Hello, I've unlocked my Velocity (Telstra) ICS, thru HTC Dev, and am about to use the Vivid all in one tool to root my phone.
I know it's probably a silly question, but after watching the video, do I run the tool in Hboot mode on the phone ?
I am very new at this, any help would be very appreciated !
Easy, really.

After some googling, I figured that you boot into Hboot,select fastboot, then plug the phone via usb to the computer.
The phone menu will say Fastboot USB, in red letters.
I then ran the Vivid all in one tool, and had no problem installing CWM recovery. But the tool wouldn't work for "root",
giving a "device not recognized" error. The command prompt window also said that Superuser zip couldn't be found on sd card.
So I booted up the phone, used MyphoneExplorer (brilliant app) to access my sd card, and copied " Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip " to the card.
Then I used recovery to flash the zip, and that was that. The phone is now permanently rooted.:laugh:
I've installed busybox,and also Root Checker ( app by Darken ), and it's all good !!
Glad you figured it out, but for the future you don't have to put your phone in fastboot/hboot before using the tool.
Just go under settings then develop option then enable USB debugging
Once USB debugging (aka adb) is enabled plug phone into USB run the tool kit, choose an option. It will open a command window which will reboot the phone to fastboot for you, apply the option you selected then turn the phone back on.

Hi,
Anyone else had this problem? I plug my phone in and am not presented with any form of USB options.
Thanks,
Jim
Anyone?
EDIT: When I plug the phone into the PC, it charges and the "USB debugging connected" notification appears, but I cannot transfer files or enable HTC Sync.

tried already. not working
If u can use adb still with ur USB u can boot the phone into fastboot and enter this command (fastboot enableqxdm 0 fastboot reboot) that might help but I can't use adb with this prob since it requires a working USB connection. There is also some good help if u search for how to fix USB and SD card not reading. If ur rooted u can force a file to ur sdcard with some root explorers like root manager sufb and file expert by manually mounting it as read/write.
try uninstalling and reinstalling htc sync
the only times i have had issues with sd card mounting is when trying to root before unlocking the bootloader. need to unlock bootloader prior to rooting. if bootloader isn't unlocked then root is temp but sdcard mount is lost and may effect usb being recognised. am i right in assuming that you tried the rooting method prior to attempting unlocking of your bootloader? if so you should turned device off and on and sdcard would have appeared again and available when plugged in. id suggest turning device on and off and test. if these problems persist you may need to revert to stock rom using ruu file and start over

Going back to stock will lose root and if u hhave a USB and/SD card issue fixing that can become difficult without root. I have HTC Incredible and went back to stock using the PB31IMG.zip method from Hboot and it didn't help anything and gaining root again seems to be next to impossible without USB/SD card working properly so think things through before going back to stock.

Spot on. My only problem is that I'm having this problem with the stock ROM.

Well if u can use ur sdcard in recovery there's a method that's supposed to work to fix the USB u will need to find out if u have a bad block, mine is in ./dev/block/mmcblk0p1 if I could reflash that block it should fix the USB. You need 2 files flash_image and mtd-eng to reflash I will post a link to my dropbox with the necessary files when I get home. But do this at ur own risk I'm not responsible if u brick ur phone. Sorry I dobt havr links right this second, but theirs a thread somewhere that has em too if u wanna search for it.

You née to run ADB from a stock rom it will give u temp root and fix ur USB so u can gain permanent root. First launch ADB then boot your phone into fastboot befor you plug it in your computer if you have the proper Hboot driver installed it will say fastbootusb. Next start the ADB server it should be a cmd that looks like this from cmd prompt C:\androidsdk\tools\adb.exe fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 fastboot reboot if done correctly it will say success but u may need to try more than once. From their you can run this C:\androidsdk\tools\adb.exe remount that will remount ADB as rw or you cam run C:\androidsdk\tools\adb.exe root for temp root access how you root your phone is up to you. Let me know if you need any help I was able to solve it fairly easy once I paid attention.

Did you make a backup of your device (nandroid)?

First, don't worry, while you have access to HBOOT , your phone is not a brick.
1) Have you access to HBOOT?
2) Have you custom recovery now? If yes, what recovery you have TWRP? or CWM?

At the momment only CWM works and it rarley even works not to mention aroma installer SUCKS ****ING BALLS the 50th time I sideflash a rom and the phone restarts when the installer reaches 10%!
Unfortunately I don't know as in CWM, in TWRP there is such feature as ADB sideload , by means of it you will be able to load and flash the file saved on PC to phone.
And second one, you can connect your flash card with OTG-cable to phone.

dont worry, if you have a nandroid everything can be fixed.
First you need to check if your computer recognizes your phone, go into recovery, and then in command on your computer type "adb devices" and see if it shows your phone. If it does, youre fine and you just need to "adb push (nandroid name) /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/(nandroidname) and then you can flash it.
If it doesnt see your device, read on.

Hey guys!
In advance I'm sorry for asking something that has probably been asked many times before, but I'm unable to find the right answer.
Okay let's start at the beginning. My HTC one with an unlocked bootloader on stock started to display a very irritating bug in that sometimes the screen would not rotate and was stuck in landscape mode. Nothing would help nor rebooting, nor calibrating the sensor. Only booting into the bootloader would somehow help.
Until it did not.
I tried a factory reset, which did not help and then tried just wiping Dalvik and Cache, which did not help too.
Then I tried wiping Data and System, which I now know was very stupid.
The current problem is that I can't figure out how to send a new ROM to my HTC one using adb, when typing adb devices the device does not show up.
My computer does see the device, listed under Android USB devices ad My HTC. I think Fastboot too, recognized the device, because I am able to get the Identifier token.
I have installed the drivers and installed HTC Sync manager. I have restarted my Pc multiple times and changed the USB port the device is connected to.
I too, tried mounting the USB, but either I'm doing it wrong, or it does not work.
Hope one of you can help me! I've been at this all day long...
Adb commands only work when you're booted in the rom or recovery. Fastboot uses fastboot commands. Do you have a custom recovery? If so, you can adb sideload a rom. If not, you can fastboot flash a custom recovery assuming your bootloader is unlocked. You may have mentioned it in your post I just can't remember. Good luck!

Thanks for the help!
Yes, I unlocked my bootloader and have twrp installed.
I think I have narrowed down the problem: that my device is not recognized by the computer in twrp.
When in fastboot, My computer does recognize the device, listed as an HTC one, so the drivers are not the problem.
When booting into recovery, me computer only recognizes the phone for about 3 seconds, when it dissapears.
I have been able to see the device in Adb (using Adb devices).
What could I do? Adb sideload does not work because the computer does not recognize the device.
Hi,
You're on Windows? If yes which version?
Windows 7, but if needed I do have access to a win 8 PC as well.
All x64 by the way.
Ok, maybe take a look here if you use USB 3.0?: [FIX]Fastboot problems on Windows 8 x64 with USB 3.0? Solution inside.
It might work on Windows 7 too, there is a link for the drivers for x64.
Maybe using a toolkit to use ADB/fastboot? Take a look here:
[TOOL]HTC One (M7) All-In-One Toolkit V3.1
[TOOL]HTC One (M7) AIO Toolkit | v1.4
Okay, from now on I'll only use USB 2.0.
I tried these two toolkits, but they suffer the same problem as me in that in order for adb sideload to work the device has to be recognized for longer than 3s after booting into recovery.
I just bought a female-female USB adapter, hopefully installing a rom from a usb stick will work
Ofcourse help would still be greatly appreciated as i will have to wait for over a week till the USB adapter arrives.
So I got carried away with trying to get rid of that three dot menu button at the bottom of the screen and I've slowly managed to work myself into a really bad problem. I'm not necessarily new to this, I've rooted my Droid 2, Droid 3, and GS3, but this has been more complicated for me.
Anyways, my problem is, I was trying to wipe my phone so that I could flash a ROM. This is because I couldn't access my settings (I overwrote the original in an attempt to get rid of the multitask button). But while I was in CWM I factory reset it but I also accidentally deleted the system. My bootloader is unlocked, but now my phone is on and I can't get into recovery, and I'm assuming it's because the whole system is gone so there's nothing to boot.
Another problem I had (while my phone was able to boot up completely), Android File Transfer wouldn't work, I downloaded a rom for the settings.apk but it wouldn't let me transfer files between my computer and phone. I emailed the .apk to myself but since I couldn't access settings I wasn't able to pick my usual email (although now I'm thinking I should have just used the email I first signed in with). Not as much of a concern but input is still welcome.
I've looked up RUU but it looks like it's not available yet for Verizon. Any possible solutions would be MUCH appreciated.
Don't worry, your device is not bricked.
If your bootloader works well, you must select fastboot and flash the recovery via fastboot.exe in the command line. Now you should be able to get into recovery.
If you wiped your partitions, you can have a trouble with mounting /sdcard. Then you should get an OTG Micro USB cable and put ROM on your USB stick, but I'm not sure if TWRP recovery for HTC One supports mounting flash memory from USB host.

I tried flashing into recovery via fastboot but my computer doesn't recognize my device. And I'm pretty sure I had drivers installed since that's how I unlocked the bootloader in the first place..

Install the latest drivers and try from a windows 7 pc (or windows 8, win 8.1 doesn't work well)
Reinstall drivers if you haven't already and try the correct file for your 'Modelid' here. It's the only way I got mine to work again after i did the same thing.
Note: The file i used had a different software version but it still flashed ok.
After that, if you can find the right Nandroid you now have the ability to flash that

I was finally able to boot into recovery and thank goodness had a CWM backup. Thanks for your input guys.
ok, first off i am sorry to bother with this but i have ****ed up some how -.- i have had my HTC one rootet for a long time now. before this galaxy s3-4 and so on but this is the first time i havent found out how to fix by searching.
ok to start off. i got my phone back to stock using RUU methode. and upgraded it from 4.2.2(had it there for some time ) to 4.4.2 and everything went fine. untill i turned off the phone to unlock and root again. i got it unlocked, and tried to go into recovery just to see if twrp was still there. but here i get the red triange with "!" upside down. so i get the phone out off this screen and turns it on again. i think it is the recovery so i just boot it into fastboot and conect to the computer to install new recovery. but now i got more problems. the htc do not show up when it is in bootloader. i get it when i type "fastboot devices" in cmd but nothing in computer folder or anywhere where i can access it. i have tried uninstalling HTC sync, uninstall drivers, reboot computer, reset phone, install everything, and diffrent usb cables. also in device manager it shows with name My HTC and with the icon off a network.
but i do not know what more i can o now to get this fixed.
all help will be much appriciated
