[Q] Hboot 1.18 unlocked bootloader, need help upgrading to ICS

I have hboot 1.18, with bootloader unlocked using HTC Dev, and I'm running ARHD with stock kernel.
Revolutionary gives me the zerg root error, so I used HTC Dev method. But now I'm unable to use the tacoroot method because my bootloader is unlocked. I tried relocking the bootloader, but that gives me a security warning and I can't boot my phone normally without unlocking it again.
Can someone please tell me how to upgrade to ICS now?
I'm a noob and I don't want to experiment too much and brick my phone.

hmm by relocking you mean fastboot oem lock ?
that should not give security warning...
also before trying tacoroot ...you should flash stock recovery first...any GB stock recovery would do...(fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)

I had a NANDROID backup which I made just after unlocking the bootloader and rooting my phone. I restored that backup before relocking (fastboot oem lock) but it gave me the security warning.
Also, what if I relock the bootloader and then run a BG RUU? Would that work?

[Q] return to stock

Hi all,
I want to return my phone to stock so i am trying to flash the original RUU but this does not work.
Do i have to relock? if so how is that done? through the adb command?
is it possible for to get locked written in bootloader as in some threads it says this can only be set to relocked, is this correct?

You can relock the bootloader using adb !
Boot into fastboot, Open a command window from your adb folder (shift and right click)
Type in: fastboot oem lock
That will relock the bootloader, RUU needs a lock bootloader ! There is no way to get **LOCKED** back !! Only **RELOCKED** But this shouldnt affect your warranty.
You may also need the stock recovery in order for the RUU to work, Sometimes you do sometimes you dont..

I assume i should flash this with fastboot correct? - done

If I wanna return to stock, after locking the bootloader, does it have to be the same version ROM I had initially? Or can I flash any version RUU provided it matches my phone model? Because I don't know what version I had when I bought the phone, I rooted and flashed CM9 straight away.

Hi all, I have some trouble to restore to a stock rom. I have a debranded HOS from Vodafone Spain. I did it helped by the famous Toolkit, so it was with the bootloader unlocked, with a CWM Recovery and then I applied a stock rom by CWM (1.73 about Vodafone to 1.53 but the WWE European one). But I still wasn't happy, can't upload it by OTA and I dislike to do it manually with each new version, plus backups, etc.
Then I changed the CID to HTC Europe (HTC__001); and now the system detects a new version to update it, but when it restart to apply it appears an error during the process, something like "assert failed....... (Status 7)"
I tried also by the RUU, and this way gave me the error 155.
Somebody know if this way is available?. Change the CID and then apply the respective RUU?
Something else... I remember in my old Desire to restore everything, like factory, placing a rom into a "SD" with a especific format (depends of the model), like PG88IMG.zip. Somebody know if is possible for this newer model?

Works perfectly !! thanks for the tuto ! you saved us !

please help needed to restore stock rom - RUU failed

Hi guys, recently my Desire S got some problems with sending/receivng sms and calls (tried 2 sim, different roms) so I decide to revert it back to stock rom and send it to RMA.
First i tried to install a RUU (ok, now I know it has'nt been a good idea), but installation failed with an error like "can't install, wrong bootloader".
Now I have a phone without recovery, with HBOOT 2.00.0002 and says:
***LOCKED***
***Security Warning***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 2.00.0002
etc.
Could anyone tell me what to do now? Thank you all!

I would try and run the official ics ruu and then unlock via htcdev then flash custom recovery and then gain root and then change the misc version and then lock bootloader then finally run your region ruu to get back to stock but have a search about coz there is plenty of guides out there.
good luck

Thank you, I will try!

I succefully installed ICS RUU and then unlocked with HTC dev. Then I flashed clockwork mod via fastboot. Now I'm still on S-ON and my question is: if I restore an old nandroid backup that I made when I was on old 0.98 hboot, will this overwrite my hboot? I don't know if it works since I'm still S-ON.

No, it won't change your hboot. But you will have to flash the boot.img from the backup in fastboot.

change your misc version then run the region ruu for your phone and you should be back as stock p.s once you have changed your misc version make sure your in fastboot mode when you run your region ruu

[Q] S-Off | Relock | OTA - How to do this things?

Hey,
I decided to make S-Off with the JuopunutBear methode but I have some problmes.
1. I unlocked my HTC Sensation by HTCDev and flashed the Inspiration rom. If I want to use the JuopunutBear methode I have to flash the Stock RUU (1.50.401.1), isn't it?
2. When I want to flash the Stock RUU I have to relock / lock my bootloader again and what I'm doing after relocking? I know how to relock but I want to unlock my Bootloader after the process again, is this possible?
I think that was all Sorry for the issues in the text.

it is possible to unlock it again
just use this time the unlock code.bin to flash it via fastboot command
done
but actually you can flash the stock rom from recovery and then follow the juopunutbear method.i think it will work

[q] relocked - security warning

Hello everyone,
I have a HTC Sensation with some problem to solve.
My phone is:
cid: H3G__001
mainver: 3.32.771.51
HBOOT: 1.27.0000
S-ON
I wanted to flash the original firmware of the phone and did:
Relocked the bootloader
flash RUU_Pyramid_H3G_UK_1.34.771.1_R_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_197065_signed.exe
In the end there was an error with the verification of the signature.
Now the phone only boots to bootloader menu
I try to unlock it again with no success.
I tried flashing the RUU again and the same error appeared at the end.
In the top of the screen is:
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***
I can't flash anything to it.
Can anybody give me a clue how to solve this issue?
Thanks

with S-ON you can't downgrade your firmware version
your only way is to unlock the bootloader again
flash a custom recovery(i suggest 4ext)
flash a custom rom
unfortunately there is no an ics ruu.exe for your region

That's ok if I could.
But I can't flash anything.
I can't unlock the bootloader and I can't flash a custom recovery.
The phone is stuck in bootloader menu.
Is any way to unlock the bootloader but not using the htcdev method?
