Just bought an One S. Can i root it without unlocking bootloader? It's from uk. It's S4 right???
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
No you cant.
Check the box to see if its an S4 or S3, if the cpu speed is 1.7Ghz its S3, otherwise its S4.
Thx! It's 1,5 so S4. Gonna unlock bootloader first.

It's pretty easy to root. There's an all in one tool kit here you can use. Just unlockbootloader. Flash a recovery and install superuser. Win.
This could help

bootloader says tampered and unlocked. when i use hasoon2000's tool kit an click perm root an then run it just brings up the prompt an says the file directory.
pls help
If you have bl unlocked just fastboot flash a recovery than a Rom....
I followed the directions. I used to do this myself but it's been a long time. A year or two so I used a tool kit but hey if I'm right then cool. So throw a rom in the phone storage an install from there?

hello everybody! ive had a iphone for about 2 months now and couldnt take it anymore so i just bought a htc one s! i want to root it but i want to make sure i know everything that need to be done. i see the videos and the step by step processes but i have a few questions. every tutorial i see looks to be done on ics. i bought the phone and it was already on android 4.1.1. do the tutorials still apply? also when i plug my phone into my laptop it doesnt have the charge only/ sd mount (or whatever its says) like it does on ics version....it just says usb connected and wen i tap that it goes into hotspot and tethering options. it is a htc one s S4 so can someone please help me? thanks
You can still unlock boot loader the same way. To get s-off go through the development section till you find moonshine s-off

Ok now what exactly does s off do and do I have to do it in order to root?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
No you don'tHAVE to do it. All you have to do is unlock boot loader. S-off just allows you to flash whenever you want. If your s-on you have to flash the boot.IMG from the rom.zip through adb

Oh ok. So how do I go by rooting this thing when I'm on android 4.1.1
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
You can use hasoon2000's toolkit to unlock the boot loader then install a recovery
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app

You don't necessarily have to s-off except for certain things. If you want to flash custom ROMs, can be accomplished even without S-Off

There are these ROMs TrickDroid and zenROM. Sense 5 based. Head over to the Development section you'll find them there. Read the requirements for flashing the ROMs. If it says S-Off is a must only then should you go for it. Otherwise no need.

It's not that difficult. Also try non-sense ROMs like CM 10.1, ILLUSION 2.0 by $droyd$ (very good and stable ROM), PACman ROM.
best of luck.

According to this site, the Vodafone One S has a 1.5ghz processor, which, according to this thread, means you have the S4 variant. :good:
Thanks windy city
Forgot to update the thread, after a dodgy bootloop I unlocked rooted and flashed and am now running cm11.
Used your toolkit too, thanks for that
