[Q] Htc One Root help!

Just tried rooting the phone for the first time. Not too familiar with rooting. Only done a few phones before.
Unlocked boot loader on dev site. Installed TWRP just fine. Installing root package went fine, but I was unable to install busybox. It would either fail to install, or crash the phone and reboot. I found a root + busybox zip, flashed that, and then SuperSU said I wasn't rooted at all! Tried flashing the old SuperSU root package again, but I'm still not rooted anymore. Can someone give me a quick fix for this please?
Thanks.

Is there anyone that can give me some advice? It would be MUCH appreciated!

hi friend ..
i'm also new about rooting hTC (1st time).i'd like to help, but not good enough on explanation ..i root my hTC One on day 2nd bought it.Might some help from youtube and xda topics about unlock bootloader, s-off & rooting.
after u done unlock bootloader, just download twrp zip or cwm zip..extract it copy twrp file (img) on fastboot folder (on pc drive with fastboot files for unlock bootloader process).
right click img file to open as cmd.Then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" then press enter..if u see word just like okay u can go back to bootloader mode, select recovery if u see word on top of screen while htc booting mode that's mean u already done flashing recovery.wait just 2 second, twrp should appear..u should download superSU or super user early put on ur sd then u flash it use twrp..check ur root status use root checker or titanium backup.lastly u tap on superSU or super user icon to update binary (for this method i'm not sure u need to update or not) might somebody got any best answer..
sorry for bad english & too simple methods.

I did, but when I opened it, it says I wasn't rooted as if I just installed it from the play store without a root.

Do you have stock ROM?

No. But I do have a backup that I had created using CWM recovery. But currently, I have flashed Philz recovery on my phone as it has more feature than CWM recovery.
I also have a backup of my current rom (created using Philz Recovery) which I had made after changing the bootlogo.
_____
So for now, I only have backup that I had made using CWM recovery.

Where can i get the Stock Symphony Roar A50 Rom? I didnt had backup also! :/ No one here also Shared their Stock Symphony Rom here....

Hmm. Tell any of your friends using it and tell to take backup

thanks that was useful...but...
dude,
great job... will definitely hit the THANKS button... the procedure of running into recovery without installing a custom recovery is indeed very helpful. but i got caught in a slight snag: (a) i choose backup, (b) it suddenly pops an error [it was about to finish the backing up procedure] and does not continue.
questions:
a) to do the backup procedure - will it REQUIRE an unlocked bootloader?
b) will one also have to root first, that is, using the 'virtual custom recovery', should one install ROOT ACCESS first, then REBOOT, then proceed with backing up following your procedure?
thanks so much,

What is the exact problem you are facing when flashing the stock file. PLEASE EXPLAIN FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDNG.
ELSE YOU CAN TRY THE BELOW.
NB: I AM ASSUMING THINGS AND GIVING THIS INFORMATION, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS AS I DONT KNOW THE EXACT PROBLEM YOU ARE FACING.
Make sure device is 100% battery.
1st try this:
1-Download this file: [ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_1zjuazXSqbQ0p6NWtvRk9OMzA/edit?pli=1 ] and install in Windows (Run as Administrator).
2-Open Command window and type:
Code:
cd c:\adb
3-now on your device use Vol keys to choose and power key to select, and choose FASTBOOT
4-now download the attached file boot_signed.rar (extract the file in C:\adb folder)
5-type in the command window:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
5-type in the command window:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
6-type in command window:
Code:
fastboot reboot
IF THIS DID NOT WORK, THEN TRY THIS:
Download this [ https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934555508 ] file and rename it to 0P8BIMG.zip and place it into the SD card (MMC Card), restart the device and let it boot into the HBoot menu.
Reboot device from the boot mode, if the device automatically reboot into the boot menu then it will start flashing the file automatically.
Good Luck, let me know how it went.
Try and let me know.

this is excellent, all in one place...
However, please forgive my ignorance in recovery/backup terminology (I hope it is not just me) but I get confused by the use of 'Nandroid' backup, Stock Rom, and .zip and .img files for flashing.
I have successfully used TWRP to flash the NostromoPop ROM, but have not been successful with any other .zip file supposedly a Stock ROM.
I have been hoping that somebody could put a rooted Stock ROM so that I can try it as a way to get around the KitKat blocks on writing to the SD card for some of my autosync apps.
Am I making any sense?
Many thanks if you can help

Hi,
As I understand you cannot flash a stock ROM with customer Recovery, as far as I know you need stock Recovery to flash a stock ROM, I remember trying stock ROM on TWRP but it failed, could be due to some other reason, I read somewhere it has something to do with file signatures.
As for SD write fix, you need to have root access other than that there is no fix for it, rooting with SuperUser Binary... I myself did want to try it now that I am back on stock but then I am greedy for Marshmallow (if they could fix that Loud Speaker issue) I am all in for Android M, I tried to get in touch with people on the Cyanogen Forums but no luck as I have not yet received verification email, tried so many times, no luck and as it seems there is no Marshmallow development on HTC One Mini 2....
I will wait and see how it goes...
If I am correct you can keep stock ROM and flash SU Binary and get root access and then install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix to get it done with, it ought to work, haven't tried myself...

The recovery image you gave seems a little broken, but the backup worked...thought I recommend a factory reset unless you want the system language to be weird...

Which recovery image have you used, I have flashed the newer version successfully, yes the backup worked and has non-English language as default.
The command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
fastboot erase cache
If you could elaborate a "little broken"

I maneged to reflash twrp from android, ok these is what happened, I flash it as a recovery image with twrp, when I reboot into recovery later then it just showed a picture of my phone with a red triangle icon in it, after a while my phone resets...and goes back to booting from the main installed os...

Hi,
I believe you flashed a recovery with another recovery, which I think is not the right way, the right way is to use the command to overwrite TWRP with stock recovery.

HI,
Just wanted to know if you are having any issues with low audio after restoring Android backup from TWRP, I feel my audio is way too low and cant be heard just if I am outside my room..

I didn't have any audio problems, it could just be you being used to cm's 3rd party BoomSound replacement
---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------
Well that would exsplain why some elements of the stock recovery remained after I reflashed twrp with a app on my phone, e.g. it fixed the image I get when I hook my device up to power when it is turned off...before that it would just boot me into a unusable twrp homepage

The stock RUU file is corrupt! (tried 5 times now)
Where can I get a A stock flash or a ROM that is NOT ROOTED please?
I tried the 0P8BIMG.zip on SD card method and that did not work either.
Also, I thought the RUU file is meant to be an executable not a zip file. I'm confused...

I doubt its corrupted, which OS are you running currently ?, when I tried it, it failed due to the installed stock ROM being newer than the one being installed and since I have S-ON I cant downgrade it...
You can Nandroid Restore the stock backup, I have personally tried and it works....
Another way to do it is to have the Nandroid Restore and then use Sunshine to S-OFF (as sunshine only works on stock or near-stock ROMs) and then flash with 0P8BIMG.zip, it should work then, just a thought...

Hi, thanks for these links & info. Just about to give this a go. But, what does boot_signed.img do?

Its a signed boot file, meaning it flashes successfully should the device fail to boot or stuck on boot or in other words if the device does not boot and remains on HTC, this flashing this should solve your problem.

Hi all I have been directed here from another thread as I am looking to place a stock rom on my htc one mini 2 without bloatware, I have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP but the stock rom remains the same all I want is to install a rom via TWRP if at all possible. Is the 1gig one ok for that or will i need to completely put the stock recovery back on and the phone is unlocked to all networks if that makes any different
Thank in advance

Hi,
Its not possible to flash stock rom via TWRP, plus you need to have S-Off.
The only way to go complete stock is to restore Nandroid Backup and then flash stock recovery.

so is this the nandroid back up of a stock rom that I can use with the latest update for use with twrp and when I mean stock rom I mean a rom that has not been majorly altered to class it as a custom rom. I.e still has sense and no additional apps added
Again Thanks in advance

Hi,
Yes you will have to restore the Nandroid Backup, this backup is completely of a stock ROM, no edition, however it does not have some apps like the Calculator, Flash etc for some reason.
However I found the missing apps from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-corporation/

Excellent much appreciated for this right, so I need to first copy the nandroid backup to my Phones root and run TWRP and restore using the downloaded nandroid yes?
if yes could I please have the steps to put the stock recovery on with ADB commands as I really don't want to brick my phone (Yes I know you take no resposibilty etc) just happier to have as least the correct file names and adb commands.
And last I just copy the new stock RUU to my phone and install?
You help is as always greatly appreciated as no one seems to be ddoing anything anymore for this phone

Flash Failed trying to Install Recovery

Hi guys, is the first time i try to install another room on my Xperia Z, i followed step by step all the requeriments
-I unlocked the bootloader
-I rooted my phone
-Install Recovery. I downloaded the TWRP App on Play Store. I select my device (Xperia Z) and i choose the last file to flash (twrp-3.0.2.0-yuga.img). I press "Flash To Recovery" and it says Flash Failed, so i can turn on my phone on the Recovery Mode..
There's another way to install the recovery? I'm a little bit worried because i heard about "Bricked Phone" and i don't wanna do something that could bring me to that.
PD: After i unlock the bootloader and root the phone, i downloader the TWRP App, and i think this could be important. The first time i open this App i have the Option to "Backup Existing Recovery". And i never installed a Recovery and in addition, when i unlocked the bootloader, all the information was deleted (yes i knew this) but TWRP gave me the option to backup and existing recovery.
Maybe if now i reset all data to zero and install again TWRP app could work?
PD2: First time i did it i don't read if the Recovery was installed. I was following instructions and tryied to reboot to enter recovery (turn off button + volume down) but it didn't work. So i once again did the same process and it said Flash Failed. Seems maybe i already have the recovery installed but for some reason i can enter

Seems i already have installed the Recovery with the TWRP Official App. The problem is that the first time i installed i didn't read the message that said if it was all ok or no. Seems was all Ok. But when i tried to enter into the Recovery Mode i coudn't (Turn On + Volumen Down Button). So again i installed the Recovery but this time it said "Flash Failed"
If i install XZDualrecovery assuming for a moment that i have already installed a recovery, could be any problem?

I m also facing problem in flashing from twrp.
Each time I m unble to flash.
As msg is showing flash failed.

@ MrDubsstep @Yuvraj aryan
hi,
both of you, did you already unlock the bootloader and after that root the phone?
TWRP app from playstore need root permission to be able install the recovery..

Thanks I will unlock boot loader and then try to flash custom recovery.

Yes i did it but my problem is already fixed.
First i unlocked the bootloader, then i rooted with Kingroot app. I installed TWRP Official App but this didn't work for me. So i installed the XZDualrecovery. After that i tried to install the ROM but again failed with another error. So after i installed the XZDualrecovery i installed TWRP 3.1.0 and then the ROM, and is done.

I'm gonna explain you all the method for you to know and if somebody has any problem.
First of all, if you did something and was wrong, go to flash your phone here: https://developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/flash-tool/use-the-flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/. This restart your phone, quit root and recovery.
1- Unlock your phone here: https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/
2- Download and install Kingroot App, root and then download Check root App if all is okay.
3- Download the XZDualrecovery here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZ...g21jd24hub9so04tqn9vc50&randomizer=_oupgp8psh and follow the instructions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NteAd_MzsPI
4- Once recovery is installed, reboot, enter the recovery and Press Wipe and select Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache. Maybe system but i don't know.
5-Install the ROM and without reboot install the Gapps. First time maybe it could 10-15 minutes or less to restart with the new ROM, just wait.
Hope it worked for you!

First of all, if you did something and was wrong, go to flash your phone here: https://developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/flash-tool/use-the-flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/. This restart your phone, quit root and recovery.
1- Unlock your phone here: https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/
2- Download and install Kingroot App, root and then download Check root App if all is okay.
3- Download the XZDualrecovery here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZ...g21jd24hub9so04tqn9vc50&randomizer=_oupgp8psh and follow the instructions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NteAd_MzsPI
4- Once recovery is installed, reboot, enter the recovery and Press Wipe and select Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache. Maybe system but i don't know.
5-Install the ROM and without reboot install the Gapps. First time maybe it could 10-15 minutes or less to restart with the new ROM, just wait.
Hope it worked for you!

Dual recovery will work in both Stock KitKat and Stock Lollipop rom.
The very first install should be from KitKat ofcourse, because in KitKat
its the most easy to root, and root is require for install dual recovery.
The recovery must be installed in fota partition if you read instructions
on twrp homepage.
Its hard to try help people when they partly ignore
and do their own experiments ..

No, no matter if you flash or not, if you unlock the bootloader is gonna be unlocked even if you flash. If you did something and was wrong, in my opinion you should flash and start again.
And the rom i used was lollipop 5.1.1. I didn't see what you say about kernel or boot, maybe i did it wrong but i'm good now with the ROM.
I forgot to mention that after installing dualrecovery you install TWRP 3.1 but i see you know it

Hello mate
Don't worry.. Just wipe system, data and cache and re-install rr rom. The same thing happened to me when i did a factory reset on that ROM.

i did all, it shows as installing but after reboot goes back to TWRP recovery only

change ur twrp recovery, i mean update your twrp recovery and you will never face this problem....

I had the same problem a few days back. I tried everything but at the end, I had to flash the stock ROM using SP Flash Tool. After that, I was able to boot into Stock Android and rooted the phone again and installed the Custom Rom later.

@ skyh3ck and VinayakS
did it help?
My phone got a bootloop to twrp 3.0.2-7 after I wanted to restore to factory settings (from settings menu), I tried flashing 'new' RR-N-v5.8.5-20170926-aio_otfp-FINAL (during flashing I had 2 errors - logs available), tried to flash with some other roms, I tried to restore some old backups - same thing = bootloop to twrp.
I don't want to brick it like the guy from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-note/help/help-unbricking-k3-note-k50a40-charging-t3699007

I did not had time to revert rooting and remove custom recovery, so can't say much at this moment.
But your bootloop issue is most probably due to presence of TWRP, you need to completely remove root & TWRP, restore stock boot and recovery, then try.

Fortunately I've made it working again.
What I did, I flashed phone with SP FLash Tool 5.1628 and K50a40_S433_160909_ROW https://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-note/development/official-build-lenovo-k3-note-k50a40-6-t3370537. But it was not success at that time. Phone acted weirdly couldn't boot, only vibration after power on could be felt. So I tried to flash only the recovery Lenovo K3 Note Stock Recovery.img 10,2MB (also in the package but not default recovery image for S433) with the scatter map from S433 stockrom but SPFL said that it didn't end successfully, so I flashed only rocovery from stock rom S433 target_bin folder recovery.img 12800kB and then voila, it started to boot, there was a Lenovo logo, took some time to start but eventually phone is working.
Now I want to root it and / or flash correct version because my phone is actually k50-t5 not k50a40.
So thanks and good luck to those with similar problems after restoring factory settings on AIMROM.

this is the stock recovery,extract this recovery and paste the contents to a folder named STOCK
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2I5z1mFfUpcaE5sZTk3M2Vrc1E/view
this is the TWRP recovery,extract this recovery and paste the contents to a folder named TWRP
1.install adb and fastboot on ur laptop.(am using ububtu 16.04)
2.make the phone to go to TWRP
3.plug in the usb
4.open terminal and type adb devices
5.see if device is detected ,if detected do the following

Exactly the same thing happened to me.
So I tried your idea and updated my TWRP, going from 2.8 to 3.1..1
But exactly the same thing happens - it still bootloops, but to the new TWRP.
I've tried flashing several different ROMs that all worked in the past. But no change.

do as what i have mentioned above,..and give update

It worked ! Thanks.
The reason I didn't try it straight away was all the comments about wrong links etc. And some of the links afterwards didn't work. So I was looking for a recovery.img file in other places.
I read your new message, so I used the first link in your post which gave me the recovery img. The TWRP link doesn't seem to work, but I already have an up to date TWRP on the phone.
