Hi, i've updated my HTC One , international version, to Android 4.3 last week, via OTA Update. Now i want to unlock the bootloader and root it. Since all the tutorials on the internet are for versions lower that 4.3, i don't know if the process is working using the same software and drivers. So far i couldn't find an tutorial explaining how to do this on the officially released android 4.3 version. Do you know what are the diferences, and if possible, which software i have to use ? Thanks !

Unlock bootloader, flash TWRP recovery and when you reboot it from recovery it installs root for you.
I asked what are THE DIFFERENCES in rooting Android 4.3 than the lower versions, i didn't asked for the steps which are the same.

use the same methods you used to get Google Editition to update when a new OTA comes out, youll get a ROM here before the OTA is even shown on your phone
Hi guys
Please excuse my question, I HAVE searched and HAVE read a plethora of threads before I posted this... If this a duplicate I APOLOGISE profusely!
I bought a HTC One last night and have spent some time playing with it. Sadly I am still on 4.2 with Sense 5.0. I contacted my local carrier (Vodacom South Africa) to ask when the 4.3 update will be coming and the response I got was "we have no news yet".
I don't find that response acceptable so I'd like to get myself to 4.3. I do not mind losing OTA capabilities and was wondering if I would be able to flash my phone to a stock international version of 4.3 with Sense 5.5?
I've seen OTA downloads available as well but I do not believe my CID would match, so I guess this wouldn't work while I am still on my carriers official firmware.
I have no issue unlocking the boot loader and rooting, I just wanted to ask if this is possible / advisable?
Many thanks guys!

Yes it should be possible, you need to
unlock bootloader
root
s-off
change cid to international (i.e HTC__001)
change mid to international (i.e PN0711000)
run the ruu of international version
uptade to 4.3 via ota
re-unlock bootloader if needed
re-root if needed
what are your current CID and MID?
Code:
fastboot getvar all

Hi guys.
Many thanks for the replies
It seems I may have gotten myself into some trouble though... I've been following the steps to install the Android Revolution HD ROM and I seem to be in a situation where I have unlocked the bootloader, I have a recovery installed (TWRP) but I have no operating system on the device... and no ROM copied to the internal SD CARD on the phone.
I cant access the file system through Windows and I appear to be stuck
Busy Googling to try and find a solution, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

one of these methods:
1) OTG cable
2) adb push
3) adb sideload
Does your internal SDCard show 0MB for size inside TWRP?
If it shows size then go to TWRP > Advanced > ADB sideload, plug the phone in the computer, download a ROM, and then type adb sideload romname.zip
These are not exact steps but you get the idea..
Thanks a lot for the responses, you guys are great!!!
I have flashed the Android Revolution ROM and am very happy so far
Hey guys, I've recently received my HTC international. It came with 4.2 but I updated it to 4.3. I've unlocked the bootloader and do have TWRP as recovery. Now I'm trying to root my phone and also s-ff but I run into a problem because my hboot is version 1.55.
I've tried various of different methods to root my One, they all complete successfully, get a shortcut for supersu still not rooted.
Can anyone help rooting One with hboot 1.55?
You only have to flash this...
Just tried. I am getting the same message I did before in SuperSU... "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!! If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device."
Just to clarify, this device was not rooted before 4.3. It's a new device. I took it out the box, plugged it into my pc, UPDATED to 4.3 (which updated hboot to 1.55) and then I started looking for ways to root. Unlocking the bootloader worked perfectly but cannot root :/

Are you running stock rom?
Yes. I am running the official 4.3 update. Maybe I should have mentioned this before, my aim is to get the Google Play edition, 4.4 on this device. As far as I know, I need to be rooted, s-ff for this.
Ain't there another way of doing this? Eg, flashing Android Revolution 40.0? what would happen if I tried flashing this on non rooted device? is there a way it would root the device?
I was able to root my device using openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7 as recovery. SuperSU 1.80

Install Android Revolution HD 31.6 then use rumrunner to s-off. That's what worked for me.
Hey guys. Well I have an HTC One from Sprint and I wanted to sim unlock it. I didn't know that with android 4.4 kitkat it is impossible (so I've heard on diferrent places) and can't get a prompt for the unlock code when I insert a diferrent sim card other than Sprint. Turns out I needed to root my HTC One to downgrade the android version. I rooted my phone and flashed a 4.2 version on my phone but now I don't have touchscreen functions. I got pissed because everywhere I look for help the instructions are not clear or there is no step-by-step assistance, only a bunch of people saying "go to this site and do this and then download this and blah blah", when I follow the links I just get outdated info with more links to outdated info. So right now I just want my HTC One unrooted but with an android 4.1 or 4.2 stock version but I can't find any accurate, info for dummies. Can anyone help me? I'm kinda desperate by now. If you need any software info about my phone, kernel, radios or things like that just let me know. I'm so tired of searching with no luck that I just want some help step by step like a newborn baby. Thanks in advance!!
Maybe u should try to flash some ROMs like Viper, it will activate ur phone automatically. My sprint htc one is running Viper5.0, and i am using Chinese carrier SIM. The phone works quite well.

between 4.2 and 4.3 the touch firmware changred you need to have 4.3 or above to use touch and your recovery has to be the latest for the m7wls(sprint)example:TWRP 2.6.3.0 I would advise installing a 4.3 rom, if you want to downgrade your firmware to 4.1 you'll have to use an RUU OF THAST VERSION but you need to be s-off to do so.
I forgot to mention that the ROM I flashed was ViperBoy's Sprint HTC One 1.29.651.10 stock Odexed. I have TWRP 2.6.3.0 flashed as well. I am S-On right know.
The reason why I want a ROM below version 4.3 is to be able to unlock my sim with the unlock code. With 4.4 I can't make that happen because there is no prompt for entering the unlock code.

Hi
I bought an at&t htc one (m7) mobile from the us
i managed to unlock it with a code. My issue is that the current software is android 4.1.2, Sense 5 and the mobile cannot find the updates (guess because I am outside of the US)
What should i do to get the update
can I download the latest software from the internet and do a flash recovery? or should I flash it with earlier updates first?
Is there an easier way to update?
Can you please explain how to do flash recovery?
Many thanks

You will only get OTA if you are on ATT. To get the update if you are not on att you will have to flash the ruu or root and flash one of the zips.
since you are outside US i would recommend you to flash an international stock rom on to your phone. If you manage to install a stock rom with its stock recovery you can get automatic OTA updates and be running the latest sense 6. but it depends on how much you know and how much you are willing to read and learn.. what i would do
1. s-off
2. supercid
3. modelid: PN0710000
and then install the [SYSTEM DUMP][07.06.2014] HTC One *STOCK* ROM | 5.11.401.10 | KitKat 4.4.2 | HTC Sense 6.0

Thank you all for the replies
I sent it with a friend back to the us because I could not find simple step by step instructions
My friend made the update using the AT&T software update option
However, he did not get the sense 6 or the newest Android version
Does he need to do it several times?
Many thanks
