I had unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom rom, then went back to stock and relocked the bootloader, but the RELOCKED in the HBOOT menu kinda gives it all away, Any way to change this to locked or S-ON or something?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385084 after this guide you should have S-ON + old rom, I'm not sure but you should try it anyway
HTC already knows you unlocked your bootloader as you entered a unique code generated by your handset onto their website. Consider your warranty void.

Yeah,that's correct..
That's different with s-off which able to gain back s-on and warranty still there.

S Off wouldn't work because of my 2.0 bootloader apparently,

Hi guys,
just one quick question. I have my phone stuck in S-ON after upgrading into new firmware (HBOOT 1.54). It is clear that revone (the one I used to S-OFF the first time) is currently unable to S-OFF my phone right now. Therefore now I'm considering S-OFF through HTC Dev. Will HTC Dev S-OFF work with 1.54 HBOOT?
Another question would be, apart from getting wiped and lose some application, what disadvantage will S-OFF through HTC Dev brings?
Thanks for the help
you can unlock the bootloader and install custom roms/kernels but no s-off, which might be a problem if you need to send your phone to warranty because they could deny warranty on the re/unlocked status of the bootloader.

Why did you s-on in the first place? You can't s-off, you're stuck for now. HTC Dev can only unlock your bootloader.

I didn't S-ON it on purpose. It went S-ON automatically after firmware update and few resets. I have no slightest idea why it went S-ON. So... it seems I'm doomed for now...

with htc dev unlock bootloader method you can, you dont need s-off to flash custom recovery and roms.
I know that could be somewhat confusing, but seems like you did not read enough

With the HTC ONE toolkit you can unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery.
Very easy. I'm in the same situation at this moment. hboot 1.54.
I also got a question about this.
When I'm in the toolkit and I want to use the mainver error fix I always get Device not Found. Is this also because i'm on hboot 1.54 or maybe not a correct setting somwhere (adb?).

But through the toolkit, the unlocking process will use the HTC Dev method which erases the phone's internal memory and some part which contains some apps right? Any other cons which shouldn't I unlock through HTC Dev?
Here it is but be careful

Go there, register an account
http://www.htcdev.com/
after that click on the "developer center" button and right in the middle you will find a "unlock bootloader" button
click on it, follow instructions, but make sure you have a full backup of your storage cause it will be erased
S-OFF is a security flag that gives you permission to "play" with organic partitions of the devices system in a way
you don't need it for having custom recovery, after you unlock you can flash a recovery the exact same way you did with S-OFF or restore a backup you did before reverting to complete stock
S-OFF for most users is only a solution to not losing warranty after unlocking as unlocking actually voids your software warranty and in a way the hardware warranty as HTC can claim that the unofficial software you used actually damaged the device.
If I helped to make you understand in any way I am glad but please if you don't understand what these procedures do or how they work in a general sense it's better not to use/perform them, if you are in any way like me who spent the better part of a salary to buy this phone it would be a shame wasting all that money bricking it out of ignorance, if not, it's still a shame.

Yea it wipes everything so I suggest you back up anything important to you before you unlock... And there aren't any other cons except the fact that it will wipe EVERYTHING (apps, contacts synced with phone, music, pictures, etc.), thats the only con to it

I think there is some confusion here for the OP.
First, S-off and unlocking your bootloader are 2 completely different things. To install custom recoveries, and therefore custom Roms and kernels, you need an unlocked bootloader (I am not sue what all the talk of relocking was about). The only way for you to unlock at this point is with HTCdev, and this will wipe your device unfortunately. Their are guides to unlocking and rooting your phone in this very forum

I will send my HTC One of service to Regenersis Poland but do not want them to see that I have S-OFF, what can I do to make them not to see that I have S-OFF?
I dont want to lose S-OFF if possible.
The reason why I'm sending mobile in service is due to purple camera issue.

You can just put s-on back when you get your phone back.
Can you just keep s-off but relock boot loader and restore stock Rom? Then just unlock when you get phone back....this way you retain your s-off.
I've heard that some HTC phones ship with s-off.
I think being locked and stock Rom and stock firmware should be sufficient.

Hey Guys,
I just received my new HTC One. Before i just had Samsung Phones (S3,Note 2,S4,Note3..) and I have no experience on HTC with unlock,root etc..
I just want to:
-Root phone
-Install Custom rom
what is the best way for doing this? I have read that there are methods to root my phone without unlock it with HTCDev. Is that right?

You're going to have to use HTCdev to unlock; on hboot 1.44 you could do it with revone, but not on 1.55

No you shouldn't loose warranty, just requesting a unlock tocken, doesnt actually mean you used it (if they actually bother checking??), and there are quite a few guides to go back to 100% stock (including my guide, in my signature... shameless advertising )

That's a good guide, but now that the newer tools are out, you can even remove TAMPERED and set to LOCKED not relocked.

totally correct... no provider or manufacture cares esp htcdev... i had to return my on 3 different times all were unlocked and they never bothered to check. It was because of the camera too. I returned the phone 3 times to sprint they didnt care at all... the last time i didnt even bother returning it to stock. When i got my 4th phone and saw taht the camera was still **** i wrote a letter to htc and sent it to them... they replaced it and never ever ever questioned me why it was unlocked.
Hi guys
i want to send back my phone due to faulty camera. I have to questions:
do i have to back it to stock? I am s-off with custom rom (ARHD), custom recovery etc. If not i wont bother myself.
If they will replace to a new one or reset my current one, what kind of software will I have? Will I be able to s-off and root it? As they probably will install the newest official rom.
cheers,

Yes you need to return to full stock,, ie locked not relocked, tampered removed stock recovery installed. Can't give an answer if you should be S-On or stay S- Off. Some have reported that warranty was void others have said HTC repaired it with S-Off.
Follow this thread to return to full stock

1) You will have the exact same software as the one you gave your phone in. The max HTC will do is install the OTA's. NO alterations to the software will be made if you give the phone to them with the correct MID, CID and bootloader condition as it was out of the box
2) Yes, I gave in my phone after RUU'ing it because of the purple tint issue. After I got it back, bootloader unlock, root, S-OFF were perfectly achieved the same way I did initially
3) In some countries, free repair is done even if S-OFF. Others aren't so lucky. I would recommend that u go back S-ON to prevent headaches later. Otherwise, ask any person who has given their phone for warranty repair in your country
4) The person above has given the link to the guide. I trust you know which RUU to flash

I think it depends on your country. I left my phone S-Off and unlocked and they noticed but did not care. Someone in UAE had the opposite experience. What's the law and what are the customs around purchases with minor manufacturer defects in your country?

Unfortunately its not new
I wrote them that camera has pink effect and USB socket is not working properly, What they replaced is: camera (actually now works good), back cover and now its kinda strange, mat (unpolished) weird in touch and Audio Speaker, i dont know why. Probably they damaged back cover and audio during camera replacement, but they forgot about USB socket.
