I have an HTC One S and I've been trying to get root so I can flash new ROMs. I have the TokenID string but the HTCDev website is down for new registrations since at least yesterday so I'm stuck at this step.
Is there any way to unlock the bootloader outside of HTCDev?
No
Is there any tool/chance to root my htc one s without unlocked bootloader?
Thanx!
As title says, is it possible?
I tried to unlock bootloader even with message saying "Bootloader unlock: No" and it worked. I didnt expect this to happend and I've lost TA partition. Most stupid move I've ever made.
Now I'm wondering about possibility of relocking without TA. I dont really care about X-Reality, low light camera issues etc.
Just want to know will it work? I really would like to avoid hard bricking.
Any information?
Without a TA partition backup, you can't relock.
Are you sure the bootloader was unlocked? Does the phone display the warning screen when phone boots?

This is impossible. If it said it was not allowed then you cannot unlock the bootloader. I imagine that your bootloader is still locked or that it was allowed in the first place.
You will not be able to restore your TA, but i believe you may be able to relock the bootloader using flashtool without it. However, you will not get back the lost functions so you will be better off keeping it unlocked (If you really are unlocked) and using a custom ROM/kernel with the DRM restore functions.
Yes I do have a warning message at boot stage. I'm currently using Existenz ROM, have root etc. So it is unlocked. I've seen a post on this forum with information that some phones display fake message about unlocking bootloader. Thats why I have tried unlocking my phone and it worked. Before bootloader unlock: no, now it says Yes. All I had to do was open dev options, check oem unlock and debug. I'm not lying to you guys.

bootloader unlocked :no it means that state of your bootloader is locked but you can unlocked.
bootloader unlocked allowed :no means you cant unlocked your bootloader because some restriccions on your phone. Only sony can change this state.
So sorry you cant relocked your bootloader if you lost your ta you only can fix it but flashing a custom kernel with drmfix. cheers
Have you relock your bootloader. I meet same sittuation with you. I unlocked bootloader for my xz1, now i want to relock it, but it cant be done. It has bootloader unlocked allowed :no

I dont know how to relock it again
Hi,
I would like to sell or exchange my mobile but i have unlocked my bootloader.. Is there anyway to remove the bootloader unlocked warning message..
Hello, so... relock your bootloader? xD
Lock the bootloader, search how to do it
I am considering relocking the bootloader for my HTC U12+. I unlocked it a long time ago (out of habit I guess). So my phone is completely running stock without any modifications. I want to relock the phone to get widewine back to L1, so I'll get Netflix updates and such.
A few questions about relocking that I couldn't find an answer to.
1. When I relock the bootloader will it do a factory reset to the phone? I'm asking because unlocking did.
2. If later on I decide to unlock the relocked bootloader again, do I have to get another unlock-code from HTC? Or is unlocking a relocked bootloader a simpler procedure?
So I decided to do the relocking. During the relocking procedure I was being told on the screen that the phone will be wiped if I continue. It remains to be seen how I'll unlock it later on if I want to.

2. You have to to go through the HTCDev website procedure (not sure if you can reuse the previous Unlock_code.bin file).
is it possible to get "locked bootloader" instead of "relocked bootloader" and get rid of system status modified?
