[Tutorial][Resource][Root](Unlock S-OFF Required)Recovery-SuperSU for HTC One-Verizon

Sloth · Aug 23, 2013

Sup XDA
I'm not a Dev and so this is my contribution to the HTC One- Verizon community. I don't own this device just trying to help out and put all the files in a single folder.

This is a DIY root method. By doing it yourself you will learn some basic knowledge about using cmd windows,using ADB,using fastboot.
This is also the same method used in my Guide for the HTC One - Sprint

~~Unlock your bootloader - www.htcdev.com Follow the instructions at HtcDev to unlock your bootloader.~~Verizon blocked it from working

Flash TWRP-CWM - (refer to the Read Me First Text on how to fastboot flash TWRP-CWM)

Flash a Superuser app of your choosing - (refer to the Read Me First Text on how to flash SuperSU)

<---- If this guide helped you buy me a coffee

Using this method will NOT give you S-OFF it will help you unlock your bootloader(HTC-DEV not possible without S-OFF) flash a custom recovery(TWRP or CWM) and install the Superuser app of your choice.

What's included:
Read Me Text (instructions,ADB commands, and whatnot)
ADB/Fastboot Tools
Latest HTC Drivers v4.2.0.001 and HTC BMP USB Drivers v1.0.5375(32 and 64 bit versions)
TWRP openrecovery v2.6.0.1
CWM v6.0.3.6 (Classic and Touch)
SuperSU.apk v1.51

Might be a dumb question.

I unlocked and flashed the basic superuser through CWM. I think I've had a few problems with it though, because some apps cause a reboot when it accesses root functions - not all of them though.

My question is - can you switch from superuser to SuperSU if you've already flashed one, and how would you go about doing that? Thanks in advance.

I have always used SuperSU... I'm pretty sure you can flash the SuperSU in recovery.

If you are already rooted, then just download SuperSU from the market and run it. It will prompt you to update the SU binary and will automatically replace Superuser.

For whatever reason, when I tried that originally, it didn't work. I think something might've gotten messed up when I initially rooted, but I'm not sure what. Either that or there's just something off in my phone. It might explain certain root applications causing the phone to reboot when they try to do certain things.

Not sure if you're aware, but the bootloader can no longer be unlocked via htcdev.com, as Verizon caught on quickly.

I seem to remember this happening with other HTC devices (Droid DNA maybe?) but I believe JCase and/or crew figured out a way to bypass. Also, I remember him or someone on the team saying it would work for future devices that the removed from HTCdev.com.

Bottom line: I think there is still hope, provided the Devs can implore the same bypass.

EDIT: See this post-- http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36976137&postcount=1 TeamAndIRC may be able to do something similar?!

Jcase specifically said he will not be working on this one... Although he was kind enough to give a big hint to someone who knows what they are doing with that stuff.

I wonder who he told. I hope they can get it done!

davehasninjas · Aug 24, 2013

I wonder if anybody has checked or looked into the perf_event exploit to obtain root like they have for the me7 updated S4's.

Won't unlock the bootloader, but if you gain root, couldn't you edit the build.prop to trick htcdev into giving you an unlock?

Nope. Build.prop is not used for htcdev unlock. Besides, /system is write protected anyhow.

Thanks again for the quick answer though.

So how do we use this guide to simply root our phone now that unlocking through HTC Dev and flashing a custom recovery is no longer an option?

No way to root? Holy ****... I'm regretting this purchase already.

Stay strong HTC one' ers
When I first got my dna(may 15) it had no s-off method. But after a month beaups fuses and the RevOne team released an exploit...point is that the one is a big enough device and Verizon is a big enough network that someone will eventually release an exploit
