Root my new HTC One - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
I just received my new HTC One. Before i just had Samsung Phones (S3,Note 2,S4,Note3..) and I have no experience on HTC with unlock,root etc..
I just want to:
-Root phone
-Install Custom rom
what is the best way for doing this? I have read that there are methods to root my phone without unlock it with HTCDev. Is that right?

You're going to have to use HTCdev to unlock; on hboot 1.44 you could do it with revone, but not on 1.55

Thanks! :good:
That means, that i lose warranty if i unlock via HTCDev, right?

No you shouldn't loose warranty, just requesting a unlock tocken, doesnt actually mean you used it (if they actually bother checking??), and there are quite a few guides to go back to 100% stock (including my guide, in my signature... shameless advertising )

That's a good guide, but now that the newer tools are out, you can even remove TAMPERED and set to LOCKED not relocked.

Agreed but he has to start somewhere and it's as handy a guide as any.

totally correct... no provider or manufacture cares esp htcdev... i had to return my on 3 different times all were unlocked and they never bothered to check. It was because of the camera too. I returned the phone 3 times to sprint they didnt care at all... the last time i didnt even bother returning it to stock. When i got my 4th phone and saw taht the camera was still **** i wrote a letter to htc and sent it to them... they replaced it and never ever ever questioned me why it was unlocked.

I know that if you can get a Windows Vitual machine running on Mac you can do it.
Then when the RUU is running you can search for the ROM
Check it out. I know if you use the HTC one AIIO toolkit you can flash the extracted data to your device. Even the recovery.img from a stock RUU.
Let me know how you get on

Lock the bootloader with revone and flash a RUU (European or WWE), like this one http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...13323127-1031113105-release-310878-signedexe/, then run revone and remove tampered message (if you have that) in bootloder but i would keep S-Off if i we`re you forever.

Unfortunately it comes up with this, and then fails at updating a while later. Turns out my hboot is 1.54 so I can't use revone right?
I remember there is a method of tricking the ruu in to thinking the device is older.if I'm not mistaken it's the changing of the cid
But someone would need to verify that one

You probably need S-Off for that right? I'm on the 1.54 hboot and the s-off method only works on 1.44 I think.
The thing is, I just noticed factory reset did not remove root.. So i'll try to unroot it first and then run the update agaib.

[Q] Unlock bootloader without HTC Dev?

I tried search for something that could answer this question I have, but couldn't find anything, so i'll ask it here.
Do we HAVE To use HTC Dev to unlock this device's bootloader? I saw there are 2 S-OFF methods available, do those unlock the bootloader?
I'm coming from an EVO 3D and I remember just using the Revolutionary method with HBOOT 1.40.000 and it was a smooth process but once new versions of the same device came out, people had to use the HTC Dev to unlock before a workaround came out.
If there isn't any other method, is there any production of such a method where you don't need to use HTC Dev?
Again, i'm just now switching over to this section of the forums (after watching the progression for a bit already) and just trying to get an idea of what's going on with this device.
Thanks!
P.S: the reason i ask this is because i'm not sure what AT&T's outlook is on unlocked\rooted devices for any warranty purposes. I've returned a device to S-ON, reinstalled the stock RUU and returned a device (my Sprint EVO 3D) and didn't have a problem, but I don't know how AT&T is and this new HTC One device.
Using HTC Dev is the only way....all the toolkits in this forum will direct you to the HTC Dev website as they issue the key in which you need to unlock your bootloader.

[Q] S-OFF Through HTC Dev with 1.54 Firmware

Hi guys,
just one quick question. I have my phone stuck in S-ON after upgrading into new firmware (HBOOT 1.54). It is clear that revone (the one I used to S-OFF the first time) is currently unable to S-OFF my phone right now. Therefore now I'm considering S-OFF through HTC Dev. Will HTC Dev S-OFF work with 1.54 HBOOT?
Another question would be, apart from getting wiped and lose some application, what disadvantage will S-OFF through HTC Dev brings?
Thanks for the help
you can unlock the bootloader and install custom roms/kernels but no s-off, which might be a problem if you need to send your phone to warranty because they could deny warranty on the re/unlocked status of the bootloader.

I didn't S-ON it on purpose. It went S-ON automatically after firmware update and few resets. I have no slightest idea why it went S-ON. So... it seems I'm doomed for now...

With the HTC ONE toolkit you can unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery.
Very easy. I'm in the same situation at this moment. hboot 1.54.
I also got a question about this.
When I'm in the toolkit and I want to use the mainver error fix I always get Device not Found. Is this also because i'm on hboot 1.54 or maybe not a correct setting somwhere (adb?).

Go there, register an account
http://www.htcdev.com/
after that click on the "developer center" button and right in the middle you will find a "unlock bootloader" button
click on it, follow instructions, but make sure you have a full backup of your storage cause it will be erased
S-OFF is a security flag that gives you permission to "play" with organic partitions of the devices system in a way
you don't need it for having custom recovery, after you unlock you can flash a recovery the exact same way you did with S-OFF or restore a backup you did before reverting to complete stock
S-OFF for most users is only a solution to not losing warranty after unlocking as unlocking actually voids your software warranty and in a way the hardware warranty as HTC can claim that the unofficial software you used actually damaged the device.
If I helped to make you understand in any way I am glad but please if you don't understand what these procedures do or how they work in a general sense it's better not to use/perform them, if you are in any way like me who spent the better part of a salary to buy this phone it would be a shame wasting all that money bricking it out of ignorance, if not, it's still a shame.

Yea it wipes everything so I suggest you back up anything important to you before you unlock... And there aren't any other cons except the fact that it will wipe EVERYTHING (apps, contacts synced with phone, music, pictures, etc.), thats the only con to it

I think there is some confusion here for the OP.
First, S-off and unlocking your bootloader are 2 completely different things. To install custom recoveries, and therefore custom Roms and kernels, you need an unlocked bootloader (I am not sue what all the talk of relocking was about). The only way for you to unlock at this point is with HTCdev, and this will wipe your device unfortunately. Their are guides to unlocking and rooting your phone in this very forum

[Q] What's all the fuss about S-OFF?

So I read about S-OFF and I can gather that it has something to do with unlocking the bootloader. I'm a little confused since I just went to the HTC website and did the official unlock steps, I'm now rooted with clockworkmod CM10.2, and my bootloader is S-ON.
Basically, I never did S-OFF so I'm confused about why it's so important and why didn't I have to do it?

Some carriers are the only users option in their area.
Like for me, that carrier would be Verizon. They have great coverage.
But they also happen to be evil and had HTC block our HTC One's MID from being able to use the HTC Bootloader Unlock bin file.
It will fail the initial checks after getting the token from you.
We also have the 1.54 hboot as stock, so there is no using moonshine, or facepalm, or any other previous method as of yet.
So in order for poor folks with carriers that strongarm smaller companies like HTC into doing things against their wishes and our wishes,
S-off allows us to then change CID,MID, etc,...as well as then go and unlock the bootloader as we should be able to do by choice.
That's why they built it and added in a warranty void warning, so we could make that choice if we so choose.
Anyway, that should make it more clear to you now at least, sorry for the extra carrier rant, lol.
Plus the obvious other advantages of flashing radios, kernels, etc,...without doing fastboot.
Ah okay. So S-off does similar to the HTCDev unlock? If I used S-Off instead could I get rid of the ugly warning text on boot?
Htc dev unlock only needed partitions. S-off unlock ALL

Yes you could get ride of the warning text with s-off, with s-on you cannot.
Everything what's said above + more , for example if htc one windows version ever gets ported s-off users can have it , we can also convert our device into ge edition / dev edition / flash whatever comes thru your mind , even splash screens , use modified bootloaders , we can also unlock bootloader without need of HTC official unlock process , we can lock it as well ( s-on can only relock it ) we can also completely hide we ever were rooted / unlocked for warranty reasons while s-on can't.
We can also use super cid which allows us to flash any ruu or use any region / carrier roms.
We can also downgrade bootloader or flash any other.
That's mainly it , also for example us with s-off have writeable partitions while for example s-on users still don't on 3.22 base.
And at the end maybe a good thing for you and some less advanced or less knowledgeable ppl s-on is a good thing since with s-on phone is practically indestructible software-wise , while with s-off small mistake even in fastboot could brick the device.

To get official OTA with updates to firmware, hboot and everything you have to get them from your carrier, and this depends on your CID. You cannot change this on S-ON. So basically your are bound to your carrier for life, they may but also may not release updates (like for ex. carriers in USA skipped 4.2 if I am not mistaken). You can of course flash custom ROM using dev unlock, but it won't update the firmware.
Ah okay thanks for the info! I have one more question about S-OFF if you don't mind: If I S-OFF and disable the red warning (flashing an unsigned fw), then S-ON again, would the warning come back?
If you do s-on with modified hboot will result an instant and forever brick. Dont do that.

Htc One return on warranty

Hi guys
i want to send back my phone due to faulty camera. I have to questions:
do i have to back it to stock? I am s-off with custom rom (ARHD), custom recovery etc. If not i wont bother myself.
If they will replace to a new one or reset my current one, what kind of software will I have? Will I be able to s-off and root it? As they probably will install the newest official rom.
cheers,

Yes you need to return to full stock,, ie locked not relocked, tampered removed stock recovery installed. Can't give an answer if you should be S-On or stay S- Off. Some have reported that warranty was void others have said HTC repaired it with S-Off.

1) You will have the exact same software as the one you gave your phone in. The max HTC will do is install the OTA's. NO alterations to the software will be made if you give the phone to them with the correct MID, CID and bootloader condition as it was out of the box
2) Yes, I gave in my phone after RUU'ing it because of the purple tint issue. After I got it back, bootloader unlock, root, S-OFF were perfectly achieved the same way I did initially
3) In some countries, free repair is done even if S-OFF. Others aren't so lucky. I would recommend that u go back S-ON to prevent headaches later. Otherwise, ask any person who has given their phone for warranty repair in your country
4) The person above has given the link to the guide. I trust you know which RUU to flash

ok i have one problem, i flashed RUU 1.20.401.1 but now i can not do any OTA updates, its telling me that phone is up to date
I think it depends on your country. I left my phone S-Off and unlocked and they noticed but did not care. Someone in UAE had the opposite experience. What's the law and what are the customs around purchases with minor manufacturer defects in your country?

Just check your bootloader. Make sure it says locked not relocked and there is no tampered warning..

Yes its locked, s-on etc. Everything should be fine, I already sent the package with phone hope I will get it soon, and hopefully new one!
ok i got my phone back.
Unfortunately its not new
I wrote them that camera has pink effect and USB socket is not working properly, What they replaced is: camera (actually now works good), back cover and now its kinda strange, mat (unpolished) weird in touch and Audio Speaker, i dont know why. Probably they damaged back cover and audio during camera replacement, but they forgot about USB socket.

Did you have used htcdev or temproot for the bootloader unlock? I do return here in Italy and I don't now if sent it relocked or use htcdev and set it like locked
I did back to stock tutorial, so there was just LOCKED in bootloader.

Ok but in the past, when did you unlock your bootloader for the first time, do you have used htcdev for obtain the token or other tools without htcdev?

I did htcdev firstly and then I used some soft from here to obtain S-OFF, actually without HTCdev you can't do S-OFF, can you?

until a few days ago you could use the temproot method and then s-off with firewater.. but with the new hboot, some user can't unlock!!!
