I got s-off by the wire trick and it worked only thing now is my bootloader is now locked not relocked but locked.
I was wondering since with s-on and the boot loader unlocked i had to fast boot kernels and flash roms via recovery.
With s-off but the bootloader locked does that mean i can flash roms and kernels at the same time in the recovery or do i need to unlock my boot loader again to do that?

This is not an emergency...I am in no hurry, but I would appreciate some helpful advice.
I have a Sprint HTC One...I have S-Off which I gained by using revone. (I unnecessarily locked the bootloader after gaining S-Off.) In the months since I did this, I replaced twrp with the stock recovery to take at least two updates. (Stupid, I know!)
I am now unrooted and cannot boot into recovery.
What is the best way to regain root without htcdev?
I have tried this guide...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475902...but I cannot get su permission in adb shell.
Bootloader screen:
***LOCKED***
M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
CID-SPCS_001
HBOOT-1.55.0000
RADIO-1.00.1108
OS-3.05.651.6
Thank you for your help!
You must unlock your boot loader, then flash the recovery you want. To unlock, since you are s-off, you can do that without the htcdev approach. Just read through the q&a faq thread. The instructions are all in there.
BTW since you are S-OFF there is no need to re-lock your bootloader to take the OTA/update your firmware
Unlock Bootloader
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
Install Custom Recovery (I use the - Fastboot Method)
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/171
Download SU files (UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip)
http://download.chainfire.eu/351
Copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip to the phone using USB cable, then boot into custom recovery (reboot phone while holding the down volume button). Flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip
Help still needed...information updated in first post.
couldn't he fastboot flash recovery and flash stock rooted like this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612576 I presume you can access bootloader? its been a bit since I have seen stock, im curious?
edit.. don't remember now what the bootloader screen is like before unlocked? duh?
I thought this might work also, but flashing the recovery through fastboot always reboots to the red arrow.
I think I am going to have to go ahead and do the htcdev method...doesn't seem to be any reason not to now.
Thanks for all your help!

Hmm, so the actually flash of the recovery is successful, it just doesn't stick on your phone?
Hy my htc on is stock in bootlop when i enter bootloader i cannot execute nothing it frezes no recovery no fastboot it is locked s on
Now when you say is stock does this mean you have your Hboot locked, is it rooted? Are you s-off or s-On? what were you trying to do prior to getting to a loop?

What steps did you take that led you to this point? Are you stock recovery at minute or are you custom recovery? Is your phone detected by fastboot (type fastboot devices)
Also I assume to tried HTC.com/dev to unlock using a different unlock token?

just for future reference, he needs to flash the stock firmware, same one he already has, my suspicions say he has re-locked his bootloader with a custom recovery on there, thats why he cant unlock his bootloader, it requires stock recovery, the only way to get stock recovery on an s-on and re-locked device is to flash stock firmware. :good:

Yeah I figured he'd done that, which is why I wondered was he custom recovery
thanks for the reply’s, i have now tried to use a new unlock token but i get the same problem as before, before i relocked the boot loader i flashed what i think was the stock recovery but now i can’t get in to recovery i can use fastboot and it does show up under fastboot devices and when i try to put the unlock token on i get the screen to confirm but when i confirm it boot into recovery and just stays there till the battery drains on i reboot it any more idea’s or advice ?
I was flashing system partition via dd .. Yeah stupid I know.. Some how boot loader locked itself previously.. My system is incomplete.. Won't boot.. Stock recovery and locked boot loader.. If I try to unlock boot loader via fastboot I get error about Dev options which I can not get to... Please help!
Will rsd lite still flash? Why did my boot loader lock itself ? Something new? New boot loader or new android do this?!

Sounds like RMA to me.
i dont get how bootloaders magically lock themselves, unless a script was run that issued the relock command..
one of the ota updates locked boot loader I believe, as I always leave my bootloaders unlocked for rescue, always testing different rooms, etc.. as well as it locking my bootloader it also required you to boot phone and go to developer settings and enable oem unlock there before you can fastboot oem unlock...
or maybe some other chaos locked my bootloader, idk..
fortunately I was under warranty, and phone was wiped good enough for them to not see phone was rooted or just didn't care and Motorola sent me a new phone...
