This thread on AndroidForums has instructions for locking/unlocking the bootloader. S-OFF required, of course.
I would suggest contacting the Devs that posted Firewater. I haven't seen a generic "relock/RUU" thread in any of the M8 forums yet, but one may exist if you search them...
Sending mine to HTC. I'm sure they would notice if just the screen was different.
There's an Engineering HBOOT? (I thought that was the only way to "fake" the locked...)
I believe the op of this thread just modified the hboot with a hex editor. Worked perfect for me none the less.

hopefully you went with the first response =]
Dodge has the right idea, try new things and live life and try this at your own risk if successful you will make the OP =] and be famous lol
"2)reset your "lock status flag"
to LOCK your bootloader,enter the following:
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 locked

I can confirm that the UNLOCK works on a Verizon HTC One M8 device. I just did this to mine after having used "fastboot oem lock", which changes the state to "RELOCKED", not "LOCKED", and I wanted things back the way the were before having run the fastboot command.
Hi! Following this guide got me stuck. Using the fastboot oem command on my European HTC M8 got me stuck in a bootloader loop: The bootloader shows "Tampered", "Relocked", "Security Warning" and I cannot get back to the recovery. When I enter the recovery command, I come back to the same bootloader screen with the "Security Warning".
What can I do now? In this mode, I cannot even use ADB, unly fastboot. ist there any fastboot command to get me out of this?

It will help you to lock your bootloader with a flag LOCKED, not Tampered or Relocked.
