So I updated my HTC One to Kit Kat about a week ago thinking that it would make some improvement to my user experience, but so far I don't like it. Things seem a bit glitchy now when they weren't before, especially with things like the GUI. I also don't like some of the changes they made, such as how texts show up on the lockscreen now and the grey battery indicator...and I don't really care much for some of the minor new features.
So I was wondering whether it's at all possible to "reverse" the update to the version just before they released and pushed out the Kit Kat update... I realize that I'll probably have to re-flash the stock rom in order to do so, but I'm willing to do it if at all possible. The phone is completely stock, no root and no modifications whatsoever.
If you root, s-off, and flash an aftermarket recovery you can flash the stock Rom. If you're going to go thru all the trouble to do this I personally would NOT run an ota to become stock again. You can achieve that by flashing a Rom and be 80% or more stock. To get back fully stock you need to find the original ota and run it after doing the other things I listed above. Search here and you'll find out how to do all of these steps.

Thanks for your reply but these steps require you to be s-off and temp root,I have a completely stock 4.4.2 rom with locked bootloader and hboot 1.56.0000.Now I need to temp root,s-off so I can downgrade the rom to an unlockable rom(sim unlock).
I understand it's possible to sim unlock the sprint htc one.
Question is,how can I gain temp root and s-off so I can downgrade to 4.3 and sim unlock the phone,thnx.

There has only been 1 exploit in recent years that did not require your bootloader to be unlocked beforehand...so your "proper root exploit" most likely won't happen.

I take no credit for this, but I tried this out and was able to achieve temp-root.
Just though I'd post it till someone is able to figure out perm root. All thanks should go to Revolutionary
Hello!
We would like to announce the public availability of the root exploit we use in Revolutionary, named zergRush.
This local root exploit should be Android-wide, across Froyo (2.2) and Gingerbread (2.3). However, this will not work on Android Honeycomb and up (3.0+).
Simultaneously, we're also releasing source code for this root exploit through our github.
The binary is available from here: zergRush binary.
The exploit source is available here: Revolutionary GitHub.
Usage:
You will need adb shell to execute this exploit. We need shell permissions.
Push the binary onto /data/local/ and execute these commands in a shell:
Code:
$ chmod 755 /data/local/zergRush
$ /data/local/zergRush
The resulting output should look something like this:
Code:

Welp, with temp root, you can kill bloatware now.
I can't wait to pick one of these bad boys up, I've wanted an HTC phone for the longest time, and with LTE, it makes it that much more desirable.

Get one of the bloatware freezers from the Market after you have temproot and SU put on the phone than you can freeze the bloatware rather than out right removing them.. The Reason to freeze them first is in case they cause FC's for some unknown reason you can unfreeze them or just reboot the phone. I mean once we have full root and all that stuff and can backup the Stock OS than removing the Apps should be no issue as you can just restore your backup but until then I would suggest doing the Freeze method. I hope HTC Left the bootloader unlocked, that would be nice for a change. Although knowing AT&T they probably made them Lock it. Also awesome to see that we already got our own spot for our awesome device phone. Looking forward to some good Roms.

If nobody gets around to it before I get my phone in the mail, I'll see if I can put one together. A step-by-step would probably help a lot of people. The rooting method seems a lot like what I used on my Incredible S (actually, easier, since the IncS had a locked bootloader that couldn't be unlocked at htcdev.com!). Unfortunately, I ordered mine online so I could get the discount and get the white version, so I have to wait for them to ship it to me.
I tried to unlock my Vivid at the htcdev site and unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. Maybe we'll have to wait a bit until it's supported.

Not sure if others have tried, but I'm getting the dreaded CID not allowed (basically means carrier not allowing it) error...might just have to wait for someone to figure out the exploit to get it unlocked for perm-root
Either that or wait for HTC to come out for an actual Unlock for the device.
CID locked
Same for me. Oh, well.
Standing by...
I can't seem do get it to work, I must be doing something wrong.
I get through all the steps, get the root shell (#), and the ID comes back as 0 (root). That's all good.
I then install Superuser in the Market, but none of the apps I try to use can seem to get root access. They can't find an SU binary. Why would superuser install and run but there be no su binary? Any ideas on what to do?
Can you root the One without installing a custom recovery? I want to root my buddies phone, but I don't want to put a custom recovery on because I want him to be able to take OTA updates. I know this is possible on some Samsung phones, but I'm not sure it can be done on HTC phones?
You can s-off and after it gets root and you have s-off, (after you run revone -s 0) then:
Code:
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 04755 /system/xbin/su
Then you just simply install the SuperUser app from the playstore.
Root simply means that you have access to superuser privileges, aka, power to change anything in the "root".
It had nothing to do with custom recovery, although it is common to see both together.
This is also possible on practically any phone, it's not brand-specific.
Note that there are easier ways for people to take OTAs though. As it can fail even if you still have stock recovery installed.
Someone usually posts the stock rooted update within a day or two of its release, and that's the easiest way of updating IMO. Taking the OTA while rooted will either fail, flash and remove root, or just flash normally.

Thanks. I just want to clarify because I'm tired this morning, su is the same as SuperUser or SuperSU? Or is it a different apk?

Could anyone be more specific as to the steps necessary? Sorry, I am a bit of a noob. I already have S-OFF with revone.

Hi,
So I got a HTC One today, and I'm lovin it so far!
However, I want to have 4.2 ROM on my HTC One, but it's Three (3) Carrier branded!
I bought a code so I could use my own SIM from Tele2....However, when I boot op my HTC, I still get the Three Carrier Bootanimation.
But what I think is the worst, I can't get the 4.2 ROM on my HTC!
Is there any possibility that I can magicly get the official 4.2 ROM on my Three branded HTC One?
Do I need to unlock the bootloader or something?
PLEASE HELP!:crying:

First i suggest you get S-Off with revone.
adb shell ; cd /data/local/tmp ; ./revone -s 0 -t
Reboot in bootlader mode: adb reboot bootloader, then you type fastboot oem writecid 11111111
Now you can flash anu RUU or rom you want
Then copy superSU zip to the phone and flash in recovery http://download.chainfire.eu/339/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41.zip.
Then make a backup in CWM recovery before you flash any custom rom.

I`am running that one too, an excellent rom which is fast and stable.
I urge you to get S-Off, you`ll regret it later if you don`t do it now on Hboot 1.44.000. You cannot downgrade the bootloader so you cannot install a RUU later if you should have to turn it in for repair.

Use any operating system you like, you only need adb.
1. Download revone (above) and push it to your device: adb push revone /data/local/tmp/
2. Open an adb shell and:
* cd /data/local/tmp
* chmod 755 revone-0.2.1
3. (optional) If your device is unlocked and rooted please switch to root using su.
4. Prepare to gain S-OFF by running the command: ./revone -P
4a. If revone reports success reboot the device and proceed to step 5)
4b. If revone reboots the device (we'll pretend this isn't an undiagnosed random crash) please wait 2 minutes then try again from step 2.
4c. If revone reports that you need to reboot and try again please reboot and try again from step 2.
5. Now that revone has successfully prepared your device for S-OFF please open another adb shell (as per step 2) and change to
the /data/local/tmp directory.
6. Instruct revone to grant you S-OFF and unlock status by running the command: ./revone-0.2.1 -s 0 -t
6a. Other optional command arguments:-
* -u - Unlock the device
* -l - Lock the device (as if it was never unlocked)
* -r - Relock the device (mark the device as relocked)
* -t - Reset the device's tamper flag.
7. Presuming revone reported success please reboot the device again, this time to the bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)
8. You should now observe your device is S-OFF (and the lock status changed if you invoked that option).
9. (optional) Re-run revone to remove TAMPERED from your HBOOT screen: ./revone -t
Type the red text in cmd.

You have no root sign which is # instead of $.
Do You have adb installed correct, is you serialnumber visible if you type adb devices.
Command: cd /data/local/tmp , don`t forget the space after cd.
Is usb debugging enabled in developer options on the phone?
Do you have fastboot in settings/energy disabled?

Make sure your on a rooted rom, then run it. I would also make sure your run revone as su when you start your adb shell

So it took me many times to get this to work correctly. Mostly because I was not reading the doc carefully enough. I was trying to run "revone -s 0" right away and was missing the "revone -P" step first. What I found was that it appears that if you run any revone command and it fails, your best bet is to reboot the phone to try again. I was able to finally get "revone -P" to work but only after rebooting the phone and running that as the first command. Note that I did not use su or anything else, I just ran "revone -P" in the adb shell. I was on a T-Mobile One which I successfully converted to GE. Hope this helps.
Code:
$ adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ cd /data/local/tmp
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp $ ./revone -P
revone v0.2.1
Gaining root access (thanks to Dan's motochopper)...Success.
revone successful - please reboot to continue.
First off, you can try this at your own risk. I did it last night and it worked. I was on the at&t update version 1.26.502.15 which generated the same error code. INeFFeCTiVE gets all the credit on this one for getting me S-OFF after the update. Basic idea was to put a nandroid on your phone of 2 versions ago (1.26.502.10) and then lock the bootloader and run the RUU of the version just before the one that broke the exploits (1.26.502.12). Then I was able to run the All In One toolkit and obtain S-OFF. I am not sure the same will work for you, but that was my solution. I know the people with hboot 1.54 have to wait, but mine was still on 1.44 and I was getting that error code. Here is the link to the thread I followed. Again, all credit to INeFFeCTiVE.

If you are on T-Mobile, you may have accidentally applied an OTA which leaves your HBOOT at 1.44 but patches the exploit revone and moonshine use to set S-OFF.
Again, ONLY on T-Mobile, it is possible to be on HBOOT 1.44 with a patched version that will NOT allow revone or moonshine to work. Hopefully they update these tools to get around this patch. They probably will, it's likely a short matter of time.
(If you suspect you're in this situation, don't even try to apply moonshine unless you know how to restore a stock boot image. Moonshine will quit after 10 tries with an error without restoring your boot!! Moonshine *does* back up your original boot in the folder it was run from, though).
There's a previous thread like this. Error code -6 is a known bug and there is no known solutions to this.

Similar problem
I have done substantial searching on the question of overcoming revone failed error code -6 and have tried most of the troubleshooting steps (not all) without success.
However, a consistent trend I saw was the need to provide details about my specific situation, so I wanted to give that a shot before continuing to flail.
Below you'll find my Phone Details, Steps Taken, Steps Not Taken, and Known Potential Issues
Phone Details

Steps Taken
HTC One Toolkit (-6 occurs at 4. Prepare Revone)
CMD Entry via standard approach (adb shell, cd, chmod 755, etc.). This fails at ./revone -P
Attempted chown root: root revone (I'm writing that from memory, I apologize if its is slightly wrong)
Reverted from 4.3 to 4.2.2 via MaximusHD 11.0.0
Drivers updated via HTC One Toolkit
Yes, USB Debugging enabled, fast boot disabled
Removed HTC Sync from computer about 20 minutes ago I just discovered I'm now getting Device Not Found errors in CMD after removing Sync. I thought I'd licked this problem, but apparently my success was tied to HTC Sync. However, everything written already was when device was found.
Steps Not Yet Taken
Downgraded to 1.24.*.10 and then upgraded to 1.24.*.12 - I'm not entirely clear how to do this.
Attempted Rumrunner despite being 1.44 - I read a post where someone had been successful despite their HBOOT, but haven't done it yet.
[Edit] Have downloaded M7 TWRP Nandroid Backup CID CWS__001 1.26.502.10.zip but not yet flashed. Assuming I even have that concept right, that you install this by flashing like I did the MaximusHD 11.0.0 ROM
Known Potential Issues
Some people have alluded that an OTA HBOOT release of T-Mobile contained an impenetrable block for revone
Others have said error code -6 is just a known bug. I'm assuming that would mean I'm **** outta luck?
In CMD, I've seen others with "[email protected]", but I was getting "[email protected]"
I attempted to run as su, but wasn't entirely clear on how to do that. I didn't get any error messages, so I'm assuming I did it correctly. I believe I performed it as "adb shell su" or perhaps I just did "su" after getting into the shell.

You have to let the program know where firewater is. If the file is located at the base of the C drive then it would look like this
adb wait-for-device push c:\firewater /data/local/tmp
Then you will see a message that it was pushed.

Did you get a "Whelp" message? If so, certain M8s cannot s-off with firewater. The issue seems to be random.
