Hello everyone
i have always been a samsung galaxy user and this is the first time i switch to HTC
i bought the HTC one developers edition and i've been looking for ways to root it.
all the videos on youtube are for locked bootloader phoneS and since the developers edition is already unlocked then the process is different.
can somebody please explain to me how to root the device step by step ?
thank you
I would use the All in One toolkit from the development section to flash a custom recovery on your phone (TWRP, CWM, CWM touch). I'm not sure about CWM, but if you use TWRP I believe it gives you the option to root while in the recovery itself.

Hi,
I am thinking about rooting my HTC Raider (Bell) X710a. I am, however, unable to find a simple enough method.
I came across this tool for the HTC Vivid (ATT) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003 And was wondering if I could use the tool on my HTC Raider.
If Not, Is there a super simple way to root my phone? I am really new to smartphones and am also fairly new to technology in general
Any Help would be greatly appreciated and thanked!
That's the method I used. I have the raider on rogers. I'm pretty sure it works for yours to. You have to unlock the bootloader first tho.
By the way that method is very simple. It doesn't get any easier in my opinion. Watch his video and follow the steps.

well when i did it it really didnt root it but unlock bootloader and flash the wildchild recovery when i go into hboot it says S-On so im guessing i didnt root it at all with the tool but i was able to flash a custom recoveyr

It won't say s-off even if you root the phone. You have to take certain steps to get s-off which is being worked on now. You should still be able to root your phone through wild child recovery. The option is there.

Go here, a video shows you how to root using the recovery.
Thanks and more

sir perhaps you'd be able to help me out since i got the phone from rogers as well. so i did try to follow this tool and watch the video, but to no avail, still im not able to root my htc raider
now the video doesnt seem like a step by step tutorial for me so i just did exactly wht he was sayin. now due to prev attemt before using this tool, i was only successful with unlocking my bootloader; so i skiped the part where i have to unlock it.
i was able to flash the CWM 5.5.0.4 and used the backup/restore to make sure if anything happen i'd be bale to restore my phone. after that i went straight to permroot, and all i got on the promt command was some adb stuff out of date. i assumed maybe i had to flash kernel first to make it work, but thats the part where i got stock on the htc white screen logo. im not sure what i missed; maybe you could help me out and give me a step by step procedure...
i could really use some help

Hi all,
I want to thank you for your help right off the bat!
I have an unlocked dev edition HTC One - I first tried to flash a recovery, tried to root and then add a rom.. i then figured out I didnt need to Root because when the bootloader is unlocked, you can just flash a rom and the Rom should have root in it. (At least I was told this)
I currently have a custom rom on here but How do I restore to factory settings with bootloader unlocked just like it was shipped to me? When i tried to restore through the RUU thingy, i had to relock the bootloader and then flash the stock image and this causes the dev edition not to really be a dev edition because it's locked once restored.
Is there something I can do or a step by step video? Thanks again

Hi,
I see this here but will this restore the recovery for the Dev Version of the HTC One? I am trying to make the device as if no one touched it sent from HTC with boot-loader unlocked, stock recovery, stock rom.. right now I have the updated rom 1.29... but the recovery is clockwork mod and the boot-loader says *Tampered* and the Unlocked.. when i boot up the One, the htc error is at the notification bar which says your device experience an odd recovery or something like that and you have the option to send HTC a report or not and it goes away.. im thinking this is because of the receovery not being stock.
I gave this device to someone who traded with me and im looking to help him restore it to factory settings. can someone help?

Hi All,
My One Dev edition shipped to me unfortunately while its bootloader is locked (!!!!_
I've sent HTC support team few email with the IMEI ans SN but was answered only that according there knowledge my device should be unlocked. When i asked for there support to unlock it, i was replied that i can unlock it by myself using HTCdev instruction but then i will have no warranty....
This was not the mean while decided to buy the dev edition...
Did any of you experienced such a situation? can you please advice?
I have a simple question.
I recently swapped my GS4 for a HTC One 64GB developer edition. I just like the freedom of custom rom etc. Anyway. I want to make sure the bootloader in unlocked. How do I go about that? Also assuming is unlocked I will nthen need to root before I can install a custom rom correct?
I know very noob questions!
Thank you
I use Hasoon's tool kit here for everything. Plug in and select reboot to bootloader and when it comes up on the phone it should say unlocked.

Awasome...Thank you I'll give it a try!
Ok...so my bootloader is unlocked....I can use the same tool to root? The tool has an option to perm root...is that it? Or do I install custom recovery first?

Hi
greetings,
First install custom recovery
now if you want to be on stock ROM then flash root.
and if you want to flash a custom rom directly flash the custom ROM as custom ROMs are pre rooted roms
and yes perm root is the option.
and using toolkit is a nice way but i would suggest you must try to do things manually. Toolkits are 100% safe but doing things manually increases our knowledge its my personal experience OR you may use toolkits but later at-least give time to read threads which explains things which have to be done manually will help you in future.

I know I'm unlocked...but not rooted...so my question was if I use the same toolkit to root my phone

Do you have all the necessary files for this? (ADB, fastboot, TWRP img file, and SuperSU zip)
626(s) is totally different from 626... ive tried it and does not work. i had to buy a XTC2CLIP to get it back to the way it was and have a unlocked bootloader as well... still in search of the 626 root tho
I have the ATT 626 and it worked flawlessly for me. Download the TWRP IMG file then flash it through ADB commands. Then download SuperSU flashable zip and flash in TWRP. Not responsible for any damage though, just trying 2 help!

Well recovery don't work and it's basically destroyed my phone tried flashing the ruu but nothing is working if the phone dies I have strip it to take battery out to start it again so yeah I'll wait for propa root process thanks anyway guys
Sent from my HTC Desire 626
The process for root for HTC phones are unlock bootloader, flash recovery, flash SuperSU zip. To use RUU the bootloader needs to be locked. To root, bootloader must be unlocked through HTC dev portal. This is the "proper" way to root.
Well as you can see my boot loader is unlocked and I'm still stuck.. I can't wipe my phone I can't do anything can anybody give me some answers
Sent from my HTC Desire 626 using XDA
You must relock the bootloader first. Then you can use the RUU for your device.
Code:
fastboot oem lock
kingroot
ok my friend so heres what i did i first had to unlock the phone was google locked bought it from somebody else for 20 bucks i thought what a steal well maybe it was don't know but only to find it was google locked after 4 days of various work arounds i figured one out myself based on youtube workarounds and one i figured out got it unlocked didn't want to mess with a lot of bs so tried kingroot to no sucess until i unlocked bootloader through htc tried kingroot and voila another day and time i will twrp bootloader and super su it but for now just want to enjoy my new toy.
Hope this will help you and others out!
