Ok so i am going to need a little bit of help here.
I the process of trying a method i found to apply the OTA update i forgot to do a nandroid backup.
I first pushed a recovery i thought was the stock one.
Then i locked the phone
then I pushed another recovery on top of it after the phone was locked.
The last step is preventing me in entering recovery.
Everytime i try to get in it comes back to the bootloader saying:
TAMPERED / RELOCKED / Security Warning.
As you can see, i screwed up.
What i am trying to accomplish though is do manually create a nandroid using ADB.
Now the problem i am having is that the tar command does not seem to preserve the sym links AND user/group.
the tar command i used was
tar -cvhf /sdcar/backup/system.ext4.tar /system
I am pretty trying to do the same thing as CWM recovery but from the command line.
How can i accomplish this?
Thanks a ton
well you cannot flash files with a relocked bootloader, So thats the reason you're having issues pushing recovery, Re-unlock the phone and try again.
And also, Stock recovery does not support nandroid backups. Flash CWM in fastboot, make a nandroid, Flash stock recovery, re-lock bootloader and all will be good.
**TAMPERED**
RELOCKED
Security Warning
Is normal when you have custom software on a locked device. Reverting to stock will clear this up
Oh and next time, Please post in the correct section, This belongs in Q&A.

I will use the correct section. I promise.
I just thought that Q&A was just general questions about the phone.
Now, I would re-unlock it, but this creates a factory reset and erases everything which is what i am trying to avoid.
I am half screwed though since when i first unlocked it i did a nandroid backup.
So technically, i just need to tar up the /data folder.
Any idea on how to do this in my current state?
Just unlock it again via HTCdev. After it's unlocked download stock recovery. AFter that use the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and then relock it. You will not have security warning. You get security warning after you lock bootloader but recovery is still custom. The newly locked bootloader signature checks recovery and gives you the *Security Warning*. Good luck
Edit: You do not need to erase anything. The only thing that erases all your stuff running an RUU or a different backup. All you need is stock recovery. Also if you don't flash recovery but you unlock bootloader also the security warning will be gone. easy.

I will unlock, and i've done it before. The problem is that unlocking resets to factory defaults meaning everything is erased.
I need to pretty much backup the data folder, then unlock, but without the recovery.
its a bit of a challenge.
But thanks though.
unlocking does not delete anything.

Fortunately everything I care about can be easily restored but if one uses Hasoon's all-in-one kit I can say that your data will be wiped. It won't touch the 'sdcard' data but all apps and settings will have to be restored.
shootind5nukes what method are you using to unlock that doesn't wipe?
So, no response on the magical method to unlock without wiping?

I figured, but i should have posted earlier the results of my experiment.
At the end, nothing would work.
I ended up wiping out everything and twice.
The first time, i installed the nandroid and radio and used Titanium backup to reinstall the apps.
Somehow, this method caused some issues and the battery would drain really fast.
I just reinstalled everything but this time by hand and redownloading everything from the market.
hey need some help have succesfully rooted my phone but after flashing trickdroid rom my phone got stuck on the white htc screen.. i believe i have since wiped everything.. i now get unable to mount sd card messages and waiting for device messages when ever i now try do anything including flashing a stock rom. i have tried using the all in one tool and i re locked my bootloader through it but now cant re unlock it.. i can use the tool to reboot my phone into bootloader and recovery modes.. but not to do any sort of flashing, have read numerous posts and threads but no luck.

Are you using TWRP or CWM as your recovery?
twrp
You will not be able to flash any custom roms as long as your bootloader is locked. The most you can do with the locked bootloader is use an RUU to get back to stock. Which bootloader are you on now? 1.14?
my bootloader is unlocked at this moment. um would my bootloader be where it says.. hboot? if so its 2.13.0000?
Correct, the bootloader is an all white screen, with the radio, hboot and other such info at the top of it. Well you are good then. Just so we are clear you have a HTC One S S4 right, you dont have a HTC One S C2? Thats very important that we get that info correct, we don't want to brick your device.
im almost certain its a s4.. i got it from t mobile here in the uk any check i can do from the bootloader to confirm?
If you're not S-off, did you make sure to fastboot flash the kernel after flashing rom in recovery?
From my Evo LTE, yup.
im s-on, and no i dont believe i did no
how would i go about fixing that?

You should have read and followed the instructions in the OP of the rom you downloaded so.
Try flashing boot.img in fastboot mode with typing 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' in terminal window. Hope you're familiar with the platform-tools in android development kit...
Else download here and
follow the step by step instructions.
reboot into bootloader with your phone connected to you pc. make sure you are in Fasboot USB mode, it should say that in the bootloader screen. Move the boot.img from whatever rom you flashed and put it in the same directory as ADB and Fastboot. make sure its named boot.img. open a command prompt that points at that same directory as ADB and Fastboot, type
fasboot flash boot boot.img

thanks for trying so far
Is it still locked? And you're on custom recovery (twrp)?
You need to reflash the ROM you want. Then reboot into the boot loader from TWRP. Once there, follow my previous instructions.

Which TD version do you have?
Is there any way to root the Oneplus without unlocking the bootloader and wiping the device?
Just unlock the bootloader and root. You're making it too difficult for yourself, the whole point of the bootloader being locked is to prevent changes being made to the system.
Its like saying, you're going to break your windows to get into your house when you can just unlock the door.
Just unlock the bootloader and flash supersu for root.

yes, just run fastboot boot recovery.img and flash the superuser zip there. dont listen to people that say "just unlock bootloader!" because you dont need to and it sets a tamper flag which can be used against you if you try to warranty.

I want to avoid unlocking the bootloader simply because I have everything set up on the phone the way I like, and do not want to wipe it. I know I should have rooted it before installing anything, but nothing I can do about that now....

I'm a bit lost here....
To root the phone with locked bootloader, man has to have an "exploit"...which is not discovered (yet) for OPO.
And now you are saying that the exploit and hence an unlocked bootloader is not needed and we can just push SuperSU into system via adb....
Please elaborate how it's possible?????

What he said. The OPO does not need a "exploit" to root the phone with a locked bootloader because you can unlock it simply by typing a command.
You can't flash SuperSU without having access to a custom recovery such as TWRP/CWR which requires a unlocked bootloader.

I think you mixing the things up.... I'm NOT talking that a man needs to have an exploit in order to unlock bootloader.
I'm wondering if OPO system (or better to say CM) designed in a such way that it can be indeed rooted without exploit and with still locked bootloader by simply pushing SuperSU.
That what I want to hear from @The Jack of Clubs.

No you cannot root the phone without a exploit with a locked bootloader. If that was the case, then the OPO would not be Google certified for Google Apps.
Still need a unlocked bootloader.

That's exactly what I was reading and thinking for years.
But somehow, @The Jack of Clubs got probably a different idea (referring to his post #3 : "yes, just run fastboot boot recovery.img and flash the superuser zip there. dont listen to people that say "just unlock bootloader!" because you dont need to and it sets a tamper flag which can be used against you if you try to warranty.")
That's why I got so exited and anxious to hear some explanation and elaboration from him!
You do not need to unlock the bootloader to root. The locked bootloader only protects the kernel and recovery partitions. Do not run "fastboot oem unlock" and do not run "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Instead just run "fastboot boot recovery.img" and flash the supersu zip from there. I've done this already. I know because I'm writing this on my rooted and bootloader locked oneplus.

Thank you very much for some enlightening
I know about the recovery trick, always was doing this way and never bother with the custom one.
But the information about the rooting in a such way comes to the big surprise!
Well in this case I just hope it's not a flaw in CM build and it will stay this way and won't be fixed in next OTAs

I did this... It works. Installed SuperSU using this method, I"m running Titanium Backup Pro, which requires root.
having read and write access in an alternate environment and being able to load a kernel in untrusted space kind of negates the point of the locked bootloader. which is why on something like a nexus 5, you have to unlock to root. its a security measure to block alternative access and destroying data when tampered. the international/cyanogenmod version of the phone may be running a different version of the bootloader that is on the chinese/coloros phone. you do see a cyanogenmod logo when booting into fastboot. so cyanogen may have an alternative fastboot that gives you access like this so you can mod you phone.
as far as root goes, theres two parts, the su binary which has to be copied to the system partition, and the app that gives root permissions to apps (a sudo app). you can install supersu from the playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en but it doesnt do anything without the su binary. so when you are in recovery, which gives you full write access to the system partition, you flash the superuser zip, which copies the su binary to the system partition.

I can confirm that this method definitely works. My Oneplus is rooted, I never had to unlock the bootloader and my data is safe. Thank you!
I really think that this thread has to go to the General from Q&A and has become sticky.
Also these findings has to be communicated to @Chromium in order to enhance his Guide
This method works, I can confirm also.
Fastboot boot recovery.img
then install the su.zip file
MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP WHILE YOU ARE IN TWRP!!

Isn't that we are able to lock the bootloader on OPO after we unlocked it ?
Hello guys,
I've got a huge problem and I'm working on it for many hours.
I had those touchscreen issues you guys definitely heard of, well, I contacted OnePlus' customer service. They send me a patch to fix the touchscreen issues. So I tried that fix, but now the phone won't do almost nothing..
There's not an OS on the phone now, although I can boot into fastboot mode and in TWRP recovery. The patch wiped all my storage, including my internal storage so I haven't got any ROMs in my storage anymore.
I can't flash anything via Fastboot because the phone indicates that my bootloader is locked, I think that's strange because I had it unlocked before.
The big problem is that I don't know how to fix my device.. I really hope you can help me, because I'm getting really desperate now..

Someone else will have to verify as my OP6 is still shipping but..
YES, OnePlus 6 should still be able to go complete back to stock as it always has.
The same procedure as the 3, 3T, 5, 5T will likely follow:
if you flash a complete stock rom such as (this is a OP6 stock rom): androidfilehost.com/?fid=674106145207488340
then while booted into fastboot mode: fastboot oem lock
This is a standard procedure for OnePlus devices and I'll test it out once I get mine.
The rom i linked to is the stock rom, an OP moderator linked to it.
And the fastboot command is just a standard command. So unless they decide to screw their main audience this time around, :good:.

Obviously you have to have you bootloader unlocked.
What are you trying to say? I can't follow your sentence structure. Please use proper English structure... or remotely proper...
You're claiming that with the OnePlus 6 you can no longer sideload roms? What??? That would be a HUGE slap in the face to us.
I wouldn't believe what this guy is saying.
I'm not claiming I factually know that the OP6 can be unlocked through that method but it is highly likely it is. As said, I'm still waiting on the OP6. If OnePlus doesn't allow these things, re-locking bootloader and sideloading, they're FU***** all of us over and I'm sure would suffer major backlash from the user base.

I learned the hard way. Soft brick in the first hour of ownership.i thought I really broke something until eventually a few others reported on it. B
Op I would wait
I just relocked my bootloader with no issues. I uninstalled magisk through magisk manager, reboot to completely remove, then factory reset, boot into fastboot and relock. No issues. Note I didn't use twrp. I was still on stock bootloader.

Certain I did something wrong. But I tried the same thing initially and would bootloop to recovery after factory reset. Wasn't a biggie learned about the new a/b system in the process
Somewhat related question:
If you relock the bootloader, does Widevine go back to L1?
One user reported no. Is it really a permanent change of the Widevine status to unlock it?
I might be able to deal with 480p netflix, but if I sell this phone someday it sucks for the next owner.
No worry just try mega unbrick guide used it to relock bootloader and flash stock hydrogen os it can recover your device from even hardbrick I tested it for safety it works like charm so I recommend you that
Can anyone who has unlocked and re-locked their bootloader check their Widevine status in DRM info?
I have relocked because netflix quality was to low on when unlocked. When i relocked i got the drm lvl 1 back so it works

What's the procedure to re lock the bootloader and revert to stock recovery along with no root.
I unlocked the boot loader, installed TWRP and Magisk but would like to go back to stock. Any help will be appreciated

Reinstall your rom ( i believe 5.1.6 ) to get rid of TWRP & root
Factory reset
Then on fastboot " fastboot oem lock"
Data & internal storage will be wiped
Which means post following the steps origins bootloader will be locked and I will not get the warning again right at the start of the phone
All you can do is try but first make a Nandroid just in case this falls through
Hi, I want to lock my bootloader after recently unlocking it on my OP6 to install Oxygen OS as was originally on Hydrogen OS. If I use CMD and type fastboot oem lock, what are the risks of the phone going into a boot loop, and also, does the factory reset revert the phone back to Hydrogen OS? Cheers.

Lock as you unlocked in cmd by typing lock instead of unlock. It will make a wipe, so I recommend make backup before.
