all you need to do is goto htc's dev site for unlocking http://www.htcdev.com/
no other steps are necessary if all you want is an unlocked device to allow apps root access... i think this is what you are asking

Wrong ! Unlocking the bootloader will not give you root acces .... Like guich said, unlock , flash a custom recovery , and push the superuser.zip to gain root acces .
This is the second post this morning i read from you where you give incorrect/strange advice ! Please stop that and search for the right answer first yourself
Thank you !

Then wht u can do is first unlock you bootloader Goto www.htcdev.com n unlock
Then u can flash cwm revocery and flash the latest superSU.zip file
After flashing custom recovery take a nandroid backup just incase sumthing goes wrong!
Cannot seem to install custom recovery. Rooted and I THINK bootloader is unlocked.
Hi everyone, I'm in dire need of help.
I believe my bootloader is unlocked and I'm rooted using the one click method. But no matter what I do I can't seem to get a custom recovery installed. Please help me and advise me on what to do.

After you unlock your bootloader the splashscreen when booting has a WHITE background, not black. Unless you have seen and replaced the splashscreen then you haven't unlocked the bootloader and you can flash until the cows come home but it won't do any good...

Ah you're right. My bootloader isn't flashed after all. And even that isn't possible for some reason, neither the unofficial or official way is working
Oh my God, I don't know how but the official bootloader unlock tool just worked! Victory!

Congrats, just be aware now though that you are without warranty and won't be on the OTA list from ASUS...

Even if your bootloader is unlocked, still u will receive OTA updates.
My Z008 is unlocked and rooted. still i receive OTA updates. I just unroot and update the OTA and then re-root.

Official unlock tool or XDA unlock tool?
Once you unlock using ASUS's tool it removes you from the update server or so it has been said...
You can still download from ASUS site and flash through recovery but it generally don't get OTA's...

Assuming that you unlock the bootloader, root the phone and change the splash screen....
Reboot the phone.....
If Asus logo splash screen is black your bootloader is locked.
If Asus logo splash screen is white your bootloader is unlocked.

Why do you want to unlock the bootloader?
For the time being, there is no way to unlock the bootloader in MM. May be in the near future.
If you want to unlock the bootloader in MM, you need to temporarily downgrade the bootloader to Lollipop, unlock the bootloader and upgrade back to MM by the patched bootloader.

No.
To upgrade to MM from LP your firmware has to be at least 184.
You can use OTA or download the MM from ASUS site and install the MM in ADB environment with adb sideload command.
Do not upgrade MM via TWRP. MM install package does not compatible with TWRP. However, there is guide to modified the installation script in order to work with TWRP. The guide was written a year ago for Lollipop .
If your intention is to use custom rom in MM then you need an unlocked bootloader with custom recovery like TWRP.
In that case you need to unlock the bootloader in lollipop before you upgrade to MM. Like I said, there is no direct way to unlock bootloader in MM.
If your intention is to have rooted MM, then you do not need to unlock the bootloader.
You do not need to install the TWRP. You can use tethered TWRP to flash the super su zip file.

I answered your question in the other post.
Is their anyway i can root this phone running on the firmware named H81021y or is their no solution for it . Also do I have to downgrade? Since I have oem unlocking enabled isn't that gonna help?
Hi !
If you don't have a custom recovery,maybe a flash with flashfire and the last SuperSU zip stable on the chainfire's thread....

no you cant. it has locked bootloader.. and you need to be on lollipop. and you need to find out if you can downgrade first.
