!!SOLVED!! Brand new U11 says ***RELOCKED***

[HsHTCsen]

Hi

I just ordered a "brand new unlocked" U11 on eBay from a decent seller which arrived in an unopened package everything fully sealed and wrapped.

I want to flash TWRP and Magisk root which I have done with my previous M9 and HTC 10, however, I'm getting ***RELOCKED*** and ***Software status: modified*** in Download mode and Bootloader before I've done anything to it - see pics.

Its arrived with Android 9 on it and June2019 Security patch and I don't get any OTA's

I'm in Australia on Telstra network.

Am I OK to unlock Bootloader via HTC dev and flash TWRP and Magisk or do I need to RUU this thing?

Thanks.

no, just unlock the bootloader as you've done before then flash twrp, then flash magisk if you want root.
be sure to go into developer options and enable oem unlock for bootloader and usb debugging(do this before flashing twrp). and also flash magisk after twrp before you boot to system.

Thank you for the reply! I ended up emailing a recognized dev and what you just told me is everything they said which I have done and all has worked 100%.

Thanks again for taking the time.
