Rooting HTC one v

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?

1 unlock the bootloader ->correct.
2 flash cmw Rom -> recovery, not rom but correct
3 install superuser-> via the newly flashed recovery
Only???

That is all needed for the root.

I need to be a ***** on this one!
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

What I did was restored my original back up, then flashed stock recovery then relocked bootloader then ran the ruu and it wiped everything.
At a guess you'll need the 2.17 stock recovery, not sure where you'll find it unless its on the forum somewhere and the generic 2.17.401 ruu from the filefactory website.

i've relocked bootloader and it's rebooted into recovery what ruu should i use

Unrooted - Unlocked Bootloader - No custom ROM, and I still can't OTA update

Hey, I have an HTC one x and I relocked the bootloader, but every time I try to install an update it takes me to the bootloader plz help me out, btw I don't have a custom rom
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

If you already relocked your bootloader and cannot upgrade, then try with installng last RUU, corresponded to you CID number and then try to upgrade.
Maybe during the time you had unlocked device you uninstalled some of the preinstall apps, and now this doesn't allow you to upgrade.

Just checking you have gone back to stock recovery??

Umm no I haven't.. Trying to figure out how
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Find the correct file for your phone,
Use command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (recovery.img is replaced with the name of file you are using.)
Stock recovery back for ota.
Check out a few of the guides, will walk you through anything pretty much

Getting OTA

Sir i have htc one x (asia) rooted but i am on stock htc rom with kernal virsion of "3.1.10-g62b3f63
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT"
i dont think that i have changed and kernal but this is the kernal after i got root access.
I wanna get ota upeates as htc has started giving updates to one x +
So what should i do with my one x (rooted) for getting ota??

You need stock rom, stock kernel and stock recovery, all of witch you can get here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970
Make sure you get the ODEXED one or it won't work
If you are on stock rom then there is no need for that, only download boot.img and recovery from there
You can stay rooted, and you don't have to relock your bootloder or anything

Actually i have taken recovery using clockwork mode and i have all this boot.img file and recovery.img file
So when i came back on stock rom i recovered both of them
Just the difference between my one x and unrooted one x is that mine one is rooted and its having kernal which (i m thinking) is different...if u aware of that kernal then plz say me by seeing my kernal virsion which i have stated above...
So with that kernal and keeping root , am i able to get ota?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

the boot.img is the kernel, so if you go into your first nandroid backup from clockworkmod and find that boot.img and flash it via fastboot flash boot boot.img then you are on the stock kernel..

Ohhk thnx
Can u give any link from which i can get stock nandroid backup and its boot.img..
Is it okey of i get boot.img from somewhere and flash it on my current rom...?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

You can get it from the ARHD thread here on sda

1: Who says where that the OP has that actual software number 3.20.401.
Please enlighten me ???
2: your kernel cant change by giving the rom root acces
I dare to say that you only need to flash back the stock recovery.

I have taken recovery through clockwork mode after i unlocked my bootloader
And currently i m on it...now what to do??

So you restored the stock nandroid backup completely including flashing its boot.img ?
Give me the output of :
Fastboot getvar version-main
Then i will get you your stock recovery.

He has to flash the kexecboot.img through fastboot, I dont think there's anyway apart from maybe pushing the image via the Terminal Emulator, which just plainly not work because of the unlocked bootloader and no soff, you may have to get your usb port changed to a proper one if you want to transfer data.

Well if you can download the nandroid straight to your phone I guess that would work, though you still might have to flash a boot.img if your changing a Rom, wouldn't hurt to try though.
