Hey,I bought a HTC one v from a couple of days and I want to root it. I saw a post that said that you can't do it on all HTC one v versions or carriers or in which country it was made,and it will get bricked. So could someone please help me find a way to root it safely because I don't wanna end up with a bricked phone

PrimoU is the codename for the ONE V
PrimoC is the codename for the US version of the One V
Sorry for asking you every 2 minutes a question but lots of people commented that it didn't work for them and there are lots of things I didn't understand like uur and hboot and fastboot and flashing and lots of other things because I'm new to android and I'm scared to do something wrong and brick my device so could you please help me because I'm really want to root my device but feared of bricking it and doing something wrong

search for the software version at the OS, settings -> phone setting -> software
Given your data (Lebanon) it will be Primo U, but better to be sure.
Sorry, at settings->about->software information. There is the software number which is needed
Sorry, but I will ask, if you are new to android why root? It is not really needed if you just use the phone like average.

The software is for the WWE Asia Primo U so you can go according to the link Lloir gave you.
First a registration at htc-dev, and then there will be steb-by-step walktrough to unlock the bootloader. If you have unlocked it (all data will be erased) then it could be rooted, or you can go easy and use the One V all-in one tool which can remove some work from your soulders, but I don't really think that it will be wise at a beginner level to attain the root.
Also if you watched carefully if you unlock the bootloader (which is needed for root) you have voided your warranty.

Then you must have used adb, so you are accustomed to command line. In HTC because of some limitations for the users, fastboot is needed to flash things, if you have acchieved the unlocked BL.
For root you only need to do basic things with the all-in-one tool, and you will have cwm to install the supersu. it is not that hard.
I told you I'm not a beginner I was just saying that but the things I don't know are flashing roms but the I know the bootloader unlocking process

if you have unlocked and has cwm you are on the go. You can (not must) flash any custom rom that is available. Only difference in htc is that first you go into bootloader, then from there to recovery, not to recovery first. fastboot is basicly a tiny app, that is capable to flash the primo's memory directly with command line syntax when is fastboot mode (you can call it flash mode basicly).
Ok I got you I conclude that the things I should do are
1 unlock the bootloader
2 flash cmw Rom
3 install superuser
Only???
Or is there anything else?

3 install superuser-> via the newly flashed recovery
Only???

That is all needed for the root.

Nice apps?
Dude, few posts ahead you've told Lloir that you need some help on rooting because you don't know what's a bootloader. After that you've told everyone that you know what a bootloader is and you are not new to android, rooting or any other specifical part of this process.
Now after you rooted your device, you ask "what are the nice apps that I can download??" ?
Are you serious?!
Get your act together.
Yeah so what I don't mean the basic apps I mean other apps that allow you to take more controll of your phone

Um do you want to keep S-OFF or do you want S-ON? And do you want to root it or do a completely unroot?
Edit: you can root it with superoneclick if you already S-OFF.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
go to boot loader and find out if it is s-off or not. depending on what you find, and what unlock method you used, go to that unlock thread, and relock it again.
I used ahhk and yes it is s off I want to s on

I'm seeing a large number of "please help" me threads by you. This shows me that you don't take the time needed to fully understand what it is you are doing. XDA is not a help site, it's a developer's site, and thus, requires some level of understanding. Please refrain fron creating help threads everytime you get stuck.
Before attempting ANY modding, flashing, or hacking, make sure you have done the necessary research.

So I probably made some enormous stupid mistake.
Have rooted unbranded hox that didnt install ota (returned to clockwork recovery) and used this instead:

Wont come back to recovery with volume down either.

Make sure that you have v5.8.4.0 cwm recovery.
In recovery go to mounts and storage, then mount usb storage and connect usb cable to computer.

If it is all stock and you do not want to root or install custom recovery/ROM then your recourse is to contact HTC for advice/repair.
There is little to nothing that YOU as a user can do without custom recovery and ROM installation to correct flashing issues.

Okay this is strange... Connected my phone to my laptop in a last resort to see if it would make any connection, started it up again and left it to be. After a minute or 1 my laptop said it saw a MTP USB-device connected so my hope was up.
I let it do it's thing for a minute or 5 and it continued to the quietly brilliant screen! After that it started up like normal and i'm up and running again:laugh: .
Thanks for the support guys!
