Hey all. Finally decided to root my one. Does it make sense to wait for it's kitkat ota update and then root ? Would this change any of the steps in the root process?

You should wait, if you root you can download a Rom that is 4.4.2. But things like WiFi calling doesn't work.
Go ahead and root. After a official 4.4.2 is released someone will put out a custom ROM that will already have root as well so why wait

I just s-offed using firewater now, as it's possible the exploit could be patched in the next update...

Yes s-off that might be patched until a new exploit like gustav said and also imo a custom recovery to have some fun and trying out a few custom roms while you wait for an update just remember to use the update you need a locked bootloader and IIRC you need a stock recovery both not hard to get (someone plz correct me if im wrong about recovery)
Thanks guys I rooted but have been having trouble getting some tethering apps to work I think my kernel is write protected? Can anyone recommend a rom that has cool customization stuff and is also good with tethering?

Edit - I flashed insertcoin and the tethering works great.

When I saw the news for the HTC Thunderbolt ICS update finaly out I got so excited, I returned my phone to stock, ran the update, and was happy... not thinking "what if they update the HBOOT"...well THEY DID. Stupid me for not waiting one more day for the rooted release! So now Im unable to acheive S-OFF as my HBOOT is now 1.08.0000.
Perhaps its too soon to be asking this, but is there a way to S-OFF the new HBOOT?
Nope you're Sol until an exploit is found. Oh and there is an if there too because I don't know how much interest there will be in finding an exploit for an old device.

Well if anything came out of this, we now know for certain the results of accepting the update and hopefully warn others. I have to take this phone into best buy for repairs, and seeing as I already did this once and they just gave me a (defective) refurbished model, they most likely will do it again.

I have been able to get S-off via HTCdev after I requested the code to unlock the bootloader. I am stuck now with root and I would love to know if somebody knows how to push the root onto the ICS stock rom?

That can't be done. If you're s off flash the ics radios in Santods post in the developer section and then flash the ics rom.

I've tried it and it will not stick. Not sure why but I wish I had waited for the rooted rom before going back to stock and getting the OTA update.

Since I have been able to get the bootloader unlocked, I should be able to get root somehow.

Yes you should be able to flash superuser in recovery to get root. You won't be able to use the stock ICS ROM though if you're still s off

Yes but the tool (Thunderbolt tool) does not handle HBoot 1.08 at the moment. I wish it would because this would solve my problem
Find the thread that has the fastboot flash able form of cwm and then get back to me. I'm thinking that the root method may be different now though so I'm worried an ordinary version of superuser won't work.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I decided to take the plunge, and perform the OTA, after that hopped over to HTCDev to get the bootloader unlock to root. Flashed the handy dandy CWM recovery from fastboot, and rebooted into recovery. Flashed the SuperUser package. Guess What? No ROOT.

I did a fastboot and flashed frev3vo, and ran adb shell.....although I wasn't root at the prompt, I was able to su root from adb shell, but I don't know at this point how to get back to root. I probably can't load an RUU either cause I lost S-OFF.
Try flashing this one in recovery. http://download.chainfire.eu/310/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip?retrieve_file=1

Problem Solved. I had been installing the superuser.zip package to get root, but the SuperSU solved my problem, now I just have to get S-OFF again at some point, but for now I am happy root!!!! That Fixed IT
Please i cant get S-off I'm running the ics update and i need to root , I want to install deodexed please help
Until someone comes up with a unlock procedure for the new ICS bootloader you are Sol basically. Should have rooted first and not bother with the ota at all.

Sorry just come here from galaxy s4, some noob questions.
I just want to root but keep stock rom with no custom recovery, how can i do it? When the OTA update come out how to update that?
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
It is not possible to root without pushing root . zip files via recovery.
Rooting this beast i have to install the custom recovery then push root.zip like superuser. Then when update OTA come out just update that or using RUU.zip to flash it in recovery?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
OTA may or may not work on a rooted One, we haven't had one, so we don't know. That said, I never depend on my carrier to push out an update, I run custom roms so don't care at all about an OTA
Yes I know there have been threads on this but all deal with custom roms.
I have the stock rom, rooted and unlocked bootloader, with TWRP recovery. What do I need to do to get the OTA update, OR is the update available anywhere that I can just flash it through TWRP.
I am assuming I will need to flash the stock recovery back (Which I don't have), and possibly lock the bootloader. Does locking it clear the phone like unlocking it does?
Is the AT&T OTA update 4.2.2 or just some tweaks? Anyone know the benefits?

You need to be completely bone stock to get any sort of OTA updates. And the update you're talking about depends on what you're running now.

Ok so basically change to stock recovery, unroot, lock the bootloader. Will the lock clear my phone like unlocking it?
Currently I have 4.1.2

What is the lastest FW for htc one At&t?
I am sick of waiting att to release 4.2.2. The only solution I read now is to convert att rom to developer edition, which requires s-off and supercid. However, I have no intention to keep the device bootlocker unlocked. And I heard current s-off and s-on methods no longer work with 4.2.2.
So would it work if I convert the rom to developer edition, then s-on and relock the device, and at last upgrade to 4.2.2?
I'm running 1.26.502.12
I believe this is the latest.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Why are you guys waiting to upgrade to 4.2.2 if you are unlocked and rooted? Just install a custom ROM that is built from 4.2.2 basebuild?
I've been running 4.2.2 on my at&t htc1 since day one of owning the phone.

That is a viable option if you're already rooted. I ran AT&T stock rooted 1.26.502.12 for a while myself. But I've used both Scott's Clean Rom (Based off of stock AT&T/ HTC 4.1.2) and I'm using Android Revolution HD 12.1 today (HTC 4.2.2). Once you're rooted, there's those and plenty of other variations on HTC's Sense 5 interface with either 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 out there so there's not really allot of reasons to stay bone stock. Any updates (or the useful parts of them, at least) will be picked out and used by the Devs we have working on the One so I wouldn't bother waiting on OTAs. Just keep a nandroid of your stock setup in case you need to revert back for warranty purposes.
Good luck with att. They genuinely suck. I flashed to viperrom and supercid and flashed firmware my self. Not going to wait till Christmas for a damn update from them while they figure out how to update their terrible apps like att drive.

And hello to you too douche.
Because I like how it works as is thats why. I have more than enough rooted and rommed devices at home to mess with, I don't need this one to be.
Trying to use revone to get back to s-off after installing the new OTA update but I'm getting an error.
I saw in the revone thread that it should work on hboot 1.44 which mine still is.
Specifically, I'm getting error -6. Anyone successfully gain s-off after the new update?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
i'm having the same problem I'm going to try and relock and revert back the firmware to the original software
Can you even downgrade back to a fully stock .8 phone after installing the .11 update? Assuming the phone is S-On of course.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
no theres no full ruu for the original version what i'm going to try to do is fast boot flash whats in the old ruu
OK if you wouldn't mind letting me know how that goes. It's not a huge deal for me since I wasn't running any ROMs due to really liking wifi calling and the tmobile camera but I'd like to know I can get back to S-Off if I wanted

I have S-off with .11... it was off before the update, just had to re-install the stock recovery for the update to install. Can toggle on and off.
Now it seems the camera update (that restores HDR) has caused my camera to no longer work AT ALL.
Yeah. I didn't know that the update would work with s-off so I turned it back on before updating.
