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.

go to boot loader by pressing and holding down volume button and the power button
keep holding until you see the boot menu
in the the top of the screen it will be "Locked" or "Unlocked"

Thank u for all info but for the last post, locked or unlocked is just for the bootloader, s-on or s-off is other thing, is to get access to the whole thing, from the info i got, if u get the s-off u dont need to flash boot.img and u get permanent root access and other stuff.
either way i would like to know if its already possible to switch from s-on to s-off.....
Thanks again

No, there's no way to achieve S-Off if you didn't get it shipped with it.

So that basically means those with S-Off does not void the warranty because you do not unlock the bootloader?
Yes but its near impossible to achieve at the min but we do have to guys workin on it so hopefully soon

S-Off can void warrenty, you can mess-up more then unlocked, because all parts of the memory can be reached. So if you mess-up your phone yourself because it's S-Off, you can loose warrenty.

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.

I want to return my M8 but I rooted it.
Is it possible to go back to stock?
Maybe I overlooked a topic somewhere.
At this moment I'm S-ON and Relocked.
Yes, just read and learn somewhere around. There should be someone who made guide for that

S-ON, Tampered gone, LOCKED

THat's one thing I did.
With bootloader unlocked I got S-Off with firewater.

Then I flashed stock recovery
