are you s off?

no, im sON

Only way to put it back totally stock is to be S-off.

yeah, i dont even think about paying 25$ to s-off...
and i have one more problem: i got "Software status : Modified", i want it Official (Original), do i need s-off to make it ?
i was searching some threads and i found that flashing RUU can solve this problem but i can find RUU from my carrier (Plus, Poland)

Just a thought... 25 dollars to s-off could save you getting charged for your repair if they see you're "relocked" and deny your warranty. ?

i know but its a "mechanical" issue not the software so they should reapir it even bootloader is unlocked ;P but i want be sure they'll do it without any problems
is possible to make Software Status : Official from Modified ?
(S-ON)
Is 25$ s-off way , can be use multiply on my device ?

You'll need S-OFF to completely return to stock with no tampering signs.... But, if they don't send you back your same device , you would need to purchase Sunshine again unfortunately. Or stay s-on.
Sunshine license is for one device only.
If they send same unit back, yes, it will work again.
But switching back to s-on is really not necessary when you send it in. I've sent mine in with s-off and many others have without issue. But that's your call. ?

[Q] How can reset or clear Relocked flag on bootloader

Hi everyone,
I have a One X with S-OFF .
How can I reset Relocked flag.
I hate to see "Relocked" on bootloader.
You cannot get rid of it, any way you never see it. How often do you enter recovery.
Sent from my fingers
at least twice a day
Does not anybody know?
can i replace the "mmcblk0p4" block with "locked" mmcblk0p4 block from another One x ? What happens if I try..
Is Relocked flag in this block?
Save yourself a brick and live with relocked......
thanks for your reply
maybe, i save myself a brick but don't live with relocked......:crying:
because, bluetooth does not work. I need to send the phone for service. but it was out of warranty.
i think.. maybe fix it and re-covered by warranty.
I guess I'm wrong.
The only s-off phones that successfully got the bootloader back to locked were bricked to the max.
my HOX is already S-OFF.
Once the RUU is installed, but it did not resolve.
There can be phones like the ONE XL or ONE m7
Why can not the ONE X.
I know the processor is different. but still must be a way
Please read carefully. The phones that had s-off and wanted to lock the bootloader got BRICKED ! a ruu does not lock the bootloader.
It's because of the tegra crap !.
ok. I understood.
Yeah sowwy
I am back to S-ON and I will send phone to service.
and when it comes back to sell it.
and an even more stay from tegra.

Hello Guys! I would like to overwrite the flag relocked to locked on my HTC. My H.One no longer has any trace of root, boot recovery is the original factory and the current state of HTC's S-ON. Everything perfect! Original RUU factory, no bug, it's all right. My only fear is not guaranteed to be valid, for the simple fact that the bootloader be "relocked". How can I override this? Without changing the S-On to S-Off?

HTC ONE Questions. -Unlocked -> Locked

Hi XDA. My problem is that I sent my ONE to HTC due to the "No Sim Error" i was getting. When it got there, they told me that i had to pay 200 to fix it (voided warranty by rooting/unlocking bootloader). So they sent it back and I know my problem is that the bootloader says relocked instead of locked. So is it possible for me to gain soff/root with rumrunner again, then use revone to relock it, then flash the ruu so it is 100% stock? Or would using revone not be possible? Also, if i send it back to HTC will they still say that the warranty has been voided even if the phone now says locked (as it did when it was stock)? Thanks.

What version hboot do you have? What software version is on the phone? Go to settings, about, software info, and see the software number.

In the future do this to reset lock status. It works once rooted and s off.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46153741
And this to set back to s on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46286588
I don't know if they keep records but it's worth a shot. If they sent it back to you with 4.3 it is not currently exploitable but probably will be soon. Do you still have s off on device or did they lock it up? Because if you have s off you can just manually change whatever you want.

[Q] Stock everything but S-OFF. Still under warranty?

No joke I was sitting on my computer desk with my phone in front of me and I hear a sharp "DINK" and look down and saw my phone was cracked. Needless to say I was rather upset because I treat this phone very well.
I found there is a free one time screen replacement and I sent in for that but if the phone is root at all they will not fix it without charging you the full price even though root has nothing to do with the damn screen cracking.
I have gone back to full stock img and bootloader but want to keep S-OFF as other have recommended they keep it that way.
Does anyone know if S-OFF voids my warranty?

I'm from europe and s-off didn't void my warranty. Go back to stock and leave it s-off. Just lock bootloader...

So you are recommending to flash the "recovery.img" and then lock the bootloader using ADB?
Or would you recommend trying to find the full firmware for sprint and flashing that and then locking the bootloader and uninstalling SuperSU?
Thank you,

Origenal firmware, stock recovery, stock rom, no supercid but your region cid. Everything Stock and then lock your bootloader, after that uninstall superSU.

[Q] Turning S-ON and removing the tampered banner?

Hi Everyone.
I'm having some difficulty returning security to on and also having the tampered banner removed. I'm hoping to send my phone back to warranty.
I've used this guide to get me through it but it left me with S-OFF http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751011
I've then tried this guide to get me back to stock with S-ON but it retriggered the tampered flag after I turned it off: http://theunlockr.com/2014/06/08/how-to-unroot-the-htc-one-m8-video/
Does anyone know if there is a way to enable security to on without triggering the tampered flag? Or if I'm doing something wrong with these steps.
Thanks for all your help in advance.
Find the appropriate RUU (If your carrier released it) and run it, it will remove the "tampered". FYI, next time dont worry about S-off so much. With S-off you could of put back on the stock recovery and relocked the bootloader and just sent it back w/ S-off, some 1% of devices mistakenly leave the factory w/ s-off.
HTC already has a record of you (based on your IMEI) unlocking the bootloader via HTCDev.com. You're going through a lot of effort to try to hide what HTC will already knows (that you modded the phone).

Htc know that just u take unlock code from them but they don't know if u use that code to unlock or not. U can just take that code and keeping for future so even if u have that code this doesn't mind u already unlock ur device. So if ur s off is always better to s on ur device for sending for repair
That just mine opinion ?

Back to STOCK in bootloader on HTC 10

Hi there guys, i'm a new user of this fantastic smartphone called HTC 10. I've got a problem with mine when trying to go back to stock after unlocking the bootloader for some modding.
I'm looking for someone who guides me to set everything as original, just because i've not found what i wanted.
Right now my biggest question is related about "Software Status: modified " and "S-on: Relocked".
is there any way to switch them?
Tried with ruu.exe but nothing seems to change.
I'm on cid HTC__034 baseband 2.41.401.4
Any help would be appreciated.
ps: sorry for my english, but it's not my first language (italian one).
S-off is needed, you can use sunshine app for 25$, then you can change software status or "relocked" to "locked", but you don't need it to be stock.
Well so, once I go s-off locked what I might do? Flash the full rom? The firmware? What?

Your question seemed to be asking how to set your bootloader to Locked. The post above yours is correct, get Sunshine and select S-off/Locked.
From there, you can flash an appropriate ruu to fully get back to stock.
