I have rooted 4 IncS wit GingerBreak now, and non of them succede first time.
2 got rooted thrid time i ran GB, and 2 of them i had to take the SD card out when the error message came.
But GinderBreak can root the IncS, but somthimes you need some "Ninja" tricks.

Are you done?

This just worked for me - it was simple in the end!
I used a spare SD card (I don't think I needed to), just copy/pasted the clockwork recovery .zip file to the card (not in a folder on the card) and rebooted, holding volume down on start-up. After that, it automatically prompted me to install the file, so I let it install.
Then, I rebooted the phone and deleted the above file from the SD card, and replaced it with the signed root .zip file and rebooted with the volume down button again.
Just follow the steps, one by one, 'To root:' in the above linked post, after you have installed the recovery file - it worked first time for me and was actually simple to follow!!
My phone works as it always has done (as you would expect/hope), but now I have root - confirmed with Root Explorer app from Market.
Thanks to all involved in the linked post above.
I also tried GingerBreak a few times but it just didn't work for me, so I gave this a go and it worked first time.

I dont quite understand step 4, 5, 6:
4. Extract recovery.img from the archive and put it with fastboot.
5. Put the phone is Fastboot USB mode (HINT: Android is not up and running - access it from your hboot screen - see how below)
6. fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img> <<< from a command line (use root for Linux- sudo ./fastboot yadda)
Step 4, it says put it with fastboot, does it mean after i extracted the recovery.img, move it to the same folder with the fastboot app (i.e. to the folder android-win-tools where the fastboot app is located?).
Step 5, Fastboot USB mode, this is done by holding the volume down button and the pressing the power button, when the white screen comes up, select Fastboot, and then plug the phone back to the computer via USB?
Step 6, after the phone is plugged to the computer via USB, double click on the fastboot app (the one inside the android-win-tools folder) and when the black prompt screen comes up, type in Linux- sudo ./fastboot yadda?
Btw, I am on Windows computer, not Linux, so is the command prompt Linux- sudo ./fastboot yadda correct?
Also, if I want to bluetooth the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip to the phone, will it go directly to the SD root location? If not, when I do clockworkmod recovery and "install zip from sdcard", will it able to locate the file?

No, follow step 6 you use command line like this: "fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery.img". After you choose "install zip from sdcard" you have to choose the location where you put the file you want to install.

So this is exactly how it should be typed in the command prompt?
fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery.img
Are the rest of other steps correct?

I am still getting stuck at the Clockworkmod installation part, without this I cannot get to the root step.
I extracted the android-win-tools.zip, which contains the following files:
adb
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
android-info
fastboot
and then extracted the cwm-vivow-4.0.0.4-recovery.img.zip, contains the following:
recovery.img
then I moved all the above 6 files directly to the C: directory. After that went into cmd and typed the prompt exactly like following:
fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery.img
Did I miss anything? Because after typing that line and hit return it came out nothing. Is that prompt correct?

clockworkmod from market, is it aka ROM Manager?
This app won't work because it requires a ROOT phone, which is what I am trying to do.

Yes, and before use superoneclick.

You can also try Gingerbreak if you can't get SuperOneClick to work (again you'll have to search for this as it's not in the market).

Just installed SuperOneClick and clicked Root, it said the phone is rooted successfully. Then clicked on the "allow non market apps" and the result said non-market apps enabled.
But then I went to market and installed a screen cap app (one needs root), launched the app and it said Root required - Your phone does not appear to be rooted or has not been given root privileges.
Did the SuperOneClick really root it?

cannot flash TWRP recovery...

I wanted to run a 4.4 KitKat GE rom on my HTC One, therefore I decided to unlock my bootloader, install twrp, and flash the rom. So far all i did was unlock my bootloader. Then I proceeded to flash twrp recovery via a command prompt? on my desktop. But I kept getting an error message. I attached a picture of the message I am receiving. I read on the twrp recovery teams site that I need to have S-off before flash TWRP soooo I thought this is what was causing the error. I proceeded to change my S-On to S-Off using rumrunner but then I got an error message there saying I need to be rooted. SOOOOOO now I'm at a standstill and I don't know how to get TWRP recovery onto my device. I'm new to this device and this whole unlocking/rooting thing...Please help!

First to clarify things:
you don't need to be s-off to flash a custom recovery just need unlocked bootloader
you need a custom recovery to root
you need root to s-off
so you need a custom recovery first in order to achieve s-off
The picture you attached tells me fastboot isn't finding the file ''twrp,img'' from your command line ''fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
in most cases because:
your recovery.img file is not in the ''platform-tools'' folder that contain adb.exe and fastboot.exe
the file name of your recovery is not twrp.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery ''name_of_your_recovery_file.img''
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

i'll just leave this here: "cannot load" means the filename is WRONG!!! that's all
cya

okay I'll will give it a go with the suggestions tonight and update this thread with my results

So did I set this up correctly now? And I just open the CMD prompt window up from inside this domain and type "fastboot flash recovery "paste file name here" ? View attachment 2431242

So I just tried again....same error

I downloaded the newest SDK batch files and attempted again. Now I get a different error message.

Sorry about the screenshots, But where is there a double .img.img extension.....I only have it there once. I literally downloaded the image file from team wins website, saved it into the same folder containing the adb and fastboot files. I didnt change anything in the file name. Then i proceeded to Enter into the CMD window "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7" and I also tried "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img" Both do not work.

So it's December 2016 and I was running into a very similar error. Doing the dir command showed I had a double ".img" on my file as well. Fixed that, and I'm back in business. Thanks so much!

please tell how you fix that i have the same problem

Just rename the file without typing in ".img" at it should be ok.
So in explorer, rename the file simply "twrp" and hit enter. There will be a ".img" extension on the file, but you won't see it. To make sure it's been corrected, run the dir command and it should show "twrp.img" even though the file doesn't have the ".img" when you look at it in explorer.
Does that make sense?

[Q] HTC One dual sim 802w - Soft bricked

Hi guys
I'm getting really frustrated, i've spend all my free time the last 4 days, trying to get my HTC One to boot.
It's stuck at the white HTC logo, and then it just loops.
It is rooted via HTCDEV unlock token.
I can enter HBOOT and Recovery (CWM 6.0.4.8.7 or TWRP_2.7.0.0_M7CDUG_802w) It's hard to find recovery's for the 802w model.
I've tried with alot of different rums and boot img's, always the same, stuck at the white HTC logo.
What i am trying right now, is to restore it from a backup (i've tried with 3 different)
It's going well untill the CWM tries to mount /data, then i just get "can't mount /data"
I'm able to use fastboot and adb (only in recovery mode)
Here are my spec:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
M7CDUG PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.49.0000

in most cases, "can't mount /data" error is caused by a corrupted partition either because you have previously flashed a recovery or a rom not compatible for your phone variant. HTC One have different partition layout from variant to other, so when you flash something not for your phone, you are corrupting the partitions.
Use TWRP version for your phone variant
select "wipe" --> "format data"
then in "advanced wipe" select both system and cache and then swipe to wipe
then adb push your rom or backup again to /sdcard and flash/restore it.

for the M7_UL this is not required to flash boot.img like for other htc phones, but I don't know for the M7_DWG, I guess no.

Okay, so i pushed it to /sdcard - but it's not visable in the twrp installer. I tried to reboot, still empty.

I can't see it in the twrp file manager either - could it be because my phone is attached as "recovery" in adb?
adb start-server

use slash (/sdcard/) not backslash (\sdcard) and why these quotes (") in your command ?? you probably can install from the external sd card

So i have an AT&T HTC One M7, and i was trying to do all the necessary steps to convert it into a google edition, but in my attempt to get s-off, after unlocking and rooting my phone, i did a tutorial that told me to install the ARHD Rom, well after the installation my phone wouldnt load anything past the initial HTC splash screen. so i then i tried an ruu, when it failed it left me unable to even access recovery. so i tried all the ruu files i could find for att and none of them worked. does anyone know what i can do?
on my boot loader screen it says all this:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***

There is no ruu you can flash to your phone with s-on because all of them are lower version and require s-off to be flashed. your issue with booting arhd is probably because you did not used the right recovery. you must use twrp 2.6.3.3 to flash it.
reflash twrp 2.6.3.3:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
bot in twrp recovery, flash arhd again and try to s-off, if you can't s-off restore your nandroid backup or if you don't have any backup, flash any custom rom you want to use.

twrp isnt installing am i doing something wrong with that?

oh i got twrp on there, i had to re unlock my phone. now my dilemma is that the arhd rom is no longer there since the phone was wiped i guess. so my question now is, how do i get this arhd .zip back onto the phone? because i cant just drop it in like before

use adb push from twrp recovery, see below for detailed guide:
HTC ONE M7_U/M7_UL - ADB PUSH & FLASH A ROM - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer, either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-DATE\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You need TWRP recovery (2.6.3.3 or higher) on your device.
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:

Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes and there is no progress bar. When the command prompt give you back the hand and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom
Reboot phone

You can copy it from your PC to your phone via the USB cable using windows explorer or you can use the adb push method you used earlier.

thanks for the reply!!!
ive done as instructed but, nothings happening....
this what it looks like in my terminal
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb reboot recovery
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT34WW914838 recovery
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb push Android_Revolution_HD-O
ne_71.1.zip /sdcard/
_
after i try to push the zip file nothing happens, it doesnt say fail, or success or anything, just a blinking little line
any suggestions on that??
sorry about all questions btw, i jus didnt think so much would go wrong this time around (ive rooted this phone before no problem, im guessing the hboot 1.57 thing kinda screwed me this time) but thanks for the help so far =]

and no i cant use my usb my pc no longer recognizes my phone the same way, its recognized as a removable disk, and when clicked it says insert sdcard or something

if you need to get my attention just use the mention system, using @ nkk71 <-without the space (eg @simmo0020 )
anyway, once you've started the RUU.EXE, it will have created a temporary directory in %TEMP%, and within that folder you will find a 1GB+ file called ROM.ZIP <- this is the full ruu.zip which you can flash using linux
Do you intend on going S-ON??

that will jump you to the folder, sort by date modified, and find the newest folder within that, it's going to have a weird long alpha numeric name, and within that you'll find plenty of files, but 1 very large file called ROM.ZIP, that's the one you want.

I never recommend going from s-off to s-on on anything above hboot 1.54.... you can follow my guide using cwm restore method (it is longer, and will not work on Win8.1)
those would be the files you need (assuming you have MID=PN0710000, CID=O2___001: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54857652&postcount=1068
