Is There a Way To Unlock Bootloader Using s-off? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My HTC One is actually an AT&T version and I successfully turned it into a Google Play edition with 4.4 Kit Kat. I now need to turn it back into the AT&T version but everything is failing and I relocked the bootloader and it will not unlock again even though the Unlock_code.bin says it was successful when ran. It never goes to the unlock bootloader splash screen on the phone to actually unlock it. Somehow it's a mess. I still have s-off. Is there a bootloader unlock via s-off? I'd like to flash the AT&T stock recovery and relock it and flash the AT&T 4.3 rom if possible. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

This procedure requires the phone to be rooted.
is there anyway to either:
a) Root the phone with a locked bootloader if you have s-off?
or
b) unlock the bootloader without using S-off without using HTCDev?
basically I dont want to loose all my settings and date and re-install everything.

I don't know about not losing anything but I did manage to get mine back to being at&t again thankfully. You definitely have to change the cid and I used the decrypted stock at&t rom from the htc1guru website. I'm pretty sure it's the same as the ruu.exe downloaded directly from HTC. My phone flushed the hboot and then flushed the rest of it in ruu mode. I still have s-off and I'm leaving my bootloader locked. I bet it will unlock now though.

you can use this to easily lock/unlock at any time using custom recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527194 (for TWRP need 2.6.3.3 or higher)

Thank you. I think it will go back to unlocking now that I'm back on an att rom. I don't like that Google edition 4.4 rom. It takes away beats audio even though it says it still has it.

Your going to have to S-OFF first... You need S-OFF first so that you can lock your boot loader again without it saying "relocked" and "tampered". I'd recommend Revone S-OFF since it does NOT install a custom boot loader and is very easy to use.

Flashing an OTA?

I have an HTC one running 4.3 google play I want it to be back to stock so I can sell it. It was originially running Bell mobility but I could not find an RUU for Bell but I found some OTA's for bell. how would I go about this, is it possible? Can I use another RUU and then flash the OTA for bell would that work?
If anyone has a bell RUU that would help alot thank you.

If you fully converted to GPe, then you have s-off. Change the CID and flash a WWE Developers Edition RUU.

You can't with s-on. Flash a backup of your carriers stock rom and a stock recovery. Your phone will still say Tampered and Relocked.

If you never S-off before then you haven't changed your CID. If that's the case then follow @Mike1986 guide to going back to stock. Use method 3.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618. Grab the CWM stock Nandroid for your device from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45187010&postcount=1. [deleted]
That should work as long as you haven't changed your CID before.
Correction: That nandroid should have the stock recovery in it, if it's not then you'll have to search for it and flash it via fastboot. My apologies.

Will following what you said make the root untraceable. Meaning the warranty will be unvoided?

No, because your bootloader will indicate "Re-locked" instead of "Locked". Also, your IMEI was registered in HTC's database when you unlocked the bootloader via htcdev website. Only way to cover some of your tracks is to S-off the device by Revone if possible and using their lock command. It involves some risk. Rooting the phone doesn't always void the warranty, many times they'll will honor it if it's a genuine hardware issue.

You don't flash a nandroid. You unzip it and use the restore function.

[Q] Sending device in for repair, what software precautions should I take?

I have one of the bad camera sensors, and rather than live with it I'm hoping HTC can fix it.
I unlocked the bootloader on my device, and I was wondering: would HTC refuse service for this? Also, should I go S-Off and remove the "tampered with" message?
Any advice would be appreciated!

Well crap. Thanks for the prompt response!
I assume that also means I should revert to the stock ROM. Or would the Google Play ROM be be OK?

ReLOCKED isn't really recommended
S-off is usually okay, but RELOCKED, hmmm.
Might wanna look at my guide.

Now I'm not sure what to do. I'm working on S-Off right now to remove the tampered. Aside from flashing a stock ROM (I'll assume for now Google Play edition is fine), is there anything else I should do?

Honestly, you should go completely stock (with the software that came with your phone, i.e dont leave it gpe if it was sense based etc). Look @nkk71's guide to going stock, all the info you need is there
You can leave it s-off if you please but i would definitely LOCK the bootloader instead of RELOCKING since ive heard/read a few cases where they didn't fix the device since it was re-locked making it void of its warranty. Now personally, i would even go as far as S-ON, just to be on the safe side. I can attest that ive s-offed with rumrunner, s-oned, and then s-offed again with rumrunner (on my device) and it worked so you can s-off again when you get the device back.
Then once you get the device back you don't have to start all the way from the beginning with htc-dev, just use the same unlock code you got the first time(if you don't have it saved you can check the email it was sent in), and then proceed from the last step that was flash it in adb to unlock your phone again
Yeah sorry I meant relock as in lock bootlosder so on top it says *LOCKED*

I have an friends HTC One which is LOCKED & S-off with Stock ROM running on it. I was wondering if there is any method to root this device without UNLOCKING the boot-loader.
Thanks in advance.

Yes. As you are S-OFF, you can flash a RUU based on 1.44 HBOOT, and use Revone to root/unlock bootloader without going with HTC Dev (assuming that is your goal) You will lose all data however.

Is there something I can do to correct this?

So I had in the beginning accidentally erased my OS yet had TWRP. Well it took awhile, but I figured it out and I fixed it. Well I had the One S-off, unlocked with TWRP recovery. Not sure what happened, but I ran an RUU and now I am without an OS, stock recovery, locked boot loader, S-on (not sure how that happened) and I have supercid so my unlock.bin won't work. If I do the whole HTC dev would I get a new unlock token with supercid?

I'm not sure about doing the htcdev unlock with supercid. But since you still have super cid, you can flash any RUU you want.

I thought that, but they all fail. I thought they fail because now I'm S-on again.

The only thing you can try is doing the htcdev unlock again. Really strange.

An RUU shouldn't fail with super cid. What's the error message?

I can't remember, 155 I think.. supercid didn't seem to do s.... when I was s-off. Anyways I fixed it. Had to go around the block, so to speak. Ran the newest RUU for AT&T (I have T-Mobile) then I got a new unlock token for the stuck supercid. From there I unlocked, installed TWRP, and root. Did s-off and then I flashed the developers RUU and all's well again.
