Bootloader

So today i bought a white one x and im a flashoholic so my question is if i unlock my bootloader via htcdev can i lock it again for waranty purpose?

You can only relock it again by doing "fastboot oem lock". But it will say **Relocked** in your bootloader so HTC will still know you unlocked it.
However I've never heard of anyone getting their warranty denied for hardware faults.

[Q] S-Off without HTCDev?

Hi,
I'm really confused.
I'm looking to get S-Off. Is it possible to do so without HTCDev's bootloader unlock, on the HTC One (M8) international GSM model?
Thanks!

No I don't believe so.

I believe you might be able to do it with weaksauce and firewater or the temproot method. I haven't tried it myself so can't confirm.
Also note that the s-off from firewater doesn't work for all m8 devices right now.

Your device must be HTCDEV unlocked/rooted or have a working temproot. A temproot that works with many modern (not all) HTC devices is provided below.

You cannot use HTC dev on a Verizon device. Plain and simple. Verizon has us blocked.

Pretty sure rumrunner only works on phones up til KitKat, maybe even earlier software than that.... Once lollipop dropped for the Verizon variant, the ONLY HOPE for S-off / unlocked is Sunshine, if I remember correctly, htc patched rumrunner, Firewater , etc.. The ONly temp root method I've heard works (n it doesnt all the time, but HAS worked on lollipop & up for some) is Kingroot, and if u get lucky enough that Kingroot actually DOES successfully temp root the device, IMMEDIATELY RUN THE SUNSHINE APP (it costs $25 but it tests ur device 1st to make sure it'll work, and won't ask u for payment until its 100% sure it'll work on your device), and from there , sunshine will automatically at the click of a button S-off your device AND unlock the bootloader.

Are you using you old unlock token? You will need to go through the HTC dev procedure to get a new one if you are.
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA Labs

Yes the old unlock token do I have to get a new one thought I could use the same one

I actually tried to go for a new code last Nite and it said incorrect details when it was exactly what it was and tried that twice which has left me in the dark now as I am s-off and need to be unlocked 2

Unlock Bootloader Help (bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp

Hello Everyone,
I have been trying for days to unlock the bootloader on my Verizon Htc One M9 and have been coming up with the same result. When trying to run the command fastboot oem get_identifier_token, all I get is...
...
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] oem unlock Turn Off!
OKAY [ 0.095s]
finished. total time: 0.099s
I know that this has something to do with Factory Reset Protection and have removed all of my passwords but still am running into this problem. I have tried many different versions of adb and fastboot but still the same result.
Any suggestions would be amazing. Also, I have tried everything I could find on xda and nothing has worked. If you have unlocked the bootloader on you m9 VERIZON, please tell me how.
I do not have the oem unlocking tick box in dev. options, usb debugging is on and fastboot detects is correctly, I have tried using different usb ports, I have tried the command in both download mode and bootloader mode(just to see if it would work), and have tried other fastboot commands to confirm that fastboot is working.
Thank you
-Jack

Sunshine is the only way on Verizon I know of. They've (VZ) removed the unlock option from the menus. Good luck

Is there anywhere with specific instructions on how to root with a locked bootloader? The thread you mentioned did not say how to root, just to roll back my software version.

That's what you have to do. You need to roll back to .7 firmware & then you can use sunshine. I haven't found anything that shows a way outside of sunshine & they don't support firmware above .7. There is a guide on temp root somewhere on the googles...but I don't remember where. Basically you install some specific su app in system/temp. I assume that's what sunshine was doing&one of the VZ updates closed this exploit.

You might be able to use adb push su binaries to system...but I haven't tried & would guess if it were that easy that would be the main root thread😉..if you rollback & sunshine it will work...I'm on a VZ m9 s-off & unlocked with sunshine after I accidentally took .15 update😱

Do you think that I could try to do adb sideload root.zip? I am a complete n00b with rooting and unlocking bootloaders. It sucks that sunshine is the only application that will unlock and s-off the M9. They had to make it paid but it is what it is. I don't wanna f*ck up my phone when doing this so really need some advice. Thanks for all of your help so far!

No, you cannot adb sideload a root.zip (you are free to try of coarse, but it's not something I am suggesting). I wish it were that simple. But there would be a thread to help guide you if that was an option.
All the advice is right here, also.
There are 2 methods to get root, both include turning the security flag off (S-OFF), and at a cost.
Thanks to Verizon we cannot simply unlock the bootloader with an unlock token at htcdev to achieve root.
Thankfully, however, we do have options.
Sunshine is the suggested and easiest method (and cheapest most likely). $25 is well worth the freedom, but everyone's situation is not the same.
The other is to ship out the device (cost of shipping to and from adds up), plus a "donation" to the person whom you send your device to. They cannot charge here on XDA, so the "donation" is optional obviously, however the Java Cards and XTC Clips aren't cheap, nor is the persons time.

Rolling back is as simple as flashing the RUU that's been kindly included here on XDA. Then you can just download Sunshine .apk and get S-OFF. You then are permanently unlocked and can flash a ROM with root included or simply flash the SuperSU .zip in TWRP. That to me = easy. I had to ship out my device for S-OFF. You're in luck with options. If you don't want to send it out your options have been repeatedly laid out for you. Not sure why you are asking again about an easy way to root. The answer is yes, easy = Sunshine.
These are the options:
1) Downgrade, Sunshine
2) Ship out to Java Card/XTC2 Clip user
Sunshine doesn't require root. It temproots your device to complete the process. That's why you need to downgrade using RUU.. The version you're on right now can't be temprooted which is why you need to downgrade (luckily you can). Once you are S-OFF, you simply run the latest RUU, or the firmware and then a ROM. Easy pezy.
Hope I was of some use, best of luck my friend.
