the reason i want to return the phone is the proximity and light sensors stopped working after i received the OTA ICS update. i unlocked the phone and tried a few custom roms but none of them fixed the problem. so i relocked the bootloader and flashed my stock RUU so now its completely back to stock except in the bootloader screen it says "relocked" now instead of "locked". when i send it in will HTC make a big deal out of that? the phone is still s-on and everything.
Yup

I'm sorry, but they will definitely know that you have unlocked the bootloader.
There may be workarounds, but I'm really sorry, I don't know any.
You could try your luck in the Unbrick IRC Channel

There maybe a way to show your Hboot as locked, but how can you tell for sure that HTC doesn't keep a track of the phones that have been unlocked using HTC Dev. You are literally telling them "Hey! I'm about to unlock my bootloader which is going to void my warranty!" I do suppose they keep a track of such things.
Try unlocking again and flash diffent firm and relock it on gb idk nice to see there stalking our phones
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Don't know if this works for the Sensation, but if someone is trying to go back to locked hboot, give it a try.
Go back to totally stock. Flash a RUU, preferably GB so that you have an earlier hboot that can be easily S-OFFed again.
fastboot oem write secureflag 3
Reboot and you should be S-ON again. AGAIN, MAKE SURE YOU ARE TOTALLY STOCK WITH A SHIP HBOOT OR YOU WILL BRICK.
Use revolutionary to S-OFF again. Hopefully, you will be locked at this point.
If not, repeat, but use JuopunutBear to S-OFF.
If you're still unlocked, this method doesn't work on the Sensation.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In your case, try using JuopunutBear to S-OFF and see if it restores your bootloader to "locked"
Does it only say that for people who used HTC tool?
revolutionary does not unlock bootloader.
Why not just flash pg58 with stock hboot in it? Or better yet, I believe stock tmous ruu has leaked (you are on tmous, right?)

Has anyone used the official HTC utility to unlock the bootloader?
Just curious about it, my warranty will be up before I know it and I've never bricked a device beyond repair. I was considering giving it a shot, I always liked my nexus for the official unlock. The Revolutionary header is just annoying haha.
Is anyone aware of any cons of unlocking the bootloader via HTC?
I wouldgo with the revolutionary way.
When doing it the htc way it still shows S-on but unlocked.
I like to have peace of mind and see that mine says s-off

No. HTC unlock only unlocks bootloader. It doesn't give you s-off, and it doesn't give you fastboot write command access like revolutionary does.

I don't have to do it at this time right? I could always choose to do it later correct? The reason I ask is because I read that you would not be able to receive any OTA updates HTC pushes out.

well if you don't want to install ics custom rom you don't have to but if you want you have anyway there are ics fw that can be installed without supercid but imo it is better to supercid
edit: and if you supercid you can revert it back....however if you have rooted the phone you can't receive OTA, or better you can but it will brick your phone

yes man before getting the ota you MUST flash the stock htc RUU which you can find in the development forum
Almost everyone does SuperCID after rooting.
After Rooting, I didn't though. I just S-Offed. A week later, I realized I had to SuperCID to get some ROMs to work. So I did it and never regretted.
Go for it.

what exactly did I miss?
I have not needed supercid, I simply s-off'd and not needed any such thing.
I have updated the fw and I'm running Virtuous Inquisition ICS rom, no problems?
I really don't understand why you'd want to change the CID or how it affects ROMS
You don't have to supercid, but it might be handy at some point. It will allow you to flash any ruu shall you ever need it.

There are no downsides. I did it as soon as I got my Sensation.
I bought my sensation pre rooted, I have latest firmware and am runnin a 4.0.3. Rom, so does this mean the guy used superCID or whatever

I think I saved me a super headache when I got stuck in a bootloop from flasing a ICS the wrong way whatever I did wrong I was able to find a stock RUU in no time thanks y'all.

if your not branded,
you will almost never have to supercid for a custom rom to install.
but for example if a firmware update is mandatory, you might depending on your cid/mid.
i own a xe device and never supercid it, can install anything without problems. (dont always) believe what people say, but always check the description on the base of your own cid/mid yourself.
that said,it cant hurt to supercid, but if its not mandatory why?
+1 Me too
+1 I've supercid as well, changed a few times back to orginal CID because of warranty without problem.

Well, that's partially true.
As I remember the T&C, it does not void warranty automatically.
The warranty is not valid however if the root of the issue is related to flashing.
Anyway I'm also confused on HTC's regulation regarding this question.
As far as I know there is no alternative for bootloader 1.27...Or is there?

There was a modified Hboot a while back by revolutionary for 1.27 (or was it 1.23, can't remember right now) that required s-off already.
But as for new s-off, there isn't one that doesn't involve the HTC unlocking first.

Well, their disclaimer is written so that if they will want, they can tell you that your issue is not covered due to htc dev unlock... Im sure it depends onwho will pick up your phone in service centre.
I dont want to use it because my sensation started shutting down every then and now and Im concerned that it can come back again. So, at least for now, Im stuck on stock rom :-(

I don't work for HTC so I can't tell you. Are you paying for service? Or using your warranty? If you're trying to use warranty, it was voided the second the BL was unlocked. You may luck out and they might not check or see it. What's the worst that could happen? They send it back and say they can't service it?
If you bought it from AT&T, return it to AT&T. There have been a bunch of reports by folks on here that have had warranty honored by AT&T even though the bootloader is RELOCKED. And haven't seen any reports of AT&T doing otherwise.

It will always only say RELOCKED. Only way for it to say LOCKED is if the bootloader was never unlocked. Some think the flag can be changed to LOCKED if we get S-Off. RUU will only remove the TAMPERED tag. It will not make it back to LOCKED.
