Temp Un-Root? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
Is there a temp unroot for the HTC one available?
Sky go doesn't let me use it on a rooted device. No idea why they are so picky about jailbroken or rooted devices, bit daft imo
Anyway yeah, any help would be great
Thanks

This appears to be a conundrum which many have tried to solve on supported (and un-supported) devices. I have searched high and low and have yet to find anybody with a working solution.

Yeah it's frustrating isn't it because it's so stupid that it won't allow it. Lets hope the geniuses on here work out a way to rectify it

I used OTA Rootkeeper on my Nexus 7 with Sky Go and it worked fine, esentially temp unroot, and then use 'Root Checker' to see if your phone is actually unrooted. Make sure you fully close the Sky Go app and then try, it works for me. I'll test on my One and post the results in a bit
Edit: Just tried it, didn't work I'm afraid, hopefully another solution will appear soon!

Try this, it's what I have to do to get time warner live tv to work.
Go into system/app and rename superuser to SuperSU.
Next, go into the build.prop and there should be something that says build tags. It should say under that, "release-keys". Delete the words release-keys, leaving that part blank. Reboot. Should work if it's the same root checks as time warner.

Does this remove the root at all or will it still function the same and just pass the check?

Should just pass the root check. Root still remains.

Ok so I used universal androot to root my phone, now what.every thing looks thee same.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
you need to read the stickies in every part of the hero forum and do some google searches and you will see what you need to do. after about two weeks of reading and lurking here you will have all the info you need to make your phone awesome.
heres a good first step for you though
flash a custom recovery, then flash a custom rom.

Rooting your phone wont change the way it looks... you just have root access, that gives you the ability to change any thing you want... like the way it looks.

Now you want it to look different ?
Now you get to decide how you want it to look and operate. Your going to be the one doing this so you got some more work ahead of you... so you best get at it.( You actually didn't think it would be magically different by just rooting it did you ? ) That my friend is just the first step of the actual process..Now...go look at all of the different custom roms built for it and all of the different custom themes available..then... once you have a good idea of what you would like on your phone..start reading all you can about the rom & theme of your choice.Start at the beginning of the threads and read everything there..all of the issues and all the problems folks may have had and how they got fixed. This will save you a-lot of grief once your actually ready to make the switch.
I have found there are plenty of good folks here that will help you once you make up your mind of what you want to do to your phone..
Good Luck...& Good Reading to ya

No. I don't think we need close the update access.
I'm giving this a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper&hl=en
Worked fine in the past with my HTC EVO. It says it will work with anything that runs ext4 (the kindle does).

It certainly may have changed, but this isn't how it worked with the original KF. When Amazon pushed OTAs they automatically updated the the os. There wasn't even a notification that they were sending the update. I remember watching my KF turn on all by itself and then reboot while wondering what the heck was going on.

Did Amazon push a covert Patch to restore Lockscreen Adds?

I actually had another OTA update out of nowhere. The version is still technically 7.2.1, but it went from 7.2.1_user_2030320 to 7.2.1_user_2040020.

I have not move/rename. I actually want the updates to see how they affect the system, as long as they don't fix the root exploit. The reason I was annoyed is because I didn't notice it was an update until about the third time I flashed a backup and looked closer. Now I can make a backup of that version. By the way check out the android development section, Hashcode has figured out a way to bypass the locked bootloader

I received the same update - first I was confused, why my root was gone while it still having the 7.2.1 on, because I couldn't remember what was written after user_*** I wondered what happend - but thanks to that post now I understand.
Next to the lost of root, Amazon (which don't like us playing) turned back the permissions on the dtcp_apk.apk what brought the adds on the lockscreen back. They probably just pushed a new version of this file.
Yes, I just downloaded root checker and confirm my root is gone as well. The good news is that Google play is still working. My problem is how they pushed that updated without requiring user approval. This looks like a violation of our privacy rights. I'm going to research this further.

Google Wallet for the HTC ONE.
-Easy fix for viper Rom
-Should work on stock rooted w/ wp . -removed Kernal
-Always save your original build.prop before modifying
Using Rom Toolbox
1. Open up build.prop editor
2. Change the following values
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
3. Save changes
4. Reboot device, install wallet and open
-wallet takes a couple minutes to initialize so be patient, it works great!
5. Restore your original build.prop
This method should work fine on stock rooted also as long as you have a kernal with /system wp removed.
Also, if you don't want Rom toolbox you can navigate to /system/build.prop and open the file in any text editor to make the changes.

Honestly I'm not sure where I got it. I believe that it came from Viperrom. Duce says that it wasn't added in d3rpONE (I noticed mine working while I was on d3rpONE, but I think something restored it from viperrom), and the only other ROM that I've run is Viper's.

ah i see. think you could send me the apk? seems like you probably restored your apps+system data from d3rp rom to viper, as im running viperrom too and not seeing any wallet app.
Here's the link for the working (non-modified) Wallet apk that I use, with screenshot showing it on my One.
https://www.4shared.com/download/NJgEOM_0/Wallet_16-R96-v16.apk
Just install the apk normally through a file explorer, no need to push with ADB, or do anything in recovery. I uninstalled mine and tested just to be sure.

I tried that, but when it starts up, it says that "Google Wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile network."
I'm on AT&T.
(I guess I'm in the wrong group? I had it running on my AT&T Nexus S just fine, but I really wanted to upgrade
Think rooting would help overcome the problem of being on AT&T? Not sure why it worked on my Nexus S, since it was on AT&T too... I may have bought it as an unlocked phone, originally...
Not sure if there's any difference in support between carriers. Sorry

Facebook home not available?

ive bought the unlocked european htc one (cid is htc__102) wich is still stock. now i am facing some weird problems.
i wanted to download facebook home via play. wasnt able to find it. looked it up over my pc -> not compatible with my one.
so i installed the facebook apk from xda (facebook home for all phones) and removed the facebook updates before i did (facebook was preinstalled and i couldnt remove it completely).
after that i tried to install facebook home but it always fails..
