HOW TO ROOT HTC ONE V

HOW TO ROOT HTC ONE V

The true beauty of an Android phone doesn’t come from its hardware specs, or from the Android version it’s running on. The phone’s genuine beauty comes from the freedom that lets Android users customize their Android phones. For the price of voiding your warranty, rooting your phone will awaken and reveal its true capabilities hiding within its system.
Senior XDA Developers member ckpv5 and a group of developers have created a rooting procedure for your HTC One V. This procedure will easily root your phone and let you gain root-level privileges. With a rooted phone, you can enjoy tweaks and extended features from apps that requires root access. You can even install custom ROMs and other mods to your mobile phone. Continue reading the rest of the guide to learn how to root your HTC One V.

Warning

  • The instructions in this guide are intended for use with the HTC One V. Applying these instructions on another device or model may produce undesired outcomes.

  • Use these instructions at your own risk. We shall not hold any responsibility or liability for whatever happens to you or your device arising from your use of the info in this guide.

  • Backup all personal data on your phone to make sure you have a copy of your personal data (e.g., contacts, SMS, MMS, Internet settings, Wi-Fi passwords, and the like) in case the procedure in this guide erases such data.

Instructions

  1. Download the r1-primo-superboot.zip and extract it to a folder on your computer.
  2. Download the boot.superboot.img and place it in the folder where you extracted r1-primo-superboot.zip. This will replace the boot.superboot.img that came with r1-primo-superboot.zip.
  3. Switch off your HTC One V.
  4. Reboot your HTC One V into Bootloader Mode by pressing the Volume Down key and Power button simultaneously until Bootloader Mode boots.
  5. Select Fastboot from the Bootloader Menu.

HOW TO ROOT HTC ONE S

HOW TO ROOT HTC ONE S


If you’re in ownership of an HTC One S, you’ll probably be pleased to learn that it’s been rooted courtesy of – as usual – XDA developers, or, more specifically, forum member paulobrien.
We’ve got all the details in a step by step below. Please make sure you read every step carefully in order to prevent any mishaps.
HTC-One-S
DISCLAIMER: Proceed with caution and at your own risk. Redmond Pie is not to be held responsible for any loss of data as a result of you following this tutorial.
Step 1: Download the Superboot .zip file and extract the files therein [Download link over at XDA, with link at the end of the post].
Step 2: Next, you’ll need to ensure your device is in bootloader mode by turning off the phone first, and then powering with the ‘volume down‘ button pressed.
Step 3: Extract the contents of the ‘r3-ville-superboot.zip‘ downloaded in Step 1, and save the folder in a recognized location.
Step 4: Connect your device to your computer via USB cable.
(Mac users, skip to Step 6Linux users, jump ahead to Step 7).
Step 5: Locate the folder containing the extracted files. Double click on the ‘install-superboot-windows.bat‘ file [WINDOWS ONLY].
Step 6: Run the Terminal app on your Mac, making sure that it points to the directory that containing the extracted files. Then, type in the following command:
chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh ./install-superboot-mac.sh
Step 7: Run the Terminal application on your Linux-powered computer, and again, ensure it is it pointing to the directory containing the extracted files. Type in the following command:
chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh ./install-superboot-linux.sh
And that – as they say – is that. If you followed the steps religiously, you should now have root access to your HTC One S, with all the freedom and possibilities having a rooted device brings with it!
If you’re unsure of the benefits of rooting your device, or are looking for more information on the subject, I highly recommend you check out this post, which covers many of the pros and limitations of owning a rooted device.
If you get stuck at any point before, during, or after the rooting process, you’re strongly advised to check out the original thread on XDA. They’re a helpful bunch of guys, and very informative, meaning you won’t be stuck for too long.

HOW TO ROOT HTC Thunderbolt



... How To Root Your Verizon HTC Thunderbolt ...




INFORMATION:
INDEX OF THIS THREAD
Post #1: Revolutionary Toolkit for rooting - You're Here
Post #2: How to root WITHOUT downgrading - Go Here 
Post #3: How to root WITH downgrading - Go Here 
Post #4: How to unroot and return to stock - Go Here




NOTE:
The minor OTA to firmware number 2.11.605.9 patches the exploit used by Revolutionary. 
So, before you can use the Revolutionary Toolkit below... you must either do option #1 or option #2 before using Revolutionary.


There are 2 options:
#1 Achieve temp root via another means, then run Revolutionary. (Info in Post #2)
OR
#2 Several users have reported being able to downgrade to 2.11.605.5 simply by running an RUU for that firmware, despite an s-on hboot wich would normally prevent you from going backwards in version numbers. (Info in Post #3)


Feel free to do whichever is most comfortable  




Revolutionary
A new method has just become available that does not wipe your data. This is 100% the best and most recommended way to root your Thunderbolt at this time.
WARNING: GAINING S-OFF ACCESS ON THE HTC THUNDERBOLT WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
As with any ROM or modification the usual disclaimer applies.... You are using this at your own risk!


This is, LITERALLY, less than a 5 minute process, assuming you have all the files/preliminary stuff done first. Having to do "all" the preliminary should take you another couple minutes, at most... This is THAT simple!


Information you need to have first:


1) Serial number of your cell phone
2) HBOOT version number
3) HTC FastBoot drivers
4) Super User file: superuser 3.07.zip
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


5) Uninstall HTC Sync drivers (or any other auto-sync programs you may have on your computer; you may just need to turn them "off"; I don't know.)


6) Set phone to USB Debugging on, and Always awake


To get into HBOOT, turn your phone off. Then press the volume down button along with the power button. Press and hold, and within 5 seconds it'll come on. This method supports versions 1.04.0000 and 1.05.0000.


Step-by-step Revolutionary rooting instructions:




Step 1) Install HTC FastBoot driver


Step 2) Go to REVOLUTIONARY and follow the instructions to download the file revolutionary-0.4pre3.zip. It will require you to know your cell phone's serial number, and what version of HBOOT you have.


Step 3) Plug your phone in, select "usb storage", and copy the Super User file to the SDCard somewhere (easiest if you don't put it into a folder on your SD card.) Don't unzip it. 


Step 4) Plug in your phone, and when the prompt comes up, set to "Charge Only". Disregard any notices and don't install any additional drivers or whatnot.


Step 5) Unzip the Revolutionary zip file into a folder somewhere you can find it.


Step 6) Run the file "revolutionary.exe".


Step 7) Follow the prompts on the screen. It's pretty straightforward. It will reboot to HBOOT a couple times, the last time you'll see it at the top saying "S-Off".


Step 8) It asks you if you want to install clockwork recovery. Select "Y". You'll need this...


You now have a permanent custom recovery on your phone.


Now to actually Root it:


Step 9) From the HBOOT, scroll down to "Bootloader" using the volume keys, and select using the power button. Then scroll/select "Recovery" Yes, it seems sluggish...that's fine. Don't be impatient; it'll let you scroll at some point...


Step 10) Wait! You'll see the HTC spash screen for a bit, and then eventually you'll be into Clockwork Recovery


Step 11) Scroll to "install zip from sdcard" and select.


Step 12) Scroll to "choose zip from sdcard"


Step 13) Find the super user file (superuser-3.zip) (it'll be at the bottom of the directory list if you put it in the base directory of the sd card) and select it.


Step 14) Sit back and watch the quick show... If all goes well, it will install and show you when it's finished.


Step 15) Reboot the phone (keep selecting "back" until you have the option to reboot the phone)


If you are getting Force Closes from Superuser after you are finished, please reboot into Clockwork Recovery and FIX PERMISSIONS. 

YOU'RE NOW ROOTED!!! On a STOCK ROM! No loss of data. No re-setup. Nothing...

Note: This root will be permanent or temporary based on the state of your bootloader. If it is locked, the root will be temporary and you will have to re-root every time you restart your device. However, if it has been unlocked, root will be permanent. You can follow this guide on XDA to unlock your bootloader.
Alright, so before we get down to it, we suggest you download these files beforehand so that the actual rooting process can be done quickly.
Although the process shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes to complete, be sure to ensure that your HTC Amaze 4G has enough charge to last through the rooting process. If your device runsout of battery during rooting, there is a chance that you might brick it.
Step 1: Install HTC Drivers on your computer so that One Click Perm Root can detect your HTC Amaze 4G properly.
Step 2: Connect your device to your computer through USB.
Step 3: Enable USB Debugging on your HTC Amaze 4G from Settings > Applications > Development.
Step 4: Extract Zerg_Root_OneClick.zip (which you downloaded before Step 1) to C:\ and launch ZergRushTempRoot.bat
Step 5: Your HTC Amaze 4G will now be rooted. The process will take up to 3 minutes.
Step 6: Reboot your device.

28/3/2012
Added V4 of the Doomlord Exploit as may be why XL was rooted without bootloader being unlocked.

well i relocked my bootloader and flashed ruu 1.05.404 then I used Doolord V4 to root my phone. This was succesful in permanently rooting my phone without unlocking my bootloader. This was not possible with V2 so if anyone wants to root without unlocking bootloader this is now possible using V4 of the Doomlord Exploit attached below. PLEASE NOTE THAT STILL NEED TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER TO FLASH CUSTOM ROMS AND RECOVERY

Before we get started, a couple of things that you need to make sure. The computer that you will be using to perform the root should either be running Windows or Linux, secondly your Sensation needs to be fully charged. Now lets begin with the rooting.
1. S-Off your HTC Sensation:
1. First of all, get the Hboot version for your HTC Sensation.
For that, with your phone turned ON, go to Settings > Power > Fast Reboot and uncheck fast reboot. Alternatively, you can turn off your phone, take out the battery and insert it again. That’s just to make sure your phone isn’t hibernating. Once done, hold the Volume Down button and press Power button, your phone will enter Bootloader/HBOOT.

7. It will ask for the beta key you generated on the website, enter it. Make sure you type it correctly as its case sensitive or just copy paste to avoid mistakes.
8. Follow the on screen prompts and wait till your phone is S-Off.
9. Revolutionary will ask you to install Clockwork Recovery now, enter N .
10. Your device is now S-Off.

2. Attach your phone in data storage mode to your pc and copy the file PG58IMG to your SD cards root folder.
3. Reboot your phone into bootloader/HBOOT screen.
4. On the screen it will ask *Do you want to start the update*.Press volume up for yes and volume down for no.Press volume up.
5. It will start the update and once done , reboot your phone to normal home screen.
6. Open your SD card and delete the PG58IMG file you copied earlier.
7. Cloclwork Recovery is installed on your phone and you can use it to root your phone.

3. Root your HTC Sensation :
1. Download the file su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip from here.
2. Connect your phone to pc in USB data mode, copy the downloaded file in the root folder of your SD card.
3. Reboot your phone in Bootloader mode, from there navigate to Recovery using volume up and volume down and using power button to select.
4. You will enter Clockwork Recovery.
