CID - 11111111
I want to unlock my bootloader via HTCDev as i like knowing i have access to Fastboot commands if needed, but what i'm wondering, before i do this, is will it send me back to Stock CID and S-Off, or will everything be left as it is whilst just unlocking my bootloader?
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but i've had a look about and not come accross my answer.
Thanks!

It is unlocked, its just saiz locked. A common problem

Hi,
It will unlock everything for you.
But HTC will then have a record of what you have done,and this will give you warranty problems,should they ever arise.

Thanks for the help guys!
Much appriciated. I've gone as far as getting my unlock code sent to e-mail, but i've not actually flashed it yet as i was rather unsure.

Hi,
It's locked to advanced fastboot,like installing radio.
Basic fastboot like get cid is still available.

Malybru, thats pretty much why i'd want it unlocked - I'm so used to flashing radio etc via Fastboot. I know you can do it via HBoot with PG58IMG, but i've been doing it via Fastboot with my Streak, Desire HD etc and just find it easier doing it like that.

Hi,
I know what you are saying.
But you will invalidate your warranty by doing anything from HTCDEV...
EDIT:
You can always return to 1.17 HERE

this what throws me off alot, unlocking the Bootloader gives us fastboot commands, which i dont want to lose, once you have done the Revolutionary you get s-off which takes security off to flash radio etc, once we update the hboot, it says locked but its truly not, and it still says s-off so once we do the unlock from htcdev we still have s-off so fastbooting flash radio should still work since that security is still off
i searched and asked there is no real answer as everyone jus shrugs and says use the PD58IMG to do things then the thread dies or OP says ok that will be fine
and it will not fully void your warranty if its any type hardware issue, it only voids software side, as say you did a bad flash and bricked it, if they recovery it and see you are unlocked then yes its voided, but if the digitizer not responsive, power button stuck, backlight died, whatever that is still coverd

I know i could return to 1.17, but would that mess up the fact i'm running RCMix ICE 4.0.3? I'm no desperate for the Fastboot commands, but just knowing i have access to them is a weight off my mind.
I've never needed to use my HTC warranty, but loosing access to it is putting me off a little. I think i'll lay off unlocking for a while.

Oh dear, locked does not mean only basic fastboot. The hboot version determines the basic fastboot. 1.17 has advanced fastboot but none others do

If you've gone as far as getting the unlock code emailed across then go for it.
I unlocked mine with HTCDev first, now i have hboot 1.23 unlocked and s-off..

It's not going to clear my S-Off or Super CID i take it then?
Thats the only main reason i've been holdinf off doing it, the warranty is a downside, but it's not a huge thing. I bought the phone second hand, so i've no idea who it was first registered to anyway.

I can't answer that one i'm afraid as I did it the other way around, HTC first, then revolutionary.
TBH i'm not sure what the difference is between having an unlocked bootloader and S-Off, or whether they are one and the same. When I did the HTC unlock it said it had been successful but still said S-Off in HBoot so i used the revolutionary method as a follow up.
In retrospect I think the HTC unlock did work, at least in part, because i've flashed the most recent ruu (complete phone image direct from HTC) and have both 'unlocked' at the top and 's-off' showing in hboot. most if not all users who have not done the HTC unlock end up with a 'locked' 's-off' combination.
this doesn't really help with your dilemma unfortunately but i'm sure somone with a definitive answer will be along...

I just went ahead and did it... when the screen appeared asking if i wanted to unlock, i vol upped to Yes and pressed Power. Nothing happened, tried again, nothing happened. Pressed Power on NO my phone restarted.
Went back into Hboot, now says *** Unlocked ***, Ship S-OFF RL, and Supercid says 11111111, so all went well it seems, Only odd thing is, my rom seemed to factory reset, and the RCMix ICE splash screen has changed to the stock Android Spash Screen. All seems ok though, still rooted, etc?

Sounds promising. It's a bit of a steep learning curve at first for sure and not all of the guides and info are in plain english. Still, all's well that ends well.

All seems fine. Reading on HTCDev.com, it does factory reset your Rom and Settings, so i decided to just reflash RCMix Ice and all is well and good now.

Fastboot getvar cid shows cid - 11111111
All is good now. I agree that sometimes the guides are a little confusing, but it's the after affects that bother me just as much as what could go wrong. I'd hate to have unlocked and had everything set back to default

[Q] Locked/Unlocked not appearing on bootloader menu [SOLVED]

Hello there!
I have a slight problem here, let me explain why.
I have to send my phone to service to repair the dust inside the screen so I decided to put the phone S-ON again. I downgraded the firmware to 1.17.2008 (ENG boot), change the CID to original, install the correct RUU and finally S-ON again. Here's the deal, in my bootloader menu the first row is gone, no locked or unlocked sign whatsoever and my MID is PG58*****. Is there any problem with that? I mean, will the warranty be void (on software, not hardware obviously).
Here's a capture.

The part where it says s-on rl means relocked I believe pal. It probably states rl and not unlocked /locked as it is neither :/ not sure how it will play with warrenty :/

I've already solved it. The S-On rl doesn't mean relocked, because the phone was never unlocked, just s-off.
After I downloaded a couple of updates things started to appear again, first the LOCKED on top, then the radio disappeared but with the ICS update everything was on place again. Just the MID number that now is PG58***** but the phone is not supercid, it has the original CID, anyway.

Htc one x help scared croatian :(

Hello guys
Sorry for my bad english but il try to be precise as i can. I bought my htc on ebay it says new and it feels new. But after i read may treads here it seems its not new . I have problems with automatic software update it freezes on 20% then it reboots after few minutes, if i regard this problem the phone works fine. But im fustrated i want new software . Now i got in boot loader in this is what it says:
++++locked+++++ - in one tread i read this should be relocked
evita pvt ship s-off rl - i belive this is s-off i need your confirmation
cid - 11111111 - i dont understand fully this yet but its a good thing i belive
h-boot 1.09.0000 - dont understand what this means
RADIO - 0.16a.32.09.17_2 - i belive this is software for my phones antena
open dsp - v25-1-0-32-0405 - dont know if this is imortant
emmc -boot
Apr 2 2012, 21:08:24 - is this last known software update i manufacturing date
Know i need you help to explain this thing to me and if its safe and what do i have to do to install new software. Which software whould you
recommend and maybe can i install viper xl
Thanks

The phone definitely isn't new. You have SuperCID (11111111) and s-off which means it has been unlocked at some point. But the good news is you can easily unlock the bootloader at htcdev, then install a custom recovery, and then install Viper if you wish.

Thanks for the reply, now i never unlocked bootloader can you give me some advice on the safest way to do that and where can i see when bootloader is unlocked, sorry for dumb questions but if i dont ask ill never learn

Can somebody send me some links where can i find instructions on how to unlock bootloader, make recovery image and then how to install viper xl rom

Is your phone an at&t model? If it is it'll have the at&t logo above the screen, otherwise it'll just have the HTC logo.

You already have SuperCID so you can go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader.

The phone is s-off, does the OP even need to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP, flash ROM, etc.?
You typically won't receive OTAs for AT&T phones outside of North America. So that is probably why the update is failing.

[Q] HELP - getting back to stock for warranty purposes

Hi everyone,
Few weeks ago my device started to overheat quite a lot when being used (I dont play 3d games, well I dont play games at all on this device), for browsing the internet on wifi or 3g network, it gets hot in the bottom part of the screen above the touch buttons. I tried buying a new battery, I bought a original HTC, but a bigger one for Evo 3D, but it is still getting hot, and I dont know whether it is a hardware issue or a software caused. Do you have any ideas what could be wrong? ...my sensation is rooted, bootloader unlocked via HTCDev, S-OFF..and I still might try to use my warranty to get it repaired but I dont want to take the chance that I would be told that the device had been unlocked and rooted and thus not being repaired...I read that it ist possible to get device back to S-ON and LOCKED, not RELOCKED, so that the repair center wont find out that it was unlocked and rooted before...but I could not find a tutorial and I also do want to brick my device so I am asking for some help how to get the device back to STOCK rom with S-ON and LOCKED status...
my bootloader says this:
-Firmware-3.33-
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT 1.27.1100
RADIO-11.24A.3504.31_M
OpenDSP-v05.6.0.2226.00.0418
eMMC-boot

Can you help me with some steps what to do or just point me to some tutorial? I would be really gratefull for any advice.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425 There is pretty much everything covered about RUUs.
And gaining the ''***Locked***'' status for bootloader is impossible. It will say ''***RELOCKED***''

is it impossible? cos I read it somewhere that it is possible with some ADB action...unfortuntelly did not save the link...

it is possible since you are on S-OFF
but i don't remember the link
you can use also the flashable zip(only from bootloader can be flashed)except of adb command

Okay, maybe it goes to ''Locked'' state itself once you go to S-ON/Flash a RUU

[Q] Where do I begin?

Hi guys,
I was in the rooting scene for the HTC One S in its first year of release with the Viper Rom. After the phone overheated, HTC replaced the motherboard, and removed literally everything I had done to it. A couple months later, I re-rooted my phone with HBOOT 2.15 Roms to only notice that I was stuck on the 2G-Only issue, and HTC was happy to fix that and remove everything again.
So here I am with a nothing-done-to phone, It has been almost a year since I did anything to the phone (yes running pure stock for a year is hell), and I do not know where to start. Anyway, here is my phone's information:
CPU 1512 Mhz
Android Version: 4.1.1
Software Number: 3.14.531.19.710RD
Kernel Version: 3.4.10-g0f5103e
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT: 2.15.0000
RADIO: 1.13.50.05.31
I am familiar with the terms because I have been a long time user in the HTC One S forums. I just need a guide so I don't ruin my phone because I'm a little rusty. Do not give me a step by step, just tell me what I need to do in chronological order, and I think I can find my way around the forums for the tutorials. For example, should I unlock bootloader first then S-OFF. or should I S-OFF first before anything.
Please help me out, as I think I have been far out of the game for too long. And I am very eager to get back to work on this phone. I miss being rooted.

oh, and I want to be able to use the most stable LIBERTY ROM without being stuck on 2G

I would try and get S-OFF if possible. This phone needs it.
Try moonshine.io. If it works, it will do practically everything for you (unlock bootloader, S-OFF etc...).

Read the moonshine.io page. It tells you what it does.
Good luck!

The latest moonshine for One S T-mobile is for version 3.14.531.11. Would that work for 3.14.531.19?

you have to make sure you have devunlocked, root access, and adb fastboot files working.
