Nothing, all the command does is set the phone back to S-ON. You have to be 100% stock, and I mean 100%, otherwise it can possibly brick the phone
@EddyOS: I know, you must hate me, I keep asking you the same questions in different threads.
Why everything stock? Isn't it enough to revert those things protected by the security flag back to stock? (e.g. radio) One can have a custom ROM, recovery and unlocked bootloader staying S-ON, the phone is fine with that, so why should it be important to revert those things to stock?
Thanks.

Don't ask me why it's just a lot of people have managed to brick their phone cause they've had a custom HBOOT (to remove the red writing), forgot it and bricked the phone
@an0ther: I'm not sure I understand what you said. You mean that even if you reset everything to stock (including s-on and the "tampered" banner) HTC will still be able to read another internal "tampered" flag? Or what else?
@EddyOS: thanks, so you are basically saying I am correct, and reverting everything to stock is a precaution to make sure nothing (like the HBOOT) has been forgotten, right?

Yes. If you're certain it's stock then go ahead. Just remember you have been warned so on your head be it
because if i want to get OTA updates, i want that everything will be stock(recovery stock,s-on,unroot)
You don't need to be S-ON to flash an OTA, just stock with everything else (I know cause I flashed the new OTA manually the other day and it worked fine
)where i can find the ota updates to flash them in my htc one m8? and how i can find my ruu of HTC ONE M8?You don't need to be S-ON to flash an OTA, just stock with everything else (I know cause I flashed the new OTA manually the other day and it worked fine
there is a new ota that size 70 mb with some improvements and i want to flash it like you said

Yes, there is no way that HTC will not know that you have messed with the phone. You don't need s-on for ota updates, in fact, if you are s-off, you don't even need to lock your boot loader. Anyways, you can just dl ota updates just as easy.
At&t 1.58.502.1
I have this version of software for AT&T, and I would like to know: If I remove tampered flag and reset to locked and S-ON and then restore using a SIGNED RUU EXE FILE for this software version, will I be ok (as in not get a security warning and look 100% stock)?

Guys, In order to lock bootloader, all you need is S-OFF.
to LOCK your bootloader,enter the following:
USE CMD
adb devices
adb shell
su (if needed to get a # prompt)
echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796
(i would very strongly recomend you copy/paste this)
exit
(exit a second time if you need to to get back to a normal > prompt)
adb reboot bootloader
verify you are now locked1
