Hi there!
I really would like to unlock my one S but I don't want to loose the warranty, I have seen this thread regarding the work that is under development for the one X http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604300 and I was wondering if something like this exist here too

There isn't really any active work toward s-off for the One S. I think the hope is that anything the Att One-X guys come up with will work on or phone also. So there is still hope.
Also, you can unlock your phone without going through HTCdev. Therefore not losing your warrenty but you would need files from someones phone who is unlocked. The link below explains it but DO NOT try it with the files in the link as it won't work. You need the files from a One S.

Well, I think that an exploit for the one X cannot be used for the one S because of different chip used on the devices... We have a Qualcomm one while the one X has tegra. I would check the link that you have pass me but I think that it will be hard to find someone who would pass me the right files...

The AT&T (and some other NA carriers) One X (AKA One XL) has the MSM8960 which is also a S4 Krait+Adreno 225 combo, just with an LTE modem.

It would work for sure. If someone has a device going back to t-mobile or HTC for replacement we could use their partitions.

TAMPERED isn't such a great issue. It goes away by just flashing a RUU.
The real issue is the RELOCKED message you get when relocking the bootloader. To prevent this RELOCKED message, and to have it displaying LOCKED isntead (this way the bootloader won't appear to have been ever unlocked), you have to achieve S-OFF. That's what they're working on, if I'm not mistaken.

It would still show tampered. The only reason you would want to do it this way is so your phone wouldn't show up in HTC's database of phones they unlocked. When you unlock through HTC Dev you agree that unlock the phone may void parts of your warranty.
And as the other poster above stated even if you locked the boot-loader again it would say Relocked instead of Locked. So there isn't really much a reason to do it this way.
Well I hope that a way to unlock the phone without leaving traces will eventually cames out. I do not want to use htcdev because I have to keep this phone for 30 months as I have taken it with an operator contract, so if something happen and I have unlocked it then I would have no warranty.

I have had my HTC One X for AT&T for a week now. I noticed that paulobrien has found a way to root the One X. Unfortunately when I go to htcdev.com I get this message while trying to unlock my bootloader.
"We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.

I also get this error when attempting to unlock the bootloader. Any ideas?
you cannot unlock bootloader yet for AT&T, it's known fact right now. root is independent of the bootloader too, so just cuz we have root doesn't automatically let you unlock bootloader. just give it some time, maybe in a month or so.
I thought it wasn't possible to unlock if you was on ATT
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
it's not possible. all we have at the moment is root, we'll have a bootloader unlock in some time i'm sure, either sanctioned or unsanctioned.

Are you serious? You bumped a 3 month old thread which is only somewhat relevant to your situation AND made your own post?
Did you even read how to unlock a 2.20 htc one x?
Did you read the 3000 threads here on how to do it?
Recently I unlocked my bootloader on my AT&T htc one x
Did this void my warranty on my phone, because it seems to be having hardware issues, and I don't know if this voided my warranty.
Technically, yes. It voids your warranty.
Are you still within your 30 days?
I had a flickering pixel on my first HOX. So I backed everything up, relocked my bootloader, flashed the 1.85 RUU, factory reset to everything stock, made sure that there were no ROM or "hacking" files on the SD card (can't be too careful ), and brought it to the AT&T store.
They replaced my HOX without any problem!
I never mentioned to them that I unlocked and relocked my bootloader, and they never asked me either. As long as you focus on the hardware issue, you're good.
If you're part your 30 days, though, can't tell you what happens then. I don't know how thoroughly they look at a device with hardware issues, or how picky they are when you send them your device for warranty replacement. Wouldn't hurt to try though, IMO, if it's something that bothers you.
What's wrong with the hardware?

Here is the link to a collection of radios for the HOX:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694012
You may or may not have a hardware issue. Did you flash any ROMs after you unlocked your bootloader?
I would try to rule it out by either flashing one of the radios from the above collection (I would start with the ATT 1.85 radio), or by going back to stock completely if that doesn't help. If you're still having issues, then I would take the phone to the store in its "stock" and "relocked" condition.

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.

Hi, as my nexus s has recently been lost i decided its time to put a custom rom on my one s, i was about to unlock the bl on it and noticed the tamper banner on the bl screen, its also s-off with a cid of 11111111, i have attatched a pic of the bl screen for reference, As far as i know the one series cant as of yet cannot be s-off'ed like the older htc devices, how would this be possible on my device? It was bought from brand new quite a while ago and until now has always run the the stock rom with no root etcetc.. The only thing i can think of is i had it unlocked not long after purchasing it but not sure what method the shop used. When i access the bootloader on my one s i can choose what to do fastboot or recovery etc etc but on this one s i get the red htc disclaimer like pictured below when i select recovery, i have the latest cwm touch flashed but cannot get into it.. So how can i access recovery?? any help would be appreciated
Sorry about image quality its taken on an old webcam
Your bootloader is still locked, that would be my guess. That's why the pink banner at the top says "locked". Unlock that and you should have access to recovery.
Sent from my H1S using XDA Premium.
I have since unlocked the bootloader, and still getting the same problem, recovery just won't load, as with old HTC devices such as sensation, desire s, DHD bootloader unlock was not relevant if you had s-off not sure about the one series, my main question is how it's become s-off in the first place
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Keep the bootloader locked, don't use the HTCDev method to unlock it. You're extremely lucky to have S-OFF, this means that you can easily get your warranty back running an RUU, changing CID and fastboot oem writesecureflag 3. This will make it S-ON again, and no trace of it being S-OFF will be there.
The current method is HTCDev, which submits a Unique Device Identifier so they can decline your warranty due to an unlocked bootloader.
S-OFF is better than HTCDev for flashing ROMs, as it means you don't have to flash the boot.img seperately.
