[Q] my phone is ***LOCKED***

my bootloader is locked and i found a way to charge him.
when i try to flash something it says "not allowed" so i cant flash recovery.
i tried to use RUU butit didnt help (RUU with the same radio number as i have).
how to relock it or unlock it?
i try it for few hours but all i find is when the phone is already unlocked or relocked/

You need to flash the unlock code.bin file to unlock the bootloader.
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
Of you haven't got the file you need to make a new one via the htcdev site.
You cant flash anything with a locked bootloader

i have unlocked and than relocked and tried to use RUU and its just keep rebooting to the htc logo and off, and it is looping like that
its the correct RUU i think. i bought the phone in Hong Kong but im in europe now so i did europe RUU.

That's not possible (i mean the ruu thing)
Post the number that you get out :
Fastboot getvar version-main

That's very weird !! A hongkong hox with a wwe main number !
Well you could try the 3.14.401.31 ruu.

Keep the phone locked and put it in the bootloader. Then run the ruu with admin rights

[Q] SuperSU: There is no SU binary installed...

I returned to Stock recovery to get the OTAs. I am at 4.4.3. SuperSU says: There is no SU binary installed....
Firewater and Sunshine don't work. I am at S-On and Locked. I am stuck. Feels like I am half pregnant.

You can't modify the system if you are S-on. You need to be S-off for it to work.

How did you have a custom recovery if your bootloader is locked?
I think we need more details?
Sunshine usually works.

I relocked after the custom recovery. I was having the same issue. thought I could reroot.

And you should check into why Sunshine isn't working then.
For s-off anyway.
For bootloader, you may have to use HTC Dev, if Sunshine fails to work. At least you can root then. But s-off needs Sunshine.

Black screen after HTC startup logo please help!

Hello,
I was trying to install the Bad Boyz Sprint ONE M8 ROM 6.0 Sense 7 v4.0 one of the requirements was that i should update my firmware to 6.20.651.3 so I did, with the hboot method, everything said ok ok but after rebooting I get a black screen after the HTC logo, can anybody please help me I think i bricked it I tried getting in recovery but doest work, with tried with fastboot tried RUU and FUU but I get an error related that I cant reach my cellphone from my computer. help me please
Thanks!

are you S-off with your htc one m8?
you cant flash RUU when you are S-ON
are you able to go in fastboot mode?
the old method to recover soft bricked of old htc phone was to push recovery using fastboot drivers from CMD. it was quick method.
1st you have to tell me are you S-OFF or S-ON?

This is false. A signed RUU meant for your CID, will flash fine with s-on, as long as the bootloader is LOCKED or RELOCKED.

Is the phone powered off, or does it seem to be on, just with nothing on the display?
If powered off, try holding power + Vol down for a minute or so, to see if you can get into bootloader.

Hi, thanks to everybody, but i solved the issue. I let my battery drain and then I charged it for a moment and turned the cellphone with Power and Vol -, I got in fastboot instaled twrp and then installed the rom and everything works fine now, thanks
My cellphone is S-OFF

Not booting after flashing a full, signed firmware is normal and expected. See on the following firmware thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/progress-fuu-m8-t2813792
Which reads:
- FullStock Wipe ZIP/FUU: this type of zip also re-flashes the /data partition with HTC’s DZDATA files (meaning you lose everything on your internal SDCARD). Also replaces the Kernel, Ramdisk, recovery and Splash1 with latest stock images! The /system partition will not be touched. (Else this would be a RUU, not a FUU). Phone will NOT boot after using this! Be sure to put a ROM onto your EXTERNAL SD before proceeding with a FullWipe ZIP! Else you can also ADB push a ROM in recovery mode after fastboot reflashing a recovery.
So flashing the ROM was the right thing to to. Nice work figuring it out.

redpoint ,can you clear one thing here? can you achieve BOOTLOADER RELCOK w/o S-OFF, i have already read forums on XDA that one cannot relock bootloader while S-ON
and can you flash RUU on S-ON? if am false can you post links here proving that you are true?

You can easily make the bootloader RELOCKED with a single fastboot command: fastboot oem lock
To make the phone LOCKED (for instance, warranty purposes) you need to have s-off.

Yes, you can flash RUU fine with the bootloader RELOCKED (after its been UNLOCKED) and s-on. RUU will run with bootloader LOCKED or RELOCKED. It also has to be the RUU for your devices CID,MID (can only change CID and MID with s-off); and also has to be an RUU of same version or later (no "downgrading" using an older RUU unless you have s-off).
In short, running the right version RUU is fine with s-on, as long as the bootloader is LOCKED or RELOCKED.

[urgent] how to lock the bootloader!!

Hi All,
I am now on Android 7.0 and my htc 10's motherboard is not working.
Previously, I have unlocked the bootloader and therefore, before I go to the repair center, i have to lock my bootloader back.
I know i can S-OFF it with sunshine, what should i do after S-OFF?
Thanks a lot!!!

I guess my htc 10 should have LOCKED status for bootloader and also S-ON in order to have the warranty.
Would any of you please help?

When using sunshine, choose the s-off/Locked option. Then go back s-on.

do you mean by clicking S-off/Locked option, it will then go back to both S-ON and Locked?

No I mean after using sunshine with the s-off/Locked option, you need to do s-on manually. This will set you s-on with your bootloader locked.
The s-on procedure is described here:

Don't forget to flash a run.exe before go S-ON to obtain OFFICIAL state in bootloader

You could end up with a brick.
Ruu before setting to s-on is the best method.

Flashing my HTC 10 to Marshmallow

Hello
I would like to flash my HTC 10 back to stock Marshmallow firmware. What is the safest and easiest way?
I don't want to unlock my bootloader or root my phone. I just want to roll-back.

Not possible with a locked bootloader

So is unlocking the booloader the only requirement for a firmware roll back?

This user has done so with s-on unlocked bootloader and twrp installed...Not responsible for any mishaps... Is only a post to point you in a direction... Good luck

Without s-off you cant downgrade firmwares, not sure what that specific user is about but he is not flashing full ruu files or firmwares. Those will fail 100%
And there is no 4.41.401 firmware number. The last nougat firmware is 2.41.401.4

It could be a typo.
I'm going to give it a try tonight and provide a feedback.
Thank you all.
Here is an update as promised. I gave the mentioned method a try but it didn't work.

Yes please let us know if it works. I hope battery life is better on Marshmallow.

But you didn't flash a lower firmware or ruu than the firmware that's on the device already ? Because that's impossible with s-on. You can only downgrade firmware with s-off.
Did you install a lower stock backup?

I believe I'm doing something wrong which is why nothing worked for me. This is too much to do for a simple roll back and i don't blame you guys for it.
Remember the old days when all you had to do to install a ROM is root and place the ROM into a micro SD card.

I actually already assumed it would not work because you can't downgrade firmware on s-on devices. That specific post is in many ways impossible. Or he has a s-off device and wrote it wrong or he is just making stuff up.

If you want to roll back you need s-off and a MM ruu. That's the easiest way. What are your specs now.
Can you give the output of "fastboot getvar all"

So you are flashing partitions that are locked on s-on state. I just don't believe this downgrade method because you simply need s-off to downgrade firmwares.
That's all i can and will say about it.

Since i'm going to need to pay money to s-off the smartphone, i have taken it to a guy who is willing to roll back the firmware to Marshmallow for 10$.
He probably have the license.
Thank you all for the help.

Yeah, folks always believe downgrading will only work on S-OFF devices...
But don't say "IMPOSSIBLE" before you try, the downgrade method I've test on HTC M9 A9 10 U11 and it work well, I even wrote a program to help to erase version number in an easiest way.
