Download:

Connect device in fastboot mode (blue LED).
Open Command prompt and type:
fastboot flash system system_xps_prerooted_63fw.img
This will give you root immediatly after reboot!
A nicer way will come soon. But this should solve first problems

In Windows command prompt. But ou need fastboot installed.

If you get market problems go ot Settings -> Apps -> ... -> Search for the market in the list and then delete Data of the App. After that all will work fine.

I know roughly what you are talking about. I know command prompt, although I never used fastboot, as I only owned X10 (until I dropped it and USB port snapped ), so never had to/wanted to unlock bootloader this way. But I want to learn, that's why I am reading all this now, and I need to ask about something I am not sure of.
Just go through the unlock bootloader process and then you will know what fastboot is
After that just type my comamnd with my file in the same directory and you will be done.
Regards
If I were you I would wait till I get ICS on the phone then unlock the bootloader and root the phone.
Quick question. It just wonders me. Sony "supports" unlocking bootloader, which is more dangerous than root. Why rooting is not supported then? Is it because we could unistall third party aplications and Sony has some sort of agreements with them and are obligated by law?

No you are getting the idea wrong
Long ago we discussed alot with SonyEricsson and together decided this is the best way of doing it.
The reason is simple:
Rooting alone does not give you access to all partitions etc. pp See X10 Forums for that. Sony is very good in hiding partitions
With a bootloader unlock we get fully workable fastboot. We are able to write all partitions and change what we want. (Root too)
Also Sony(Ericsson) is able to track who unlocks and who not AND is able to provide a check mechanism to forbid unlocking of phones which are not owned by the user (for example provider branded phones in contract, the phone is usually property of the provider).
So this is the reason. Unlocked bootloader gives us nearly full access, so no need to worry I am in this game since X10 times (like you or not ?)and we always got the phones working like we wanted.
Our work for CM9 on XPS has started now too.

See, I was not aware of that "agreement". Now everything seems to make sense. I am android user since I bought X10 back in August 2010. I was more or less following XDA since then as well, but this forum is worldwide community and is almost imposible to keep a track on everything. I would consider myself somewhere between rookie and advanced users. I know how to do certain things (root, how to use ADB, I was changing framwork_res.apk for my own purposes, etc.). My point also is, I am more hardware sort of guy, rather than software. That's why I am glad you guys are here with us.
Will this wipe the phone data or only the system partition ?

Well no. But the first step is that you need to unlock bootloader and THIS WILL wipe your data. To flash the systempartition itself will not wipe userdata.
Cholek3 said:
Yes, I agree. But myself, I will wait for root for phones with locked bootloader as well. I assume I will be happy with phone speed, but when CM9 comes out, then I will consider unlockin bootloader.

So you restored with Titanium. Since Titanium is a Root app and you don't had Root before i think you are trying to restore a backup from another phone.
If you do that you have to assure that you ONLY RESTORE APPS and NOT SETTINGS! Settings from another phone will be most likely incompatible.
So this wil be your problem!

just use callrecorder by SKVALEX(green color) from market with choosing recording calls from kernel with 2 way recording patch(root required) option

A couple of months ago I asked if there was an upgrade path to the latest update for a non rooted completely stock Verizon HTC One. The phone belongs to my mom who uses it on Ultra Mobile. Is there anyway to upgrade it to Kitkat. Right not it's on 4.2 Jellybean.

Sure there is. Manually download the otapkg.zip and copy it to the phone. Reboot into stock recovery and chose apply update from phone storage.

Trying to do that. When I boot into recovery I get unable to access sd card for about 5 times and then it finally boots into recovery. When attempting to select apply from phone storage it states invalid operation and reboots the phone. Any suggestions?

Well, this method used to work.
It may be that s-off is required to accomplish this now.
I can't really say for sure, as I haven't had a device that stayed s-on for more then a few days at most.

Thanks for trying anyways. Greatly appreciated. I guess my mom will stay on 4.2.2 for the foreseeable future.
Just updating for any future users who may come across the thread. The solution to my initial issue is as follows:
For those not on Verizon you can still update by using HTC sync. After installing HTC Sync and connecting your phone, it will prompt you for an available upgrade. Follow the onscreen instructions and the phone will be updated to whatever the latest update is.

As long as you are stock I might add. If it reads a custom Rom you won't get offered an update. And btw, what the app knows HTC knows ?

So HTC knew I went from 4.x.x.x (while unlocked and s-off with root) down to 2.x.x.x to update to the newest through the app before going s-off and they took my phone to swap out. Cracked screen replacement. Sometimes they know but don't check.

Sorta depends on the case and who you get whether It pans out to be a problem. Just wanted to forewarn folks this app does check in
The fuu app does not.
Hey all,
For starters, disclaimer:
I am not responsible for thermonuclear war, bricks, and or your parents grounding you for said brick.
This method is VERY finicky, and very hard to reproduce. I cannot promise anything. It worked for me.
You need to download the following apks:
- KingRoot (Newest available on kingroot.net)
- KingUser (Newest available on kingroot.net)
- SunShine (3.0+, available @ theroot.ninja)
Once you have downloaded all of these apk files, follow the below steps:
1. Go to Settings ==> Security ==> Check "Allow Installation of Apps from Unknown Sources" and agree to the prompt.
2. Go to Settings ==> About ==> Software Info ==> Tap "Build Number" 12 Times.
3. Go to Settings ==> Developer Options ==> Check "USB Debugging"
4. Now install all the APK files by clicking on them.
5. Ensure you are connected to a reliable WiFI network.
6. Ensure you have Location Services/GPS and High Accuracy turned on in Settings.
7. Open KingRoot and select "Try to Root" when prompted.
8. Now, wait for it to complete. We don't expect KingRoot to succeed! We only expect it to display a prompt and then fail! If it reboots, you need to reopen KingRoot and try again.
Keep closing (through your Recent Apps Menu) and re-opening/re-running KingRoot until you get a prompt that says "Google cannot verify this app, would you like to Install KingUser?" click "Install" any similar message will work, i.e. "Google recommends you not install this app, would you like to install KingUser?" but a similar message must display, if it doesn't display, re-run KingRoot.
9. After the message goes away, and KingRoot fails, close the app, and open KingUser.
10 Verify that KingUser says you are rooted.
At this point, you are temp-rooted. You cannot write to the /System partition. You can only use apps that don't require /System access (very few).I recommend you cough up the $25 for SunShine. Only follow the instructions from here if you have $25 and want to unlock your boot loader, go S-OFF, and get Permanent Root & R/W /System Access.
11. Now, open SunShine and follow the on screen prompts, grant it SU access when prompted. It will reboot (Do not re-open SunShine as instructed after reboot!!!).
12. Repeat the steps 7-9 outlined above to re-gain temp-root.
13. NOW re-Open Sunshine and follow the on-screeen prompts.
Congrats! You are S-OFF, Unlocked, and your warranty bit returns an "OFFICIAL" status in bootloader mode. Now to install TWRP.
14. Download TWRP from here: http://android.cmphys.com/twrp-m7vzw/ ON YOUR PC/MAC/LINUX BOX
Make sure to use this and not the stock TWRP build! The stock TWRP build doesn't have full Lollipop encryption support (as of 5/29/15).
15. Reboot to bootloader with the volume buttons, or use ADB to reboot to bootloader.
16. Plug your phone into your PC and verify you see it when you run "fastboot devices" from CMD/Terminal.
17. Run "fastboot flash recovery /pathtotwrpimghere/nameoftwrpimg.img".
18. Run the volume buttons to select "Recovery".
19. Download the flashable SuperSU .zip for 2.46 and transfer it to your phone while in TWRP.
20. Install the SuperSU .zip from TWRP and reboot.
21. Uninstall KingUser.
You are rooted and S-OFF. Enjoy your ROMs/Kernels freely.
This method is highly finicky. It worked for me, and it can for you! it took me about an hour to get KingRoot to display the message asking to install KingUser. Just keep trying!
Good Luck!!!
Anyone else get this to work?

I did get this to work. Previously stock lollipop and s-on locked hboot 1.61.
Now s-off unlocked 1.61 and stock lollipop.
I installed kingroot/king user. Got root. Ran sunshine...purchased it...sunshine rebooted phone.
On reboot clear data of kingroot/king user...uninstall and reinstall king root / king user. Get root again...finish sunshine.
Rebooted, unlocked! Rerun kingroot stuff for root. Install twrp from play store, ignore warnina have it install...works. Perm root now.

In fact, all I had to do was download KingRoot and it actually successfully rooted my phone. I checked Root checker just in case and it says Root access is properly installed.

You won't have true write protection disabled until you turn s-off if you haven't already. Other wise apps you remove and settings you change with root will revert each time you reboot.

This is true. With these phones, root itself is almost moot. S=off is what I really want. Sure u can use titanium backup, but u CANT remove system apps, change boot animations, edit build.prop, etc... All because of.the built in write protection which u need s=off for... Ppl need to just bite the bullet and get sunshine. I got it the day it finally came out for us (back on 4.4.2) and been thankful for it every day since...

How many times did you guys have to run KingRoot? And do you run it to completion each time? I've run it at least 10 times on my device, it fails every time, and I have yet to see a prompt as described in the OP.

Unfortunately most of us in this section won't be able to help. Your best bet is going to the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4 section. Coming for help with your note 4 in an HTC section is like asking some people who know Chevy if they could help you fix your Ford. The expert advise would be ask the Ford experts and not the Chevy experts.
RUU is a term for HTC phones: Rom Update Utility. Samsung devices use Odin and I have no idea how to use it. I would help if I could.
The correct area for your device:

What does the repair phone option do? And I guess I wasn't too clear. My phone, for the most part, is fine. Everything works fine *except* that KingRoot won't install correctly. All my other apps are fine.
Hey Folks
I have a slight issue, I had a rooted HTC 10(UK EE) phone running firmware 1.80.91.1, which I wanted to update so I flashed a back-up from TWRP to restore OTA functionality, however, this backup was corrupted and the phone got stuck in a boot loop with no OS, hurrah!
I've sorted that however, by locating a TWRP backup of 1.21.91.4, which was the only one I could find for the CID EVE__001, this file was just a boot and sys.img no recovery, now I still can't get OTA updates as I'm getting the file system is corrupted error when trying to download the updates.
So I've hunted and hunted either to find a full back-up, recovery or RUU that will work with my CID as I'm S-on, I have had no luck, so I can no longer get updates for the phone.
So, does anyone have a stock recovery they could upload for either 1.21.91.4, or even better a full back-up of any of the x.xx.91.x firmware? I've been tearing my hair out trying to find anything above 1.21.91.4 and even that was just a partially back up.
Any help is muchly appreciated.
Hi, I am om EE uk but my CID is HTC__001.
I HAVE A FULL BACKUP DONE IN TWRP, WHICH YOU CAN HAVE. I WILL SORT IT OUT AND SEND YOU A LINK. DONT KNOW IF IT WILL WORK BECAUSE OF DIFFERENT CID, BUT YOU CAN GIVE IT A GO.
GIVE ME A DAY OR SO.
Sorry to resurrect the thread, @si86 I've having trouble restoring radio signal on my HTC 10 after flashing an incorrect ROM, I'm on EE also- I'd really appreciate a copy of your TWRP backup to try on my handset if you are able to supply, would be very appreciated! I'm able to change the CID to match, having been through them all recently! My bootloader is unlocked and I'm S-Off. Thanks.

I've just hunted high and low to try and figure out why nothing will flash successfully to my HTC 10.
turns out to be this same issue, I'm showing as CID - EVE_001 on an MID 2PS62000
Any chance you could send me that link as well so that I can at least try and get the phone back to a usable state instead of being stuck in either bootloader, download or recovery.
My phone is Bootloader unlocked, but still S-On as I hadn't got that far yet.
Will i need to flash a stock recovery? and lock the bootloader again to get this to install properly?
It's really proving tricky as hell.
I got caught out a bit here as I was half way to using sunshine to s_off, and then I accidentally triggered an OTA update to Nougat 7.0.......
It never restarted properly after that and i've been unable to get it back to 6 or any other ROM at all as they all fail.
I managed to fix it, but only by switching to s-off and installing the EU edition software, I'm a tad concerned now though as I've yet to get the roll out of the 7.0 update, not sure if that's because of installing a different firmware or whether it hasn't been rolled out yet.
@si86 Many thanks for your assistance and sharing the files, I was unable to fix my phone after trying various avenues (100+hrs) so I swallowed my pride and went the insurance route, not worth spending more time on getting to work and I now have a rather nice device, yet unusable call/texts wise to play with alongside my nice shiny new one running 2.41.91.3 - I've rooted and S-off with sunshine, just trying to decide whether i'm going to play with some more custom ROMS again! Of course I am!
@Tuesg Kudos on fixing your issue!

Along with superuser usually comes with an app for configuring it, depending on how it was rooted. SuperSU is usually the most common although I much prefer magisk.
It will be obvious what it's called, either superuser, SuperSU, etc. SuperSU contains within it the ability to fully unroot.
If there's no app, and if it is a stock rom, and not a custom one, a factory reset will remove it. If not, you will probably need to either do some adb commands to remove it, or remove it using the recovery.

In short terms, yes that might work for banking apps but it won't work for future Android updates. You need a completely stock (untouched) system and SU changes that even if you choose to unroot via the application.
hi when i i tried that super user unoot it goes to Twrp bootloader and nothing in there says unroot or uninstall twrp bootloader

I've had that issue with both Viper and Maximus. Removing root doesnt seem to totally remove it, and certain apps still pick up ... something.
Going back to total stock condition is a huge pain in the unmentionables. Because quite a lot of phones don't actually have an RUU for thier CID (for instance mine, H3G__001) has no RUU. So complete stock, even from TWRP backup was never an option for me. Even though ROOT wasnt an issue, things like OTA problems persisted no matter what.
I had to S-OFF (worth it in general tbh) in order to go back to a complete stock condition using the HTC WWE version (HTC__001). In the end I just decided to stick with the ROM I have now, LeeDroid. It has the option to be installed without root from the get go, but these days I just use Magisk. It is so simple to hide from banking apps and even things like pokemon go, that it doesnt do any harm having root there.

Hi there,
I'm in the exact same spot as the guy above. I restored the backup he mentioned, but don't have the Recovery. Therefore my phone is telling me I need to enter decryption password and won't boot past it.
Would you be able to give me that backup too?
Thanks.
Hello,
So I bought the HTC 10 directly from their store a few months ago, and have been considering to root it. The thing is that when I look up the Model Number on the HTC, it say "HTC 10" as well, no info. Is there a way to find it's actual MN if it's hidden (as I assume)?
Let me know if there's any other info needed. Thank you in advanced.

You'll need fastboot.
Reboot into download mode (hold volume down and restart the phone), and from your computer type
Fastboot getvar all
Your model number will be listed as MID.
Or, if you bought it from HTC directly and haven't modified anything you'll be able to tell by the software number in the phone's settings. It'll be something like 2.x.y.z. The three digit y number will be something like 617 (u.s unlocked, model ID 2PS65000) or 401 (wwe, model id 2PS62000), for example.
But you don't really need to know that to root. You just need to unlock your bootloader using HTCdev website and then follow instructions for root on xda.

I have the ADB files and fastboot together, but won't show up within the cmd window. Anynthing I'm doing wrong? OEM's unlocked and USB debugging's enabled

Honestly I'm not very good at troubleshooting adb issues. I would suggest you follow instructions on the HTCdev website for bootloader unlocking, they tell you how to install fastboot. Else there are tons of guides on xda or YouTube.
Also make sure you disable HTC Sync Manager on your pc, if you have it.

Is it necessary, or just an optional program in this case?

No you don't need it. Just make sure you have htc drivers. One way of doing that is, I believe, is to install htc sync manager but then remove it while keeping the drivers.

Alright, I found an individual driver installer, got it set up. Thanks for the help.

I successfully got the bootloader unlocked, installed latest TWRP, but upon installing the supersu the forums made to bypass dm_verity and the forceencrypt, it went into a bootloop.
There was a red message saying something among the lines of, "This is for developers only..." and whatnot, and simply kept looping.
Thankfully I made the backup, so I restored it. But I'm stuck at the SuperSU part.
If anyone knows why it is doing this, please let me know.
I should also point out, twrp was able to decrypt my phone's data when creating the backup, so not sure if this would mean I need to intentionally install an older TWRP, just so with that version, they fail decryption.
Sorry for bothering, got it working. Have Nougat, so I didn't knew I needed another different SuperSU

Yeah, thank you for your help, btw.
Only current issue I'm having is trying to set up Adaway, since it requests S-Off. (Which I'm concerned of, since idk if doing so and letting the app do it's thing would unencrypt the data) So wondering it it's wise to do so.

Why is Adaway asking for S-Off? Not even sure it should be able to see your s-on/s-off state. Root access is all that it should be requesting.
S-off with sunshine won't touch your data partition. But I wouldn't pay for S-Off just because Adaway is asking you to.

Oddly, it went and started working now, at first it requested to create something that required S-Off. Hmm, perhaps I must of tweaked something for it to no longer need that.
I have one more doubt, but I feel this one may be better to be done as a new thread instead.
