There is no need to unlock. S-off is all that you need. It can do anything.

It actually would not let me flash recovery without having the bootloader unlocked again. It was disappointing and erased my data... grrr

You need root to get s-off. The only people who had root were people on the shipped rom when the phone came out. Every OTA since has not had root, let alone temp root that the shipped rom had. So you absolutely need HTC Dev unlock to get s-off, and yes if you havent done it yet, it will wipe the phone. Thems the breaks.

Not what I meant. I already had s-off and it relocked. It then would not allow me to install amon ra. I was asking if there was a different fastboot command to just change it to unlock now since we have soff.

I didn't have to re-unlock.

I asked about this in the discussion thread but was never answered.

I just fastboot flash recovery .zip

and HBOOT flashed my roms boot.img and I was back with the addition of S-OFF

I've flashed several Roms since, while my HBOOT still says Tampered, Locked, S-OFF.

Finally, since I'm on ICS, I flashed the Juopunutbear modified HBOOT.

Everything seems to be open and working fine without re-unlocking.

afaik if you did s-off and you're on GB firmware, you need the ENG Hboot to flash recoveries using fastboot commands, otherwise you have to use PH98IMG.zip's... but that's just what i see, i'm not 100%.
