Fastboot flash wcx recovery. Boot to wcx recovery. Then find the rooting option. It should work.

Thanks must not be seeing it as option to root. Will give another go after work. And also what is meant by "s-off" and "s-on" and how does it effect function of devise post root?

Security off or on. As far as I know, it lets you flash kernels from recovery instead of having to flash in fastboot mode with adb.

And my noobness gets worse.....what's the dif between a kernal and a Rom?

Unlocking boot loader didn't erase phone

So I went to unlock my boot loader by typing in fastboot oem unlock and it said the lock state was unlock. Then I flashed cwm recovery and flashed SU/busybox through cwm, rebooted and everything is still there! Anyone know why it didn't erase everything? I also have root, and am still on stock. Thanks!

Huh...I wonder why some phones don't get erased when the bootloader is unlocked...Hopefully someone knows because I'm curious!

I "just" think that your phone/anyone that isnt delete any thing because it is a factory unlocked.
(Just think)(cuz some phone does)

Factory unlocked has nothing to do with the bootloader. A factory unlocked phone is a phone that is SIM unlocked and can be used on any GSM carrier, not locked to one specific carrier. The unlocking they're talking about here (bootloader) is what allows the security of the boot loader to be set to off and allows a custom recovery/kernel to be flashed which can then be used to grant root access which means writing to the system partition. All phones (even nexus) ship with a locked bootloader. The nexus is not encrypted and can be unlocked easily, which is what we are talking about here.

Mine didn't wipe either, didn't pay much attention to it.

It is a bug introduced in 4.1 I believe (the Galaxy Nexus has the same issue). It can be fixed with any future update to the bootloader so you can't depend on it not formatting on unlock.

Tried rooting my HTC one but was unsuccessful. I ended up relocked my phone. Now I ha

I tried rooting my HTC one with qbking77 video tutorial. Unlocked the bootloader but couldn't root upon many unsuccessful attempts. Eventually relocked the bootloader.now my phone is given me tampered and relocked and security warning. I can't even turn off the phone. Anytime I try to turn it off it goes to fastboot mode. Is there anyway I can have stock android back on my phone and get ota. My network is three in the UK

This thread. This topic. I'm not filled with hope.
What do you mean, "Anytime I try to turn it off it goes to fastboot mode"? Did you flash recovery.img? How did you mess up unlocking the bootloader it couldn't be easier.

Unlocked boot loader all right. It was the rooting which was the problem. I tried and tried and when I couldn't do it. I relocked the bootloader. The phon is working alright but sometimes when I want to turn the phone off especially when I am in meetings it just won't go off. It goes to fastboot mode

Relocked bootloader

I picked up an HTC One that turns out has had the bootloader relocked. Is there anything special I need to know or do to unlock it and root again? I've previously used qbking77's method of unlocking the bootloader. Thanks in advance for your help.

[Q] Flashing my phone

I was wondering if after using the unlock code on my phone, does that mean that the bootloader is no longer locked and that I can flash recovery? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

What do you mean by unlock code?

NO. Not the same, as stated above. The unlock code is for using any SIM card in that phone. The bootloader is totally different. Your bootloader is still locked. You will need to root the phone then install safestrap if you want custom ROM's.
