You need either a unlocked bootloader or S-Off to root a device.
If you are rooted properly then you can certainly flash Custom ROMs.
Before that go to ClockworkMod Recovery and take a complete Nandroid Backup of your current Stock ROM so that you can flash back Stock when you need.

can i install custom rom without unlocking the bootloader or i have to unlock the bootloader?

You need a rooted device to flash Custom ROM. To get rooted you need to unlock the bootloader or make S-Off.
You said that you are rooted the device with S-off. That' enough you can flash any ROM.
Still if you are not sure you rooted or not just refer this guide:

i cannot unlock bootloader because kernal version 2.6.35.10 ruu is not available on htcdev

Press <power> + Vol Down type what is displayed on your HBOOT.
If your Hboot version is 1.08.xxxx or later version you may skip the RUU Process and try to unlock the bootloader.
Follow the guide, it will help you to root.

I have Hboot Version 1.03.0000

You need to Update the bootloader thru HTCdev.com
Follow the steps carefully and patiently and update the bootloader. For RUU you have to choose according to your country/region and carrier, which matches with. But be sure to chose the right one.
You need to have installed HTC Sync, Android SDK and Java Runtime on your PC, those links are available with Guide itself.
After updating the bootloader, you need to root the device. Then install ClockworkMod Recovery, which will help you to take the Nandroid Backup of your STOCK ROM.
Thereafter if you need, can install LINK2SD which will help you to install all your apps on your SD Card. So that phone's internal memory will be increased and you can see a considrable fast with the device.

as i told u my kenral verion ruu is not listed on htc dev i have already installed clockworkmod reccovery and lind2sd
i just want to install custom rom
all guides of installing custom roms says that u have to unlock bootloader to install custom rom

If you are S-OFF, then you can just install a ROM. There is no need to unlock the bootloader.

is there a way to unlock bootloader without htcdev

is there r chances to hard brick my phone while flashing custom rom?

Hi dear friend,
can you type exactly what is displayed on your HBOOT menu...?
I asked you already, but you didn't do it.....

Hi,
Since your bootloader says S-OFF, you can try any custom ROM.
Just refer the below link, If you like it just download the ROM and Flash it. See all the features listed there. It's not available with the STOCK ROM!....

Desperately Need help, no way to get back to stock HTC using RUU!

Hi guys,
Im on cm10 latest nightly atm,
and i need to go back to stock HTC rom, no root no nothing , just HTC, for warranty reasons
I used this RUU in the past to get back to stock HTC
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed
But now it doenst work, it gives me error 140, Before the error, the ruu shows me im going from 2.17.401.2 to 1.29.401.11
after that i get the error, that it has a bootloader error...
my bootloader is 1.12.000 atm
Can someone please help me get back to it ?
Also when i try to relock the bootloader, i get This : when using command: fastboot oem lock
I Get Failed(Too many links)
but after a reboot i get RELOCKED (security Warning)
Someone please help!

Go to htcruu.com and download the 2.17.401.2 ruu.
The security warning is because you have relocked your bootloader with a custom recovery still installed.

[Request]Guide for S-off phone

Hi guys,
I have searched a bit but havent really found a solid guide.
I just brought my gf a HOX, and I checked it was shipped with Ship S-off, CID11111111111, Hboot 1.12
Now when I looked for guides to install CMW, all the method includes unlocking at HTCdev and fastboot.
Now I understand I can skip the fastboot method with S-off, how do I flash CMW and custom roms? Do I just put in the CMW.zip fie into the sd card partition, go to stock recovery and flash it as update.zip?
My previous phones were the Defy (2ndinit method) and the droid razr (bootstrap), how do I get CMW with an S-off HOX?
Thanks all, dont flame me for not searching, I didnt find any obvious method :silly:

You should be able to flash it directly with fastboot using "fastboot flash recovery NameOfFile" command or you use one of the flash tools.
Edit: After installation of cwm you are able to install custom rom via recovery
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

You follow every other guide, just ignoring the bit about HTCDev as you don't need it

Not skip fastboot, just skip unlocking through HTCDev. You just can flash custom recovery via Fastboot, without unlocking youre device.
Edit: Sorry guys I didn't read your above comments.

Wow its that simple? Even if it shows "locked" on the top, I can just ignore that right?
Cool thanks

Yep, as you have S-OFF so already have access to the other partitions

of course it is simple! you don't even need to flash the boot.img every time you install a rom

How much would it cost to get this device s-off?

Am I doing something wrong here? The status is "Locked" but it is S-off

Maybe they sold me something that says Ship S-off but its actually S-on?

you have to unlock the bootloader to flash the recovery file... use HTCDev.com to do it

So what's the point s-off then???

You have to do it just once and from there on you can flash boot.img files from sdcard, without the computer. And you can up/downgrade your hboot as much as you like. At least I think it works that way.

If you really wanted to, you could still unlock you bootloader by using the command fastboot oem unlock I believe.

Try that, didnt work.
But I got it figured out after reading some Chinese websites.
Basically fastboot wont work because it is still locked, but S-off means you can flash any RUU.
So I downloaded a RUU flashing tool, then just put the custom recovery.img into the RUU.zip (with nothing else inside but the android.txt file) and flashed it.
Now I have CMW and I can flash anything without having to fastboot boot.img

IF your phone is S-OFF you don't have to unlock the bootloader, you can just flash things 'out the box'. Follow guides as if you've already unlocked the bootloader

So if someone wants to install the JB firmware.zip and have a CID of 11111111, should they change their CID to a compatible one or can they just add 11111111 to the androidinfo.txt and then flash it and it'll ignore the broken signature?
What if they need to flash a boot.img seperately (a repack for example), can they do this using fastboot without unlocking it?

ENG S-OFF and Radio S-OFF after rom upload

HI ANDROID DEVELOPERS
I have got a "little" problem with my desire HD. So Yesterday I unlocked bootloader at htc dev page, later I uploaded CWM, then I uploated ANDORID REVOLUTION HD ROM.
When I have done it I found out I don't have a ENG S-OFF and Radio S-OFF. How can I get ENG S-OFF and Radio S-OFF now? AR HD is working but wifi has an error. Please tell me how I can repair my beloved htc.

Make sure the battery cover is on properly.
What error are you getting?
Sent from a dream.

Batery cover is ok, wifi only "error" when I turn it on.
edit, I don't know what happend but wifi is working so my last question is How can I do ENG S-OFF and Radio S-OFF?

Check my signature. You got all the info you need to start. Make sure to check post#7 as well.
Sent from a dream.

If I have unlocked bootloader on htcdev I also can use aahk?

No. Relock the bootloader and then run AAHK. You don't *have* to do that to flash ROMs, though it makes the process a lot easier. You can still flash ROMs right now. Go to the post Teichopsia said and read about the difference between htcdev unlock and AAHK unlock.

Thanks for answers. I think this is last question, how can I lock bootloader ? Fastboot can do it?
Before locking I should upload stock rom and stock kernel? If yes where I can download best or maybe I can do it at android revolution?

To relock the bootloader, boot in fastboot, open a cmd as admin and then type:
fastboot oem lock
That's it. You should read relocked in hboot after rebooting bootloader.
Make sure that you reboot bootloader before checking success.

You don't have to run the Hack option again...what for? you are already running a custom rom. What you have to do, is to choose the o) option of the Hack Kit and then to flash the ENG S-OFF...
Radio S-OFF will only be possible reverting to stock as you say....that is pretty clear in the manual.

To sum up I must:
1Lock bootloader "fastboot oem lock" on andorid revolution
2Use aahk press "o" and flash the ENG S-OFF
3Unlock bootloader the same like on htc dev?
4flash orginal rom and kernel, later do Radio S-OFF
?
UMT need locked bootloader?
Sorry for my questions but I'm layman :c
