Hi,
I've sent my HTC one to repair. It wasn't rooted or S-off or even unlocked. It was mint. Now it came back and I want to root it...tried every possible way...and it fails.
HTCDEV does not work, and I've found in many places telling the same thing that once your motherboard is changed...imei is also changed and therefor it's not unlockable using HTCDEV.
I really need it rooted for an academic project...anybody has any ideas?
BTW it has the 1.54 bootloader.
Thanks in advance to all!

Hi Yatindroid,
After applying this Temp Root Method to S-OFF, can I get permanent root ?
I did not used the old unlock.bin.
Thanks

Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373697 and download: HTC Sync (Installed then uninstalled for ADB drivers).
IncS main version downgrade toolkit v2.0.
RUU used for downgrade.
Extract all the files from the downgrade toolkit to your PC and run runme.cmd, following the instructions on screen.
Then run the RUU Downgrade (takes a while, around 10 mins so be patient).
When its finished running, you can verify if you have 1.13.0000 hboot by entering hboot (power on phone + vol down).
Then you can run revolutionary to get your s-off!

It is an attempt by HTC open up the phone for customization by developers. It unlocks the bootloader so that you can flash a custom recovery, a custom ROM and a custom boot image, but it falls short of being full S-OFF (security off).
If you have installed the latest OTA update which updates the phone to Android 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 then the HBOOT version is 2.00.0000 which cannot be S-OFF or downgraded, so unlocking at HTCDEV is your only choice at this point in time to root your phone.

hi guys ! i need help my htc incredible s710 e has stuck on welcome screen so i decided to unlock bootloader 2 flash new rom now i have got unlock tocken from htc dev and when i flash it i get a confirmation message sure to unlock here two options are there yes/ no when i select yes option nothing happen it stuck there only in case of no it reboot but again stuck on htc logo screen. ..... can some one help me pls
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.

Why did you s-on in the first place? You can't s-off, you're stuck for now. HTC Dev can only unlock your 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?).

But through the toolkit, the unlocking process will use the HTC Dev method which erases the phone's internal memory and some part which contains some apps right? Any other cons which shouldn't I unlock through HTC Dev?

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

Yes. As you are S-OFF, you can flash a RUU based on 1.44 HBOOT, and use Revone to root/unlock bootloader without going with HTC Dev (assuming that is your goal) You will lose all data however.

Why temp root instead of permanent root? You have a Verizon HTC One?
i suppose u have a verizon version right? So KingRoot is what you need, but it's kinda unstable, i have random reboot a lot
I don't think to have a Verizon version, how do I check?
I need to be root to use sunshine, temp or permanent is the same.

exactly. Unlock your bootloader using instruction from htcdev.com/bootloader then flash twrp for your device from here (Assuming your phone is a gsm M7_U or M7_UL) and then flash supersu2.46. Reboot in the OS and then launch Sunshine s-off.
