Hi, you could TRY this : http://www.xda-developers.com/android/unlock-virtually-any-htc-bootloader-without-voiding-warranty/ Don't know, if it works.

I just posted in that thread offering to test it on the HTC Sensation 4G eMMC and simonsimons34 ,which is the developer of the utility, posted back saying that it is not working for eMMC right now and that he will have to do some more work on it to get it to work wit eMMC.

I don't know where all the hype about losing warranty came from, but you do not lose the warranty if you do the HTCDev unlock. Only if you cause damage to the hardware (by overclocking or messing it up really badly) will they not repair it.

I think the fear is that if a part died inside the phone and it was through no fault of your own then HTC could say you caused it through rooting and flashing custom roms and kernels. If your CPU packed in and you sent it back for warranty repair they could say you caused it through overclocking. How would you prove otherwise?

Easily; I haven't flashed a custom rom, kernel nor have I overclocked. And even if you did do that, you can always go back to stock rom and claim all you've done is unlock and never touched it further. They can't prove you wrong either. My point, however, is that doing the unlock alone, will not void your warranty.

The real point is that if you use the HTC Dev method to unlock your bootloader. HTC then has a record of you unlocking your device. They then have the option to play the "Well you unlocked your bootloader, so we are declining your service request as te unlocking could have caused your problem". Then they would point to the disclaimer posted on the HTC Dev website about this could void your warranty. So you see if you use the HTC Dev method to unlock your bootloader you have as 50/50 shot of HTC fixing or replacing your device under warranty.
But if you do not use HTC Dev unlock your bootloader, but another method like Revolutionary, Joupunubear S-off, or the Universal S-off HTC has no record off you unlockig your bootloader. So as long as you return your device to a locked state and have the stock ROM and stock recovery installed on your device when you send it in for repair or replacement, HTC cannot play that card.

Yes, I know all this. But saying that the unlock will def void your warranty is completely wrong. That was my point. Also, you can find several members on this board confirming they got their hardware-related issues fixed under the warranty even after doing the unlock. Of course it's good that we now have an alternative (altho he jupunutbear's way will absolutely void the warranty), but just saying the whole "you'll lose the warranty for sure if you do that" is a lil insane.

You can always unroot. It only voids the warranty if you send back a rooted phone

And if the phone died before you could unroot? They could easily say that you have caused it and how would you prove you haven't

No, they don't. They have a record that an unlock token was generated. They have no way to prove that you used it.

Nope. Use JPBear.

I'm afraid of losing the warranty by using htcdev

Then you'll have to wait.

Any root method that I can also unroot in case I need to return the phone?

Hey guys, I just got the awesome One S and looking to root it asap. Is there a root method that doesn't give you the TAMPERED notice in case I need to replace the phone?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium

NO,
You need to flash stock image, bootloader will stay unlocked. That should not be an issue.
The stock images are floating around sub-forum, maybe just do a search/google. Or someone will give you a link

Hmm so basically what you're saying is that I can return/replace the phone as long as I flash back to stock even if the bootloader is unlocked? I want to be sure before I go flash happy on it.

nothing is for sure
but htc allows bootloader unlock, would think if it is a hardware issue, it wouldn't be a problem
never count on it though

No doubt, I figured as much too. Thanks rugmankc, I'll wait a little longer then.

The tampering message comes up no matter what. No matter if your boot loader is unlocked. It's the unlock unlock bootloadet message parts that you need to worry about. If I'm not mistaken there a relock command code to relock it. Just fellow the unlock bootloader directions but at the end change the unlock command to the relock command.

But from what I've read, even if you relock it, it still says "Relocked" as opposed to "Locked". Is that correct?

Don't know

yeah i think i'll wait until there's a work around for this.

Returning Sensation for Repair, Need Guidance?!

I rooted my phone with HTC Dev and now I've heard that this has somewhat voided my warranty. The vibration in my phone is broken (im sure of it).
Now I want to send it in for repair. I have already unrooted my phone and it doesn't look like its been rooted but HTC Dev has my info in their system that I unlocked my bootloader.
The store I bought the phone from said that I have to wait a year from purchase of the phone to give it to them and then they send it to HTC for me, but for now I will have to contact HTC and they will send me a box for me to ship my phone to them directly.
Heres the question, which ones safer. Should I have the store send in the phone for me or send it directly to HTC myself, I am worried because of when I unlocked my bootloader on their website that my warranty may be voided, is one way going to give me a smaller chance of getting caught?
Please help.

If you used HTC Dev and put in your IMEI number than your warranty is void.
Even if you sent it to them via a store, you still dont have a warranty anymore.

Do you mind me asking why your sending it in for repairs?

The vibration of the phone is broken, and sromer, i heard that if it is physical damage they may not check their database. is that possible?

well iv rang up htc with a request to repair my phone once, and they wouldnt give me a quote on how much it'll cost me to repair my last bricked htc. being that you've rooted your phone so your warrenty is now voided there going to charge you to repair it so it might be costly, id check online for local phone repairs shops first if your from the uk id try fonefunshop

Hi,
why don't you wont to S-OFF your device and then hide that you have unlocked bootloader, and then send to HTC for free repair?

i already did, it says s-off and the bootloader is locked, the only problem that i cant change is that they have some info of me onlocking my bootloader in their database

Don't you worry about that if you entered your IMEI into their web site this doesn't mean that you unlocked the bootloader, the only proof for HTC that you have unlocked it is the words "unlocked" and "relocked" in your bootloader and ofcourse S-OFF
to hide everything for free repair just follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425
Hope it helps

oh thankyou for the reassurance, well when i sent it i made sure it said locked, relocked and its s-off. luv yu <3

no problem mate just make sure you make all steps correct (read twice ) and in the end of procedure you should be ''Locked'' and ''S-On'' and you wont have any problems with HTC when you sent your phone to them good luck

[Q] chacha back to full stock!

Ok i know this is the dev section but there is no Q&A so i'm asking here.
I'm not really used to HTC, i just flashed CM on my girlfriend desire but it was already unlocked.
Now i friend that has unlocked chacha via htc-dev has a hardware problem. he has unlocked bootloader, stock GB rom and CWM recovery.
Now he wants to put it back to stock in order to get warranty reparation of phone from htc. the problem is that some key of the keyboard are not working and also the green phone botton, but he fears that they will say you rooted f**k you man pay for the repair.
He asked to me because i'm sort of the phone guy between my friend so i will help you, but can someone give me a guide of how to put it back to stock?
thanks in advace!

It's not possible to revert HTC ChaCha(or any of HTC's phones) back to **LOCKED** as far as I know. But you can always revert back to stock rom and unroot as a result.

So there is no re-lock bootloader option?
ok! but as dar as i know just unlock it via htc dev should let the warranty alive. so how to unroot and falsh back original rom and recovery?? thanks

You can re-lock the bootloader but it will flag itself as **RELOCKED**.
There is a tutorial on how you can revert back to stock rom and recovery in forums. You will find it if you do a little research.

U can relock it with htcdev....but it will be flaged as relocked...
Sent from my HTC ChaCha A810e using xda app-developers app

you can lock bootloader by simply typing this code in the adb "fastboot oem lock"

nice info smell, they won't be looking for those kind of things if you have the stock room, I have a couple of almost dead keys because I slept with my phone under and the keys are too sensible to actually get away with it.
They repaired the keys once, then it happened again (because of the sleeping thing) and finally they changed the phone.

downgrade to ics

Is there any way of downgrading from jellybean to ics?I am not rooted,unlocked or whatever! .Please let me know if there is any way,i dont want to root and unlock my BL

Only way is to unlock the bootloader. No other way.

ok .bt unlocking bootloader voids warranty.and i have seen so many posts here with different kinds of bricks.

Unlocking the bootloader MAY void your warranty. HTC have to prove that by unlocking the bootloader, for example, if your camera breaks, that by unlocking the bootloader, YOU broke the camera. And it is very difficult for them to prove that. And you can relock it with a bit of hex-editing and they will never know.

Dont worry about unlocking the bootloader mate. You can always re-lock it and revert back to how it was out of the box. As for bricking, if you follow the instructions properly you wont brick your phone.

i know but i am noob at this..and i know i can revert it to stock..but the bootloader will say relocked.and will it get my warranty back? and i cant find proper guides.for rooting..unlocking bootloader,relocking bootloader and reverting back to stock.

You can hex edit the mmcblk0p3 file to revert the status to ***LOCKED*** instead of ***RELOCKED***

Well you can revert to stock using an RUU, which you can get from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140967 . Once you run the RUU it'll say "locked" as it did before and not "relocked" so yes you will get your warranty back.
