Hello everyone. I have been using the information from xda developers since the att tilt came out to configure my phones, a lot has changed since then. I'm now using HTC one sprint version and have unlocked bootloader and installed supersu (superuser first but saw it was not for android 4.1+ so found supersu) and root checker says my device is not rooted. I looked over all the videos on YouTube but still cannot figure out what I did wrong. Can someone please help me? This is my first attempt to root by the way. Been at it for two days now.

you have to install a custom recovery(TWRP 2.6.3.0 or CWM) THEN FLASH SUPERSU through recovery. you can't just install in though the market.a zip file not an apk or image file

Thanks for the reply! That lets me know I posted correctly. So I did install custom recovery, clockworkmod and I did the unzip from sd option. The phone updates and I reboot but still not rooted. I will try again right now and write everything down.

Just tried again in clockwork recovery touch v6.0.3.3 I went to install zip, choose zip from sdcard, UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41/ which is the folder it's in. After that phone loads saying update UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41/ finding update package. Followed by opening update package and then installing update. It says mounting, disabling OTA survival, removing old files, creating space, extracting files, restoring files, setting permissions and ending with unmounting then done. Now my android version is 4.3 and I previously unzipped through recovery superuser no supersu but uninstalled it because superuser I had said only good for android 2.0-4.0 . My hboot is 1.55 and my phone says m7_wls pvt ship s-on rh if that helps. For some reason though Rom manager sees my device as m7spr, unsupported device in clockwork recovery option of that program. Sorry if I'm confusing you, just wanted to put everything that I can give at this time.

you may need to update the supersu to 1.80. i think you can find it in the forums here, i can't remember where its at also you may need to install TWRP 2.6.3.0, these recoveries are touchy here lately.
might look at big daddy's FAQ forum lot of help there.

thanks again for the help. I will flash with twrp, I like clockworkmod because I had it on my rooted evo I paid someone to root for me. I'll look for it and the supersu youbare referring to. Any special information or steps I need to do to change recoveries or updating to a new supersu? Like do I need to delete or wipe cache before going into fastboot ?

no you do not need to wipe anything, make sure your sdk tools are up to date, and flash recovery with adb.(fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img)
you should uninstall the superuser before installing a new one.
Same Problem, easy solution
I downloaded 1.80 update but TWRP told me that it was bad. Every time I downloaded the update (from my current 1.65) it didn't work. Finally, I clicked the link for the Play Store, installed SuperSU, it updated, and everything works again.

Just tried rooting the phone for the first time. Not too familiar with rooting. Only done a few phones before.
Unlocked boot loader on dev site. Installed TWRP just fine. Installing root package went fine, but I was unable to install busybox. It would either fail to install, or crash the phone and reboot. I found a root + busybox zip, flashed that, and then SuperSU said I wasn't rooted at all! Tried flashing the old SuperSU root package again, but I'm still not rooted anymore. Can someone give me a quick fix for this please?
Thanks.
Is there anyone that can give me some advice? It would be MUCH appreciated!
hi friend ..
i'm also new about rooting hTC (1st time).i'd like to help, but not good enough on explanation ..i root my hTC One on day 2nd bought it.Might some help from youtube and xda topics about unlock bootloader, s-off & rooting.
after u done unlock bootloader, just download twrp zip or cwm zip..extract it copy twrp file (img) on fastboot folder (on pc drive with fastboot files for unlock bootloader process).
right click img file to open as cmd.Then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" then press enter..if u see word just like okay u can go back to bootloader mode, select recovery if u see word on top of screen while htc booting mode that's mean u already done flashing recovery.wait just 2 second, twrp should appear..u should download superSU or super user early put on ur sd then u flash it use twrp..check ur root status use root checker or titanium backup.lastly u tap on superSU or super user icon to update binary (for this method i'm not sure u need to update or not) might somebody got any best answer..
sorry for bad english & too simple methods.

I want to start this off with that i really don't know anything about ROMs and flashing and stuff like that, so just hold that in mind. I am pretty sure that I have the international version of the HTC One since I live in Sweden.
Ok, so here is what happened: I rooted my phone bu using TWRP 2.6.3.3 and SuperSU 1.91. The reason i wanted to root my phone was to be able to use an app that you can only use if you have rooted your phone. When i rooted my phone and downloaded the app it said that i needed to uppdate my busybox so i downloaded a busybox installer from the appstore. When i tried to uppdate my busybox to the latest version it wouldnt work for some reason so i was going to re-root my phone with Superuser instead. However when I couldnt drag the Superuser folder into my sd card i started messing around in twerp recovery and being an idiot as i am i did a "Format data" in TWRP, when i did that obviusly everything got removed and now i don't have an os the only things i can do is booting into bootloader and TWRP otherwise my device is stuck on the HTC bootscreen. Also when i connect my phone to my computer nothing pops up so im guessing that my computer can't recognise it anymore.
I have using google but i couln't find anything. I will be monitoring this thread like a hawk so please help me.
Edit: Here is more information: I have S-on, it also says ***tampered*** and ***unlocked***
Edit2:If you need any more information for helping me please let me know and ill get it.
TL;DR: Rooted HTC One with SuperSU, Formatted data, no os, need help.

Don't panic mate, it's ok you didn't break anything.
Ok, so you can go into twrp. That's enough
All you have to do is installing a custom ROM and you will have your phone back.
Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023 to install Android revolution HD 51 (4.4.2 android)
Since you can't access the internal SD from your computer, you will have to Sideload it. Don't worry nothing so difficult:
Here is the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318497
So: -Download the file from the first link.
- sideload it into your TWRP
- install it from twrp

You are welcome! Last raccomandations, when you flash Android rev. remember to select the wipe option in Aroma installer.
Also at the end of the installation press on "wipe davilk cache"
If you encounter bootloop do a "fastboot erase cache".
Also, remember that the first boot after flashing it takes long time (even 10 mins) and it's seems stuck on the htc logo but it's not
Good luck!
Hi all, just purchased an HTC one and rooted following some instructions via an xda video.
The phone is confirmed rooted s-on (via root checker) and has super su installed. Now the phone came only with some O2 hideous bootanimation and downanimation and I wanted to remove them. Installed root browser and deleted the .zip files from system/customise/resources and restarted to confirm. When turning off, the animation isnt there, but upon restart the animations return, together with the files deleted previously. Any ideas what can I do to leave these files permanently deleted?
thx

I use ElementalX, a lot of guys on here do, and flash it in recovery, twrp 2.6.3.3 its recommended, I know there is newer versions on that site ive linked below, but use 2.6.3.3 as its the most compatible.
TWRP 2.6.3.3. can be found here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
ElementalX here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249774
make sure you do a full back-up beore flashing anything, bootloader must be unlocked, and select the correct kernel as per your phone sense and rom version, found in settings, about phone.

A small note, I managed to go through the whole process with the latest TWRP and not on the 2.6.3.3...just a heads up for those who might have the same problem
All I wanted was to upgrade my Rooted M7 to the latest software upgrade, so long short story I flashed recovery to TWRP and my M7 got stuck on logo. I know that I should install a ROM, but I don't know which one I should download and how to install it. How can I fix that? FYI you are talking to a noob :crying:.

Are you able to access TWRP recovery?
If you can you can use my Nandroid backup here. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722641162
Extract the zip on your desktop. You should get a folder and a zip file.
Copy the folder to the TWRP Backups folder on your device using MTP in TWRP.
Location :- /TWRP/BACKUPS/XXXXXXXXXXX/.
Return to twrp home screen and select restore. Then select my backup. Once that's complete you should be good. Reboot from recovery. TWRP may ask if you want to root the device at this point but it's best to wait until after the updates are installed.
To install the ota you need to flash the Stock recovery back to the device. You will find it in the zip file that came with the backup.
Open the zip file on your pc and extract the recovery.img. Copy it to your fastboot folder and flash it like twrp
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Once that's done reboot the device and it should be ready to receive OTA updates. You will need to install 4 or 5 updates to bring your device to the latest. So just keep going untill no more are available. Once you've installed all the updates. Reflash TWRP and root the phone :good:

The uploaded file is fine. It's been downloaded and used many times. How are you downloading it? Through your browser or with a download manager?
Newer versions of TWRP recovery allow MTP connection while in twrp. This allows you to copy files to the device in recovery mode just like if you were doing it in Android. I have not used TWRP 3.0. myself so can't confirm it supports MTP. I'll check and get back to you :good:

Dear Danny,
Could you check the link for me or upload it to another site, because I checked the two links in Mozilla and Opera with download manager and without with VPN and without its always about 88 mb file
This is the link for TWRP 3.0:
https://dl.twrp.me/m7/twrp-3.0.0-0-m7.img.html
I see now the MTP Device yeah it just like you said. I can see a TWRP folder and a TWRPS File with no name inside the folder. So I'll add a new folder naming Backup and wait for your working link.
By the way, thanks for helping I appreciate your effort

No it's fine for the moment. But if you are going to use custom roms after the update you will want to change it to read/write :good:

Putting the folder in TWRP/BACKUPS/"In Here" will not work. So I did a backup to see where it goes. After it completed, the Backup saved in TWRP/BACKUPS/SH35********(Device Serial[1])/2016-02-19--11-28-11(Today's Date)/"In Here". Then I replaced this Backup Files with the Nandroid Backup Files.
[1] Device Serial can be found with ADB writing in the command prompt opened from the ADB folder location after connecting the device to the PC and enabling USB debugging "adb devices"
You succeeded -my bro- in restoring my M7 again to normal thank you very much :victory:, but still didn't reach my goal I'll continue now in progressing and will keep you in touch :good:
Updating Progress 1:
After I downloaded the latest OTA, I installed it. M7 rebooted then it went to the recovery that showed up with red triangle, pressed the three combinations Power + Volume Up + Volume Down I got the recovery menu, then I wiped cache partition and the red triangle went to I think green likely circle. Rebooted, tried again it starts to updating then after maybe about a quarter of the updating bar red triangle showed up again saying installation aborted. Rebooted, then tried again -here is my problem from long time- OTA was deleted after I went to check for updates now I'm downloading again and will try one more time. I need your help my brother @Danny201281
Updating Progress 2:
Same. Installation aborted after almost half-quarter of the updating bar then red triangle again. Help is appreciated.
I think I know the solution now, but first the error is same like this except the Package:
Code:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
L50QCT.01.102.008
Package expects build fingerprint of htc/vodafone_uk/m7:4.4.3/KTU84L/366813.9:user/release-keys

this device has htc/vodafone_uk/m7:4.4.3/KTU84L/366813.5:user/release-keys.
Installation aborted.

The one had this error fixed it and said that he installed the wrong recovery
As you can see that your link OS is 6.09.401.11 but the link you provided OS is 6.09.401.12 maybe thats why the recovery is different from each other. What do you say

Normally such a small difference shouldn't cause a problem but let's try the correct recovery I found a firmware zip download link below ?
Download this firmware zip. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952612395
Extract it on your pc and use the recovery from it. It will then match your Rom

FINALLY I UPDATED MY M7 :victory:!!
I made a great progress. I opened the OTA that I had from the start -its the same as the latest OTA I was downloading- and opened the firmware.zip and extracted the recovery.img from it, flashed, downloaded OTA again from device, installed it, and succeeded in upgrading to the latest OTA. I recommend for anyone have this problem too to download the latest OTA from device, copy it to desktop, extract recovery.img from firmware.zip inside the OTA, flash, then install update and it will work PERFECTLY :good:
I don't know how to thank you my brother you are GREAAAT :fingers-crossed:. Thank you very very much. All credits goes to @Danny201281 for fixing my device.
If you may could I use more of your services?
If I can how can I install ROMs and how can I S-OFF M7?

Yes you can now flash custom lollipop roms, the process is fairly simple. Choose the Rom you want. Download it and copy it to your devices storage. Reboot TWRP recovery and install the Rom.
To gain s-off your only option is Sunshine app. It's not free to use unfortunately but its very simple and effective.
All other methods have either been patched against by HTC or discontinued by there developers. Rumrunner still works but only for devices with hboot 155 or below. ?

Hey everyone,
So I am in quite the pickle here and need some help from experts. Seeing as how my google searches were leading more and more to this site, I figured the time had come to create an account and ask my specific issue question:
So here's the situation I'm currently in:
• My phone is bricked. Yes I have no backup (my first shooting of myself in the foot), and a pretty clear SD card (no OS so I cannot boot it. It gets stuck at the startup screen)
• I have the bootloader unlocked
• I have S-ON
• I do not have SU installed
• I have TWRP 3.0.2-0 installed
What I'm looking to do is stock reset my phone so I can just get it back to par. SO like any normal human being I go to google and enter "Stock reset HTC ONE M9" and find all kinds of videos and threads about how to do so. Unfortunately, most thread and videos assume that you have S-OFF and/or SU installed.
So here is my struggle now:
• I want to install SU so I can do things like lock the bootloader and flash a stock ROM to get my phone back to factory stock.
• However, It seems that I cannot install SU because I need an operating system to do so? (Not sure on that part) Reason being, using my current version of TWRP (3.0.2-0) I have tried to install SU versions 1.25, 2.75, 2.76, etc. etc. However, when I install them using TWRP it reboots about 100 times and then gets stuck on the startup screen. Then when I try to use ADB SHELL and enter the "su" command, I find out that SU is not found or in other words not installed.
So I'm not sure if I'm totally screwed and have the chicken and the egg problem where I can't install SU without an OS and I can't install an OS without unlocking the boot loader first which I need SU for)
If there is a way to flash a stock ROM in my current condition that is the answer I'm looking for. I just want to factory reset my phone.
Any thoughts, suggestions, or link are greatly appreciated. At this point I'm desperate to not buy an new phone. Throw your crazy methods of solving this problem my way please!
Also please note that I am still learning the ins and outs of things like the bootloader, RUU, ROM, Recovery so any definitions or helpful comments you provide about what something is and what it is meant to do is greatly appreciated for I am still learning.
Thanks.
hey man supersu only works with a system in place... soff or on doesnt give a crap about a system restore...but since you have twrp recovery , just download a ruu zip or a custom rom for the m9 flash it using twrp and have su installed then

Awesome good to know! So I'm downloading a stock RUU zip.
But when I try to flash it though TWRP I get an error saying:
"Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid arguments)"
"Could not find 'META-INF/com/gogle/android/update-binary' in the zip file."
"Error installing zip file '/sdcard/M9_3.38.502.12_FullStock.zip'"
Can you lend me some information on what this means?
EDIT
I also tried to fastboot flash zip ROM.zip and get "RU_SECURITY_FAIL zip from usb command in download mode" which I think I need S-OFF for.
Great Unbrick and SU install guide
Finally fixed it. Found a great guide for both an unbrick and su install all-in-one.
(I'd post a link but I can't post links since I'm too new.)
I found it on teamandroid and the title was "Update HTC One (M9) to Android 6.0.1 Stock Rooted Marshmallow Custom ROM"
