There is a way with the all in one tool if you unlocked using HTCDev, and it calls fastboot oem lock.
But this will show *RELOCKED* on your bootloader screen.

If I was to root my phone with s-on using htcdev, would I then be able to switch to s-off when it is released and have my warranty back? Thanks.

from reading from other threads if you do unlock from htcdev unfortunately even if you do switch to s-off you already have unlocked through htcdev and i think they keep your imei or something like that if i can remember..
so basically you unlock and they know who has done it through the site.

Most probably not.. I don't think its even possible to relock it properly after unlocking with htcdev, if you try it'll say 'relocked' in fast boot not 'locked'

Yes! You flash any ROM you want if you are rooted and unlocked BL

No no, EMMA does not relock your bootloader. EMMA was specifically designed for phones with unlocked bootloader. It is your choice if you want to relock the bootloader.

Getting S-OFF is equivalent to unlocking the bootloader.

Locked is S-On if I'm not mistaken. Unlocked is S-Off.

I get your uneasiness, but in the simplest terms, if the bootloader is S-ON and not HTCDev unlocked, it is locked.
You can unlock the bootloader from the HTCDev website, but there are caveats for flashing custom ROMs, namely that the boot.img file needs to be extracted from the ROM and flashed separately using fastboot.
The easier approach is to use the methods outlined to gain S-OFF. This gives you more control not only to flash custom ROMs, but also unsigned radios.
I tried it both ways (HTCDev and S-OFF). I'm much happier being S-OFF.
