S-off the phone
then you can remove tampered and relocked as well.
Do you have to flash hboot before you s on?

No. Check out the revone thread in original development. Seems to be the easier of the two s-off methods.

So I've installed stock Rom and stock recovery and relocked the bootloader but when I start the phone up it still says development Rom and in fastboot it says tampered. Somethings not right.
Any ideas?

From my understanding it will say Tampered in the bootloader when it is unlocked. If you relock it the bootloader it will say relocked. This is there for HTC to know if the phone was unlocked for warranty stuff. It may also say Tampered because it isn't 100% stock yet. Once you unlock the phone there is no way right now to get back to 100% locked. This will not happen until we get S-Off.
I was just wondering, I have the HTC ONE/ M7 and I was trying to root it but was never successful. I unlocked it with the HTCDev website and installed GOO on my phone but thats about as far as I got. Now my phone shows **TAMPERED** and **UNLOCKED** in the HBOOT menu, I was just curious as to how I would get those to go away.
THANKS!
I believe you have to wait for s-off so you can downgrade hboot to remove that message.
Flashing back the stock firmware (RUU) will remove the tampered but it will always say relocked if you locked the bootloader again.
What does S-off mean? Sorry I'm really new to this, I know it's probably a dumb question. Is going back to the factory firmware a long process?

Tampered can be removed when you flash the official RUU.
Relocked cant be as of now. And I have no hopes for it to happen in device's life cycle as well.
So how would I flash it? Is there a general way or is it device specific?

Take a look through this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
When you rooted your phone it added tampered and unlocked in bootloader menu.
If you want to take them out you will have to unroot your phone or wait for s-off (it will fully unlock the phone)
I didn't have the tampered message on my rooted OneX,it must be something new as well as the red warning in booting the phone that it's a dev phone that must not be sold
There is a thread with RUU archive for each device. Check for specific RUU for your specific carrier make or model.
But if you install RUU you will have phone that is as good as stock phone. You will lose root and will have to re-root it.
Dont bother with it unless you have to go back to factory condition.
There are also zipped versions of stock ROMs available so you can try those if you have CWM or TWRP installed successfully.
You dont really need to remove that tampered / unlocked status. It does not hinder your phone in any way. You have already lost your warranty and even if you relock your bootloader and remove Tampered message by flashing factory RUU, your phone will still show RELOCKED message. So point going back unless as I said you must have factory condition phone.
Hi~!
So does this mean the factory will always know that our phones are rooted with S ON?

Yes HTC will know for sure the phone has been tampered with and unless s-off is achieved for the masses which does not involve taking the phone apart then it will always say tampered, unlocked, relocked.
Oh, okay, thank you, my phone has vibrating problems, with the intensity, in some hits, the vibrating just keeps going slowly fading in. I read somewhere that 1.29 fixes this but its isnt out around my region yet and I dont want to flash this 1.29 stock rom to find out its a hardware issue and lose my warranty

Security-Off if what it officially means. Means you can write to the bootloader and mod things
I am sending my HTC One back for repairs for a blown speaker, they say that they cant do it if it is unlocked, or if there is a custom setup. I flashed a rogers nandroid backup, but now I have 3 issues. It says tampered, relocked (which i did) and when you try to go into recovery it boots into fastboot.
I would like it to appear fully stock, but if that isnt possible is it possible to get the recovery back working so that when they inevitably try to do a factory reset, they will have the normal recovery?

Well to get rid of the tampered issue you will need to S-OFF your device.
S-off device with revone
Flash stock nandroid
Flash stock recovery
Remove tampered sign with s-off command
Lock bootloader with s-off command
Set s-on
Remove revone bin file from device.
Remember s-off isnt as easy as you think. It's gonna take a couple tries.

EDIT: I got it, now just need to figure out how to load nandroid backup without putting CWM on..

Is there a location with the stock recovery for the rogers one?
Also is there a guide anywhere with the s-off commands?

There is one nandroid dump for a Rogers device in the nandroid collection. As for achieving s-off I suggest the revone thread.

Also, I believe any stock recovery should be sufficient, but maybe someone will chime in on this matter.

since you are s-off just download a ruu and flash it s-off allows you to run any ruu

So before I could get to s-off my phone or flash a custom ROM I figurrd the vibration on my brand new ONE does not work. I did get to unlock bootloader flash twrp and root, now I need to return to %100 stock to return my phone. I flashed back to stock recovery but I still have 'tampered' 'unlocked' bootloader. Can I relock and remove tampered without being s-off? Also if I take latest OTA will that relock me?

You can relock, but it will say "RELOCKED" on the boot screen unless you are s-off.
OTA will not relock. It may not even run being unlocked.
Root, soff, then lock the bootloader using adb commands and Unroot.

There are a couple of tutorials about going back to 100% stock in the General forum. It depends a great deal on what order you do things.
I can't say what Best Buy does with returned phones. All I know is that AT&T never seems to care.
