I have an HTC One developer edition that I rooted with TWRP and then SuperSU. I left the stock ROM on as I only wanted the Xposed framework and MoDaCo toolkit installed. Now that the 4.3 update is out for the developer edition, how can I unroot the device to install it without completely flashing it? I've tried just flashing the stock recovery and the update wont install.
re-lock your bootloader again
"fastboot.exe oem lock"

The update still fails after doing that.
You need to be 100% stock to flash it ideally, ie. stock ROM (no mods/changes), stock recovery, stock kernel
Followed what I thought were steps to root my HTC M8 but what I ended up with was an unlocked bootloader, TWRP installed but not rooted. How can I install a ROM if not rooted, or how can I gain Root?
Download SuperSU from here, and flash it in TWRP recovery.
Or you could also flash a rooted ROM. A lot of them come pre-rooted.
Yesterday I thought I bricked my phone. I too also got stuck on the secure boot error 1003 boot loop. It happened when I tried to relock my bootloader with fastboot oem lock. Can anyone explain why that happened and if, after you obtain root, if it's possible to go back and relock the bootloader. I was attempting to get android pay working again, plus it flashes that message about having an unlocked bootloader. Is it possible to re-lock the bootloader after you have root, and if so, what did I do wrong. I finally restored back to factory using the lg bridge tool and download mode, which was a [email protected]#% to get into with a bootlooping phone.
Thanks in advance.

To answer your question, when you root the g4 on marshmallow using chainfire's systemless root, It on the fly flashes a different boot image, thus if you relock the bootloader after rooting the device on the 6.0 marshmallow firmware it will end up with the security error because the boot image has been "modified" and a modified image won't be allowed to boot if the bootloader is locked so the answer is unfortunately no you can't have a locked bootloader and have root at the same time, If you want to relock the bootloader on the 6.0 firmware to get rid of the boot image showing "unlocked bootloader" you should flash the KDZ for the 6.0 firmware in this case H81120i firmware and then go into developer settings and uncheck enable oem unlocking and also make sure you boot into fastboot mode, you can do this via the adb shell. another option to not have the "unlocked bootloader" show every boot would be to go back to the 5.1 firmware which did not have this. I hope this helps.
Thank you for a great explanation.
If you ask the people at xposed modules they may be able to do something maybe....
5.1 still displays bootloader unlocked message.

I have installed h815 KDZ files using LGUP. When i reboot it still displays Bootloader unlocked message. I can not use bootloader unlock/lock guide as I have bootloader unlocked.
Any other means to get rid of the message.
bump for way to relock h815
Hi I have a HTC One Dual Sim (m7) 5.0.2 android. I have unlocked the bootloader using htcdev.com, but cannot root the phone. I have used Kingroot, Kingo root and iRoot. Kingo and King both say rooted sometimes but it goes away quickly (dont even need to restart). Is it impossible to root the phone using these apps? thanks!
Do not use any of those apps to root.
You have already unlocked bootloader so next step is flashing custom recovery. You can find twrp recovery here. Do a fastboot install method. After you flashed recovery download supersu zip file from here and save it on your phone. Reboot phone to recovery and tap install. Find supersu and install it. After that reboot phone (your phone will restart itself a couple times during boot) and your phone should be successfully rooted.
The phone comes with the bootloader unlocked? interesting. Any toolboxes I should use?
Okay, delete thread
You have to unlock the bootloader to install twrp
