I recently obtained this phone from a friend and apparently he used AAHK to unlock and root the device. Now I am trying to get it working for myself and I am wondering if it is safe to run an RUU on a phone that has used AAHK.
P.S.: I hate having to make new threads but i did not see the answer I was looking for.

I am wanting to reset my daughters inspire from AOSPX ICS back to factory stock GB. I am S-Off so can I just relock the phone and run the RUU even though I am on ICS? The RUU I have is
htc_inspire4g_att_RUU_3.20.502.52_US
Thanks for any help.

I don't think you need to relock.

There's a thread about it on this forum, and HTC asked for the link and said they'd look into it. So post your results, with as much detail as possible, here:

unfortunately you are stuck for now the HTC tool isn't working right for us, but at least some HTC people have been notified... hopefully some people that can somehow get something done about it.
the Revolutionary team has also been made aware of the new HBOOT, but they seemed to say not to hold our breath waiting for a new exploit.
hopefully something will happen soon. HTC is supposed to get back to us within a week or so, but we'll see...

I flashed the t-mobile signed stock rom PP59IMG.zip through the bootloader then proceeded to download the OTA's. After that I placed the new recovery image in the appropriate place and rebooted bootloader to prepare pushing the recovery through fastboot. What I noticed is that even after installing the OTA in a unrooted totally stock rom, S-off remains, however where "revolutionary" once was written now displays "**Locked**" , so apparently HTC has managed to relock the bootloader even though it shows S-off. It's not totally locked, as I had to reflash the PP59IMG.zip to downgrade hboot again so that I could reuse the revolutionary tool to flash the 4.0.0.8 recovery, then install CWM to update the recovery. As long as "Locked" was sitting where "revolutionary" normally is, I found it impossible to use fastboot, so my guess is security remains off but fastboot is locked. Just my guess anyway.

thats what i did. I wanted to test drive the new ota's so i flashed the tmobile signed stock rom, which removes root. Fastboot became locked after the ota's but the bootloader wasnt since i was able to just reinstall the same stock rom and used revolutionary to install the recovery. If you were s-on and took the ota before you had a chance to use revolutionary, you are stuck for now.

the reason i want to return the phone is the proximity and light sensors stopped working after i received the OTA ICS update. i unlocked the phone and tried a few custom roms but none of them fixed the problem. so i relocked the bootloader and flashed my stock RUU so now its completely back to stock except in the bootloader screen it says "relocked" now instead of "locked". when i send it in will HTC make a big deal out of that? the phone is still s-on and everything.
Yup

I'm sorry, but they will definitely know that you have unlocked the bootloader.
There may be workarounds, but I'm really sorry, I don't know any.

There maybe a way to show your Hboot as locked, but how can you tell for sure that HTC doesn't keep a track of the phones that have been unlocked using HTC Dev. You are literally telling them "Hey! I'm about to unlock my bootloader which is going to void my warranty!" I do suppose they keep a track of such things.
Try unlocking again and flash diffent firm and relock it on gb idk nice to see there stalking our phones
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Don't know if this works for the Sensation, but if someone is trying to go back to locked hboot, give it a try.
Go back to totally stock. Flash a RUU, preferably GB so that you have an earlier hboot that can be easily S-OFFed again.
fastboot oem write secureflag 3
Reboot and you should be S-ON again. AGAIN, MAKE SURE YOU ARE TOTALLY STOCK WITH A SHIP HBOOT OR YOU WILL BRICK.
Use revolutionary to S-OFF again. Hopefully, you will be locked at this point.
If not, repeat, but use JuopunutBear to S-OFF.
If you're still unlocked, this method doesn't work on the Sensation.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In your case, try using JuopunutBear to S-OFF and see if it restores your bootloader to "locked"
Does it only say that for people who used HTC tool?
revolutionary does not unlock bootloader.
Why not just flash pg58 with stock hboot in it? Or better yet, I believe stock tmous ruu has leaked (you are on tmous, right?)

Hello I'm ending if anyone can give me some detailed steps on getting root back after upgrading to 2.3.5. I've seen one post with instructions, but when it comes to rooting an HTC device, I get nervous. I just want to use my Wi-Fi tethering again, so would I just need to unlock my bootloader using HTCdev and install CWM? Do I downgrade?
Someone please help me out.

How did you root it the first time, AAHK or HTCDEV? If you used AAHK you might still be S-OFF; just flash a recovery and flash a rooted ROM. If you used HTCDEV I advise that you use AAHK this time around. Google "attn1 aahk" to find it. You will need to downgrade; it's in the Kit.

Are you S-OFF already?
Is this an AT&T one X? you would have had to supercid to root, if you RUU and you are not S-OFF you will brick.
To RUU, you'll need windows be it through a VM or another PC.
You can flash an OTA through stock recovery if you download the zip but if you're superCID that will also brick you.
I have S-on Relock hboot 1.09
I guess im gonna ask a friend to let me borough hes windows laptop i think thats the easiest way to go back

Just run any one xl ruu for your carrier. There's a few ruu threads if you click the link to the resource compilation thread in my signature and scroll down to the RUU section.

Ok so you went to HTCDEV and unlocked the phone and flashed the unlock code and in your bootloader it says tampered and unlocked?
The reason I ask is the 2.20 method won't even come close to working on 3.18
