Hi everybody
I'm new to Android Mobile and I got my HTC ONE just recently. I have to say that I'm in love with it, finally something I can really use.
I would like to root my phone and I went through several doc/videos about how to unlock the boot loader and how to root it.
I feel quite confident to do that on my own (I know, I know... I'm a lady and usually this kind of stuff are for boys only... but I'll give it a try).
I have only few questions if you can help an not expert user as myself:
1. after root my HTC One, will my mobile able to receive software updates pushed from the vendor?
2. by reading the forum, my understanding is that some of the system apps will be removed (not big deal actually and I understand I can recover them in some way). However, will I be able to recover all the other apps installed, phone settings and the usual data from my backup? I do a daily backup of my phone via the system Backup & Restore utility which stored the data in DropBox.
Thanks a lot boys and I sorry for the silly questions. I did my best to search on my own but still a bit confused
When you unlock the bootloader, you eliminate all OTA updates. That is my understandin.
If you backup'd up with method X (whatever method that maybe), I dont see why you cant continue to use method X to restore your settings as well.
When i forgot got my phone, I unlocked and rooted immediately. I installed titanium backup (thats my method of choice), and transfered the content from my old phone and use titanium to restore everything.

1. Yes you will receive update notifications but depending on what recovery you have you might not be able to install the update until you go to stock recovery.
2. Yes you will be able to restore your data and it work rather well. Don't remember if it backed up the app data (settings for apps accounts save games etc....) and depending on your settings it may not backup pictures and videos so make a copy on a computer if you have pics you don't want to lose.

Let me start off by congratulating you on an excellent choice of phone!
In response to your questions, I havesome answers for you:
1. After unlocking the bootloader/rooting your phone, you will still be able to receive OTA updates. However, to actually install them you will have to relock the bootloader. Take care when installing OTA updates, as they may contain "fixes" that will disable re-unlocking the bootlader or rooting.
2. You should be able to recover all of your apps, settings, and data. Once rooted, I highly recommend Titanium backup for apps and data, and MyBackupPro for contacts, call logs, messages, and such.
Thank you guys, you are wonderful! I love u!!!
Last question then I promise I will not bothering anymore
I can see from the tutorial that once I've unlocked the boot loader I will need to use a recovery utility like TWRP.
I'm not going to install any custom ROM for now and I would like to keep the original one. The only thing that I really need is root privileges to rid off some apps that were installed by the carrier (which I hate), as well the carrier boot up logo animation.
So, for instance... I'm running at the moment the 1.29.841.2 software version.
Will the recovery process keep the phone on the same version or it will install a flat one without the updates?

Not bothering at all, that's what the forums are here for.
The recovery process will leave the phone on the same version that has been installed. All apps will need to be re-updated, but the system version will stay the same.

You're welcome!
just a quick heads up, be aware that unlocking your bootloader will wipe all of the data stored in your phone. Make sure to have a recent backup available.
Lots of useful info here, make sure to check it out: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader

Good luck, hope you enjoy your HTC One
Not sure which tutorial you're using, I have found this one to be very thorough, written by a respected Rom developer

All good! I've successfully unlocked and rooted my device.
I've installed TWRP and made a backup (just in case).
Then restored all my data/apps.
Very happy thx again guys!
Hi Im feeling really bad to my stomach as Im typing this.
I was trying to enable camera 2 api and Dolby atmos.
I flashed TWRP and booted into it (so I could install zips and for it to go back to stock recovery afterwards so I can get OTA)
I tried installing the camera 2 enabler but it didnt work, the Dolby one did work though.
But when i hit reboot it just stuck on that Mi logo, please please help!
I tried going back to TWRP and flashed the TWRP image as recovery (I figured it didnt want to boot because it didnt recognize the recovery) but still nothing.
I really dont want to have to erase everything. I didnt do a backup :crying:
Im running the latest stock global rom btw.
Edit2; Bootloader is unlocked, the phone is NOT rooted.
Is there a way I can prevent data from being lost? I can enter TWRP and I see there is a "BACKUP" option, can I maybe save some of my data? Im guessing my most important stuff is my Whatsapp convos and pictures. I have a USB OTG I can connect to it too.
I am desperately updating this thread in hope for someone to reply and searching MAO for any solution
UPDATE, I did it!
If anyone is as NOOB as I was, please, its even written on the TWRP WEBSITE WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD THE THING. YOU NEED TO DISABLE DM-VERITY. THIS IS EASILY DONE BY FLASHING LAZYFLASHER!
Im almost embarressed.
Dear Mod, feel free to do whatever with this thread, even though you guys didnt have the time to help it still felt comfortable knowing that you are out there somewhere caring. <3

Like the title states, I'm totally noob to rooting, but my mi device's been running out of storage lately and I don't plan to buy a new phone in the near future. So guess I'll just root my device so as to be able to transfer apps to the sd card, besides I don't like the miui interface, so root seems inevitable. But I don't have much knowledge on all this, what are the basics I need to keep in mind, so I don't end up ruining my device. Any help, youtube video will be greatly appreciated, please help me.

Can you please share the link to the thread?
here is the basic steps i used:
1-first of all u have to unlock bootloader (all data will be wiped) http://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
1.5 -check for sure u have unlocked the bootloader (fastboot oem device-info)
2-later install a recovery https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-4a/development/recovery-twrp-3-1-0-0-xiaomi-redmi-4a-t3576024
3-you can flash a custom rom,gapps,etc (optional).im not sure but if you want to stay in the stock rom u have to flash something to disable dm-encryption
4-after that the device can be rooted (search for magisk in google)
p.s.:im not responsable for what happens,check for help if you are not sure
EDIT
You just have to know, that there are some ways to restore everything
In my Case I had Bootloader unlocked already (ofcourse)
And I just was stuck on the TWRP Part... I never knew that was soo easy, but you just have to do it properly.
I will make an extra Tutorial now, because it will save many people from going insane
Because of this I didn't sleep for 40 Hours now already, because I was deeply shocked and some very very nice Pictures and important Communications would be gone... and much work in Optimization etc. etc.
Yes!
Link will follow here!

Hi,
I just tryed to update from beyond rom 5.2 to 5.8 and so I flashed it...
Then I got a Bootloop, because I didn't updated TWRP before.. so I got into my TWRP and flashed TWRP...
But after that I could not got into TWRP anymore, maybe because I forgot to add multidisabler..
So I flashed stock rom...
However Iam now stuck... I have important Data on the Internal SD and also the backup,
But I only come to the points where it asks me to delete all my data.
Is there any way possible to get the data?
Install TWRP somehow or get to a system?
Please suggest whats possible?
It's an emergency...
Hope you can help me & all who have this problem one day.
Best regards
I can only get to standart recovery, normal firmware & system doesn't boot - Bootloop...
I tryd to flash older firmware (ASH1, ASG8 & newer ASK1), but it doesn't boot system, always ask to factory reset and so on....
really ****ed up...
I hope there is another Way, then directly extract the data from the memory component... wich would be very expensive...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXDUhhyY2rE
basically the new flashed standart rom erases itself after first start, probably because it detects, that the system was modified before (beyond rom) then it reboots itself and there is no system anymore to boot, then it goes in a kind of pre recovery with the option to reboot, factory reset (including all data!) or reading a log...
DAMN I SHOULD BACKUP EVERYTHING ON PC... ALWAYS!
Still I really want to find a solution and I hope some pro can help on the S10.
No Solution for this.... it seems.
Omg i found the solution and got everything back
yes!!!! Great stuff

Happy to hear you solved... But after reading your other thread and after all of this excitement i still don't get how you solved the problem.... can you specify it?
Hi, I'm using this phone for a year and a half. It's starting to slow down so I'm planning to wipe it. While doing this, I'll root it (I'm still on stock ROM with locked bootloader).
As our phone is not quite supported with OTA (only security updates, no more bug fixes or new features), I'm wondering if jumping to a custom ROM is not the best way to keep my phone running well.
I haven't checked for the custom ROM scene for at least a couple years.
What ROMs are well supported/bugless/useable as daily driver?
I'm not sure of what features that's aren't in stock will be useful to me (I'll just add Magisk and a couple modules)
Should I stay on stock ROM, switch to LineageOS, or another ROM? Before jumping in, what can I backup as I'm not root yet?
Thanks a lot
well, this all depends on personal preference, I'd recommend you try out various ROMs and get the one for you but if I was to choose a ROM or two that matches what you've said that has to be the pixel experience Rom. It's minimalistic and gives you the stock android experience. it also is updated on a regular basis.
as for the backup, it's recommended that you do it before everything else, the image file and whatnot. I'd tell you to research on how you would go back to stock if forbid something bad happens(download the right Software for flashing back. But if you already know this just do a regular twrp backup and you'll be fine)

Hi, thanks for your reply. I'll look at this ROM then.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in order to install TWRP, I need to unlock my bootloader. To do so, all my data will be wiped out. Sure I can backup photos, videos, text messages, but not apps or no full TWRP backups.
Bump !
Thanks

yes the only way is with unlocked bootloader and yout date will be wiped
there are special tools to backup to pc or use otg usb to copy it using xiaomi migrate

Hi, sorry didn't saw your reply earlier.
I didn't root first because according to my memory, I had a delay before being able to unlock bootloader after purchase
What do you mean by "Xiaomi migrate"? = Mi mover? If so I'm not sure I can use it to backup my phone. Or I must use a second phone as storage

Hi, thanks for your help.
I finally installed back stock rom+magisk using this guide
Just have to use this trick between OTA
I tried to install twice Pixel Experience and getting bootloop using this guide
Is their a way to install TWRP with stock rom and be able to use OTA, or is it better to start it when needed using fastboot?
Thanks
