[Q] - Need immediate help on removing "TAMPERED" and "RELOCKED" text on boot
Hello,
I bought a HTC ONE M7 about 2 month ago. After two week of using phone, I decided to use my phone on 3G network but faced a problem.
When I use a 3G network, I can send and receive SMS, also can receive CALLs, but I can't make out going CALLs. After dialing, call ended immediately! I have this problem also on 2G network in some areas of our city. I checked my SIM on another phones (Nokia N97 and Samsung Galaxy S3) and worked fine.
I thought this may be a bug on software, and wait for 4.2.2. After installing OTA, the problem is still remained.
Now I decided to send it to warranty. But I think there is a problem. I UNLOCKED my phone from HTCDEV.com and RELOCKED again. I do it, because they wrote on the warning this "MAY' void your warranty. Now my phone has a "TAMPERED" and "RELOCKED" text on hboot.
How can I remove them and take my phone to fully stocked as 1st day?
Regards.

Use the Revone toolkit if you can to gain s-on and to remove the relock and then flash with stock RUU.
This should be sufficiant to fool them in to believing that the phone is stock

Use an older RUU and then try to update the device OTA.
Should work if i'm not mistaken.

When I use an Older RUU, I receive ERROR! After searching, it seems that can't install older RUU to downgrade!
Even if it doesn't update right away, it's not a crime to have an older o's on your device. My girlfriends dad never updates his phones

No it's no problem having older Firmware, aslong as it's not Modified, Has root Access or is S-Off.
So for warranty purpose it should be fine.
I know I accepted devices that haddent been updated when I was a repair agent

Can I go S-OFF from whis guide ? :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
Is it usable on windows ? ... I think CHMOD command is a linux command.
And for last question... If I go S-OFF then downgrade RUU and then update again, the "TAMPERED" text will removed ? and "RELOCKED" will changed to "LOCKED" as first day?
Regards.

Yes that's the right guide for S-off The tampered text will not be removed but if you read through the Revone instructions it will tell you how to remove tampered text and lock your bootloader again, but do it before you upgrade to 4.2.2 as people are reporting revone is not working on the new bootloader within the 4.2.2 update.
htcdev.com is the problem I think...

I think the problem will be the following :
You unlocked your phone via HTCDEV.com and so, HTC knows that your phone is unlocked...
Will it be accepted??
go figure...

Thanks for your help man ...
I think that the steps I should fallow is like these:
1 - Go S-OFF through revone guide (I'll see S-OFF and "UNLOCKED" text in hboot after doing it. Right?)
2 - Removed "TAMPERED" text with this command : revone -t
3 - I should relocked my phone to prepare installing exe RUU. Right? How do this? With this command ? revone -l (or) revone -r. Witch one?
4 - Run related exe RUU. My best option will: http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=M7
RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe

5 - Now I should go S-ON. I found this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358738
Is it necessary that I change my CID? My current one is : HTC__J15
Then fallow to S-ON and remove the revone from temp as guide.
After these steps I have a phone that is "LOCKED' with NO "TAMPERED" text in hboot.Right?
And can update it to 2.24.401.1 again from wifi and OTA.
Right?

Once you gain S-off just run the RUU Iused 1.28.401.7 then remove tampered and then lock the bootloader folowing instructions from the Revone thread Ithink it's the second post.
Just reread through this thread and I beleive you have taken the OTA 4.2.2 update if this is correct I don't think you will be able to gain S-off as the new bootloader blocks it.

No, you've misunderstood. As you are on 4.2.2 you cannot S-off so you are stuck with 'relocked' but you can remove 'Tampered' by flashing stock. Without S-off, you cannot go back to 'locked'

OUW !
As there is no RUU for 4.2.2 also i CAN'T flash to stock to remove "TAMPERED"
I think removing "TAMPERED" will not help me. Because when a phone gone "UNLOCKED", the "TAMPERED" text appeared at same time.
And when a "RELOCKED" shown without "TAMPERED" => They found that it's un-normal.
Right?

If your hboot is 1.54/1.55 then you cannot currently s-off so you either have to wait or send it back saying tampered/relocked.
However if this is a physical fault with the phone you should still be covered but if it's a firmware related issue then you maybe out of luck.
There is no ruu for my phone (02___001) so now I have s off I was going to run a stock ruu and update to the latest firmware. If I send the phone back for repair and change my cid to HTC_001 would HTC know I have changed my cid even if I s on?
Anyone help me at all?

Two things:
1- I dont know if they keep a record of IMEI (or s/n) <--> carrier, but I think they have to and do.
2- the CID is stored in several partitions, not only the one you change with fastboot writecid.
HOWEVER, it really depends on how far they're going to dig into this, if they are going to check their IMEI database or check the different partitions on the phone, just to "prove you wrong", I guess they could.
But then again, would it be worth all that hassle for them?
I dont have any experience with repair centers or how far they would go to prove that you changed something on your phone, and it's really quite country (and HTC people) dependent; for some they have no problem with an unlocked or relocked phone, and other even have a problem with S-Off (though they can't prove the phone didn't ship that way in the first place)
Better have someone from your region (O2 so UK?) post their experience(s)
Ah that's ok
So you reckon it would be better to be completely stock with stock CID and leave it s-off as it could ha e shipped that way anyway even for a carrier branded phone?

I honestly cannot say mate, have ZERO experience with this, just what I've read from other people; can't remember which countries, but some have sent their phone in for repair (eg for the purple camera issue) with tampered, unlocked etc and got either a repair or a brand new phone, others sent it completely stock, only with S-Off and were refused service (and the service center can't even prove it didn't ship that way, nor did they try).
Sorry can't help you out, or give any good advice about that.
I can help get you back to stock, or at least as close to stock as possible (you can check some of the other guys I've helped out in the Q&A section), but that's about as far as I can go.
Cheers & good luck
EDIT: one guy I helped (I think from Canada) got it 100% stock and S-On, and the a**holes still gave him a hard time, don't know what happened in the end, hope they fixed it for him.

If you could help me yes that would be great mate
The steps I took to get where I am are as follows:
1. I was running a stock 02 UK Rom (2.24.206.7) and achieved s off using rumrunner
2. I downgraded hboot to 1.44 and installed a stock ruu for cid HTC__001
3. I flashed cwm recovery and nandroid restored my phone to o2 backup 1.29.206.1 and flashed a stock recovery before locking the bootloader using adb shell command and then installing the updates (my cid was also changed back to 02___001 to do this). I note also that I'm not sure that the recovery was completely stock, as I had to manually reboot the phone a few times to allow the ota to install.
4. I upgraded my phone via various OTA's until the latest 3.62.206.1 firmware
5. Satisfied that the OTA had flashed the latest stock hboot, stock recovery and stock Rom I did fastboot oem writesecureflag 3. I got success and when I reboot it said tamper detected - rebooting. The bootloader is now locked, s on and tampered
What steps would you add/take away or change?
I can unlock again using htcdev and start again I guess
Would you advise maybe re running rumrunner once I'm back to version 2.24.206.7 and run all the commands again (lock, remove tampered) and then s on?
The reason I ran the ota from an earlier nandroid was because I thought I would restore everything to stock by ota
If you help me achieve this I will gladly buy you a beer lol!

1- Well the steps you took sound very good (I personally, would have skipped all the OTAs), but can you elaborate on "when I reboot it said tamper detected - rebooting", do you mean that you had removed TAMPERED and it suddenly came back by itself???
2- For you to be able to fix this, you will need S-Off, I just checked rumrunner, and there's only a 3.62.401.1 package around, hopefully it will work, otherwise you will need: "If you mainver is not listed, please contact [email protected] with firmware version AND a link to the corresponding RUU and/or firmware ota package." (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487888)
3- I guess you're going to have to unlock again, and try rumrunner 3.62.401.1 package and hope it works without the hassle of having to send in you firmware.
4- Beer won't be necessary, I'm actually enjoying a scotch at the moment ; maybe when I'm in London next time Otherwise hitting the thanks button, is more than enough!
So I guess, go ahead an unlock and try to get S-Off, post back with results. I'll keep an :cyclops: on the thread and help as much I can.

Yes the phone said on booting up the Rom - "tamper detected - rebooting" and then my bootloader said tampered
I had to do the ota as I didn't have the stock recovery for version 1.29.206.7 as I knew the ota would flash an official recovery
I guess I could 're-run s off rumrunner when I'm on 2.24.206.7 (the 2.24.401.7 version works for this) and reset all the flags and then s on again?
You think that could work?

Hmmm, interesting (only saw 1 other post like that, I think), did that happen after the last OTA which updated hboot to 1.55; wondering if they "patched" something in 1.55.

The first OTA would have been enough, you didn't need to go all the way to 3.62; you had to manually reboot the first OTA yourself because stock recovery wasn't 100% correct, but after the OTA was successfully installed, you could have stopped at that.

Problem is you are already on 3.62 and downgrading isn't possible with S-On, so you're going to have to unlock and try a rumrunner package that get's you s-off. If the 3.62.401 rumrunner works or the 2.24.206.7 or whichever one works to get you S-Off it doesn't matter, but you do need to get S-Off (IMHO).

No problem!
Right these are the steps I'm going to do
1. Unlock bootloader via HTC dev
2. Install guru reset for 2.24.401.8
3. Run rumrunner and get s off
4. Downgrade hboot to 1.44
5. Restore nandroid backup for my 02 version 1.28.206.7
6. Upgrade via OTA to 2.24.206.7 (mostly to fix the stock recovery to match)
7. Go s-on to see what happens
8. If s-on fails in any way then redo the HTC dev unlock, 're run rumrunner and get s off again using the same version of rumrunner
9. Reset tampered flag and lock bootloader via adb shell
10. Retry s-on again
11. Upgrade to latest hboot without having to do writesecureflag 3 again
Thoughts on this method? I'm just wondering if people tried going s on in hboot 1.55 caused this tampered message to appear or if I s on first and then update will it appear then after? I do t know. I'd like to hear your thoughts tho

Ok, my thoughts, in a nutshell
1. Unlock bootloader via HTC dev <- YES
2----- try rumrunner 3.62
2. Install guru reset for 2.24.401.8
3. Run rumrunner and get s off <- Ok, try, if it fails use above rumrunner 3.62
Once S-Off:
--- remove tampered: revone or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792
5. Restore nandroid backup for my 02 version 1.28.206.7
--- set phone to LOCKED, using revone (or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914)
------- you will need to have SU privileges which you can get using revone or flashing SuperSU; if you do flash SuperSU, uninstall it after getting LOCKED
6. Upgrade via OTA to 2.24.206.7 (mostly to fix the stock recovery to match) <- Yep
11. Upgrade to latest hboot without having to do writesecureflag 3 again
Once you have your bootloader "LOCKED", no TAMPERED, no red text on bootup, do "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"
reboot three times and see if everything sticks, and don't take any other OTAs.
Hit me with a thanks if this was useful
So you think I shouldn't upgrade to the latest OTA once I get s on?

Since you're sending it in for repair, why would you want to?
But anyway, as long as the above steps work to get S-Off (again and again, if necessary), you can try and see if you dont get that "tamper detected" thing again. If it doesnt show up again you're all good to go.
(and I would be curious if we could find out where that comes from. the "tamper detected" hmmm )

Ok so I'll do the HTC dev unlock and install the guru reset by recovery and s off again. The rumrunner for 3.62.401 does not work with my rpm version
After that I'll downgrade the hboot to 1.44, install an android 4.1.2 RUU and then flash my nandroid backup. I'll reset the tamper and lock bootloader after flashing stock recovery
Then I'll upgrade to 2.24.206.7 and try s on. If it fails. I'll run the rumrunner for version 2.24.401.8 which def works with that Rom version as confirmed by others. Then I'll do the reset flags again and try s on. Try few reboots then send in for repair once satisfied
Sound like a plan? I hope so lol

Yep, sounds good, except I would unlock using HTCdev then immediately try the 3.62 rumrunner to get S-Off, if it works GREAT and you're pretty much sure to be able to "easily" get S-Off on any version.
If it doesn't S-Off then try the Guru Reset.
BTW, as soon as you unlock, do a nandroid and "adb pull" it to your PC! just in case.

the touchscreen drivers were part of the 2.xx firmware package, not hboot, so if you don't use a full RUU, it will break the touchscreen drivers, but you can use an OTG cable + mouse.

Unfortunately you can't (anymore), but this one should be close enough: http://d-h.st/users/guich/?fld_id=25920#files, or the best thing is to get a hold of the OTA 3.62.206.1 file and extract it from it.
Anyway, in my humble opinion, first things first: unlock using HTCdev and see if you can get rumrunner to S-Off on 3.62.

check my thread, replied to you there
I received an O2 HTC One that had had some messing.
Device was S-ON, Tampered, Relocked with FW 3.62.401.1, custom ROM and HBOOT 1.55.
I unlocked the bootloader using HTVDev and ran rumrunner over it to get it S-OFF.
Plan was to return it to stock. I followed a guide on here to return it which entailed:
S-OFF
Downgrade to HBOOT 1.44
Change CID to HTC__032
Run RUU for FW 1.28.401.1
Change CID to O2___001
Restore Nandroid 1.28.206.1
Lock bootloader
Remove tampered
OTA updates to 3.62.206.1
S-ON
Because I am a fool I forgot to Lock the bootloader and remove tampered before I went S-ON. I am now on 3.62.206.1 and rumrunner does not seem to work. I get to the same point every time...
Code:
Checking for updates......
Test 1: Rebooting into bootloader
Waiting for fastboot (7/120)
Waiting
Test 2: Booting device
Waiting for ADB (35/120)
must ferment longer...
must sanitize, skunky rum is nasty
hold please..............................................
[------------------------------------------------------------]
Rebooting into bootloader (again)
Waiting for fastboot (7/120)
and then I get the FATAL error.
Things I have tried so far, all get to the same point:
1. Windows 7 w/ HTC Drivers provided with phone
2. Windows 7 w/ HTC Drivers downloaded
3. Windows 7 w/ CWM Drivers
4. Windows 8.0 w/ HTC Drivers provided from phone
5. Windows 8.0 w/ HTC Drivers downloaded
6. Windows 8.0 w/ CWM Drivers
7. Windows 8.1 w/ HTC Drivers provided with phone
8. Ubuntu 13.10
I am absolutely stumped. I can only assume that after the OTA update to 1.55 my phone is no longer vulnerable to whatever exploit Rumrunner uses.
Unless anyone else knows any reason for it to fail at this point?
Oh, and each OS was a clean install. I have spent a lot of time today on this!

That sound's awfully familiar, do I have anything to do with that?
If yes, then I said to S-On after 1st OTA ... not after OTA to 3.62
is you bootloader unlocked, or can you unlock bootloader using HTCdev?

The boot loader is unlocked. I can flash custom recovery and roms and also have the current rom rooted. It just appears that my HBOOT doesn't want to play ball.
It did indeed say to S-On after 1st OTA but also had a note that it may not be necessary. I read through and figured I would skip it as I was
, ironically, worried if I would successfully be able to S-OFF the next time around. I guess it was a kind of trial run and I was trying to play it safe.

Xperia's are easily rooted, deodexed, unlocked, re-locked, downgraded, etc. and if I want to revert to stock, i'll just flash stock FTF and return to warranty unlike HTC phones there's this hboot, s-off, etc. I read a lot of tutorials, noob guides, etc. but got confused on where to start. I just want root without unlocking bootloader or s-off and revert to stock when needed. Any tips guys? and how do you compare xperia development from htc's. Thanks guys.

you can only get temproot without unlocking the bootloader
the steps for your phone are
unlock bootloader @ htcdev.com
flash custom recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.3 preferred)
Make a Nandroid Backup
Flash SuperSU
reboot and enjoy

Yes,unlocking bootloader is must if you want to get permanent root.Further, if you want to return to complete stock in future,you should think about getting S-Off too.I have had a lot of problem because i can't get S-Off .But you should study before you do anything. Unlocking bootloader will result in loss of data/preload* apps which is a serious problem if you want to get future official OTA updates.If you unlock bootloader,u have to flash data/preload apps again if an official OTA update comes in near future. The most serious part is that the OTA updates check md5 of the apps intalled,so each app of data/preload must have the same md5 as before.But, if you are planning to use custom roms and you don't want official updates, that is not going to be a problem.There are several things that should be carefully studied before you do anything.I can give you a head start on what items to study.
1.check your CID ,mid,firmware version and note it.
2.Search OTA which matches your CID,mid and firmware version, it contains the stock recovery,data/preload apps which you may need in future.
3.Try to learn about S-ON/S-OFF, their uses and implications.
4.Do study about how OTA affects your chances to get S-OFF which you may need in future during serious problems.
5. try to read more and more through the forum, this is must.
Lastly,if you need comprehensive details on unlocking bootloader,flashing recovery,rooting and more, go through the video tutorials by "Sakitech" on youtube.I found them the most useful ones.And. last but not the least, this is all my opinion.Good luck!:good:

he mentions the OTA contains files you may need in the future ... it's of no use to you now your already above that version. When you unlock the bootloader your phone gets wiped and you loose (everything) a folder called data/preload
that's needed later to take a new OTA update. That folder can sometimes be retrieved from an old OTA package.
I know it seems confusing now but it will all be simple once you start doing it.

In my opinion, unlock your bootloader,intall custom recovery, and root. After you do all these steps, your device's bootloader menu will show tampered and unlocked flag.So, if you want to remove those flags in future, you will strictly need S-OFF. So, you could see how important is it to get S-OFF. Getting S-OFF gets harder as the hboot version of your phone increases and hboot version normally increases after official software update. In some cases, you will need to use premium apps like Moonshine to get S-OFF.So i advice you to unlock bootloader, intall custom recovery,root and then get S-OFF. Having all of them gives you entire freedom in modding. But, after having S-OFF, you will also need to be more responsible when you flash things. That's why, i told you to read as much as possible. If you want to do what i told you, follow these steps.
1.unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, and root.Link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJYAS2KN17Y
2.to get S-OFF, try: http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
3. During the end of second step, if you get "Whelp it sucks,no amount of re-flashing custom roms and kernel will do", you will need moonshine to S-OFF. Since it is a premium app,AFAIK, you will need to pay 25$. But, before you pay, they will make sure whether or not will it work on you device.Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291087, http://moonshine.io/

Install custom recovery and install SuperSU.zip

I'm gonna be needing S-OFF. (i'm on 1.57 so I'm gonna search for it.)
flash my stock nandroid
flash stock recovery (if fastboot boot recovery.img didnt work)

To gain permanent root access:
1)I'm gonna need to unlock bootloader first; + 2)flash a custom recovery like TWRP
3)Make a stock nandroid (with stock recovery intact via cmd fastboot boot recovery.img); ---> fastboot boot recovery.img command only work on hboot 1.44 so you'll need to make a nandroid backup with the recovery installed on your phone which will overwrite your stock recovery.
Install custom recovery and 3)install SuperSU.zip
To revert to 100% stock:
I'm gonna be needing S-OFF. (i'm on 1.57 so I'm gonna search for it.) --> Firewater or Sunshine if firewater doesnt work.
flash my stock nandroid + flash back /data/preload folder (wiped when unlocking bootloader)
flash stock recovery (if fastboot boot recovery.img didnt work) If you can find your stock recovery somewhere (overwritten by the custom recovery)
lock recovery
fix tampered/relock flag ---> might come back if removed on hboot 1.55 and above

yes but downgrade only if needed (like to return to stock) You must have s-off to downgrade and use this RUU. Once downgraded you can take ota to re-update your phone.

just confirm that the ruu match your MID and CID
CID and MID of the ruu can be found in the android-info.txt file of the ruu

flash the 2.24.708.4 RUU.zip which will also flash the stock recovery
remove flags etc etc

yes hboot will also be downgraded. You will not loose s-off when flashing a ruu. Only turn s-on back if you must send the phone for warranty.
