Hi, Guys:
I am on S-ON, unrooted, android v4.4.4
I am not sure if I could install any ROM modified from stocked one using stock recovery?
I have to wait Sunshine v3.0 to s-off and install TWRP but I could not wait for it to flash some rom
Just want to have a try to see if this is possibie?
@rfresh

I believe you could install a custom ROM with a stock recovery via sideload but I believe you have to be S-OFF first in order for that to work.
Anyone please feel free correct me if I'm wrong ?

You cannot edit any software with s-on. As of right now, there isn't a way to obtain s-off on 4.4.4. There is a tool called sunshine that, when updated, will s-off and unlock the bootloader. But it will be a couple of months, so until then you are SOL.

Hi,
I´ve got a question about rooting my internetional one mini, on the internet I found this http://rootwiki.net/en/android-unlock-anleitungen/472-htc-one-mini-bootloader-unlock-tutorial/ and this http://rumrunner.us/instructions/ , what tutorial should I choose ? I´m running on official 4.3 version and I want to have Hybrid- One rom.:good: Thank you !
Hi i used this guide ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601741) to unlock bootloader, root and install custom Rom but the link you have posted seems fine. I personally used ramrunner to s-off as it was very simple to use and managed to do so without any issues, however i would read this first (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612312) so you know what your getting yourself in to. @tr1gg3r84 hybrid rom is awesome but you dont need to be s-off in order to flash the rom.

okay, so just if I want hybrid rom I only need to unlock boot loader, root and install twrp ?? I don´t need s-off right ? And the article which you sent me is in german language and I can understand nothing. Do u have other in english ? Thank you:angel:
yes, just unlock bootloader and install custom recovery (twrp), you do not need s-off! yes the article in german but chrome should give u an option to translate(or just use the link you posted from rootwiki). ensure you dload the most recent recovery,supersu and rom from the relevant threads on xda.
Everything that you need to know has been posted/answered in the Q&A section on this forum before, so you shouldn't run into any problems.
Hi. Been out the loop for a while and struggling to find the answer to my question.
I'm on 4.4.4 no custom revovery but with root.
I have an OTA notice to go to lollipop, which should be fine, as I have stock evetything?
How do I simply get root back afer the update?
So many posts with options, I'm struggling to find the right answer.
Unlock bootloader, and then either use cf-autoroot or flash latest SuperSU BETA through twrp.

Thanks, bootloader is already unlocked. I don't really want to install any custom recoveries, so the cf-autoroot sounds like the way to go.
Do you have a link for how to use this method?
Here you go http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/

to use a custom recovery you don't need to flash it.. just boot it.

Latest for CM11S is 05Q and Oxygen is only available through a flashable zip. So you will need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash it.
You can also wait for CM12S to come out "later this week," which should be available through an OTA.

You can use a toolkit, but I would suggest against it.
@timmaaa has an excellent thread that has been posted here which gives you literally everything you need to unlock your bootloader, install a custom recovery, etc.
If you flash Oxygen, you will not be able to OTA to 12S. However, I'm sure there will be flashable zips up the same day it comes out.

thanks.. I found a thread but its for LOCKED bootloader.. mine is already unlocked... Is there any way to re-lock my bootloader?
The procedure is same for unlocked bootloader (for rooting you don't need to downgrade if unlocked but since you're rooted it matters not).

Install a recovery, flash a pre-rooted lollipop rom.
Find recovery in the dev section (If you already have recovery you are OK)
Find pre-rooted flashable zips in the general section, download it, flash it.

what do you mean by "flash it?".. how?, can i do that with twrp recovery?
put the zip on your sdcard, enter recovery and choose the option to install a custom update.
I have juz updated to 5.0.2 and i want to root it. Is it possible and if so, how without losing my lollipop version(eg. Downgrading to kitkat)?

Just flash latest SuperSU.zip in twrp.
You can downgrade to kitkat by restore twrp KitKat backup or RUU.

Since i want to stay at lollipop, do i just flash the 2.8.6.0 twrp in this Q&A forum? Also, do i nid S-Off? Becauz my main reason to root is to install xposed framework and tweaking the cpu.

Yes and no need to s-off. While in S-On, you can't flash something like firmware. Read more here.
For install xposed on lollipop, you need to use files in this thread instead. Using normal version won't work and may get into boot loop.

One final qn, if after rooting and unlocking and theres an ota stock android update, do i juz remove xposed framework and it will update or do i nid to change back to stock recovery? Or maybe can you advice me on what to do?

Back to stock recovery and then you can update an ota. If you change some file in system partition (like platform.xml I don't know which file is caused), you can't update an ota. You need to back to stock system partition by flash RUU or stock file.
