Update withouth relocking bootloader

Hi,
I've a UK HTC One with unlocked bootloader, root enabled and custom recovery.
Is it there a package to flash on the actual firmware to update to the .12 version, without relocking bootloader (and so wiping all my content)?
Thank you!

yes there is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245615

Thank you,
but I wanted to flash the whole firmware, and not only the radio.

Then flash a custom ROM... They are all on the .13 base.

What if I don't want a custom firmware, but I just want to keep the stock firmware (with root permission and custom recovery)? Thank you very much

I'd be interested in this too as I foolishly unlocked mine and realised I don't even need it unlocked at all and just want stock with updates lol

relock will not wipe your data
relock and then unlock will !!

Is it possible to make the status " LOCKED" in stead of " RELOCKED" in case i want to send it back for warranty ?

Nope, need S-off for it to say locked again. Should not matter in Europe though for warranty.

[Q] New HTCOne owner who is confused with rooting it, help!

Hi, I just got my HTCOne and I want to root it because I want flash a custom rom (ViperOneRom)
But coming from Galaxy S3 this rooting thing with HTCOne makes me all confused... So I have a few questions that I hope you can help me with
1. Do I need to Unlock Bootloader to be able to flash custom roms (or to root)?
2. Can I unroot and get my warranty back? I have seen several videos and tutorials but they get the "relocked" thing in the bootloader and I don´t think the warrenty will be back if thats still there.
3. Is there any easy and safe way to root and unroot the keep my warranty?
4. What is s-off and s-on, what do I need it for and what can I do with it? Do I need to change anything there when I root/unroot? Can it be changed back and forth?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
1. Yes, you will need an unlocked bootloader. Also to flash a recovery.
2. You can only get back to 'locked' if you are able to use revone s-off. Otherwise you can relock the bootloader.
3. You can get back to stock, but before flashing a different Rom check if they have an ruu or cwm zip for your device. But you cannot make it seem you haven't unlocked the bootloader without revone.
4. S-Off doesn't root the device. And most of it's features are explained (kinda) above.
5. You can check out my toolkit in my signature below if you would like an easy way of doing all this. or try it manually yourself.
Hope this helps!!

1. Yes
2. Yes, if you're s-off
3. Yes, plenty of tutorials and toolkits available, just search.
4. s-off will allow you to flash firmware, radio, change your CID, change bootloader status etc.
I suggest you read up and familiarise yourself on everything before you root.

Hi, thanks for your reply!
What do you mean with, if you can use s-off? How do I check if I can use it... Can it be done before rooting`?

You can use s-off without rooting. Also you can check if you can use it by rebooting into fastboot mode. And looking at the hboot version.

If you have hboot 1.44 you can s-off. This means you'll be able to turn off the tampered flag and lock the boot loader. You can also flash any RUU to return to stock. If you're on hboot 1.54 you have to use HTCDev to unlock the boot loader and will only be able to relock it. You will also have to use RUUs that match your CID, and they will need to be the same or newer than your current firmware.
Read up on s-off though, it may sound good, but it also greatly increases your ability to brick the phone.

My HBoot is version 1.54... Does this mean I am f**ked? No way to root and go back to warranty if I want?

Find someone with a java card, or accept the possibility that rooting may void your warranty.

Javacard people in sweden, Don´t think so :/
Do you think it will be hacked in the near future? ( a year ) if thats the case I could root now... I am not the person that breaks my phone, never have...
What do you think I should do?

There's rumors that the Revolutionary team is making progress on 1.55, but as I said no one can tell you if it's going to happen until it does.

So Since When...

Since when are HTC Devices able to install OTAs while you have an Unlocked Bootloader?

I think as long as you have a Stock recovery you can flash an OTA regardless of bootloader or S-On/Off status.

Google Edition HTC ROM question

So i just got this beast, and I am wondering if I am able to flash a Sense rom on this since out the box I didnt come with it?

Is your bootloader locked or unlocked?
If you have google edition, most people are not able to use fastboot oem unlock, but give it a shot.

Oh ok its unlocked

Never LOCK it then. Or say goodbye to it!
If you have unlocked bootloader, you will need to flash custom recovery, root, and then run one of the S-OFF apps, like rumrunner or firewater. If it fails, verify your adb and fastboot are good and device responds.

Thanks!

yes it is

Unless your bootloader is locked. Then you're mostly screwed for options
sent from my mobile device

im one of the few that actually have a real GPE. and as said with the replies above..if you already bootloader unlocked keep it that way and also s-off if you're going to tinker. i have been unlocked and soff since 4.3 and from reading all the stuff in here going to kitkat was a pita if you were s-off so very thankful i was.
so if you're going to tinker never relock or s-on your device ever again. it WILL be saving your phone. for the most part anything aosp will work given you have the right recovery .most roms need the latest twrp or cwm.

Relock bootloader and stock recovery?

How can i relock the bootloader (i am running stock rom now) and get the stock recovery back.
Im thinking about selling the atrix and i wouldnt like the buyer to see the 'unlocked' bootloader thing

Once unlocked, you cannot relock the bootloader.

I thought flashing back to stock ICS then taking the OTA would lock it?

Not sure if will lock it. But is a good idea as it will be the only solution

Unlocking the bootloader will blow the efuses in the phone. Once these efuses have been blown, it cannot be reversed.

Well i did it for the sakes of it just to learn before i read it. You can relock the bootloader yes. But the permanent battery will record it as relocked.
You can read about this new feature from motorola for rooting but same method for bootloader. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ndwich-builds-for-its-phones-purpose-unknown/
To relock it do it from fastboot and type "fastboot oem lock" should re-lock the bootloader.
