I have tried multiple times to root my htc one. With diffrent ways and toolkits, everytime i got stuck. With rootchecker i've seen that my device still is unrooted. I have installed TWRP recovery and flashed Superuser. I also succesfully installed a custom kernel. But the device still is unrooted and i cant use superuser.
I thought custom kernels were only possible on rooted devices..
Does anyone know how what the problem is and how to gain root acces?

The Toolkits are all very old and outdated
you need TWRP 2.6.3.3 or newer
you need SuperSU 2.02
flash those 2 and you'll be fine.

thanks, i've flashed a different supersu (also newest update) before and now the one you linked and it worked!
Hello, I have been searching for a rooting method that will work for At&t's Desire 626. I quite like the stock ROM and would enjoy backup security and debloating the ROM. Sadly, no root method I've tried has been successful. I've attempted iRoot app and program, Kingo Root app and program, King Root app, Towel Root app, and Towel Pie Root app.
Any clue?
If you have the 626s - here is a way to root it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=63128990
EDIT: NM looks like that worked! At&t desire 626 bought today. SuperSU installed.
So that procedure works for a regular 626 (not the "s" version) from AT&T? Good to know...
Correct. Non-s version from At&t.
doesnt' work
I followed everything step by step and Super SU tells me I have to update the binaries but it doesn't work. Anyone know where I can get the updated binaries to manually install it?
Hmm - so if you tap on the notification, it doesn't update the binaries automatically? Never had that issue...
Does Superuser actually work? If so, and the notification only comes up after a reboot, I probably wouldn't even worry about it...
The super Su app works but none other app recognizes that I have root access, like bloatware removers. I followed every step.
Any ideas?
What exact phone (626, 626s, etc), carrier and Android version?
Plain 626, AT&T Android 5.1
In this same thread they said it would work
Did you use the Supersu zip linked to in the detailed step-by-step procedure post? I know that people had issues with the supersu .zip posted in another thread...
Other than that, I'm not sure - maybe try to flash supersu again?

I have yet to see any warning about SuperSU needing updating. I just confirmed that I can remove any bloatware, edit build.prop, etc.
I can absolutely confirm that I have Cyanogen Recovery booting too, as Im staring at it now.
Maybe I got an older variant of this phone? The store said it was their last one.
Is there anything I can check to verify that this is the same model?
Which version of Android are you running on your 626? 4.x or 5.x?
5.1, hardware info says "desire 626" not 626s or anything else.
I'm wondering if he used the wrong SuperSU .zip file... Someone else had the same issue and after using the correct SuperSU .zip file (the one posted in the detailed step-by-step rooting thread), he was fine...
Let's wait and get confirmation from the user above as to which SuperSU .zip file he used - hopefully, that's the issue.
I also have an HTC Desire 626 (Android 5.1) and can't root it. I know pretty much nothing about this process and didn't even know you could do it until recently. But I need to have it rooted so I can recover deleted SMS messages. Any instructions for a phone dummy?

yes I have htc626x a32_ul android 4.4 model. I tried many ways to root the device. bootloader is already unlocked. king root app gives temporary root that lasts for about 1 minute. there is no any 626x thread at xda developer.

I rooted my device successfully using http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-626/help/step-step-root-procedure-htc-desire-t3264727 this procedure
I bought a htc desire 626w yesterday.I got it without google apps.So i decided to flash gapps.But after a lot of search i didn't find any recovery for my device.All the ROMs and recovery are for 626s.It will be a great help if you give a Twrp that works on 626w.Does 626s ROMs and twrp work on 626w?
Thanks in advance.
I need recovery too for htc desire 626w

I believe that the HTC desire 626s twrp image should work with the 626w. But you do realize that even if you flash the twrp image onto the device, you are going to need to need to s-off the device. If you don't s-off the device then everytime you try to flash GAPPS, the device will fail and reboot immediately. As of right now there isn't even a way to s-off the 626s let alone the 626w, Just a warning in advance.
I rooted my device HTC one X9 dual sim by Supersu with custom recovery TWRP.
I want to change it to magisk and i got an error code 1 in TWRP while flashing it.
As i searched on XDA forums, i found that flashing with boot.img from stock ROM will fix the issue.
But HTC is not providing Stock ROM on their dev page.
Any idea?
If you have this model plz do a backup of unrooted boot.img and share it.
Thank you
