Unlocking was the hardest part (lose all data and likely no backup )
Just flash any (compatible) recovery and reboot into it.
Then flash su.zip to get root access.
Hey I do apologise if this has been brought up before, I have searched and I must have eye sight problems if it has.
Anyway I am trying to unlock bootloader on my HTC one via htc dev. S ON and not rooted.

And it still tells me UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER FAILED.
why is this :/ can someone please tell me a solution ASAP?
I am on CID HTC_001 if thats any help

I have kingroot installed no custom rooms and software version 4.3. I have tried to update my software and it stops at about 25% every time. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks
You will have to do the Restore to MJ5 tutorial in the general section.
Root normally screws up the update.

What if i wanted to remove everything from the phone root/safestrap and go back to stock?
Root doesn't screw up the update- Kingo does. I was in your exact shoes.
I did the MJ5 restore, rooted, did the OTA update and then did step 10 again for root. Works perfectly. Then I did Drakey's GPS Fix and now everything works great.

I'm sorry, that is incorrect. Root will mess up an update. Kingo roots the device, that is it.

Perhaps anecdotal, but I went in circles with Kingo. Couldn't unroot, couldn't update. Its method of rooting is not the same as other 'conventional' ways.
After restoring and rooting via the MJ5 restore process, I updated to NB4 with no issues. I didn't need RootCloak or anything of the sort. There are others. I haven't read of others successfully updating w/Kingo root. I could be wrong.
I did remove the root using kingroot web site but the safestrap was still there. I could not up date the phone. So i reinstalled kingroot again and iam back to square one, a rooted phone but cant up date.

open safestrap uninstall recovery then go to your app manager and uninstall bootstrap then unroot
So here my problem like an idiot i tryed to unroot with out deleting any of the apps and programs (safeboot,titanium). So i had to to reroot and the safestrap is still there. I have dont see this file in application manager, but if i restart my safestrap comes up on my screen. Its safstrap 3.71 (twrp v2.6.31) i dont see a delete button.

I have been buried in XDA threads for a few years trying to learn as much as I can (thanks for that by the way)
The title of this thread is Can't download update so I hope I am asking this in the right place.
Plus over time I have come to learn that jerrycoffman45 is damn good at this stuff...
First off when I go to the MEGA site (https://mega.co.nz/#!Hd1QnA7b!MV5i7du4oim9zKLArQl51tTYiymqIXMhaALsMjFHRyQ) to download the "Coming from JB" for KNOXRAID KITKAT ROM V5.1 it works normal until it gets to 99 percent.
I've tried it on all 4 of my computers with the same result = is there another way I can get it?
Secondly, after I install the AllianceROM (thank you RErick) and am setting it up, my phone starts playing the boot animation like it keeps restarting like every other minute or so.
I really want to use the AllianceROM and could not find anything related to this when searching the thread or the entire forum.
Any help would really be appreciated!!!
Try using Internet Explorer or Chrome to download from Mega. It is a picky site.
Try to do a factory reset in the stock recovery. I have had to do that a few times right after installing a ROM to get it to boot properly.

try downloading the mega app then downloaded it on your phone with that app now for alliance rom sounds like you might have a bad download if there is no md5 to check i try opening the zip on the computer usually if it is bad it will give a error if the download is good reread the op for the rom and make sure you are following the instructions to install the rom and this is not the right thread for this you should have started a new one if none of this works pm me
edit try what graydiggy said first
I was going to suggest the mega app, but since he seems to be having trouble with booting, it was pointless to mention.

I used to reed these threads and told myself that I would not waste the developers time with questions I could find the answer to my self...
That being said I did follow the instructions to the tee
I also tried creating a new fresh slot in safestrap and wiped it and flashed it a number of times following the examples given at different points of the threads
I have learned to follow the process that drakeymcmb has posted (wipe 3 times flash twice) on every install I do especially it its not working
I have 3 separate zip files downloaded to cover the corrupt file issue BUT I have not tried graydiggy's suggestion
If that does not work I will PM you if I figure out how to do that...
I try to give you as many thanks as I can and understand why people donate = you guys deserve it
Heck, I have paid good money for support as an IT manager and the techs were not as helpful as you guys are
One thing more, could you please direct me to the best thread to learn the proper protocols for XDA posting...
Thank you again

I just got a Z1 C6903 and want to unlock the bootloader/root so I can flash a stock android rom (= nexus like rom). I have only previously rooted Nexus devices - is there a one-click root tool that will do this ??
Thnx, and sorry is it was posted before I'm new here
Take a look over here

No need to unlock the bootloader to root, just follow my sig. But to install an aosp ROM you will have to unlock the boot as well

Okay so I have never rooted and unlocked a device apart from Nexus'. Is there a Complete guide on how to do this for the .108 firmware?? And what do Ioose when unlocking the bootloader? Is it safe? Should I unlock the bootloader and then root the device following your guide or the other way round? Thnx
Please only start one thread per question, I have locked the other thread you started about this same issue.
First root, follow my signature for guidance (4.4.4 is the easiest to root)
Then backup your TA partition, look in the cross device development section for the TA backup thread.
Finally you can unlock the boot http://bit.ly/1okTnqd.

Oh sorry I needed answers fast Anyway thanks allot for your help!
Also, you should know that you do not need to unlock the boot loader to install a custom recovery. You only need root. And one you root using the newroot method you will have cmw recovery installed.
You only need to unlock the boot loader if you want to flash a custom kernel, or flash a custom rom based on a custom kernel such as CM, AOSP etc

I want to Install Cm and get stock android. Can I use a Ta partition backup tool? And how risky is this?
Yes you can use it, I have advised you to do it. There is no risk, it just copies your trim area partition so you can restore later if you want to relock your boot loader

This is the only video I can find but the website now looks totally different
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvUIu5EG3ng
The website has gone through an over haul, but is exactly the same process.
You can use flashtool but you still need the unlock code from Sony.
If you have installed the fastboot, flashode and z1 drivers in flashtool then you do not need to do anything else.
Connect in fast boot mode, type
Fastboot devices
Then you should get a reply back with a serial number.
Then type the command to unlock the bootloader with the code you get from Sony.
To install the drivers from flashtool, goto
C:\flashtool\drivers and run drivers.Exe
Choose fastboot, flashmode and z1 drivers

I am on pacman rom 4.4.4 right now and I am trying to downgrade back to unrooted stock ICS so that I can sell my phone. Also my phone is S-OFF and unlocked, I currently use it with T-Mobile. I've looked at many forum posts but none clearly describe any way to do it and if someone can point me in the right direction. I also was hoping if the phone will still be unlocked if I returned to stock. Thanks in advance.
Use the search on the vivid forums for RUU and you should be able to find a post with detailed instructions on how to perform a stock firmware install.
