Got the HTC One (says M7 in the bootloader) from HTC directly. Popped in my SIM card and it connected right away to AT&T's LTE network. Now I'm unlocking and installing the recovery in hopes of a new ROM.
so...
1) Which version of the HTC One is this, ie which version of Recovery software do I install?
2) Does this matter, or is the recovery compatible across versions of the One?
Sorry for the newbage, but I figure I'd better ask than potentially brick myself.
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:

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
So I want android 6 on my rooted sprint htc one m8. The update is available. Of course I don't have stock recovery, so I can't take it. I watched from youtube / watch?v=PPPT5J8xG6w(can't post links). When I get to readcid. The cid is 111111. Help?
I dont want to reset either
You can pull the stock recovery from the Full Firmware located in the RUU/Firmware thread.
Is there a forum that explains this process in more detail? I am more of a computer geek than an android one.
I bought my first HTC and it threw virgin Mobil. I was told it was a HTC Desire 626s. But I had the specs ran on it threw several different apps. It tells me it's a HTC OMP92, 5.1 Android, kernel versions 3.10.39-perf-ga4f8dc4 [email protected] #2 SMP PREEMPT, software version 1.24.651.2 so is my phone a Desire 626s or a OMP92? I have also tried every one touch not computer root I can find and none will work. I have the boot loader unlocked but as far as I know I can flash over a rom with out a computer and I don't have one. Is there another way to flash or a root apk that will work that I have not tried??
