[GUIDE] Remove Tampered and set Lock/Unlock/Relock with Revone (requires S-OFF)

electronical · Jan 3, 2014

If you have successfully unlocked your HTC One M7 Bootloader, you will see the following text at the top of your Bootloader screen:

Code:

*** UNLOCKED ***

And, if you installed a custom recovery, it will change to the following:

Code:

*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***

You can get rid of your TAMPERED text and/or change your LOCKED, RELOCKED or UNLOCKED status. This guide applies to all HTC One M7 Hboot versions.

Minimum requirements:
1. Your HTC One must be S-OFF.
2. Your device must be rooted.

There are different ways of achieving the same results, but this is the easiest (and safest) method using a tool called revone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582. Note that revone is primarily intended to be used to S-OFF but it also has some very useful additional features, which are exactly what we're going to use here. You will find all the commands in the original revone thread but if you're having difficulties, then this guide for "noobs" should be helpful.

Stepwise procedure:
1. You need adb and fastboot. Download both in a single package: http://goo.gl/T6InE - credits to mike1986. Extract the folder "mini-sdk" and place it at C:/
2. Download revone: http://revolutionary.io/revone. Place it in your adb and fastboot folder, for example, C:/mini-sdk/
3. Connect your HTC One to your PC via USB cable. Boot up your HTC One and leave it on its homescreen. Test if the USB connection is working by clicking on the Start button > Run > type "CMD". This will open the Command Prompt window. From there, type:

Code:

cd c:\
cd mini-sdk
adb devices

You should see the serial number of your phone to confirm successful adb connection. This is what i get:

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>cd c:\
C:\>cd mini-sdk
C:\mini-sdk>adb devices
List of devices attached
FA36********    device

4. Now, you need to copy revone to your phone. In the same Command Prompt window, type:

Code:

adb push revone /data/local/tmp/

Here is my log to confirm that revone has been successfully copied:

Code:

C:\mini-sdk>adb push revone /data/local/tmp/
2893 KB/s (648208 bytes in 0.218s)

5. Now, open an adb shell by simply typing:

Code:

adb shell

You should see the following:

Code:

C:\mini-sdk>adb shell
[email protected]:/ #

If you see the $ symbol instead of the # symbol, type su (your HTC One needs to be rooted otherwise this won't work).
6. Use the Command Prompt to move to the folder where you placed revone on your phone and and set new permissions:

Code:

cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 755 revone

Here is what it looks like on my Command Prompt window:

Code:

[email protected]:/ # cd /data/local/tmp
cd /data/local/tmp
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp # chmod 755 revone
chmod 755 revone

7. Now, you can finally remove the TAMPERED text and switch between LOCKED, RELOCKED or UNLOCKED. Following from above, if you want to get rid of the TAMPERED text, type:

Code:

./revone -t

If you want to set the Bootloader as LOCKED, type:

Code:

./revone -l

If you want to set the Bootloader as RELOCKED, type:

Code:

./revone -r

If you want to set the Bootloader as UNLOCKED, type:

Code:

./revone -u

After you've made the changes according to what you want, you can now reboot the device and check if the changes have been applied. Type:

Code:

exit
exit
adb reboot bootloader

You should now be in the Bootloader menu and you can confirm the changes.

Make sure your phone is on its homescreen (not bootloader or fastboot). Did you follow step 2 and 3? Did you see your serial no. after typing adb devices?

Hi, I havev a problem during the procedure :

"You should see the following:
Code:
C:\mini-sdk>adb shell
[email protected]:/ #
If you see the $ symbol instead of the # symbol, type su (your HTC One needs to be rooted otherwise this won't work)."

I see the $ symbol, but when I type su, nothing happend, error " "su"is not recognized as an internal or external command"

I need to reflash a modded recovery to root device ?
I want to return 100% stock

EDIT : the response was : YES ! thanks for your work !

@electronical

thanks for this very easy to understand tutorial buddy

... Note that revone is primarily intended to be used to S-OFF (applicable only if you have Hboot 1.44)...

So does that apply only to S-OFF'ing or to everything?

EDIT: I found another method and I successfully reset the TAMPERED flag

By "... Note that revone is primarily intended to be used to S-OFF (applicable only if you have Hboot 1.44)..." what i meant is that you can use revone to S-OFF only if the device has Hboot 1.44, otherwise Rumrunner is required in order to S-OFF.

It's simple enough, but to avoid the remote possibility of anyone else having the same confusion, i have edited that bit of info out. However, it's important to keep in mind that you can't S-OFF with revone if your device has Hboot 1.54 or above. But if your device is already S-OFF, you can use revone to remove the tampered flag and lock/relock/unlock, irrespective of your Hboot version.

This is very useful and it works. I am able to S-OFF (Windows 8, 32Bits) and removed the "tempered" and change "unlocked" to "locked" just like original. Crushalot, thanks for this, but can you point out how I can remove the "red descriptions (the development purpose...)" on boot screen and the Tell HTC, please?
Wait to hear from you

Hi there, first of all amazing guide, I've been trying to remove all flags but seemed way too hard to do it

, but as easy as it may be I'm kinda stuck here. When I run the adb device command I don't get anything, it doesn't find any device :S any idea what's going on? Also, I'm trying to get my phone to stock for warranty purpose after I've done this if I have available the 4.2 or 4.3 update (I don't remember which one) and I run it through TWRP will this unroot the phone?

THANX http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Hi, I used the rumrunner hboot. Red banner removed. OK

I want to go back to 100% stock but I don't want to brick my device!!

I'm in 3.62.401.1 stock rom with the rumrunner hboot.

thanks

Thanks mate!

The "-s 0 -t" from revones description really had me disoriented, didn't seem to work, but your commands worked perfectly!

Thanks a lot!!

Pilch2k · Jan 29, 2010 37 0 0

Hi i followed the commands, I can get rid of the tampered flag but I get an error when I try ./revone -l

[email protected]:/data/local/tmp # ./revone -l
./revone -l
revone v0.2.1

revone failed (error code = -1)

Any idea?

I s-offed a while ago with revone. I need to send in for warranty. Just looking to get unlocked removed. I already flashed stock recovery. Do I need to have a custom recovery to run -l command?

If so, can I still flash stock recovery after I relock the device?
