I have no idea what model it is, I have no forms in the box, so how can I tell if it supports LTE? I mean, actually check it out, not read about it.
Thanks.

Reboot to fastboot and then from pc "fastboot getvar all" from command prompt in pc adb folder.
You're looking for product from the list returned..... if it's an m7_UL then it's LTE or if it's m7_U then it's not.
After S-OFF on 1.54, I just checked "fastboot getvar all" and found meid as all 0. Is it ok??. Althought I don;t remember my meid from stock, but i do have backup of both 4.1.2 and 4.2. Will it help? Thanks for any help.

I think meid is only for CDMA phones (eg SPRINT, VERIZON), for GSM phones I think it's all zeros. shouldn't be a problem.

Well the the only "fastboot getvar all" that show a non-zero meid were Sprint and Verizon. the two GSM (one M7_U and one M7_UL) both show zeros in the meid (before and after unlocking/rooting/etc).
Also don't confuse the MEID and the MID which stands for Model ID and all Ones have a MID.

The unbranded HTC One is the UK is the general World Wide English (WWE). There is no way u can check on the box. If the seller is willing 2 let ur use the device,
then open fastboot nd type "fastboot getvar all"
(bootloader) version main- x.xx.401.x
(bootoader) product- m7_ul
(bootloader) modelid- PN0710000
(bootloader) cidnum- HTC__001
These shud be the main identifiers. Rest all data in the getvar all doesn't really determine the region

As the title of the thread goes, can anyone tell me what's the easiest and fastest procedure to root this device. I am not very much of a root-geek and therefore do not possess much knowledge in this rooting platform however I have rooted one of my previous phones Samsung Galaxy S3 and I remember it was quite easy and straight forward but then I decided to stay away from root for a couple of years but now I feel like experimenting again on my htc device. So could you please tell me how to root this phone. I have an unlocked htc device so any root procedure that explains in detail how to perform root and also if wanting to go back to stock rom how is that performed.
Thank you.

Rooting the m7 is fairly simple. Although there are many variants of the M7. Ensuring you use the correct files is about the most complicated part of it.
The procedure itself is the same for all types of m7 as long as you use the correct recovery and Rom for your particular variant.
You say it's unlocked so first question is. Do you mean SIM unlocked or Bootloader Unlocked?
Please can you post the Output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Please remove your IMEI and Serial numbers before sharing this info. For security you do not want to make those 2 numbers public. The rest of the getvar info will help to identify your exact M7 variant. :good:

I also have a m7 100% stock that I wish to root (and then possibly sell?) that is running whatever flavor of 5.0.2 from T-mo pushed down recently.
i tried some rum something tool to get the S-Off last night it didn't work ...
I will watch this thread being all the guides are 2 years old

So you'll need to unlock the bootloader first.
To unlock the bootloader, you'll need to create an account and follow the instructions at htcdev.com/bootloader.
You'll also need the sdk tools (fastboot and adb).You can download the sdk tools here: https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other
Be aware that unlocking the bootloader will wipe your userdata partition (factory reset) so backup your important files first.
Here a video guide how to unlock the bootloader, watch it first so you'll be familiar with the process.

Also can you tell me how I can backup my current stock rom as a recovery procedure to get back to original if I dont like the custom rom? I am unrooted right now and would like to backup this so in case something goes wrong with the rooting I can always get back to my current rom.

Open your folder where you have fastboot and adb installed on your computer (the android sdk tools)
hold left shift and right click a blank space in that folder, select "open a command window here", in the command window type "fastboot getvar all" without the quotes and hit enter. (your phone mus tbe booted in bootloader mode with the "fastboot usb" red caption active.

The only way to backup your stock rom is using a custom recovery...
There might also be a RUU for your version if you want to go back to stock if needed, would need to see the "fastboot getvar all" to tell you if one is available. Btw rooting the phone will not turn your stock rom in a custom rom, it will only become a rooted stock rom.

I am trying to input the command "fastboot getvar all" however it does not work. I was wondering for this command to work, does the bootloader have to be unlocked before you can perform this command? I am still unrooted and trying to input this command but it does not work. It says Fastboot USB highlighted in RED and I have prompted a command window in the folder which you mentioned about.
I want to make sure before I unlock the bootloader that there is an RUU for my device in case I need to revert back later on as once the bootloader is unlocked my current partition will be deleted, is that right ?

No, the bootloader doesnt have to be unlocked to use this command.
You need to have the HTC drivers installed on your PC, and the phone needs to be detected in Fastboot mode by the PC for the command to work.

Need the output of the above command to be able to tell you if an RUU is available. But then, the M7 is a fairly common phone, and an RUU should be easily available. Where are you located? In all probability, I think this is an M7_UL

So its the EU model, will most likely be M7_UL, but run the fastboot getvar all anyway.
For drivers, a simple Google search for HTC drivers should provide links for HTC Sync Manager....plus several links on this forum itself. Pls use the search function

Thats the RUU you want. And I say this again, please DO USE the search function on XDA, or Google. There are thousands of threads and articles to be easily found on how to flash an RUU, how to unlock the bootloader, and how to root an HTC, the process is standard for all HTC devices

After unlocking the bootloader the next thing you need to do is flash TWRP Recovery.
Downloads here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
Download TWRP 2.8.5.0 And put the image file in your fastboot folder.
Connect fastboot usb in the bootloader the same as when you did the getvar all. Then flash it with fastboot
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
After it reboots select recovery from the bootloader menu and it will load TWRP. Then from the twrp menu choose Backup. And make a backup. Then reboot the device from twrp. You will get a notification asking if you want to install root. Select yes. The phone will reboot and will be rooted :good:

Thanks for all the info, is it easier rooting with TWRP like you just mentioned or CWM? I have heard from somewhere that clockworkmod is rather easier but I dont know the exact difference.
