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

Hi all,
I've just got my one x yesterday and about to flash android hd from mike. However i encounter some problem when proceeding on firmware upgrade.
My phone is still on 1.26 and i am trying to flash the pj46img.zip. bootloader has already been unlocked
1. I placed the pj46img on the root of SD, however when i boot into bootloader it is not going to search for the update, which looks abnormal (i previously owned a desire z and to my understanding it will search for the img.zip files before it let me netvigates the menu to fastboot/recovery. That's not my case on one x)
2. i checked my cid is showing "none" which i understand this is normal since i have unlocked via htcdev.com. I tried to relock my bootloader in order to get official ota flashed. However when i type "fastboot oem relock" it will show (bootloader) lock successfully following with "fail (read content is too long)"
And on hboot screen it is showing "relocked **security warning**" and i was not able to get to cwm thus can't flash in recovery as well.
It would be highly appreciated if someone can provide some checking or solution. Let me know if you need my clarification (sorry for poor english). At the moment i am sticking with leedroid
Thanks all in advance

Go back and unlock it again then flash CWM and superuser.
Flash a stock rom or a backup if you did any?
After flashing the stock 1.26xx you will automatically have the update pop up, download and install.
This is what I did anyways. The bootloader can be unlocked and update official anyways.
And also I think you were suppose to type 'fastboot oem lock' not relock.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!
I'm trying this too....
Last night I tried to flash my stock ROM (O2 UK branded) - but downloaded the wrong RUU. So I couldn't flash a completely stock ROM.
I ended up putting Mike's stock ROM on, and tried to flash update.zip via CWM - but got errors.
I am presuming this is because it's not a completely stock ROM, flashed via RUU??
I have now got the correct RUU for my handset, so I am going to try both using PJ46IMG method - and update.zip via CWM
One thing - I am currently running Insert Coin 3.2.0 (which is 1.28 base), do I have to step down to a 1.26 ROM before flashing back the stock recovery, and re-locking bootloader, then running 1.26 RUU?
Or can I just go straight to flashing back stock recovery & re-locking bootloader, then flashing stock RUU?

How did you get on with the flashing img.zip? I seem to be stuck with it not flashing either
Hi Everyone.
I'm having some difficulty returning security to on and also having the tampered banner removed. I'm hoping to send my phone back to warranty.
I've used this guide to get me through it but it left me with S-OFF http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751011
I've then tried this guide to get me back to stock with S-ON but it retriggered the tampered flag after I turned it off: http://theunlockr.com/2014/06/08/how-to-unroot-the-htc-one-m8-video/
Does anyone know if there is a way to enable security to on without triggering the tampered flag? Or if I'm doing something wrong with these steps.
Thanks for all your help in advance.
Find the appropriate RUU (If your carrier released it) and run it, it will remove the "tampered". FYI, next time dont worry about S-off so much. With S-off you could of put back on the stock recovery and relocked the bootloader and just sent it back w/ S-off, some 1% of devices mistakenly leave the factory w/ s-off.
HTC already has a record of you (based on your IMEI) unlocking the bootloader via HTCDev.com. You're going through a lot of effort to try to hide what HTC will already knows (that you modded the phone).

Htc know that just u take unlock code from them but they don't know if u use that code to unlock or not. U can just take that code and keeping for future so even if u have that code this doesn't mind u already unlock ur device. So if ur s off is always better to s on ur device for sending for repair
That just mine opinion ?
I just followed all of the steps to unlock the bootloader through HTCDev, but I'm having trouble in getting it to an unlocked state. Every time I flash the unlock_code.bin in fastboot, it prompts me if I want to unlock the bootloader, I select yes and the device formats and restarts. After I go through the initial setup again and enable usb debugging to reboot into fastboot, the status of the phone is still locked. Is there some step I missed to unlock this phone or is there a problem with HTCdev?

I had trouble when I unlocked mine, but not with what you're describing. When I received my initial unlock code, I had done the HTCdev method with choosing one (M8) for my phone and the file would not flash. I re-ran HTCdev choosing "all other devices" and everything worked like a charm. Worth a shot.
I ended up getting it working by downloading the latest software update and trying again. I was just trying to get a GPE rom on here quickly because sense was aggravating me so much. Hopefully this helps anyone else that ends up having this problem!
Remember to get s-off first

It sounds like that is already bootloader unlocked. Boot into recovery and see if it's stock or not. If recovery is stock, you need to install twrp or cwm then you can flash a rom. If one of those is already there you're ready to flash a rom already. Instructions on installing recoveries and roms, etc are here in the forums if you do a quick search.
thankssomuch
awesome..after updating to 4.4.4 ,everything worked like charm....thanks a zillion:good::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Hi guys,
I have an HTC one mini its says locked on the bootloader screen with OS 1.32.502.3 and S-on I tried everything did the HTC Dev bootloader unlock did nott work it goes thru all the steps and says ok at the end but nothing happens on the phone tried the recovery but it goes right back to bootloader screen Please Help
sir can any one help to revert to unmodified and locked boot loader for my htc desire eye CID htc_044 version 2.19.707.1. i tried many ways but failed only ending with relocked status not locked and unmodified?
You can't go back. Ever. Sorry to disappoint you there. Once you unlocked the device, it will always reveal you tampered with it.
sad news? in Sony brand there is flash tool to lock it again .litools?ke that is there any tool or paid version .
some body guide?
You can lock it again, but it will always show relocked. Unless you patch around at your hboot, trying to get rid of that message, but possibly bricking the phone. It's the deal you get with HTC: Official support to unlock, no hacking around needed - but as a drawback they'll always know.
Hi there guys, i'm a new user of this fantastic smartphone called HTC 10. I've got a problem with mine when trying to go back to stock after unlocking the bootloader for some modding.
I'm looking for someone who guides me to set everything as original, just because i've not found what i wanted.
Right now my biggest question is related about "Software Status: modified " and "S-on: Relocked".
is there any way to switch them?
Tried with ruu.exe but nothing seems to change.
I'm on cid HTC__034 baseband 2.41.401.4
Any help would be appreciated.
ps: sorry for my english, but it's not my first language (italian one).
S-off is needed, you can use sunshine app for 25$, then you can change software status or "relocked" to "locked", but you don't need it to be stock.
Well so, once I go s-off locked what I might do? Flash the full rom? The firmware? What?

Your question seemed to be asking how to set your bootloader to Locked. The post above yours is correct, get Sunshine and select S-off/Locked.
From there, you can flash an appropriate ruu to fully get back to stock.
