"locked" vs "relocked" - HTC Rezound

is there a way to get the bootloader back to a pure "locked" designation?!?!

Yes, but it requires performing the S-Off method. Only way it can be done.

Do S-off procedure. That procedure changes the bootloader back to "locked" whenever you go through it as well. You can observe this on an hboot other than JuopunutBear's modded one.
If you want it stock, you have to re-flash a stock RUU and do S-on procedure; check the guide in the Development section.

okay i just ran the newest ruu and noticed it when i rebooted to bootloader...so all i gotta do is run it one more time...then when its fully s-off and labeled "locked" just run the secureflag 3 command again?!?!

Yes you writesecureflag on

So does that mean that you can do the following?
1. S-Off
2. Bootloader shows and "locked" instead of "relocked".
3. S-On
4. Run RUU
5. Warranty replacement with no worries

Nevermind I didn't read the op right :/

Then run the RUU *before* S-On... all else before S-On. You must make sure that is stock bootloader and not JuopunutBear or else you risk bricking when writing the security flag command.
And be sure to run the RUU twice to ensure a complete flash.
Also note the JuopunutBear bootloader, if flashed, will read "JuopunutBear" instead of Locked and indeed performs similar to an unlocked stock bootloader. But that JB version is simply hacked; once you flash a stock bootloader over that, it will read Locked.

Note with that article you may want to do the ICS OTA RUU instead now that it is out.

[Q] how to change from unlocked to locked?

I'm currently s-offed and running 2.01.605.11 gb ruu.
Now I need to use the warranty so I need to change the status s-off/unlocked
to s-on/locked not s-on/re-locked.
How can I do that?
the fact that you are S-off doesnt matter as some devices shipped are s-off but to get to locked run the same gb ruu again but dont unlock.
but if you really care about it saying s-on follow the instructions in this thread

since you are on stock hboot you'll be fine with these instructions

by doing this, I can get the s-on, but still I can't get locked.
I need to know how to get locked on the bootloader to use the warranty.
Find a thread that has the correct hboot for your firmware then go to fastboot and type
Code:
fastboot clear cache
fastboot oem reboot ruu
fastboot flash zip (zipnamehere).zip
Then wait a little then do
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
That should do it and also I'm not sure it there's a space between reboot and ruu so try both

if he locks it with the fastboot command it will say lock and if he is s-on not sure but i know if you are s-off you will stay unlocked or relocked even if you flash new hboot's

[How-To] S-ON (security lock bootloader after s-off)/Return to stock

These steps will get you completely back to stock.
I want to first say thanks to the unlimited.io team for making S-OFF possible.
Secondly, by following these instructions you are acknowledging that should something go wrong and you brick your device, I am not at fault nor are the developers of the S-OFF method for the HTC RUBY. Follow these instructions at your own risk! I am NOT a dev, just stupid enough to be the first one (I think) To try this. I am not going to give instructions on how to use fastboot, if you are S-Off, then you should already know.
Third, you WILL be able to re-unlock your bootloader and regain S-OFF after you have followed these instructions. If you want to do so, there are other threads on how to do that.
And 4th, I have only tried this on a tmobile branded device. I have no idea if this works on any other device. I think it should, but I don't know for sure. If anybody wants to give it a try and let me know, then i will update the OP.
Now to the steps.
1. Download the stock ruu from here
2. Lock your bootloader by using the fastboot command "fastboot oem lock"
3. Reboot to system
4. Flash the stock RUU you downloaded by placing it in the root of your external sd card and renaming it PH85IMG.zip and rebooting to bootloader.
5. Once you have the stock rom reinstalled, set the security lock by using fastboot command " fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"
6. Profit?
That's it!

I should have clarified, the steps are if you want to go completely stock, will update the OP.
Will it read "relocked" or "locked"? I thought being "completely stock" was not totally possible because it would always say "relocked".

No it wont. Sometimes when you flash ROMs after the ics leak it'll go back to locked . Only if you do it manually through fast boot it will say re-locked.

You can't downgrade back to GB once you've updated to ICS, if that's what you're trying to do. At least not very easily.

I dont know a way for going back to stock without being s=off. You could possibly flash the newest official release (ics, one that hasnt been modified) then relock your bootloader, but i think that it will show relocked rather than locked. Worth a try though.
Okay thanks for the input guys. It isn't a huge deal, I just didn't think there was enough "goodies" rom-wise for ICS, but there are some hardworking devs on here. Looking forward to the Sense 4.0 rom.

I spent 3 hrs trying to solve the relocked and locked issue until finally I got it resolved. with the manual option to lock with hasoon tool, places *** RELOCKED *** in hboot, which clearly and obvious for any technician to see you tampered with the hboot files from stock. my reason for doing this to get my warranty back.
how did i fixed "RELOCKED" to show as *** LOCKED *** ? after the hasoon tool 3.2 relocked the bootloader i was challenged, but decided the first step would be switching the security off and on (s-off/ s-on)
first return to stock RUU through boot loader, then adb command fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 to enable s-on. *toggled it on
i reinstalled juopunutbear s-off again carefully following the instructions. with a paperclip grounding the phone and selecting for juopunutbear's modified files "y" enter.
then your *** RELOCKED *** shows as *** juopunutbear *** in hboot. (at first i thought I dig myself a bigger hole)
I used Hasoon tool 3.2 again to RELOCK bootloader, with the intention of reinstall the stock RUU again. however it still showed as *** juopunutbear *** with the message its already locked.
Now I installed the the Stock RUU again from bootloader. once complete back to the hboot, to show *** LOCKED *** and s-off Progress!!!
repeat enable s-on instructions by writing adb: fastboot oem writesecureflag 3,
now shows
*** LOCKED ***

how do we delete the line -OpenADSP-02.6.0.2226.00.0202?
it was added with the juopunutbear s-off hboot files, without that file the hboot would be 100 percent legit for the warranty!

No need to get rid of that. New phone from T-Mobile with HBOOT 1.93 and it had that line it . It looks like 1.90 is the one that doesn't have that line. Because my wife's phone is on 1.90 and she doesn't have it.

Is there anyway to get it to LOCKED?

You need to S-OFF first and then relock it. Running RUU will give you RELOCKED or TAMPERED.

While s-off run the fastboot commands to relock the HBOOT? Can you tell me those commands? Thanks.
Did you unlock while s-off? If you did, you need to s-off again. After s-off you will have a locked bootloader again. Than ruu to gb ota, and send the s-on commands through fastboot.
That will leave you with stock gb, s-on and lock bootloader.
Do not send the s-on command unless your are 100% sure you have an ota stock hboot. Or you will have a brick
I am pretty sure that there is no way to get it to say locked. It will just say relocked. Someone was working on a way to change that but I think they decided not to continue because they didn't want to be accused of encouraging fraud.

No no, just do the S-OFF. If you attempt to lock after S-OFF, it will say RELOCKED.
The S-OFF process is the only way to get back to LOCKED. If you unlock or run the fastboot command to lock again after that, it will show RELOCKED.

You can definitely return to **Locked** without question if you have s-off. Just run the newest leak RUU twice and it should take it back to locked but S-OFF, did it to my girl's unlocked+s-off rezound two nights ago. I didn't even have to manually run it twice, it just keep rebooting and did the 2nd run on it's own. It's now the stock hboot, locked, s-off. Then if you want GB there shouldn't be any issue flashing the GB RUU since you'd maintain S-OFF

[Q] revert back revolutionary s-off to stock hboot

Hi,
My Evo 3d GSM device was S-OFF by the Revolutionary method.
All work fine.
But for garanty purpose, l've already restored boot_signed and system.img from stock rom.zip
Can i restore original recovery with:
fastoot flash recovery recovery_signed.img ?
And Restore stock hboot with:
fastoot flash hboot hboot_SHR_U_1.53.0007_20120522_signedbyaa.nb0 ?
Thank before,
If you really want to go back to stock, run the ruu for your region/carrier. It will leave you s-off, but everything else stock. You could go 100 percent stock by going back to s-on first. EDIT: After! See ramjet's post below.

Running the RUU should restore the default recovery and leave you s-off if it is going in for warranty work don't forget you want to be s-on (fastboot oem lock) after running the RUU.

That's the command to relock after doing the HTC unlock. The command to set S-ON is "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" and should only be run after the RUU is flashed and the stock bootloader is restored. If S-ON is set while a modified bootloader such as ENG, Revolutionary, or Juopunutbear is installed it will brick the phone.

So ramjet: if s-on, you lock then run ruu. But if s-off, you run ruu then lock if you wish. Is that right? I know it's a different kind of lock, but i didn't realize order mattered going s-off to s-on.

Yes, those are separate S-OFF's. The bootloader unlock (hboot S-OFF) is different from the radio S-OFF. This post from the MeanROM ICS thread has an explanation by Unknownforce, the developer behind the the hboot 1.4 downgrade method for radio S-OFF.
The "fastboot oem lock" command will undo the bootloader S-OFF, which is required to run the RUU.exe for users that are radio S-ON. Users that are radio S-OFF can run the RUU.exe without any special considerations.
Once the RUU.exe is run and the stock bootloader is installed, the phone will be bootloader S-ON regardless of the radio S-OFF status. To run fastboot commands like "flash" and "erase" the stock bootloader needs to be unlocked by the htcdev method or a custom bootloader modified to support those commands needs to be flashed, which requires radio S-OFF.
After installing a custom bootloader, setting radio S-ON via the "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" bricks the phone because the bootloader is not signed by HTC and that is not allowed with radio S-ON. Therefore a stock bootloader needs to be reinstalled before setting radio S-ON and the easiest way to do that is flash an RUU.exe.
Hope that makes sense.

Hello,
After all your explanations, I was reassured to install "RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed.exe"
Unfortunately it did not work: probably due to the absence of CID (HTC__203) of the revolutionary HBOOT.
So I took the rom.zip file in the% temp% directory and I renamed PG86IMG.zip. I pushed on my sdcard.
A reboot in the bootloader and the EVO 3D has successfully installed the ROM with firmware radio, recovery, system ... in short, everything
Now my HBOOT is 1.53.0007 HTC, it does not show revolutionary, but it is unlocked and S-OFF
Now I think it is acceptable to send like that. What do you think?
In fact I've not said what the problem was my phone: After installing a ROM that had the good idea to turn xLOUD (I think that's it) it has blown me the speaker (communication only)

[HOW-TO] back to stock (S-ON) after DirtyRacun (S-OFF)

WARNING!!!
DO NOT attempt this process unless you are on a STOCK, HTC HBOOT.
S-ON with an ENG HBOOT will BRICK your device!!!
In other words, Only attempt this AFTER flashing back to a STOCK RUU. (as this will flash the STOCK HBOOT.)
I know the process JUST came out, but I'm sure this will eventually come in to use.

Whatever it said when it was S-ON is my understanding. but since I haven't yet tested this for our phone I can't say 100%
From the looks of your post, I guess you sourced the information from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612937, which I also had bookmarked for my future reference. From that thread, here's how I understand it:
If we S-OFF then unlock, we can expect RELOCKED after S-ON.
If we S-OFF but keep bootloader locked, we can expect LOCKED after S-ON.
It doesn't look like we can expect a custom tag to stick around after S-ON.

correct. only way to get locked back,is to turn s-on,then re unlock and re-s-off. and then,do not unlock after s-off. your hboot will stay locked and you can s-on again,if you need to. just keep in mind that turning s-on should only be done for warranty purposes.

Yes Sir, indeed.
Andy real quick question flashing ruu well eliminate soff correct
No, hence post 1. I'm guessing this relates to your MIUI adventure. You can have S-OFF and LOCKED bootloader.

no this command, and this command only is what I know to get to S-ON
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

WARNING!!!
DO NOT attempt this process unless you are on a STOCK, HTC HBOOT.
S-ON with an ENG HBOOT will BRICK your device!!!
In other words, Only attempt this AFTER flashing back to a STOCK RUU. (as this will flash the STOCK HBOOT.)
I know the process JUST came out, but I'm sure this will eventually come in to use.
Instructions:
1) Download and run an RUU. Found HERE
2) Open a cmd window. Plug in phone, charge only mode, usb debugging on.
3) Run the following:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

your link to ruu's doesn't point to RUU's for the HTC Evo 4G LTE. Here is the correct link http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Jewel

andybones refers to this, but to clarify, the DirtyRacun hboot is an engineering hboot. If going s-on, make sure to run the RUU first.

that's because this is the HTC DROID INCREDIBLE 4G LTE FORUM... NOT THE EVO 4G LTE.
I know my RUU's point to the correct thread... because I made it!
Do I need to flash the dirty racun hboot from their page? Is having the dirt racun hboot important? Mine says 1.15.000 I have since gaining s-off have had to flash our ruu.
*Edit* I went ahead flashed it now I'm back to where I was after the s-off tool right where I needed to be

Hi,
I need stock "Locked" bootloader.
I've RUU the DirtyRacun Phone by advice as an attempt to fix (SIM failed) and now the Phone is S-OFF with stock Hboot "RELOCKED". Had to unlock the device again for last fix attempts.
Will flashing with S-OFF with stock signed Hboot clear bootloader security flags changing "RELOCKED" back to "LOCKED"?
Now RUU doesn't deliver "Locked" bootloader status. Should I next Flash signed stock Hboot first? Or should I Flash a DR Hboot then RUU again?
Last I would do your posted above for S-ON from Fastboot down since OS locks (no ADB).
Don't want to brick my phone.
Thanks In Advance!
