How to LOCK HTC Bootloader ?!?

My Evo is on Hboot 2.18, rooted, S-ON.
lets say something happens to the phone where i have to get a replacement...
How can i RE-LOCK my bootloader ?
i ask this because i heard that you cant return your phone after the phone is rooted (which can easily be undone but the bootloader...) or unlocked.
i just want to know how to get it back to factory default.. thanks
and i have insurance on my phone through insurion , so if my phone was to stop charging or the screen cracked, they wouldnt check if the bootloader is unlocked right ?

plug it into computer and put your phone into fast boot. Navigate to where fast boot.exe is located in cmd on your computer . And type fastboot oem lock I believe the command was and it should relock your bootloader

your bootloader will still show tampered, you'll need to follow the guide on downgrading your bootloader before you can have an official HTC "Untampered" lock.

thanks, i now understand that if something were to happen with my phone causing me to need a replacement, it would be through sprint/asurion. so no need to worry any more

This thread will walk you through all the steps to lock the bootloader without it saying relocked, so Sprint wont know you unlocked it in the first place. It even has a link to a stock rom you can flash, and the instructions how to flash it after locking the bootloader. I broke my screen 2 days after unlocking my phone. This took me half a day to find and 15 minutes to do once I read it.

Did OTA brocked my htc one x?

here's the situation
i have recently bought refurbished htc one x
i wanted to update it with offical jelly bean update it showed me
th update downloaded and i proceed to install it, i was a long time on the installing icon so i left my phone, when i got back it wouldnt turn on like the batery was empty
before doing the update it showed around 50% so i wasnt thinking about it, but it seems i died during the update
now - i cannot turn my phone on, its stuck on htc logo, i can access bootloader mode, it says i have hboot 1,12
radio 5.1204.162,29
the bootloader is locked
could someone tell me in simple steps how to bring it alive? is it even possible?

I havent flashed my one x in a while, but try charge it as much as you can while in recovery or bootloader mode.
Then try unlocking the bootloader using htcdev and Hasoons all in one toolkit from the dev section.
That will help you get a custom recovery installed and allow you to reinstall another firmware.
Not sure how much you already know so I apologise if this is basic info haha.
Also dont forget to flash the boot.img if you go with a custom rom
Good luck

Return it for repair if you can. Unlocking bootloader is the hard way out if you ask me.

A ruu might be a way out, but it's a long shot because the ruu doesn't need a unlocked bootloader.

Try this first.
I completely forgot about RUUs. You need to get the one that matches your CID

Sending it for repair isnt really an option as i bought the device and now im leaving the uk.
so they would send it back to me as ill be in another country.
also i opened it as i had the anthena problem but i solved it.
software speaking, as that is the problem, is it harf to fix?
i had couple of androids and customized all of them, but im new to htc and all that ruu,cids...
i dont mind custom rom, right now i just want to recover any functionality.
So if the ruu is the easiest way out is there a newbie tutorial? as i cant find it
and is unlocking the bootloader, flashing a custom recovery ans rom is so complicated to other devices?
i dont.know.what do you nean by flashing boot.img while flashing rom

When you run an ruu the computer end of it walks you through what to do. Make sure you have latest version of htc sync installed and do exactly what it says. Also returning it is the best option under normal circumstances. I did exactly that when ota wrecked my shift

[Q] Urgent Need to revert back to stock for warranty service

Ok so I have installed arhd and want to revert back to stock for warranty service
I made a Nandroid backup before unlocking the bootloader
Please guide me through the process
specs:-
cid-11111111
hboot-1.36
s-off

U can't get completely to stock. You have to install your main version RUU after locking the bootloader, but u will face the problem where the bootloader says 'relocked' instead of 'locked'

So will I be able to get warranty service or not

I don't think so dude.

Can anyone else confirm this fact?

You can easily return to stock and run any ruu because you have s-off
with s-off you can also LOCK the bootloader instead of relocked, so lock it and send it for warranty

Depends on what is the problem with Your HOX. If they need to replace Your motherboard then You gonna pay for it. HTC official policy... I'm from Poland and I sent it for repair 3 times. Everytime they needed to replace motherboard. And they did it two times even with relocked bootloader (don't know why, maybe they always repair phones with broken autorotation? common issue with hox. coz it was the case with first and second repair). 3rd time I got problem with screen backlight and bang - ~$300 . I tried contacting with HTC Poland and HTC Taiwan but same answer. If bootloader was unlocked and motherboard needs to be replaced You need to pay for it. Any other issue with any other part and they fix it for free. So hard to tell really. You may be lucky What is Your issue with HOX? You may also consider burning down the motherboard... They will not be able to tell if You had bootloader unlocked... But it's kinda cheating... I just read somewhere that some dude did it and they replaced his motherboard for free

Can you explain how to lock bootloader
I have a nandroid backup can I use that for restoring my phone
Please explain
Thanks for everyone that helped really appreciate all replies
And I just realized that putting "urgent" in my title of the thread does not mean that my question is more important than others

Any help will be appreciated

An s-off hox also can show relocked only.

HTC ONE Questions. -Unlocked -> Locked

Hi XDA. My problem is that I sent my ONE to HTC due to the "No Sim Error" i was getting. When it got there, they told me that i had to pay 200 to fix it (voided warranty by rooting/unlocking bootloader). So they sent it back and I know my problem is that the bootloader says relocked instead of locked. So is it possible for me to gain soff/root with rumrunner again, then use revone to relock it, then flash the ruu so it is 100% stock? Or would using revone not be possible? Also, if i send it back to HTC will they still say that the warranty has been voided even if the phone now says locked (as it did when it was stock)? Thanks.

What version hboot do you have? What software version is on the phone? Go to settings, about, software info, and see the software number.

In the future do this to reset lock status. It works once rooted and s off.

And this to set back to s on

I don't know if they keep records but it's worth a shot. If they sent it back to you with 4.3 it is not currently exploitable but probably will be soon. Do you still have s off on device or did they lock it up? Because if you have s off you can just manually change whatever you want.

[Q] Help! Can't flash to recovery...

So here's the deal. I have the T-MOB010 HTC one M8. I want to flash it to recovery so I can trade it in for a new phone at T Mobile (Either the Nexus 6 or the One M9.) I have S On, an unlocked boot loader and the tampered flag on the splash screen on startup. I am currently on Skydragon's latest One M8 Rom. I need to be able to get back to factory, remove the tampered warning on startup of the device, and if at all possible lock the boot loader and get the boot loader to show that it hasn't been tampered, unlocked, relocked, etc. If that's possible then that's great. I don't see them going into the boot loader at the T mobile store though. In any case, I've run the RUU and it always encounters an error and will not let me flash back to recoVery. I've also tried using some TWRP files to flash back and it will not let me. It won't let me run them from the restore option in the area where I go to flash a Rom. Now that all these new phones are out, I really want to upgrade but if I can't flash this back, that won't be happening. Any suggestions? I really need the help.

I'm assuming you mean, flash to STOCK. If so, you have to relock the bootloader FIRST then you can run the HTC RUU for T-Mobile and that will bring the phone back to Factory Stock. However, I have yet to see a case where a T-Mobile worker ever checks the phone, I have turned in two and my brother has turn in two also with custom ROM and recoveries... all they care about is that you turn in a phone period.
