If I install a stock or non-rooted rom to my currently rooted and sim unlocked Inspire will the rom also sim relock the phone? Or is it permanently unlocked?
It's "permanently" until you run the stock ruu and return it to as shipped condition.
Yes, but you still have s-off even after running stock ruu. There is a tool somewhere to get s-on for return purposes.

My problem is that I cannot relock my phone after unlocking from htcdev.com

r u sure that i can flash the ruu to relock my phone successfull to get official updates from htc...or can i get official update with stock rom but "unlocked from htcdev.com"
with
"unlocked"
and s-on status in bootloader
The RUU won't run properly as with s-on you cannot flash radio.img or boot.img. This guide will help with either return to stock or root/s-off.

thanks it worked for me to get s-off
Just got my Sensation back from rapair for sensor and earpiece problems, they just did a handset swap, interesting thing is the bootloader is officially ***LOCKED*** but is also in S-Off?? Is this normal for a warranty (im assuming they're fact referb) to come back S-Off?

Happy flashing

I had to do 2 different warranty swaps, both came back locked and s-on. Think you just got lucky on the s-off. Get 4 ext on, enable smart flash and try an updated user friendly firmware. Not sure if it will work but if it does you should be unlocked and s-off.

No smartflash.. Smartflash is not for him.. It's for people with SON and htcdev unlocked bootloader
To the OP.. Just flash jb hboot via fastboot
Get the pyramid ics from
http://unlimited.io /hboot-downloads/
Also the flashing instructions/commands were given in the same site
Once flashed come back to bootloader using
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then 4EXT recovery then rom

How does upgarding to TMOUS OTA ICS effect S-OFF procedure? I have a stock S-ON Sensation. Want to upgrade to ICS. have not done so yet. If I do the OTA upgarde will I not be able to S-OFF after?
Really I just want the camera mod ( NODO GT ). Is there no way to get the camera mod on stock rom?

yes SOFF is possible once upgraded but its a tedious process ..but doing SOFF while in GB is a piece of cake (revolutionary) look here and check the section "soff for HBOOT <= 1.18"
then just upgrade to any ICS custom rom (ARHD has the mod inbuilt and is pretty close to stock ..with lot of performance enhancement)
Hi I just want to ask how to relock the bootloader with jb method and if so do I have to do it before I return to stock

After jb method.. You will either have LOCKED (not RELOCKED) bootloader or juopunutbear bootloader..
If the case is latter.. I.e juopunutbear bootloader.. A simple flash of ruu.. Would take it to complete stock...
To simply put.. You should not I mean you SHOULD not.. Touch the unlock of bootloader and re-lock of bootloader after SOFF

So I just flash an ruu if I'm on the jb bootloader

Depends which Juopunutbear method you used. If you never used htcdev to unlock your bootloader, you are fine. Just flash the appropriate RUU and S-ON to go back to stock (YOU MUST GO BACK TO STOCK HBOOT OR YOU WILL BRICK).
The original Juopunutbear method required unlocking the bootloader with htcdev. If you are looking to lock your bootloader, again flash the appropriate RUU so that you can S-ON. Then use the new method that doesn't require using htcdev to unlock your bootloader. The result will be S-OFF and LOCKED bootloader.
This is the only way to return to locked state and not relocked.
Most vital for S-ON is a signed, proper hboot. Otherwise, you will brick and will need to find that thread on how to unbrick.
The new method is the jb one without HTC dev unlock is that right

im getting confused on what you are saying
YES ...the original juopunutbear method requires ..htc-dev unlock ..but after the SOFF process ..you neither have that *UNLOCKED* status nor *RELOCKED* ...
you will have *LOCKED* (which is stock ) or *juopunutbear*
and
even if he did SOFF using the NON HTC-DEV method (guide in my link to do this )..he will have the same ..*LOCKED* or *Juopunutbear*
and as i explained earlier ...if the case is later ..i.e. Juopunutbear ..then he(OP) needs to flash a simple RUU ..that will take his bootloader to *LOCKED* which is stock
thats all to explain ..nothing more to resolve here
to the OP

Question of the day: what if i have relocked on my bootloader and only want to change it to locked? Is there any way to do this without s-off my device?

without soff ..no not possible
first of all if anyone did a unlocked bootloader again ..after SOFF ..then that means ..the person didn't understand the SOFF process completely and he is stupid to do that (you have a privilege to flash eng-hboots (juopunutbear/revolutionary) which are much much better than the unlocked hboot)
now assuming he did unlock of bootloader after SOFF
then
there are two ways (just now a new way released ..its cosmetic ..but might work)
1.cosemetic way ....look here)
2.hard way ..flash RUU ..do S-ON(careful here ..brick risk) ...and again SOFF (use htc-dev unlocked JB SOFF)

That depends on how you gained s-off. If you did it via revolutionary then there is a fast boot command that allows you to flash a stock hboot. This will make you s-on again and your hboot should become locked but such moves can be dangerous if you are not fully on stock. Some htc devices like the htc sensation will brick if you return to s-on and are not fully stock, as the hboot detects that custom software is being used and it refuses to boot. Which leaves you in quite a pinch as you would need s-off to fix it :/
If you used the xtc clip to gain s-off then the same dangers apply but you need a different fastboot command. In order to return to locked and not relocked you would need to edit your misc partition with a hex editor to show it has never been unlocked.
Lastly if you are s-off by xtc clip, but using the revolutionary hboot for the bonus fastboot commands you would need to run then revolutionary hboot downgrade command, then do the hex editing and finally run the xtc clip s-on command.
