Hi... more and more of us are getting the S3 version of the One S yet no root is available.
May I request for an initiative to root this version of the One S? Perhaps we can discuss here what is required to root it, for example a copy of the boot.img or something... and how the people who created the root for the S4 One S can help in the S3 too?
I second this motion.
find out how to dump the boot.img from your current build, compare it to that of an s4 version (rooted of course) and see how you get on.
it could be something simple, however you will need the right tools to view the boot.img file.
maybe a linux / ubuntu user can join forces with you
theres no point waiting for someone else to do it, if everyone had that attitude it will never get done

I can do it... can someone just tell me how.. and also... dump me a boot.img... as mine is.. well.. gone, as i was one of those early test pigs that tried a s4 recovery and realized it failed.
I have an S3 with me now, Can you tell me how to dump boot.img from my phone?:fingers-crossed:

C:\RootTools>adb push busybox /data/local/busybox
failed to copy 'busybox' to '/data/local/busybox': Permission denied
if adb push is worked, we would have rooted the phone already.
I already dumped it from an S-off device.

We don't even have a working root for S4 ora 1.78.......

A little upside on the S3 version is it will probably have some cross compatibility with Sensation (XE) that uses the same chip. That may boost efforts for developing custom ROMs for it. E.g. CM team posted a screenshot of Android 4.1 running on a Sensation already.
Do you know how change S-ON to S-OFF? And change the CID
I tried to change the CID by updating the file /dev/block/mmcblk0p4, apparently it works with S4 but I think with S-OFF not S-ON.
Thanks
So now i can easily root my One S C2? to unlock the bootloader I just follow the steps in the sticky thread ''Root, unlock, instal recovery...'?
And last question, can I unroot my phone and lock the bootloader and so get the warrenty back?
Yes, to unlock it you can follow the sticky. To root you go to the modaco.com forum and follow the steps there (thread is something like 'testing: superboot ...') You can Togo
Relock the bootloader but you can't get warranty back because it says 'relocked' instead of 'locked' in the bootloader

Hi,
Take your time and read through the forums.
In the mean time ,look HERE
You can, then, have custom ROMS on your phone without s-off.
Read THIS
It will give you some idea about other stuff.

Im kind of new to this and was very confused and so am hoping someone here could give me or link me to a tutorial to do these things. If there is a similar post then i apologise for making another one.
Hope someone can help me :good::good:

Unlock your bootloader at htcdev.com. Then flash the twrp 2.6 and install the root if you want. You get a option to. Then if you want to s-off use the revone method or the rumrunner. I prefer the revone.

After you unlock bootloader, you can just google or search on the fourums on how to install twrp using cmd if you have windows.

Usually rooting does not relock your device. What android version your phone is on?

its on 4.3
Here an app that can root it simply but doesn't install busybox.
You can use this advanced method, more reliable but needs more work

Hey! I'm from Colombia and i just bought a Htc One M8, it's the Verizon variant and after read a lot of threads i'm even more confused. The question is, how can i root my phone? i'm actually on Marshmallow and i have S-Off. Do i need to pay Sunshine to get S-On to root my phone or it isn't necessary?
Thanks all or you for your help
