So far, in my opinion there's no option to install custom font without root.. I try many font apps in the play store but no one is working without root.. Now I'm using custom rom with root since a week ago, and I can changed font freely...

even if you root the phone, you won't lose the warranty. it's xiaomi's policy the only thing you have to do is return to full stock before sending back the phone for the service centre

Custom ROM and Stock ROM with root are different things yes you can unroot if you use magisk and relock the bootloader. after that nobody could see the phone was rooted before

If want to keep bootloader lock..I would go to the alternate root that is posted.. it can root frf91 and amon-ra recovery and any rom ... bootloader staying lock keeps warranty intact

My HTC One just came in and i'm switching from iPhone so i am currently very inexperienced on the android platform. If the rooting method is the same, I am set, but if it is different, i might need some additional help if possible

right now you'll just have to try.
fastboot oem unlock to unlock the bootloader
then push a custom recovery
then install supersu.zip just like we do now.
The only unknown is do custom recovery we have now work on the GE phone or do we need a new port

I'm also coming from an iPhone and thus a beginner...would this suffice for simply unlocking the bootloader and rooting? I have no plans of flashing any ROMs yet. I mostly just want root access for Tasker and Titanium backup.
Thanks.

I don't know I've never used a toolkit in my life.
It's trivial as far as rooting most devices goes.

One last question. Would unlocking the bootloader/flashing the recovery and supersu.zip be the same on the Google Edition as on the stock HTC One?

first you will have to bootloader unlock your One.

Yes you do need to unlock the bootloader, before you can flash a custom recovery. Rooting comes later. The rom is either rooted or not, you do not need one rom to be rooted to flash another.

Most custom roms are already rooted when you install, You will not loose the carrier unlock flashing roms.
I also notice you are on Sprint, be very carefull to use the right custom recovery and a compatible rom with that device.

Hi, thanks for reading,
Ok so my 6903 z1, i've downgraded it to .534, rooted it, installed dualrecovery and am sitting here wondering where to go next.
I wouldn't mind unlocking the bootloader so that I could install other kernels such as pimped kernel. But reading the dualrecovery thread it seems that it is only if you are using the original kernel. So my main question is, what should i do next?
use recovery to flash a zip of a new rom then unlock bootloader then flash a supported recovery?
or should i unlock bootloader now and then new rom etc? (was concerned about the camera issue unlocking the bootloader on <4.3 roms.... will it be "fixed" if i was running on a newer "flashed via recovery" ROM?)
any help is appreciated as I don't want to bugger up the phone like i somehow managed to last time i tried all this (had the IMEI disappearing issue)
If you want to unlock the boot, there is was no need to downgrade to root
Just backup your TA, unlock the boot, flash a custom kernel of your choice then flash away
oh ok. well i've done it now. although I've just checked my service menu
First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

and it says bootloader unlock allowed: No
So i'm guessing I randomly cannot unlock it anyway? (any reason why if that is the case?)

If that it saying then no way around to unlock your bootloader. BTW, stock kernel isn't that bad and with root you will be able to customize your room and get some tweeks.

so if i cannot unlock bootloader, does that mean i wont be able to use custom roms like Paranoid android etc which run off of CM and presumably a CM kernel?
and is it worth trying to unlock the bootloader in flashtool anyway just to see?
What options/next steps do i have then if i cant flash a custom rom due to not being able to use a different kernel?
Guess i can flash a modified stock rom and thats about it?

Unfortunately No, anything based on Custom Kernels you cannot install. Everything based on Stock Kernel you can Install, even Custom Roms.
oh bloody hell. ok so i'm now stuck in a sony logo boot loop after installing romaur v8 and installing the kernel (561) which it told me to.
any ideas what to do? guessing i'm going to have to flash the old 4.2.2 rom from scratch again
ok so now i'm back to .534 [nut] and rooted. any tips on where to go next so that i dont get stuck in another bootloop???

I thought the romaur rom Was based on stock. Ho hum. Installed the pure stock one and it was OK thanks.
In Android developement thread all roms are based on stock - in original Android developement they are based on pure android.
Bootlooping is mostly caused when flashing wrong bootbundle/kernel.

You can't do that with the i537, it has a locked bootloader.
i think i got my bootloader unloacked, when i start my phone up it shows a unlocked lock with the word custom under it or does everyone have that?

That typically happens when you root the phone. Trust me, if you were ever able to unlock your bootloader you would be entitled to thousands of dollars.

The only thing you can do is use SafeStrap which will allow you to boot custom TouchWiz-based ROMs. It is impossible to install any ROM that requires a custom kernel (CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, AOSP, etc.) on the i537.
