Well as the title states, I went to flash twrp this morning and I did not know my bootloader was locked.
I do have s off but I'm on the new hboot.
So I feel like it will wipe my device correct?
Yes, coming from someone who experienced it before, such unpleasant experience it was. Everytime you unlock, it wipes your phone completely.

indeed
re unlocking will definitely erase all your contents
but i thought if you're s-off then you don't have to unlock your boot loader?
If you're s-off already, you can use revone to unlock bootloader without it wiping your phone. If it doesn't work with your current bootloader, you can flash a 1.54 hboot or below.

Do you have a custom Rom or recovery installed? Do you have locked/unlocked/relocked/security warning in bootloader? What version ruu did you install and did you see any error message?

Trying to relock bootloader so I can run the RUU and return to stock. Something went wrong when I flashed a ROM and now get nothing but bootloops. Tried running the fastboot oem lock command in the folder with the unlock code from htcdev, but it says it's already locked. Hboot still says juopunutbear where it should say re-locked. What should I do?

Could the stock HBOOT img be extracted from the RUU when its running/idle (just like the other partitions?)
And then flashed via Fastboot?

I thought once s-off you could just "fastboot oem unlock". But I may have seen that on the GE conversion thread, in which s-off wouldn't matter cause you can just do that anyway...

Hi guys,
just one quick question. I have my phone stuck in S-ON after upgrading into new firmware (HBOOT 1.54). It is clear that revone (the one I used to S-OFF the first time) is currently unable to S-OFF my phone right now. Therefore now I'm considering S-OFF through HTC Dev. Will HTC Dev S-OFF work with 1.54 HBOOT?
Another question would be, apart from getting wiped and lose some application, what disadvantage will S-OFF through HTC Dev brings?
Thanks for the help
you can unlock the bootloader and install custom roms/kernels but no s-off, which might be a problem if you need to send your phone to warranty because they could deny warranty on the re/unlocked status of the bootloader.

Why did you s-on in the first place? You can't s-off, you're stuck for now. HTC Dev can only unlock your bootloader.

I didn't S-ON it on purpose. It went S-ON automatically after firmware update and few resets. I have no slightest idea why it went S-ON. So... it seems I'm doomed for now...

With the HTC ONE toolkit you can unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery.
Very easy. I'm in the same situation at this moment. hboot 1.54.
I also got a question about this.
When I'm in the toolkit and I want to use the mainver error fix I always get Device not Found. Is this also because i'm on hboot 1.54 or maybe not a correct setting somwhere (adb?).

But through the toolkit, the unlocking process will use the HTC Dev method which erases the phone's internal memory and some part which contains some apps right? Any other cons which shouldn't I unlock through HTC Dev?

Go there, register an account
http://www.htcdev.com/
after that click on the "developer center" button and right in the middle you will find a "unlock bootloader" button
click on it, follow instructions, but make sure you have a full backup of your storage cause it will be erased
S-OFF is a security flag that gives you permission to "play" with organic partitions of the devices system in a way
you don't need it for having custom recovery, after you unlock you can flash a recovery the exact same way you did with S-OFF or restore a backup you did before reverting to complete stock
S-OFF for most users is only a solution to not losing warranty after unlocking as unlocking actually voids your software warranty and in a way the hardware warranty as HTC can claim that the unofficial software you used actually damaged the device.
If I helped to make you understand in any way I am glad but please if you don't understand what these procedures do or how they work in a general sense it's better not to use/perform them, if you are in any way like me who spent the better part of a salary to buy this phone it would be a shame wasting all that money bricking it out of ignorance, if not, it's still a shame.

Yea it wipes everything so I suggest you back up anything important to you before you unlock... And there aren't any other cons except the fact that it will wipe EVERYTHING (apps, contacts synced with phone, music, pictures, etc.), thats the only con to it

I think there is some confusion here for the OP.
First, S-off and unlocking your bootloader are 2 completely different things. To install custom recoveries, and therefore custom Roms and kernels, you need an unlocked bootloader (I am not sue what all the talk of relocking was about). The only way for you to unlock at this point is with HTCdev, and this will wipe your device unfortunately. Their are guides to unlocking and rooting your phone in this very forum

Hi i have just unlocked the bootloader for the One. I know it deleted a partition which stops updates from happening. I cannot find a Nandroid for my software number which is 3.62.401.1. Is there an easy way to restore this without relocking the bootloader or losing root? Or are we stuck with this?
I have just come from a One X and nothing like this has happened so there are a few different parts to the One than the One x.
Thanks

Nope, if you have the 1.54/1.55 hboot you need an unlocked bootloader for achieve the s-off.
However, your problem is simple to resolve.
You've to flash the stock recovery, the same of your version-main (for check this: fastboot getvar version-main), do a factory reset from bootloader, re-flash a twrp/cwm and you can see and use your data partition.

I have done this with an unlocked bootloader, is this fine? There is no flashlight app in the app draw so i guess it won't receive OTA's?

You lost the app so.
You need to found a backup of your rom or that apps.

Looked around cannot find the latest APK's to allow OTA, Nandroids don't seem to have that partition, plus no RUU for this model yet. Why would htc do this? They allow us to unlock it but basically try and block OTA's.
