Flash superuser in recovery.
Sent from my EVO using XDA Free mobile app

As mentioned, superuser would do the trick. SuperSU is another option out there too. I'd download both just in case you have issues. Most roms work well with both, but some roms (under 10% I'd guess) play nicer with one than the other.

Don't know what the most up to date superuser .zip is, but here's the latest SuperSU .zip, which will do the same thing.
SuperSU 1.94.zip

If that doesn't work, try an older version from the SuperSU thread here. Seems I recall someone else having issues flashing the latest SuperSU to their phone, but an older version worked fine, for whatever reason.

Thanx I'll give this a try when I get home :thumbup::thumbup:

Can you give more info about your phone? ROM (really only need to know if you're on new partitions), method of unlock & S-off, versions of HBOOT & TWRP or other recovery? I've had issues flashing .zips with certain HBOOT/TWRP combinations even while being HTC-dev unlock and firewater S-off, which is (according to others more competent than I) the ideal unlock/s-off combo.

Perhaps it would be helpful to others that are having the same problem if you explained what the problem was and how you went about fixing it.

Flash Failure

Hey guys I have a note ii but one of my friends has an HTC One and she's having some trouble and I am unfamiliar with HTC stuff and need some help. She rooted and unlocked and has TWRP installed. I've tried flashing Roms thru TWRP and I can only get a stock build to flash sucessfully and even that failed on the first try but when I try to flash clean ROM it always fails and won't work. Any ideas what's going on? Thanks

Possibly an outdated twrp recovery. Try installing the newest version and see how that goes.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
What all are you wiping in twrp? What rom are you trying to flash? Maybe she needs s-off?
Sent from my HTC One
Is her one S-off? If not, I believe you'll need to flash the bootIMG/kernel seperately thru fastboot . I'm guessing cuz I have HTC Evo LTE and it's the sane way if you're not S-off.
If you're unfamiliar, I bet there's guides stickied in general or Q&A.
Good luck.

I wipe everything when I do it. I've been rooting for a long time now and I'm pretty good but I've never owned an HTC device so I'm not sure how to check if she has s-off but she is rooted. I was able to flash a bone stock 4.3 ROM but I couldn't get clean ROM to flash

Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
You Do NOT need s-off to flash any current ROM's on the one. And you don't have to flash kernels separately like on older htc phones, so don't worry about that.
Honestly I really don't see why your having trouble with clean rom... What exactly is it doing when you try to flash it?

It was a PM75IMG that had the stock (no root) Rom, stock recovery, basically put everything back to stock minus the bootlader.

That one is stock no root?
Sounds like a plan either way. If I stumble across an s-off stock fastboot I will send it your way.

From what I can tell it's all stock, just have to use his s-on script after. So it must be everything.

Help with droid dna root

I unlocked the phone using rumrunner, and then loaded cwm recovery. I then installed the superuser, and it appears to succeed. Then I checked root with root checker and it said sorry you don't have proper root. I have checked my steps again and again, but am still pretty new to htc.

are you s-off?
what version of SuperSu did you flash? What Rom are you running? The latest SuperSU 1.94? Doesn't work for 4.2.2. If your S-off why and have CWM recovery why not flash a custom rom?
I am trying to do just that. I can't really find any up to date info to help me step by step, so I am piecing together the newest info I can find. I am a little confused right now. Stuck on trying to root. I flashed superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip

Do I need to root to load a custom rom? Is s-off =root on htc? I guess I have deleted everything off the phone and now it is stuck at the white htc screen. I can get to recovery but did not perform any backups. I can get to bootloader and recovery and I guess need to sideload a rom. I haven't had time the last few days to try anything new. Thanks for the input, I need to fix my dna so I can get off of this note 2 I don't like. I don't understand why htc doesn't sell better.... my dna was the **** before I ruined it!
S-off is secure flag removed meaning you can install unsigned firmware (eng hboot) unlocked means you can write to system partition and other secure partitions. Root means you have an app (like supersu) able to have other apps execute admin (root for Linux) commands. If you have cwm installed, just side load a pre rooted Rom from development sections.

Thanks, I will try the sideload. Any ideas where I can find such a rom. Oh wait I think I s-on ed trying to fix it.... will I still be able to fast boot USB and unlock again for s-off? I sure hope so.

Hi everyone,
I have received a OTA update for my one max the other day for sense 6.
It keeps failing. My bootloader has been unlocked and relocked. Could this be why it keeps failing? I'm still on the stock recovery , unrooted.

I am not sure if you can access this folder without being rooted but you can give it a try. No harm in it. If it works, fine or you always have an option to flash custom recovery.

I did, and I still got the same error. "No such file or directory"
I must be getting the path wrong. It says checking system, data/preload/tunein.apk
I think maybe I need to create that file on the system folder, but it's not visible from my pc and I won't save on my phone, (I think because I don't have root)
Any idea's?? I appreciate your help so far dude [emoji106]

Your computer wont be able to see system folder/files. You need a root browser from play store to do the trick for you. You need to create a preload folder un System/data using root browser. I believe you need to have root access in order to do these steps and for this you'll need a unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and super user flashed.

Hi, thanks again for your previous help!
I'm still battling away with this thing trying to get S-OFF so I can relock bootloader and get my finger print scanner working.
Firewater and rumrunner don't seem to work, they both say I need a different (unsecured) kernal. I've tried flashing one, and almost bricked my phone......
Not sure where to go from here?
Any suggestions would be awesome.

Like I said earlier, I did S-Off when I was on 2.47 hboot and I didn't need any Insecure Kernel. I am not sure if 2.49 would require an insecure kernel to S-Off with fire water.
I will read that forum for you to find out if you would need an Insecure Kernel and will let you know. In the mean time you keep searching as well my friend.
