Fastboot flash wcx recovery. Boot to wcx recovery. Then find the rooting option. It should work.

Thanks must not be seeing it as option to root. Will give another go after work. And also what is meant by "s-off" and "s-on" and how does it effect function of devise post root?

Security off or on. As far as I know, it lets you flash kernels from recovery instead of having to flash in fastboot mode with adb.

And my noobness gets worse.....what's the dif between a kernal and a Rom?

Boot loader, s off, someone tell me what the heck is going on here.

Okay, I have a couple of questions I'm hoping someone can answer.
1). What is the situation with the boot loader on the One? I know there is a developer edition, but are all of the other versions going to be locked down? Also, since there is a Dev version I assume the one won't be on their unlock website, right?
2) my second question is more about HTC in general, and s-off. I know it stands for security off, but what does it do exactly? I've heard its needed for flashing certain things like kernels, but I don't understand why that would he necessary if the boot loader is already unlocked.
Im on Verizon, hoping and praying that the One comes to us, if not I'm probably leaving them. Can't wait to get my hands on this great phone, and hopefully help HTC come out of the dumps

Chirp chirp? Are there not even any crickets in here?

The One can be bootloader unlocked through htcdev. No problems there
Bootloader unlocked lets you flash custom firmware, but S-OFF gives you full control over what you want to do. This stands for NAND locked or NAND unlocked. What that does is give you access to normally restricted partitions on the phone, such as the boot and radio partitions. Even with bootloader unlocked, you need to flash the boot.img separately if you do not have S-OFF and radios cant be flashed
And doing the chirp chirp thing doesnt encourage people to answer. Just a tip.

Boot loader can be unlocked on all EU carriers by spending 5 mins on the htcdev site (its included under Other phones)
As for s off, not currently possible but also not needed. On tegra HTC phones you needed it to flash boot.img as part of flashing a new ROM but already bypassed for the One.

Technically its still needed, but theyve developed a workaround which is essentially fastbooting it from the phone.
Also correction, its not only on Tegra processors that this is an issue, its on all HTC devices because they all come NAND locked.

It's not needed but would be better if we can get s-off soon.

So, what can be done with S-OFF that isn't possible currently?

One of the things that can be done with s-off is flash a kernel image right from the phone without a PC

As said above me, flashing kernels during a rom flash (the rom zip will attempt to do it, but s-on prevents the boot.img from taking) without a computer or a workaround like SuperBoot, and you can also flash radios with s-off

CID can be changed to flash a different region ROM.

I tried rooting my HTC one with qbking77 video tutorial. Unlocked the bootloader but couldn't root upon many unsuccessful attempts. Eventually relocked the bootloader.now my phone is given me tampered and relocked and security warning. I can't even turn off the phone. Anytime I try to turn it off it goes to fastboot mode. Is there anyway I can have stock android back on my phone and get ota. My network is three in the UK

This thread. This topic. I'm not filled with hope.
What do you mean, "Anytime I try to turn it off it goes to fastboot mode"? Did you flash recovery.img? How did you mess up unlocking the bootloader it couldn't be easier.

Unlocked boot loader all right. It was the rooting which was the problem. I tried and tried and when I couldn't do it. I relocked the bootloader. The phon is working alright but sometimes when I want to turn the phone off especially when I am in meetings it just won't go off. It goes to fastboot mode

[Q] Computer won't recognize fastboot USB

Hi guys, I recently screwed up flashing a new ROM and now I can't boot into recovery so I'm trying to flash a new twrp via fastboot. However, upon plugging in my HTC one I see fastboot USB yet no toolkits show that it is plugged in or recognized. I have installed various drivers and also the HTC sync manager however I still can't seem to flash my recovery.
My model is an international one and sadly it is S-ON, bootloader unlocked and rooted, HBOOT 1.44.
Any help would be appreciated.

I do, but I also tried using a computer with windows vista and face the exact same issues?

HTC One completely messed up

Hello!
I wanted to go back to stock to send my phone in reparation because of the camera purple tint.
I tried to go back to stock using this tutorial and this French tutorial
I have a French HTC One with the French operator SFR.
I flashed the European RUU and after that I changed the CID by VODAP203 and I flashed a stock ROM of my operator downloaded from in the French tutorial. After that I flashed the related firmware and my phone started normally.
But I have big issues:
- Wi-Fi doesn't work and I get the "Error" message when I try to activate it.
- I can't transfer files to my phone using both adb push and simply copy and paste... The transfer bar doesn't move for minutes!
- When the phone boots, I got the error message "This phone just restored from an abnormal reset, Would you like to send an error report to HTC?"
I am completely lost, I have absolutely no ideas how to fix these issues... If someone could help please!
Thanks a lot for your help!

No one?

if your phone is stock just send it off for repair

Haha that's right! I didn't think about that but there is no way for HTC to figure out those problems are the result of a bad flashing?

If you are stock again, locked (not relocked) your boot loader and s-on there is no sign that you flashed a thing. If they say so, they are just lying. Send it for repair.
