[Q] - Need immediate help on removing "TAMPERED" and "RELOCKED" text on boot

[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?

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.

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??

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

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.

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.

Stuck with error code -6 revone s-off problem

I made s off before using the revone method. I wanted to turn back to stock(I decided to sell the phone at that time) and again I used the revone to remove tampered sign and get my hboot locked.
I am currently using my phone but no matter how much I tried I am stuck with error code -6 as a result cannot s-off again. Is there a solution for this? I tried on stock, stock rooted, custom roms and different kernels. I also tried the moonshine with stock rom but no luck again. If there is any one could solve this please help.

I may be wrong, but if you've already s off'd, I don't believe you need to do that step. Try skipping on to:
5. Now that revone has successfully prepared your device for S-OFF please open another adb shell (as per step 2) and change to
the /data/local/tmp directory.
6. Instruct revone to grant you S-OFF and unlock status by running the command: ./revone -s 0 -u
6a. Other optional command arguments:-
* -u - Unlock the device
* -l - Lock the device (as if it was never unlocked)
* -r - Relock the device (mark the device as relocked)
* -t - Reset the device's tamper flag.
7. Presuming revone reported success please reboot the device again, this time to the bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)
8. You should now observe your device is S-OFF (and the lock status changed if you invoked that option).
9. (optional) Re-run revone to remove TAMPERED from your HBOOT screen: ./revone -t

similar problem
I'm also stuck with "error code = -6" following the ./revone -P step, but since buying the phone from new I've never had it s-off. I've followed every step to a T with absolutely no luck... not sure if there's any binary/kernal stuff that's stopping me getting s-off access...I don't know enough about all that yet.
Anyway if anyone has any advice or has found a way round this issue it'd be awesome to hear from you.

If the phone is new, there is no s-off exploit for it. Previous exploits have been patched. There might be hope if you have a US phone as there is a way to revert to earlier firmware provided you're still on hboot 1.44.

Yes it does, and if you took that update, even with hboot 1.44, the exploit has been patched and you have to wait until the revone team finds a new method.

1. Check that you have hboot 1.44
2. You can try 'Android Terminal Emulator' from PlayStore. and run the same commands there. you need to have the file on the root of your device.

[Q] Re-locked, s-on, Security Warning, and cannot boot into Recovery. My options?

Hi guys.
First time posting, but have used the site extensively over the past 6-8 months. I have an AT&T HTC One. I had unlocked it, s-off, rooted, installed GPe, and decided to go back. The ROM I went back to was supposed to be MY stock ROM, but it turns out it was unbranded 4.2.2. I thought nothing of it, and as of yesterday, had sold my phone on ebay. I decided to wipe my phone to get ready to ship. I locked my bootloader and went to s-on, but when I went to factory reset, I got a "security warning" and it won't reboot into recovery. I've tried everything- tried to re-unlock it with htcdev, which freezes at the bootloader. I've tried to unlock via revone, since I still have root (root checker verified this to be the case), but get the -6 error when using terminal emulator in ROM Toolbox, and get the same error when doing it via adb commands. I've tried probably 50 different things about 10 different times, and am about to pull my hair out! I've read and searched probably hundreds of threads over the past 24 hours. Trying to flash stock RUU (the exe) just freezes as well. Any help would be appreciated! Let me know what info you need from me.
Android 4.2.2
Hboot 1.44
Software number 2.24.401.8

I have (almost) the same problem as OP: bootloader (HBOOT 1.44) shows "locked", "tampered" and "S-ON". The radio is apparently broken and I want a new unit, so I installed mike1986's "stock 4.2.2" ROM, because htc1guru.com is broken and androidruu.com apparently has corrupt RUU downloads (every RUU I've tried fails miserably, and extracted rom.zips don't work either). It's rooted, with SuperSU. I relocked and S-ONed the bootloader with revone, but then found a stock backup and tried to unlock/S-OFF so I could install TWRP back.
Unfortunately for me (and OP), revone -P fails with error -6. revone -s 0 -u fails with error -1. revone -t reports success, but the tampered flag remains there. Trying to flash TWRP with a market app freezes Android. Trying to unlock the bootloader with HTCDev reports success in fastboot, but the unlock prompt never shows up, and the bootloader freezes.
Read again: revone fails. That guide, as well as the other 4 or so similar ones floating around, are useless in this case.
If anyone has any ideas (or an HTC EastEurope RUU download that doesn't fail), I'm open to hearing them.

What's the date of your hboot? If it's after May 2013, it might be a patched version (applies to AT&T and T-Mobile), otherwise revone will work.
Read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2431515 for the prerequisites to get S-Off.
Try that, and report back and we'll go from there.
PS: keep S-Off, no need to ever to back S-On even for repair because some devices are shipped S-Off. The repair center can't prove you've done anything to your phone, unless they see "LOCKED / RELOCKED / TAMPERED"

Bootloader date is May 3, 2013. It's a downloaded "stock unmodified" 1.44 HBOOT. I'm not in the US.
On the other hand, I'm on a 4.2.2 ROM right now. Should I try to downgrade? If yes, can anyone point me in the direction of an HTC RUU that actually works? (CID is HTC__032)

May 3 is good, revone should work. If it's not working on your ROM now, try downgrading to a 4.1.2 ROM to try to make it work.

I downloaded a 1.20.401 RUU (should be 4.1.2, probably), and I am on mike1986's odexed ROM right now. I'd downgrade, but how? I can't install a custom recovery.
Edit: RUU exited with a "bootloader version error". Could I have downloaded a corrupt HBOOT or something? revone gave success messages about five times now, but the bootloader still says "LOCKED" and "S-ON".

Hi Andy,
I just re-read your original post, and am getting a bit confused cause you said "bootloader (HBOOT 1.44) shows "locked", "tampered" and "S-ON"." you mean RELOCKED?
Probably best if you post your "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and serial number) , full details of the ROM you're using, and a screenshot of your bootloader.
As for "HTCDev reports success in fastboot, but the unlock prompt never shows up", maybe you should try the process from the beginning again and get a new unlocktocken.

I did mean "locked". I used revone -l to restore the lock status. On the other hand, now I accidentally installed HBOOT 1.54 instead (figured the bootloader may be broken and installed a 2.24 firmware package). I tried HTCDev Unlock twice (the whole process), and it... still doesn't work. To be more specific, fastboot flash unlocktoken reports success, but the next fastboot command, whatever that may be (getvar, reboot, etc), errors out with something to the effect of "could not load custom splash". Trying to flash any sort of different HBOOT (older/newer) complains about signatures, or maybe that's just my downloads.
Of course, revone doesn't work with 1.54, so I'm pretty much ****ed. Might as well take the damn thing back to Orange.

Sometimes a factory reset can help with the unlock token, but since you're on 1.54 now it would make little difference.
Sorry & good luck

Yep. I'm in exactly the same boat. Actually, I am on 1.44 HBOOT, dated May 3rd, and none of the available options worked. And yes, I've tried the links included in subsequent posts. And I'm "locked" via same way as above. Since I was selling the phone and trying to revert to stock, my only option was to manually erase everything and send it off. I couldn't do a factory reset, because it just kicked me to bootloader with a "security warning" error. Couldn't install older RUU, as it would just hang at the HTC black screen with no green progress bar.

Bootloader date is May 3, 2013. It's a downloaded "stock unmodified" 1.44 HBOOT. I'm not in the US.
On the other hand, I'm on a 4.2.2 ROM right now. Should I try to downgrade? If yes, can anyone point me in the direction of an HTC RUU that actually works? (CID is HTC__032)

Same problem
Hey guys, I have a same problem, and I'm pissed off and depressed :crying:
I tried GPE, but then I wanted to go back to Sense, and then everything went wrong. I have HBOOT 1.54, S-ON, RELOCKED, TAMPERED. I can't unlock the bootloader, although cmd writes that writing was successful, and the phone still says "RELOCKED". I can't get to system and recovery because always get into bootloader with the message "Security Warning". I can't upload any RUU, recovery, nothing ... always cmd writes "failed", in case RUU (1.28.401.7 - my regional which should work) writes "Error 155".
Please guys, help me. I do not know what to do and I'm clueless.

Unlocking relocked bootloader fails

I had my bootloader unlocked, device was s-off, and super cid, then decided to sell my HTC one so I went back to s-on, restored my Telus Nandroid ( no RUU for Telus), relocked bootloader and then try to update it, it was then stuck so I pushed on power, went a little bit further, then stucked, power off and it completed. Now I decided to keep the device so I tried unlocking it again with HTC DEV, after flashing the unlock_code.bin it says it's successful but nothing happens on the phone. Any idea how to fix that?
Thanks

Anyone? I just can't think of anything else

Have you tried to push the file another one time?
However, now you're with 1.54 hboot or 1.44?

Use the revone file and go s-off, after do all you need and stay with s-off also if you will sell it

I tried to go s-off a few times but it always failed with error -6. I remember when I went s-off (when I got the device) I had to do like 15 times before it finally works, I guess I'll need to keep on trying. Thanks for the help

Sounds like you're on 1.54, double check!
If you are still on 1.44 use a Rom based on 4.1.2 for biggest chance of success.

Nope, I'm really on 1.44, I checked a few times. And I also have a 4.1.2 rom. Thanks for your help.

[Q] I screwed up, Started S-Off, S-ON'd for a warranty repair, now I cant go back.

It's really all in the title. I originally went S-OFF with rumrunner, set back to S-ON with the HTC1Guru guide for a charge port warranty repair, now I can't get back to S-Off
Running a rooted stock sense 5.5 android 4.3 WWE ROM, from HTC1Guru, unlocked bootloader, HBOOT 1.56. Tried Rumrunner, moonshiner, revone, firewater, all failed! Is there any way to get me back to S-Off?
It's an unlocked One BTW.
Another weird thing is that in HBOOT, my OS line shows up blank, no numbers.

OS line showing up blank isn't quite an issue. However, 1.56 S-OFF is luck. Some succeed, some don't.
If it cant be S-OFF'ed on ARHD 31.6, im afraid you may have to wait a little longer for a solid exploit.

you can send your phone to fonefunshop.com and they will s-off it using a java card.
