Maybe icycoffee is the tool it was s-offed with, so I wouldn't try to relock the bootloader

If you want to flash custom ROMs etc. you can start right away, your phone is S-OFF so there is no need to unlock the bootloader.
Just flash a custom recovery and it should be fine

No, you would only need this to fake your Bootloader version(or whatever) but since you are S-OFF there's no need for that
Just go to number 4. where it says "Flash a recovery" then 5. and after that number 10. That should be all

Ohh I realize just now that I already have Superuser on my phone, and I checked my phone if its rooted using root checker basic and its rooted.http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz97/arrancar27/IMG_2380.jpgThen all I need to do is no.4 and 10 right?

It used to be that you had to unlock in order to root etc.
But now with one click root applications like SuperOneClick etc, is there any reason to unlock the bootloader? Is it required for any custom ROM procedures?

Not really (although it does make things easier to flash - using fastboot is very convenient.)
But then again, is there any reason to not unlock it? It has been shown numerous times that HTC will honor the warranty despite an unlocked bootloader, while it has never been shown that HTC has refused warranty service because of an unlocked bootloader.

Ah, so the only thing unlocking does is provide access to using "fastboot"?
I know; I warranty swapped mine that was bootloader unlocked I'm just asking for general information.

Yes, unlocking your bootloader = the ability to flash images to your Nexus One using fastboot. That's it.
What if I am not planning on using a new rom? I want to stay on stock, but say, just want to overclock. I don't want to lose any data.
Would that make sense to just root?

I think you can just root then via SuperOneClick.
I have another question about unlocked bootloader. How can I tell if my bootloader its unlocked? I know usually I have to flash slp to unlock it or set S-off and if I'm not sure it should still be locked, but when I flashed modaco rom it said something about unlocking bootloader. I didn't want to but couldn't abort! So when I boot into bootloader it doesn't say unlocked but any way to tell beside that?

You'd see a padlock icon at the bottom of the 'X' screen as you boot up if you are unlocked.

You should be able to run a RUU, but I would unlock the bootloader, then flash TWRP, then a Rom. If you can reach fastboot then you shouldn't be worried.
I dont even think you can run custom recoveries without an unlocked bootloader.

you have to be relocked to run RUUs, so your on the right track. Josh has a good video that explains how to do it. whats IRC?

since your phone is "relocked" im assuming that you have unlocked it before. Just unlock it like the first time.

Flash it back to stock using a sprint RUU (Rom Update Utility) . search the sprint HTC one forum for it download it to your computer and run the application (RUU) from your computer with your phone in bootloader mode with fastboot selected (highlighted) connected with the use cable. It will take approximately 10 minutes to flash. Thus will restore your phone to stock (factory). Make sure it's a Sprint stock rom for the HTC one. After it's back to stock. Unlock it.. Install TWRP RECOVERY. Download and copy the custom rom of your choice ( suggestion: VIPER ONE 1.1.0) to phone storage using the usb. Disconnect phone from computer and boot into bootloader and select recovery and wipe data.. Both caches and system then go to install and flash rom. Also make sure you flash superuser too before flashing the custom rom. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need help getting your phone functional.

I'm contemplating unlocking my bootloader via HTC Dev Unlock and flashing a custom ROM. However, I'm wondering how I would go about updating my radios after doing this since my understanding of HTC Dev Unlock doesn't include the ability to flash radios.
Is there any way to do it other than backing up and flashing back to stock to accept the OTA?
Thanks!
You can just go s-off and flash a radio.

I understand that, but if I don't want to go S-Off (i.e. follow the rules), how does it work?
There is a program that I heard flashes radios called Flash Image GUI.
I have never tried it for radios because I always go s-off.
Maybe someone else can help you better.
I know it does flash kernels when you are s-on. I used to use it all the time on the LTE before they found an s-off fix.

Right, which HTC does not facilitate, so what's the point of allowing a bootloader unlock that makes your phone non-updateable?

Then what's the confusion? They facilitate unlocking the bootloader via their own tools, but doing so renders the device un-updateable without breaking their own rules and hacking the device to gain S-Off.
And that, I find quite stupid.

just unlock and get s-off, you'll like it, read up on it in the forums, no big deal, have a good day.
I'm officially unlocked, rooted and s-offed. Now the question becomes GPe or CM 10.2....
I've locked and removed the bootloader, but the S-Off is still there? does that mean my handset is void?

In theory NO because some devices are accidentally(?) shipped S-OFF from HTC. And some other receives them S-OFF when back from repair.

i have a doubt.... my device is locked, stock recovery, s-off, no tampered written and everything is perfectly stock... only issue i am having is that in says "This is a test device. Accordingly, to collect critical information about the device, Tell HTC is enabled and cannot be turned off regardless of device settings" ... so will this be a reason for a void warranty?

I it possible to lock the bootloader again after unlocking it and go back to stock, in case you need warranty service?
There is a date in the last row of your bootloader, be carefull it displays the day of your software modification...
