No, rooting it would not affect the unlock status, and yes it will still be unlocked if you flash a custom ROM as long as it supports it. Ex: if you flash an AT&T ROM, it will only work on AT&T

Make sure your device is updated with the latest firmware, or at least 1.57, because CyanogenMods kernel doesn't support anything below that now

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.

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.

I need some opinions I have a Verizon HTC one m8. I think I have been hacked. Reason why I say this is google sent and someone redeemed it.
History I unlocked boot loader with sunshine and rooted with towelroot. Is towelroot bad? Guess I learned my lesson to take out Sim and SD card when rooting
Things I have done changed all my passwords, ran cm virus,deleted towelroot, app locked all important, secured with pin
However my concern is something is running and killing my ram. I suspect this is the hacking piece any advice on finding this or other steps??

It does. Stock recovery too. But you will be rooted so you can download flashify and flash your custom recovery of choice. It would be a clean slate if you think you got malware.

You are s off so you will have whatever root app you desire until you turn s back on (don't do that?) You will have supersu already installed after running this RUU. If you aren't sure or want walked through it I can probably help later using team viewer if you want.

4. Run the ruu then boot back to bootloader to reboot right?
5.Use stock recovery to flash the stickers?
OK so it will still have root with super su right yes if u can help me that would be great!!!!!

Yes. Stickers fix is meant to be flashed in twrp after you reflash twrp so only one SD card needed there.
If you want to be able to flash your custom recovery from within the rom you can download and use the app flashify to do so.

Did anyone try out last night's software update? Any noticeable changes?
Initial observations: Up-gradation and initial boot up takes quite some time. What is more noticeable is the phone heating up during this process.
Found the OTA: (OTA_HIA_AERO_UL_M60_SENSE7GP_ATT_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.12.617.6-1.11.617.5_release_458832.zip) however TWRP nor stock recovery + stock boot will install it.

Hey everyone, I've been lurking around for about two months, from when I picked up this phone. It's still completely stock. Unrooted, S-ON, all that. Well, after the update to Nougat, I've been searching for a way to unlock the bootloader & root. Is it safe for me to use WinDroid Toolkit for the process? Just need a guide for the process, for the most part. I appreciate any help that anyone is willing to offer.

Go to http://htcdev.com and make an account, then follow the steps and unlock your bootloader from there. After that you fastboot flash TWRP using ADB, and then use TWRP to flash a root solution. I prefer Magisk.
Alright, just unlocked the bootloader, going through the process of setting up my phone once again. Do you have a link to the Magisk & TWRP programs that I can use? Also, should I put the TWRP file in the same folder as the fastboot files?
I greatly appreciate the assistance you've given me so far, I'm deeply grateful man.
Okay, so I flashed twrp, then the seSuperuser zip that was linked to in CaptainThrowback's thread. Now my phone is stuck in a bootloop, it won't go past the HTC logo with the red warning letters. What do I do now?

try this step by step.. :good:
1.Flash TWRP 3.0.3-8 via Fastboot.. Do not reboot into system, enter into recovery..
2.Do a factory Reset via TWRP.. Do not reboot into system
3.Now flash SuperSU 2.79 SR3.. Reboot into system..
couple of bootloops are common, do not give up for at least 3 bootloops..
It will take a long time to boot as you have done a factory reset..
So be patient and wait for at least half hour..

You don't flash firmware with TWRP. But you can use the SD card method to flash the RUU, which doesn't require a computer.

Hello Guys,
I Have an HTC one a9 with 7.0, s-off, bootloader locked
I have some concerns before I root my phone
If I unlock the bootloader and root the phone, Will I have the option of phone encryption as it used to be ?
If I unlock the bootloader with HTCDev and flash the TWRP with SuperSu and boot file, it is a MUST to do a data factory reset? or I`m able to do all the process without loosing my data?
Thank you in advance

Unlocking your bootloader will wipe the device.
Hi all, I've been lurking and reading for 2 months, preparing to root my device. So this title fits my mood.
One A9, "factory unlocked version", S-on, running 1.57.617.60
Just did the actual unlock from htcdev so now data is erased. I'm re-reading the threads I saved to prepare, now that it's time to actually finalize what ROM I want to run, but now have a few questions before completing the plunge.
In past threads I read the newer MM and N security prevented rooting, and reverting to Lollipop was necessary. From what I read here that is no longer the case?
If I want to debloat the system I am already running, can I do that without finding a custom ROM to run?
Thank you

Yes, you can root and debloat Nougat. Though you should make a stock system image backup first of you ever want to receive an OTA again. The TWRP thread FAQ has a lot of information about this.
Oneplus updated the OnePlus 6's Bootloader and you may ask yourself 'Can i still root?'
The answer is yes. It is easy.
1. At first, your bootloader has to be unlocked
2. Just download the Twrp.img and the Twrp installer from twrp.me, then the latest magisk installer
3. Put the magisk.zip and twrp installer zip into the root of your device and boot into bootloader
4. Now you have to open a new shell or cmd window in your adb folder, then type "Fastboot devices" there
5. If your phone is recognized, then do this command: " fastboot boot .\twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img"
6. The op6 should boot into the TWRP, there type in your pincode, pattern, or what so ever you have. If you get a message because of system modification, click 'Keep read only'
7. Go to 'Install', then flash the TWRP installer zip, then magisk right after it
8. Just reboot and enjoy
The procedure is the same as always. I can confirm it's working because i rooted a few minutes ago
Just keep in mind the kernels and custom roms haven't been updated to 5.1.7 base yet and may not work until they are.

Sorry, I thought that would be helpful for people who are worried about root because of updated bootloader.
A Moderator can remove this thread then

Based on how things have been going so far, people are going to be asking. Just saying.
i understand butttttttttttttttttttttt this forum is flooded with how to flash twrp, how to root with 5.1.6, how to install 5.1.5 with twrp ect ect ect lol just trying to reduce clutter and make things a tad bit simpler. No offense guys lol
So if I already have twrp and Magisk installed is the method still the same?
Will this update lock the bootloader back?
Pretty sure I swiped to allow system modifications on my first twrp installation so will that matter?

Don't worry. You can use TWRP and your phone itself as always

So do I flash the update in twrp?
Must the bootloader be unlocked again?

No you flash in system via local upgrade

Flash with local upgrade, reboot to fastboot, run twrp.img, install twrp, flash Magisk and reboot? No unlocking bootloader again?
If not correct please tell me
Yup that's it

Flash in system.. you mean through the system updates in settings? And then I have to reinstall TWRP?

What were the steps you followed if you don't mind?
Maybe someone will upload the full rom?
anyone tried hiding system updates inside magisk hide ?
it now shows only 224 update (canadian vpn), hence don't know what it will do when you take that route, anyone ?
