How to root HTC one 4.4.2

[menachemt]

The title basically says it all. I want to root my HTC One. I found this All in one toolkit by hasoon2000. Will it work with the HTC one kitkat version or do I need to find a new one? If any of you have a root HTC one that's running kitkat, can you please tell me what tutorial you followed if you followed any. Also, would I lose sense 5.5 when upgrading because I sorta like it. Thanks in advance.

It's the same as it's ever been

unlock your bootloader at HTCDEV.com
Flash custom recovery (TWRP)
boot to custom recovery and on exit it ask to Root
swipe to choose yes

As a followup to this question just want to verify the viability of my plan. I am getting a replacement HTC One on warranty next week due to a camera issue. My current One is unlocked/rooted/s-off stock 4.3. I would like my new phone to just be identical but with 4.4.2 so my plan is:

Activate new phone do not log in to google.
Update to 4.4.2
Root as per past instructions
Take backup in TWRP of old phone
Copy and load backup to new phone so its identical
Profit.

Sound like it will work?

Which folder names? I've never noticed a difference in names between versions or anything.

Could someone share a link for the Toolkit, the original one from the OP have been removed. If I missed it somewhere in the thread I am sorry.

TWRP in the sdcard .. it saves the backup under your phones serial no

The part in red would change for a different phone

The toolkit was pulled many months ago ... search theirs a different one now.
The best bet is to learn to use adb and fastboot, so if you get in a bind later you know how to handle it

OK, yeah I figured it out once I copied it over to my PC.
