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?

can you type exactly what is displayed on your HBOOT menu...?

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!....

[Q] this my dhd stuck on the boot screen

Hey.
Today I was trying to follow this tutorial with my DHD to unlock the bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2367322
When I reached the end of the steps, the phone did not start anymore.

Already tried all ways to start, but failed.
when I connect to the pc, it makes the characteristic sound.
but when I try the "adb devices" says my device is not connected.
can someone help me?
thank you

Helo JJeamy!
Thanks for reply!
unable to fix as follows:
I formatted the sd card, as it had not seen the recovery, I used this tip XDA_h3n friend and installed the recovery by fastboot.
I downloaded the rom Android Revolution HD 9.2 and installed the recovery.
It worked perfectly!
But I want to install latest roms with sense 4 or 5.
Can you give me a safe procedure, please?
Thank you!
I'm sorry for ridiculous english, I'm brazilian ... jejejeje

yes you don't need to unlock bootloader again...because your bootloader is already ENG S-OFF (Engineering bootloader)..then your bootloader is already open or automatic you can accessed more than just unlocked bootloader
that's why i suggest you to flashing a stock RUU that are already rooted and modified by Phiber2000 that the link is in my previous post above..
if you did it before..than your bootloader will replaced to the version :

So did you try to contact Sunshine team as per the instructions?

yes no help from them..

You'll need to unlock your bootloader at HTCDev if Sunshine won't work.... And obviously that's not a good idea if you're sending it in.
Not sure what you can do... You're a bit stuck.

Flash an untouched firmware for your device version with external_sd method. It'll install the stock recovery.

[Q] Stuck in Fastboot

Sorry guys, I need some help here :/
As my HTC Desire 816 was unable to receive any OTA updates (I'm using a custom rom), I've decided to revert back to the stock rom.
What I did was:
1. Downloaded and restore using an nandroid backup provided by someone else (it was working fine after flashing) using CWM recovery.
2. Booted into fastboot, and flashed the 'Stock_recovery.img'
3. Relocked my bootloader using 'fasboot oem lock'
After doing these steps, I realised that my device is permanently stuck at the fastboot screen.
1. Selecting 'Recovery' only reboot the device back to fastboot screen, same as the 'Factory reset' option.
2. I tried flashing CWM, TWRP and Stock recovery, which didn't work.
3. I tried unlocking the bootloader again, but it failed when I tried doing 'fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin'
4. I couldn't find a RUU for HTC Desire 816 with the CID 'HTC__044'
...so basically I've no idea what to do now.
More info:

**RELOCKED**

Not boot and recovery after update to marshmallow

Hi guys
I downloaded an OTA update file and installed that on my phone this way:
-copy update file to SD card root directory
-rename file to "ptt.zip
-boot phone in recovery
-select "apply from SD card"
and after few minutes the phone rebooted and is staying on htc logo now.
that not boot to recovery as well
what should I do now ?
previews Build number: 4.16.401.13
current Build number: 6.12.401.4
help me please

Is your device S-Off ?
You can't do manual update on S-On device
and for now what I know you can't do manual Marshmallow OTA update on S-Off too.
You have two choice here :
Option 1 :
If you have relocked the bootloader or it is a S-Off device and don't have a microSD - read and follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
Option 2 :
If the bootloader is unlocked ...
Restore a non-rooted 4.16.401.13 stock backup and install 4.16.401.13 stock recovery, don't root, check and install OTA 6.12.401.4
All files and How-To, you can read here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

my device is s-on
and non rooted original rom with locked stock recovery .
what sould I do now ?
can I unlock bootloader and do option 2 ? or this requires s-off too ?

I don't know whether you can unlock bootloader in your current situation.
I suggest that you go for option 1, easier for you.
The only thing is you're going to lose all data in internal storage.
Same goes for option 2, unlocking bootloader will format data too.
Expand the thread that I linked in option 1 so you can read and understand more.
You don't need S-off for both options.

just a question :
can I do option 1 with a stock backup 6.12.401.4 ?

Read man ....
That's RUU 6.12.401.4 that will install 6.12.401.4 on your device.
No need for backup .. backup only for option 2
I'm on mobile, not easy to explain everything, you need to read what I linked you.
And I only can respond when I'm free.
