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?

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

I had this Rom, just flashed the lastest recovery in fastboot,. Try flashing this in fastboot
check if the forum where you downloaded the rom matches to your phone...at & t one x is not the same like european one x's, because of the chipsets.
That could probably be the reason for aborting...

Have you tried installing a simple mod, anything, to see if your system partition can get remounted with rw?
Another thing I would try is to install supersu if you're using superuser and vice versa, and update su binaries.

You need to flash the kernel separately using fastboot. HOX doesn't have s-off so the kernel isn't flashed in recovery.
Extract the boot.img from the rom zip and fastboot flash boot boot.img

Soo we all know about HTC's invention of leaving the "security" on or off. This basically means that we can't flash kernels using the recovery. Also, we can't flash another radio from anywhere else and also can't downgrade the hboot.
But why is this done? I have flashed several phones like Samsung galaxy y, etc and everyone can flash kernels in the recovery. So what's the whole motive/purpose of HTC behind all this? If we can flash kernels from the BL then why not straight from the recovery? Its not that we are doing anything illegal..

See there are

3.people with low internal memory and want to get rid of that notification....(people who see their friends phone rooted, but have no idea about it but want it)
see now I come under the first two mainly the second......
see the third type of people will see such a lengthy process and will avoid it so their phone will not get spoiled...I hope u understand

I understand u don't get it. If I want to unlock my phone via HTC I'm taking the risk already. S on is just a dumb extra. Dumb people will brick their phones regardless s on or off. But give the smart people the option of truly gaining control of their devices.

I wonder how many of you know how EASY is to brick your phone by flashing a radio rom .
I for one I am happy about not having S-OFF because:
1. when you flash a rom made from source - the rom makes a kernel that it is called "INSECURE" because it can brick your phone - such roms are having those insecure kernels only if the developer doesn't swap the one made from source with another one that works.
2. when S-OFF will be available for our device, I will not try to flash a different radio rom for sure because you don't know if the flash will break your phone unless someone else does it and tells that it works.

Also, the question is if HTC wanted to be so secure then why are some HTC phones s off and some s on?

Oh wow. Double facepalm there. firstly unsecured don't break your phone. It allows you to adb remount to write to system from adb. 2ndly there's no "from source" radios. So you can't brick if it doesn't exist >.<

And that's exactly what I meant.. there won't be any radios unless released by htc. If they released another it was not hacked but build from source in another country, mostly Germany. I'm just helping someone new out so they don't go through XDA getting more rude comments

Hi i am noob as you see with my stupid question. Can i flash CWM by using Haseen2000's One V All-In-One kit, should it be safe, i use GSM version. If something goes wrong, can i flash TWRP, or should i use simply TWRP included with it?
Can i just root my phone by unlocking bootloader, then flashing recovery and then do "Perm-Root" command, should that be fine

Ok, so should i be fine with this:

2. Flash TWRP
3. Perm-Root option
Should my phone then be rooted, or do i need to do something else?
I am bit worried just because this is my first Android phone and i am not fully familiar with those things, but i want to do it.

Rooting will give access to the system files of your android and grant u administrative access over your device,whether u stay on stock or install a custom ROM.

Nova Launcher, Holo Locker then download the ICS Dialer, JB Messaging and JB Contacts app from appstore. That's about as close as you'll get without flashing, in all honesty nothing will go wrong, you've already rooted so I assume recovery is installed so you're 99% there.

Just follow the steps on the one click toolkit, all you need to do is unlock bootloader then install recovery and reboot and done. Just make sure you download the correct one (GSM or CDMA). I've flashed this device plenty of times in the 3 month I've had it with no problems at all, I've also messed about with my last two devices with no issues. And I'm only 17, I'm on an apprenticeship wage so I can't really afford a new device but it's really worth doing, if something goes wrong you can always depend on the people at XDA to help you out in recovering it.
I use MyOneV, its based on Sense Lite but I do prefer the Cyanogenmod based ROMs such as CM10 but I can't get enough of the Sense camera.

Installing apps of jb will not help... The smoothness....!!! The feel of using it will never come at any cost... And dont worry, i hav flashed roms approx. 50 times and nothing went wrong...
Recovery:- try twrp 2.4.4.0 and choose the correct one.... i.e. u r primoU or primoC...
Kernel:- flash dat seperately via fastboot..
Rom:- its up to you...!!!
P.S. please do not be on stock... Try a sense rom if u like it... But no stock... Its not deodexed so u cant even mod it freely...
R: Apps to make jelly bean without flashing rom
Flashing roms is easy once you flash the first one
I suggest you to flash CM 10 but since you want jb feel without it so here you go :
Apex launcher
Holo locker
Camera jb +
Clock jb+
Flash Google now for stock ROM if you want
Jelly bean status bar
Jb messenging app
ICS dialer
Install this much and you are good to go and I highly recommended you to flash Google now its the best feature of jb and flashing this also will not change your ROM or system but since you mentioned that you don't want to flash anything its your choice but its highly recommended
Yes I have flashed google now and am thinking about flashing a Rom. I have noticed google now has a horible amount of lag though.. and is there anyway I can flash a Rom without flashing a kernel as for that would require me to use a computer and right now my computer is down. Or can i flash the boot.IMG using just ny phone?
