Is there any twrp recovery for this phone yet? Or how do I root it

Aloha Jay,
I'm also looking daily for TWRP recovery for the A9. I did stumble across this link for rooting, but haven't tried it yet. (http://orlandopython.com/how-to-root-htc-one-a9-guide/). I don't know how reliable this is, maybe someone can chime in if they used it for other devices. I have not gotten my unlocked device from HTC yet, anyways I'm a Verizon subscriber and have to wait for the software availability. I did check the hidden website and the boot loader unlock is there. I have a reliable person waiting for me the ship my device to him for S-off. I'm trying to get everything lined up before the release.

Hope this helps.

Mahalo

Ok interesting but... The bootloader can be unlocked from htc dev site, and when that is done you probably can install supersu from the pc. But I want the twrp and control it better. And s-off to.

Probably won't be long for TWRP, but few people even have the phone at this point

Can you please share how you have done this? I've been searching everywhere and can't seem to find a custom recovery let alone s-off the device, lol

That's how my unit shipped

Is it shipped s-off, unlocked bootloader and unlocked carrier? I thought it was just the Sim that was unlocked

 

[Cj719]

I have a carrier unit I don't believe they ship that way only the unlocked version

1) TWRP - current issue building twrp is no kernel source is available at this time, so touch functions dont work. If no one else posts a recovery soon, I will.

2) Root - At this time, the only actual way to root the device is the guide i just posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-a9/development/root-htc-a9-t3244141

I'll leave all the details below, and please please can you also send me or post a custom recovery as I believe I will need that as per your instructions in order to get this done. Many thanks in advance for your time and input.

Hi jcase

adb shell
cd /dev/block/platform/{something here, depends on your device}/by-name
dd if=boot of=/tmp/boot.img
exit
adb pull boot.img

Little confused here as you have said "something here, depends on your device by-name". In my case being the A9, do I type a9, htc a9 etc after the command? And "dd if=boot of=/tmp/boot.img" do I write that straight after the "device name" or is it one or the other?

Sorry if this is a noob question but never rooted like this before hence the question. Thanks
