any way of rooting htc one wihtout unlocking bootloader?
more over i read some where if i unlock bootloader i wnt get future updates as well as i may lose some apps in htc one?
does unlocking bootloader wipe all d date on phone?
if yes suggest me best tool to back up everything on pc?
thanx in advance
There is no way to root the HTC One without unlocking your bootloader. Also yes unlocking your bootloader will wipe all the data off your phone. About future updates as soon as you go back to your stock rom everything will be back to normal and you can get the updates. Some apps and features will not work because they need things like frameworks from the HTC Sense roms.
As long as you don't go to a custom rom all your feature should work but installing a custom rom is part of the fun.

What about s-off does it requires unlocked bootloader? Does it root?? Does it wipes away the data ???

Hi...
I want to delete some apps like stocks...and i know i need to be rooted for it...
But when i trien temp-root with free3vo...deleted some apps and they were never deleted...
I dont want to perma root cz i think then i wont be able to get updates from htc...
I dont want anything more then rooting cz i love sense and thats why i actually bought sensation...
But now my phone is getting slower and i think deleting stock apps will solve it...
Is there anything just like one click root or i have to wait for unlock bootloader...
And i dont even have drivers for my sensation on my pc...so if someone can provide it...ill so thankful...its not downloading from htc site.
Thanks..

Temp root with fr3vo will not let you permanently delete apps. They will just return upon reboot because they weren't really deleted in the first place. Trust me when I say that htc is not rushing to get updates out to us. Or any of their phones for that matter. People are on their Facebook page everyday pleading for updates. Devs are way more eager so your best bet would be to flash a custom rom because then you are guaranteed an update to the newest android. You can't root without unlocking your bootloader. You can do this at revolutionary.io. The instructions are at the top of the development thread. Along with the drivers. Just because you root doesn't mean that you can't have sense. We actually don't have a real "no-sense" aosp rom yet. Go ahead. Free your phone from htc's grip. Then you can delete at your heart's will.
Okk...so you mean i would have to s-off i think...and which is the best custom rom according to you with sense...and can i revert back to stock rom if i want??

Yes s-off is the best option. The best you can do is do some research. Read the 1st post of the rom's thread and find out which suits you best.
Thanks...
But will i be able to revert back to original??
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
Once you have cwm you can backup your original rom. If for some reason you want back to original rom, you can restore it with cwm.
Thanks...but as i am a nood...
I tried s-off with revolutionary but it showed me sofe error communication with phone is intrrepted unepectdly try again later...so i couldnt s-off n cant even find some help on it..
So i thought the other way...first flashing the 1.45 on my phone then getting bootloader unlocked with the htcdev...
So guys can you plz guide me to most easiest and simplest guide to flash it...

New to Android here. Does CWM backup the original ROM in it's "pure" state, i.e. factory fresh? Or does it backup the ROM based on your phone's current state.
I'm coming from an iPhone, where the iOS files were easily accessible and I never made back-ups. I have so many questions about Android modding. This forum is filled with information, but has my head spinning.

Try reading the stickies on top of the development boards. Following directions also helps. I was able to s-off in one click, I don't see why you're having so much trouble.

I would surmise that its a backup of the phones current state. I was still s-offed after I restored my phone to my stock backup after a botched adb push.
Take it a day at a time, took me about a week to get up to speed on this thing. Learning how to use adb and knowing a few basic commands will make your life easier.

It is indeed a backup of the current state. You will be s-off as long as you don't take an update or change your bootloader. Your bootloader is not included in a backup as it is not necessary.
Hi all
Is it me, cuz im not seeing the 'desire s' listed on the htcdev.com as an option to unlock the boot loader?
All I want to do is root my stock Rom. Not interested in trying any other roms.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
It's not listed but it works. Just select the bottom option "Other Supported Devices" and follow the procedure
Does this procedure get around s-on also ?
Concerns me why they haven't listed it.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
No, your device will be s-on, but the bootloader will be unlocked. It's almost the same.
I have no clue why they haven't listed it either.....
Can you still root with s-on ?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
After you unlock bootloader via htcdev.com, yes you can
Thanks for your help. One last question, how do you root the installed rom?

Look for SuperOneClick in here, it will easily root your rom
Sent from somewhere around the globe using XDA app on my HTC Desire S
I unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com (operation was OKAY).
SuperOneClick 2.2 hangs at step 7.
I'm guessing that you have a hboot 2.00...
When u used HTC.dev to unlock your HTC desire s you need to Install cwm or 4ext and then you can flash any Rom you like.
After flashing your HTC with the new Rom you need to fastboot the boot.img to your device cause your device is not S-off.
An other option would be downgrading. Do a few searches and you will be fine.
Otherwise post back and I'll help you out.

Hello,
Thank you for your help.
Yes I have the HBOOT 2.00.002 - Android 2.3.5
In the post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390496
"dtronics" suggests 2 operations to do for s-offing for the Desire S :
1 - unlocking the bootloader (htcdev.com)
2 - using SuperOneClick 2.2
The second treatment hangs at 7th step.
Without downgrading the hboot (2.00.002):
If you have a link to a simple and complete documentation to doing s-OFF.
Thank you
Dos bootloader unlock deletes all personal apps, contacts, files or not?
Superoneclick 2.3.3 roots desire s?
Thx for help

I unlock bootloader and root, install recovery, then it deletes all contacts and file in internal storage, not delete file in sd card
In the drop down list choose other supported phones

What's better to do if I want to flash roms, htcdev unlock or S-OFF? I mean, do I have to do both, or just one, and what's better?
And what should I use, EXT4 recovery or ClockworkMod Recovery? Tnx
I would choose downgrading if necessary and S-OFF. The main disadvantages of the htcdev method are the loose of warranty and the need to flash manually the boot image every time you change the rom.
I personally like 4ext but CWM is also very good.
Next time you need some info gry to search the forum, this things were allready discussed.
As a mather of fact i don't think there's a thing left undiscussed in here.

hi im new at this sort of stuff and require help. i wish to root my desire s to put custom roms on but it is locked and is hboot 2.00, what is the best way? should i use htc dev's bootloader or downgrade my hboot then root?
thanks
Tried the search button?
Downgrade is the best option. Using the htcdev method will void your warranty.
Search for revolutionary and use that first and follow instructions to the letter worked first time on my desire s 4 months ago and on 2 nd Rom. Also this does invalidate warranty as soon as you root phone but u gain loads of stuff n extras.
Have fun and enjoy a new phone, make a mistake or have a prob help always found on xda

Can someone post links in the order the rooting and unlocking goes for stock ics. Please and the dangers of it too. Thanks

You can use this tool to s-off or unlock bootloader, so you can install a custom rom or root. And if you mean sim unlock here you go.
p.s if you unlock your bootloader you should you 4ext as your custom recovery. And next time please use the search bar
Sorry for asking about this, I've searched around and find there are various posted and not sure which is correct one now.
I just got back a HTC Sensation from repaired that they replaced. IT comes with ICS already installed....so now I want to root it so I can unlock to use with other phone companies. I don't plan on using custom ROMs and would like to be able to receive future updates.
What's the best way to root the phone with this new firmware already installed? Can someone point me to the right guide? I see there's some all in one tool and also about unlocking the bootloader via the DevTool but I prefer not to lose warranty.
Thanks for the help
Well if your hboot is 1.27 you will need to head on over to HTC dev to unlock the boatloader and once you accomplish that install a custom recovery I would recommend 4ext and make sure smart flash is enabled and now you have two options you can root the stock Rom or you can download a custom Rom and if your comfortable with doing the wire trick to s off

Hi,
Check HERE
Also I notice that you mentioned sim unlock you don't need to be rooted to unlock your sim unlocking your sim is referring to making your device carrier free meaning if in the U S you will have your choice of GSM carriers to choose from depending on how far you go with the sim unlocking process you could free it up from tmo and that will allow you to transition over to AT&T or you could free it up free it up for all gsm carriers like straight talk and your now there's is a script I saw in the dev section to unlock your sim I my self haven't tested it yet I can hunt it down for you if that's what your looking for however to run this script yes you will need to be rooted

Hi,
For sim unlock,look HERE
and maybe HERE
Malybru as given you two links and those are what your looking for and as I stated in a previous post you will need to have your device unlock and rooted to run that script so your your main focus right now is to unlock your bootloader and install custom recovery and then root your device and you may have to s off your device to run that script as I haven't tryed the script yet so be sure to read up on it more before running the script
