Re-unlock bootloader HTC Incredible S

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

Hi, could you please provide some guidance on restoring my uk htc one to stock. It is the sim free model
I would like it to be as stock as possible, so stock rom, recovery, and if possible, removing the 'tampered' withing fastboot
Thanks

this might help but your phone will always have relocked in recovery or did you backup your stock rom if so just flash that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752

Thanks for the link
I am going to do the following
Wipe in recovery
Flash stock rom from that link
Flash recovery from that link
Relock bootloader with hasoon2000 toolkit
Is this correct?

I relocked bootloader and flashed a ruu, seemed to work

I'll Ask Another Way

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

Quick Question about rooting

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.

[Q] how to update os

I have htc one m7 i had it rooted s-off and than unlocked with java card.
I have notification about update from htc (left the phone with original rom on it)
I accept to update it downloads the update than reboots my phone in recovery but there nothing happends it gives me options to browse the content of the phone whipe dalvik cashe etc.
I am currently running android kitkat 4.4.2 original htc rom with htc sense 5
I have hboot 1.56
Should i install zip manualy from there?
if i do that will it brick my phone? will i loose unlock that i made with java card ?

Are you on a custom recovery? You need to flash the stock recovery for your firmware to accept ota updates. It will not mess with your secure flag or lock status by updating. At least it shouldn't.

When you do any ota, you still lose root. Ota needs stock recovery to work. Check santod's thread on recoveries, firmwares and such thread. It has links and instructions
