A few months back, 2 months to be exact, i flashed back my stock nandroid and then relocked the bootloader. So now it shows bootloader : relocked in fastboot.. i wanted to confirm that if i am still on my stock rom with a relocked bootloader, will i get ota updates from htc like a normal stock phone??

Yes if you have stock recovery and stock rom then you can get OTA's.
Bootloader can also stay unlocked

You can't delete the traces of your unlocked boot loader. If you are going back to stock and locking the boot loader, it won't say Locked Bootloader, instead it will say relocked bootloader.

Thats good enough for me lol how do i go about that ???
Hello, I have a One X that I relocked the bootloader for send it to HTC. Actually my One X is running a official 4.0.3 version and always says that I have new updates availables.
I want to know if I need to do something special to update it without bricking the phone or I can do it normally.
Also I have doubts about if now with my relocked bootloader I can unlock it with the same process that I use the first time that I did it.
Thanks in advance.
If you are fully stock....
Stock Rom (not rooted)
Stock kernel (boot.img)
Stock recovery
You can leave your Bootloader locked, should not be a problem !

Thanks for your answer, I have stock rom, kernel and recovery. What about the process to unlock again the bootloader for install custom roms? Can I do it like the last time? Thanks in advance.
The process is exactly the same. You can even use the same unlock code .bin file to unlock

Thanks again.
i have rooted my HOX and installed CM 10.1 for some times , after that i have came back to the stock recovery which i have taken at the time of root.
now currently i have installed new kernel on the stock htc sense rom.
my question is , can i get official OTA updates given by htc with this current condition or i have to unroot and re-lock bootloader ?

I've rooted my HTC One X ( ICS CIDnum H3G_001) and flashed ViperX 2.7.0 (ICS) custom ROM. I tried to upgrade ViperX 3.7.8 (JB) and flashed the appropiate boot.img but after installation was frozen on the ViperX 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' splash screen so I reverted back to stock ROM through Nandroid backup and relocked my bootloader so I could install the stock OTA JB update. Now all I get is ...this device is for development purposes...etc. in red text on my 'Quietly Brilliant' splash screen. I'm back on ICS stock ROM with bootloader unlocked but would dearly be able to install the ViperX JB ROM.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Any suggestions? :good:
Thanks in advance.

And if you are on full stock there is no need to relock the bootloader. Saves some flashing and unlocking.

Lock not 'relock' bootloader.

Are you saying if I do a Nandroid backup with my current ROM then save it to my laptop, do a factory reset I don't have to lock my
bootloader to get OTA updates Mr. Hofs?
P.S. Sorry about the delay, been offline.
No in order to receive ota you do not need to relock the bootloader, all you need is stock rom, kernel and recovery

correct but i believe the question was aimed towards OTA's and not warranty and as such, no locked and relocked act the same.

yes, my question is referring to ota, i didn't care much about it but, is there any way to change it into "LOCKED" again, if there's no method it's ok either.
No cant change it to locked
I have to get 100% stock for warrenty.. my devices is s-off, custom recovery, bootloader unlocked and custom rom. Will i get to stock with these steps: ?
- flash the stock rom (from my nadroid backup)
- flash the stock recovery
- set the bootloader to "locked"
- go back s-on
do i need an unlocked bootloader to get s-on ("writesecureflag 3) ?
Thanks!
If you used htcdev to unlock the boot loader, this can be a problem since HTC can see it!

If you're already on stock Sense 6 before doing these steps, I would think flashing stock recovery is enough. Then you can manually boot into the OS and do a factory reset from within the settings, before sending it off for warranty repairs.

You can try spoofing S-ON status through hboot. I have not tried this before, so proceed with caution. You can read about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708721.

Does it work to flash files (.zip & recovery) with a locked bootloader but s-off? And is it possible to get s-on with a locked bootloader?
Okay, thanks guys! I just "stocked" my phone The only thing that´s left is s-off. Do you recommend to go back s-on?
I successfully returned my M8 back to full stock (no root, locked bootloader and S-On). I wrote about my experiences here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55374704&postcount=7
