lock the bootloader.
It's because of the tegra crap !.
ok. I understood.
Yeah sowwy
I am back to S-ON and I will send phone to service.
and when it comes back to sell it.
and an even more stay from tegra.

Your choice
Relocked Flaf remove
Hello Guys! I would like to overwrite the flag relocked to locked on my HTC. My H.One no longer has any trace of root, boot recovery is the original factory and the current state of HTC's S-ON. Everything perfect! Original RUU factory, no bug, it's all right. My only fear is not guaranteed to be valid, for the simple fact that the bootloader be "relocked". How can I override this? Without changing the S-On to S-Off?
