So I have a developer edition HTC One, and it comes bootloader unlocked. So I tried a few ROMs and decided to go back to stock and I needed to lock the bootloader to run RUU. So I did fastboot OEM lock, and now the bootloader says relocked. So I want to do the Google Edition Conversion and I have no idea on how to unlock a relocked bootloader. Reading that back to my self it sounds ridiculous but any help would be amazing. Thank you.
You would need to unlock it like if it was locked from HTC. Go to HTC dev's website and follow the process to get an unlock token. It gives step by step instructions.

I just S-OFF my Vivid which left me still rooted, but now locked. Do I need to unlock again at HTCDev? I want to be able to flash ROMs without having to worry about HBoot.

The original unlock code will still work. You shouldn't have to gi through the HTC Dev process again.

I don't have it. But I just read another post where the guy was in same situation as me and tried the HTCDev unlock routine and it didn't work.
I also read in another thread that if you do the jbear s-off, it will revert to locked, but since the phone is now s-off, it doesn't matter if the bootloader is locked (s-off supercedes locked, maybe?). So since I'm rooted and have a recovery, do I have to worry if I flash a custom ROM?
Edit: I was worrying over nothing. I was able to get a new unlock code from HTCDev, no problem. It worked fine on the custom bootloader. I forget that unlocking wipes everything, but as I was planning to flash the PAC rom, it didn't matter.
HTC Vivid (ICS)
Just as title says. I'm new to these unlock stuff and accidentally tried unlocking (did every steps to the end) a dev edition of HTC ONE (which I figured out later that it came bootloader unlocked).
So, is it any harm to the phone? Do I need to reverse the locking status? (e.g fastboot oem lock?)
Thanks in advance
No should be fine
I`am considering buying the One but have one question.: Am i correct to understand it is no longer needed to unlock the bootloader on the htc.dev site with a unlock key because there is a possibility to get S-off? And when relocking the bootloader (for what reason whatsoever) does the bootloader then say Relocked instead of Locked? Thanks for any usefull info
Currently using the Nexus 4.
No need to go to htcdev and it says locked indeed.
3 moths ago I have bought this device from the person, which said to me that the device is a Developer edition. The device had pure lolipop on it.
The device could be unlocked just using fastboot oem unlock. I have unlocked the bootloader, flashed couple of roms but I needed to get back to stock because I needed to send my phone to the waranty because of the camera isssue. So I have relocked bootloader and restored backup and send my phone for repair.
In the servis they have succesfully repaired my phone and send it back, but with HTC Sence kitkat rom on it. I have asked them why and they said that they had this phone in database as normal edition. I have tried again to unlock the bootloader using fastboot oem unlock but it was inpossible. I needed to get the token from the htc webside to succesfully unlock my device which I found really strange.
How it is possible that one time, device can be unlocked using fastboo oem unlock and second time not?
PS: It should be in QA thread, sorry ...

Only GPE variants of the M7 can be unlocked using "fastboot oem unlock" all other variants must use HTCDev.com. The stock developer edition have its bootloader factory unlocked.
Developer Edition M7 are also running Sense, the only variants not running sense is GPE.

Phone was probably a converted GPE edition. Then they have restored the original version on the phone, including the corresponding bootloader which can not be unlocked using "fastboot oem unlock"
First and foremost, My One M8 is S-On but so far I haven't had any problems with it. Had TWRP and Xposed installed before and did a Full RUU wipe and OTA'd to Marshmallow. As far as I am aware of there isn't a current root method yet? Did anyone successfully unlocked their bootloader? It seemed that Sprint or HTC removed "Enable OEM Unlock" in the developer section. When I tried to unlock the bootloader, my phone only boots to FASTBOOT USB. No more Unlock bootloader page with the Yes or No. Do I have to request a new Unlock_code.bin from HTC?
