Unlock bootloader via htcdev, flash custom recovery, and flash SuperSU. That's it, your phone is rooted

Hi,
My device is currently S-Off. I don't have root anymore and I relocked my bootloader. I'd like to be able to remove the test device message but all the links I found requires to have root or to go back to S-On. I tried using HTC DEV to unlock my bootloader again to flash custom recovery and then to flash supersu.zip but it didn't unlock my bootloader. I also tried to just do a fastboot boot customrecovery.img and also didn't work. Any idea if with S-Off, bootloacker relocked, no root access, I can removed the HTC test device message?
thanks

Check out this thread on unlocking your bootloader without HTCDev. If you are able to do that, then you should be able to flash a custom recovery. You can use the Guru Bootloader Reset tool to remove the tampered sign and I think the test device will go away.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I was referring to but I can't run that since I don't have root access. If there could be a temporary way of getting root access with a locked bootloader and s-off, that could probably work to use what's being said in your link
1) Which is the best recovery? C-Mod or TWRP or any other, i mean i want that to support maximum number of stable roms and that is widely used by developers. Can you suggest me a link?
AND
2) For any rooting procedure you first have to S-Off, then unlock the bootloader, root, then install a recovery and flash a ROM..........right?
AND
3) How to be S-Off and rooted and have Locked as a message on the bootloader?

That's not the goal of this thread but I'll still answer
It's up to you. I personnaly prefer TWRP over CWM but there's also Philz custom CWM that his pretty good.

Have you tried Weak Sauce to get root? I thought about it after reading about firewater s-off. This is a temp-root.

Yes I tried but as soon as I opened the app it crashed. oh well, doesn't really matter. I'm selling the phone as is (I bought the M8 )

if you're still looking for this, root access is available in custom recovery (so no need to mess with the ROM), and with s-off you can flashed a masked firmware using ruu mode:

Hello,
So I made a thread earlier about my Verizon HTC One M7 on 5.0.2 asking if I was able to root it.
Y'all basically said I need to use Sunshine S-Off to unlock my bootloader so I can root. So I downloaded the Sunshine-latest.apk file and it says I need to "Pre-root" before I can use it. I'm confused. The app that's going to root my phone needs root to work? That doesn't make sense. I now understand that S-off is needed for roms, but I don't want roms. I just want root apps. I'm still confused on why S-off is necessary for root, and apparently root is needed for Sunshine S-off.
Anyways, does anyone know how I can pre-root (Temp root?) my phone so I can use Sunshine? And what do I do after I get S-off to root my phone? Is there anyway I can root without S-off? I just want root access no roms.
Thanks for all those willing to help. Sorry I sound like such a noob (I am)

Yes I remember but don't understand why you created a new thread again for the same issue... Your previous thread is only 3 days old.

Right because Verizon asked HTC to block their phones from being unlocked the normal way using htcdev.com website so they can have more control over their customers. With S-OFF you or sunshine can directly write to the PG1FS partition to unlock the bootloader without the need to use the unlock code generated by htcdev.com
So I downloaded the Sunshine-latest.apk file and it says I need to "Pre-root" before I can use it. I'm confused. The app that's going to root my phone needs root to work?

Sunshine need at least temp root to work. Achieve temp root, use sunshine to s-off and unlock, flash a custom recovery and then using your recovery you can root for good (permanent root).
I now understand that S-off is needed for roms, but I don't want roms.

Not really but that doesn't matter for now, you can read about what s-off really do later if you are interested. Flashing roms doesn't require s-off, its only requires and unlocked bootloader but yes since your phone is Verizon you need s-off if you want to flash a rom because its the only way to unlock the bootloader. On other variant of the M7, you can unlock the bootloader from htcdev.com so s-off is not needed to flash roms. I know its confusing...
I just want root apps. I'm still confused on why S-off is necessary for root

Because you need at least an unlocked bootloader to permanently root your phone, bootloader unlock is blocked by Verizon so S-OFF will unlock the bootloader

temp root, not perm root.

And what do I do after I get S-off to root my phone?

Flash a custom recovery (TWRP) for Verizon HTC One and use it to perm root your phone.
Is there anyway I can root without S-off?

I'm a noob with the m8, I've ran cm on several other devices.
Can someone please show me a guide to where you have an unlocked bootloader and twrp? So that I'm ready for cm12.1.
I know there is sunshine, how is this different than htcdev unlock?
I assume I need to gain
1) root (how?)
2) sunshine (is this needed?)
3) twrp (link?)
4) install cm12.1 for 831C

There is no perma root for your variant and version, its temp root by kingroot.. Try kingroot with the combination of sunshine, and check if you can unlock your bootloader..

Hi,
I have a VIE-AL10, firmware B183. I am trying to update to B195 but I believe I cannot do it because I unlocked the phone.
I don't need the unlocked bootloader anymore (for now) and my idea was to relock it and unlock it again in the future but unfortunely I have lost the code I got using DCUnlocker.
There is a way to recover the code in this unlocked and rooted phone?

U can update with unlocked bootloader but not if u have TWRP and root. If u have it i need to unroot and install stock recovery.

Thank you, I imagined that. Any way to recover the unlock code so that I can redo the unlock procedure after I upgraded the phone?
