well I know the guides are there for root, cwm, and boot unlocker i just had a question on the order these things need to be done.
So i need to do this in order correct?:
1) Root
2) Bootstrap Recovery
3) Unlock Bootloader
4) Install CWM
-Now can i re-lock the bootloader after i get CWM installed or do i need to keep it unlocked for that.
-Do i need to uninstall Bootstrap Recovery for CWM?
The help would be appreciated.
anyone????

I'm fairly certain, but not 100%, that you must remain unlocked to make use of CWM. If you relock, you're back to having to use Bootstrap Recovery.

You can actually go straight to Unlocking it... no need to root. Unlock, root, and then install ClockworkMod Recovery. I just unlocked mine and now I need to root it and flash the CWM.
What CWM are you talking about is it the bootstrap?

Bootstrapping ClockworkMod Recovery is what you do if you DON'T unlock. The easiest (and safest) is to unlock and then flash ClockworkMod Recovery as a recovery image. You need to unlock to use ClockworkMod Recovery because unlocking lets you use custom kernels.
Thanks man!

1) Unlock bootloader via HTCDev or Xboarder's tool
2) Get root.
3) Install recovery.
4) profit?
Just confirming before I commit to it. Thanks all.

Nope.
Unlock bootloader.
Install custom recovery then flash SuperUser zip file for root or just flash your custom ROM.
Ok, I need some help. I've installed Androwork (Hairybean 4.2.1 Bootloader & Recovery.zip). Now I can't install cyanogenmod. Also I can't access fastboot. I have Recovery, android and wipe data. My question is how do I get back Fastboot so I can install clockworkmod recovery and put cyanogenmod back on it?
Thanks!

I'm just glad you couldn't find fastboot because flashing Clockworkmod onto that bootloader is a very quick way to hard brick yourself.
You are automatically in fastboot when you see the 3 icons on that bootloader. You do not need to select it like before..
but... You want to use the downgrade zip in the Hiarybean thread to go back to 4.1 bootloader and compatible TWRP.
DO NOT USE CWM.

Thanks, didn't see that downgrade option.. should have read the whole thing. Thanks.
I was trying to unroot my HTC One by relocking the bootloader then through SuperSU, However, I don't have TWRP anymore and I don't want to unlock the bootloader again with some form of recovery. (I have S-On)
Any suggestions to get recovery back?

So you unrooted it with a custom recovery and then relocked your boot loader? Or did you just have root. Are you trying to reroot?

the only way to install recovery is by unlocking the bootloader, no way around it

So when I unlock the bootloader again, I would have to flash TWRP/CWM, then flash a ROM in order to get an OS back?
That's it

I flashed the stock recovery then applied the update for kitkat
All works well except i now have no root access. Streaming apps tell me the phone is rooted but apps that require root say it is not rooted.
I still have S-OFF but the phone is locked. how can I get root access? I cannot install a recovery because the phone is locked but I cannot unlock it as I do not have root in ADB shell.
Its a catch 22 and the only way I think i can fix t would to be to use HTC to unlock the device again and wipe all my data..
Please help

If s off.... Simply boot phone to fastboot and flash the custom recovery of your choosing from there. Then in your custom recovery flash the latest supersu.Zip
That's it.
No that didnt work because even if S=OFF you still cant flash if the bootloader is locked, i bit the bullet and used HTCdev again, phone is now wiped but was finally able to install recovery and root

I think he meant he couldn't fastboot flash it, which cannot be done if the bootloader is locked. But yeah could have used the RUU mode. Pays to research things

Lol... They both take fastboot commands. ☺
Alternatively the zip could have been placed on his SD card and loaded from hboot.
