Follow the last part of the bootloader unlock guide at HTCDev.com, all you need to do is reflash the unlock token you were given from HTCDev.
Do keep in mind reunlocking your bootloader will completely wipe the internal storage, all your apps and data not on the SD card will be deleted, so do make a backup of your files

You need to unlock bootloader from htcdev then you will be able to root.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using xda premium
he has s-off , no need for unlocked bootloader ! just run root from superoneclick found at here ... you'll guide yourself after downloading the file believe me ! It is the easiest rooting tool i ever seen !
Must be some kind of problem if he's s-off and it says locked oow.
Just double check in your bootloader and confirm if it says s-off or s-on.
If your s-off as I am then it should not say anything about locked or unlocked.
It looks like you successfully updated the bootloader [*** LOCKED (OOW) ***] but didn't finish the procedure at htcdev to get it unlocked. But in any case, it should root because you have S-OFF already.
SuperClick Root thing doesnt worl.
And yes and it is s off
have you tried zergrush, too?
Another theory would be, that the locked bootloader "overwrites" the S-OFF behavior somehow. You have 2 choices.
1) flash a hboot 1.08.0000 or whichever you want that is not from htcdev
or
2) finish the htcdev process and get your bootloader unlocked.
Hello i'm the person vinnyt is talking about, that is having the problem with rooting the HTC Wildfire S, it is a marvelc cdma phone from Metro pcs (USA service). I first used HTC Wildfire S - Unlocking Bootloader by Mstechify on youtube and i did this like the 2nd day i had my wildfire s and the first time i had an htc, so i had no idea about htc dev at the time, but anyway i did this method and i followed all the steps until the end when the program tells you to press any button to reboot, what i did was unplugged the phone but i noticed i was not rooted so i went to the the boot loader and noticed it said locked oow and it said s off so i tried almost all the root methods and tried to use htc dev, and htc dev just tells me that its the wrong RUU program so i don't know. Guys please help me all I want to do is temp. root to remove bloatware please help. thanks.
You need to unlock bootloader!

Did you tried out the the HTCDev.com Process.
HTCDEV.COM --> Choose Model --> Update HBOOT --> Now says "Locked OOW"
---> then Get the Token as directed by the HTC DEV.Com --> paste the token in textbox in htcdev.com ---> you got "unlock_token.bn" --> flash that using "fastboot" --> you got as "*** UNLOCKED *** ",
I hope that there is Nothing bother about S ON or Soff., My device is S-ON but Hboot is in "Unlocked" state, I already Flashed out Custom ROMS . Try out that
if you are s-off use simonsimons utility to unlock your bootloader and fastboot flash a custom recovery, then flash the superuser zip for full root

Hi guys,
I just updated my HTC M8(european) to Lollipop and after updating i hardreset the phone, which caused that all my photos and videos are wiped out. As I understood, undeleting files requires access to root and rooting is not possible without unlocking the bootloader. As I found out, it is only possible to unlock the bootloader by the HTC provided token and my question is:
1) is it possible to re-lock the bootloader as the original?
2) if re-locking requires S-OFF, is there any other option then the 25 USD sunshine?
Thanks in advance!

1. No without S-OFF
2. Sunshine doesn't work with Lollipop yet

1. Try "fastboot oem lock" from bootloader
My M8 is also S-ON and I could relock with this method.
You will have "RE-LOCKED" message in bootloader.
I didn't mention that as they said they wanted it locked as it was originally, which can't be done without S-OFF. But yes, you can relock the phone using the above command

htcdev - last option from list - "All Other Supported Models".
Hello guys, I have had my htc one m8 for a while now and wanted to root the device. After looking through many websites, i realized that you had to unlock the boot-loader. However, when i went to check my fast-boot, i saw that the boot-loader was locked but instead of being S-ON it was S-OFF and i can't unlock the boot loader using htcdev. How do i unlock the boot-loader with s-off?
Kind regards,
Arbaaz
What happens when you try to unlock the bootloader by HTCDev.com? S-off shouldn't prevent you from doing so. If you are having issue with unlocking the bootloader, I have a feeling its due to other factors, not s-off.
Since you are s-off, you can use the following thread to manually change the bootloader flag to UNLOCKED: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
Another possibility, is if the phone was s-off by sunshine, the device would still have a valid sunshine license. Just install the sunshine app, and see if you can unlock the bootloader using the app (no HTCDev.com process required to do it this way).

Hi
I managed to "Relock" my Unlocked bootloader of HTC One e9 (please don't ask why ) The phone is S-OFF, rooted with fully working TWRP recovery. How can I unlock the phone again.
I've tried the following with no success :
- command "fastboot oem unlock"
-to flash the Unlock.bin again
-the method from this topic https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
Do you have any other ideas?
Thank you!
hmm... What about trying to unlock it in the RUU?
I just relocked my phone then unlocked it again with the same Unlock_code.bin and the same instructions from htcdev unlock instruction page 4 in download mode. So yeah, it works.
My phone is S-ON though, but I doubt that it matters.
