I'm the proud owner of a new HTC One and have unlocked the bootloader. I'd like to root, and I've done quite a bit of searching here and elsewhere on the subject. Can someone point me in the right direction for information on rooting the HTC One specifically?
Any advice and/or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks. I've tried that, but it doesn't want to work for me. I get a "device not found" error whenever the command line box opens.
Reboot the device to fastboot and then close the first screen. Do the option to install custom recovery Team win then go into recover and hit reboot when it reboots it will ask you if you want to root. It's a ***** to set up HTC ADB driver in windows 8 64 bit sometimes but chances are the fastboot will work and if you've already unlocked the bootloader then you are good.
Never mind. I can't even get the newest version of HTC Sync Manager to see the phone. It keeps telling me the device isn't connected. Whenever I plug my phone in the drivers for Android Phone fail to install. Frustrating as hell.

Good day, I have a HTC velocity 4g running on ICS 4.0.3, rooted. Unfortunately, when i tried to view my recorded videos in gallery, it keeps on crashing saying "Unfortunately, view video has stopped". but i can record and take pictures with no issues, and also i discovered the stock music player also crashes, also saying " Unfortunately Music has stopped", can somebody please help me as this is very hassle on my part. I just bought this phone from a pawnshop. I tried hard resetting the phone 3 times but still the error appears, and also when i bought this phone it is already rooted. I hope someone expert here can help me, im a newbie in android. Thanks in advance for the help and god bless.

Get an ruu from HTC website and run it...
It will return your phone to stock and hopefully fix your problem...
Just make a back up of your media that you have on your internal sd

RUU = ROM UTITLTY UPDATE
basically a stock rom update for the a carrier/manufacturer
eg:
Official AT&T Vivid ICS RUU from HTC http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1564776&highlight=ruu&page=3
[STOCK] RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_BM_ for bell mobile http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662390&highlight=ruu
If you have a Velocity, you probably don't have ATT.. so don't use that RUU. here are all the Holiday RUUs (http://www.filefactory.com/f/002b74e0f4775869/) (thanks @Football)
Oh i see, so I need to download a RUU to update my velocity? do i just need to connect it with the usb cable after downloading the RUU? Thanks for the help. Its really mind boggling for me to understand any customization or upgrading a phone. Thanks for the help

if i remember correctly.. in order to install a RUU
You must have a locked boot loader ( locked by default) , so you need to check if yours is unlocked , which I suspect it is since rooted.
I think u will also loose ROOT.
after you run the ruu , its easy to relock the bootloader and root
get familiar with the SUPERTHREAD and the hasoon all in one tool kit...

To use ADB or Fastboot your phone has to be in USB Debugging mode Set this in Settings/Developer Options on the phone.
My HTC One is bricked and is not starting, HOW should I do that?

Manners cost nothing and generally help you to get a reply.
That being said, without further information it's hard to help..
What did you do to brick?
Can you get to bootloader?
Can you get to fastboot usb?
The more information you provide, the more help can be offered. Remember WE aren't holding your phone. WE can try things on it. That will fall to you, all we can do is offer suggestions based on as much information as you can provide.
If you bricked it trying to s-off or burning an RUU or accepting an OTA whilst you had a modded hboot then things might not be looking too good but without knowing, there's no help we can offer.

My HTC was kinda bricked 2 hours ago. Can't charge can't boot to recovery or boot loader . Only thing was try to reset using hold power + vol down but wasn't working . The capacitive buttons keep flashing forever
But I used the adb commands to get it back booting to recovery .
U need the adbfiles in the same folder as cmd command prompt usually it's win 32 if u start it in administration mode .
Type adb reboot bootloader

its best to put it in the same folder as the cmd starts from
Also its advisable to keep à rom zip handy in yr sdcard . In case things go wrong u dont need to rely on adb commands

I can help, first I need to know which HTC One you have, what carrier.
Once youve found out which carrier head over to the sticky with all the stock RUUs and download the one for your phone and carrier (if youre soff then just download anyone) then hold power and vol down to get into bootloader, press fastboot. Plug in your phone and dont touch it... Open up command prompt (assuming youre on windows) and go to your fastboot location... Type in "fastboot oem lock" wait for it to relock youe bootloader... Then type "fastboot rebootRUU" then wait til your phone shows a different screen, the RUU one. Now open up the RUU .exe and run it. Your phone will now be at stock.
That should work if you have fastboot working.

I don't suppose you could do the same for me?, I'm in exactly the same boat, Factory unlocked HTC One, can only get into bootloader and TWRP, no OS installed, can't get mass storage or HTC MTP drivers installed so not way to get a new OS on...... I'm an idiot., If anyone can help I would appreciate., tried the steps in post 2 but command prompt just says waiting for device.
Sorry for the thread hijack, its just that its virtually exactly the same as whats happened to me.

Thank you, thats about 3 hours away?.. Sorry Im in the UK so guessing.
Nice to see you are a red, I was born in Liverpool and a red too. :good:
Im not sure what info you want?... much appreciated anyway, thank you.
Hi Everyone
I humbly approach you today with a HTC One issue, that needs solving as I have no phone as a result.
So to put it simply I Unlocked and Rooted my device through this guide .
/watch?v=kJYAS2KN17Y
Following that I proceeded to gain S-OFF, or at least I believe I did. Checked the Bootloader after and it said S-ON :S Through this guide.
/watch?v=NeFwsqU4YL4
All seemed well up to this point, so then I followed to this guide to install 4.4 KitKat on my HTC One (I am based in the UK, and the network my phone runs in is O2).
/watch?v=AySbx90YB-s
However as it turns out, my phone will now turn on, I will reach the default Android Language Selection menu, and my phone reboots automatically before I can even press anything. I have tried to re-install the "bigxie_Reset_M7_3.62.401.1.zip" several times, and nothing has come from it.
So I attempted to restore my stock HTC rom, using the "RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_A4.13.3231.27_10.31.11131.05_release_310878_signed.exe" and it fails every time, and it also detects no image when I run it, it simply shows what image it will install.
Additionally I tried all possible USB ports on my computer to check for a faulty USB port with RUU, I have tried to push "Guru_Reset_M7_3.62.401.1.zip" through CMD (I am running windows of course) and naturally it hasn't worked (the push). Having not made a Backup because I blindly followed the tutorials, I have nothing to go back to.
I think the problem is that S-ON is enabled and I can't seem to find how to solve it, or enable S-OFF using the AIO Toolkit and pushing Revone. Anything that could help me get my phone working, and hopefully with stock Android will be greatly valued. Thank you for taking the time to read this .
Do not lock bootloader

I am not so good at android but.......a way to S-OFF HTC One would be using this video - /watch?v=MCMJkVbIiIg
It basically uses rumrunner to do so and for me it worked flawlessly
Hope you can fix your One soon.
FIXED!

Thank you for replying guys!
I actually managed to fix it by pushing TWRP instead of CWR and then installed Android_Revolution_HD-One_31.6.zip got my OS back and now trying to enable S-OFF.

Gratioz!!!!! Good luck for getting S-OFF.
I used rummrunner to get S-off. Works like a charm. Takes a bit of time to do it though, don't close it whilst it's doing it's thing!

thanks for the link, my device isnt even s-off and never has been, so to mess up this bad without s-off scares me,
i have the new M8 on the way and should be with me tomorrow so im not too upset just kinda makes me a little hesitant about flashing in the future.
i will keep an eye on here to see if there is any way to fix and the link you provided,
thank you again,
