First off I would like to thank everyone on this amazing site for all the advice, guides and tutorials.
I unlocked my nexus bootloader and flashed a couple different roms. I really like the rom manager so I've used that to download roms and then flash them using that app.
When I downloaded the stock version of 91and flashed it, the phone no longer seemed to have root or clockwork recovery but my bootloader was still unlocked. When I downloaded rom manager, it could not get super user permissions, this being useless in flashing a backup or new rom. So I used universal one click root to gain root access and then rom manager was able to flash a backup.
I know this may be a dumb question but hope someone could explain to me why I needed to re-root and why I lost clockwork recovery...?
Thanks for the help in advance.

Right theres your problem. stock roms dont have root built in you have to root them again. unless you download a prerooted stock rom. hope this helps.

Yep this seems to be your problem. If you're wanting stock with the basic add-ons then the first link in this thread is your answer: Link.
Thanks very much. That does make sense. I thought unlocked bootloader meant I was rooted regardless of rom! I'm in way over my head lol. Looking forward to learning more...thanks for the new rom link as well

The advantage of unlocking your bootloader means you can flash a custom recovery from Fastboot mode, without having to "root" the ROM. Next time this happens you can just boot into fastboot and flash clockwork from there like this:
fastboot flash recovery PATHTO\RECOVERYFILENAME.img
so say you download clockwork and save it to c:\sdk\fastboot named recovery.img from a command prompt you enter the following
cd \sdk\fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
once it is done flashing you can do this
fastboot reboot recovery
and that should take you into clockwork where you can flash your favorite ROM (or restore a backup).
Thanks for the help. I will be sure to try that method out next time. Very helpful.
OK did anyone here successfully rooted there HTC One? I really want to root mine badly but there isn't a "STABLE" root process for me yet... well I am a n00b... :/

I think the process is: unlock bootloader, flash recovery, flash ROM, done. ROM should have root access by default.
That's if you don't mind leaving stock stock.

Ok there is some root process that requires "S - Off" before you can even root your phone... don't know what that means... :/

That can't be used yet because only a few limited people have S-Off. Use the tutorial thread in development forum and that gives you a step by step guide of how to do it all.

Make sure you are flashing a 'super user' like software from cmd before you flash a new Rom, and I suggest having clock work mod recovery flashed, I currently have the touch one, but I think I prefer the classic. Some new roms are buggy with the touch

I unlocked and rooted my regular Sprint 32GB M7 and it went really smoothly - I used the All-In-One program with the Sprint version and there is a special Sprint SuperSU version that needs to be used for Sprint. I paid $200. for this phone - don't see any need for developer edition of phone.
---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------
Also I used the TWRP (TeamWin Recovery Project) for my recovery and it works really smooth. Phone shows S-On - not sure what the difference would be if S-Off was showing.
Hi.
I am a bit stuck with something on my HTC and I thought I would try to get some answers here as people seem very knowledgeable!
I recently rooted my HTC One and everything was going well. Yesterday a message came through to my phone that there is an update available so i downloaded and tried to install. Unfortunately it will not unstall on my phone - it just goes into the mod recovery screen. Is there a way of installing the file via the custom mod recovery screen or am i missing something?
Thanks if anyone can offer any advice!

You need stock recovery to install official updates
I advise flash a custom rom, because is better then a rom stock with root!
And you can personalize it with mod and other, a lot of mod will not work

If you just moved up to 4.3, root implementation has changed, so you need to flash SU from recovery the first time.

I'm having similar issues with my HTC One, I unlocked and rooted and installed Maximus HD 13 rom - that's when I started getting problems with SuperSu - first the update issue, now it says no binaries.
I tried installing it from recovery, I even tried CWM, then reflashed TWRP. Still nothing, same error. No binaries. Driving me bloody crazy.

Do a full wipe and start over, flashing rom and then supersu together.

Yeah it looks like that's what I'm gonna have to do, should I wipe boot as well ? Maximus HD installs the stock kernel as well, wondering if it also installs hboot. Afaik /boot is split into boot and kernel. Wouldn't wanna wipe the entire device, install the ROM, reboot and find myself with no hboot !

hboot and boot.img are two different things. No rom will touch hboot. Only way to change your hboot is via RUU or OTA, or to s-off and flash in RUU mode.
All roms include a kernel, usually the stock kernel. That will overwrite whatever you had there before but you should still wipe /data.

Thanks for your replies man! Really helpful ! I installed Maximus HD again, formatted everything I possibly could... it comes preloaded with supersu. Still says no binaries... What the hell should I do

Did you flash the supersu zip separately in recovery? I've had to do that every time I installed a 4.3 rom.

Alright, basically what I did today is I wiped every single partition I had access to, so everything but boot and recovery. installed maximus HD 13, installed faux kernel, installed faux kernel camera fix. Maximus installs supersu by default, I opened it up and I got the stupid no binary error. So I went back to recovery and attempted SuperSu 1.65 from zip, still the same problem. Please note that I did all this BECAUSE of my issues with root, funny how after nuking the whole phone I still have the same problem. I've google extensively, and pretty much the only advice I've found involves either rooting from recovery or changing something in SuperSu settings, which I CAN'T ACCESS because the app closes right after the error prompt pops up.
I'm a few desperate attempts short of attempting an exorcism...

I have not used Maximus, so maybe you should move over to that thread. I had the same issues with ARHD, but flashing SuperSU in recovery after the rom flash took care of it. In all likelihood, you're not the only Maximus user to deal with this, so the answer may be over there.

I don't know what changed, but i changed TWRP for CWM, installed the rom, then immediately installed supersu and it worked. I love you. I want you to have my babies.

Alright, so SuperSu WORKED. Until I flashed the faux123 kernel, at which point it stopped working again. Same issue, no binaries. So I reformatted the whole phone, installed Rom, then faux123 kernel, then SuperSu. Same issue. No binaries. I can only conclude that installing the kernel causes the issue. Hope this helps someone who has the same problem. Gonna stick to stock kernel for now

That's odd. Are you sure you're flashing the right kernel? I had no such problems with the 4.3 version of ElementalX.

Pretty sure I am, "m7-faux123-Sense43-007m.zip" and "faux123-jb43-sense-camera-fix.zip". Did you have to root again after installing ElemntalX ? Just finished reinstalling ROM for fourth time today, going to check SuperSu works, go back to recovery, make a nandroid backup and perhaps try ElementalX Is there a kernel control app for it ?

I only had to flash SuperSU once. I use TricksterMod.
I've experienced this problem on two different ROMs (different variations of the same problem, actually). In both cases, flashing the same SuperSU .zip fixed it. Link here.

Yes we have a locked bootloader. We have to use safestrap instead of the usual recovery like cwm or twrp.

Hi there, I have a question also,
Do I need to flash a custom rom using safestrap and then flash the script, or can I just use safestrap to flash the script on my ATT stock rom?
Thank you in advance.
