Having a stock HTC one red (yes hboot 1.54!!!) , will i be missing the Stock apps (calculator , flashlight etc) if i do a Hard Reset from the phone?
Is it the same problem with those guys Unlocking the bootloader using HTCdev?
Have anyone done that before?
my mum using it would have **** up the phone if she accidentally uninstalled.
I unlocked my phone from htcdev. You don't lose any system apps. All that happens is that your boot loader gets unlocked and obviously you lose your user apps.

Hey guys long time to talk (long time since I have had internet)
So here is the situation, two weeks ago I bought the HTC Desire C and I rooted it, and of course unlocked my bootloader.
Problem is, I want to return this phone and exchange it for the LG Optimus Regard
Can anyone tell me the steps I need to take so the store reps wont know I fiddled with my device? (I read somewhere that they can tell how many times you flashed it, so I need to reset said counter if it exists) I really want to do this tonight.
Thanks,
Tlasch
You should be able to do a full unroot from the options in supersu also you can relock the bootloader but it will say relocked not locked like it used to and there's nothing you can do about that. But its unlikely they'd check that before they take it back anyway.

Well in superuser, I have no options, will this RUU undo the root for me?
It says its the Europe version, will that mess my phone up? (NVM it doesnt look like it will work, it keeps telling me my battery is less than 30% which is not true)

Yes flashing a ruu will unroot your phone but you need to make sure its the right when for where you live so if you dont live in Europe don't flash a Europe one also I think you need to relock the bootloader before flashing a ruu.

run update in your htc software and
click on repair
done
I am on stock just unlocked bootloader and rooted.Will simply relocking bootloader and unrooting help to get updates?or I need to reflash stock Rom?
I am not sure about this, but the only reason you can't do OTA's with the bootloader unlocked is because the unlocking procedure deletes some of the built-in apps in HTC Sense. The phone will check for these apps when it tries to update and fail if they are not present. There is a thread somewhere in XDA which tries to solve this issue of apps being deleted when unlocking the bootloader.
You have to flash stock Rom, stock recovery, then relock to receive OTAs. At least that has been the case in all other HTC phones. The HTC one might be different since a couple of apps that come with the phone are not in the system partition and get wiped when you unlock the bootloader.

OT: The removed apps can be reinstalled here.

Well I havent flashed any other Rom. Just wondering if after unlocking bootloader some apps disappear, does that mean I need to reflash stock Rom. Don't think that simply relocking bootloader will bring them apps back. Hope someone can confirm that
When you unlock the data partition is wiped. Some of the apps that the ota looks for are in that partition. So you either have to flash a stock Rom or restore those missing apps before you relock.

Granted, I'm basing this on the HTC Droid Incredible, nearly a three year old phone, but with us you just have to have the standard HTC apps that it checks for, and the stock recovery to flash it. You could keep the bootloader unlocked, since the unlocked bootloader can take the same commands as the locked one, it just doesn't check for signatures. Again, this is based on a different device, so it may or may not work.
I bought a used phone. After booting in bootloader, it reads tempered and relocked.
Then i selected the option "recovery"... It showed some stock recovery type animation for a few seconds.... And when the phone booted, the phone was like factory reset.... Not even the sd card files were there... Completely wiped.
Is it normal?
Also how to check if it is rooted or not? And steps more needed to flash custom recovery?

Well that just means that they unlocked the bootloader and then relocked it again

Well, it sounds like the person relocked the phone and wiped all of their data before he sold it. What you describe sounds normal. You could download root checker to see if it's still rooted, but I highly doubt it is. Search these forums for instructions on unlocking and rerooting.

Hey all. First of all i would like to congratulate all the members who own this ultimate device.. i am loving this phone upto now. But sometimes an idea just stucks on my mind to root this phone also as i did with my samsung galaxy note 2. But i am new to HTC and dunn know basics about this phone. I hv searched alot of topics and spend my time in understanding the rooting procedure. Wht i understood is i have to unlock my bootloader and turn s-off. After that i can flash cwm or twrp and start using custom roms
Now what i want to know is if i unlock my bootloader using htcdev.com then would this void tbe warranty fully?
Can i relock the bootloader and make it as it is now.
In samsung we can do this by using traingle away application but im not aware of htc as this is my first device..
Sorry for the noob questions.thanx in advance.

Unlocking your bootloader through HTCDEV will always carry the risk of HTC rejecting your warranty claim. Relocking the bootloader will change the lock status to RE-LOCKED instead of LOCKED (like stock).
With S-Off, you can bypass HTCDEV and unlock the bootloader. You can also change the status to LOCKED. Sequence of events would then be S-Off --> Unlock bootloader --> Flash a custom recovery --> Nandroid your stock ROM just in case --> Do whatever you want

Hi
greetings,
firstly welcome to HTC group.
the process of samsung and htc is different and rooting htc is a bit tough ( do not worry)
Unlocking bootloader from htcdev voids warranty completely
after unlocking booloader your bootloader says UNLOCKED and this is how HTC comes to know weather we have played with the phone or not
and after unlocking bootloader you can flash custom roms you do not have to be S-OFF.
now S-OFF means security off it gives us full access to the system which we do not achieve by unlocking bootloader.
so basically doing S-OFF you get access to all the system files of the phone including radio and all other stuff
and if you successfully achieve S-OFF( not a tough job) then you can get your warranty back by making our bootloader say LOCKED instead of UNLOCKED or RELOCKED
Thats it by this way you can have your warranty back
ENJOY FLASHING
DO NOT USE KYIES OVER HERE
So when i achieve s-off, my device will be unlocked or locked? Bcoz it bypass the htcdev process...
If it will be unlocked is there any way to make it locked bro?

yes you can relock. but with s-off it will say locked instead of relocked

HI
greetings,
if you do S-OFF first then your bootloader will say LOCKED
and you will have to patch the bootloader and then you can access the fastboot commands to flash recovery and install custom ROM.
and after S-OFF and unlocking bootloader you can make it LOCKED again
HTC generally don't mind if you unlock, I had to send mine back to the official HTC repair centre in England after a bad flash and I got a brand new SIM free phone back., no questions asked.

That's interesting, I have just sent my HTC one to HTC repair centre in England too after a bad flash, I was stuck in constant bootloop on start up screen, bootloader and recovery.
How long did it take from sending to receiving back.

Took a month but that's only because I stupidly sent it via the shop where I bought it who then sent it to their repairs centre in Dublin who eventually decided they couldn't fix it and then sent it to HTC in England so the whole process took a month, moral of the story is, if you bork your phone assuming it's under warranty send it to HTC direct, much quicker.
Good luck

Basically i flashed a boot animation and i stupidly never had a nandroid backup so got constant boootloops, i foolishly not just done a factory reset but formatted system basically I panicked , wiped absolutely everything, spend days trying to sideload a ROM via command prompts but no matter what I done i couldn't get it sorted so sent it off, now I'm ultra careful and always ensure I have a nandroid backup.

I tried rooting my HTC one with qbking77 video tutorial. Unlocked the bootloader but couldn't root upon many unsuccessful attempts. Eventually relocked the bootloader.now my phone is given me tampered and relocked and security warning. I can't even turn off the phone. Anytime I try to turn it off it goes to fastboot mode. Is there anyway I can have stock android back on my phone and get ota. My network is three in the UK

This thread. This topic. I'm not filled with hope.
What do you mean, "Anytime I try to turn it off it goes to fastboot mode"? Did you flash recovery.img? How did you mess up unlocking the bootloader it couldn't be easier.
Unlocked boot loader all right. It was the rooting which was the problem. I tried and tried and when I couldn't do it. I relocked the bootloader. The phon is working alright but sometimes when I want to turn the phone off especially when I am in meetings it just won't go off. It goes to fastboot mode
