[Q] Easiest way to ready phone for HTC Warranty - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I have the purple tint. I am wondering what the easiest way to remove the TAMPERED and RELOCKED flags from fastboot is. I am currently not rooted, am on stock recovery and ROM, as well as S-ON. Any way to help me would be much appreciated.

Use firewater to S-OFF, if you can't then look at another guide (I think there's one in the general section).

If you're wondering how to go from S-OFF to S-ON, do this in fastboot:

Why dont u try Revolutionary S-off to properly lock your handset and also remove the relocked flag. I hope this might help. And are you still on stock rom ?
Re-Unlock your bootloader, security warning is a warning for say you that you aren't in stock rom.
You can relock your bootloader only if you're are stock...
Use revolutionary soff to set the bootloader as locked and remove the tampered flag.

If you are S-Off it should not matter if your bootloader is locked or not. In fact your bootloader should stay unlocked. That's the whole point of being S_Off!
As long as you have a compatible (correct model ID) RUU installed and CID 11111111, you should be able to fastboot oem flash any RUU or OTA (that is correct for your base rom).
Otherwise S-Off is not working correctly. Read up on S-Off and what it really means for your device.
Having said that - a lot has changed in these new devices so research thoroughly!!!!!!

I have a nandroid back up from which i rstored my stock ROM and relocked the bootloader. after that when i checked for software updates i got an update viz. 1.29.707.17,i downloaded it,and while trying to install it bootloader gives the following message TAMPERED>RELOCKED> Seurity Warning >M7_U PVT SHIP S-ON RH>HBOOT-1.44.0000...eMMC-boot....Installing revolutionary can solve this? ie. can i install the OTA update and use it with stock? One more thing is there any source to get the RUU_M7_U_JB_50_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.29.707.4_R_Radio_4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01_release_ 166754_signed_2_4 [i have downloaded this in zip format,but i think flashing it via CWM won't clear the tampered flag/ security warning]

I have a similar problem after trying to relock the phone with the latest Revolutionary HD ROM.
I have the *** TAMPERED ***, *** RELOCKED *** and *** Security warning *** message as well and cant' seem to get out of Fastboot mode - everything I try reboots me back in to it.
I have tried going the revone route, but cannot get it installed. Whilst 'Fastboot devices' brings it up, 'adb devices' doesn't recognise the phone.
I've updated the HTC sync drivers but that doesn't appear to make any difference.
Any further suggestions? Thanks.

HBOOT 1.56 how to S-on and LOCK bootloader?

i know revone doesnt work to S-oFF, but can i revert back to S-on and remove "RELOCKED" on hboot 1.56 KITKAT 4.4.2?
or is the only way running a RUU, (then running revone) than updating to KITKAT with S-ON and ***RELOCKED*** removed?

To get your bootloader back to LOCKED, first you need to unlock the bootloader and flash CWM. then flash this zip in CWM:
http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/guru-bootloader-reset/
Choose the option so set the bootloader back to LOCKED. You can also remove TAMPERED using this tool
To go back to S-ON, after setting the bootloader back to LOCKED, enter fastboot mode and type this in Command Prompt without the inverted comma,
"fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"
then follow the on-screen instructions to S-ON. reboot 3 times after the procedure
Feel free to ask any doubts and hit the THANKS button if I helped you
S-on on 1.55/56 hboot may bring back tampered text in bootloader. You have to be on 1.44 hboot to do it. Why do you need to s-on. Its not recommended

Yes, revone -l will set back to LOCKED state on any hboot version. Or simply this command in a terminal or adb shell will do it:
Code:
su
echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796
Do not go back S-ON, just don't.
Here you go buddy:

Read all instructions before beginning. Make sure you have the original ADB drivers and the HTC provided drivers coming from HTC sync. Make sure HTC sync is then uninstalled. Make sure your firewall and antivirus is disabled through the process. Make sure you follow all directions to a T. Done this twice following this guide.

[Q] Htc one m7 - return for warranty

Are you running a custom ROM or stock ROM? And if it is stock ROM, does version are you running and does it match your current firmware? Please post a fastboot getvar all and remove your Serial No and IMEI
Because you are S-ON, you cannot LOCK the bootloader again, instead it will read RELOCKED. You need to be S-OFF to change the lock status
You may also get a TAMPERED message when you lock the bootloader using the command fastboot oem relock
If all is running stock I would chance it and send it in for repair, as at the end of the day this is a hardware fault not brought around by unlocking your bootloader

not 100% true, dont send your phone back relocked, you will need to do whatsteve says and get s-off, then flash an early RUU and HBOOT before locking the bootloader and going s-on, otherwise you risk the tampered flags coming back, the phone must be 100% stock.
HTC will refuse a warranty repair in any other condition, they will blame you on the grounds that since you unlocked the bootloader you could of done anything with the phone like flashed an unsupported kernal and overclocked etc, the camera issue is caused by overheating.

From my own experiencea friend sent it in with an unlocked boot loader and they repaired it. But they may have just been lucky.
I wouldn't return to s on on any bootloader later than 1.54, as when you do the writesecureflag command the phone will display a TAMPER DETECTED message and then you're back to square one
Best thing to do would be achieve s off using sunshine
Downgrade hboot to earlier version e.g. 1.44
flash an earlier RUU
Use revone to reset the status of the bootloader to LOCKED, ensure tamper message is not there
Then, if you really must, run the writesecureflag command. That's how I've done it before, and after hboot 1.54 you will def get the tamper detected message
I always leave my phone s off tho

you need s-off so you can downgrade using a ruu, lock the bootloader and turn back s-on.
Try sunshine s-off and then follow nkk71's guide linke in my signature.

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

^^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.
