Verizon setup the phone so that HTCDev method would not work. You can use firewater S-OFF and it will unlock your bootloader and grant you S-OFF at the same time.

Hello guys,
I'm currently running pure stock 4.2.2, never rooted, never s-offed, never unlocked bootloader. As it is now possible to S-OFF using rumrunner s-off, my question is whether I'll be able to re-lock my bootloader without any evidence of unlocking it through HTCDev. I know it is possible to do with revone tool, but that only works on 1.44 Hboot. As far as I know, I should be able to downgrade Hboot after obtaining S-OFF with rumrunner, but I'm not sure.
TLDR : I want to unlock bootloader on 4.2.2 using HTCDev, can I get it back to state "Locked" then ? Any guide ?
Thanks

Hmm rumrunner tool requires an unlocked bootloader to work so I guess you would need to unlock it through HTCDev
But once S-OFF you can set it back to "Locked" instead of "Relocked". Have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
Worked for my HTC One and I'm now back on a "Locked" bootloader.

Thank you for your answer. I know that unlocking the bootloader will void warranty by my carrier (Orange Slovakia) but if it is possible to downgrade Hboot after S-OFF, I'd be able to get back status "Locked", there are many guides to do that. So the question is if I can downgrade from 1.54 to 1.44 after S-OFFing the 1.54. Also, will my carrier be informed about my unlocking through HTCDev ? Can they check whether it was unlocked once via HTCDev (although it is "Locked" now) ?
i wanted to get stock Rom from custom Rom with image version 3.04.651.2 . So I downloaded latest ruu. Which is also 3.04.651.I re-locked boot loader and started ruu
It cleaned user data till 3% then got stuck at sending file.
Then returned error that it can't upgrade this version of ruu.
Now I'm at stuck at the white screen with boot loader , fastboot modes etc option. Custom recovery is gone. I can't unlock it again
I don't have s-off enable.
While erasing data it's on HTC black screen with logo.
Then it says sending . And then it gives error saying it can't update using this ruu. Try another version. I'm lost.:crying:
Please help me please.

Tried running RUU two more times and it worked.
Now I want to figure how to Unlock relocked Bootloader. I think its only possible via S-off.
Now the problem is that ADB is offline mode.. how Do I adb and push the needed files for s-off
I am on windows xp

Update you android sdk/platform tools folder that will fix the offline status
There are no files needing to be pushed to get s-off

Thanks, I got the online status.
Now I am with "Relocked" Bootloader, Hboot 1.55, 4.3 Android.
I read that I cannot get S-off on this built. Therefore I tried Rumrunner. But that is failing too after few reboots.
So what is the way to get Bootloader unlocked. Cannot Unlock via HTC DEV Since its Relocked.
My purpose here to unlock bootloader is ROOT the phone and unlock Sim Lock.

You can use your unlock token if you still have it. If not you can use HTC-Dev again

thanks a ton. I swear I tried it thrice before. But I think because of drivers I got error message saying "too Many links"
I tried dev token again and it worked.
Now I have to figure out way to unlock SIM. So far all methods are proving useless after Sprint has decided to screw people with blocking s off and removing api that allowed SIM unlock

You can use rumrunner to s-off then ruu back to 1.29 and get sim unlock

Hi, I have a problem with unlocking my Sprint HTC One for GSM.
I cant get to unlock my bootloader and I cant get the s-off...
Normal way for unlocking bootloader via HTC dev fails because i can flash unlock token, when i enter the command in fasboot, i get error: ''cannot load token''
Bootloader was already once unlocked, but then i got it relocked and i dont know what to do now....
Message I get is: TAMPERED, RELOCKED
Could you tell me how to fix it? how to unlock bootloader and get s-off :good:
thanks

Hi,
I was just wondering if I wanted to change the CID of my Mini2 so I got ordinary HTC Updates instead of Provider updates, would I need S-OFF? Or is there another method to changing the CID.
It seems S-OFF is still not yet available. Would it be enough to unlock Bootloader, flash different recovery/root, change CID somehow, unroot, reflash stock recovery, and relock Bootloader?
Would that work? And would I still get OTA updates?
Thanks for any comments.....

Well you will need to change CID. And that can be done from an unlocked bootloader, The custom recovery is optional.
So I thought that being S-OFF allowed you to bypass the normal locked bootloader requirement.
But I've never been able to RUU while S-OFF and unlocked - still had to relock first.
And I've never been able to flash recovery while S-OFF and locked - still had to (re) unlock first.
Any insight?
Thanks
