Maybe it's a bit too early to ask, but since we don't yet have a separate forum for the Google Play edition of HTC One, I'm going to ask the question here.
According to HTC Blog, GP editions bootloader can be unlocked with "fastboot oem unlock" command, so all rosy here. Now the thing is will we need a new specific version of CWM just for the GP phone or can we use "recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-m7.img" on it?
More specifically for me, I DON'T plan to flash CWM onto the phone, I want to keep stock recovery to receive OTA without problems, but I do need root for some apps to work. My plan is to use "fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-m7.img" command and flash SuperSU. That would be my only use of CWM on GP phone. So we do I need to wait for the release of GP version of CWM or can I just use the ...m7.img, maybe even CWM version for Nexus 4?
We have to ask to see the first One GE Edition for the one for seeing which file and which guide we need to use to unlock the phone.
However, probably, the CWM can be used.

I have the same exact question that you asked. Did you manage to root without installing custom recovery. If yes, which CWM version did you use?
You can use the same CWM version as the regular One. However fastboot boot recovery does not work on hboot 1.54. So you need to flash CWM to root.

Phone replaced, came w/ 1.54 Bootloader & 2.24.401 OS-Version How restore Backups?
Hey,
I am pretty frustrated right now
I had to get my HTC One replaced and got a Version in return that obviously has the 1.54.0000 Bootloader and the OS-Version is 2.24.401.1.
For years I am using TitaniumBackup and regular nandroid backups as my backup routine.
That's what I did before I sent the phone in, due to an hardware issue.
I don't want to unlock using htcdev, I see no point.
An as I can tell right now there seems to be no option to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and root with one of the other methods, such as revone or moonshine.
Okay, I can probably wait a bit and hope for an Exploit...
But how can I restore the app data of my daily driver apps from either the TitaniumBackup or the nandroid, without root in the meantime.
To be honest...not having root is the worst.
Is there any option that I missed?
Thanks
You can root but you can't do s-off

I wouldn't care much about S-OFF (don't want to change my CID or anything), but with my bootloader locked, I can't flash a custom recovery and by that I can't flash root.
Well then it seems like there is indeed a point to unlocking the bootloader
You're only options are to wait or to use htcdev.

Is there no option to temporarily root? (That I maybe lose after reboot?)
Just to at least restore backups of my daily driver apps?
There is indeed a way to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery. Go look for the many toolkits in the htc one dev sections and you'll be able to do what you're looking for with not too much trouble.

Well then, i'll have to agree with everyone else. You'll have to unlock the bootloader via htcdev in order to install a custom recovery. That should be point enough in order for you to do so if you would like a custom recovery. Not like there are any disadvantages to having S-OFF.

*sigh...I guess it's late (Don't get me wrong...I totally appreciate that you take the time to help, but it's just slightly off topic :angel
I would do that without hesitation if I could, as described above
there is not yet an exploit (nothing else do revone and moonshine use) that allows to unlock the bootloader with HBOOT 1.54.0000, which came with the latest updated, which obviously no gets shipped with replacement devices as well...
So yeah...I am actually at this point where I decided to stock with the Stock-Sense Rom and just wait, but still I need some way to restore my apps. At least conversations, logs, stats etc. from certain ones from my previous backups.
But I couldn't find any option to root it temporarily.
Can't you downgrade using the same method done to go back to stock and then do s-off?

As far as I know I would need clockwork or twrp to flash any stock image.
Or do you know of any downgrade method?
Thanks :good:

You can flash via fastboot?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
Do you mean the custom recovery? If so, then I can't, as this "modification" is blocked by the bootloader.
Or do you mean the stock image with another bootloader?
To be honest, I don't know. And couldn't find something about "downgrading" to HBOOT 1.44.000 :/
Fastboot can be accessed via computer and having your phone in bootloader mode and clicking fastboot. I'm thinking that installing a custom recovery would be blocked, but maybe you should be able to install another rom that has root? I'm just throwing ideas. I haven't encountered this problem. I do know that you can't s-off with 1.54 though.
Hehe yeah...it's blocked in fastboot
i've never heard of flashing roms via fastboot...doesn't it "only" have access to the bootloader and the recovery?
So I guess you'll need s-off to downgrade the hboot.
You need s-off to downgrade.
You need a custom recovery to root.
You need an unlocked bootloader to flash a custom recovery.
The ONLY way to unlock 1.54 is htcdev.

Is there no way without root to restore backups of Apps, by restoring them from a TitaniumBackup or nandroid Backup?
I once used "AppExtractor", but it requires root as well.

I appreciate the sarcasm. And the answer is no, which is what I was trying to tell you. The apps require root because to do what you're trying to do you need root access. Nandroid backups are specific to custom recoveries, and even if you pulled the files from the nandroid, you couldn't push them to the rom because you'd need a root explorer.

Okay...flashing recovery obviously is possible from fastboot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44623360&postcount=4716
By that:
--> Recovery --> Root with S-ON?
What are the potential risks or problems that one might run into using this method?
i will lose the stock recovery
if something goes wrong and i want to revert back to the stock image, flashing of the update.zip via fastboot to do so, will be blocked, due to S-ON (and of course the current version's image is not yet available)
hmmm....
I have a developer edition that I want to return to stock recovery and get the 4.3 OTA update. I'm a bit confused about the best method and during my research came across the downloads on the HTC Dev site. On there, I see that they have the 4.1.2 zip for the developer edition. This raises two questions that I'm hoping someone can help me with.
1) Will this return me to stock and remove the CWM recovery so that I can complete the OTA update?
2) If so, how do I use install the .zip? Do I simply use the CWM recovery tool to install it? Can anyone provide a link to how to complete this?
Apologies for the basic questions, but I'm very confused at the moment.

What firmware are you on?
Unless you're S-off you can't flash a RUU that is lower than your current firmware version.
RUU.zips are flashed in fastboot RUU mode. But if you can use the .exe file it'll automate the whole process.

I'm currently on 4.1.2. I just got the phone and all I've done is flashed CWM recovery to root it and install TiBu. However, I didn't think to update it to the latest update.
So, would I be S-off on a developer edition?
Also, I understand fastboot, but not fastboot RUU. Is this accessible in the CWM recovery mode?
I really appreciate your help. I'm getting a bit frustrated.
Dev Editions are not S-off.
Do a search and read up on S-off, as you still have the opportunity to gain it, but the possibility will be gone once you update.
"fastboot oem rebootRUU"
"fastboot flash zip ruu.zip"
"fastboot flash zip ruu.zip"
(Yes, twice)
Check to be sure everything was successful.
"fastboot reboot"
I'm not sure if you need S-off or not to do it though...

You can't flash a bootloader that is not intended for your phone variant, you will brick it. But wait, you are talking about TWRP which is not the bootloader, its the recovery. You can't neither flash a recovery that is not intended for your phone variant!! Recovery and bootloader version have absolutely nothing to do with the message you got about your sim card.

Stop flashing things that are not intended for your M7VZW !!! You will end up messing your partitions. Go read the forums or ask here before doing thing you don't understand.
There also a specific forum for the Verizon Htc one here, you could probably find more precise information for your phone variant.

You are right, my mistake - I mean recovery flash
I was using HTC HD2 on several androids builds before so I get to use with partition mess
All I neet is to get rid of verizon from my toy. Do you think that flashing fimware, radio etc could help ? Something like described here for m7vzw phones http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46506621 but for m7.
I'm trying to convert my at&t one m7 (running sense 6, android 4.4.2) to a google play edition. I've got S-off (via sunshine), root with supersu installed as a system app. (verified with root checker). Bootloader is unlocked (I have tampered message) and CWM touch installed. I've flashed Elemental X which says it disables HTC's write protection to system. I find myself unable to flash any rom. It can't mount system. I can't even fully wipe/factory reset with cwm since I don't have access. Everything I can find tells me that flashing an insecure kernel will give me access but I have no luck after flashing elemental x (also tried bulletproof). Any help would be appreciated.

So you have s-off and you want to convert. Why not just using a GPE ruu (like the 5.0.1 posted in the dev section) instead of messing with kernels and roms? Btw don't know why you need to have system write permission to do a conversion... It make no sense to me... you want to write something to a partition that will be overwritten when converting...?
That'll work? I'm not too familiar with htc specific hacking. Mind pointing me in the right direction?

Hi Guys I have been searching info for rooting HTC one M7 and version as title says.
Many Thanks
You didn`t bother to use the search field at all now, did you?
Get latest SuperSU flashable ZIP file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 and flash it in a custom recovery, like TWRP or CWM.
Option 1: use sunshine ($25) to s-off your device. It will unlock your bootloader as well. Then install a custom recovery, make a nandroid backup before rooting the device, then flash supersu. You're rooted.
Option 2: unlock bootloader through htcdev website, install custom recovery, flash supersu.

You cannot go wrong with Sunshine. It does some compatibility test first to make sure it works on your device. If everything is fine then the payment prompt pops up. I also used it as firewater didn't work on my device and didn't regret it. $25 is a fair price towards the developers I think. :good:
