Hello,
I am new to android.
I was wondering about the order of action regarding root CWN and unlock.
I know Root is first, but the other two?
I'm pretty sure that the unlock process installs CWM on the phone as well...so you'll only need to do that

First be rooted already.
Second be unlocked already.
Third download and copy Zip to Sdcard.
Finally boot into recovery and flash the zip.
Do Not Wipe Any Partitions During Install!

Yes. You have to root before you unlock...I posted a short [Guide] on rooting in the general section that has the links you need.

Yes. First you will need to use this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133446
Next you need to use this to S-OFF and install custom recovery to your phone: http://revolutionary.io/ (this was formerly known as AlphaRevX)
Please keep in mind that there is not currently a known method to return to S-ON.

Not if you read and follow instructions carefully. Also, I don't see how anyone could manage to brick their device using this method (if they follow instructions).

Well, I have not heard about anyone bricking their device using this method, so if you do manage to brick it, I'm sure you definitely did something wrong which no one can be blamed for other than yourself.

Sorry for double post. Hit quote too soon.
ll the tools use the same web site to generate the goldcard.img file. When the site is down all the tools are rendered unusable.

It's likely to be back online but the question is when. It could come back tomorrow, next week, next month even or never. Or, the website could even be changed.

That's because the power button is no longer the way to "select" a choice in Recovery. If you press the power button a second time when that happens it will come back.
Press the trackball button to select and you can use the trackball to move around as well.
I'm not a big fan of the change either. You can flash any version of CWM you want though.

It's a sdcard with a special boot sector image (from Revskills in this case) applied, based on the serial number of the sdcard. it temporarily bypasses your phone's CID to allow flashing HTC updates intended for other carriers/distributors.

Just download the RUU and extract it from there. If you search, there are instructions on how to do this.

If that doesn't work for you, let me know.
P.S. When you find the 'rom.zip' file, just rename that to PJ75IMG.zip, and you can flash it.
Hello,
So whats going on is my QI wireless on my phone stopped charging. so i called verizon to get a replacement which they are overnighting tonight to me. so my question is, is there a way (step by step) to just put the Orignal Recovery Flash rom back on the phone and just lock the bootloader without resetting the phone? if so and do that. well the tamper disappear on the phone as well? ?? because they want the phone how it is. they dont want me to do a phone reset so they can see what cause the problem...
So 2nd question if i don't fix the rooting and ship the phone as is to verizon. Do you think i well get charged for rooting my phone???
Thanks!
Flash a stock rom and kernel, restore all your apps and stuff, delete any root apps, remove supreuser/SuperSU, flash the stock recovery, and relock if you feel like it. If you all that you should be good.
Or just ruu and relock your phone. As long as the problem still persists they won't care that you wiped it.

I hope the new one doesn't come updated because if so you won't be able to root. I would restore the old one and see if the wireless charging works again if so you might want to keep it if the new one is updated.

The download on that post is a zip file, which you would flash in recovery to have a stock Rom. Then you would restore your apps, remove any root apps, remove superuser, put a stock recovery on there and relock.

Does anybody has the copy of Stock Recovery img file for Htc One AT&T?
I'm trying to find it too, one that I can flash using only the phone, through bootloader or TWRP. I downloaded the 4.4 OTA, but forgot that I need to flash back to the stock recovery.
