Yes.
Several discussions about it already in here.
To relock the bootloader is as simple as "fastboot oem lock" command.
There's a couple of different ways to get the root out, they're all mentioned in the thread for it.
but as of now no way to flash the stock recovery

If you apply the 2.3.1 update, it reflashes the stock recovery on every normal boot, doesn't it?
I lost "permanent" CWM when I did the update and went back to stock. You can still get to CWM via ROM Mgr or fastboot flash.

Some people had issues flashing 2.3.1 official using CWM.
2.3.1 is incremental so it doesnt include a full recovery

2.3.1 may not include a full recovery, but it includes patches to the boot image (boot.img.p & recovery-from-boot.p) and a script to install the patches on each boot if the recovery is not stock.
The script is /etc/install-recovery.sh and here's what it does:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
if ! applypatch -c MTD:recovery:2048:8fa462e56115c0bf8141c3879afc8966a2b1c7f0; then
log -t recovery "Installing new recovery image"

else
log -t recovery "Recovery image already installed"
fi
can someone explain how to do it step by step im new at this ?
ok i managed to lock the bootloader but im still not sure how to unroot the device !

It's in the FAQ that is stickied at the top of the forum here...this is always a good place to start when looking for answers.
Here's the relevant section with links:
Q: How do I root/unroot the Nexus S?
Check the development section links below for more detail, but you gain root on the Nexus S by booting the phone into fastboot mode and typing "fastboot oem unlock." This will wipe your phone and it's SD card partition. To unroot it, again boot into fastboot mode and type "fastboot oem lock."
Step 1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878786
Step 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875875
In the event you want to return to stock, simply flash the NAND backup found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884093 . This will restore everything, including the stock recovery image. Then as mentioned above go into the bootloader/fastboot mode and enter "fastboot oem lock" in ADB.

If that doesn't get you going, let me know specifically what's confusing you and I'll try to help.
For me, on 2.3.1, I think I would just use adb shell to rm or uninstall the superuser.apk (/data/app/com.noshufou.android.su-1.apk (might be different name on yours depending on version) and then to rm the su binary (/system/bin/su). Then I'd reboot the phone to make sure the recovery was stock, then I'd fastboot oem lock the phone.
Flashing a nandroid might be easier for you.

Not that I'm aware of!
Wish they would...I miss having a nice stock image from a trusted source to go back to, but other than root and CWM, I haven't messed with the OS; Gingerbread's fast and sweet enough for me for now.
I don't care for some of the apps though, the gapps camera sucks by a long shot compared to Samsung's SGS camera app, for example.

Normally I would do CM, but Im not a fan of alpha stage builds, ill wait for beta and then do nightlies from there
Hopefully the CM team take care of issues like the camera, and such
EDIT: never been a fan of CWM, hope Amon_RA releases a recovery

the stock recovery does not allow you to flash custom/unsigned roms or other files for that matter.
so a custom Recovery is required, as of now the only one I believe is available is ClockWorkMod
got it all working now thanks to you and distortedloop .
thanks a lot guys.
Here is a quick step by step on rooting the EVO 4G Gingerbread 2.3 with Hboot 2.16
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step One: Download SuperUser zip & copy to your root of SDcard
Step Two: Download and install HTC Drivers
Step Three: Download Revolutionary: S-OFF & Recovery Tool (Note the download link is at the bottom of the page. You will need to enter your EVO’s Serial number which is located under the battery. Make sure you to copy/write down the beta key. You will need it later)
Step Four: Enable USB debugging mode & fastboot on phone (To enable USB debugging go to Setting – Applications – Development – check box for USB debugging) (To enable fastboot go to Setting – Power – check box for Fast Boot)
Step Five: Connect you phone to you PC - Select USB Charging
Step Six: Unzip Revolutionary tool and run it as admin (to run as admin, right click and select run as admin) (make sure you install recovery image when asked) (Note after the tool is complete you may be left in fastboot mode, this may happen if recovery doesn't flash or something goes wrong with flashing the recovery. If this happens just select bootloader then select recovery to see if you are able to boot into recovery. If you are not able to boot into recovery or it hangs try flashing AmonRA Recovery from bootloader.)
Step Seven: Boot into recovery
Step Eight: Flash SuperUser and reboot your device.
Congrats you are now rooted with S-OFF!!
FAQS
Q: When I run Revolutionary tool it just sits at "waiting for device".
A: Make sure you have HTC SYNC Closed and or Removed in order for this to work - Thanks @smallba
Q: I'm stuck at "zerging root" nothing seems to work.
A: Again make sure you un-install HTC sync and turn off your antivirus and/or firewall
Q: I keep getting invalid key. What am i doing wrong?
A: The beta key is case sensitive so make sure you get it right, try to copying the key into notepad to verify the characters. The Revolutionary tool will give you your device serial number, verify you entered the correct SN. If you are still having issues try regenerating the beta key. If all fails try re-downloading the tool.
Q: I'm having issues flashing anything from recovery.
A: If you are having issues flashing/loading new roms try updating ClockworkMod Recovery from market via rom manger or flash AmonRA that seems to fix it
Q: How do I flash AmonRa Recovery in bootloader mode.
A: Download AmonRa Recovery PC36IMG.zip to the root of your sd card. Boot the phone into the bootloader by powering the phone down, then press the power and the volume down buttons at the same time.Once the phone boots into the bootloader the phone will automatically recognize the zip file. It will ask if you would like to update, select yes and let it do it's thing and you will be good to go.
(Thanks @Amon_RA)
Q: Will this wipe my device?
A: No if you follow all the steps this will get you S-OFF, Custom recovery & Root.
Q: Will this work on the Japanese EVO is at HBOOT 2.15.001
A: YES - However if you have HBOOT 2.16.970.1 or higher you will need to downgrade. Thanks @SharpIS03
Q: Is it possible to get root from a mac
A: Yes via Linux VM. (Confirmed by @jd567890)
Q: Is it possible to restore everything to stock?
A: It is possible and has been confirmed (Thanks @jcallaway77). You can try downloading the PC36IMG file below rename it to PC36IMG and flash from bootloader.

Nice walkthough. However, I think they shut it down temporarily because the beta key generated for me isn't working... I know I'm entering it right I got the same key everytime. Hopefully it'll be back up soon.
Has anyone confirmed this?

*edit* I can confirm this work ,thanks for the guide

You can run MM ROMs, yes. There is one from Santod040 that is based off HTC Sense, and one by enewman17 that is based off GPe (Google Play edition)
There is no MM firmware however, until HTC releases it to us.
You can flash the latest 4.17.605.9 LP firmware, and run those above said MM ROMs

Need more info then "it fails".
Exact error or issue you encounter.
Pasting the terminal input and output here would be most useful.
Hard to instruct you any further from what little info you gave.
I'm doing it from the phone and there's no way I can copy and paste the results..... I tried to take a screen shot but that wouldn't work either. It doesn't give a reason it just goes to install and fails. Not sure how to give more info?

You don't flash it in recovery...
It fails because you aren't following the instructions given...
Copied from Santods thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62734094&postcount=2
Place the zip in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.
Put the device in fastboot mode
(Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)
Connect the device to the computer
Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (this puts the device in RUU mode)
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (rename file to firmware.zip to make it simple/optional)
It will say that the update did not finish, to flush again, so repeat the above step:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Important: the flash process halts at around 75% to 90% on phone screen! This is normal and a safety precaution!
The last few percent is the reboot, which is NOT happening automatically, so you get a chance to check the console output before reboot to make sure it is safe to reboot!
The bar will only fill up to 100% once you type the following command:
fastboot reboot-bootloader (this reboots the device to bootloader)

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

5. Push back the file by
adb push sde1 /dev/block

If it shows "does not have enough space", delete the original file by the files manager in the recovery first.

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.

The error is telling you exactly what you need to do - you need to update bootloader to the required version. If you are attempting to flash the factory firmware, the required bootloader and baseband files should be included in the zip file.

The screenshot you posted describes the problem. When you flash a factory image, it first checks the device bootloader and baseband versions to make sure they are up to date. If they are out of date, you get the error as shown:
Device bootloader version is 'mw8998-002.0059.00'
Update requires 'mw8998-002.0076.00'
You need to update the bootloader and possibly the baseband version.
The absolute easiest way to flash the factory firmware is with the Android Flash Tool. Leave your device connected to your computer, and go to this link. Allow ADB keys access when requested. Before you flash, make sure you click the pencil icon to choose options, as the tool selects Wipe Device and Lock Bootloader by default.
If you are still trying to flash your device manually, make sure your Platform Tools are up to date.

"FAILED (remote: Command Flash Error)" -- When flashing bootloader
When I was flashing factory updates on my Pixel 2 last night, I got an error at the first step (using the flash-all.sh method), when it flashes the bootloader: sending 'bootloader_a' (38728 KB)... OKAY [ 2.095s] writing 'bootloader_a'...

I don't say this to be rude, but if you don't know what you're doing, nor understand the basic concepts at play here, you shouldn't be tinkering with your phone.
It looks like the user who posted that thread was able to fix his issue by sideloading the OTA. Do you have a custom recovery such as TWRP installed, or is everything stock?
I can provide instructions on how to sideload the OTA later today, but I must emphasize how important it is for you to understand what you are doing, because doing something wrong could result in bricking your device.
Lastly, please don't call me "bro".

Ok sir i don't installed any custom recovery now my devices all things is stock
Alright. Here's how to sideload the OTA.
Connect your device to your PC.
Download Pixel 2 December 2017 OTA. You can also try the December 2020 OTA. Do not unzip or extract these files, you will use them as-is.
In bootloader mode, use the Volume + and - buttons to select Recovery Mode, then press the Power button.
You will arrive at a screen with a green Android and "No command". Hold down the Power button and click the Volume Up button.
You will now be in the recovery menu. Use the Volume buttons to select Apply update from ADB, then press the Power button.
On your PC, open a command window in Platform Tools. Use this command: adb sideload, insert a space, then drag and drop the OTA file you just downloaded into the command window.
Press Enter. The sideload process will begin. Once it finishes, you will be taken back to Recovery Mode. Select Reboot now.
Your device should boot into Android. At this point you should be able to reboot to bootloader and use the Android Flash Tool to flash your desired update.

Sideloading the OTA is actually the safest way to update, and the least likely of bricking your device.
As long as you're able to access bootloader, your device isn't truly bricked.
I understand your consternation, especially as it appears you're fairly inexperienced regarding this. Simply follow my instructions and you'll be fine. I'm trying to make this as easy and foolproof as possible for you.
