Hi, I just got a HTC ONE and was wondering if I would be able to root my phone, without unlocking the boot loader and keep stock recovery, so I would be able to get OTA updates.
Any help is appreciated.

There's no simple root method for the One. You either have to unlock your bootloader or s-off your phone.

Takes a few steps, but your goal of root with OTA updates is attainable. I'll give you the quick version, assuming you don't need a detailed step-by-step on how to flash and use fastboot commands. The first step is to find the stock recovery file for your phone.
Unlock your bootloader via HTCDev.com (will wipe phone data) and go S-Off (method depends on bootloader version). You will still receive OTA updates with an unlocked bootloader if you're S-Off.
Flash TWRP and install SuperSU from there.
Boot phone, verify rooted.
Flash stock recovery to phone.
You're rooted and will receive OTA updates. The only potential issue is losing root access after an OTA update. Perhaps somebody more knowledgeable could chime in on that point.

as far as I'm aware, the only way to root the HTC one is via unlocking the bootloader, which then prevents the phone from receiving OTA updates, is it possible to root the HTC one without opting out of these updates?

I'm not sure about all versions, but I have the Developer Edition that came unlocked and I get OTA updates. I think it is more about CID, MID, and stock OS & recovery.

A good place to start is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228274
The key is to make sure you are confident you can get back to stock recovery and perhaps locked bootloader (depending on model) before you take the plunge. That way you can get back to a fully stock device.

Use revone to s-off and unlock then install cwm recovery, install supersu from recovery, install stock recovery. With supersu you can temp unroot for otas.

This doesn't answer your question, but usually somebody posts a zip for a stock, rooted ROM within a couple days of OTA.
Just root, unlock, and install a custom rom already.

If just bootloader unlocked, you cant update the firmware nearly as easily with s-off (or maybe at all, im not sure) but definitely checking Mikes Firmware thread under Android Dev, and S-off Revone thread under Original Android Dev will help. Also, if you are superCID (which you should be and should do so if youre not) here are the instructions for updating FW while soff+superCID (attached as picture) and i can verify i have followed these steps myself and they work. Hope i helped. If not, ask more!

What would I have to do, to get the OTA with TWRP recovery?
Can you flash the stock recovery?

yes. You need to be on stock recovery to get the OTA applied
I just download latest firmware from - http://www.sammobile.com
Then I flash it to phone and then flash the recory again.
Assuming you are familiar with adv and fastboot and they are installed on your pc.
With phone in fastboot usb (connected to pc, ideally usb 2 and win 7)
If S off
Procedure for S off
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip name_of_firmware.zip
Then repeat above command as directed.
then
fastboot reboot-bootloader
All done !
***************************
If S on
then your cid and mid must exactly match those of firmware.
and your bootloader must be locked
Use
fastboot oem lock
Then follow procedure for S off as above

android update after rooting
hi all,
I have Sony Xperia C6602
i rooted my phone using "towelroot" sometime back. it was working great for me so far. now i receive this OTA update message for 10.5.1.A.0.283 (i guess its android 4.4.4). I've read at many places about updating a rooted phone, and found below mentioned instances:
1-you will loose your root, and will go back to normal boring unrooted (but updated version) of your android
2-you will brick your phone
3-you will loose all your data
now i'm not sure i should go for this automatic update. don't know that much about android. please suggest anyone what will happen to my phone if i update it by default processes. also, let me know about the best way to do this.
also, lets say i update the phone and loose my root, but phone stays well. will i be able to root back again using towelroot just like previous time?
guys, please anyone help me out here. i DO want the latest update on my phone. but i DO NOT want to lose my root.

You are in the wrong forum, you might try the Sony Xperia C forum.

Hi Guys,
Is there an option to install Google Rom and then unroot the phone?
Thanks,
Gil.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
You don't need to be rooted to install the Google ROM, you need to have an unlocked bootloader.
./revone -l
Will lock the bootloader, but maybe only work on hboot version 1.44. If you S-Off first, then update the firmware, you should then be able to relock it with
fastboot oem lock
But you won't be able to use revone again to unlock or S-Off it, so you'd better be sure that's what you want to do.
So what are you trying to achieve?
Thank you Ben.
In my organization we have an application for mobile that checking if the device is rooted.
For me it's a bummer since I am loving to check the customs roms.
As a result I thought not to switch between roms but I still want to install Google stock Rom to see if I am receiving better battery life.
In addition I don't find anything useful in HTC sense.
I didn't understand why the process you describe is irreversible.
Thanks again,
Gil.

Most custom ROMs are pre-rooted, but I'm sure you can unroot, or perhaps install the original Google Edition ROM, which is not rooted.
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...

So I'm rooted, S-Off, and SuperCID, and I get the 4.3 system update notification. I know I need to have the stock recovery, but do I also need to relock the bootloader? And will I lose root access after updating? All help would be appreciated.
