[Q] S-OFF problem for Nexus One

I used a XTC CLIP to unlock my Nexus One. It was done and the HBOOT showed S-OFF, but I cannot excute fastboot command to flash recovery. It showed FAILED not allowed. That seemed the phone wasn't really S-OFF. Is there anyone could help please?
HBOOT 0.35.0017
I was just upgrade to 2.3.6

Did you do "fastboot oem unlock"? You have S-OFF but does not mean your bootloader is unlocked. If you don't like the lock on your bootscreen, you can do "fastboot oem lock" to lock up the bootloader after you have flashed your recovery. This is possible when you have S-OFF.

I don't want to excute "fastboot oem unlock" because I don't want to lose my data. Is there any way to unlock my Nexus One by using XTC Clip? What should I do?

No, there is none. But there's another way.
You can use BLACKROSE hack in the Development section to use engineering commands and fastboot flash without having to execute fastboot oem unlock, if you're worried about losing data.

Thank you very much. I want to backup my /data folder so I need root my phone. That's why I wanted my phone to be S-OFF. Is there a way to root my phone without unlock the bootloader? The BLACKROSE hack needs S-OFF or Root first and I cannot do that.

Sorry, but you are out of luck. There is no way to back up your data if you are on 2.3.6 with a locked bootloader and without root.

can anyone tell me whether the below process will make the bootloader locked again.
i have backed up the stock rom version 2.2 using CM Recovery
if i restore to 2.2 and update the same to 2.3.6 will i have my locked bootloader again.
please revert.

No. You cannot relock your bootloader that way.

I'll say it again: there is a thread in the N1 development forum with Blackrose in the title. You can download what you need in the first post. If you can't find it, I suggest you spend some time searching instead of trying to flash custom bootloaders.

I tried fastboot flash hboot #### method also, but it failed "signature verify" . My aim is to partition system memory to 220. so that i can install full ICS on nexus one.
I see still S-off in my bootloader. Pls help.

[Q] Need help with bootloader/rooting. Tried searching and found no answeres.

I guess I should start by telling you my progress and why I can't just go through the guide on this site.
Before I discovered this site, successfully unlocked my bootloader using the official site. Then I googled around and found a guide to root the phone. I'll try to post the link later, I'm in a hurry and on my phone. The root failed, saying it couldn't copy files or something like that. I tried again with superoneclick, but it always freezes at step five and I have to exit.
Then I found this site. The guide said I have to re-lock my bootloader before continuing, so I follow the directions and do that, only to find out It wants me to unlock it again using the method I did before. Now this is where I need help, and why I need my own thread. When I tried to lock my loader again, there was a line that said FAILED in the cmd. because of this I am unsure if I really am locked or not, and I'm afraid of doing anything else until I know for sure.
How can I find out whether I'm locked or not? I'm sure I can figure out the rest once I know for sure.

Turn your phone off. Pull your battery. Turn on your phone by holding volume down + the power button. You will be booted to the bootloader screen. It will say at the top whether you are "unlocked" or "re-locked". Re-locked = locked.
The reason you need to re-lock your bootloader is because the RUU (stock ROM flash) requires it. The you have to once again unlock the bootloader and then you can root. The RUU also updates the HBOOT for you if you want some custom ICS ROMs.

I am trying to relock my bootloader to flash RUU. When I relock, it gives the security warning, and won't go past bootloader. You have to have the phone on to update the RUU.

Thanks a lot, jerrycoffman45.
Is anyone familiar with this error? I searched but didn't find.
:~/android$ sudo ./fastboot oem lock
... INFOLock successfully...
FAILED (status read failed (Protocol error))
It appears to do it anyway, as it says relocked on the bootloader screen.

O4X Unlock relock bootloader tool

All Thanks to @Derjan23
I used Code from his post here
thanks to @OopsWare for his analysis of this code here
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for any damage at your device!
You're running this program on your own risk!
Here's unlock Program it does the following
1-try to read odm_reserved
2-check if your bootloader unlocked or locked
3-calculate the most effective string that you have to echo to reverse bootloader state(it will relock if your Bootloader is unlocked - unlock if your Bootloader is locked
4-you can copy echo command and use it after su root in terminal
DONT BLOWN ALL FUSES WITH echo /data/local/tmp/odm_reserved >/sys/firmware/fuse/odm_reserved
by using this program you have 16 chances to unlock relock bootloader before all fuses blown
you can read how this works here

Someone tested on 262?

the official method checks this numbers before unlock and this method unlock directly so sure it works - if you don't already know 262 234 232 even sim locked is unlocked with odm hack I only modified it to do whats really needed only - so you have other chances to relock unlock

Yes....
I love you...
lol...
This worked perfectly....
The only thing that worked for me....
Thank you.

open terminal type su root
then paste the copied command and you are done

There's several of them, just search and read mate.

this method works if you used official bootloader unlock method or used my program to unlock - if you used the other hack method echo /data/local/tmp/odm_reserved >/sys/firmware/fuse/odm_reserved then you have no more chances to relock - anyone can't relock should check /sys/firmware/fuse/odm_reserved contents with es file explorer before and after using program
this program for LG 4X only and you should have stock JB and rooted device

[Q] HTC one Google Edition - Bootloader Unlock

Dear all,
I have an issue that has dazzled me for a few days ..
I have a 4.2.2 Kitkat HTC one google play edition and would like to install a custom rom.
The first step should be to unlock its bootloader
I've gone through the online tutorial and did exactly what is needed .
1) Loaded into fastboot mode
2) fastboot oem get_identifier_token
3) I received the token and pasted it in HTCdev and got back the unlock_code.bin file
4) entered fastboot flash unlock token Unlock_code.bin in the terminal ..
This is supposed to trigger my phone to display the "Unlock Bootloader?" screen, as attached ... and this is not happening
I have all drivers installed properly and my phone has responded to the fastboot oem get_identifier_token command
but there is no screen displayed .. only the fastboot mode .
What should I do?
Appreciate any help you can give

Unlocking the bootloader on GPe 4.2.2 is not possible any more. Also if you have an unlocked bootloader from before 4.4.2 OTA, don't ever relock cause you will not be able to unlock again. Google removed the partition that had the unlock splash screen. I have tried. The only way to unlock it is to find a signed 4.3 GPe RRU and downgrade. So if you are not rooted and S-on a signed RRU is our only hope! There is way to unlock if you are rooted or S-off.

Unfortunately you can NOT run a signed RUU to downgrade. This is going to have to come as a patch/update from google now

I have to say that I now hate my phone .. I moved from IOS because I wanted the freedom of customizing my phone and installing ROMs and now I'm stuck
I thought a pure Google edition phone will be the least restrictive version of Android. .

Root Gone Wrong

I have a verizon htc one m7, and I unlocked the bootloader and s-offed using sunshine. I flashed a rom to make it a google play edition and when it loaded, nothing works. Recovery mode is a black screen that says google and has a small lock at the bottom. I can get to the bootloader but I can't reflash anything using fastboot because it says I don't have root permissions. Please help. Thank you

It looks like the stock recovery which make me believe you have not flashed a GPE rom but a GPE RUU?

What are you trying to flash exactly? From fastboot you can only flash RUU/firmware (in "fastboot oem rebootRUU" mode) and recovery using "fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img"
because it says I don't have root permissions.

Doesn't make sense at all
fastboot never ask/need root permission. Root is ROM related and the ROM isn't even booted at this point so how could it be possible?
Looks like you are not understanding correctly some concept here, better to read a little more or ask your question here
