Depends on which method you choose. If you choose to downgrade the HBOOT so that you can run Revolutionary and get true S-OFF, then it is fairly easy.
If you simply unlock HBOOT 2.00 and install a custom recovery and superuser app to root it, then you simply need to boot into fastboot mode and type:
fastboot oem lock
and then reinstall the original RUU.

Search the forum. This is already a thread that discusses and documents the procedure to return to S-ON from AlphaRev/Revolutionary S-OFF.
How do HTC know if you unlock on hboot 2.00? Is it the serial that you have to give them?

Yep, you have to input unique data generated by your phone during the unlock process. This data is encrypted, but you can bet that HTC knows exactly which phones have been unlocked.
flash eng spl and then use ruu it can back to s-on

relock
but if you want it to show locked get s-off again, I suggest revone, and use the revone -l command to make it show locked ( that's a lowercase L)
after that if you want to S-off again do that and flash the RUU
I assume you're doing a warranty return.

returning to stock

Hi guys,
Running the latest cm10.2 nightly, unlocked bootloader, hboot 1.54, s-on.
Can I return to stock? So far all I see is that i need s-off to return to stock, but hboot 1.54 does not allow s-off? or am i confused?
stock would need to be O2-UK

This is likely to be the only method I can use, but how do i check if i'm a .401 device? The link for more info doesnt work...

to be able to remove tampered flag you'd need s-off, but since you0re on hboot 1.54 you can't achieve s-off atm...

You can never remove it completely, but with s-off you could "lock" it again.. "relocked" is always possible (command: fastboot oem lock).

Getting Bootloader to LOCKED from RELOCKED S-ON HTC ONE M7

Hello,
I have just managed to unroot my htc one m7 successfully after a lot of difficulty.
However, the bootloader still shows "RELOCKED" although TAMPERED is gone but I would like it to show "LOCKED" as it was before I had rooted it for the first time. Is it possible to get it back to show LOCKED while you are S-ON?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

No
Only possible with S-OFF.

How about if you unlock the bootloader to go S-OFF in order to get it locked and then lock the bootloader again to show S-ON?
Is this possible.
Also, even if it remains relocked, does this void warranty at all? Or does it still get recognized as never been rooted.

Yes, you'll need to unlock the bootloader, achieve s-off, set back the bootloader to locked and remove the tampered flag, flash a RUU and then turn back s-on.

Relocked means your bootloader was unlocked and locked back. Unlocking the bootloader might void your warranty light explained on htcdev.com/bootloader.

Only a phone showing S-ON and ***LOCKED*** (and without ***tampered*** or ***security warning*** flags showing) is under warranty. And even if your phone only shows S-ON and LOCKED like if it was never unlocked, they (HTC) can still look for your IMEI# in their database and know if you already requested an Unlock_code.bin file from htcdev.com to unlock your bootloader (not a problem if you are dealing with your carrier but might be a problem if dealing directly with HTC).

That is what I did, when going from root to unroot I had to first lock the bootloader and when I did so, the S-OFF went to S-ON by itself, so its not like I had to do something specific in order to achieve S-ON, similarly when you unlock the bootloader S-OFF comes by itself. Suppose I just unlocked and it is S-OFF, what fastboot commands will I need to input to lock it while S-OFF remains unchanged and does not go S-ON after locking?
When I locked the bootloader, tampered flag went away by itself too...
I want to lock it ensuring its S-OFF so that it shows locked rather than relocked. What commands will I need to achieve this output?

There is no possible way that happened. When you unlock your bootloader, you don't automaticaly get s-off, and only way to get back to s-on from s-off is with "fastboot oem write secureflag 3" command. You got something very wrong there my friend

with s-off it will be very easy to remove tampered and locked your device by using Guru reset tool , it has aroma ..

I return back to full stock with no tampered and locked status for at least 3 m7 phones.

^^This
Unlocking the bootloader doesn't set it S-OFF and re-locking it doesn't set it S-ON neither. Its 2 completely different things.
