Remove "RELOCKED" on bootloader

Hi, I unlocked the bootloader with htcdev.com method. Then I relocked it because of hardware problem and I need to get it repaired.
But in the bootloader I see "RELOCKED", how can I remove it?
I already flashed twice the original RUU, but it didn't work.
Help me please!

thats fine having relock wont hurt OTA update
the only requirements for OTA are
1.cid
2.stock recovery
3.stock non rooted rom

For this method you must have S-OFF!!
To remove the "RELOCKED" you must do this:
1. Download an HBoot from here Download
2. Put the downloaded PG58IMG.zip on your SD card. Attention!!! Do it in no folder!
3. Go into Bootloader
4. Follow the options on your screen.
5. Now you should have an HBoot called "REVOLUTIONARY"
6. If yes go on
7. Download an Sensation RUU
8. Go on with the RUU.
9. If it is done, go again in the bootloader
10. Now it called "LOCKED" S-OFF
11. If yes type this in ADB:
Code:
fastboot writesecureflag 3
fastboot reboot-bootloader
12. When your Sensation reboots and it shows you S-ON you are done
Attention: you are only take the responsibility for maybe bricks!!!

phil thats all fine
but even after doing all that he will still have RELOCKED
the problem is if after SOFF ..if any person did HTC-DEV unlock ...and relock he cant make it LOCKED ...but can only make it RELOCK (even Running RUU will give him RELOCKED only)
the only way ...is to go to stock ICS ..SON...then wire trick again (JB SOFF) ..that will give you either locked hboot or juopunutbear hboot (in jb hboot case a simple flash of stock hboot will take him back to locked state)

But he flash with my variation a Revolutionary HBoot.

Waste of time as long as the rom is working you only need to S-Off and then flash the RUU. I know it been updated but at the time I had to use a RUU to get my phone working again and went to S-Off and couldn't in till I flashed Viper2.

hmmm....i didnt know that the htc one s got s-off (been busy with work lately).....i tried debranding before , using a method that doesnt involve s-off, i was able to change the CID but i could never install the RUU cause of the different MID.....is the different MID not a problem anymore ? also will you be able to get OTA updates after you debrand and flash stock Jelly Bean ROM

tried installing the JB RUU over my stock 2.31 ICS, but i get an unknown error ..im s-off already and changed cid to HTC__001, and i get the system notification for the JB OTA..is it safe to just install the OTA? coz i've read in another thread that some devices got bricked by installing the OTA (although they are using supercid when they upgraded..

After s-off the CID changing is easy and S-off disables signature checking so you can extract the rom.zip(ruu) and edit the android-info and change the mid in that text file save it and then add it to some.zip and flash it as RUU , it will work ! But remember you will need s-off, and you will get OTAs , Donot relock the bootloader ! the bootloader should be saying S-off and unlocked .

Hi,

Try flashing this:
HBoot 1.27.1100 Patch (Go from Hboot 1.29.0000 to 1.27.1100)
This should give you an unlocked bootloader.

Hi,
I am not sure what to suggest.
People who flash this are normally locked and hboot 1.29
It works for them,so it should work for you
I do not think it would do any harm.
Or perhaps you could flash the 1.27 > 1.29 version first.
Then, go 1.29 > 1.27
How did your bootloader become locked?

When you say you have 1.27 do do you mean a patched one? Besides, @malybru posted a patched one.
You could try unlocking your bootloader (i am not sure, but this may cause brick).

Flashing a rom via recovery shouldn't change bootloader status. Either you flashed a new firmware, or did an ruu.
Besides, a patched hboot should enable fastboot commands.
