Hello, I tried rooting my phone following this tutorial from a youtuber named Max Lee. since I am a noob. Everything was going fine until I flashed the SuperSU (As shown in the vid). I rebooted it and it got stuck in a bootloop. I tried multiple methods to get out, but I ended up relocking the bootloader and now I can't get into recovery. Since I hit rock bottom (which is why I am making this thread lol), I just need to know if there is anyway I can resolve this issue, or I need to know if my phone is just hard bricked.

@zedomax! His tutorials are good. He also has a website for that at htconeroot.com
But here's the problem, that tutorial is over two years old, so the TWRP recovery and SuperSU app linked there are outdated and won't work with the newer firmware.

Here's what to do:
Unlock your bootloader again.
Flash the latest TWRP in fastboot that you can download from here
From there you can either flash a ROM (almost all of them come pre-rooted with SU already installed), or flash the latest stable SuperSU.zip in recovery that you can download from here.

The easiest is to just flash TWRP, then a custom ROM.
Good luck!
