All,
After I rooted my HTC One Dev Edition, installed TWRP, I have a couple of issues:
1) I tried to update the Superuser binaries, and it ask if I want to update to normal or recovery. I chose in recovery, it rebooted into recovery and rebooted again back to normal without me touching. How do I know if the binaries have been updated. Can I try to manually update the binaries?
2) After every reboot from recovery, I get an exclamation mark saying an error during reboot, send to HTC? Is this normal?
Thanks for any help!
1) Flash the zip from recovery manually
2) No...
I have an htc One running on the Reliance Network. Versions 4.1.2 / 1.29.651.10
It is Bootloader Unlocked with TWRP 2.6.0.1 and root
I have downloaded the mouthful OTA_M7_WL_JB_50_SPCS_Sprint_WWE_1.31.651.2-1.29.651.10_release_326731tcfazf1gnytc7g74.zipOTA_M7_WL_JB_50_SPCS_Sprint_WWE_1.31.651.2
-1.29.651.10_release_326731
When I try to flash it using TWRP it bombs out as there is no MD5 file.
I have two queries:
1. How do I update the TWRP to 2.6.3.0?
2. How do I install the update.
I prefer to use the fastboot method?
I have downloaded the update to my PC since aborting deletes the file. Also, I have the TWRP on my PC.
Please advise and help.

You cannot upgrade when your phone is rooted(i got to know from hetaldp)
I upgraded to JB 4.3, it awesome. Touch is Excellent. i too use relaince. there are no issues.
BUT remember you cannot root again, as over i am facing problems,,,
check : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494594
So Please kindly wait, till the root for hTC ONE for upgraded JB 4.3 one Comes...
Are you using Sprint or T-Moile or Version HTC ONE?
To get upgrade installed, please un-root, relock, and then you can perform the update...

It is Sprint, and from Hetal. Unrooting and relocking can be a pain, reloading everything. However, for almost two years I did not do any work on the Android side, so have forgotten everything.
I do not mind a locked phone it I can get to 4.3
Can you please pm me with the unrooting, relocking and the 4.3! Root for 4.3 is inevitable - just a matter of time.
Following the GooManager route I managed to get TWRP 2.6.3.0 installed, except the phone did not reboot. I did check it is 2.6.3.0.
Now the problem of the OTA remains. Maybe I will be forced to follow pm.mohanani's route of relocking. I cannot understand if I relock the bootloader then is not the unrooting automatic!
Also, Mr Mohanani GooManager requires root, so do not bother.
Managed to upgrade to 4.3 using Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_3_04_651_2_RUU from Android Central as suggested by Hetal. I had to do a <fastbook oem lock> first. No problems except it wiped the data totally. Working fine. I have a few points / questions
1. Booting into Recovery is showing the Red Exclamation in a Triangle. Obviously not working, as in rooted!!
2. The Boot into recovery is showing both [RELOCKED] and S-off.
- Is this the cause?
- As per Hetal S-off means that I can root straight away irrespective of the Relocked status
- I guess OTA to KitKat (when it comes) is also a no go.
- What recovery is suggested TWRP 2.6.3, CWM (version?), or some other. This means that 4.4 will again be a full reload.
- Any fixes?

There is no need to accept the OTA if you are s-off

Thanks. So I will again wait for the 4.4 RUU to be available on XDA or somewhere, and then install and forget OTA.
The point is recovery. I presume with S-off custom recovery must to be installed.
Do I install TWRP which takes care of root or do you suggest some other route, ie, root (how?) > recovery.

Install TWRP 2.6.3.0
Option 1 flash SuperSU or another superuser file and run stock rooted
Option 2 flash a custom rom
Still stuck. I downloaded GooManager, and it will go into download > nowstarting and hang forever. I was advised to go the adb fastboot way, i.e.
download latestTWRP image filethen
adb reboot bootloader
then when I get
ui fstboot
fastboot flash recovery <twrp-recovery-name.img>
and its done.
I downloaded the .img file. Put everything into c:\recovery. Moved there under the command prompt. Plugged the phone into the computer, got both the drives (htc sync manager, and HTCONE) . So the connection was kosher.
Then gave adb reboot bootloader
The adb daemon started, but it found no device.
Obviously I being a noob in this game was missing something.
Also, I hear that the ROMs are available which to not reformat the storage. Are these the Deodexed versions or something.
Also, once in ten calls or so the screen goes totally blank at the end and is pain to restart the phone.
Checked up with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497712
Seems that I am S-off but no rooted! Now what??
After a day or so and some cool thought I think I may have the problem identified. It is likely to be the lack of a root. I tried the following and the responses there from:
adb reboot bootloader
rebooted into bootloader Showing relocked and S-off. No fastboot option in the lower menu!
Now:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img
I get
sending recovery <8600kB>...
Okay [ 1.140s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED <remote not allowed>
finished. total time 1.170s
Any ideas, and when may I expect root for 4.3. At the moment the phone appears to be working file, but no recovery!! HELP!!
Do I need to unlock again despite S-off. Also, then what is the bitstream I send it from 4.3 - the same as the old one!!
Yes you need to unlock your bootloader again to be able to flash twrp
I did as per the htc route - Do the unlock, reinstalled the OS, download the bitstream, etc, and then the OS reloaded. Still Goomanager could not get TWRP 2.6.3.0 so used the fastboot route and succeeded in downloading it to the phone. Thanks for encouraging me and putting me on the right track.
Now ho to root. Then I may as well get Titanium up!
You can get SuperSU or Superuser from the playstore or install a custom rom.
A very interesting experience. I could not enter bootloader [Down-vol + power was just restarting the phone], even adb devices was drawing a blank. So I decided to do a factory reset from phone. Lo and behold it dropped me into the TWRP screen. I managed to root, restarted to the main Downloaded su checker which completed the root. Confirmed. Then downloaded Titanium with Pro license (I have it) and did a recovery. Also, TWRP Manager (downloaded) is working and I am able to start into bootloader, etc.
When I try and look for upgrades with TWRP installer it says none. I know 2.6.3.0 has been upgraded to 2.6.3.2 Let sleeping dogs lie.
Also, I have not checked with adb devices but I am sure that too will now work.
Thanks, but what is going on. Is it only God and maybe Google know what happened?
Thanks for helping, and keeping me going.
I had more or less decided to revert to 4.1 and do an S-on <fastboot oem writesecureflag 3> and bootloader lock and look for OTA!

adb still not recognising the beast. adb devices gets a blank list. Phone is available under Windows so drivers etc are Ok.
A noob question. I saw
Stock Rooted 3.04.651.2 Odex & De-Odexed
Insecure Boot img. init.d support, data/app support
Stock Rooted 3.04.651.2 Odex
Stock Rooted 3.04.651.2 De-Odexed
on the upgrade thread. Now what do the terms Rootedm Odex and De-Odexed mean to the average user. Stock means the basic htc ROM I presume.
Also, rooted means what stages are covered.
afaik to upgrade you lock the bootloader, do the upgrade, and then in normal situations again unlock the bootloader, root and install a custom recovery (TWRP does the rooting - hopefully).
Do these ROMs take care of some or more of these stages?
Hello everyone on XDA,
Ive try rooting my HTCONE on Sprint. S-OFF ,did flash ClockworkMod latest .img than i flash SuperSU.130. i was already on 4.3 android .. everything went well but when i open my SuperSU an error pop up "there is no binaries installed, su cannot installed it, there is problem to it". i did some further research, it seeem i flash an outdated SuperSU. aftewards i downloaded the latest SuperSU 1.65. Try to flash it in recovery, for some reason it aborted the command. than ive try a earlier release supersu1.43 . Same problem it will abort the command. than i switch to TWRP latest image . try doing the same and it still fails. ive also try -viperboys- method it did the same thing it aborted the command of flashing any type of zip files.
im stuck can proceed further . what can i do so i could get fully rooted.
I have been using ecliptic JB rom for a long time. I installed SuperSU , thinking it was a better option than Super user. When I installed it said it needed to update the binary code, which I have seen before, so I let it do it in recovery. I have Phil's recovery. And now it's stuck in a boot loop trying to update binary. I can get into boot loader but when I try to get into recovery mode it just tries to update the binary and won't let me flash anything. I am still S-on, I never looked into going S-off. Can anyone help? Thank you.
Can you not enter fastboot and reflash your recovery?
Or, you might have a zip in the open recovery script folder it's trying to run (likely the supersu.zip)?
I can get into fastboot but when I try to open up recovery to try to flash a backup or a rom it shows the funky android trying to update the binary and goes back into boot loop.
Sounds like you need to flash PhilZ again. One of the roms I flashed erased my recovery for some reason, and the way I found out was same as you trying to update the Su binaries. I re-flashed my recovery and it was fine.
Also if you want help getting S-OFF PM me I'll be happy to help
I can't root my I9305. It goes well in the Odin but then when i try to flash the root package via recovery it's not working. I try to get to the recovery and instead of CWM recovery which i flashed it shows the stock recovery (the android with red ! ). Then when i try to flash the root package it shows some error and reboots to the system. Now i don't have root and don't know what to do now. Can anyone help?
Oh, and I've got the latest 4.3 update, not sure if it's important
