[Q] - Need immediate help on removing "TAMPERED" and "RELOCKED" text on boot
Hello,
I bought a HTC ONE M7 about 2 month ago. After two week of using phone, I decided to use my phone on 3G network but faced a problem.
When I use a 3G network, I can send and receive SMS, also can receive CALLs, but I can't make out going CALLs. After dialing, call ended immediately! I have this problem also on 2G network in some areas of our city. I checked my SIM on another phones (Nokia N97 and Samsung Galaxy S3) and worked fine.
I thought this may be a bug on software, and wait for 4.2.2. After installing OTA, the problem is still remained.
Now I decided to send it to warranty. But I think there is a problem. I UNLOCKED my phone from HTCDEV.com and RELOCKED again. I do it, because they wrote on the warning this "MAY' void your warranty. Now my phone has a "TAMPERED" and "RELOCKED" text on hboot.
How can I remove them and take my phone to fully stocked as 1st day?
Regards.

Use the Revone toolkit if you can to gain s-on and to remove the relock and then flash with stock RUU.
This should be sufficiant to fool them in to believing that the phone is stock

Use an older RUU and then try to update the device OTA.
Should work if i'm not mistaken.

When I use an Older RUU, I receive ERROR! After searching, it seems that can't install older RUU to downgrade!
Even if it doesn't update right away, it's not a crime to have an older o's on your device. My girlfriends dad never updates his phones

No it's no problem having older Firmware, aslong as it's not Modified, Has root Access or is S-Off.
So for warranty purpose it should be fine.
I know I accepted devices that haddent been updated when I was a repair agent

Can I go S-OFF from whis guide ? :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
Is it usable on windows ? ... I think CHMOD command is a linux command.
And for last question... If I go S-OFF then downgrade RUU and then update again, the "TAMPERED" text will removed ? and "RELOCKED" will changed to "LOCKED" as first day?

Yes that's the right guide for S-off The tampered text will not be removed but if you read through the Revone instructions it will tell you how to remove tampered text and lock your bootloader again, but do it before you upgrade to 4.2.2 as people are reporting revone is not working on the new bootloader within the 4.2.2 update.
htcdev.com is the problem I think...

I think the problem will be the following :
You unlocked your phone via HTCDEV.com and so, HTC knows that your phone is unlocked...
Will it be accepted??

I think that the steps I should fallow is like these:
1 - Go S-OFF through revone guide (I'll see S-OFF and "UNLOCKED" text in hboot after doing it. Right?)
2 - Removed "TAMPERED" text with this command : revone -t
3 - I should relocked my phone to prepare installing exe RUU. Right? How do this? With this command ? revone -l (or) revone -r. Witch one?
4 - Run related exe RUU. My best option will: http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=M7
RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe

5 - Now I should go S-ON. I found this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358738
Is it necessary that I change my CID? My current one is : HTC__J15
Then fallow to S-ON and remove the revone from temp as guide.
After these steps I have a phone that is "LOCKED' with NO "TAMPERED" text in hboot.Right?
And can update it to 2.24.401.1 again from wifi and OTA.
Right?

Once you gain S-off just run the RUU Iused 1.28.401.7 then remove tampered and then lock the bootloader folowing instructions from the Revone thread Ithink it's the second post.
Just reread through this thread and I beleive you have taken the OTA 4.2.2 update if this is correct I don't think you will be able to gain S-off as the new bootloader blocks it.

No, you've misunderstood. As you are on 4.2.2 you cannot S-off so you are stuck with 'relocked' but you can remove 'Tampered' by flashing stock. Without S-off, you cannot go back to 'locked'

OUW !
As there is no RUU for 4.2.2 also i CAN'T flash to stock to remove "TAMPERED"
I think removing "TAMPERED" will not help me. Because when a phone gone "UNLOCKED", the "TAMPERED" text appeared at same time.
And when a "RELOCKED" shown without "TAMPERED" => They found that it's un-normal.
Right?

If your hboot is 1.54/1.55 then you cannot currently s-off so you either have to wait or send it back saying tampered/relocked.
However if this is a physical fault with the phone you should still be covered but if it's a firmware related issue then you maybe out of luck.

1. This is the wrong section you've posted in.
2. Hold volume down and power for around 10 seconds to enter your hboot screen. This will say s-on or s-off at the top, along with hboot 1.44 or 1.54. If you have 1.54 you can't get s-off yet.

Downgrade Hboot to 1.44 to achive s-off? Interesting tutorial that a dude made...

Hi, so I got my HTCOne black edition and it had 4.2.2 Sense and I just saw that it has hboot 1.54 and s-on
I want to root but I want to be able to lock my bootloader (make it say locked and not relocked) incase I get into warranty problems...
So I came across this: http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...one-into-htc-one-with-sense-no-bloat-0148220/
He shows how to get Sense on Google Edition but on Step two he says that you need to downgrade 1.54 to 1.44 for this to be able to work
He changes the cid to make the bootloader think he can downgrade it (he says)
So can I do the same thing by
1. Unlocking my bootloader, root and then downgrade the hboot?
2. Unlock bootloader, root and turn my phone into google edition --> Downgrade to 1.44 ---> Reinstall Sense RUU or Rom or whatever to get it back?
3. Any other way?
I searched a bit but could not find anything about this so I hope we can keep a nice discussion here for people like me who are stuck on 1.54 with s-on (thanks htc for sending me a new HTCOne, except that it is s-on and on 1.54 and on 4.2.2 :/ )
Thanks in advance

Changing CID (to allow RUUs that are not for your phone) is not possible with S-ON. So that guide requires S-OFF.... S-ON + hboot 1.54 = No S-OFF untill exploit is revealed. Sorry.

But... How did he get s-off with a Google Edition phone when he had 1.54? Mu thoughts are that Google Edition has s-off... So maybe if we root and turn our phone to a google edition phone and then do what he does...then put it back on sense?
I want to root so badly lol xd
GPe are s-on. He probably had an s-off device converted to GPe.

Well that sucks if its true :/
Do you think I should root anyway?
As of now I dont have any problems with my phone and by the time it takes for it to break, if it even breaks or defects or something, maybe someone has made some tool or have hacked 1.54... It cant take more than 1 year right?
They're looking for an exploit for hboot 1.55 not 1.54. And it may never come. No one knows till someone finds it. There's always the java card option though.

please explain more, you are trying to S-OFF then SIMUNLOCK? or s off? if your trying to s off, you need to make sure you have EVERYTHING THAT IS RELATED OR CONNECTED WITH ANTI-VIRUS,FIREWALL, OR ANYTHING TO THAT EFFECT TURNED OFF... or else it will not work.

what to do? need complete stock to send back, currently at relocked s-on stock rom

i was running custom rom but decided the blue haze on the camera wasn't doing it for me and turns out htc are able to repair it once i send in
I got to relocked s-on only showing no tampered or anything by flashing ruu
running latest sense rom and hboot 1.56 atm
need to get back to just [locked] showing s-on
this is frustrating me I need help
i unlocked this originally through htc if that matters
You will need s-off to reset the bootloader back to locked instead of re-locked

S-OFF the phone. Then, use the flash the Guru Bootloader Reset zip in TWRP/CWM. From there, you can set it to Locked. But, HBOOT 1.56 has a lot of problems when trying to S-OFF. Its a hit and miss chance. Try using Firewater to S-OFF
