Ok so rooted and s-off'd my HTC one m8 using sunshine....put a custom Rom on it for a while....then put stock back on...well now I wanna put a custom on again....so I went throught the steps. Well when I go to put my identifier token through HTC dev, it says it's not correct or too long. Why is it doing it now and what can I do?

Ummm, not sure what you were doing, but just flash a custom recovery and install the zip from there.

But the boot loader is locked

Once you are s-off'ed you don't need to unlock your bootloader again.

Seriously? I didn't realize that...

I'd advise you to read my post in this thread a while ago.
Once boot.img was mentioned I was able to get it all working with a custom rom! I just didn't know what to look/search for!
First time flashing a custom, so I do appologise.
Many thanks

Can i relook the boot ?

Hi! wanna know if i can relock de boot of my Moto G? is there a way? thanks!
Why would you like to do that??
That will wipe the device and will not get your warranty back..
For answer yes it should be possible to lock the bootloader

The bootloader is locked, you'll have to unlock it first. If you just follow the guide on how to unlock the bootloader that has been posted in this forum, you should get it done easily.

Do fastboot flash boot boot.img
make sure its the boot.img from the rom you were/are currently running. The phone will reboot.

The answer to your question is No.
so how do you update to 8.1 while rooted? Thx
edit: figured it out. Edit the flash-all script and take out the -w and just have 1 space there. go into bootloader and flash it. reboot back into bootloader after and fastboot boot twrp then flash twrp and magisk.

No idea. Still trying to figure this out, currently trying to flash the .img like you said with the toolkit. But thinking maybe flashing the whole 8.1 ROM. Should work ......I think ...:cyclops:
you dont need the toolkit for that.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
let phone reboot then you can use skip toolkit. get the latest one that supports 8.1
Doing the above gets rid of the red triangle error "device is corrupt"
