[Q] Gaining Root Access - T-Mobile HTC One (M7)

How difficult is it to gain root access on the HTC One? I have had my One for a while, and now I want to gain root access. I don't care about installing a custom rom, right now. But I would like root so that I can run a few apps that I have seen, but they require root.
I read somewhere that HTC will unlock the bootloader for you. Does that unlocking of the boot loader, give me root, or are there more steps in the process?

I'm Not here to bash or make you mad.... but your question is very bland .... and asking about the most covered topic possibly covered on any forum, and there's tons of threads and info on how to root m7.
Id at least first read some.... and then if u can't figure it out come back with ?'s
Your just gonna get flamed asking such a thing , and probably why noone has replied.And they say here in xda that if u don't try .....know how ...or havent the first clue about root ,you probably shouldn't be rooting .
Tip. Use hasoons2000 all in one tool kit to root
It's step by step script that unlocks and roots device with minimal effort from the person behind the computer.

I have been reading through and I see a lot of posts are flashing a custom rom, but I'm asking because I don't see any that pertain just to root. Now if I just have not found the right thread, that is fine, but don't assume I have not done any reading. Come on now, I'm not 100% new to this site.

Look for the All in one tool. You have to flash a custom recovery to get root. That means no more OTA updates.
And yes, this has been extensively covered in the forums. But I know it is a bit hard to search for noobs.

Same here. I used the Hassoon tool on my Amaze. I should think both threads are pretty good in this circumstance.

[ROOTING]Explain Like I'm 5

Can anyone put into layman's terms the initial process of rooting a phone? I have the OTA and there's no root method, so I'd like to manually root via TWRP. Is busy box mandatory for root? If not, should I get it or pass on it? Where do I get the package to flash? Then for supersu....where do I get the binaries/zip package for that?
I want to ruu back to actual stock and then manually root, but the only thing I cab find is the root scripts, which don't work. I'm having issues with the 1.22 rooted Rom which I believe stem from stripping out firmware and or hboot and stuff. Since I'm already updated is prefer to work from the actual stock build.
This could be a great starting point for those with phone that are already updated... Anyone care to help?

well chill for one second xD you dont need and cant use any of that mess if you dont have root
what you did is whats preventing you from rooting, which was updating to 1.22, as far as i understand, the current methods dont work for getting you root, sooo, maybe im wrong but i believe theres a trick where u can RUU back to the old 1.33 or whatever, but look in the original development thread
Of course its still possible. Why couldn't I ruu (to 1.22)...run HTC unlock...flash twrp...flash supersu...flash busybox? Boom, I'm rooted on a stock build. I know the current scripts can't do it, bit I can definitely do it manually if I have all the right resources....or if I knew what I was doing... Right??

if the htc site doesnt have it, and you know how, then you should post your method xD
otherwise idk what your saying...
If you want root and s-off use the links in my signature where it says ]ROOT] and [s-off]
Just concerned with root... It says it works up to 1.13. I've already done the OTA so I'm 1.22... Will it still work?

Didn't you already answer your own question in the 3rd post in this thread. You seem to already have the answer.
However, I will say this is discussed in several other threads already just spend a little bit of time searching and you'll find the directions to help you. The time you'll spend searching is as much time as you've put into this thread already.

I have been searching.....I've spent HOURS and HOURS on this forum the past few days. I guess I'm just looking for confirmation that what I want to do is in fact the right thing to do... Everyone is so set on all the root scripts, but noone says what that process actually is. And that's what I want. I want the process so I can start contributing without just taking everyone else's work. I think there's a ton of people in my same situation (htc unlocked, s-on, accepted the OTA) that wants a simple way to get back root without reflashing entire roms. So I guess my three big questions are...
1.) I understand that root requires an app (superuser or supersu) as well as the binaries. I have no idea where these binaries are. Where would I get the supersu ones? Is it flashable? Where do the "binaries" actually go?
2.) Busybox...do you have to be rooted to install it? It seems like you do if this is really a set of tools not included in stock android. Maybe I'm wrong though. And more importantly....where do you get it. I'll be honest, I haven't searched around on this issue yet, so maybe the answers already out there... I just wanted to ask in case someone felt like layin down some knowledge.
3.) The flashable zip. I guess I could unzip one and see what's inside, but I'm sure someone on here can explain so it makes more sense than I'd gather by just unzipping and looking around. Like for instance, so flashable zips are entire roms...some are just radios...some are simple tweaks. This leads me to believe there's a script inside defining what to actually do. Let's say I wanted to create my own flashable zip which included TWRP, the root binaries and supersu, as well as busybox. Do I create a perl script called your_moms_a_skank and include it with all the other files? Is there a certain filename (instructions) the android operating system looks for when you flash a zip? Shoot i dunno.....I guess I'll start ripping these apart and seeing whats inside....
If you can't answer all three, that's fine. Any information is better than none... You all are awesome and I would buy you all cupcakes if I knew where you lived... Don't actually tell me where you live because the cupcakes will never come. I'll eat them long before they make it to the post office. I'm just saying....I'd consider buying you a cupcake. And it's the thought that counts...so you have to be happy about this.

looking to help a friend root her evo

Just a quick question why are there two dev sections for this device? what is the difference? is one for the older gb and froyo roms and the new for ICS and soon to be jellybean? I am looking into how to root this for a friend. I have a samsung gs2 with an unlocked bootloader I have never rooted a phone with a locked bootloader. So how do you guys go about this? For my phone I have a pc program called odin that does low level flashing so all I do is use it to install cloclworkmod or twrp and then flash su and install the.apk and busybox. Is there sometihng similar for this phone or does everything have to be done by ADB? If someone explains which dev section I should go to I will figure it out myself but the more info yoy guys can give me the better. I do still have to find out what software my friend has. I also want her to do this by herself so I want to be able to explain it to her. Thanks in advance.

The Android Development and Original Android Development forums are organized pretty much as they sound: Original Development will have threads for programs, mods, roms, kernels, etc. that are the original work of the developer. Android Development has threads for those that are built off of someone else's existing work (e.g. A rom that is a collection of tweaks pulled from other roms). I agree with the previous poster on using regawMOD, it is the simplest way to unlock the bootloader, flash a recovery and gain root access all at once. That being said, if your friend is on 1.22.651.3, there is an additional step to manually move the root package to the sd card. Read page 80-84 on the dev's thread for more info.

Just use the evo lte toolbox and do htcdev unlock. It's a little more complicating then odin l,Odin is more like using an RUU and turning it into a kitchen to flash modified roms

AT&T HTC One X+ CM10 and Root

Hi,
i searched everywhere couldn't find anything about the AT&T verison of HTC One X+ and CM10
Is there a way to root the ATT version and install CM10 on it???
Read only about the international version yet. Don't want to brick my new phone.
Thanks.
Nope, there's still a bit of a wait on CM10/ASOP for AT&T/TELUS users. When a usable version is ready, it'll probably be here with [AT&T/TELUS] in the title.
damm was so hoping to change my devices from s3 to htc thanks mate.
Currently using the cm10.1 for s3 expermintal. i think when nightly last night.
thanks mate

So, the experimital CM10.1 is running on your HTC One X+. I have the same phone and I have unlocked it from HTC's web site. I'm a noob and don't know a lot about this stuff. Still learning. Should I try any mod or wait? I really want to get the AT&T crud off of my phone. Like I said, my phone is unlocked now.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
There are several non experimental roms you can install already just to get rid of the at&t stuff. Also you could root it and use titanium backup or root uninstaller or something to just get rid of unneeded stuff. If it were me, I would not DARE try anything experimental with my new phone, especially something cm10 related because pretty much all the devs have said there is nothing ready yet on that avenue.

OK, I'm new here and I really thank you all for any advise. I will read on and try to find some of these existing ROM's. This is probably a REALLY big noob question. If my phone is unlocked, does that mean it is rooted?
BTW, I also thank you for the advise on not using any experimental roms. I won't touch unless I know for sure. This new phone is a gem and I don't want to screw it up.

No!
Unlock is unlock and root is root
Indeed. You have unlocked the bootloader which is step 1. Now you need to root which is step 2. There is an all in one tool in the android development forum you can use to root. That might be the easiest way to go. Once you are rooted you can get root uninstaller for free from the play store or titanium backup. Titanium is probably better choice there. You could also flash a rom through recovery that is already rooted but most of those require you flash the kernel seperatly so if you are.very new i probably wouldnt do that just yet. Read up on the process first. Hope that helps.

Thanks! My problem is this..... I used the HTC step by step from http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/how-to-root-one-x/
I got through the step where the instructions say to Mark - Right Click Copy - Paste into the HTCDev.com website
I then followed the instructions on through until the phone was unlocked.
At step 39 the instructions say to -
Reboot your phone into Fastboot mode and type the following in command prompt:and
type and execute at the cmd prompt -
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img
OK, I finished these steps and am now stuck at step 40.
I then copied the CWN-SuperSU-v.0.87.zip file to the root of my phone storage
The phone won't boot in to recovery at all
What is the CWN-SuperSU-v.0.87.zip file for and do I need to complete the step by rebooting using it in recovery mode? It will not boot in to recovery anyway.
So my phone was wiped and unlocked but back to the original AT&T build and I don't understand where I pick up in the process.
This is the point where I get confused. I research and read everywhere too. I know my phone is unlocked for sure. It's not bricked yet. :fingers-crossed:
I don't know where I pick back up with the process using some of the recommendations you guys have given me.

Please Help Me Unlock My Boot Loader and Root..

Lucky for me I have the only version of the Note 2 with a locked Bootloader from "BigRed". i came here to ask for assistance because I want to use my device to its full potential but I definately do not want to brick my device or harm it in anyway.
What I am confused about is the whole process of unlocking the boot loader and rooting. I have read extensively on how to do both but I don't know what process I need to do first. Do I root first and then unlock the boot loader?? Or Vice Versa??
I am also skeptical about some of the Boot loader Unlock methods I see floating around online. I have read up on a couple different ways to do it but when reading the comments under the tutorial article it seems there are alot of unhappy Note 2 owners that were not successful with the methods What I am asking here is if someone can point me to the CORRECT way to unlock the boot loader with the most up to date information regarding the latest update Verizon has put out. If I can be pointed to a good article on the correct way to root the device that would be even better.
I obviously know there is no "fail safe" way of going about doing this and completely understand all the risks. I just want to minimize those risks. Especially on a $600+ device!
Thank you for any help that is offered!!
A little tip for you. I've found is best to just stick strictly to xda for guides like this. Most those random guides steal the work of the hard working devs here. I've seen a lot of bricks of people just following one if them.
Here is the only way to unlock. It's easier then it looks.

^ what he said :good:
i used that method literally 2 days ago. it's really simple. just click and follow instructions. just follow the guide and you can even watch the youtube video of someone doing it before you do. once you have the bootloader unlocked and twrp flashed (one you finish the guide you will have twrp installed) you can hold the power volume up and home button while the device is off to boot into recovery (twrp). from there before you do anything i would recommend flashing the latest twrp and then you can go ahead and flash whatever roms you want. probably gunna want to stick with clean rom. it's basically stock rom with all the scum removed and a lot of root tools added.
Can I piggyback here?
My similar question is that when I got my phone 2 weeks ago the Verizon salesperson did THE UPDATE when he setup my phone. My system says I have 4.1.1 but otherwise I have not done a thing to it. Do you need to know the kernal version?... Which steps do I use to unlock and root to Cleanmod? Thanks.

use the method linked above! It works for both firmware versions that are currently available.
also very easy given that you follow the instructions
As others have said, follow the directions. Go slowly, measure twice and cut once. Then you can start feeding the ROM flashing addiction.

[Q] Before Rooting question.

Ok, well i am relevantly new to this rooting method for the android devices; so after reading through threads on rooting i have read sections on unlocking bootloader, roms, kernels and stuff and my question is. Will i be able to root my phone without unlocking it just so i can access applications that need root to run? i have no plans in adding or using custom roms on my phone and was wondering will i still be able to update my phone though the official updates? cause i have read from some threads and posts that you will not be able to update it and was wondering is it mandatory for me to unlock the bootloader while rooting....... thanks in advance for the answer and help
No. Root can be obtained only after unlockong.
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
hmm ok so i will need to bootload before rooting ha..... fine so how do i do the updates through roms.... if so where can i find them and are there any threads that shows how to use them.
I would recommend you not worry about how to flash ROMs quite yet. Once you obtain root, which isn't really hard, flashing ROMs will seem easy as pie. And to flash ROMs you need to flash a kernel, which is easily done with the rooting tool posted in the development section. Good luck.
dude could you tell like tell me how to root this device, cause i have been trying to root it for a while now and cant seem to do it..... i am following this thread to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39744013#post39744013....... and i cant pass through the "adb device" section as my device is not being detected and yes all my drives are upto date... so would be greatly appreciated if i could get some help.

At which step are you stuck? I will be glad to help you, you should have posted right in the thread.
I haven't gone through the mentioned guide above, and it might be all good, but I've followed this one instead when I first got my HOX+ (now I can do it blindfolded) and it was easy to follow and worked like a charm. Give it a shot.
Just an FYI (so you don't call us liars in the future when you switch devices), but not all root hacks require the bootloader to be unlocked, it depends on the device.
