[Q] HBOOT Locked but still able to root?

Hi,
i just want to understand something, i was S-Off ,CWR and rooted on my stock ROM. There was a new update so i installed the new official ROM found from here:
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.3_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_219990_signed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After that i installed again the CWR and rooted my phone again with no problem at all. I went to HBOOT today and i saw this:
*** LOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
RADIO-10.14.9035.01_M
eMMC-boot

and my question is how did i installed CWR and rooted while my bootloader is locked? Is the locked means that the bootloader can not been writen so i can not install the CWR?
Thanks.

Totally normal. Notice the S-Off part? You have a new hboot now, that's all. If you want extended fastboot commands you'll need to re-run revolutionary or flash the eng hboot. If you don't need them, then you are good to go. Just remember, S-Off IS S-Off

suprised s-off survied the RUU

Help installing Endymion - *** Unlocked ***, HBOOT 2.00.002, S-ON

Hi,
I am looking at installing the Endymion ROM however I haven't had much luck following any of the beginner guides and was wondering if anyone can help me through the process.
My phone says this on the boot screen:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
I believe I need to downgrade my HBOOT and then S-OFF before being able to install any ROM, however I cant find a guide that worked for my phone.
I was able to UNLOCK the device via HTCDev.
Please help.

Just flash the rom like any other then, extract boot.img from endymion and flash it using fastboot.
fastboot flash boot /pathtoyour/boot.img

@Kearns
Then you didn't do enough reading.... No matter how you cut it, jumping in without a firm understanding is dangerous.
Sooo you can downgrade still (follow the downgrade threads again) or carry on with your HTCdev unlocked phone..... and flash a recovery (don't forget about the boot.img)

HTC One S [S3] Stock recovery

Hello,
Please somebody to help me with "Stock recovery" for HTC One S , S3 version.
Thank you in advance

Hello guys,
Try this:
Step 1: relock the bootloader (start your phone in fastboot, open cmd, got to folder where are fastboot files, type "fastboot oem lock" )
Step 2: find your desired stock jb or ics online. http://filesdownload.net/showthread.php?70-HTC-One-S-(-RUU_VILLE-)-(-RUU_VILLEC2-)
Step 3: connect your phone to the pc in fastboot (make sure you have the htc drivers installed).
Step 4: run the RUU or stock file as an exe. An installation guide will follow, just follow it through.
Step 5: Now you are in stock ROM:good:
It should work after this!
On my HTC One S [S3] , CID HTC_032 works

You haven't bricked your phone, if it can power on at all it isn't bricked. Read my Evita FAQ thread and my How-To Guide For Beginners thread, both are in my signature, your answer more than likely lies within.

How do you not know? You should know what you're flashing to your device. To make it easy for you, you need to be running the unofficial modified version of TWRP 2.6.3.0 to flash KitKat ROMs. It did state that in my Evita FAQ thread. You'll find it in our Original Android Development section.

[Q] [q] htc one s vle bricked

Hi Team.
7 Days ago after several times to root my HTC ONE S, it was bricked at least I think.
I´m S-ON, no Root, no ROM, only unlock the bootloader. So when i try to start the phone It was stuck into the red letters behind the HTC ONE logo.
I was the last 7 days reading all the posts, tutorials and youtube videos I google. I make some trys to install the official RUU from the Europe as mi CID is ORANG309 from spanish company but I get the wrong CID error when I try.
Please could anyone confirm if my HTC is totally bricked or I have some expectation.

Well if you cannot find a working RUU then you should just install a custom recovery, install a custom rom, and don't forget to flash the boot.img.
You should be set.

Is this possible even being S-ON, CID ORANG309 and non root phone.
It will be GREAT

Sure it is okay. You only need to root when keeping a stock ROM on it. Most (all?) roms are rooted. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Being S-On means that you cannot change partitions, radio, bootloader, and have to flash the boot.img when installing ROMs. I would say most people who are using this phone are S-On, not that big of deal.
