With so less information,
No
Try to describe your situation a little more and post the output of fastboot getvar all (except imei/sn)
Are you using a Sense rom or a GPE rom? Is the unlock token flashed correctly but you are not prompted with the unlock screen? Is your phone recognized by your computer? Do you have installed the drivers correctly? etc etc etc....

You should be able to run a RUU, but I would unlock the bootloader, then flash TWRP, then a Rom. If you can reach fastboot then you shouldn't be worried.
I dont even think you can run custom recoveries without an unlocked bootloader.

I have fastboot but I'm showing relocked. How do I get the RUU to run?
I'm on HTC-one-sprint IRC node if you can chat that would be awesome.

How do I unlock the bootloader from within the bootloader. I don't have a ROM on the phone. Can I hard reset? I've been struggling for a while on this.

since your phone is "relocked" im assuming that you have unlocked it before. Just unlock it like the first time.
if you forgot how to do it then heres another video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2N7G9lJiTo

I would do that but I inadvertently wiped and now there's no ROM on my SD card and I can't get one back on there. IRC is a chat you can get there by using http://webchat.freenode.net/ and using Channel HTC-One-Sprint.

Flash it back to stock using a sprint RUU (Rom Update Utility) . search the sprint HTC one forum for it download it to your computer and run the application (RUU) from your computer with your phone in bootloader mode with fastboot selected (highlighted) connected with the use cable. It will take approximately 10 minutes to flash. Thus will restore your phone to stock (factory). Make sure it's a Sprint stock rom for the HTC one. After it's back to stock. Unlock it.. Install TWRP RECOVERY. Download and copy the custom rom of your choice ( suggestion: VIPER ONE 1.1.0) to phone storage using the usb. Disconnect phone from computer and boot into bootloader and select recovery and wipe data.. Both caches and system then go to install and flash rom. Also make sure you flash superuser too before flashing the custom rom. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need help getting your phone functional.

Root Gone Wrong

I have a verizon htc one m7, and I unlocked the bootloader and s-offed using sunshine. I flashed a rom to make it a google play edition and when it loaded, nothing works. Recovery mode is a black screen that says google and has a small lock at the bottom. I can get to the bootloader but I can't reflash anything using fastboot because it says I don't have root permissions. Please help. Thank you

It looks like the stock recovery which make me believe you have not flashed a GPE rom but a GPE RUU?

What are you trying to flash exactly? From fastboot you can only flash RUU/firmware (in "fastboot oem rebootRUU" mode) and recovery using "fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img"
because it says I don't have root permissions.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Doesn't make sense at all
fastboot never ask/need root permission. Root is ROM related and the ROM isn't even booted at this point so how could it be possible?
Looks like you are not understanding correctly some concept here, better to read a little more or ask your question here

unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery then flash the latest supersu.zip. As simple as that

Its the same procedure to unlock a locked or re-locked bootloader. The only difference between locked and relocked is that relocked mean your phone was unlocked at least once then locked back using the "fastboot oem lock" command. So go ahead and follow the instructions from htcdev.com/bootloader (submit your token then wait for your unlock code and flash it).

As @alray said, unlock procedure is the same for "locked" and "relocked". That means that your files WILL be erased when you unlock your bootloader, so backup everything you don't want to loose

If it is a carrier branded phone, maybe your carrier may allow SIM-unlocking it.

Unlocking bootloader: definitive bye-bye to automatic updates?

With the Moto Z, after I returned the phone to stock (flashed stock firmware and locked the bootloader), I'd be able to flash stock firmware with the flashing locked.
Not so with the Motorola One Zoom. In other words, flashing stock and re-locking didn't return the phone to its pristine state. Even when flashing stock firmware over stock firmware, I have to unlock the bootloader.
Differences I observed: on the bootloader screen, when re-locked the Z would show "oem_locked" again. On the One Zoom, it shows "flashing_locked" instead. I'm pretty sure it showed "oem_locked" before unlocking.
WIth the Z, every time I wanted to unlock the bootloader, I had to issue "fastboot oem unlock" followed by the unlock code. The code isn't necessary with the re-locked One Zoom.
In other words, maybe it was a one-way trip. It seems that the phone won't return to its original state, it looks it's modified for good. And I'm afraid this means bye-bye to automatic updates.
Am I missing something here?
My bootloader is also unlocked and I dont have any problems with receiving and installing OTAs I also have Magisk and EdExposed installed - no problems at all.

What instruction did you use to unlock the bootloader?
What region is your device manufactured for?
Does your PC see your device connected to the fastboot mod?
What does this command give you:
Code:
fastboot devices
If the device is detected, enter the command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
And copy the result here.

Hey all,
I have the Moto One Zoom running on Android 9.
Also, It's Rooted with Magisk and have Riru EdXposed installed, can I install my OTA updates without bootloop or do I have to Uninstall Magisk, relock bootloader and factory reset/flash stock firmware to get latest OTA updates?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks
