Rooting Question

I rooted my phone and had SuperUser running perfectly.

I then shut S-OFF and installed Google Play Edition on my HTC One.

Everything worked perfectly.

Here's the question: My phone claims it's not rooted anymore. SuperUser is no longer installed and any attempt at using rooted only apps don't work. Do I need to re-root my phone now that Google Play Edition is running on it?

Thanks!

Just picked up the One tonight and am not able to get the phone recognized in Fastboot under Windows 8. Keeps saying drivers aren't installed. I've tried the drivers from the OP, and also HTC Sync and nothing seems to work. Any idea how to get the phone recognized in FBoot mode?
My last HTC was the Magic, so it's been a while for me with HTC

Worked it out with some tips from this thread

Even as a network admin, I hate windows 8 for so many reasons.

HTC One X Evita with Hboot 2.14 soft brick, need stock rom!

Hello all... PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Ok... so I unlocked my AT&T HTC One X Evita. Hboot 2.14.

I rooted phone and have TWRP installed. I accidentally deleted the .rom (.img) backup, that I had stored :crying:.

I tried to run the RUU, but my hboot is too old :crying:.

Can someone point me in the direction of a Stock .rom file for the HTC One X with Evita, Hboot 2.14, radio 0.24p.32.09.06?!?!?!?!?

Or some direction/guidance so I can un-soft-brick my phone. :)

I have the developer kit installed on both my Win Vista boot as well as Ubuntu 13.04 (adb, fastboot, all that jazz).

I would be extremely grateful if any of you could send me a link or code to help me unbrick my phone!!!

Thanks... Semi-noob Ed.

Lol another internet tough guy.

Seriously dude, all he was doing was pointing out that you are posting in the wrong forum. I know what is like to want help when your phone may be messed up, or whatever, but slow down and make sure you post right. Odds are that someone here could have helped you out, but after that reply I find it doubtful. Good luck.

Does this still work?

Has anybody recently followed this guide to unlock the bootloader on the htc one? I have read about At&T locking the bootloaders and i wasnt sure if this still worked maybe after an update or anything. I really want to root my HTC One, but i dont want to mess something up if it wont work

I just completed the process as of 10 mins ago. Everything went off without a hitch, and I had the latest AT&T update installed. So good luck! :laugh:

phone wont boot to system

this is the first time I tried rooting a phone and installing a custom rom.
I followed this guide up to the point of installing the Bulletproof rom but after that my phone just gets stuck at the htc load screen and just blacks out after that. I tried reading other threads and found out that you have to back up your phone before installing a custom rom. I have no back up since this guide did not tell me to back up my phone before installing the rom.
Is there any way to fix my phone now that it wont boot up to the system? I can still get to the bootloader and the twrp menu.

Managed to fix it by pushing another rom using adb :D Phone is working better than ever :D

For some reason I keep getting an error whenever I try and get the identifier token. I've tried on different occasions and just can't get it. The phone says fastboot usb so it's recognized. Has anyone else had this issue?

Hi Guys,

Is anyone aware of a way/exploit to root this device without unlocking & flashing a custom recovery? I am just looking to enable titanium back-up / ad-blocker for now. Cannot afford to void anymore warranties :)

Thanks in advance.
