returning completely to stock ICS

My HTC Velocity is unlocked, s-off and has lived a good life of forever shifting ROM's however a mandate has come down from above that they are rolling out a new antivirus package at work that detects all these shenanigans and reports it back, is there any way, now that I have s-off to relock the boot-loader without it saying "re-locked" and just saying locked like it did originally?
I'm not sure if that would actually be detected I have a feeling it only really detects rooting, however but it would be a nicety to get it back to totally stock.
Difficult answer to find with the associated keywords, sorry if this is a repost I did attempt to search for it.

I could be wrong, but as far as I know you should just have to relock your bootloader with the file you should have saved somewhere that let you originally unlock it and then run the RUU that's floating around here somewhere. Just make sure you download the correct RUU for what you want (the official ICS one is like 400 something MBs I think).

That is correct relock bootloader, then flash correct RUU for your device..

OP does not want the boot loader to say re-locked.
AFAIK there is no way to do this. I have re-locked mine a few times and it always says re-locked.

Thanks, as above I have relocked many times, bummer can't get rid of re-lock

AT&T HTC One *TAMPERED*

I picked the HTC One up from AT&T a few days ago, today I unlocked the bootloader and want to go back to the locked bootlader. Anyways I went back to the locked and now my device says TAMPERED*. How do I get rid of this?
Also, My device is recognized as a CWS_001

I think its if you have a custom kernel.

You can't, at least not yet.
With S-On, the One will say TAMPERED when you unlock the bootloader and if I remember correct when you re-lock it, it'll say RE-LOCKED.
It's not something to worry about, it is a measure on HTCs end for warranty issues I presume.

0.0
Wow, this could be a ****ing HUGE determining factor for people buying this phone.

I don't get it... Why are people so surprised? Besides, you know the risk of unlocking...

If you actually read what you agreed to when you unlocked the bootloader, you would have already known that re-locking the bootloader doesn't restore warranty or erase the evidence that you had unlocked it.

Wouldn't it say
**TAMPERED**
RE-LOCKED
I would be surprised if they removed the tampered warning just by relocking.

Following posts around here seem to say that to be true. Your last sentence seems to contradict the above though?

I haven't (yet) unlocked my One, I was actually asking if anyone had relocked their device and could confirm that the "**TAMPERED**" goes away.
It makes no sense for HTC to do this, because someone could really mess up the ROM contents and then relock the device.

Oh, you misread my post then.
It will still say TAMPERED. But, in addition too, it will say RELOCKED. I also recall reading past HTC devices where they were able to get the TAMPERED title to go away, but it would still say RELOCKED, so the end result is the same.
Once the bootloader is unlocked, there is no way to go back to 100% factory, yet, until there is away to get S-off.
Viewing the XDA article though, unlocking/rooting your device won't void your warranty, and you can get a stock rom back on your device if you end up screwing something up.

Yes, HTC is pretty good about repairing their hardware, unless they can confirm that what the user did was directly responsible for the failure. I haven't unlocked mine yet because I'm pretty satisfied with the stock ROM. I'm hoping for an update to get rid of the "menu button" issue though...
This is the first HTC phone I haven't unlocked and flashed. Yet.

It sua tempered when there's an unsigned kernel/recovery still on the phone... If you flash stock recovery/kernel and relock then the tampered will go away.
But s-off is what we need to rewrite those flags

Test Device

What is a "Test Device"? I noticed this the other day (see attachment). I got a replacement phone last week (this phone), and not sure if it was there when it was stock, or that happens when I did the S-Off.
Or is that a special phone that got out in the wild? My girlfriend's phone HTC One doesn't have it.

Rooting your phone did this not s off. It's totally normal

Actually my phone isn't rooted (currently). Because I have S-Off, I used the RUU to take my phone back to stock to get the OTA update. So phone is 100% stock other than having S-Off.

Actually from what I have read, S-OFF did this not rooting.

Read my comment above. I've had that test device message since rooting my phone. I just did S Off 2 days ago so I can confirm its done after rooting/installing a custom rom etc...

I tried rooting my HTC one with qbking77 video tutorial. Unlocked the bootloader but couldn't root upon many unsuccessful attempts. Eventually relocked the bootloader.now my phone is given me tampered and relocked and security warning. I can't even turn off the phone. Anytime I try to turn it off it goes to fastboot mode.

This thread. This topic. I'm not filled with hope.
What do you mean, "Anytime I try to turn it off it goes to fastboot mode"? Did you flash recovery.img? How did you mess up unlocking the bootloader it couldn't be easier.

Unlocked boot loader all right. It was the rooting which was the problem. I tried and tried and when I couldn't do it. I relocked the bootloader. The phon is working alright but sometimes when I want to turn the phone off especially when I am in meetings it just won't go off. It goes to fastboot mode

Sending phone in questions ?

Ok so I'm sending my phone in for repair and would like to know what to do and what not to do when sending in to HTC for repair . I just dont want to pay extra for stupid crap software wise or some stupid re install fee for modifying my phone . I have no problems completing any task nessecary to go back to stock I just want to know what I cab get away with sending to htc. So here it goes
I have at&t branded one
I'm currently on android 4.3
Firmware 3.17
S-off
Cid 11111111
Hboot 1.55
And bootloader unlocked.
What can I get away with ? Leaving s-off no matter what and we all know why just hoping I get my same phone back .
Since I'm att does it matter that I'm higher than 4.1.2 and higher hboot cid bootloader etc etc
Really what does HTC care about ? And what should I correct before sending in to HTC ?
Thank you for your time
Should I just change my cid to dev and flash dev ruu ?

Very helpful.
To OP: What problem are you sending it in for? If its a hardware problem that couldn't be caused by anything you did, then leave it. They dont care unless it could be caused by something you did to the bootloader. Just to be safe though, you could make a twrp backup, then flash a stock rom. No need to relock the bootloader or anything.

And saying the same thing in more words is more helpful?
He should return it to stock software, why risk it?
Advising they don't care about unlocked and unsigned software is bizarre, since people have been refused repair or charged for a new mainboard.

In the US? When I called HTC to do my repair (power button stopped working), I asked if unlocking the bootloader mattered. He said not unless you brick the phone doing it. I sent it in bootloader unlocked and ARHD installed. I got it back with no hassles.
