you need to reflash the just the HBOOT zip from Lazy Panda's website. Then you can flash the TWRP update zip from their website, and then finally flash SuperUser

After failing to find the latest RUU i found an old Nandroid that i had and so i proceeded and flashed it on and flashed the boot image as well and the phone booted up and everything is perfect.
however, as i said, this is an old nandroid so it had the old build 1.14 i think and i received a notification with the OTA update for 1.17... and so i downloaded it and when it restarted trying to flash it on, it went to CMW and failed to install it.
so i relocked the bootloader, hoping this would help, but now when i try to install the OTA update, it just boots to the bootloader and doesnt do anything.
what should i do, please help
for official OTAs you need an unrooted phone with locked/relocked bootloader and stock recovery

If you flash the RUU, you will get the stock recovery and also you should be able to receive the OTAs

i found the stock recovery from somewhere and it's fine
Hi all,
I really need your help. Yesterday I tried to install custom rom (Honeycomb with S-off) through CWM. Installation failed and now I have ended up with just bootloader and black screen when I turn on device.
Before I started installation of custom rom I had HC on tablet, was S-ON and with unlocked bootloader 1.11.0011.
Can someone help me what to do now?
THANKS TO ALL!

Currently I am S-on, have bootloader 1.11.0011 and unlocked bootloader with CWM v.6.0.1.1
Tried to install few roms but it did not work.
If you are S-on, you need to extract boot.img from the custom ROM zip, and flash separately using fastboot. You need to do this everytime you flash a custom ROM.
I looked for this all over XDA and google and couldn't find an answer,
I have an unlocked and rooted HOX+ international that had CM 10.2, I flashed a backup of my stock sense 4 using TWRP to try the official sense 5 update.
Now I need to re-lock bootloader and reinstall stock recovery for the HTC update to install, I can't find a stock recovery image anywhere and I'm not sure if it is even possible to do it this way without flashing an RUU?
Any help? any one can point me to a stock recovery image?
RECAP:
What I have: HOX+ International, stock sense 4, unlocked, rooted, TWRP recovery, HTC software update downloaded and ready to install
What I need: Relock, Revert to stock recovery (stock recovery img)
Thanks in Advance!

U have to unroot first........must be ok if u still get the notification for the Update installation...
Use SuperSu from Playstore.....and in the setting do full unroot......
then flash the Stock recovery and relock the bootloader.....
The main thing is u have to still get that notification to install the update.......

I currently am on 4.3 / s-off / rooted / TWRP 2.7.0.1
Do I need to be on 4.4 first? Is there a 4.4 RUU?
If that's your twrp you may want to update it to newest. And you can then flash it without updating. But that isn't an ruu its a custom rom
I'm clueless of what your trying to do. What are you needing done?
2.7.0.1 will flash rom fine no need for latest if thats what he/she has.Copy zip to internal memory,do a factory wipe,install zip

My HTC one m8 has root access. I was using twrp recovery and stock rom. I wanted to flash a custom rom (tried cyanogen and pan) but twrp never helped me in finding my zip file. Then I tried swapping my recovery from twrp to cwm but that never happened and it got stuck in bootloader mode and then I did factory reset :/. And now everytime I try going into recovery it takes me to the bootloader mode. now I am trying flashing a custom recovery but first turning s_off and I tried firewater but it doesn't work.
What should I do?
It still has root access but s_on and don't know about bootloader on/off and no recovery.

and does your device say unlocked at the top of your bootloader? if not follow this guild http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799796 , but use the twrp for you device carrier only
if you did it via recovery you should still be ok
go to your bootloader download this twrp img here http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m8/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-m8.img on your computer (for gsm) int. att (i'm guessing this is the device carrier you have)
ensure you have fastboot tools(adb tools installed)
put the .img in your folder that contains fastboot
open a cmd in that folder on your computer and make sure you put your phone in fastboot mode via your bootloader.
then type on your computer in cmd fastboot flash recovery (name of twrp you downloaded).img
then type fastboot erase cache
you now have twrp installed to get to it now select recovery from bootloader on your phone.
when installing custom roms in twrp you need to go to advanced wipe(select data,cache,delvik cache, and system then swipe the arrow bar beneath)
then press home and press install the go to the location on the sdcard where you put the rom.zip of the custom rom and select it. instalation will begin after completion reboot(done)
It says unlocked at the top but S On.
Shouldn't I turn s off before flashing recovery?

@Fahad khan lodhi
it won't matter either way.
but just so you know what s-off is
s-off turns security mode off so you can swap out boot splashes and such, if you s-off and super cid you can flash any carrier's firmware,
also allows you to flash a kernel in recovery on older devices(m8 doesn't need s-off to flash kernel)
Can't S-Off unless you can boot. Firewater only works if you can get into the OS and then only for some devices. You should reinstall TWRP and see if you can boot to it then put a rom on an external SD card or use adb to push a rom zip to the internal if you don't have an SD card. Make sure that you fastboot flash the boot.img of whatever rom you are trying due to being S-On. If all that fails, then you will need to find the same or newer RUU from HTC for your carrier to restore the phone to stock and start over.

It should still work with the firmware you have. It's recommended but not necessary. And flashing PA would certainly not update your firmware. Firmware in this instance is mostly focused on the radio/baseband version and the touch drivers. These are not included in any kind of custom rom for your phone (nor 99% of android custom roms for anything). Much more important if you were originally on 4.2.2 or 4.3 and trying to run the new Viper. The only way to update firmware while S-On is via RUU or OTA. If you were S-Off then you could flash just the firmware package that has the hboot and stock recovery files removed.
