Now when you have access to recovery partition flash recovery img from fastboot:

Then boot to recovery and flash superuser apk as .zip file

[Q] Upgrade from Hboot 1.23 to Hboot 1.28

So, here is my question:
If I want to upgrade my Hboot, I need to flash stock (ICS) RUU first and then flash new firmware. I did this when I upgraded to 1.23. But now when I need to upgrade to 1.28 It says "relocked" and below "security warning". Only thing that helped me before was flashing stock RUU (ICS). But now I can not flash ICS RUU. Is there anything I can do except waiting stock JB stock RUU? Like, will it help if I flash stock recovery? Will it remove "security warnig" and boot into costum ROM?
I don't know how clear I explained my problem but I hope you get it
Thanks in advance!

First lock your bootloader , then In fastboot type fastboot oem rebootRUU, that will put you in ruu mode. Then flash the new firmware. Then fastboot reboot-bootloader, then unlock your bootloader again

there is a very detailed guide in the development thread, don't ask these things 1000 times... use search and flash the new firmware following the guide....

I have been searching all day but didn't find anything. I guess you didn't even read what I wrote. So please stop complaining, if there was somewhere the post that would help me, well, I couldn't find it. So get over it, that sometimes people post a new thread that has already been posted, this is a huge web site and sometimes it's not easy to find what exactly you need.

Thanks

thank you for your answer, and for not suing me for my post. I'll give it a try, I hope it will work

this is the guide man, it was in the first post.... you have to follow this guide to update your HBOOT, no need to flash a RUU....
this guide is taken from Shnizlon:
1. Download the ROM and place it on your virtual SD card.
2. Relock your bootloader via HTCDev.
3. Go into fastboot mode and type 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'.
4. Flash new firmware using this commend: 'fastboot flash zip PJ46IMG.zip' or using Y cable.
4a.On first time running the commend you will see FAILED, don't panic and just run the commend again.
5. Reunlock your bootloader via HTCDev.
6. Flash custom recovery using this commend: 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.
7. Download boot.img and flash it using this commend: ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’.
8. Use 'fastboot erase cache' to avoid boot issues.
9. Go into recovery and install the ROM.
10. Reboot your device and enjoy from JB!

[Q] rerooting after OTA update, cdma htc one v

Hi,
I need help. I did an ota update from htc to improve battery performance on my rooted phone. Now the phone is not rooted anymore. I'm still on stock ics rom, how do I reroot the phone again? Do I just follow the same procedures when I rooted it the first time? Thanks in advance for any help.

Performing the OTA update will cause boot loops with most of the custom roms such as CM10 and AOKP. To successfully run a custom rom you should revert to an older RUU then reroot the phone and choose the custom rom of your choice. Here is a link to the older RUU you need to be able to run most of the custom roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094373

if you have relocked the bootloader,u have to unlock it again.for this,place the Unlock_code.bin file u received from htc for unlocking ur bootloader the first time in the fastboot folder.(or the platform-tools folder,whichever u have).then boot into bootloader and go to fastboot.then connect phone to pc.then just flash the token using-
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
select yes on ur screen,ur bootloader is now unlocked.
now flash a custom recovery by placing the recovery_name.img in the fastboot/platform-tools folder and flash it using-
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
once recovery is flashed,flash this zip in recovery-

I'm still on the ROM the phone came with. I did not install any custom ROM after I rooted it first time. Do I reroot by doing the same procedures like I did the first time? i.e. unlock bootloader through HTC dev and use primo superboot to root.

yes
edit:just flash the zip i linked you to in recovery after flashing the recovery.u can also do the superboot way but this is more simple...

1. I don't use AOSP download CM11 from Original android thread and gapps. Then copy the CM11.zip and gapps to a folder on your sd card
2. take the boot.img from CM11.zip and paste it in your fastboot folder
3. Download TWRP 2.7.1 and paste it in your fastboot foldert and flash it fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and then fastboot flash boot boot.img and last fastboot erase cache
4. Go in recovery flash First CM11.zip then Gapps and reboot and voala

Help or Info Required with S-OFF and boot loader Locked

Hi Guys,
Yesterday friend gave me his m8 with S-OFF but boot-loader locked. Want to flash TWRP but the commands failed. I heard that twrp can't be flashed with locked boot loader. So can I unlock it again using htc dev or it will cause problem? Or any other idea.
Phone is not running any OS stuck in boot loop.
'Thanks.
EDIT: OK SOLVED. Re-unlocked with htc dev and everything is fine. Twrp installed.

AFAIK you should be able to flash twrp with s-off&locked bootloader-only fails for s-on&locked bootloader
however you can just download a proper firmware package ( unsigned ) for your device variant
remove all the content except android-info.txt
then rename the twrp.img to recovery and zip both android-info and the recovery.img
rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip and flash it in hboot
( put the zip in sd card formatted as fat32 then reboot to bootloader-hboot then it will ask you to update confirm it and you are done )
lock&unlock bootloader method but required root
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
also htc dev method should work fine but no need to unlock it imo

I see you've solved your issue. FYI, it's correct you cannot flash custom recovery (unsigned recovery image) with locked bootloader; and s-off does not bypass that restriction.
