so I have an AT&T HTC one, wanted to know, if i root it - will i be able to install any ROM?
because i saw a thread about CONVERTING it to EU version, and i was wondering why and if i must do it in order to root.
so basically:
1. is the rooting on the AT&T HTC one done differently from any other HTC one?
2. if not, do i still have to go through this conversion guide or can i just root it normally?
2. how can i install a stock, clean ROM without all the AT&T rubbish, and have the OTA updates like on any other normal android?
thanks
If you want to install any ROM, basically u need to unlock bootloader, s-off and change cid to supercid and well root the phone.

What do you get from rooting your htc? Will it slow down your device if you just choose to root it but not install any custom rom on it? And is it possible to unroot and what happens if i fail to root?
EDIT: If im in Singapore (Asia) , do i download the WWE ASIA RUU ? is that correct? for unrooting
Research
There are already tons of pages dedicated to this question. Just search on google and you will find your answer.

As mentioned, I'm sure there are pages on the internet more qualified than I am at explaining it, but from an average person's perspective, rooting should not be slowing down your phone at all.
In fact, rooting allows you to access the system level files, which allows you to delete some default apps and programs that could actually be slowing down your phone.
Some apps can reach further in your phone with root access, which allows you to get more customization and functionality out of your phone.
I'm not very experienced in this, but I believe unrooting your phone involves re-wiping it, but I'm not sure. Don't quote me on this one.
Depending on the severity of your mistake during the rooting process, you can either brick your phone (the worst option, and rather unlikely if you follow directions carefully) or nothing will happen and your phone is still un-rooted.
That's the best I have.
Unrooting will wipe your device because you have to relock the bootloader and run the RUU which will update your phone and return it to stock.
Rooting should give you benefits if you flash a custom ROM and kernal.

There is no need to relock BL and flash and RUU to unroot.
Just delete superuser.apk/SuperSU.apk from /system/app/ and SU from /system/xbin/ and your unrooted.

Ive seen different ways listed in the forums here but what is the best way to root the DNA? Im not looked to flash a new ROM to it yet, I just simply want to root it...
Thanks in advance!

There's really only one way. To preface it, you can not be on the ota. If you are then you can't root it.
Run the cid apk to change your Cid. This is on the original development forum.
Then go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader.
Now you can flash a custom recovery and then flash a superuser package.

If you updated to latest OTA then the root won't work. Here is a easy to follow guide. http://goo.gl/ZVurY
Hey guys,
Just wanted to say that I was successful in rooting my htc one for tmobile and installing a custom recovery. I used the tool found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
Just wanted to spread the news in case you were wondering if it was possible.
I hope there is a way to do it without unlocking the bootloader. I just want root.

pretty sure you can unlock the bootloader straight up on the HTC dev site.

Yeah thats what I did. I also followed the tutorial in the android development forum.
Edit: I'm gonna go for the M7 version because it says M7 in the bootloader. Wish me luck!
Yeah I'm wondering that too, do we use the M7 version or the ATT one? I'm assuming the M7 because the Tmo version is no different than the international version.
I used the m7 version last night. Worked great. Note sitting on the stock firmware with cwm touch and root. Needed to get rid of all the junk apps

Just want root access, not the custom recovery/ROMs
I'd like to have root access to my HTC One, so that I can use Titanium Backup. That's really the only reason I rooted my Tmobile Samsung Vibrant (for that, I used SuperOneClick).
I found this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
How do I use this program to maintain the stock recovery and just grant root access?
Is it possible to do the following?:
1- follow the prerequisites in the "To root the phone. Follow in order" and click Go.
2- Skip "Next, flash a recovery."
3- Flash Kernal
4- Run "Perm Root"
Will that work? If not, what do I need to do to get what I want?
I'm not interested in custom ROMs and I don't want to worry about screwing something up. I use wifi calling, and it's important that I have it.
Do you have to be on stock ROM to do these things? I just flashed SlimBean 4.2.2 this afternoon
No

You have to use revone to do it.

Its very easy to do. Just use revone's method and go step by step. after thats done you can get super cid too to install whatever you want
S-off is not needed to root or flash new roms so it is not really necessary to do but is worth while for removing the tampered message and a few other things like cid. But the HTC One is pretty open with s-on in that you can install international roms without being s-off. Pretty much any rom is open for you without changing cid.
Hello,
I recently got the HTC One ATT, The bootloader is unlocked, it is rooted, and I have used revone to get S-Off No problems.
Now I want to install Viper rom from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334294
My question is, Do I need to get super CID in order to install the viper rom? The thread doesn't say if it is needed or not
I am mainly going to use viper rom and probably not going to install any other Rom, is it still recommended to get super CID?
What will I be missing out on if i do not get super CID, will viper rom be restricted in any way, will i just not be able to install sprint roms etc.
I read on a different thread that super CID isnt needed to install international roms, but I just want to confirm so I dont have a $500 paperweight.
Cheers,
Nope not needed
