Finally I got my device which looks awesome in its white color. But it was heating up usually.
Just a small question here, Any way to have the root access on the device with out voiding the warranty. I just don't need custom roms until s-off was released.
No offense please!
Thank you all!

There is currently no way to root it without using the htcdev method that would void some parts of your warranty. Well no sensible way... there is a method to do it but it would give all apps superuser access. Check out this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577671
But that does even need to unlock the bootloader, I think.
More over I read the superboot isn't working on shipping devices.
Should I root my phone? What are the advantages? This phone is already so fast.
If yes, which ROM is best so far?
1. Down to you
2. Remove bloat, debrand, latest versions, overclock, better battery life, custom mods and themes
3. there is no such thing as best rom, they are all good but for different reasons, best thing is try one, give it a week, try another till you find one you like.
Personaly im waiting for a a root without HTCDev, and 1st rom will be ARHD rom

Phone after root is more customizable... I recommend it but you need to know what you doing first... Research reaserch and more research before you start.
Which is the best?
Dunno...
But most updated... Stable and reliable is in my opinion ARHD... which I'm using at this moment.
PS. Battery last longer...

Yes, root also gives you access to other apps as well, some of which are extremely useful.
And as previously said, phone is more customizable, you won't be able to put it down.

Root voids warranty. Wait for s-off method. That's what am waiting for.

I rooted my phone 1 hour after getting it! if just for the adfree app
Running ARHD.
Hello guys, I was just wondering something...
We have root access through unlocking our bootloaders at htcdev.com , but if we actually do it, we will/can get in serious trouble due to it voiding the warranty. This is not that nice especially with so many faulty HOX's.
To get to the chase, my questions are simple.
Is it possible to get:
a) permanent root without unlocking the bootloader
b) temporary root without unlocking the bootloader
c) is anyone trying to achieve "a)"
d) is anyone trying to achieve "b)"
I remember an app for the Zte Blade (aka San Francisco) for instance, called z4root that would provide either temporary or permanent root access.
We would simply download it from the market, run it and afterwards root access was granted. Can something similar be done to our HOX's?
Regards
This might work:

I think that your warranty only begins to become an issue if you start flashing custom roms/kernels, but I could be wrong.
Will check it then. But doesn't this method need htcdev.com bootloader unlocking procedure?

From my chat with HTC technical support, you unlock it...puff... Software warranty is void and hardware will be analised to check if you damaged it by bad use.
I'm not taking the chance of a technician with a bad day denying me my warranty... A sensor for instance...

Hi,
I am thinking about rooting my one x because it doesn't have hardware or software faults and i don't think I need to send it for warranty. But just incase I will need to in future will I be able to relock it? without htc knowing it when s-off for one x is available.
Thanks

i dont think so
Might be possible, unless there's something on the phone how would HTC know that we've actually used the unlock code apart from it saying unlocked. There might be a way in the future to wipe these stats if there are any.
Like in the Samsung devices there a custom binary which shows how many times you've flashed you can reset this with a jig.
I'm sure we can revert back to original when we get S-OFF but it's whether any other information is recorded somewhere on the phone by using htcdev.
For what's its worth I couldn't wait and used htcdev.

I'd actually be curious myself if it records somewhere that you used the unlock on it. I'd kind of be surprised if it didn't actually. But you can definitely flash back a stock rom and relock it. Whether that'd work if you sent it in for warranty or not, I don't know. I'm sure someone has tried and can verify though.
I think when you sign up with HTCDev and get the unlock key for your device, you're accepting immediately that signing up alone may void your warranty, but they leave the wording loose so it's difficult to actually tell. It's a nice way out of the warranty for them if they don't want to fix something and you've signed up on HTCDev.
Ok thank you very much guys. Im going to root my phone because it doesn't look like s-off for one x is going to come out soon. What stuff do you guys have on rooted one x?ow

Charmeleon rom, Francos kernel as a start.
For root purposes I use:
AdAway to get rid of ads,
Root Explorer to delete system/app bloatware,
Titanium Backup Pro to backup data app very useful for switching roms,
Autostarts to stop applications from auto starting on boot,
Those are my main root applications along with Super User.
Charmeleon rom is excellent with its vast array of tweaks.

Hello everyone i am new to the htc one and i know about that temp root method released by justincase. However i recently became aware of TowelRoot, released by geohot. Which apparently is a new way of achieving permanent root for all unpatched roms, which includes the verizon htc one m7. However the device is system/write protected with S-on as i understand. So do i need to temproot, s=off using firewater, then use TowelRoot to permanently root my phone? OR am i just dreaming. Has anyone tried this process, the root exploit is new. Any advice would be greatly appreciated i do now want to brick my device. A link to the TowelRoot article.

Geohot is still around? Wow its been a while since I used his PS3 jailbreak tools.
(Sorry just had a bit of a nostalgia trip there)

this is awesome achievement I am not trying to knock it, but for m7, s-off is s-off why not use weaksauce to temp-root then use the known working firewater for the m7?
just for curiosity sake
Weaksauce no longer works on newest update. Towelroot won't work for us currently because our /system part is write protected. Jcase has informed geohot how to handle this and he will supposedly update his exploit. Should work for us and m8 if and when that happens.
You can find this info in the rumrunner thread in m7 og development btw.

Sweet hopefully he can update it to get us m7 lovers some root action, i love verizons network but the locked bootloaders really suck. It's like driving a Ferrari with bald tires. Powerful phone is basically no more useful than my old droid2, in fact its less useful because i can't even tether or block ads, unbloat ect ect.

Believe me, I know. I just picked up this phone used. They had already taken the newest update. It's the only phone I've never been able to root immediately. It is definitely a lesson in patience.
That being said, foxfi works on this phone without root for tethering and disabling apps at least keeps them from running and cleans up your app drawer.

Worked on mine
Towel root worked on my M7 S-off Unlocked. I was updated to the latest OTA and root worked.

It worked because you were already S-OFF. Those of us who just picked up the phone for whatever reason (warranty replacement, new device, etc) cannot obtain S-OFF currently because there is no root method for the newest update (firewater requires root). Once we have root, we can run firewater and obtain S-OFF. Vicious circle.

I don't understand the question.
This Forum is devoted to the Verizon model of the HTC One. When you just say m7, it might be for Verizon, or AT&T,or some other carrier. If the HTC One is meant to run on Verizon,. it is model m7vzw.
Towelroot Now works for M7
I don't know if anyone has tried this, but I have the latest update for the M7 and have been trying to gain root and S-off. If you download the latest version of towelroot then tap "welcome" 3 times, the mod strings comes up and if you change the last number from "0" to "1" then tap "Make it Rain", you can gain temporary root to the M7. Unfortunately, I still cannot find anything that gives S-off. Firewater, sunshine, rumrunner, none of them have worked. Has anyone got a working s-off exploit? Because even with towelroot, any change I make, like uninstalling bloatware, just gets undone when I reboot the phone.

BTW it is the VZW M7 that I have. It is 100% stock.
If it's actually gaining root then firewater should work.

I will try again tonight. I verified root and it is actually getting root access temporarily using the method i described. Maybe I am doing something wrong with firewater. Will post results tomorrow. Hopefully I will have some luck.
I also got the towelroot temp root confirmed and when I run firewater it enters root but then says "this kernel has an anti-firewater patch, get a new kernel" (not an exact quote) just got my HTC one last week with the new update, was so looking forward to getting a new ROM on this...

Yeah another thread said firewater will not be updated for the VZWm7 but sunshine will be and they're waiting for more devices to be supported before it's released.

They still make 25 bucks a root pop, this is almost encouraging them to update.

He said he won't release his ROOT until more devices need it, not an s-off. As far as I know, there are no s-offs waiting to be released.

Gotcha, maybe i was just hoping it was an s-off method, but even root will be greatly appreciated, I'm not patient enough for this!
