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?

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.

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

[Q] HTC One X Shipped JB Update

Hi guys I have noticed in footballs' thread he recently added the RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.24_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed.exe, my question is will I have any issues flashing to that ROM from my current which is still stock RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.
And if not how do I flash that rom? I know its from a different CID but its English right...and it should work fine, Im eager to get JB on my device. Goldcards are out of the question (no sd card slot ... ) obviously.
I'd like to keep my device on an original ROM with S-on etc afterwards.
Thanks

You can't. There is no way to change cid unless s-off is achieved.

You need an s-off one x to do that. But s-offing the one x is not yet possible so your best choice is to find an s-off one x. My hox is s-off, you can have it for a discounted price of 1000 dollars!

S off, s on, why HTC???

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..

The whole purpose is that we don't root our phones and because many problems happen due to rooting
htc wants to keep a track of all the devices which have unlocked their boot loaders so that if they get spoiled they don't have to repair free of cost

See there are
1.devs ,

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?
In fact even some one vs have s off, like someone had xb ship s off and smartboy_anu even had a pvt ship s off out of the box.

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

Everhthing went well I thought because my device febooted 3 times as it said it would and then the instructions said I had root. But SuperSu did not show up in my app tray. Apparently my bootloader is locked. How would I vo about unlocking so so that I can root my device? I am running 4.1.1 JB on my one x and the instructions were for ICS.

Do NOT use anything from here ! Definitely not the TEGRA 3 all in one rootkit. You have to flash only stuff from your own forum !
You need to go to the
AT&T, HTC one xl, rogers forum with this

What's difficult? It's just as any HTC phone...Only thing different is, you need to flash the img file via fastboot because HOX is S-ON and there's no method to S-OFF it ATM! Only HTC can do it for you!
1. Unlock bootloader via htcdev.com
2. flash custom recovery via fastboot
3. Flash SuperSU.zip via recovery
Done! Your rooted!

Press Power Button + Volume down button till you get into bootloader screen... See what is written on the 2-3rd line?
IF it says "Endeavoru" then you have the International one and your in the Correct forum!
If it says "evita" or "evitaire" it means you have One XL or the One X+
