Hi, everyone.
I have a question to ask you guys. Is it possible to come back to "locked" status after I unlock it? I really need to get this status to be "locked" because I need to go to HTC care to claim my phone and they said that I need to do "locked" before claiming it. What should I do? Help me please. Thanks!
PS. They said status "relocked" can't claim too. Just only "locked" can claim.

you just can lock again With fastboot OEM lock ,but i recomment to save the unlock_code.bin

Once you "unlock" your phone, you can never have it "lock" as the original. Only "relocked" is the best you can do.

Arr, that's really bad news for me. Therefore, I can't claim because it never goes back to "locked", right? How do I do? Arr, really stress!!!

Can only be relocked.. never lock
I have heard and I don't believed everything I hear but as long as phone is exactly back to stock minuse the relock on screen it is not a total void.... since HTC gives out the unlock code them self's it is a loop but if it can be proven that it has been altered it is..... now I'm sure I am wrong and I will try to research this more and post either my verification or my d
Failure on this subject so for all u reaching for the replay bottom already just snap that finger back.... one again THIS IS NOT FACT THIS IS RUMOR!!!!!!!!

Ok I have rooted and flashed cwm recovery now I want to flash a new rom but if found out its not as easy as usual i don't get it plz help

Have you unlocked your boot loader? or is it locked?
You need to start there.. If you installed the CWM for locked bootloaders it will not help you as you can not install a new kernel.
How do I find out?

Lol, i unlocked my bootloader and i havent paid for it. You just need to know if bootloader is unlockable. And if you dont know what to do, i wouldnt recommend it to you doing it.

Yea I get that I don't think I can unlock it like I said I looked to see if it could and I'm missing the root settings in that pop up menu

Goto the Phone Application and type in:*#*#7378423#*#*
Then tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If: Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes, then you can Unlock your bootloader. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked
Please Press the THANK YOU Button, if it helped you )
It doesent give me the root status option

Can any one direct me to the roms for locked bootloaders plz
Sent from my R800at using Tapatalk 2
lets not make it more complicated then it is
1 if you dont know if you bootloader is unlocked its NOT !. you need to unlock it first before you move on from here ! once that is done you move on to step 2 .
2 if you have CMW flashed. then when you turn on your phone Click the volume up button untill it boots in to recovery. once ther you can flash CM9.
if you have the GMS version you can do it your self directly from sony's website. Not sure about verizon and other CMDA versions.

Ps. Remember to put CM9 zip you Downloaded on the root of the SD card. otherwise you cant ofcause not flash it.

not neccesarily as it could be preowned or the service menu apk removed or various other things.
also wrong, you can only unlock gsm sim unlocked and a few locked ones not all gsm phones.

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.

Faux Locked Hboots?
You can truly lock it with soff but you still have soff. I don't think HTC will fall for faux hboots.
