Hi all, im a noob
Ok im new and let me get this straight.
In order to root I need to unlock the bootloader following the directions at htcdev.com
After i unlocked the bootloader, i would be able to root my device using superboot.
Correct?
Also what does recovery do? and do i need to do the recovery step before i root my device?
Thank you!sorry for repost
no you needn't recovery

Hey everyone, I've been using my hox+ rooted for some time now, never flashed a ROM and was wondering if I update to the new att software will I lose root?
Yes. Just make sure you have a custom recovery and flash the root installer zip. Or if you have TWRP, after a the flash, it will ask to install root.

Know how to flash boot IMG. Sorry I'm a noob any help would be greatly appreciated.
Use this command in fastboot.
fastboot flash boot /location/of/boot.img
If your bootloader is unlock and your phone has a custom Recovery, the official AT&T update won't install on your phone. If you want the update, or you wait for a custom ROM with the update to be available, or you relock bootloader, and flash the latest RUU to recover the original state of your phone. Then you can still unlock with the same token and install a custom recovery to root your device.
Thanks much fellas, you've been a great help!
I have a Verizon Samsung galaxy S5 G900V in which I am locked out of, im trying to flash CWM recovery to because I am locked out and the stock recovery will not allow me to install any zips or anything that I need to install. When I do try to install anything I get “signature verification failed” and “wrong foot header”. I have tried ABD also but it will only go into Sideloader mode and those commands are limited so I cannot delete the passcode file. A friend told me my variant had a locked bootloader and I need that unlocked before I can flash it but, I can’t unlock It or root it because I don’t have access to the phone. I have really important files on here, stuff that is beyond important. Is there any other way to get into the phone or is there something I can do to flash the CWM recovery?
Thanks, Addison

I'm not as knowledgeable as the devs here, but you could try unrooting and then unlocking the bootloader?
Unrooting has nothing to do with it. Have you tried this?

since you are rooted you can download flashify and install recovery from there
