Hi,
you won't get back your warranty just by flashing the original SE software and relocking your bootloader.
If you want to go ahead: As I am not allowed to "spam the forum" by link to an site... ask google this: arc relock bootloader
and take the first link.
wts the process if i want to re-unlock my bootloader after relocking it? thx

You can flash your old unlock_code.bin if you still have it.

And if I root and install a custom rom is it possible to unroot and install stock ROM and lock the bootloader again? If I need to go to the repair center for example.

you can go back to stock rom. and you can RElock your bootloader. but it won't be locked as it was before unlocking.
It only will show "RELOCKED" and the repair service will know whats up
Yeahp , it's possible to flash back to stock ROM , unroot and relock the bootloeader again . But at HBoot , it will say Relocked not Locked . But the repair center will definitely know that you've played with it before ... But that doesn't mean that they won't give you warranty , depends on the center .
I have a tmobel gsm wildfire s
I have some problems with the headphone jack. I dont think T-Mobile would like it if I had a custom rom with the bootloader unlocked any way to fix this so they will fix the phone for me?
I tryed to flash ruu with no luck I unlocked bootloader once more.
Can some one link a stock rom I can flash va recovery.
Then I will just relock the bootloader best I can do I gess and send it in

Do you not have a Nandroid backup of your Stock ROM you can flash?
I did have it stored but it became corrupt. I fixed the phone but it would be nice to have backup of stock rom.
I think I seen a few links to what should be it but i wanted to double check Since there are cdma version on this phone

Which bootloader do you have? Search for superversion downgrade and flash it with cwm recovery aand select the appropriate option . Then flash the ruu of your area and carrier.

So, i just bought this one X from a tech reviewer, it's s-off and cid is like 111111111111, now how do i flash a custom recovery? Can i simply use the one x toolkit and jump straight to recovery flashing?
R: [Q] S-OFF, then how to flash recovery without unlocking the bootloader?
I think you still have to unlock the bootloader and flash with fastboot the recovery

As i know, u still have to unlockbootloader, install the custom recovery like CWM through fastboot
R: [Q] S-OFF, then how to flash recovery without unlocking the bootloader?
As recovery, I recommend TWRP, is better than CWM

i don't think it's possible
I have the same. Unlock bootloader as normal. Use the hassoon toolkit if you like. Enjoy s-off and flash any hboot. I use cwm for recovery. Flash your Rom as usual, you don't need to worry about flashing the boot.img separately when you have s-off.
Enjoy

DONT UNLOCK BOOTLOADER. It's not needed at all, all it will do is destroy your waranty!

If you have only the s-off and if the bootloader is locked, you can't do anything...
Sorry afaik you need a unlocked bootloader at least to flash the custom recovery....its not possible without unlocking it even if you have s-off. You will get errors while flashing it with fastboot.....
Yep, I needed mine unlocked to flash custom recovery.
Assume you read the HTC disclaimer when doing it. If you want to flash then we take the risks.
Technically your warranty is not completely void however if HTC think they can blame a fault on the use of a custom Rom then they probably will. For example if the hw buttons break this obviously is not a Rom problem.
