[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

I see that TrickDroid is out but if is flash it will i be able to get back to my stock rom?
I searched so many threads and could not find any descend thread where it says it all, All these terms CID, Hboot, RUU, boot.img is so complicated to understand, please tolerate my noobness and kindly please help me.
Thanks in Advance

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

I have attached the stock recovery enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

You say it's unlocked but it is locked as seen in the picture.
Anyway go to the development section, there is a sticky with RUU's and backups. Pick one up and give your phone a jolt.
