''Tampered'' Bootloader - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After unlocking the bootloader with htc dev's services on the HTC One, the bootloader says tampered.
I have read that there is a way to get rid of that message and relock the bootloader.
Will they be able to see it has been unlocked before and void the warranty for any hardware errors?

Yes it will say relocked instead of locked. So youre warranty is void now

A recent verdict in Holland says that rooting does not void your warranty http://tweakers.net/nieuws/88837/garantie-telefoons-mag-niet-vervallen-bij-root-of-jailbreak.html
Btw I have a one s which says tampered but was never unlocked but aalways kept completely stock.

Unrooting the phone and installing stock recovery removes the tampered banner. You can relock the bootloader, but until we get s-off it will always say "relocked" instead of "locked" generally if it's not processor or gpu related your warranty will be fine.
You were warned on HTCDev twice and twice on your device that the warranty MAY be void.
The word MAY is usually due to cpu/gpu since unlocking means you can install custom kernels to overclock the hardware thus reducing its' life expectancy.

Nope. Not this phone. I asked the devs. They said no. Must have lost interest I guess?
Edit: I should have explicitly stipulated this was an attempt at humor. Guess I'm not as funny as I thought was..

Thanks for reply, but having s-off is just a matter of time i guess, or are there devices on which s-off wasn't achieved?
Can I ask you, what you would do if for some reason your hardware fails and you're not sure whether your warranty is still active?
ps,I don't regret unlocking it , I just hope manufacturers and providers set the rules straight about the warranty after root\unlock

You mean send your HTC one to them to get it s-off?
If they have done it, surely the masterminds of xda-developers can

I'm sure it will be out eventually. That company achieved s off by JTAG. Nothing new and easily achievable if you have the right equipment. I wouldn't count it as an accomplishment. It'll take longer to come up with a software version of obtaining s off.

when you unlock the phone they say that the warranty MAY be void, so it doesn't mean that your warranty is completely voided... but you can't hide the fact that you have unlocked the bootloader, unless they find a solution to s-off the phone every user have to live with this unfortunately...
Yup. Until s-off once you unlock there's no going back.

Yup. Your stuck. However, I read somewhere that HTC had said they will only not warranty your device if your software modding caused the issue. If it is a legitimate hardware defect they will still honor the warranty.

if they see that you've unlocked your phone they'll make everything harder and harder, happened to many persons with the One X... anyway in the end their phone had always been replaced...
chances are if you take it to the store they wont even check if its rooted or anything. they will look at the screen and phone if there is no physical damage they will exchange it.
Even with S-Off you send your devices details to HTC when you request your unlock.

you can relock the bootloader but you cant go back to stock yet. your best bet is to install a stock looking rom take it to the store and show the the dead pixels and get them to exchange it. but i think there might be something in the warranty about a certain number of dead pixels to be considered defective. at least thats the way it is with lcd tvs

This has been asked many times. As a safe answer, yes rooting voids your warranty. But its not as simple as that, and it all depends on local consumer laws. In the UK HTC would have to prove that rooting caused the fault in order to reject a warranty repair. In theory only if you brick your device HTC should have the right to deny a repair. In practice they can come up with any excuse for any fault (e.g. your screen doesn't work anymore because you rooted, change to a ROM that modified parameters that caused the screen to fail etc.). And no, if you root and unroot, your bootloader status will be RE-LOCKED instead of LOCKED, so they will know if you previously rooted the device and could still deny a repair.

Dude if you mess with your phone with rooting or flashing other roms be prepared to have your warranty voided. That's the risk you take. Unrooting isn't magically going to bring the warranty back.

I believe he means, he 're-locked the bootlloader and either put stock back on through an RUU or he just installed a stock looking Rom.
If you unlocked your boot loader through revone odds are your warranty is fine! If you used the HTC website then your warranty MAY be void.
Best thing to do, is just run a RUU, and send it in. Some people have sent in their devices S-off and Unlocked.

Hello,
I dont want to open new topic. I am on the latest 4.3 version with One and I want to make root, just root, no custom roms, just root for some apps. Can you please tell me the easiest, fastest and safest way to do that ? And also what should I do in order to make warranty in the future valid, like backup of stock rom or something.

Sprint has finally figured out how to unlock your sim. I did it yesterday! You have to get sprint to push an update through the international dept and then you insert your new sim card and then the simlock enabled message will appear. You then go to system updates and tap the uicc unlock button. You will need to make sure you are connected to wifi when you tap that button and the simlock enabled message is there. It will prompt for a reboot when it finishes and then you just set your phone do gsm and the simlock enabled message will not be there after the reboot.

I am not sure since I only have an international sim card. From what I understand, even if it did work on Tmo or ATT, it wouldn't have the greatest data rates since the sprint htc one doesn't have all of the correct frequencies in its radio.
it would get t mobile 3g here on 1900 but thats still rolling out. And i think t mobile uses 1900 for LTE so who knows..we use that for LTE too.

How to Unroot ATT Moto X?

Just rooted my ATT moto x using jcase's method (which was ridiculously easy). Now I'm curious how to unroot in case I get prompted with an OTA in the coming days.
Can anyone shed some light on the easiest way to do this?
Thank you very much.
Sent from my XT1058 using xda app-developers app
Flash stock firmware and recovery with either Rsdlite or fastboot. If you use fastboot you can preserve data.
The firmware is in the Dev section

As noted if you want to preserve data, just flash the recovery.img and the system.img from the stock firmware via fastboot and you'll be all set. I did it and works just fine. Be sure to use the firmware file for ATT.

No its easy. Just follow the instructions on the thread about flashing back to stock, but you probably should have already done it. You can just fastboot flash recovery and system without wiping and then reboot. Then accept the OTA.

Fastboot will work unless you're trying to downgrade. It will work with a locked bootloader because these are signed official images. All I can say is, make sure you have downloaded the correct file for your phone. If you're on Verizon, system flash won't work because the file size is too big. Just fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then reboot the phone and do a factory reset. This should take you back to stock.

Sorry, but I'm not familiar with Mac enough to help. I'm sure someone can help you out though. I don't know if Mac and Linux are the same, but when I flash using fastboot on my Ubuntu machine, I have to do sudo fastboot flash or it won't work.

So. I'm not terribly new to the android Dev world. After a short hiatus with the lumia 1020, I'm back. Traded said lumia for a supposed Google edition HTC one. Couple of issues.
First the box he gave it to me is an att 32gb HTC one package. The imei on the box does not match the one in the phone. The phone itself works fine and indeed is running a 4.3 unrooted vanilla ROM. I used an imei lookup website and both of the imeis link back to sense vs HTC ones. Note for the question.
Is there any way to verify that this is indeed the Google play edition and he just gave me a different box?
As a side note, if it is indeed a Google play edition, which Dev forum should I be in?
I've attached a screenshot of the about section showing kernel version.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I believe a complete GPe convention would be exactly the same as the original.
They have identical hardware and it's possible to change the MID and CID to GPe.
Is the phone S-off?

Not sure to be honest. How do I get into the boot loader on this phone?

Yes it is soff.
Cid is googl001 I think that's correct.

You can never be sure if it is truly a Google play edition phone. They literally are the same exact phone with different software on them. As long as it works, I think you're good.
There is no separate section of XDA for that phone because any rom will work on either phone.
Only true way was if you were able to list the supported frequencies.
The GPe is idectical to the the AT&T model except it supports a couple more international bands. That's something a conversion process will not alter.
But as far as I know there isn't a way to find out.
Like others have said both models are 99% identical you wouldnt notice the difference. All GSM roms work with all GSM models. If the phone is in good physical condition and everything works and you didn't get the dev edition for it's particular international support then you shouldn't have any issues.

OK. Thanks for the responses. So the att forums T-Mobile forums and the basic HTC one forums are all pretty much safe. Is the rooting process the same? Either way time to delve into the information provided here on xda. Thanks again.

Yes to your questions. All GSM models are identical except their respective carrier support. Rooting is the same, but with rooting methods on all android devices new updates might prevent rooting/S-Off. The individual forums are more so things are more or less organized.

I'd say since its s-off, 90% its a converted, but as others have said, no way to be sure.
The only difference in the rooting process is if your bootloader isnt already unlocked, you don't have to use HTCDev. You can just use "fastboot oem unlock".
And since you luckily stumbled on a phone with s-off I would read up on it, and its advantages and disadvantages.

After this it is indeed unlocked and appears to be a converted HTC one. Which is fine with me. However the imei numbers being mismatched between the box and my phone has me a bit worried. Is it something I should worry about?

It may be that he just gave you a different box.
Or it may be that whatever conversion process was used took a little too much from the phone that donated the system dump. I don't know how you'd check.

Last question. I have stock android unrooted 4.3 on the phone now. Stock recovery. Bootloader is black instead of white and cid is Google cid. Soff and unlocked. Can I just fastboot flash twrp recovery and pick and choose ROMs for gsm model and start flashing? And if that is correct can I flash both sense ROMs and aosp? Thanks again for the help.

Yes. To all questions.
Edit: also, as I said, you should read up on s-off and what you can do because of it.
