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!
Hi
I am a noob when it comes to android but i have managed to get root access on my device and i have installed CWM recovery, my question is how do i now install a custom rom, my device is bootloader unlock allowed No, so i am aware that the kernel can not be modified and this will limit the roms that can be installed, but after hours of searching i have found a hand full of roms that say they will work with locked boot loaders but stop the phone booting. am i installing them wrong?
Thanks
Josh
You can only flash Roms with locked bootloader, like modded Originalfirmwares, you download it copy it on SD Card and go in CWM flash the Rom and then do a whipe and restart and enjoy
I am trying to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/development/rom-stoneui-hd-118-t2952024, i have root and cwm i install from my sd card and reboot but it just shows the sony logo untill i hard reset and reflash 14.4.A.0.108.
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?
