[Q] unlocking the bootloader, already s-off cant fastboot flash recovery - HTC Droid DNA

Ok, big mistake here. I used moonshine about a month ago. I had run into problems with my sim not working and had to relock then ruu back to stock. Reading that the update to sense 5 fixed sim issue, I updated from verizon. Didnt fix problem. I fixed sim problem by wiping from bootloader.
I still have S-off and relocked bootloader. Moonshine doesnt work of course because I am on the new update. It wont let me flash recovery and I never had a bootloader token from htcdev to redo unlock. Any ideas?
Thank you

Try beaups RumRunner, he just released it a couple days ago. Look in the original development forum.

With s-off you should still be able to fastboot flash a recovery.img I am s-off locked and can fastboot flash anything.

[Q] How do I Unroot my phone after using HTCDEV method?

Tried searching and couldn't find anything relavent to help.
I have an HTC EVO 3D (Hboot 1.5) running on Sprints network,
I unlocked my bootloader using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
I am trying to unroot my phone and relock the bootloader. A factory reset only brings me to the Bootloader screen and doesn't actually reset anything. Also I'd like to know if theres a way to reset the bootloader to say **Locked* instead of **Relocked*.
It would be nice if I was able to simply flash PG86IMG zip to reset everything back to pure old stock goodness.
Well to "unroot" the phone in sure you can just flash the RUU of 2.3.4 either through SD or fastboot. As for relocking it from what I've heard you simply cannot at this point. That's what Htc says and also what i've heard around in a couple of these types of threads.
Hope I helped a bit.
If im not mistaken, HTC has a relock method too. When you finish the unlocking process there should be a option to relock your device at the end of the tutorial.
First relock then flash ruu it will just say relocked.

S-Off unlock bootloader

Is there a command to unlock the bootloader with s-off without having to wipe all of my data and everything?
There is no need to unlock. S-off is all that you need. It can do anything.

It actually would not let me flash recovery without having the bootloader unlocked again. It was disappointing and erased my data... grrr

You need root to get s-off. The only people who had root were people on the shipped rom when the phone came out. Every OTA since has not had root, let alone temp root that the shipped rom had. So you absolutely need HTC Dev unlock to get s-off, and yes if you havent done it yet, it will wipe the phone. Thems the breaks.

Not what I meant. I already had s-off and it relocked. It then would not allow me to install amon ra. I was asking if there was a different fastboot command to just change it to unlock now since we have soff.

I had to unlock too but reused my token.
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code. is the command
Edit: My bad this probably isn't what you were looking for.
I didn't have to re-unlock.
I asked about this in the discussion thread but was never answered.
I just fastboot flash recovery .zip
and HBOOT flashed my roms boot.img and I was back with the addition of S-OFF
I've flashed several Roms since, while my HBOOT still says Tampered, Locked, S-OFF.
Finally, since I'm on ICS, I flashed the Juopunutbear modified HBOOT.
Everything seems to be open and working fine without re-unlocking.

Not sure if you still need this but i just used the rezound AIO to flash amon again right after and worked fine no unlock. Tho I still have my bin file if I need it.
afaik if you did s-off and you're on GB firmware, you need the ENG Hboot to flash recoveries using fastboot commands, otherwise you have to use PH98IMG.zip's... but that's just what i see, i'm not 100%.

How to return to stock?

So this has probably been posted already, but I got a warranty replacement and the rezound I have now is S-OFF with unlock bootloader. I know I have to relock the bootloader and it'll flash a stock HBOOT, but what about the S-OFF?

I used this a few months ago and it worked like a charm.

Now am I doing this before or after I run the RUU?
After.
Sent from my Rezound using xda app-developers app
So when I'm trying to run the RUU the exe keeps giving me error issues. So I tried to relock the bootloader but it won't lock and keeps saying "INFODevice was already locked"
Figured it out, had to flash the RUU via .zip instead of exe. Mods please delete thread.

Need to relock bootloader!

So before I could get to s-off my phone or flash a custom ROM I figurrd the vibration on my brand new ONE does not work. I did get to unlock bootloader flash twrp and root, now I need to return to %100 stock to return my phone. I flashed back to stock recovery but I still have 'tampered' 'unlocked' bootloader. Can I relock and remove tampered without being s-off? Also if I take latest OTA will that relock my bootloader??
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Only way to remove it is doing the s-off, afterward I belive u can relock everything... I used rumrunner to change the s-off and then the revone method to clear the tampered flag on the bootloader.
- lookup remrunner
Then lookup HTC ONE Toolkit 2.0,by squabbi... The tool kit helps for someone lazy on the shell commads

[Q] How do I unlock my htc glacier with hboot 0.89.0006

Pls I've been unable unlock the bootloader of my htc glacier
I've tried htcdev but the ruu update is telling to get a utility software for my device.
I've also tried htc bootloader unlocker (one click unlock) but its not finding my device
GLACIER PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.89.0006
MICROP-0429
RADIO-26.13.04.19_M
eMMC-boot

Pls I'll be so glad if I can find some help.
You're already S-Off, why are you trying to unlock via htcdev.com?? To unlock via htcdev.com (which is not a complete unlock, unlike S-Off) then you have to be on the newest bootloader version. HBOOT-0.89.0007. I thought there was actually a link to the little RUU update that is just for the bootloader on the bottom of the walkthrough @ htcdev? It's been awhile since I played with one, but I'm sure it was there. If not, I can upload it. I am sure it's hanging around somewhere. But yea, unless you relocked it and stayed S-Off, all the htcdev stuff would not be needed.
Exactly as stated above
If there is an engineering bootloader for your phone you should get that as well, if I'm not mistaken the proper way of rooting your device is to exploit it with gfree, similar to the vision a phone I used for a long time, all info should be in the xda wiki to see if greed was used to exploit and how to flash the eng hboot

So pls how do I update to the latest hboot 0.89.0007
So pls how do I update to the latest hboot 0.89.0007 or how else can I unlock the bootloader and root?
What do you mean? It's the very beginning of the steps on how to unlock @ htcdev.com (and the RUU is there, just like I mentioned earlier). Are you certain that you need to do this? It seems like you have not done much research and might be getting yourself into more work than is needed.
so pls can I flash custom rom just with my s-off
Yes, you just need a custom recovery such as twrp, cwm, 4ext
But what you should do is go to the xda wiki or cyanogen wiki and follow the steps for rooting, these guides will give you true radio s-off, an engineering bootloader and a custom recovery so you can easily flash ROMs and easily fix your phone if issues come about
To answer you directly, yes you should be able to flash custom ROMs as is, but having to ask that questions makes me think you should read more about your device or the next thread you make will probably ask for help fixing a brick
