[Guide] [Custom ICS Rom] Easy Guide To Install ICS

[Guide] [Custom ICS Rom] Easy Guide To Install ICS - HTC Rezound

-------------------------
BOOTLOADER
-------------------------
First, you must unlock the bootloader so that we can modify the kernel and use custom roms. To do this, you must go to The HTC Developer Website and follow the instructions.
WARNING: This usually voids your warranty.
Pre-requisite for rooting:
Setup an Android Development Environment by clicking here.
-------------------------
ROOTING
-------------------------
In order to install custom roms, you must first root.
Follow these steps to root:
1.) Download Amon Ra here.
2.) Next, load your phone into bootloader (as you did in unlocking it)
3.) Click "Fastboot" using the power button.
4.) Plug your phone into your computer.
5.) Open a command prompt (Start > CMD) or (Start > Run > CMD)
6.) Run the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (file directory)\amonra.img
-Of course you'll want to replace "(file directory)\amonra.img" with the location and file name of the amon ra you just downloaded.
7.) Now, get out of fastboot by clicking "Bootloader" or "Restart Bootloader".
8.) Select "Recovery".
9.) Now, your Rezound will load up the Amon Ra software we've just installed. Go down to "Developer menu" and press power. Then, select "Install su & superuser" and press power. Once it has finished, you've rooted.
Prerequisite to flashing custom rom:
You must download the files needed:
For S-ON Gingerbread Devices: Download The Rom, the PH98IMG.zip, AND the GB Firmware Patch
For S-OFF Gingerbread Devices: All of the above except the PH98IMG.zip file.
For S-ON/S-OFF ICS Devices: Same rule as above applies, except you don't have to download the GB Firmware Patch.
After downloading these files, reboot into Recovery.
-------------------------
FLASHING CUSTOM ROM
-------------------------
The next step is the one you want to do now. Flash the custom rom you want running on your device. Do this by following the steps below:
First, we must clear the cache. In Recovery, go to "Wipe", and choose "Wipe ALL data/factory reset", "wipe /cache" and "wipe Dalvik-cache". You will be prompted to delete each set of files.
Now, go back to the main menu of Amon Ra (Press return until you're at the main menu)
Choose "Install files from zip" and choose "SD card".
Now, choose the ROM you want to install, and install it. Also, if you're on Gingerbread, install the GB Firmware Patch the same way you installed the rom just now.
When it's done, reboot into bootloader. When you do this, the phone will automatically install the PH98IMG.zip file (the kernel). From here, you should be home free! Load up your phone normally and set up your accounts as you would out-of-box.
ISSUES:
If you don't install the GB Firmware Patch and were running Gingerbread, you could have problems such as the device restarting when it attempts to connect to Google or other services involving the mobile network.
If you have any questions or issues, please post a reply and I will attempt to help you to the best of my ability!

Great response time!
For us newbs, I'd like to clarify... This isn't an alternative HoneyComb, yet. Just an attempt to make the OTA honeycomb "unlockable", right?

Right. That's the "recovery" part.
But its also described as "root, and all". I'm wondering if this allows the installer to root the OTA Honeycomb? Or will more work be required before the install can be further changed (i.e. s-off, eventually upgraded to ICS, etc.)?

It works
I can confirm this works with root flashed and all. I now have a rooted HC. tyvm globatron

so, does that mean you could, in theory, flash a custom HC rom once we get one?
Throw up some screenshots or a video would you?
edit: oh and test rom manager and titanium backup if you don't mind.

I have a rooted CWM backup of the stock.
Do I need to restore and then unroot before proceeding with HC?

stuck on soft brick..
Hey Guys
how do you do the step 6?
I am in cmd and kept telling me command not recornized or something...
I guess I need to know how to flash that RUU-mini zip...
thanks for all your help...

No, as it says in the OP, You MUST be s-off and THEN run an RUU. Accept all updates to include the HC update and the view will be soft bricked. THEN use fastboot to push the mini ruu.

If it says it's an unrecognized command, then either you do not have fastboot installed, or you haven't gone into environment variables (assuming it's a windows box) and added those commands to the path. try that first (google is your friend and you can google in XDA). Good luck.

A quick question here. Once it is the soft brick mode, I hold down power and volume down to get back to fastboot mode. Is this correct? And I know the ruu will wipe my data but nothing here should wipe the internal sd, correct?

thank you so much for quick respond..
I think I found it here how to do that.. (for someone like me... )

root
Im not sure what this method of rooting will do for us, but I am under the impression that this will help if we need to go back to GB, or flash another custom HC rom when someone else cooks one up. I have not tested downgrading.
I can report that clockwork is installed with the option to flash from zip, mounts, etc just like the old clockwork. And I still have S-OFF. I installed ROM manager, but it gave me the "you don't have clockwork installed" message. I'm not sure if that is normal, because I don't use ROM Manager. Titanium did see root. Check out the screens.

I haven't done this yet, but I'm dling the RUU right now to do it and help people troubleshoot.
To answer your question, if you hold down the power button long enough, the view will power off, then you can hold power + vol down to get back into the bootloader and select fastboot mode, then open cmd, type fastboot devices and check to make sure yours shows up, then proceed with pushing the mini-ruu. If I'm wrong guys, correct me. Hope it works out for you.

Im not sure if this matters, but when I was in soft brick, I rebooted a few times and could not get into the bootloader. It just seemed to ignore the vol down keypress. I then unplugged the usb, powered off from soft brick, and held the vol. down button down even before I hit the power button as I was turning it on. Once I was in bootloader, I just plugged the usb back in.
EDIT: More tips:
1.After I flashed the initial stock ruu, and before I accepted any updates, I turned off fastboot in the power options and enabled usb debugging.
2. I did this from a Windows 7 laptop. When I initially tried to perform the softbrick steps, I got an access denied error message. The files were sent ok, but errored on saving. I closed the command prompt, and re-lauched the command prompt as administrator. The commands sent successfully.
3. Also, once you send the mini ruu over, the Tablet sat in the the oem loader with a 70% full progress bar after I successfully sent the mini ruu. I waited about 10 minutes because I was unsure how to proceed. I finally issued:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Once back into bootloader, I mounted usb storage, copied SU to the card, and flashed from zip

Yeah, rom manager won't work bc we don't have official support from Koush for CWM recovery so that's no issue, I was just curious is all lol. I'm glad to hear titanium detects root, as that was an issue initially for the view. Try to backup your apps, test radios (3g, 4g, wifi, bluetooth, GPS, ETC), run quadrant. I don't know how familiar you are with honeycomb to test out all of it's functions, but we are going to need a few people to test this out for globatron so he can make fixes and/or adjustments as necessary, which is why he specifically asked for devs and people familiar with troubleshooting to do this first. That's the beauty of open source, we're all guinea pigs.

I forgot to ask this earlier. What does the soft brick state look like? Is it just the white screen the the green HTC on it? I want to make sure I don't power it off while it is still flashing HC.

[HOW TO] S-Off, Flash ICS ROM, Flash ENG HBOOT, Recovery and Root!

This will explain everything you need to do to get S-Off, ICS ROM, ENG HBOOT, Recovery and Root.
Things you need to download:
My AIO Kit. Get the full version from here.
SuperUser from here
ENG HBOOT from here
ICS ROM from here
Stock T-Mobile 1.43 ROM from here
READ S-Off Instructions from here.
S-Off Tool from here. (Download is in the bottom)
As always, I do not take any responsibility for what happens to your phone. I've done this myself and I can confirm that it works.
This is for T-Mobile Users ONLY (for now). I'll edit it for other users soon.
BACK UP YOUR INFO FROM YOUR PHONE MEMORY AND SD CARD.
1. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging.
2. Download my tool and run it. If your bootloader is unlocked (most likely it is), on my tool, press "Boot into Bootloader". After you are in bootloader, run the "Relock Bootloader" command
3. Put the Stock T-Mobile 1.43 ROM on to your SD Card. Make sure it in the root folder. Rename the file to PH85IMG. Run the command on my tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the ROM. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode.
4. It will detect it and press the Volume Up button. It will flash the Stock ROM. After the phone boots up, re enable USB Debugging again.
5. Get your unlock_code.bin from HTCDev (unless you have it) and place it in the Data folder of my tool.
6. Run the "Unlock Bootloader" command.
7. When it sends the .bin file to your phone, press Volume Up and the Power Button. It will unlock your bootloader. Re enable USB Debugging again.
8. Flash CWM 5.0.2.7 recovery from my tool.
9. Place the SuperUser zip file onto your SD Card (not the internal one!). From my tool, press "Boot into Recovery". Go to "Install Zip From SD Card", "Choose Zip from SD Card" and flash "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip". Press the back button and select "Reboot System Now"
10. Read the S-Off instructions carefully and watch the video.
BACK UP YOUR INFO FROM YOUR PHONE MEMORY AND SD CARD.
Put an blank memory card in your phone. Run the tool and do the wire trick.
11. After it is all done, re enable USB Debugging. Put the ICS ROM on your SD Card. Rename it to PH85IMG. Run the command on my tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the ROM. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode. Press Volume Up and it will flash the ICS ROM. (It will boot twice into bootloader so DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE). After it is done, press the power button and the phone will restart.
12. When it turns back on, re enable USB Debugging. Put the ENG HBOOT on your SD Card. Rename it to PH85IMG. Run the command on my tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the HBOOT. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode. Press Volume Up and now you have ENG HBOOT.
13. Flash CWM 5.0.2.7 recovery from my tool.
14. Place the SuperUser zip file onto your SD Card (not the internal one!). From my tool, press "Boot into Recovery". Go to "Install Zip From SD Card", "Choose Zip from SD Card" and flash "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip". Press the back button and select "Reboot System Now"
You are now fully S-Off'd, have ICS installed and fully rooted!
Please be sure to thank all the devs that made all the tools and mods!

Alot of info here.
If I already flashed the ICS leak , now locked bootloader , S still ON.
Would it be 5-9 then step 13 ?

If you are on the ICS leak, I believe the new HBOOT that comes with it does not support flashing recoveries. I could be wrong though.
If you want to S-Off, follow from step 5 and onward.
If the new HBOOT supports flashing recoveries, do as you said, 5-9.

Great tutorial Hasoon but shouldn't you mention in steps 3, 11 and 12 that once you've finished flashing the ph85img file and rebooted in each case that that file should be deleted to avoid any conflict with the next step renaming to ph85img? If noobs already see a ph85img file, they might think the correct one is already there instead of deleting the old one and renaming the next step file ph85img which would be a totally different file. Just my thoughts to avoid any confusion which inevitably will happen. lol

Unlocked via HTC DEV my old info wasnt working for whatever reason.
Followed steps recovery flashed , superuser flashed.
Titanium cant get root priveleges. Updates SU DLd busybox.
Not sure if Im rooted or if the app is wonky.

Download Root Check Basic and take a screenshot of what it says. Let me see if the files got the correct permissions.

Weird , BusyBox was not launching anything. Rebooted now it does says SU not giving permission.
SU switched from Prompt to Allow no difference.
Update stops at checking for root.
RootCheck "sorry this device does not have proper root access"
For clarity S On , Bootloader is unlocked , CWM is installed , I flashed SU zip twice. ICS leak installed prior to all the above. S On, rooted , custom rom prior to ICS update.

Great to hear it worked!
Thanks! I love it lol. Makes my life easier as well!

Thanks but I think that the directions could be even more explicit.
Using the all in one tool, it is not clear whether the phone needs to be connected to usb (some people may forget), and it's not clear what mode the phone needs to be in. Does it need to be in the bootloader menu by pressing vol down and power? Or can you just plug the phone in via usb and start it working?

Just plug it in. Make sure USB debugging is on. App will reboot as necessary.

I thanked your post, but also wanted to thank you publicly. Your post was perfect for what I needed. And your tool is damn sweet too!

Hey, If you are S-ON you have to do one step more. Go as to my sequence.
I assume you have already downloaded fastboot, drivers and android in your pc. And your phone is bootloader unlocked via HTC dev method and rooted, CWM installed. So ..
You need these : SuperWipe (To wipe data) , A Custom ROM ( I suggest Mwakious Demcritous 3D v7.0) / Put these to your sdcard root and Get a copy of these on your PC hard drive too.
1. First go to your recovery menu ( Here its CWM) and select Install from zip file.
2. Select the SuperWipe.zip and click OK, this wipes all your data.
3. Now again select install update from Zip file on recovery . Select the Custom ROM zip file from the sdcard and click install.
4. Then youll see its getting installed. Once its done select turn off your Phone from recovery menu.
5. BOOT IN TO BOOTLOADER Menu now. (Holding vol down + power) , DO NOT TURN ON YOUR PHONE OR YOU'LL get STUCKED in BOOT LOOP
6. Connect the phone to the PC, then bootloader menu will say --> Connected via USB
8. Now unzip the same ROM file youve got in your Hard Drive. Once done find a file called "boot.img" inside that unzipped folder.
9. Now open up a cmd, go to you android tools location (eg: C:/>Program Files/Android)
10. Type > fastboot devices ( If this shows some result which makes any sense proceed to step 11)
11. Now type the below command on the CMD.
"fastboot flash boot C:\<Location you've extracted the zip>\Mwakious3DRom.v.7.0\boot.img"
12.If the result says DONE, you are good to go.
13. Turn off the phone and On it now
14. You should be logged in without a problem, guaranteed !!! Otherwise let me know
Thanks

[GUIDE] Drumz0rz's Complete Guide to Rooting your DNA

I know there are other threads out there that offer exactly what this does, but even with those, I think it can still be a bit tricky to figure out what to do if you're looking to root and modify your phone. I made this thread to collect everything I've done in one place. This should make everything very straightforward and basically n00b-proof.
I take no credit for any of this work. Please thank all the hardworking devs!
**Following all of these steps will WIPE all data from your phone. Backup before beginning. While these should all be safe, there's always the possibility of bricking your phone. I take no responsibility if you do.**
What you'll need:
USB Cable
USB port
HTC Droid DNA (without the OTA update!)
PC running Windows
Glass of Orange Juice (for the Vitamin C!)
**All of this shouldn't take more than 30 minutes but just in case, make sure your phone has at least a 70% charge.**
Preparing (Installing SDK, Setting PATH, testing ADB)
I highly recommend creating a directory on the root of your C: drive on your PC to hold ALL related files. I called mine "android" but you can call yours whatever you'd like. Whenever issuing any ADB command, make sure you navigate to this folder first.
1. Connect your phone to your computer. One of the pop ups will ask to install HTC Sync. Install this to install the drivers onto your computer. Once installed, you can go into your Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the HTC Sync software if you want.
2. Enable USB Debugging in your HTC Droid DNA from the path “Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging”. The option of USB Debugging should be ticked.
2. Download the latest version of the Android SDK to your PC here.
3. Extract the files to your PC (I recommend something easy like C:\android)
4. Run the SDK Manager and uncheck everything but the Platform Tools and install
5. Add the SDK tools to your system PATH file by doing the following:1. Simultaneously hold down the Windows Key + R
2. type 'sysdm.cpl' into the run dialogue box and click OK
3. On the system properties window that just opened, click on the 'advanced' tab. Then click on 'Environment Variables'
4. Scroll down through the System variables until you find the PATH. Click 'Edit', then add ';C:\android' (or whatever you named your folder) to the end of the line
5. Click OK and close the open windows.6. Test ADB by connecting your phone to your PC then:1. Open a new command prompt window by pressing Windows+R and typing "cmd" into the box
2. Type 'adb devices' and press enter. You should see your phone's UID listed.
If it says adb devices is not a recognizable command then you didn't setup your PATH correctly
If it says <waiting for device> then your missing the drivers or you didn't enable USB debugging. Try rebooting, and if it still doesn't show, reinstall HTC sync.
Other Tips
You can download all the files necessary at the beginning and do everything through ADB.
Always check the MD5-hash after downloading a file. If they don't match, the download is corrupt and you should try again. I use this simply tiny, no-install MD5 checker.
Always Test after each install to ensure it is working properly. Don't just string all of these together without rebooting once. Bad things might happen and you'd have no idea what's causing it.
You can reboot your phone into the bootloader by either issuing the command "adb reboot bootloader" or pressing and holding the PWR and VOL DN buttons simultaneously when you reboot your phone.
From the bootloader you can enter recovery or you can issue the command "adb reboot recovery"
If your command prompt hangs pressing Ctrl+C will break out of the running command.
Some useful command prompt (DOS) commands:
cd - change directory (ie. 'cd C:\android' will change to the 'C:\android' directory)
cd .. - moves up one directory level
dir /p - lists files within the current directory
Unlocking Bootloader
The next step is to unlock the bootloader. The best method right now is provided by jcase. NOTE: Don't install the OTA update or you won't be able to do this!Step 1: Get SuperCID
Full instructions can be found here.
1. Download .apk from link above.
2. Run the app
3. Run the following Commands via ADB
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(wait for phone to reboot into bootloader)
fastboot oem readcid
If you see 22222222 you're good to proceed. If you see anything else, reboot the phone and try again.
Step 2: Unlock via HTC Dev site
Go to the HTC Developer website and carefully follow the instructions. They're very straight forward.
When completed you'll have unlocked the bootloader. You'll see a new warning on the splash screen and the bootloader will say *tampered* at the top.Install Custom Recovery
You can choose either ClockworkMod (my preference) or TWRP recoveries.
1. Download the latest version of your preferred recovery. rename it "recovery.img"
2. Using ADB issue the following commands
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(once the phone reboots into the bootloader)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(once installation is complete)
fastboot reboot
Now you'll have a custom recovery, and can make a full nandroid backup (recommended!).
S-OFF
Full instructions can be found here. beaups did an excellent job writing this up so it would be pointless for me to reproduce here.
Root / Custom ROM
Choose any ROM you'd like. I prefer Team Venom's ViperDNA. I'll use that as the basis for the next steps.
1. Download the full ROM found in the second post in the above link to your phone.
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Select "install zip from sdcard" and choose the ROM .zip file mentioned above. Follow the instructions on screen.
Note: If you choose a different ROM make sure it either includes a kernel that supports system write or you have to install one first by doing the following. Also, if you have WiFi issues after flashing the ROM follow these steps to reinstall the kernel.Installing the Kernel
1. Download a Kernel (such as dsb's Cubed Kernel)
2. Unzip the file and copy the modules.zip file to your phone.
3. Via ADB issue the following commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(once rebooted)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(once complete)
fastboot reboot recovery
The phone will reboot into recovery, at which point you should flash the modules.zipENG HBOOT
This is *Optional* and allows for additional ADB commands to be used.
1. Download the HBOOT-8064 file found here. (thanks to fnoji111 and Argumentation)
2. Via ADB issue the following commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(once rebooted)
fastboot oem rebootRUU
(once rebooted to the black HTC screen)
fastboot flash zip PL83IMG.zip
(once complete)
fastboot reboot
Mods
These are some mods I found to be essential.Remove the Splash Screen disclaimer
Full instructions can be found here.
1. Go to the above link and download the RegawMOD tool (first post) AND the Droid DNA ENG Hboot plugin (2nd post).
2. Make sure the plugin is in the same folder as the tool.
3. Customize it how you'd like. I chose to replace the disclaimer with my own, that basically reads
If Found, Please Return to
*Drumz0rz*
*My Home Phone Number*
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. When you're finished press "Create ZIP" and save the file.
5. Via ADB issue the following commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(once rebooted)
fastboot oem rebootRUU
(once rebooted to black HTC screen)
fastboot flash zip <YourZipName>.zip
(once complete)
fastboot reboot
Now you should have a fully unlocked S-OFF custom ROM, custom Kernel, HBOOT Droid DNA! I hope this helps!

Will this method work for new ota ?

No, it's just a summary of what's out there. When someone releases a new method to unlock the bootloader I'll update it.

Thank you, when I rooted using the guide linked from one of the sticky posts most of the links were dead, so it is nice to have this.
One suggestion - perhaps include the steps to finish up for those that want to stay on stock rom but be rooted.

Thanks! Having these steps in a simple guide saved me a good bit of time.
Minor confusion on "Installing the Kernal". I extracted Cubed.Stock.System.Write.zip, flashed boot.img, then flashed Modules.zip in recovery. From the guide, does renaming the package to boot.img work as well?
Lastly, I'm not sure if you want to include flashing/loading ViperDNA's OTA updates.

Is there a way to factory reset phone and eliminate OTA update? I'm assuming no but never hurts to ask....

[Tutorial] Root, Unlock, Recovery and flashing a Custom ROM

This is long, but it's nice for noobs because it's detailed. It's honestly kind of fun, I promise. I'm assuming you have WINDOWS. This is based off of the guide by torxx!. It's modified because some of the info is outdated (you don't have to flash the boot.mg separately, for example). If you are NOT a noob you can just look at the "overview" for each step.
UNLOCKING YOUR DEVICE WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE. THIS IS A SECURITY FEATURE. BACKUP FIRST.
Part 1- gaining unlock token
Overview: go to htcdev.com and unlock bootloader
Be sure you've turned off fast boot option in power menu; usb debugging should be on (settings -> developer options).
Go to http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/[1] and install HTC SYNC. Alternatively, if you know what you're doing, you can install these drivers:
x86 http://www.mediafire.com/?qabo1tue2v1ky75 x64 http://www.mediafire.com/?8dl8s3l9mr6ggr9
Go on http://www.htcdev.com[4] and create yourself an account on HTCDEV.
Download these adb/fastboot files: http://d-h.st/RvD
Make a new folder anywhere. We'll use C:/fastboot as an example.
Extract the zip downloaded to the new folder
Go Here http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/[6] and select "All Other Supported Models" and "then begin unlock bootloader" (check the boxes, click proceed, all that good stuff). YOU CAN IGNORE THE DIRECTIONS THAT THEY TELL YOU (and follow this guide instead).
Power off your phone. Power your phone on by holding power and volume down.
Highlight 'Fastboot' the volume buttons then press power to "select".
Plug your phone into your PC and open a Command Prompt. (windows XP - Click Start > Run > type CMD in box then press OK; Windows 7 - Click Start > type CMD in search box then press Enter) Change directory to your folder where we put fastboot files by typing cd c:\fastboot for example.*
*Alternatively, you can just hold down shift and right click in the folder and select "open command window here". Neat huh?
Type this into your command prompt window: fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Select & copy the text as per step 9 on the HTCDev website
Paste your identifier token into the box at the bottom and submit
You Will Very Shortly Receive an email from HTCDev with a link to the second part of the instructions and your "Unlock_code.bin" attached
Download the "Unlock_code.bin" from the email and save it to the same folder that we extracted fastboot files
Type this into your command prompt window: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
The Display Will change on your phone, press Vol+ to accept and power to confirm.
Part 2
Overview: flash your recovery. Boot into recovery. Turn phone off if it boots into OS. Boot into back into recovery. You're done!
Download a recovery:
TWRP (the one I use): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173870
CWM 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172979
CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863
Place the Recovery file to the folder where the fastboot.exe is.
Same thing as above- boot (volume down + power) into the bootloader and highlight 'Fastboot' the volume buttons then press power to "select".
Do the same thing as with the command prompt above. This time, however, you'll be typing:
fastboot flash recovery "name_of_the_recovery.img"
For example:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img
then type:
fastboot erase cache
From the menu, boot into recovery (use volume to move up and down, power to select). The phone might boot to the OS instead of recovery, don't worry!
Turn off phone then turn on (while holding volume down) to boot back into the bootloader.
TAMPERED shows up, boot into recovery and now your recovery should be working!
Part 3- obtaining root
Overview: flash a super tool
Download a super user tool for root:
SuperSU (I use this one): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
SuperUser: http://download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip
Alternatively, download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252959. This is a stock rooted rom for ATT. If you download and flash this instead of the super user tool, you're done. (This rom includes super user) Or you can download a custom rom such as this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023
Turn on your phone again (and disable usb debugging) and connect to computer, copy the .zip super user tool to a location you remember ON the phone.
Flash it with the Recovery: Power off your device and then hold the VOL DOWN + Power to boot into the Bootloader Navigate with VOL and Power to Recovery Now flash the .zip:
- install zip from sdcard
- choose zip from sdcard
- select the downloaded SuperSU/SuperUser zip file and flash it
- Reboot now
You're not out of the woods yet! The stock kernel is system write protected, so you still can't modify it (changes won't "stick"). You'll have to flash a custom rom or a kernel if you want stock instead.
I recommend these kernels: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255900 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233665&highlight=menu
Download it.
Installing custom rom/kernel ("flashing a rom")
Overview: Download Rom, boot into recovery and wipe and then flash.
According to Shenye, even though your device is s-on, you can still flash boot now. So just do this:
Turn on your phone again (and disable usb debugging) and connect to computer, copy the .zip kernel/cutom rom to a location you remember ON the phone.
Flash it with the Recovery: Power off your device and then hold the VOL DOWN + Power to boot into the Bootloader Navigate with VOL and Power to Recovery Now flash the .zip:
- install zip from sdcard
- choose zip from sdcard
- select the downloaded SuperSU/SuperUser zip file and flash it
- Reboot now

I feel like this title should be changed to clarify that it's unlocking the bootloader, not the SIM lock.

Just wanted to say this tutorial was 100% dead on and what I used to unlock bootloader and root/rom my One.

Oddity - Did everything, I've got root but I -AM- out of the woods. Was installing bulletproof mod through recovery but it kept failing due to missing a MD5 file or something -- Trying to work that out through that thread atm but anyway, rebooted the phone a couple of times now and I still have root, Tit back up works OR are we talking about things like CPU clocking won't work since it can't rewrite?

Sticking this.

Excellent tutorial. One thing to add:
If you flash the TWRP recovery you link to, after TWRP boots for the first time, if you reboot into System, TWRP will offer to install SuperSU for you; no need to find another to flash. Once the system reboots, you can launch the GUI installer to finish the SU install (it will boot into TWRP and back one more time to do the actual flash).

Does anyone know if this will work on the Rogers HTC One?

Thank you. Followed this last night. Worked flawlessly. The only thing that threw me was rebooting into recovery. It took maybe 3 or 4 reboots for it to say "TAMPERED" at the top. When it didn't say tampered, it would not boot to recovery.

TELUS?

Having a really odd problem. I flash the twrp recovery per instructions. I try to reboot to recovery and it seems to try and then, blam, the att boot.
I have tried this from the bootloader, selecting Recovery, as well as from a booted stated using "adb reboot recovery".
Any hints for me? I originally had a silver One and today got my Black One replacement,. Had no issues on the original one. Hmm. Guess I will try CWM.
FYI: Yes I unlocked the bootloader and it says Unlocked in there
-I also notice that I seem to go right into fastboot, when I boot the bootloader. Now, I believe that is normal if you have the usb cable attached, but this happens regardless.
-flashed stock recovery back and can get into it. trying twrp again, renaming the file to "recovery.img" just because...and it worked on that stock recovery file
-Also, very hard to get into bootloader from powered off state. I may flash RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular and see if it helps me.
OK, maybe it is the phone or ATT has done something screwy on the latest. I can not even get the RUU install to pass inspection. Wants me to check the connection. I know all my stuff is in order, as I did this all on the previous one. grrr
-Just noticed mine does say Unlocked but it does not say Tampered.
-Crazy. I decided to get a new Unlock token and redo the unlock with it. Now, the bootloader finally says Tampered and I got into TWRP. I have no idea why, since I would think that if the original Unlock token was incorrect, it would not have unlocked the phone.
So, rather than providing worthwhile information for anyone else having problems, I think this post is probably deletable and that is fine by me should the powers so decide.

but, it will say relocked. nobody cares or seems to check. also, it will say tampered until you restore a stock ruu to flash. I used RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular.exe for mine when switching from silver to black. it is the right one for att. sorry, don't have the link to the download anymore.

great writeup! quick comment though, just helped my brother unlock his phone. i had a similar issue to @Barsky above so I decided to try to reflash the recovery. The first time I used the line fastboot erase cache after flashing the recovery and I think that's what caused it to not boot into recovery. The second time I flashed TWRP, I didn't enter that line and voila it worked on the first try!

I tried installing clean rom 2.5 and used the su file i found here ----> http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/03/17/root-htc-one-supersu-android-41-jelly-bean-tutorial/2/
any help is greatly appreciated... I just want my phone back

I think the last bit was your problem. You can't factory reset from bootloader. Try to push twrp again in fastboot then load/flash clean romantic, then boot up. It already has root so you don't need to push su.
