[Q] From Samsung Back to HTC, Root Help? - Sprint HTC One (M7)

So i went from an S3 back to HTC, and i chose to get a One obviously. I havent been on HTC since the DINC (throwback)
I wanna root this phone so bad. but ive used my trusty friend google and found some places showing how to root, unlock bootloader etc but theyre kinda outdated aka before the 4.3 update
So what i wanna know is.. i did the OTA 4.3 update for the Sprint HTC one that means yes my hot boot was updated.
How do i root?
unlock the bootloader?
get S-off?
What makes it even more stressful, is that im using a F'ing mac and have no other option
Step by Step links would be great.. Thanks again guys

[Q] Cutsom ROM for Salsa(S-OFF Rooted)

Are there any custom ROMS for salsa which is rooted but S-oFF?>?
To install custom-ROMs you need S-Off or an unlocked Bootloader. What does your bootloader show (which version, s-on/s-off, **locked**/**unlocked**)?
Those ROMs come often with Root but sometimes you have to install Root access manually.

ROM's do not come with S-OFF, you make it S-OFF which isn't a good idea personally, i know this from experience. as i am S-OFF and have unlocked bootloader.
theschneidi is right check what u have first then respond
I have unlocked the bootloader from htcdev and installed Clockwork mod recovery and also rooted my phone but it is S-OFF so can I install any custom ROM on it??

NO because that would be infringing the XDA rules(Search function or check other Salsa rooms)., and YES I'm sure or we wouldn't be sitting here with a custom rom and huge internal space.
My HTC Salsa touchpad becomes insensitive. some keys doesnt work occasionally.

Being fair, i request you go back into our general section and search for it.
If you don't know what root is, i'd suggest you find out before venturing any further.
But to flash u have to unlock your bootloader, and then flash a recovery program. Lots of guides in the main sections, use search if lost.
The guides were made by me and designed/written so a kid can follow it. If you get stuck in some places i can help you. But if you haven't a clue, read first then attempt it.
I'm always around, so if your desperate PM me or Email me via my profile. I am on Hangouts(Talk) also using [email protected]

Yea I'm sure it will come, just wasn't sure if anyone was already working on it(facepalm, dirtyracun, etc). It was about two months after evo lte release before we got soff but being the one is a global variant and has Qually chipset, I'd imagine it shouldn't be too long. No rush just curious. This thing is a beast just stock rooted. I put sense 5 on my evo lte, so had an idea of new os but love it. Screen, sound, build, speed, all BEASTS!!

+1, have never used htcdev before.....my last 2 phones I was lucky enough to be able to use revolutionary. Will gladly wait for TRUE s-off instead of half assed unlocked.
If I decide to be impatient and root with htcdev will I still be able to get true s-off once it is available? Or will I be stuck with HTC's version. Sorry for the noob question but I've never had to use htcdev to root before. My evo and evo3d already had s-off methods when I got them. Tia!

All of the recent S-OFF methods for the HTC Evo 4G LTE actually required you to be HTCDev unlocked first, so if history is any indication, you're safe.
On the other hand, don't blame me if things don't work out your way. It's your decision and yours alone.
I believe in you! :good:

Mine did that too when I activated it, I was like wtf - but I don't know if it was an ota update or not. Could have just been doing something else. I mean the phone has only been out on Sprint for a day, not really a lot of time for them to push one unless it was something critical.

[Q] stock apps missing, factory reset is done but unsure of bootloader status

Hi guys,
I did a factory reset of my phone a few days back and now I realized I can't find the calculator app and a few other stock apps. Just to check if factory resetting via the phone will cause this?
I didn't unlock the bootloader but I'm not sure if it's been unlocked before either. I bought this phone from a stranger. Anyways to check if it's been unlocked? Will appreciate any help given. Thanks in advance.

Initially I didn't want to unlock the bootloader for fear of warranty issues, since it's been unlocked before, I'll probably start exploring custom roms, heard they're good but will lose the ability for stock it's updates.
Guess the person relocked, unroot and flashed back stock firmware?

Question about root?

Hello, i just need to root my phone to install some apps that require the phone to be rooted, do i need to unlock bootloader for that or just root my phone by installing CWM-SuperSU-v1.30.zip through recovery?
Thanks
For flash the file, you need a recovery, and for flash a recovery, you need and unlocked bootloader or the s-off ...
Use the all in one toolbox that will walk you through everything from unlocking, flashing tarp/cwm, and rooting
If you use the all in one you will lose all data on your phone. If you do S-off by revone you do not lose data. I did the all in one method myself, but backed up my entire sd card prior to unlocking.

Sorry but I didn't know of the Revone method until after I used the All in one toolkit. I prefer to start fresh when unlocking anyway. Gives you a chance to get rid of junk on your SD card. I haven't looked to much into the revone method but supposedly you do not lose data.. I would backup first regardless of which method you choose.

Stuck on relocked bootloader

Hey guys,
A couple of days ago I recieved my One after I sent it for repairs.
They fixed my camera issue but changed my phone back to s-on. So now i'm left with a relocked phone with s-on.
I can't seem to re-unlock my phone by using htc's unlocking guide. After flashing the token it doesn't go into unlocking mode.
So i need some help with that. I'm on hboot 1.56 and 4.4 stock sense. Not rooted. Stock recovery.
Htcdev isnt able to help me so i completely rely on you guys.
Golden tip means a nice cold one.
Cheers

have u got a new unlock token or is it the same one as u used earlier? If u are using the same, I guess it may not work coz of the newer hboot. why don't u try getting a new token using another email id and trying the unlock bootloader process.
Also, it would be better if u uploaded a snapshot of the error message
Thanks for helping me. I have already tried 4 new tokens on different emails. I'm not getting any error message. It flashes succesfully.
But the "Unlock mode" doesnt pop up. It did when i unlocked it the first time.
Believe me when i say that i tried everything known to men ^^.

Already tried the toolkit 1000 times. It's hopeless..... Htcdev is now compiling a completely unique token for me.
Got a guy internally over there who takes care of unlocking issues. So i'm hoping for the best.
Cheers
Got the same problem.
New phone I'm afraid.
Or a VERY slim chance of an ruu, but I doubt that as I've already reflashed the firmware, and an ruu would only add system and data to that.
Don't have the option for an ruu anyway as I'm on 3.62.401 that or something newer isn't available.
So.. if you're guy sorts it I'd love to know how.

Yeah its a very weird issue. My guy sent my issue to their bootloader devs. They are now compiling some sort of RUU that will completely reset my phone to when if came out of the factory. So that means: New bootloader, s-on and locked. I really hope it works since this is driving me crazy.
Ofc i will let you know if it works. I also asked @mike1986. for his help. He's kinda the god of The One.
Cheers
Cool.. what firmware you on? Model etc..
