Unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP 2.6 but supersu did not root. Fortunately I did a backup of my stock unrooted rom and was able to revert back to it. I just want to know if I un root and relock my bootloader can I still RUU a stock rom since I wasn't really rooted. If so will I be able to receive OTA updates in the future. Thanks

I unlocked my inc s bootloader using htcdev method. I then installed 4ext recovery and then the a custom rom. I now want to revert back to stock rom and re-unlock the bootloader. Am thinking of doing this. Please correct me if I am wrong.
1. Restore stock rom from nandroid backup.
2. Use htcdev relock method to get back to unlocked state.
My question is will the custom recovery create any problems. If so how do I get back stock recovery?

No the custom recovery will not cause any issues.
And once I restore stock rom and re unlock I can get the latest ics ota update?

Why do you need to re-lock? If you want to receive OTA update, you need to have stock recovery.

OK so going back to your original question, yes the custom recovery will cause you a problem with trying to receive the OTA update. It will let you download it, but will then tell you that you have a custom setup and won't let you install it.
i guess its more or less same case as mine
you can refer to my post before

So I had my HTC One rooted and flashed viper rom. I relocked the bootloader and flashed back to stock rom 1.31.651.2 and everything went smoothly. I went to system updates and it found the 4.3 update and downloaded it. When It gave me the option I clicked install now and the phone rebooted, but into the HTC screen with the development warning and then straight into bootloader and did nothing after that. I rebooted and tried install now again and the same thing happened. What am I doing wrong? Why wont the 4.3 install?
I would suggest getting S-OFF before taking the OTA.
BTW it's NEVER a good idea to take an OTA
I would assume there's already an odex and deodex version of stock 4.3 floating around somewhere. That's usually the first things devs release when it comes to OTAs.

If you are taking an ota on a stock rooted Rom you need to.flash the stock recovery. It will not work if you still have custom recovery on your phone.

Sure it is, I took it knowing I had S-Off and that the OTA wouldnt reenable the security flag. That's all you need to do is be S-Off to ensure you can downgrade if need be.

Awesome. That worked. It wouldn't install the first 2 times, it pretty much just went to installer, did nothing, and then factory reset itself, but the third time was a charm and it installed fine. Thanks so much for your help!! Greatly appreciate it.
Hi, I just got a HTC ONE and was wondering if I would be able to root my phone, without unlocking the boot loader and keep stock recovery, so I would be able to get OTA updates.
Any help is appreciated.

There's no simple root method for the One. You either have to unlock your bootloader or s-off your phone.

Takes a few steps, but your goal of root with OTA updates is attainable. I'll give you the quick version, assuming you don't need a detailed step-by-step on how to flash and use fastboot commands. The first step is to find the stock recovery file for your phone.
Unlock your bootloader via HTCDev.com (will wipe phone data) and go S-Off (method depends on bootloader version). You will still receive OTA updates with an unlocked bootloader if you're S-Off.
Flash TWRP and install SuperSU from there.
Boot phone, verify rooted.
Flash stock recovery to phone.
You're rooted and will receive OTA updates. The only potential issue is losing root access after an OTA update. Perhaps somebody more knowledgeable could chime in on that point.
So I'm rooted, S-Off, and SuperCID, and I get the 4.3 system update notification. I know I need to have the stock recovery, but do I also need to relock the bootloader? And will I lose root access after updating? All help would be appreciated.

Just flash stock recovery and lock bootloader. Accept OTA, after update, flash CWM, re-root.

Hello,
Is it possible to keep root and have original bootlader/recovery reflashed after unlock?
So I can receive ota without having to worry or would even su cause problems for ota?

Root will not prevent ota update to install
You can safely relfash stock recovery after you have rooted the phone.
BUT
Unlocking the bootloader also wipe /data/preload folder (and its content). Everything in this folder must be restored to be able to install ota update. back it up first, then unlock bootloader, flash twrp recovery, root, flash stock recovery, restore /data/preload and set permission to folder and files.
After installing an ota update you'll need to root again (relfash twrp, root and relfash stock recovery)
Any modification to /system files will prevent ota update to install.
Thanks.. It is so annoying that a customer has to go though this must trouble simply to get the most out of his device. I am really starting to dislike otas...
