[Q] Root with Lollipop - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
i have the newest Android version running, and now want to root my One M7.
I installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 as recovery and wanted to flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46. Unfortunately this lead me to a bootloop. So I did a factory reset and reinstalled a backup.
Did i try to install something wrong? What do I need? Bootloader is unlocked through HTCdev.
Regards,
Simon

No OS installed on TWRP trouble

I keep getting a No OS installed error on twrp. Yesterday I install a 5.03.651.3 rooted rom through TWRP. I think I deleted the wrong files so I installed a stock 4.06.651.4 from a ruu then I did a ota update to 4.06.651.9. After that I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP 2.7.1.1. I have done noting more after that. Can someone please help me fix this problem?
Thanks
TWRP 2.6.3.4

from HTC One
When I installed TWRP 2.6.3.4 the error stopped showing up. Does that mean that there is a problem with TWRP 2.7.1.1 and my phone is fine?

[SOLVED] SuperSU and Re-root on 4.4.2

Hey everyone
I've recently solved my OTA problem (seen here) but I soon discovered yet another problem.
When I tried to enter SuperSU, I received the following error shown below.
As mentioned before, I'm on 4.4.2 and I have NO desire whatsoever to unlock my bootloader all over again. Is there anyway to re-root my phone without unlocking my bootloader or will I need to do just that in order to re-root?
Thanks in advance
Anyone?
Please help :crying:

From what I know, and by the error displayed on the attached screenshot, you need to do the whole rutine all over again. I am pretty sure rooting can not be done if bootloader is locked, which might mean you have a stock recovery image as well - and since that is not keen to be rooted (as far as I know) you need to flash a custom recovery like twrp. I might be wrong in all this, I'm newish to all this.

Since you are S-ON you can not flash a custom recovery or root without unlocking your bootloader.

Well, for starters, my bootloader is unlocked (as mentioned before), thus we eliminate the bootloader unlocking dilemma. But it still doesn't tell me how can I re-root my device: you want to tell me that I have to do is to flash a custom recovery and install SuperSU again, and my phone will be rooted again?

yes you can flash your stock recovery again, might be a good idea to do a nandroid backup of your current config before flashing back the stock recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

you can't flash CM12 with twrp 2.6.3.3. Everything explained in the CM forum. Update your recovery.

Can't overwrite cyanogenmod recovery with TWRP

Phone: h811
Current Rom: CM 6.0
I have successfully flashed twrp 3.0 using adb but when i reboot to recovery, i keep getting cyanogenmod recovery. Romtoolbox even says twrp is my current recovery. What's the deal? I want to make a backup using TWRP before I flash anything. How do I go back to TWRP?
Thanks!!!

Got it...I used flashify to flash the recovery and it worked. Not sure why ADB didn't flash properly...i'm sure it was user error! Thanks for the suggestion!!

Can't root my phone

I unlocked the bootloader installed custom recovery ( TWRP 2.8.7.0 ) and then tried to install SuperSU and different versions of it, after flashing the phone reboots and nothing happens
I can't flash any ROMs since the phone isn't rooted.
Any ideas ?

You don't need SuperSU anymore for flashing custom ROM, you can do it with TRWP alone.
What error do you receive or what happens exactly after flashing the phone.

Solved it
I read somewhere that root is required for flashing
So this is how I solved it
Installed older version of twrp
And then rooted and flashed the package
