I was listening to music earlier and all of a sudden the volume reduced so naturally went to the phone too see if it was just an issue with the audio i was listening to and it turns out the speaker has no sound at all. Has anybody else got/had this issue yet and know a way of resolving it without sending it back? :crying:
It's probably a hardware issue and you're better off sending it back if you're still under warranty. It could be a loose wire or something simple like that, but do not try removing the lower speaker grill yourself as it is glued in and a pain in the butt to put back.
Trouble is my bootloader is unlocked so it wont be covered under the warranty will it?
I don't think that an unlocked bootloader voids the warranty, but there have been different speculations regarding that and vendors seem to treat these cases differently. A very nice article on Android Revolution HD's blog says that an unlocked bootloader does NOT void the warranty and gives reasons why, have a read: http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/2013/03/unlocking-bootloader-or-flashing-custom.html
Make sure you flash a stock ROM and the stock recovery, though, and that the bootloader doesn't say "TAMPERED" because of custom recovery. I'd suggest installing the proper RUU for your device.
i have loaded a custom recovery so i do have the **** TAMPERED **** flag, i was look at s-off and saw that it removes it and can relock the bootloader. Now this would be great if i can then re-enable s-on that way it would look like it was completely stock is there anyway to do that? As its just a speaker issue im sure they would look at the bootloader see that its locked and s-on and be like ahh just give him another one its clearly out fault?

I am not so sure how that will work because my device is S-OFF, but I am assuming there are several threads about this here. Plus, I believe that it is more important to remove the TAMPERED flag than to re-enable S-ON, as some devices actually ship with S-OFF rather than S-ON, or at least that's how it worked on the One X. Plus, it's a speaker issue (a hardware one), as you said, so it should have nothing to do with the soft status of your devices (whether the bootloader is unlocked, rooted, etc.).

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.

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

RE-LOCKED
I would be surprised if they removed the tampered warning just by relocking.

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

Basically I have a purple tint in my camera I am thinking of going for advance replacement but can HTC be trusted with a credit card hold or will they after recieving my phone which is in mint condition cry about some extremely minor flaw and say they wont remove the hold and charge me the amount of the new phone? Will I be stuck buying a new phone or is the advance replacement system nice and friendly?
PS my phone is bootloader unlocked from htc dev still s-on will that be a problem. I will obviously relock it and stock everything before returning it
Or should I s-off and then lock bootloader through other means so it shows bootloader locked not relocked?
Thank you for your help

so should I s-off and then remove the lock bootloader sign. Will they be able to tell my bootloader was unlocked then?
Or is making the phone s-off asking for trouble?
I'd like to send my phone back to HTC for repairs before selling it to get an M8, but I'm a little wary of doing so because the bootloader reads *** RELOCKED ***. I was unable to achieve S-OFF with this phone, so I can't set it to *** LOCKED ***. However, other than it being Relocked, it is 100% stock. Stock AT&T RUU with OTAs, S-ON, no Tampered flag. Like I said, I can't get S-OFF with my hboot, so I can't set it to Locked.
So, I either can sell it as is, or get a repaired/replaced phone from HTC before selling it. Have you guys sent phones back to HTC in non 100% stock condition? Would you recommend that I send my relocked phone back? I just don't want to get any grief from them. I'm going with the repair option that leaves you without a phone for ten days, but it's free. So I'd like my bill to remain at $0.
Any help/insight is very greatly appreciated.

Nope, they will most likely charge you for repairs, relocked shows your bootloader was once unlocked, and as clearly stated on the unlocking page it says:
You are about to start the process of unlocking your device. Unlocking your device allows you to install custom Operating Systems (“OS”) onto your device. Custom OS’s are not tested as thoroughly as your original OS, and unlocking your device may void all or parts of your warranty. HTC disclaims any and all liability for proper functioning of your device after the bootloader has been unlocked and for data lost in the unlocking process. To prevent unauthorized access to your data, unlocking the bootloader will delete all personal data from your device including applications, text messages and personalized settings
In order to continue, please read and accept the following legal terms:
I acknowledge that use of the unlock bootloader may void all or parts of my warranty device and my device may not function as intended by HTC.
I acknowledge that, if my device requires repairs, HTC may charge for additional costs due to the unlocked bootloader.

no need to root or anything like that with sunshine s-off, just run it on stock, locked rom and it does everything for you, whilst its running, if its going to successfully work then you do have to pay for it, $25 I think it is.

Huh. Well that makes my decision easier. On one hand, I'd love to get a repaired phone from HTC so i can sell it for more, but on the other hand, I could sell it as is and get not that much less for it. There are plenty of rooted and ROM'd phones on swappa, I'm sure something that's almost completely stock would be at least a bit more in demand. Thanks for the help though, I'll have to dwell on it.
OK, so I jumped ship and bought a G3 (for $1 ), and am going to let my daughter have my One. It's unlocked and S-Off. I just ran the latest RUU for it, so outside of being S-Off and unlocked, it's stock.
At first I was going to S-On and re-lock, or vice versa, just to prevent anything bad happening, but got to thinking, if she's running a stock, unrooted ROM, without SU, there's little risk of her creating any issues, right?
Secondly, will it be OK to take an OTA? I know generally taking OTA isn't good, but she won't be running custom or rooted ROM, anyway, so nothing should break, Right?
Thanks in advance!
to get into the bootloader you need to hold down the two seperate buttons so if she doesnt know about bringing it into bootloader and recovery I doubt she could do anything to it and without SU on the rom there isnt much she could do to it other than forgetting a password then all you have to do is get into recovery and flash a new rom.

Well, just so you know, there is a reason bootloaders are locked on delivery. If your daughter loses her phone, it is entirely possible for someone to extract data out of it via fastboot.
I would at the very least lock the bootloader, just for the peace of mind.
S-Off and unlocked do not affect how the phone operates whatsoever. They only affect what can be modified on the phone on a broader scale (radio, recovery, system, boot partitions).
If the phone is unrooted, and she doesn't have access to ADB, then there is no way she can break the phone, rest assured.

When i try to boot my device into android, i Can't because its shows a dead android with a red triangle
(this is the screen where i can go into the recovery menu by pressing power on+ vol up)
i tried to flash the rom again, but the bootloader is locked because i relocked it after the 5.1 rom flash..
and i cant unlock it again because i cant boot into android to check the OEM unlock box.

Why in the world would you relock the bootloader? Against commonsense it would seem. Also, there are threads on here dealing with the update and warning against relocking the boot loader. Those threads also describe efforts to recover from the situation.

I haven't seen anyone warning against relocking the bootloader - in fact, I see many instruction sets where relocking the bootloader is the final step, before the first reboot. Most are for returning to stock. Go ahead and use your hindsight though, you sound so smart.
And yeah, there are plenty of efforts to recover from the situation, but I'm yet to see anyone do so successfully.

If you want to update to the newest OTA you dont need to lock the bootloader back up. The bootloader can remained unlocked when doing this. Its been posted all over XDA about not having to do this. The only time you may want to relock the bootloader is when selling it to someone or trading it in. Thats it.

returning to stock and relocking the bootloader dont go together. You can return to stock and not lock the bootloader. Locking the bootloader has nothing to do with returning a device back to stock. It returns the device back to factory state if u lock it back up. Locking the device back up only should be used for selling the device, or returning the device for repairs. not for taking a ota.

There is no downside to a unlocked bootloader. If i remember correctly a locked bootloader is only for oem to protect for warranty issues nothing to do with security that your describing. A locked bootloader or unlocked bootloader tells the oem that this device was unlocked or locked and will tell the consumer (us) that the warranty was void. Number one rule when taking a device back to OEM for repair is return to stock and lock device like I stated above. Security issues has nothing to do with the bootloader. From my understanding its just for the OEM warranty purposes Only!

I posted the warning because people are not being careful. They are locking the bootloader without even checking it works. I've edited the post to say that. But if you're the sort of person that will be flashiogn a lot, a locked bootloader is not a good thing to have now because if you break recovery and cannot boot your device, you are at present - completely screwed. If you want to be stock, that shouldn't be an issue. Just be careful is all we're saying. ...and I cannot help it if my warning comes after some people have made this mistake. If no one made the mistake, I wouldn't have needed to post a warning. Can of peanuts "May contain nuts"... You know, because you know someone somewhere who was allergic to nuts, ate the nuts.

I thought that an unlocked bootloader allowed someone without 'normal' access to the files on your phone. That's why the bootloader lock/unlock wipes the device.
You're still completely missing my point with the warranty thing. Suppose my phone's unlocked and my screen breaks. Or my USB port stops working. That big unlocked logo under the Google is going to make getting a replacement really difficult.
By saying there's NO downside to unlocking the bootloader for daily use is absurd. I wanted to go back to as-shipped state for daily use, and locked bootloader is part of that. That's a reasonable goal. I don't care if there's something about the bootloader unlocked that you find valuable. I got tired of the tinkering and decided I just wanted my Nexus 6 to be back the way it was - completely.

its not laughable. unless u buy an extended warranty the warranty is up after a year so you would have to figure the work yourself. If you are in the boat where u locked it back up and took the ota and bootlooping or whatever. your stuck till there is a solution. if u want to return to stock . Just return to stock but dont lock the bootloader back up, and flash. its that simple.
Edit: we are not arguing. Its just i have my way on repairs and you have yours. its a debate i guess
Edit: this issue has been brought up and is being researched. i was talking about the returning to stock for repairs dont try and put words in my mouth saying i know a fix.
