Hello, XDA HTC One S owners
I have searched high and low and a variety of different forums but can not find a "root" method for the above subjects firmware. Is there not a method yet for it?
When I received my One S I upgraded the phone not thinking that there possibly wasn't a "root" for the newest version. I tried using the One X "one click root" but to no avail. I do not wish to unlock the bootloader just "root" it so I can still receive OTA's and delete TMOS US bloatware.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

There is no root without unlocking bootloader.

You will no longer receive any OTA regardless of the root method. OTA installers look for many things including making sure that "bloat" is installed. You're gonna have to use htcdev to unlock the bootloader.
I'm looking for advice on a phone to get to root. I'm new to rooting but I'd like to run xposed framework and learn more about it.
I've seen Motorola's website offering a way to unlock bootloaders for certain phones for developers. Would that be a good route to take? Does that allow me to easily root the phone?
Are there other, better options?
Thanks for all the help!

Unlock your bootloader and install twrp recovery, than flash superSU and or Xposed framework
This topic can be a databank to all the rootable phones in the market. Brand, Model, Link to rooting guide.
hi guys,
is there a complete guide to root? is it possible to root without unlocking the bootloader?
tnx
I have no idea- sorry! But I haven't felt the need to root for this phone. It's plenty quick for me, and with the camera mood, it's perfect
Are there any good ROMs out? I haven't looked....

I don't know, I need the root just to install adaway and titanium
Root needs bootloader unlock.
I used to root al my devices, galaxy 1,3,4,5,6, htc one x, m7/8/9, pixel 2, and now I own an oneplus 6, 8gb/120. My question is: is any advantage in rooting this device? Or will be the same but with custom kernel/recovery/rom? Thanks guys.

I was the same as you. Rooted my nexus's etc. But apart from doing specific things such as installing google apps on the oneplus rather than the Oxygen ones I cant see the point anymore. I think the slot a/b things has also taken the fun out of flashing roms. Used to be a piece of cake but now the slightest thing out of order and your gone.
Just my thoughts and only for me personally.
Depends on why you want root :s I want root to backup apps + data custom kernel and for ViPER4Android.
Also, the A/B slot thing isnt making flashing roms hard, you just have to remember that when flashing a ROM it will replace twrp, also it's important to have the firmware installed to the slot you want to use for your custom rom ?* but like I said, I could go without root aswell if it wasn't for viper and custom kernel.
Yeah just depends on how you want to interact with your phone. I like to root my device for adaway, so my free apps don't have those annoying popup ads. I'm looking at you mx player...
Thanks
Thanks to all who reply this. Im considering root my device, especially because one of u said something about adaway <3 I would love that! Thanks for ur help guys,.

To be honest, having Magisk on the phone isn't gonna take functionnality away ... It's just a nice thing to have when you need too, so the question is more :
Is there a reason not to root it ?

The fix is the same now as it was before. Backup your snapchat, restore it on the rooted device.
Or.. Just stop using it lol
Even if you get it working on a rooted device, you could end up getting banned.
Rooting really depends on how much time you have to waste.
fixing boot loops.
broken apps.
loss of services such as Google pay.
Broken camera functions.
Seems like every custom rom has issues.
My attitude pertains to the OnePlus devices now if you have a Samsung device then root that suckers to get rid of their crapware.

Hello,
I have been using my rooted N915 Verizon again now for a while. However it is rooted and almost all financial and banking apps dont work now on rooted mobiles.
I am looking for two solutions
1. If there is a Wanam Xposed module for this specific model . To install it with the RootCloak add on and hide root status from certain apps.
2. Get the unrooted stock ROM to bring it back to stock status. I dont mainly need root now.
Appreciate if you can you please inform and post links to the above two options.
Any guidance and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.
Oh well, so many views however no reply.
Looks like I must have asked for something really rare and difficult
