From what I've read is S-Off is base security off completely and bootloader unlock isnt needed. Im just leaving my bootloader unlocked in case.
Hi
greetings,
unlock bootloader gives access to partial system files
where as S-OFF which means security off will give you full system access
if your s-off and locked bootloader then you can not use fastboot\abd commands. for that you need a unlocked bootloader.
but you being S-OFF you can directly flash a patched hboot which will give access to bootloader option ( do not know if its available right now)
so you will have to unlock your hboot or flash a patched hboot.
you need fastboot\abd commands to flash recovery and that needs unlocked bootloader.
I don't believe that's true. You have to use fastboot to unlock the bootloader and I used fastboot getvar all while locked.
I just wanna know if I can flash a Rom with locked bootloader and s-off.

I have a HTC butterfly and I already did that we now have s off and we can change our relocked to locked on our bootloader. Once ur s off u can use custom recovery and root and also flash roms when bootloader is locked I did it couple times jus make sure u have cwm or twrp as the recovery. But for ur phone I don't think so because we don't use fastboot oem lock command no more we use a flashable zip to lock

Yes you can flash a ROM with S-OFF and locked but you can't flash a custom recovery whilst locked unless you have a ZIP you can flash via fastboot (like it used to be with the Sensation/Desire). Leaving it unlocked doesn't actually matter as if you ever need to send it back to HTC you can reload the stock ROM and lock it again before doing so. Everyone wins
Thank you for the answer.

PLEASE READ: This will only work on a stock, signed S-OFF HBOOT. Do not try this on a patched or ENG HBOOT or the result will be a permanent hard brick.
1. Boot into fastboot on your device
2. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to where your fastboot binary is.
3. Type the following commands:
Code:
fastboot devices
Ensure your device is listed
_________________________________
Code:
fastboot oem readsecureflag
The output should read something like: secure_flag: 0
_________________________________
Code:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
_________________________________
Last:
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
Verify that your device is now S-ON
Thanks to Blue6IX for original tutorial
Thanks for this man, I was wondering when someone would come up with this. People will need it to fully return to stock.

Thanks bud. Logic would suggest you could enter 0 to give s off inplace of 3 to return to s on.

No that will not work, you will have to run the S-Off tool again to regain it.

Just clarifying something, so this will or will NOT work for the ics hboot posted on the s-off site by juopunutbear?

It will, just as long as you chose the non-patched hboot without fastboot commands.
Just had to use this method.
Used the PH39IMG to get back to a stock hboot and ran the commands. Confirmed that it does display locked in hboot.
Unlocked, reflashed recovery.. and I am good to go s-on

Yeah seems the
SECOND OPTION (PH39IMG.zip flash) <-- link dead
So can I do OPTION ONE and download the correct RUU and do the same or does the PH39IMG.zip have something the RUU does not ?

So for all intents and purposes, it will look like it was never HTC Unlocked then? My g/f has a Vivid, and she's very picky about going to the darkside of rooting, because she doesn't want her warranty voided. If it can look like it's been returned to stock, that would help.
I cant get it to say ***LOCKED*** I locked hboot, ran GB RUU, ran ICS RUU, followed your steps, fastboot oem readsecureflag
Output is : secure_flag: 3
***RELOCKED***
S-ON
Did I do something wrong?
Ok so I unlocked the bootloader and I was s-on, I tried to do the wire trick and messed it so I have to do a RUU, now I have a locked bootloader but I'm s-off? And when I go into recovery I'm in the joupterbear screen and that's all, and sugestions on why I should do next?

I also have a true S-OFF IncS (via XTC clip), but with HBOOT 2.0x, I still had to relock the bootloader if I wanted to run an official RUU despite having S-OFF. S-OFF did allow me to flash any RUU without the need for a goldcard, but if I didn't relock the bootloader, the RUU would throw a 155 error, so I am speaking from personal experience.

It says tampered, security warning, relocked. I used hasoon2000s toolkit to relock bootloader and now it is stuck. What should I do? I can not get out of bootloader either and there is nothing I can do? Can anyone please help?
Either unlock it or run the RUU. A locked bootloader will check for discrepancies between what is supposed to be written and what is written.

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.

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.
