Is there a process to go back to stock software, s-on, unlocked bootloader, and not tampered from a dev edition that is currently rooted, bootloader unlocked, not tampered, and s-off? I know this was possible with the M7.
Thanks,

No, you must leave soff, lock boot loader, but going s-on throws a tampered label again.
To anyone that has experience with a developer edition M7 or M8 that shipped with an unlocked bootloader:
What happens when you run 'fastboot oem lock' and then 'fastboot oem unlock'?
Will the lock even work?
Will it need an unlock token from htcdev?
Will it trip a tamper flag?
This is something I have never needed to do before. But how do you reset phone back to how it's was recieved from carrier
As in relock & turn s-on to on state
My phone need to go back to HTC for repair so any help would be appreciated

If you have a stock ruu for your phone, first flash that.
The only way I know to lock your bootloader and avoid it saying "relocked", is to go back to s-on first, then back to s-off/Locked using Sunshine, and then s-on again.
S-on command is (in download mode)
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
Can't seem to find any into on relocking the bootloader with S-on
other than HTC has disabled the oem lock in 7.0
So is there anyway I can downgrade to with a TWRP backup, flash a stock recovery file relock the bootloader and then run the latest RUU to update everything or do I need S-off to downgrade the bootloader to relock?
It's not for a warranty claim, I just want to use Android pay since it works with my bank now.
I'm assuming a ***RELOCKED*** flag would pass it's security check?
I don't have sunshine since I never went S-off.

You may want to look into flashing a custom kernel, like ElementalX. Hides the bootloader unlocked status from safetynet. You'd also need to have an untouched system partition as well for Android Pay to work.
You can simply relock the bootloader, no need to downgrade. But you will have to flash a RUU >= your current version. Done it several times, it works
The command world be "fastboot oem lock". Phone needs to be in download mode, obviously...
Relock flag passes safetynet, yes.

You sure?
I've tried it 3 times with a 2.41 RUU the command does what it should, but reboot still shows unlocked.

Enable OEM unlocking option in developer options from settings. Then the command.
A breadcrumb for anybody on the same trail...
If your bootloader status is still "unlocked" even after flashing a stock RUU and passing a seemingly successful "fastboot oem lock", try removing your SD card and "fastboot oem lock" again. After a load of messing around this immediately allowed me to gain "Relocked".
I loved my HTC10 in it's heyday but I'm so over all these HTC quirks
unrooted, relocked bootloader now stuck in bootloader reloop. trying to flash raw but keeps saying error unknown partition, help i just sold this phone on ebay need to ship it tomorrow and the buyer wanted me to remove root and relock bootloader
