Security warning

---

It's been awhile since I've had a chance to get back to xda, so when I saw the htc dev bootloader unlock method, I jumped at the chance to unlock my version 1.5 bootloader and be able to get root without downgrading. However, just a few days later, the Ics ota was released. I had

1. unlocked my bootloader VIA HTC dev method,
2. Flashed twrp from command prompt, and
3. Flashed Su from twrp.

In a nutshell, I had root but was on a stock 2.17 ruu (latest gingerbread ruu) and had root. In order to try to revert to stock, I used the command "fastboot oem lock" to relock my EVO (cdma) so i could ota update, because when i tried to with root, I simply was booted into twrp.

So, after locking (and also removing the recovery.img from my sdcard) my bootloader, I tried to ota, which only put me into my bootloader with a message under "relocked"(at the top of the screen in bootloader) which said "security warning". I've tried to run the 2.17 ruu when in fastboot (because it would only give me security warning otherwise) but there was pretty much no visible effect on my phone. The ruu said it ran successfully, but after booting up I still had Su, and none of my app data had been deleted. I also couldn't do a factory reset from the OS or from bootloader. If anybody could help me get to ics anything, or at least back to stock w/o root (,so i can apply the ota and go from there) it would be greatly appreciated.

As a sidenote, I haven't used the ruu.zip method (PG86IMG.ZIP).

You don't need to upgrade to ics to get a custom ics rom, if that's what your asking. Reunlock, and check out the development forums and find an ics rom that works with 2.17 (eg, cool sense, meanrom, homebrew, common sense [my rom lol]). Go ahead and flash one, and enjoy ics

Stay on 2.17 though, first rule: NEVER accept ota. It's kinda rule of thumb. I learned the hard way.

Sent from my EVO 3DMA with a little "common sense"

I assume you're s-on..

You said you tried the ota and it took you to the hboot. Did it upgrade your hboot to 1.58?

I think the security warning is due to having a custom recovery (i think)

Yeah I checked out some other threads (none for the 3d though) and they said pretty much that it did have to do with the custom recovery like you said. And you are right on the other two counts, but no, it didn't upgrade me to 1.58, I'm still on 1.5.

Alright, thanks! I'll try to re-unlock using the HTC method(I'm assuming ill need to get another unlock_code.bin since the one I used isn't working anymore for some reason). I'll post again and let you know how it goes.
