OK. Can you tell me what the kernal actually is and does? I'm new to all this. I have rooted and flashed custom Rom.just need s-off now.

Its kind of like the central core, all software and controls are built around it, it has control over everything that happens in the OS basically, kernel is boss.

here's a fairly good explanation: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/31632/what-is-the-linux-kernel-and-what-does-it-do/

OK so if I flashed a new kernal. Is it way to do? All I want is to turn s-off.
I have heard the camera doesn't work after on some?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app

Just flash a kernel like you do with a rom, copy it to your internal storage then enter recovery and flash it, then try and s-off again with that kernel installed, if you don't like the kernel, like the battery drain is too high for instance then try a different one.

Will the kernal I install. Will it wipe my phone or change anything that's on my phone like custom Rom etc?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app

No, a custom kernel will just enable some features you don't have now, like double tap the screen to wake and sleep, or swipe to wake or sleep, allow you to overclock etc, select which features you want during install.
If your not sure of anything, just select recommended or stock for everything during install, you can flash it multiple times and experiment each time with different settings.
Just one question for you however, if you don't know anything about flashing kernels etc, why do you possible want S-OFF, its very dangerous for someone with little or no knowledge and very easy to brick you phone, S-ON stops you flashing wrong software which may brick your phone, S-OFF relies on you knowing what you are doing, if its wrong with S-OFF, it will still flash and you will have a dead phone.

OK I understand. Some roms I want say they require s-off. Will they still work with s-on then?

OIC, as far as I know its only if you want to convert your phone to a Google Edition HTC One that you need S-OFF

So even if the Rom says s-off will the Rom work?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app

No, If the rom requires S-OFF then you will need to be S-OFF.
Which Rom are talking about here ?

I was looking at sky dragon google play edition. Unless you can recommend a good rom for me?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app

Yes you will need S-OFF for that, im using viper one, I love it and loads of themes and tweaks available for it.

I tried that. Has loads but to many I think lol. If I was too re flash.can I go straight over the top with recovery and not wipe data?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app

Its always advised to wipe data if you are going to a different rom

How do I unroot properly ?

I have arhd Rom which is perfect for me as it has all the bloat stuff removed, but I need an unrooted version so that my work email client and Sky Go will run. Is there a way to completely unroot? I tried removing superuser, busybox and Su but Sky Go and work email still complain that my phone is rooted ? Thanks for any guidance.

Ultimately you need to install a stock RUU/ROM.zip. What you have to do before that depends on if you have S-OFF via Revolutionary or an unlocked HBOOT.

Nope. I did tried to unroot (unproper) by deleting the superuser apks in /system/app. I did that on my friend's galaxy ace. But his phone is stock.Try deleting /system/bin/sh too.

Yes, use SuperSU, check the settings.

Stock Rooted Odex/Deodex

Disclaimer: Flash this ROM at your own risk. I am not responsible for what you do on your device. I left this stock to provide a base for anybody that wants to use it. Mod this rom how you want. Just please remember to give credit where credit is due.
This is a pure stock rooted rom. It has items like busybox, init.d support and so forth. No apps were added or removed. Both Odexed and Deodexed versions below.
This is using stock unmodified kernel from HTC. Kernel source can be grabbed from HTCDev
Downloads
There are few zip's. Could you please advise me which one should I flash? Thanks.

Yes that's due to system protection in the kernel. Can't fix it till HTC releases kernel source. If you want to remove something you have to do it in recovery

Huh. Lost root somehow. I'm running the odexed rom, since I wanted to install over the stock rom that shipped with it. Flashing SuperSU from recovery's not working to get root back. Ideas?

Well, I had root no problem after flashing the odexed rom until today. Bizarre. Maybe I'll just reflash the rom over and see if that fixes it.

That option was there before too, but it reset it to "off" after updating. It's off by default in the shipped rom too, for some odd reason.

Sprint HTC one bricked?

So I wanted to root my htc one and install a custom rom on it and everything went wrong. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp, installed superuser. I then tried to install android revolution hd 12.1. after installing it from sd card it said that my device was not rooted and it rebooted and now i am stuck on the bootloader screen. I cannot try and install the rom again due to all my data being wiped somehow and I have relocked the bootloader and tried to run the ruu to return to stock but it says I need the correct ruu i updated to 1.31. someone please help!!!
It is loading to the "htc quite brilliant" screen and it wont go no farther, I can still get into bootloader and recovery though
Sprint Htc One issues
I am having a very similar issue! I just want to be able to use my phone whether stock or rooted now. Help!!!!!!
If you can access the boot loader, unlock it again then use TWRP's sideload feature to flash the ROM. Or you can probably find. The correct RUU in the sprint one forum.

Once you guys get your phone's fixed, make sure to flash a sprint compatible Rom. Android revolution hd isn't compatible for our phones yet

Seriously. The number of people who've managed to put themselves in this situation is staggering. We may just want to have a PSA sticky that says not to flash that ROM.
OP, you should at the least put your phone into fastboot because an RUU will not run with the bootloader open, but I'm not sure if there's a new RUU available for the latest OTA.
Fortunately you are not bricked try out this tool it makes your recovery so much easier http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236814 with this you can flash a recovery and sideload a rom, you might have to also click the download HTC drivers as well. Make sure you sideload a SPRINT compatible Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2219. GL!
So find a Sprint Rom you like and download it, then from bootloader you can use this tool and sideload a rom and flash a recovery.
Ive got it to install a rom, i installed viperrom. After i did that and it boots up it says I have no service and the phone will reboot on its own. what do i do now?
You will likely have to RUU back to stock. The non Sprint Rom probable buggered the partitions or the baseband. Look in android development to find the RUU file you need. I don't think you can use the older one if you got the recent OTA.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
Thats what I want to do go back to stock. Do you know where the ruu for 1.31 is?
I can't find it. I heard it was out there in a thread recently. Here is the older one though. That may work, I haven't tried though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=
I haven't explored it myself, but I saw anecdotal posts stating that they were able to use the older RUU.

what do you mean?
Might have to wait for the RUU file to drop then. Coming from Samsung devices for a long time, I'm used to being able to use Odin to go back to older factory firmware without issue. It's a bummer. Maybe someone more versed will have better info.

Does the Non-Sprint HTC One threads say "Sprint"? No.
Are the Sprint HTC One forums labeled "Sprint"? Yes.
Do nearly all the ROM threads in the non-Sprint forums say something along the line of "not for Sprint variant" including the revolution HD thread (all US carriers apart from Sprint)? Yes.
Just take a minute to read through the thread before flashing something. I mean, this is an expensive device where messing with system level files CAN ruin it (obviously) So, don't go jumping into stuff if you aren't going to take the time to understand it.

I thought that fix is just to remove the 4.2.2 multi user sd card issue. I don't think that'll fix your baseband issue. Might be wrong though...

S-off vs htcdev.com

Hi
Ive been always wondering, could you pleease tell me what is the difference between s-off and unlocking the bootloader using htcdev.com?
Any benefits from one over the other?

They are two totally different things.
The bootloader needs to be unlocked for us to do basic modification of the device. This includes things like installing a custom recovery and a custom ROM.
S-off is not needed for either of those things. S-off stands for security checking. With S-off you can do things like flash modified hboots, modified splash screens, install custom or pre-release firmware or radios plus much more. However if you don't know what you are doing then s-off can be risky as the security checking is there to make sure you can only flash things that will work without issues on your device. Turning it off simply allows to skip the security checking and flash what we want as they assume you know what you are doing.
Hope that helps.
Ill stay on the safe side and keep it s-ON

Bloatware keeps coming back

So I recently rooted my Tmobile HTC One in order to remove some bloatware that I don't want. I don't really feel the need for a custom ROM with this phone like I have with past phones, so I'm running stock, just rooted.. However, I don't use Facebook and there are a number of other things (tmobile account bs and lookout security) that I don't want on the device. I used Ti backup to uninstall these applications, but they reappear after a reboot.
I have never had this problem in the past. Am I missing a step to keep these apps from coming back?
Thanks

you need a kernel with write protection disabled; so either a custom kernel for your version or the wp mod somewhere around. don't know where it is, otherwise i would have put the link for you.

I'm pretty sure you're s-on. Search for s-off, you'll find plenty of information about that. Unfortunately, I think you cannot s-off if you have 4.2 or newer.
