hi
I have an unlocked (S-Off) HTC One Max International with Twrp-2.6.3.0
can I install TWRP 2.8.0.1 over it or I have to uninstall old ver and install new Twrp?
should I lock (S-On) my device first?
is this process dangerous?
I want new Twrp to install custom rom
thanks in advanced

Just flash it over. Only 1 can be installed at the same time. It will just over write it.

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'm new to xperia, I want to flash custom rom on this device for my friend, need some help please
So I need to unlock bootloader to flash cwm? or cwm could be flashed without unlocking bootloader?
after that just flash custom rom from recovery?

No, you can flash CWM straightaway.
And don't forget, YOU CANNOT RUN CUSTOM KERNELS ON A LOCKED BOOTLOADER. YOU CAN ONLY RUN STOCK OR STOCK BASED ROMs.
say no to Drugs and ICS!

You can install CWM Recovery without unlocking bootloder but you have to root your phone first.
If you unlock your bootloader, you can flash any custom kernel which is built fir your device which will have CWM Recovery in it. i.e, you don't need to install CWM Recovery separately.
Once you have the CWM Recovery, you can install any custom ROM.
& don't worry, ROMs are built in large packages so that they're compatible with a number of devices. It doesn't mean that whole package will be copied as is to your root. Instead, you'll have some more free internal memory....

tnx, so what do you recommend, unlock bootloader-----flash cwm-----and rom. Kernel and rom are in same file everything could be flashed from device, cwm ?
tnx again
First decide whether you want to unlock your bootloder or not. I recommend you to unlock your bootloder but it WILL void your warranty but you'll be able to do alot more than Locked Bootloder like using custom kernels & you'll be able to flash ANY available ROM built for your device.
So 2 options for you:
1. If you want Locked Bootloder:
Root Your Phone > Install CWM Recovery > Flash any stock based ROM using CWM Recovery.
2. If you want Unlocked Bootloder:
Unlock your Bootloder > Flash any Custom Kernel (Which is compatible with ROM you want to install) > Install the ROM using CWM Recovery.
For unlocking bootloder & other information, follow this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590383
If I have an unlocked bootloader and install CWM and have root, can I install any ROM that can be installed with CWM?
Thanks
Sorry about the newbie questions but this is my first HTC. In order to flash the Xposed installer does the bootloader need to be unlocked or is rooting the phone enough?
Also, once the phone is rooted can I flash the Xposed installer using the stock recovery or do I need to use a custom recovery? Thanks.
Device needs root and the Xposed can be install from custom recovery or apk installation. Stock recovery can't flash custom rom or basically anything other then stock ota.

Thanks. So can I root using TowelRoot or one of the other methods without unlocking the bootloader or is unlocking the bootloader necessary before I root?
Depends on hboot version. If you have newer hboot, weaksauce will temp root & firewater will soft. Older version needs romrunner. Guide out there
