Problems with Root - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I'm having issues flashing using TWRP. I've got S-off. But bootloader is showing Relocked. I inadvertently wiped without a backup and now I don't know how to get a ROM on my phone. HELP

You should be able to run a RUU, but I would unlock the bootloader, then flash TWRP, then a Rom. If you can reach fastboot then you shouldn't be worried.
I dont even think you can run custom recoveries without an unlocked bootloader.

I have fastboot but I'm showing relocked. How do I get the RUU to run?
I'm on HTC-one-sprint IRC node if you can chat that would be awesome.

you have to be relocked to run RUUs, so your on the right track. Josh has a good video that explains how to do it. whats IRC?

How do I unlock the bootloader from within the bootloader. I don't have a ROM on the phone. Can I hard reset? I've been struggling for a while on this.

since your phone is "relocked" im assuming that you have unlocked it before. Just unlock it like the first time.
if you forgot how to do it then heres another video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2N7G9lJiTo

I would do that but I inadvertently wiped and now there's no ROM on my SD card and I can't get one back on there. IRC is a chat you can get there by using http://webchat.freenode.net/ and using Channel HTC-One-Sprint.

Flash it back to stock using a sprint RUU (Rom Update Utility) . search the sprint HTC one forum for it download it to your computer and run the application (RUU) from your computer with your phone in bootloader mode with fastboot selected (highlighted) connected with the use cable. It will take approximately 10 minutes to flash. Thus will restore your phone to stock (factory). Make sure it's a Sprint stock rom for the HTC one. After it's back to stock. Unlock it.. Install TWRP RECOVERY. Download and copy the custom rom of your choice ( suggestion: VIPER ONE 1.1.0) to phone storage using the usb. Disconnect phone from computer and boot into bootloader and select recovery and wipe data.. Both caches and system then go to install and flash rom. Also make sure you flash superuser too before flashing the custom rom. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need help getting your phone functional.

Flash the GB ROM and corresponding kernel of your choice. You just can't go back to the old hboot... but can still flash GB ROMS on the new hboot.

Thanks for the help but I do not have my phone rooted right now. I've been trying for like the past hours with the all in one kit from hasooon, but I cannot seem to get it to work. I have unlocked my bootloader already. Would that be the reason why?

Could be. I'm pretty sure you need to relock your bootloader before running the RUU...
Is there a way to relock my bootloader? Also, I was trying from your superguide eariler but I just got super confused. If you could help me, that would be great.
I actually have ICS updated from GB today with the new AT&T. Now that I've updated my OS, I have no idea how to root my phone anymore because there are only posts for 2.3.4 GB. I've actually tried the permroot from hasoon, but I can't seem to get that to work.
Well, to relock the bootloader, you can either use hasoon2000's Vivid All-In-One Toolkit, which has pretty much everything you need to relock the bootloader.
Otherwise, you boot into the bootloader and into fastboot, and follow the steps for relocking the bootloader in part 6 of the Superguide.

I actually have a question. I can't boot into bootloader by holding down power and down volume...
Successfully relocked my bootloader. Many thanks!
Okay now to root my phone. Could you tell me the exact steps to do it? I am having a lot of trouble. I run it with debugging USB on, it will then restart my phone, first it will appear something like a circle with a down arrow inside it. Afterwards, there will be a triangle icon that's red with another arrow. On the Command, it will say device not found for all files then press any key.
Appreciate your help!

You need to unlock your bootloader once again. Then root it. Use the All-In-One toolkit, it will be much easier.
unlock bootloader > then flash the wcx recovery and that should root it.

So all I need to do is unlock bootloader once again, flash the wcx recovery, then I'll be good to go. I think the reason is because I flashed the first CMW recovery. That may be the reason.

Yea, the CWM is a bad idea on the Vivid. Wildchild did a very good job with his WCX recovery. Just unlock your phone again, then click the flash WCX recovery. Wildchild made his recovery so that when flashed, it would automatically give root.

I actually downgraded my phone from ICS to GB. I rooted my phone with zergrush. With my phone unlocked, now it went from temproot, to permroot. I am actually trying to find a rom for my phone that I can play around with without getting bored. I want to just leave it as S-On instead of off. Hope you can help with a little bit with that.

After flashing TWRP recovery, bootloader shows TAMPERED?

I'm a bit curious why my bootloader shows "TAMPERED" after flashing TWRP custom recovery.
I have the HTC One developer edition so I thought this kind of stuff (i.e. flashing custom recovery images) was OK?

Don't know for sure, but I thought this message showed up after I unlocked the bootloader on my consumer HTC One.

Yeah, I thought that was a warning for consumers who unlocked their bootloaders but I thought a developer edition wouldn't have this because it's meant to be fooled around with, etc.
Didn't show up until I rooted.

It shows tampered for when you change your boot.img.
I'm pretty sure the tampered message happens when you flash any recovery other than stock.
Not a big deal unless you need to return your phone in which you flash stock recovery and relock.

How do you flash stock recovery? After I do this, will it AUTOMATICALLY relock?
Thanks
It even shows TAMPERED when you fastboot anything. You don't even need to flash anything, a
fastboot boot recovery.img
is enough to tamper with the boot loader. Was disappointed at first but that won't void your warranty anyways and once we got S-Off we are done with it.

You flash the stock recovery just as you would TWRP/CWM using fastboot. No, you would have to manually relock your device (using HTCdev) as flashing the stock recovery will not automatically lock the device.
Thanks for the information everybody.
Does the tampered warning cause any other problems?

Wouldn't the answered be, because you did tampered with it?

Yeah, I understand. I actually rooted the phone for something but now I realized I didn't actually need to.
If I wanted to completely restore the phone back to factory condition, how can I do that?
I still want to keep the factory unlocked bootloader of course... (since it's the developer edition)

How to gain root with S-Off but bootloader locked

Hi,
My device is currently S-Off. I don't have root anymore and I relocked my bootloader. I'd like to be able to remove the test device message but all the links I found requires to have root or to go back to S-On. I tried using HTC DEV to unlock my bootloader again to flash custom recovery and then to flash supersu.zip but it didn't unlock my bootloader. I also tried to just do a fastboot boot customrecovery.img and also didn't work. Any idea if with S-Off, bootloacker relocked, no root access, I can removed the HTC test device message?
thanks

Check out this thread on unlocking your bootloader without HTCDev. If you are able to do that, then you should be able to flash a custom recovery. You can use the Guru Bootloader Reset tool to remove the tampered sign and I think the test device will go away.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I was referring to but I can't run that since I don't have root access. If there could be a temporary way of getting root access with a locked bootloader and s-off, that could probably work to use what's being said in your link
1) Which is the best recovery? C-Mod or TWRP or any other, i mean i want that to support maximum number of stable roms and that is widely used by developers. Can you suggest me a link?
AND
2) For any rooting procedure you first have to S-Off, then unlock the bootloader, root, then install a recovery and flash a ROM..........right?
AND
3) How to be S-Off and rooted and have Locked as a message on the bootloader?

That's not the goal of this thread but I'll still answer
It's up to you. I personnaly prefer TWRP over CWM but there's also Philz custom CWM that his pretty good.

Have you tried Weak Sauce to get root? I thought about it after reading about firewater s-off. This is a temp-root.

Yes I tried but as soon as I opened the app it crashed. oh well, doesn't really matter. I'm selling the phone as is (I bought the M8 )

if you're still looking for this, root access is available in custom recovery (so no need to mess with the ROM), and with s-off you can flashed a masked firmware using ruu mode:

Root Gone Wrong

I have a verizon htc one m7, and I unlocked the bootloader and s-offed using sunshine. I flashed a rom to make it a google play edition and when it loaded, nothing works. Recovery mode is a black screen that says google and has a small lock at the bottom. I can get to the bootloader but I can't reflash anything using fastboot because it says I don't have root permissions. Please help. Thank you

It looks like the stock recovery which make me believe you have not flashed a GPE rom but a GPE RUU?

What are you trying to flash exactly? From fastboot you can only flash RUU/firmware (in "fastboot oem rebootRUU" mode) and recovery using "fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img"
because it says I don't have root permissions.

Doesn't make sense at all
fastboot never ask/need root permission. Root is ROM related and the ROM isn't even booted at this point so how could it be possible?
Looks like you are not understanding correctly some concept here, better to read a little more or ask your question here

[Q] Unlocked & rooted, should bootloader remain unlocked?

So I unlocked(htcdev) and rooted(twrp) and now I wounder if I should re-lock for security? I read that the boot-loader could have an authorized os list. Since both the system and recovery are os's would a re-lock put twrp out of control?
Thanks
I'd like to know this also. Fortunately relocking seems to be easy.

Never relock with custom roms or custom recovery still installed on your phone, this will result in bootloop.
Only way to stop this bootloop will be to unlock again but unlocking the bootloader require the stock recovery to be installed.
So with custom recovery installed and bootloader relocked = bootloop = can't unlock again. You'll have to reflash the whole firmware in ruu mode to get back the stock recovery over the custom one and then you'll be able to re-unlock to stop the bootloop.
So short answer, don't relock when not 100% stock
Ich, thanks! Glad I asked first instead of taking the chance..
