[Q] obtain root without unlocking

I need to root my phone without unlocking bootloader. I have read about motochopper being able to do that, but cant find any post about how to do it on Htc One. I know revone uses it to gain root acccess... can anyone please help with this. thanks.

What carrier are you on?

at&t. I cannot unlock bootloader. I need root access so i can fix that. thats why i am asking if i can do it with motochopper like revone does... I just cant find anything that uses motochopper for rooting. closest i got is revone which uses it internally and doesnt install superuser files.

Hi I have the same question,
I would only need root access to get rid of flip board and some useless apps (at least for me). I bought my HTC carrier free (with unlocked sim).
Cheers

don't see a problem going with htcdev. its safer. but even if you use another program, the "bootloader" will still show (tampered). there's a few tutorials how to removed this but not sure if available M8 mini

No. The only way to root ATM is to unlock your bootloader

Why cant you root with HTCDev?

im not sure that the warranty will still be okay if we unlock it
plus the phone is from orange and it might not work

you will loose guarantee either way as the bootloader will show as tempered. More chance to keep it valid if you use the tools HTC provided.
Orange should work just fine. Just try...
On another note i sent 2 phones for repair to HTC "unlocked" and they never charge me for the repair.

yes, i was thinking of only gettin root and not unlocking bootloader

You can undo the root and unlocked bootloader, before you send it to HTC. If you cannot undo because you have too big problems with the phone (frozzen phone,...) they cannot controll it either.

not possible as far as i know.
I just need root permissions for some apps. But there is no way to get root with looked bootloader

yes you can undo and get back to full stock but hboot will show "Relocked" so they will know you mess with it.

[Q] Can root lead to unlocked bootloader?

Since root has been achieved will this aid in unlocking the bootloader? Did it ever happen with the S5?

Root and bootloader unlock are two very different things tbh. Just because we have root doesn't mean it'll help unlock bootloader. Only thing is that maybe the devs attention will be turned to BL now that they don't need to worry about root.

Ok, I didn't know if having greater access to the system would help with the bootloader issue. Thanks!

Finding root gives you elevated access to the file system. To get a customer recovery, the bootloader must be modified (which requires root to access). But, to modify our locked bootloader to put on a customer recovery, you'll needs it's encryption key. Without it, no changes can be made and the 'chain of trust' is broken and the phone won't boot.
