[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.

do you have the superuser app installed?

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.

System Update on Rooted Device

I've been getting "System update available" notifications for a while now, figured I might as well go through with it. But it just boots the phone into TWRP.
Is there a way to update a rooted phone?

You need a stock recovery to update Official OTA.

How do I get it? This and just flash it the same way I flashed TWRP?
Will I then have to flash TWRP again when I'm done? Do I need to back anything up before I start?

yes you can use that. flash it like TWRP, boot phone and update. then flash TWRP again. DONE

Okay, so I've downloaded the stock recovery, gone into a command prompt window and typed:
fastboot flash recovery "M8_MINI_UL_Stock_Recovery_2.19.401.2.img"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Got an error about a missing DLL, and then a 'fastboot.exe has stopped responding' error.

Try to reinstall ADB drivers.

And I won't have to back anything up, yeah?
The other thing...the stock recovery is version 2.19.401.2, and the update it's trying to install is 1.18.841.4. Is that going to be an issue?

backup is always a must just in case.
Recovery version as nothing to do with ota version.

I've done that, I'm still getting this error:
---------------------------
fastboot.exe - Unable To Locate Component

This application has failed to start because AdbWinApi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

get the drivers from here or install HTC sync.
Make sure you are in the right folder too. put all files in one folder.

Okay, that worked...but now I've lost root.

After official OTA you need to root again.

That wipes the entire phone, doesn't it?
If I'm going to be doing that anyway, is there a way I can update to the newest Android/Sense version?

the link i send you contains zip with super user. use TWRP to flash that instead of TWRP normal request. you can then update superuser via Google play

In TWRP, I went to 'install', then selected the SuperSU file, it did stuff, then came back with 'successful', I rebooted the phone...still no root. No SuperSU listed in my apps either.
EDIT: Flashed SuperSU 2.65 instead, and that worked, but the popups don't. Every time I do something that needs root access, it pops up a message asking if I want to grant that app root, and there's a timer, but none of the buttons do anything. Somehow Titanium Backup was still in SuperSU as allowed, and I got Root Checker to somehow go in as 'ask again' so I could manually set it to 'grant', but I can't get ES File Explorer root access at all.

have you try to update via google play? look like its a bit corrupted. try to update

I flashed the newest version of SuperSU, so there was no update. But after updating ES File Explorer, SuperSU works. Don't know if there's a connection though.
Is there a way I can get Marshmallow and Sense 7 on my device?

Marshmallow only with custom roms like cm12
Sense 7 no because HTC wont update mini 2 and there's no ports due lack of development in this phone

There was an update for Titanium Backup last night, and now SuperSU is broken again.

Ya its an alternative method to it but using kingroot my experience is not good.
It couldn't not help to fully unroot my device also if i needed to use super su it gave me problem.
If it's working for u then its well and good but if u like super su more then u can use the above method.

Cool

iT may cause your phone no reaction while connecting to The Pc if you use The latest supersu version on supersu official website. I prefer phh's superuser . I rooted my mido perfectly With it.

I tried the above method but I accidentally selected twrp method when su asked to update.
Now the phone stuck at MI boot loop screen I can only access to fast boot mode but can't enter recovery mode.
So any help ?

Is the file size 2.81 MB only?

Phone stuck/ Damaged
Im also having same problem.
After flashing Su, it asked for reboot. When i reboot, it is stuck in MI logo and not restarting. i observed this for more than 10 hrs. When i tried to start with recovery, again it is stuck is FASTBOOT screen and not progressing. My phone is not usable now. Please help

Root

Hi guys and girls,
I used to have a S7 Edge and found that really easy to root as it had am sd card I've managed to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP But all the advice guides says to install supersu on the internal memory from the pc I did that but when I loaded TWRP up and searched for the zip file it wasn't in any folders or sub folder is someone able to. Explain where to put it or help with a step by step guide I am using CLT-L09 if that helps thanks so much.

If you have TWRP, just flash Magisk.

I have tried and followed the instructions but it won't let me install magisk either but bootloader is unlocked

It looks like twrp hasn't decrypted my internal storage I haven't got any security measures on my phone how would I decrypt it?

Install the unofficial TWRP. Remove fingerprint/password/pin etc then try again. TWRP doesn't decrypt when they're active.

Install the unofficial one from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3779400
Just flash it over the one you currently have with the same method you used before via fastboot.
When you issue the 'fastboot reboot' command after installing unplug the usb cable straight away and hold volume up button until it boots to TWRP. This will stop TWRP being overwritten by stock recovery on first boot. Disable all fingerprint/pin/password/face unlock security first, to be able to see your files correctly.
Youre better off flashing Magisk than SuperSU

How do I update supersu binaries?

Just successfully installed Supersu 2.81 (2.81 because the guide I used said it's the most stable version) when my phone rebooted the playstore promted me to update Supersu so. being the clueless noob that I am I updated it. Now it keeps failing when it's trying to update binaries. I can still use supersu and still have root access though. It's just annoying seeing that message to update binaries.

I have the same problem, I've even tried flashing the SuperSU .zip manually using TWRP! It reboots my phone before it finishes the flashing process. Does anyone know how to update it?

Open Supersu, navigate to the settings, scroll down and do a full unroot. Your phone will reboot so make sure you activate twrp before your phone boots fully otherwise you'll have to reinstall twrp again via adb cause your phone will overwrite twrp after it boots.
Download Supersu 2.82 here (the one I have is the no additive version just root) and just flash it with twrp. Done. Easy.

Sorry for late reply, I've tried uninstalling supersu/unrooting but neither did work or help. I finally ended up rebranding my phone to AL10 and installing the Chinese Oreo rom which works great.
