You'll need to wait for HTC to fix their unlock tool, which according to them should be any day now, and then use that. Once you're unlocked, you can flash superuser.

anybody know if this is possible yet?

Some people have been able to use the HTC unlock tool, most people it doesn't work for.
At the moment, that's really all there is...

Those of us on HBOOT 1.44.0013 are still waiting on an unlock method since HTC's boot unlocker is still borked and people are still trying to figure out a way to downflash to HBOOT 1.44.0007.

According to the latest email from HTC, it should be fixed by the end of February.

How to fastboot flash recovery
and then:
Gain root access on the latest 1.55.531.3 update, ONLY IF you are S-OFF
At the second link you can find an updated superuser file to flash in your new recovery.

I have an S-On 1.55.531.3 phone. I tried the HTC unlocker (link from nlarge). Everything flashed correctly w/o error, but I did not get the splash screen on my phone at the end that asks if I want to unlock my phone. So my phone is still locked. If anyone has any thoughts on what to try, let me know.

You're part of the group for whom the bootlooader unlock tool doesn't work, and you'll have to wait for HTC to deliver a fix.

For those of us with hboot_1.45.0013..... any way to get recovery? I can flash the recovery but it does not seem to do anything when i boot in to it. When i make any choice like install from zip and select using power button just a logo of rom manager comes up and no action..... any help for my hboot is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Upgraded to ICS using RUU, how do I get fastboot back?

Hey all,
I used the 3.24.401.1 RUU and then flashed arhd 6.2.1. Running great, and love ICS...but I would like to get fastboot commands back so I can SuperCID and do other things, such as flash to Mike's custom firmware/other future firmwares more easily.
How do I get back fastboot on the RUU firmware? I had thought I could just use the old 1.17 unlocked bootloader but luckily I checked and found out that it's incompatible and would make my device unbootable with the current firmware, so that isn't an option.
Hmm....
P.S. CID Getter says my CID is: HTC_621
Edit: should I just use the link called "HTC2" at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154 and download the unlocked one?

haha...redownloading 6.2.1 as we speak... im afraid to leave recovery though lol, just wanna make sure i can get back there. wonder why it wasnt working with down button, only adb... will post here with update when its finished.

maybe my old rom didnt work cause it noticed a different bootloader and just...didnt want to boot. does anyone know? it seems like what i tried to do should have worked (just basically switch out stock 3.24 for mikes unlocked 3.24)

i still cannot for the life of me get into bootloader/recovery via power+downvol. any ideas anyone?

Hi,
Have you got your ROM up and running?
Can you use the volume rocker in the ROM to adjust the sound?

hey, still 20 mins left on my ARHD download... hope it works ok. volume rocker works fine if i do adb reboot bootloader, i am able to move up and down. it seems like the firmware flash went fine, still can do everything in recovery. im ready to flash arhd soon as its done downloading, then we'll see if it boots and if i can once again enter bootloader using vol- so weird...
btw the bootloop is very fast. it goes to the first HTC screen, then just for a few seconds to the 2nd screen with the "quietly brilliant", then it just resets itself. (that was what it did before i super wiped, anyway. oh and i also restored from a backup once as well, to no avail.)

-= NOTE =-
Your probably get into a bootloop after flashing teh 3.24 firmware.
Two way to get into your recovery.
1. Open the cmd and type adb reboot recovery
2.remove your sd and delete the firmware image and reboot into the bootloader and select recovery
this seems relevant..

Flashed wrong boot.img, going through bootloop

I had no idea but I was trying to flash leedroid and then I found out shortly after that leedroid is only available for the international version. I flashed the boot.img (and all went well), but then when I reboot I get the HTC logo and nothing more.
This is not good at all. I'm worried that it might have soft bricked it. But, is it just a matter of loaded up fastboot and flashing the correct at&t boot.img?? If so, do I do it in the same way that I flashed the wrong boot.img?? Also does the bootloader have to be re-locked? I assume so. Maybe not.
Thank you!

Just flash the correct one like you flashed the wrong one. The boot loader does not and should not be relocked, it should be unlocked.

is all you flashed, the boot.img or did you flash leedroid too? If you flashed leedroid then do the following:
plug it in to USB while it bootloops type adb reboot recovery
from there you can access your nandroid backup assuming you made one.
if you didn't make a backup then yeah you'll have to flash the 1.85 RUU. To do this, relock the bootloader from adb fastboot oem lock
run the RUU unlock the bootloader then install your recovery and push root files via recovery.
Much easier than having to re-root 1.85 with the new exploit etc.

If he can get to recovery then he can try pushing a ROM to the SD and flashing it first instead of flashing the RUU and all that hassle.

Amen.
nandroid is always my first step when flashing a ROM

I just flashed boot.img. I cannot get to recovery.
Also I've been reading about how to flash a rom via fastboot. At the time I thought that the reason it was not working was because I flashed boot.img fist when I should of flashed leedroid first. Then I found out (much, much to my disappointment) that leedroid was only for international phones (which as we all know, have a different cpu).
Anyways, I've read that you should relock the bootloader before proceeding and now I see clearly that I was wrong in doing so. Why oh why don't I wait for you guy's awesome help...?
Anyways, so now I'm relocked. I just need to flash the correct boot.img (as soon as I find it). But I don't think I can do that while I'm locked. Heh. I would think I could just run the one click superCID tool again but I can't do that because the tool tries to reboot the phone using adb shell and the phone isn't fully powered on. I think will have to do it from fastboot, but I am not sure how.
Thank you guys for your help.

Download your previous Unlock_code.bin and flash the unlock token again. Your CID should still be SuperCID, installing Rooms or RUUs don't change the CID.

Thats actually why I re-locked. I've read that before installing an ruu, you need to re-lock.
I can get to fastboot. I tried to unlock via fastboot but it quickly timesout. I'm currently downloading 1.85 .exe ruu. I will give that a try as soon as its done downloading unless you guys have a better idea.

Link is correct. Pay attention to the subforum. It specifically says AT&T One X, if that is the section you are in.

Just flash an att rom no need to flash boot.img seperately anymore it gets flashed in recovery. All you had to do to begin with is use fastboot to flash recovery then flash a new rom in recovery.
To stop the bootloop just hold the power button down til the buttons flash when the screen goes black hold the volume down button and it will boot into hboot. It's a safety feature htc built in because of no battery access, and it works no matter where you are at in the boot process.
You can use sick sense its an att build and flashes the boot.img while flashing the rom.

I get the same error... the Phone with a red exclamation mark with a triangle around it.. Is it because I'm rooted. I just searched and it might be it..
Should I follow the guide on theunlockr.com / 2014 / 03 / 18 / unroot-htc-one-mini /
So.. Should I only lock the bootloader or completely unroot it?
I'll try with only locking the bootloader in a sec..

Ok, here's what happens when I use fastboot oem lock : snag.gy / CnD59.jpg .. The bootloader shows as "RELOCKED", which is good.. but I still fail to install the update.. But regarding the un-rooting process, on theunlockr what is posted the .exe is US.. I'm from Bulgaria, which is Europe.. and if I download a UK version of the .exe will it still work ?
Edit.. will a tool like Revolutionary work? I saw it just sets the phone to S-OFF

I know that you can't get OTA with unlocked bootloader and rooted, and I don't think you can do it with a re-locked bootloader either.
OTA also failed for me with a "locked" bootloader, where i used revone to set the bootloader to Locked rather than Relocked.
The only way i've gotten OTA to install was to run the Att Ruu.exe to restore to stock. If i run update immediately after that, it works. If i do other things, like unlock, root, etc, the oTA fails, just the same as yours is failing.
If you want sense 6, the easiest way, from where you are now, would be to flash twrp 2.7.1.1 recovery, then install the stock sense 6 rom in the development section. If you're not on the latest firmware (hboot 2.22) then the path is a little longer, as you will have to s-off, then update firmware, then flash sense 6 rom.

If you want sense 6, the easiest way, from where you are now, would be to flash twrp 2.7.1.1 recovery, then install the stock sense 6 rom in the development section. If you're not on the latest firmware (2.22) then the path is a little longer, as you will have to s-off, then update firmware, then flash sense 6 rom.

Ok, thanks for the info.. I don't know how to find my firmware.. It doesn't show up on the About phone menu.. I've gone to the bootloader and it isn't there as well.. if it's the hboot, my hboot is 2.21.0000, meaning it isn't 2.22.. ;/
Also.. can you tell me what *** TAMPERED *** means in the bootloader? Right above *** RELOCKED ***.
And what is the 'Att Ruu.exe'? I don't mind having no root, no unlocked bootloader, etc.. I want the pure HTC experience again..
Edit: I saw that 'Att Ruu.exe' stands for the AT&T model.. the thing is that mine isn't AT&T.. mine is international, I think.. doesn't have any other branding or whatsoever..

Hboot was what i was referring to when i said firmware. Sorry, but i don't have any experience with 2.21 so i don't know what ROMs you can flash with it. If i had to guess, i would think one of the older sense 5.5 roms in the dev section would work on it, but i've never been on 2.21, so i can't tell you which ones with any confidence. I don't think any of the sense 6 Roms will work for you, but, again, i don't know for sure as i've never been on 2.21.
Tampered i think comes up when you use custom recovery. I don't know exactly what triggers it, but i don't think just flashing custom recovery does. I think it might happen when you use custom recovery to flash a ROM. It's just a flag and nothing to worry about. It doesn't prevent you from doing anything.
RUUs are executable files that can restore your device to stock. They are carrier and location specific, so you need to make sure you use the one for your carrier and location, if it is available. I said ATT RUU becuase I'm on ATT in the US. RUU files aren't available for every carrier in every country. If you are in the US on Att, i can help you with this. If you are somewhere else or on a different carrier, i can't.

Oh, that's a shame ;//
First - is there a way I can update to 2.22 ? ;/
Second - I mentioned earlier I'm from Bulgaria, which is in Europe. Isn't there an international RUU ? ;(
I've unlocked my bootloader again as I think found a way to make the phone S-OFF.. I just have to root my phone again as it's not rooted -__- I don't want a custom ROM download, I want the stock one with no modifications or anything else.. ;/

Sorry. I missed where you said your location.
To upgrade your firmware, you have to s-off. There's a post somewhere around here that walks you through using revone, which I've done and had success with. I think I linked to it yesterday, so look through my old posts. If you can't find it, I'll send the link later.
But, yes, you have to be rooted to s-off.
I don't know about ruu for Bulgaria. Try looking on the HTC website, or your carrier's website.
The stock roms in the dev section seem to be pretty much 100% stock. I'm not a developer, so I don't know that they are for sure, but I think they are created directly from stock, just modified so you can flash then in recovery.

I tried revone about a hundred times with no success.. I just can't get it to work. I get an error 'Segmentation fault (core dumped)' and that's it -__- I tried googling but with no success.. I'm now trying rumrunner but as I look at the command prompt, it most likely won't succeed as well ;/ Yep.. it failed, said ERROR: looks like device is not rooted AND lacks an unsecure kernel. su or FU!!
!
I'm rooted and with unlocked bootloader, installed CWM as well
Edit:
So I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...-official-stock-sense-6-rom-firmware-t2817921 .. I'm gonna try it out now, it's the same as my update, so yeah..

Yeah, I understood that the hard way.. Tried so many things, nothing worked.. just threw my phone (on a soft place, but still) and won't deal with anything 'til tomorrow.. I'm just so pissed at the moment. The root that should work and has worked before doesn't work now.. I really don't know what's wrong -__- gonna do everything all over again and try to get S-OFF and attempt to fix OTA updates.. ;/

Sorry. I've been there before. If i have time, i'll re-set my phone back to factory, s-on and see if i can remember what i did to fix that error. One possibility was that i didn't have a ROM installed, but i don't remember for sure. I'll see if I made any notes let you know if I remember what i did to fix.

What's your exact status:
Unlocked or Relocked?
Tampered?
Which recovery?
Version?
Is there an OS installed or did you wipe?

It's Tampered and Unlocked. I totally formatted everything, put CWM and using stock software.. It's the Sense 5.5 with Android 4.4.2. ClockworkMod Recovery Touch 6.0.3.6

No longer needed

Edit- sunshine can temp root and s-off all versions now so this method is no longer needed
If you are currently on OS 4.17.605.9 you can downgrade to 4.17.605.5 while s-on by using a signed RUU.
Why might one need this? Perhaps a sunshine app update will support it? Dunno
This will NOT wipe your phone.
Option 1
For Lollipop
Download DOTTAT_VZWM8_S_ON_5.0.1_RUU.exe and doubleclick. Allow file to extract and install dependencies and then follow on screen prompts.
Option 2
Copy 0P6BIMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32. No exfat! No internal storage! Must be external SD formated to fat32!
Reboot phone to bootloader and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.
Option 3
- (use this fastboot https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001612150 )
Fastboot RUU mode . This method assumes you have a working ADB/Fastboot directory on your PC. Download RUUish file and place in your working fastboot/adb directory. Boot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC. Issue the following commands.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
###while in this mode your phone will display an HTC logo on the screen
fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip
##while in this mode you will see an HTC logo on the screen and a green status bar across the bottom of the screen. When command output ##completes it may say reboot required to flush etc... if that's the case issue a "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and restart option 1 again.
example
## assuming flash completes and no further flushing/reboots are requested from the cmd output you can now reboot IF you simply wish to reboot the system you can issue "fastboot reboot" which will reboot system.
## expect a good 5 minute plus first boot!

No. This just downgrades you from 4.17.605.9 to 4.17.605.5. It does not change your CID to one allowed by HTCdev.com

Quick question from a noob:
You say in the post that this will NOT delete data from the device. But the RUU tool ReadMe has a giant, bold red warning that says "Installing the ROM Update Utility (RUU) will delete ALL information and data on your Android phone."
So... which is it? Will the tool wipe the device or not?

Hello, after exhaustive novice efforts and following the link rabbit hole, I'm here. I have a Verizon HTC One M7 on lollipop 5.0.2. I'm bootloader locked, s-on and of course not rooted. I tried this thread to no success http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...root-root-method-bl-unlock-5-0-x-ota-t3122099. That thread deals with kingroot and Sunshine. It looks like I need to get to temproot for Sunshine to work.
This thread looks like it's using downgrading to get to a point where one can attain temproot which will enable Sunshine to run? - that is if I'm understanding correctly.
Will this work for an M7? It looks like it's for an M8.
Is there any other hope for a locked, s-on, unrooted M7 at this point? THANK YOU for what you do.

Boot phone into fastboot mode and restart the EXE.

Used Fastboot Method
I tried the exe method and it kept getting stuck. I switched over to the Fastboot method and the flash of the ZIP file failed. Tried this twice and it failed both times. I'm S-On with a Verizon M8 (5.0.1). I'm trying to downgrade to root and while I've seen several sites say it couldn't be done, your post gave me a small bit of hope.
Let me know if you have any ideas. Gracias.
