According to your bootloader details you are at a good starting point. Here is what I recommend you do from here:
1. Download a custom recovery like TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558503
2. flash this in bootloader mode. If you don't know how here is the help thread you need to read through:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593382
3. Once you have a custom recovery installed, you can flash SuperSu or other root app (google is your friend.)
4. Stick with the rooted rom you have or flash another of your choosing.

Not impossible for you because your bootloader is unlocked and you are S-Off. You are always able to root and flash.

Hey, I have the same bootloader setup but i am unable to flash a recovery

Why are you using a toolkit to flash recovery???
Just download from http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita
or download the unofficial TWRP from the original android dev section if you plan on flashing an AOSP or CM based Rom and then fastboot flash recovery recovery_filename.img
Easy peasy. Too many links is an error that should have nothing to do with flashing recovery...

You need to type the filename of the recovery file you download. Either the recovery filename you are typing is wrong or the file is not in the folder you are trying to flash from.

Its easy, it requires ADB drivers instaled in PC and ADB commands to execute.
So, in TWRP you make a full WIPE, format data also.
Then you reboot recovery and over advanced you activate adb sideload.
Then connect phone to PC and send the zip file with command:
adb sideload name_of_the_rom.zip
Then just wait ADB send file to phone and then Recovery start flash of ROM .

With TWRP it works, i tested, other Recovery i dont know if they have sideload option.
Relative to OTA yes, with stock recovery you can have OTA. But i dont have stock recovery from this one since dump dont contain firmware.zip
Dont know if firmware.zip from 2.24.709.1 it will do the trick, but sincerelly i dont wait from OTA updates, its a loss of time

Thats correct, i did not know Mike already put the firmware zip, thanks for tell me in
Another thing, you must unlock bootloader to flash TWRP.
If needed you can have S-OFF and flash latest RUU x.xx.401.x and you are good to GO.
Cheers
Would this work with T-Mobile/AT&T versions?
Also sideloading doesn't touch the "sdcard" content right. We would just need to do a factory reset.

[Q] one xl bricked need help

I have a one xl cid rogers001 hboot 2.14, baseband 0.23a.3 2.09.29.... jb 4.1 with sense 4+
I tried unlock bootloader by htcdev => ok

so i relock my device, and tried to flash this stock rom using adb : OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Rogers_WWE_3.17.631.2_0.23a.3 2.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_299850qstr7rxdbfuofl 6j.zip (was found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119610)
On cmd via fastboot i type fastboot erase cache =>ok
fastboot oem rebootRUU => ok
fastboot flash zip "filename.zip" It says " (remote: 12 signature verify fail") in the end cmd
What should i do now?
Thanks for reading and help me pls!!!!
Ok, first mistake is that you thought you needed to be rooted to flash the Viper ROM, you don't. All you need is an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, which you had. You were probably stuck in the bootloader because you forgot to flash the boot.img from the ROM zip with fastboot, you need to do this because you're s-on.
The next mistake you made was attempting to flash an OTA. I don't know what made you think that you could do that but it definitely wasn't found in this forum (or anywhere for that matter). An OTA is only a partial OS, it relies on the correct stock OS to already be installed on the device to build on top of to update the existing OS. It failed for obvious reasons.
Unlock your bootloader again, flash a custom recovery again, and flash the ROM again. Make sure you flash the boot.img this time and it should boot right up. I'd strongly recommend you read the Evita FAQ thread and the How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature. Diving into modifying your device without the proper level of knowledge is a really bad idea.

Did you perform a factory reset from the bootloader at some point? If so you've corrupted your sd card, you should never perform a factory reset from the bootloader. If this is the case you'll need to use TWRP to wipe your sd card, then you should be able to mount it to Windows and use Windows Explorer to format. Once this is done you can for a ROM across again.
Exactly which build of Viper did you try to flash? What's the exact filename? Did you check the md5 before flashing?

yes, i did it more than once, now it's fixed, but when i mount it to Windows using TWRP, nothing happen, so i can't format it. and the same things when i tried to sideload. But in fastboot mode, it usual.

Yes, you can flash a custom Rom without root. He already answered that. I strongly recommend reading up on your device before flashing anything else. I'd suggest starting with getting your phone s-off.

I disagree. I think it's a better idea for him to get his head around the simple operations like flashing ROMs before attempting s-off.

TWRP install question..I'm on 4.4.2, Rooted, Unlocked

Ok, so I'm just looking for final confirmation before I install my TWRP2710-RAZR-HD_M-KITKAT image...going to just fastboot flash it on there using the files in my Motopocalypse folder, but do I need to rename some file in the system folder or something before I do this? Seems like I had to do that in the JB era and I can't find much for the KK version. Noob question I know. Do I just put my phone in fastboot mode and flash away or is there a step prior to that?

Not sure why you think you have to rename something to flash a new recovery. Yeah, maybe the instructions had you rename the recovery image file or something, but no. Just flash it per the instructions the previous poster linked to. It's really that simple.
Good luck!

The only thing about Flashify that I don't like is you need to be already rooted.
Otherwise, if you're not rooted, then you can't root until you put on a custom recovery, which means you need to use fastboot to flash CWM or TWRP and then sideload root. Then you'd be able to flash TWRP or CWM. Kind of the chicken and the egg conundrum.
Everyone should know how to do it via fastboot because you may not have root to install TWRP or any other custom recovery. It's always good to know how to do things from the command line because there may come a time when you have no other option.
running official kk on xt926 here.
can i install official cm11 nightlys after flash 2.7 twrp ?
I believe they can only be installed when they update them with the new kitkat bootloader. There are some builds by dhacker29 that I have tried that worked but are in progress. You would need to reflash back to JB bootloader to use the official CM11 nightlies.

i think it is because back in the day, correct me if im wrong, you had to rename the old recovery file so it wouldnt re-install.
but now that development has progressed, that is no longer necessary.

[Q] OTA bootloader update when rooted?

Hi guys,
I run rooted unlocked Nexus 5 with CM11. I wanted to update the ROM but it failed - I read a bit and found out that it is due to old bootloader version. I would like to update it but I'm not a friend with ADB and stuff.... It would be great to use the most easiest way. I got OTA update notification but have no idea what it does - will it unroot the phone? will I lose CM11 ROM? Just trying to figure out what backups and steps shall I do to update my ROM. How shall I continue from here?
Thanks a bunch!

Download the factory image and extract bootloader-hammerhead-hhz11k.img
Boot your device into bootloader:

You have a custom recovery installed, right? Flash the bootloader zip via recovery. However, you need to get familiar with adb/fastboot as you're gonna need them if you ever find yourself in a tight situation to fix your device.
Open the "must read" thread linked in my signature and find the thread which has all the info about adb and fastboot.

Thank you! I get it about ADB, I had to solve one my problem in the past via ADB. Anyway, I just need to find the 4.4.4 bootloader in ZIP (or probalby .img will work too?) and flash it? That's it? Does it wipe my phone or something?
You just need to flash the IMG via fastboot, no wiping required!

Alright. One more thing. Is it possible to convert the IMG file I have into zip to be able to flash it in TWRP?
EDIT: I found that Nexus Toolbox for my 5 has the option to flash the bootloader image so I will try this variant.

You don't need to. Just boot into fastboot, connect to PC, fastboot flash bootloader name_of_file.img, reboot, done
it's easy you must become familiar with fastboot and add the second you aren't it will come back to haunt you

I'm still waiting for someone to make a thread saying their device is "bricked because flashed fastboot to adb using bootloader while in recovery with x toolkit"

[Downgrade][S-ON] Downgrade by flashing older version of official RUU

Get the method from here:
https://bbs.htc.com/cn/thread-109059-1-1.html
----------
This method seems to modify the original system version number so that the old version of the RUU file can pass the checking.
--------------------
Backup your data before downgrading.
--------------------
1. Download the RUU file which is the version you need.
2. Reboot to download mode, then flash the TWRP via fastboot.
Unofficial TWRP for U11+: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-u11/development/unofficial-htc-u11-twrp-recovery-t3706264
Fastboot command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. Reboot to recovery mode, then get sde1 file by :
adb pull /dev/block/sde1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. Open the file with a text editor and change the version number, which is easy to found, to the version number of your RUU file.
5. Push back the file by
adb push sde1 /dev/block
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If it shows "does not have enough space", delete the original file by the files manager in the recovery first.
6. Flash your RUU file by entering into the download mode after copying it to the SD card.
Tested on U11+ China version, no problems found.
Hope this can help you.

You don't need to relock bootloader, but you have to get stock recovery.

I don't have ADB tools for Windows...
Maybe you can try this:

Tested. Ok on HTC__621 taiwan device.
Thanks for the guide. Does it work if you swiped to "allow system modification" in twrp?
HTC U11 Plus is base on android oreo.
I think you can flash ruu normally.
You can flash older version of RUU follow software number and it's same version android.
If you want to rollback from new version android ,this method is important.
Ex RUU 1.xx.400.x Android 8.0
Your devices is software number 1.24.400.x ,Android 8.0
You can use Ruu above for flash your device.

Of course, why I would find this method is to restore the modified system partition.

hi Sotong rom India_SEA 1.10.400.23 for what is CID?
Hey Guys, would this procedure work if i would like to return the phone to stock with custom rom??
By the way, is it possible to pull the sde1 without flashing the trwp recovery image?
I have tried to pull the file with the following steps and it is a success but not sure if the file is okay:
adb root
adb pull /dev/block/sde1
I can see the version number in the file with notepad++
Please advise. thanks.

How do you relock your bootloader???
I managed to flash to stock but the bootloader remain unlock.
Please help.
Hi all,
Managed to get reload the stock rom and re-lock the bootloader.
Thanks.
Do I need TWRP and SD card?
Can I just use fastoot/adb and flash from PC directly?
Also what images are needed? I only have boot system and recovery stock images. Is that good enough?
