About re-locking the boot-loader, what are the advantages?
Can you update over the air again? Will Google apps work properly?

First I tried to use the HTC super tool v3 to root my phone; that didn't work. I tried out the new "One Root for WFS" tool; all went well until I had to boot into recovery. I had already run into this problem once before when trying to flash CWM recovery. When I go to it, the screen just hangs at the HTC logo and I have to pull the battery to get out of it.
Why isn't this recovery working? Additionally, is there another way to obtain root without this recovery? (But I really just want a working recovery, to flash roms and make backups and whatnot.)

first of all your phone is s-on or not.and you unlock your bootloader through htcdev?

All I've done is unlock the bootloader through HTCdev. I assumed that was the same as s-off? The recovery seems to push through successfully, I've tried to flash it multiple times now.

plz hit thanks..
Hi all, I'm sorry to ask this question again, but after a lot of checking I can't figure this out.
I have Android 2.3.5 (3.12.405.x), the phone is S-Off with bootloader 2.00.0029, and locked. I need to unlock it so I can flash a recovery and then root the thing to use Titanium backup to restore data to another phone.
The HTCdev method wipes all the data, right?

If you are s-off you can just flash a custom recovery directly. No need to unlock the bootloader.

You got those error because remote flash only allowed on unlocked and engineering bootloader.
You need to use hboot patch to install custom recovery by putting that zip files in the root of your sdcard. Reboot to bootloader and it will ask for a prompt to update. I am not sure whether this method still applicable to new bootloader (2.00.0029).

Hmmm. It's hard to find the right information for newer hboot.
I'm creating a pd98.zip now with a custom recovery. I'll update on how it goes.

Yep I ran it on my sprint phone using the latest stock Nougat on Monday. Afterwards phone came back up with some weird encryption thing so I ended up ruu-ing but did achieve s-off.

No, I'm pretty sure you need to be rooted first before s-off if you're on nougat.
So,
1) unlock bootloader
2) flash TWRP and root
3) s-off using sunshine (25$)
Can i use the sunshine app to unlock bootloader on android 7 instead of htcdev
then use the app to s-off

As I mentioned, you need to unlock the bootloader and root before being able to use sunshine, so how can you use sunshine to unlock the bootloader if it's not already unlocked?
On Marshmallow you could do what you asked.
gotcha, I was trying to avoid using htcdev for unlocking bootloader

NO way around it now. I just got my HTC 10 over the weekend and went through the whole learning process you are. I think my phone was out of commission more than it was up and running all Sunday. Luckily it's pretty hard to brick.
I recently tried to relock the bootloader. All was successful, phone restarted, went to encryption screen but when i provided the PIN, it says wrong PIN. Not sure if there is any default PIN as the phone is not accepting the PIN which I kept.
Also tried to do factory reset the data via recovery mode, but the phone doesnt enter into recovery mode.
What should I do to get back the phone to original state.

You will have to unlock bootloader, and flash TWRP. i TWRP format (not wipe, format. the option which requires you to type yes) your data partition. Then flash stock recovery and relock bootloader. I have had similar issue when flashing custom ROMs with encryption enabled

Are you using HTCdev website for bootloader unlocking?
You can wipe your data partition in the HTC recovery menu, no need for twrp I think
