Hi ;
Is it possible to upgrade, downgrade or reformat to bootloader?
My bootloader says 1.30.0000 is it possible to change this by the way cid unlock?
Thank you
Why do you want to change the bootloader ?
Thak you for reply;
I have cid lock and my device in bootloader mode I have to find original rom but I can not find if I can reformat or change bootloader may cid lock can delete. Just I am thinging.
May I know if One X is able to be S-OFF, is it mean that even the bootloader status is locked and we still can root and flash custom rom? How it different with unlock bootloader using HTCDev? sry for noob question..
No you need to be unlocked to root and flash custom roms. As of now HTCDev is the only method to allow unlocking.
Simple method. We don't know when Revolutionary will release their tool.
S-ON + LOCKED = You can only use official HTC firmware and only for the specific branded version you have.
S-ON + UNLOCKED = You unlocked it via htcdev. You're able to change the system and recovery images to allow for custom firmware. You can't alter anything regarding the baseband aka cell radio. HTC know you unlock via htcdev as they make you enter your serial number and other details to generate a phone specific unlock token. This will affect your warranty as any software caused faults are your own problem. General hardware warranty is still the same.
S-ON + RELOCKED = You relocked it after unlocking via htcdev. Same as S-ON + LOCKED except it shows you relocked.
S-OFF = No restrictions at all by the bootloader. You can alter everything. HTC don't let you do this and you need somebody else to work out a flaw in the bootloader to do it. Technically this voids your warranty as well but if you relock and don't leave any evidence that you did so then HTC won't know.

No one knows about S-off.
It doesn't mean we can root and flash custom roms even on the locked bootloader. It was a different and unofficial way of unlocking the bootloader which can be locked again when we need.
We can do the same thing even in this HTC dev method, I mean locking the bootloader, but after that the status of the bootloader will be RELOCKED not locked. That means HTC people may know that our device is already unlocked before.
One more thing (which I heard and I am not sure), we can't flash ported roms on our device unless and until we have S-off.

I want to install a custom ROM without voiding warranty. Is there any way to unlock bootloader without htcdev?

You can do so if you have an S-OFF device
How can you have s-off without unlocking the bootloader?
You can't, unless you have a Verizon M8 as that can be done with temp-root
You can do flash a patch/truck in certain h boots that shows s on and locked h boots even though it's unlocked and have s off. But you have to be s off to do that.
like eddy said you can do it with version devices.
But for other devices it is not possible.you have to unlock bootloader which will void your warranty but if you manage to get soff you can regain back your warranty since service center checks for locked bootloader so if you have an soff device you are good to go.
after i unrooted my phone and flash stock rom and then update my phone to lolipop
i entered to boatlooder mode and find tha i have Unlocked phone and Software status Modified
how i can get rid of all that and back to locked phone and remove that sentence ?
You'd have to purchase S-OFF.
