My HTC One just came in and i'm switching from iPhone so i am currently very inexperienced on the android platform. If the rooting method is the same, I am set, but if it is different, i might need some additional help if possible

right now you'll just have to try.
fastboot oem unlock to unlock the bootloader
then push a custom recovery
then install supersu.zip just like we do now.
The only unknown is do custom recovery we have now work on the GE phone or do we need a new port

No, it's unlockable but ships locked
it's not simlocked.

I'm also coming from an iPhone and thus a beginner...would this suffice for simply unlocking the bootloader and rooting? I have no plans of flashing any ROMs yet. I mostly just want root access for Tasker and Titanium backup.
Thanks.

I don't know I've never used a toolkit in my life.
It's trivial as far as rooting most devices goes.
unlock the bootloader
flash custom recovery
flash supersu.zip

One last question. Would unlocking the bootloader/flashing the recovery and supersu.zip be the same on the Google Edition as on the stock HTC One?

I have a simple question.
I recently swapped my GS4 for a HTC One 64GB developer edition. I just like the freedom of custom rom etc. Anyway. I want to make sure the bootloader in unlocked. How do I go about that? Also assuming is unlocked I will nthen need to root before I can install a custom rom correct?
I know very noob questions!
Thank you
I use Hasoon's tool kit here for everything. Plug in and select reboot to bootloader and when it comes up on the phone it should say unlocked.

Awasome...Thank you I'll give it a try!
Ok...so my bootloader is unlocked....I can use the same tool to root? The tool has an option to perm root...is that it? Or do I install custom recovery first?

Hi
greetings,
First install custom recovery
now if you want to be on stock ROM then flash root.
and if you want to flash a custom rom directly flash the custom ROM as custom ROMs are pre rooted roms
and yes perm root is the option.
and using toolkit is a nice way but i would suggest you must try to do things manually. Toolkits are 100% safe but doing things manually increases our knowledge its my personal experience OR you may use toolkits but later at-least give time to read threads which explains things which have to be done manually will help you in future.
JUST MY 2CENTS OF CONSERN
I know I'm unlocked...but not rooted...so my question was if I use the same toolkit to root my phone
ok so i know there are issues rooting this phone lol. i am on 4.3. is there any way to root it. i want to flash vipers rom.

Yes you do need to unlock the bootloader, before you can flash a custom recovery. Rooting comes later. The rom is either rooted or not, you do not need one rom to be rooted to flash another.

Most custom roms are already rooted when you install, You will not loose the carrier unlock flashing roms.
I also notice you are on Sprint, be very carefull to use the right custom recovery and a compatible rom with that device.

Hi,
My device is currently S-Off. I don't have root anymore and I relocked my bootloader. I'd like to be able to remove the test device message but all the links I found requires to have root or to go back to S-On. I tried using HTC DEV to unlock my bootloader again to flash custom recovery and then to flash supersu.zip but it didn't unlock my bootloader. I also tried to just do a fastboot boot customrecovery.img and also didn't work. Any idea if with S-Off, bootloacker relocked, no root access, I can removed the HTC test device message?
thanks

Check out this thread on unlocking your bootloader without HTCDev. If you are able to do that, then you should be able to flash a custom recovery. You can use the Guru Bootloader Reset tool to remove the tampered sign and I think the test device will go away.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I was referring to but I can't run that since I don't have root access. If there could be a temporary way of getting root access with a locked bootloader and s-off, that could probably work to use what's being said in your link
1) Which is the best recovery? C-Mod or TWRP or any other, i mean i want that to support maximum number of stable roms and that is widely used by developers. Can you suggest me a link?
AND
2) For any rooting procedure you first have to S-Off, then unlock the bootloader, root, then install a recovery and flash a ROM..........right?
AND
3) How to be S-Off and rooted and have Locked as a message on the bootloader?

It's up to you. I personnaly prefer TWRP over CWM but there's also Philz custom CWM that his pretty good.

Have you tried Weak Sauce to get root? I thought about it after reading about firewater s-off. This is a temp-root.

if you're still looking for this, root access is available in custom recovery (so no need to mess with the ROM), and with s-off you can flashed a masked firmware using ruu mode:

Hello
Just purchased an M7 and looking to unlock, root the phone etc. I always used the Hasoon toolkit on my old One X+ but I see the thread here has been locked and downloads are not available.
Is there a toolkit that is similar for ease of use that is currently in use for the M7?
I will start to research as I see things have moved on with HTC since the One X days when getting the bootloader unlocked, htcdev codes and such.
Is it pretty much the same routine as the One X where I need to email HTCdev for a code, then get the bootloader unlocked?
Thank you kindy,

unlock bootloader from htcdev.com
flash twrp recovery 2.6.3.3
boot in recovery mode and exit, you'll be prompted to root the phone, select yes.
complete root with supersu installer now on your phone.
Thanks for that.
I remember it took days or even weeks to get the code from htcdev, is it still the same?

No, it is returned rather quickly.
Going to have a dumb moment, does unlocking the bootloader and rooting the phone also unlock the sim?

No, they are separate procedures and to my knowledge unlocking the sim has no effect on the bootloader and vice versa.

I'm not really clever enough using fastboot commands, are the one click toolkits pretty reliable for unlocking and flashing recovery/root?

I don't use the tool kits using adb and fastboot is pretty easy and you will have more control on what you are trying to accomplish. I would suggest the Minimal ADB & Fastboot Tool for installing the programs. There is a link to guides in the OP and most OPs for custom rom/recovery and root will explain which commands to use.
I'm interested in rooting my nexus 6. I know that you have to unlock the bootloader in order to root the phone and install a custom recovery. But after all of that is done is it ok for me to re-lock the bootloader for security reasons or will it have any issues?
Thanks in advance.

Yes. Very much so.
problem is.. you now have to enable oem unlocking, to unlock the bootloader. technically, you can still be rooted and lock your bootloader. but the problem is that some have gone back and relocked their bootloader(not with root i dont think so) only to find that they cant boot up, that they end up with a boot loop. and then they cant unlock their bootloaders to flash the factory.img, because you need to check that setting first, to unlock the bootloader. honestly, i think someone with root, and twrp, would be able to. if not, you can fix it by formatting a few things(if you have twrp).

If you have a custom recovery installed, then having a locked bootloader is no more secure than having an unlocked one...
