I just got an HTC One M7. I want to root it vs using WeakSauce. I don't want to S-Off and unlock the bootloader since root can be cleared, unlocked bootloader cannot. Any methods I'm missing?
Thanks

For those of us who were able to unlock bootloader and root our brand-spankin-new Verizon HTC One before the lockdown, are there any roms out there that we can SAFELY flash yet?
So I had some trouble with my carrier and decided to end my 24month agreement with them due to lack of support and bad reception...
Anyhows, now I am left here with a locked HTC One, how do I sim unlock it/carrier unlock it ? I have Root and S-off, so obviously also unlocked bootloader.
It is the international version, I am running viperone 4.2.2 I belive
I would be so grateful if you could help me
Thanks in advance!
I currently have an HTC One (m7) on Verizon with sense 6. I'm having some issues trying to unlock the bootloader so i can put CWM or TWRP on it. I have successfully done this in the past with my own HTC One (m7) (the issue is with my dads) but mine didn't have sense 6. I have tried using weaksauce just to get root, and supposedly sense 6 nullifies the exploit it uses. I have also tried using rumrunner (which is what I successfully used in the past with my own) to no avail. It finishes with the error: "looks like device is not rooted AND lacks an unsecure kernel."
So is there a way to do this as of now? Or am I stuck waiting on updates on utilities?

Are you using the htcdev method on unlocking the bootloader?

According to the post How to Unlock the Bootloader & Root Your HTC One Running Android 4.4.2 KitKat:
"Unfortunately, Big Red (Verizon) thought it best to remove the ability to unlock your bootloader through HTC Dev. Because of this added security measure, any One running KitKat cannot be unlocked or S-Off'd. If you are one of the lucky few to still be using JellyBean, than you are in luck, as long as you S-Off your device you can unlock your bootloader."
Hi ,
I am having HTC one with Sprint network. After my contract they provided me MSL code [/I]to unlock it.
I already rooted my Android phone and I installed viber one custom ROM.
Please let me know how to unlock my device completely.
Thanks,
Amar
Hi,
So I run into that problem eventually.
I am not from the states and I bought the phone unlocked from a friend.
After some months of use the Not a valid sim card popped up.
I contacted HTC support and they didn't know how to fix this.
I am thinking of removing the sprint rom completely and installing the Unlocked/Developer one.
I am not a pro with these stuff so I would like to ask if that would be possible and if I could do something else instead.
The phone runs with 6.20.651.3 marshmallow.
Thanks in advance.
Is your phone s-off ?? U cant unlock the phone just by flashing the unlocked developer version . Try the sim unlocked methods posted in sprint htc m8 general fourms
