Hello I have rooted, installed recovery and unlocked bootloader. But now I just need to get S-Off. Can someone help me and say what exactly I have to do?
With the retirement of AAHK, you now need quite a bit of skill to get S-Off. If you really want to try, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184953.

No. That is the only way. We are working on an script that will do it on almost one click, but it is not going to be supported and therefore will not be noob friendly.
Why do you need S-OFF for?

Hope you will make it fast . I want to install CM 7.2. Cuz when I install it with S-On I got stuck on htc boot logo.

That has nothing to do with S-OFF. That is because you are not flashing the CM boot.img in fastboot after flashing the rom in CWM. With an unlocked bootloader you need to do that everytime you flash a rom.
You can acquire eng S-OFF quite easily if you use a mirror to get AAHK. Simply download the PD98IMG files manually when the script needs them. Worked for me today.

Phone: DHD, 3.20.502.52, ATT
I have successfully unlocked the phone (via HTCDev)
And have successfully rooted the phone.
I installed the ROM Manager and Titanium Backup.
I have the ADB drivers successfully installed on my computer.
I also have HTC Quick Root running on my computer.
I am NOT able to get the CWM Recovery installed on the phone. I always get a " /cache/data..." error.
I've searched and read a number of threads that have indicated the DHD Gingerbread is particularly difficult to get ROM Manager fully working. I tried the process outlined here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39016279), using the easyunlock tool. the script appears to run fine, i've even gone through the redundant step of putting the unlockcode received from htcdev into the tools directory and allowing the script to complete, which it appears to do fine. However, the script indicates the phone should execute some commands as a final step, at which point my phone is already sitting in the bootloader menu and does nothing.
I'm reasonably comfortable with ADB commands and the terminal emulator on the phone.
Can anyone help me understand why I'm failing and what I might do to get the CWM Recovery installed and get ROM Manager working?

If the Easy Ace Root Tool worked fine, then you should have CWM recovery installed....Rom manager needs you to be rooted to work, but an unlocked bootloader allows you to flash a custom recovery.
I ran Rum runner and seem to have gained they S-OFF and unlocked bootloader but not Root/SU. I tried to flash the TWRP recover and I get a message that says Failed (Remote: not allowed). Can someone point me to or provide the steps I need to get a custom recovery and SU on the phone now?

I was following those instructions. When I run the command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7vzw.img I get the error Failed (Remote: Not Allowed).
I have found a few things not specific to the HTC One that indicate I need to move TWRP into a recovery.img file inside a file like PD98IMG.zip that is automatically found in HBOOT. I can't seem to get that to work since I don't know the name the HTC One is looking for ands the ones I've guessed don't work.
Any more ideas?
Are you sure you unlocked the phone? Is there an "*UNLOCKED*" banner in the bootloader?
If you have S-OFF and are unlocked just flash a superuser .zip and you are rooted.

Get Flashify from the market and see if you can flash a twrp

I had already tried Flashify. I gave a message about the phone not being supported for flashing recovery images.
Ok, so to post an answer in case anyone else runs into this issue. I did have S-Off, I was Unlocked and I did have Superuser installed. To overcome the Failed (Remote: not allowed) error I had to run the cmd window (Windows 7) as an Administrator.
Thanks for the suggestions. Bone headed oversight on my part.

i'm also stuck. i'm on a vzw htc one, s-off worked, but i cannot flash TWRP or CWM and thus, cannot get superuser. i tried the both versions of CWM (touch and regular) and the latest TWRP. no dice.
i am on android version 4.2.2, htc sense 5, 1.10.605.15.
s-off is confirmed UNLOCKED in bootloader menu. i used the correct version from rumrunner. i'm getting really frustrated. firewall, antivirus, etc, is all off. drivers are in tact. ADB commands work and i can navigate between fastboot and ABD when running command prompt as admin.
HELP!

Can you post a link to which version of the recoveries you are trying to flash?
Trouble with achieving root.
I just got an HTC One, ran rumrunner and achieved S-Off, but not root. I used the correct rumrunner for the ROM I have (1.10.605.15). I realize I could flash a custom recovery, but I'm looking to just root and continue to use Sense with the stock recovery for the convenience of OTA updates.
I tried to use the "fastboot boot" command to load up an image of TWRP (2.6.3.3) and then install root from there, but for some reason my device just freezes on the fastboot screen despite what feedback my console is giving me. I tried waiting and then flushing the cache to see what the result was. Picture below. Any help is appreciated.
Same here. I just got an HTC one from Verizon yesterday. Turned S-Off using runrunner. Verified root but can not access recovery. I had the same issue with a S4 but it was a known issue for all that has updated to the 4.3.
I have tried all the suggestions above. I am wondering if this is a Verizon related issue? Maybe they are putting something on their phones to prevent recovery?
HELP!!!!

The day Verizon does that is the day Google blocks them from using the play store. Either you are doing something wrong or you have corrupted nand memory.

Basic question: My recovery screen shows "***UNLOCKED***, M7_WLV PVT SHIP S-OFF RH". Does this indicate a state of S-OFF or S-ON? I ran rumrunner and thought that I had achieved unlocked and S-OFF status but I cannot run fastboot from a command line. I keep getting the reply that "fastboot" is not recognized as a command. So, I cannot flash twrp and I cannot gain root access. I'd be grateful for any assistance.

From what you said you should be unlocked and s-off. Download twrp image and flash it with Flashify from the Play Store. That is what I did.
Rumrunner didn't jive with my windows 8.1.

Thanks for the reply. I tried Flashify but since I don't have root, I can't run it. Apparently, rumrunner did not gain root on my device. I'm currently running rumrunner again to see if I can get some joy.

M7WLV is the Google Play Edition of the HTC One, but this Forum is devoted to the Verizon variant of the HTC One, namely M7VZW.
Fellow Noob here. Please bare with me.
Purchase a used HTC one. Previous owner has S Off and Custom Recovery (Team Recovery).
The OTA comes over on my phone but when I try to install I am taken to the Team Recovery prompt at start up.
How do I get my phone to a state to take OTA updates like 4.4.2 (Verizon)?
Help is much appreciated.

You'll have to go back to stock rom and stock recovery. There should be a thread out there to tell you how if you don't already know. Search this forum for "return to Stock recovery" and I'm sure you'll find it.
Does this video an accurate description of what I need to do?
Youtube: How to Unroot HTC ONE and Relock Bootloader or back to STOCK (All Versions)
Sorry can't post links yet.
The exception being - using the correct RUU for verizon?
Ruu back to 2.10.605.1 - can be found in santods rom/radio/kernel thread at the bottom of the second post.
Take the ota
Fastboot flash recovery
Flash Superuser thru recovery.
No need to relock your bootloader to do an ruu, it is a myth.

Thank you cmlusco. Very greatful.
So 1) Download Ru 2.10.605.1
2) Go through the prompts
3) take OTA 4.4.2 (KitKat)
At this point, what does the Fastboot Flash Recovery, and Flash Superused thru recovery do?
Thank you very much!
Yes, and those roots the phone again. It flashes a custom recovery like twrp, so that u can flash superuser, roms, mods, and do backups. And the second flashes superuser, which well gives you superuser rights to modify files on the phone, use root apps, etc..

Gotcha. I could just leave it after the OTA 4.2.2. - leaving the device unrooted (but with a unlocked bootloader & S off)?
my main objective is to really just go back to stock but still get OTA updates. i purchased this phone with the intention of just running stock features etc.
Yeah just do the ruu and you will be stock unlocked s-off JB. Then you can take the KK ota and all future ota's.

After downloading 2 different RUU's I can't find any Exe Executable files after unzipping.. What am I doing wrong?
You dont unzip them and there is no exe. You flash the zip as it is using fastboot. You need adb and fastboot + drivers installed on your pc. Place the zip in the same folder as adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Then open a cmd prompt on your pc so that the path is the same as where the files are. Then reboot the phone to the bootloader. In the cmd prompt type
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
The phone will go to a black screen, then type
Code:
fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip
It may fail the first time with a message about flushing, this is normal. Just run the second cmd again
Code:
fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip

This thread contains all the information you need, for drivers and twrp. Its very simple to follow.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2800727
If you haven't upgraded your firmware to the latest 2.22.x base you won't be able to flash the latest arhd rom. That thread will walk you through that as well. If your not sure what firmware your on that thread shows you how to check.
You don't NEED s-off for any of this, but it makes upgrading firmware easier. If you don't have s-off you need to relock your bootloader before upgrading firmware.

Skype won't help if you don't want to give enough info. Seems like you're just giving the least amount detail possible when responding.
Get adb and fastboot setup on your computer. There's a ton of tutorials about this. Just use the internet.
After you've installed those run in terminal (command prompt) "adb devices" to check to make sure it's working. Then in terminal run "adb reboot bootloader". This will boot your device into bootloader (fastboot mode).
Then that's where you type fastboot flash recovery <insert recovovery.img here>
Once that's done type in terminal "fastboot reboot" and you're device will reboot.
Done. You'll have whatever recovery you chose.
Hi,
I'm trying to use hasoon2000's AIO toolkit in order to root my HTC One M8 (T-Mobile). I am following the guide outlined in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066390
I've flashed the recovery, all that I need to do now is click "Perm Root" to push supersu.zip onto my phone, and then use the recovery to install the zip. However, when I click perm root, i get the following message:
failed to copy 'su/supersu.zip' to '/sdcard/supersu.zip' permission denied

After I go to the recovery, I see supersu.zip there, and I flash it using the recovery, but I don't think it is a full and proper installation because when I enter supersu from my phone, it is telling me that "binaries" are not installed. I am assuming this is because of the denied permissions. USB debugging is definitely on. Any advice?

Does it also tell you to click a button to update the binaries? Do that.
Also, why are you using a toolkit? Rooting the M8 is super easy.
I always suggest to never use toolkits unless there is no other option to gain root. Usually for cheap third world devices like Micromax.
EDIT:
Here:
Go to this link, and download the "UPDATE SuperSU.zip" onto your phone.
Flash it in recovery.
Find it in your app drawer and open it.
Update the binaries.
You are now rooted.

If you are running Lollipop, the SuperSU version that comes with the toolkit is quite obsolete, and won't work anyway.
Just download the current (2.46) version SuperSU and flash it like xunholyx says.

The response should be the phone ID; which corresponds to your serial number, I believe, so do NOT post it.

Why are you trying to flash in recovery mode? You need to be in fastboot mode to flash via fastboot.
Have you got the proper fast boot drivers?
