Hey guys i need a little bit of help. Im trying to root my HTC one from Verizon but cant seem to find where and how to do it. I have searched thru Google, YouTube, multiple android forums but they all seem to come to a dead end because of the bootloader. Im not new to android and rooting but i have been away for a couple of years. I have been on an iphone. i had a droid x, and Razr and i rooted both and had custom roms installed so i think i can still do it if possible. Anyways can someone give me a link to the latest method and some easy to follow directions of how to do it if possible. Sorry if this has been covered before and thanks in advance.

Anyone have any luck rooting this yet? I just got one today, my first Android phone, and really hate being locked down to only market apps. Hoping that rooting it will allow me to work around that.
Yep. theres an HTC aria thread with instructions on rooting it, installing a custom recovery and installing ROMs.

Sorry double post
Just wanted to know since I'm coming over from the G2 and I want to go ahead and root the phone. Just got it today out of the box, do I need to downgrade anything before I follow the root instructions? The tutorial I found isn't very clear on that and I dont want to end up messing the phone up already.
If this helps you answer my question I've got.
Android Ver 2.3.4
HTC SENSE 3.0
no you don't need to downgrade anything
Thanks a lot bro.
I had a g2 plus 3 replacements rooted everyone trust me this is way easier. Plus no downgrade required. Just rooted my 4g slide
Nope. Our phone is pretty easy to s-off and root.
click my sig for extra help if you need it. From s-off to roming and everything inbetween!
Hey guys and gals! My att one x is on the way. I trying to find out as much as i can, before it arrives, for development and custom rom usage on the new device.
I have been out of the forums since i sold my att note.
I know this is alot to ask for some, but...
Can someone please lead me in the right direction for rooting, recovery (cwm if possible), and rom.
My goal is to use a net 10 sim and unlimited plan with this device. This might/would require a carrier unlock code? I can get the code if i need it but id really just appreciate someone summing up these basic questions with basic links or knowledge of the processes. I feel my contributions to our xda forums warrant these inquiries.
Im sorry that i cannot take the time to read the entire att one x forum and subs. Im literally in constant overtime at work. If someone here has the knowledge and guidance, I would appreciate every bit of help.
Summary : Information needed for...
Root
Recovery
Rom
Misc. Information i need to know, including cross-platform rom compatibility (i. e. One X and att One X)
I want to thank you guys in advance because I know at the heart of XDA lies a caring and gifted community of talented people who feel good helping others.
I promise to run with the information and do as much research and reading as possible when time permits. I have done so with all of my devices and being a creature of habit, well...
Thanks again and please dont expect an immediate response of gratitude, personalized to individual replies, until this weekend when i can get back on here and start the one x root process.
Check out this thread, it's got links to pretty much everything you'll need:

What he said. Also i suggest twrp over CWM. It is touch based, plus it works with plenty of roms. You do want to make sure you are on a version where your phone can be rooted.
Good luck.

Is this an AT&T phone, as I suspect from your post? If so, I hope you can still return it.
There is no root method for AT&T One XL phones on 3.18, and there may not be one for months if ever.

This is very true. If the device is from AT&T and has the 3.18 Jellybean firmware, its can't be rooted. Although its possible there is some old stock at some stores with older firmwares. Anything but 3.18 can be rooted. I think someone posted on here just a couple weeks ago about getting a new phone from an AT&T store that had 1.73 (the version from when the phone was released!).
OP should check the firmware version in Settings, and go from there.
I'd like to thank anyone ahead of time for taking the time to read and answer my question.
I have a Verizon HTC One M8 running Android 5.0.1. After a year of stock, bloated use, I would like to root and install a custom ROM. I learned that I cannot use HTCdev to do it because Verizon blocked it. As of now, it seems that there is absolutely no way to get s-off. I searched and the only option seems to be Sunshine. However, Sunshine does not support android 5.0.x and higher. I have nowhere else to go. I find it very hard to believe that there is not support on how to achieve s-off on a popular phone for the biggest carrier in the US. I am not complaining, rather I attribute this to my inability to find such a thing. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could direct me to a guide or thread that can provide a solution or at least, an answer.
Thanks again for your time,
Phil
Hey guys, I've been using android for quite a few years now, but when I came upon this forum, I saw a few posts warning of bricked devices. So, just to be sure, I'm looking for a guide on how to flash ROMs safely without bricking it. I looked around quite a bit and can't seem to find any guides for it. I have the i815 Verizon version, by the way. I downloaded CM12.1 already, but I've never used ODIN before. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
