You need to relock the bootloader.

Yeah done that still saying tampered and re-unlocked
Read this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2209616 - for reference. Vendor should Fix/Replace/refund the purchase even though the phone was rooted/unlocked/tampered. I assume you want a replacement from mechanical defect (gap?) and that is difficult to cause by malware.

I have the correct nandroid for my model (bell mobility canada) but its becoming a pain. If anyone can point me in the direction that would be much appreciated..and yes I have read the stickies and guides. My major issue it seems is I cannot restore the nandroid in cwm as it wont mount to my sd

Your going to have to S-OFF first... You need S-OFF first so that you can lock your boot loader again without it saying "relocked" and "tampered". I'd recommend Revone S-OFF since it does NOT install a custom boot loader and is very easy to use.

How to Relock bootloader, Have "locked" sign, unroot phone. so that i can return it
Can anyone direct/guide me how to Relock my HTC ONE T-mobile bootloader, have a "locked" sign on my screen and unroot my phone totally with complete stock. THANKS MUCH APPRECIATED
AFAIK you cannot make it say "LOCKED" again unless you gain S-off and manually change what it says.
When you relock the bootloader, it says exactly that: "RELOCKED".
Search for S-off Revone..... That way u can

thanks for the reply sir, now after doing the "Lock". What is the next step for me to have a completely stock unrooted device ready to send back to T-mobile?

After doing s off.... And bootloader relocked.... Flash your tmobile RUU..... After that, you can remove the relocked bootloader status, and make it to Locked using revone, and in fastboot mode, you can come back to s on... Its mentioned in the s off revone thread on 2nd post...

Go to another htc thread and find it. All you gotta do is re lock the phone. Run the ruu and then a fast boot command. I think it's fastboot writesecureflag3. Double check. Its doable. I promise.

Bear with me as this is my first HTC device in a long time. I got it used and the bootloader is unlocked but says **TAMPERED**. I understand I could relock it and return it to stock but it seems I need S-OFF in order to do this. Currently, the phone is still S-ON. What would be the correct steps in getting rid of the tampered message? If you can just guide me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.
There are plenty of guides to s-off, look in the original development section...

So, I do need S-OFF to relock? I know there are guides but not sure which is the first step.

Get s-off using revone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
And don't go s-on again unless ABSOLUTELY necessary. There are quite a few prerequisites for s-on, otherwise you'll brick your phone!!!

You don't need it to relock, but it will say "Relocked" instead of "Locked"
With S-off you can change it to back Locked, like it was never touched.
The s-off guides have a list of requirements that you need before you get started if you do go that path.
Are you trying to make it look completely stock? Or just relocking? They require completely different things.

Doesn't 'tampered' just mean it's still got the custom recovery on it? Sure I've read if you get the stock one back on it goes away

I'll head over there and make sure to read.
I'm a bit hesitant of doing anything with it. I was looking to just change it back to stock completely and possibly selling it. People who don't really root their phones may be turned off by the whole tampered thing, especially if they want to send it back to HTC for repair or something.

Once you're s-off you can remove the tampered sign, and even lock (as opposed to relocked) using revone.
As long as you're on hboot 1.44.
You can even keep it s-off because some phones come s-off by default so service centers shouldnt be able to complain about that.
Do quite a bit of reading if you do want to go back to s-on, otherwise a brick can happen!

Thank you very much. I just wanted a bit of guidance on what direction to take. Thanks again!!
This has properly been asked over and over again, but hard to search on the xda app.
The so called "Red warning" is that there because of being S-off or unlocked?
I mean just unlocking the bootloader using HTC dev, will that trigger the warning, or is it fue to s-off.
I am a bit confused about it, as I did not see any post regarding the red warning prior to Rumrunner bering released..
Did s-off using revone also give the red warning?

i belive it is caused by having a custom recovery installed s-off has nothing to do with it but it can be removed if you are s-off http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316726
Ok, I only imagined that custom recovery caused tampered to appear in the boot loader
So the red warning is also triggered along with a custom recovery being flashed..

it will come up when anything is not stock also running a ruu will remove it
Just to make sure I am not misunderstanding... I am not asking what causes "Tampered" to show in the boot loader...
I am only asking about the Red warning when booting

Oh sorry misunderstood that shows up when you unlock bootloader

I have one of the bad camera sensors, and rather than live with it I'm hoping HTC can fix it.
I unlocked the bootloader on my device, and I was wondering: would HTC refuse service for this? Also, should I go S-Off and remove the "tampered with" message?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Definitely relock and remove tampered label using revone

Well crap. Thanks for the prompt response!
I assume that also means I should revert to the stock ROM. Or would the Google Play ROM be be OK?

ReLOCKED isn't really recommended
S-off is usually okay, but RELOCKED, hmmm.
Might wanna look at my guide.

Now I'm not sure what to do. I'm working on S-Off right now to remove the tampered. Aside from flashing a stock ROM (I'll assume for now Google Play edition is fine), is there anything else I should do?

Honestly, you should go completely stock (with the software that came with your phone, i.e dont leave it gpe if it was sense based etc). Look @nkk71's guide to going stock, all the info you need is there
You can leave it s-off if you please but i would definitely LOCK the bootloader instead of RELOCKING since ive heard/read a few cases where they didn't fix the device since it was re-locked making it void of its warranty. Now personally, i would even go as far as S-ON, just to be on the safe side. I can attest that ive s-offed with rumrunner, s-oned, and then s-offed again with rumrunner (on my device) and it worked so you can s-off again when you get the device back.
Then once you get the device back you don't have to start all the way from the beginning with htc-dev, just use the same unlock code you got the first time(if you don't have it saved you can check the email it was sent in), and then proceed from the last step that was flash it in adb to unlock your phone again
Yeah sorry I meant relock as in lock bootlosder so on top it says *LOCKED*
