Hello guys!
My story is short I had rooted and unlocked bootloader on Android 4.1.2. Then i want to update, so i get moonshine s-off, downgraded hboot, ran RUU and installed updates. Now i have 4.2.2 and sense 5 of course. And now is my problem. I don't have root! What should I do? I tried to flash twrp recovery by fastboot but i getting always the same failure:
FAILED (remote: not allowed). Every thoughts about it?
When you RUUed you had to relock your Bootloader
Unlock your bootloader again then either boot twrp recovery or flash it
Then flash root again

I unlocked bootloader (by htcdev of course), then i flashed superuser. Should working fine, but Titanium Backup told me that don't have root rights...
PS. Of course, after unlock i flashed TWRP
PPS. Problem solved, just flashed SuperSU instead of superuser Big thanks!
Awesome

I have hboot 1.18, with bootloader unlocked using HTC Dev, and I'm running ARHD with stock kernel.
Revolutionary gives me the zerg root error, so I used HTC Dev method. But now I'm unable to use the tacoroot method because my bootloader is unlocked. I tried relocking the bootloader, but that gives me a security warning and I can't boot my phone normally without unlocking it again.
Can someone please tell me how to upgrade to ICS now?
I'm a noob and I don't want to experiment too much and brick my phone.

hmm by relocking you mean fastboot oem lock ?
that should not give security warning...
also before trying tacoroot ...you should flash stock recovery first...any GB stock recovery would do...(fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
I had a NANDROID backup which I made just after unlocking the bootloader and rooting my phone. I restored that backup before relocking (fastboot oem lock) but it gave me the security warning.
Also, what if I relock the bootloader and then run a BG RUU? Would that work?
Ok, so Ive relocked my bootloader and have no root. I didn't run RUU because I was on official rom already. Do I still need RUU? My Bootloader says relocked security warning?
Did you have a stock recovery before?
No because on one post it no need to change recovery
Just checked the bootloader and when I pressed recovery it took my to fastboot.
Did you purposely install a custom recovery? If no, you are good to go. If you have, you will need to run the RUU. OTA needs stock recovery.
yeah I installed through cmd. Do I need RUU
????
Couple quick question regarding locking the re-locking the bootloader.
First off I have the ATT One X rooted with TWRP Recovery. To go back to stock if I so choose, would I have to reflash the stock recovery then do fastboot oem lock before running the ruu or can i just fastboot oem lock the bootloader without flashing the stock recovery, then run the ruu?
I think I have to reflash the stock recovery first before relocking the bootloader. If that's the case, can someone link to the stock recovery img file?
I also read that if you're currently rooted and has your CID, you can update to 2.20 and root again...is that still the case?
Thanks

You can just fastboot oem lock, the RUU will take care of restoring the original ROM.

If you want to go back to stock just fastboot oem lock then run the RUU. This is what I did. You can then re-unlock the bootloader and install SuperSU to reestablish root. It's pretty easy. Keep in mind, once you go to 2.20 you can not flash boot.img or radios from TWRP. You have to use adb to flash the boot.img, then boot into recovery and flash the ROM.
If you go into the Dev section, one of the first threads covers this and actually has a guide so you wouldn't have had to ask a question.

So even though I have a custom recovery (TWRP) I don't have to flash the stock recovery before I relock the bootloader?

Here. You don't need the 1.85 RUU though. Just use 2.20 and skip the manual update from AT&T.

No, it's the opposite: You can't RUU until you relock. It will fail if you try.

Oh ok...gotcha...so fastboot lock bootloader then run the ruu...great.
Like I mentioned before...I just got a little confused because people on YouTube is also flashing a stock recovery IMG before running the ruu.

RUU will restore your recovery to the stock recovery.
Just keep in mind that once you lock your bootloader you won't be able to boot your phone until you run the RUU. So make sure you're ready to go with the RUU before you fastboot oem lock.
Hi,
I have little problem... I unlocked bootloader by HTCdev, S-offed by JuopunutBear 0.5b (with wire-trick) and install unbranded firmware RUU 3.32.401.5. Now I'd like to flash CWM recovery, but I receieve an error "writing 'recovery'... failed (remote: not allowed)"... I also tried to flash it by KGS Utility v8 and this didn't work for me. Can I unlock bootloader again by bin file generated by HTCdev? Somewhere who wrote that it possible to brick the phone, but few people did it and nothing happened. What can I do? Any ideas?

actually why did you use a ruu.exe for flashing a custom recovery?
it was an unecessary step
nevermind
if you still are on S-OFF flash 3.33 iniversal from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
follow the instructions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
then you can install a custom recovery
another way is to install 4ext updater(link in my signature)
from the app download and install the latest version of 4ext recovery
edit: just to know when you are locked or relocked you are limited to some fastboot commands
I was flashed RUU because I wanted to delete Orange PL brand. Yep, I'm still on S-Off.
Can I flash by fastboot "PG58IMG 3.32 unlocked.zip" file (~14MB) to my firmware what I have now? It may unlock bootloader?

probably you can use it via fastboot command
but it would better to flash it directly from bootloader
I updated FW (PG58IMG.zip unlocked) via Bootloader, flashed CWM via fastboot tools and it works!
@rzr86, Thanks for advices. :good:

Hi all !!!
As soon as I received my ZS551KL, I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted it.
I cannot update to Android 8 because my bootloader is unlocked, but I cannot found how to relock it for updating. I have tried fastboot oem lock and fastboot oem relock in fastboot mode without success.
Do you know how to do it?
Thank you so much :good:
You can flash raffyvito's modified Oreo zip, that way you get the stock recovery from which you flash the official Asus zip with the firmware updates, then you flash TWRP again and you're golden. You should check out his thread.
Hi guys. Do we have any news on how to relock the bootloader? Also can someone of you share the stock oreo recovery?
