yes, you can if you follow the unlock steps from htcdev.
it tells you, you can relock it by
fastboot oem lock

if i relock it, can I still hv the warranty?

if you're lucky.. the bootloader will say "relocked" instead of locked.

so will the htcdev have a record that I 've unlock the bootloader before?
and how can I make it to be "locked" instead of "relocked" ?
tks

Not sure about it going on record, but no, as of now there is no way to make it say locked again *that I'm aware of*.

Htc will know you had unlocked it before but others probably wont see it since I've exchange my HTC One X at bestbuy after the unlock without issue ... did not even relock it !
anyway if you're lucky by the time your phone briked maybe DEV will have found a way to change relock to lock hope this will come with the s-off/s-on ...

Thanks, but, in htcdev dont have relock, only unlock boot.
to relock,youll simply use the fastboot command fastboot oem lock
at this point your bootloader will say **relocked** instead of **unlocked** and it will remain so until you run an RUU that overwrites it.
Forgive me refreshing the old threads. I just wanna make sure, cos last time I unlocked bootloader I had to use xtc-clip and it was an irreversible process....so I'm kinda old school here.
If I understood correctly, unlocked bootloader is no longer a warranty issue since it can be re-locked, isn't it? As long as your possible HW-problem doesn't make adb, ruu-installation proces an impassable nightmare, u can easily re-lock bootloader, restore stock ruu (using other words: u can erase corpus delicti and send your handset to service centre, without being caught, am I right?

Sorry buddy, you're wrong!
Once you have unlocked your bootloader (its state would change from "Locked" to "Unlocked") it can be locked again but its state will be set to "Relocked".
You can't restore the original state of "Locked" neither by launching any stock RUU nor by flashing a new version of the bootloader.
Corpus delicti is rather hard to hide, I'm afraid... Your hands are stained with blood and HTC has tons of luminol in its warehouses...
Thank you for clarification! I was hoping that RUU would overwrite "re-locked" to "locked", but I guess that'd be too good to be true
That's the reason for some people to wait for s-off and avoiding unlocked bootloader via htc-dev. But to be honest, Android without root is like a Porsche with max. 100 mph.. not nearly satisfying..

Htc One m8 vzw unlock?

Hello, I am currently running with S-OFF but my bootloader is [LOCKED].
I tried to run sunshine and since this phone is preunlocked when i bought it... sunshine already says I have S-OFF as it should so it doesn't offer an option to simply unlock my bootloader.
Basically:
I can't flash TWRP like this
I cannot use sunshine to unlock my bootloader as it normally does when granting s-off
I am stumped.
Any suggestions to get my bootloader unlocked?
SOLVED.
Changed CID to 22222222 (thanks jcase from sunshine irc)
Ran HtcDev. Recieved error when using fastboot. Tried again, Error. Tried one more time but instead of using fastboot oem unlock Unlock-code.bin
I used WinDroid Toolkit and manually selected my Unlock-code under the 3rd step (unlock bootloader) and it worked perfectly.
For anyone who was wondering this is a good workaround if you cant get sunshine to work due to your device being pre-unlocked (probably not with sunshine)

If you have a verizon phone, HTC DEV won't work. Neither will the fastboot command (as you've found out). The only way to unlock it is with Sunshine. There is no other method available.

Thanks bro
Used to be if you were S-OFF you could issue a command and it'd unlock and relock as you pleased since security is off. This was on the m7 of course, so I'm not sure if any such thing is true for the m8.

The same is true with the M8 but the only way to get S-OFF is also the Sunshine app.

He is S-OFF though, so he should be able to just issue the command and change it from LOCKED to UNLOCKED. Just have to find the command.

How to set "locked" again the bootloader after unlock?

Hi guys, I've unlocked the bootloader, then I tried to lock it again, but now BL is set on "RELOCKED" and not on "LOCKED".
So, I think, in case I've to send my phone in warranty, I will have problems!
So, the question is: how can I set again in "LOCKED" the bootloader?
Thank you so much!
Did you not use the unlock code provided by Huawei? Otherwise, they already know you voided the warranty.

There is no way if you did it with the 16 digit code. It will be only relock and no lock. Had you used the other way of unlocking, you may have locked it again. Whats the requirements, only to regain warranty?

Yeah, I've requested the code, but it doesn't mean nothing: I Can request it but it doesn't mean that I have to use it! ^_^
Is there a way to set on "locked" the bootloader?
I knew about dc-unlocker, a payware program.. Does It works?

Don't worry. Unless you run into something very critical you wont need it..even though if you go to service centre, not all cares for bootloader.

Probably nothing you can do, there is no other way to unlock the bootloader.
There is a chance that the unlock site isn't working, and is giving a false " not eligible" message it happens.
if that's the case you just will have to keep trying the site.
Which CID does the device have?
Code:
fastboot getvar cid

I have a cid that is ineligible, 0x0002, originally I didn't want to admit that it was impossible since it seems silly for motorola to control the phone that I own, but when I read up about the cid, yeah, it won't work, thanks for replying to me though!
Does this mean Stylus 2020's bootloader are unable to unlocked now?

0x0002 is the Verizon Cid, Verizon doesn't want the bootloader unlocked.
Verizon branded devices are rarely able to be unlocked, same for At&T.
