I'm a little hesitant to try a root method originally for the m8 then modified for the 816 or something, on my brand new one day old desire 610. Can anyone verify that it works? Does anyone have any information on whether htc will specifically add unlock support for our device? I've already got rom ideas if we can get it unlocked and rooted for sure.

Numerous rooting tools and methods but no luck whatsoever. I tried and I tried. I am not a developer so I can't help with the root. If someone has any information about this, please share it with the rest of us.

None method doesn't work. You must unlock bootloader first, but that's one more problem. I trying to unlock bootloader, but no succes. I was contact HTCDev, and they told me that sim lock is the problem probably. So, do you have simlock to your provider?
They haven't contacted me back yet. But no, I haven't unlocked my sim card yet.
Out of curiosity, which method did you try to unlock yours?

I have tried weaksauce and towelroot without success on a Desire 610. Weaksauce worked on early M8's, and Towelroot works on a variety of platforms, but not the Desire. Towelroot produced a reboot to bootloader. Weaksauce just doesn't do anything.

If htc unlocks our bootloader, I should be able to root with no problems. Just need to make that happen first on my own unit lol

The biggest problem is locked bootloader (S-ON). If we have unlocked bootloader, root would not be a problem. So, we must wait.
I was able to accomplish root; however, the device I had is s-off.
But flashing an insecure kernel gave temporary root access. I'll try to write p an executable tonight.
This was tested on brightstart devices.

Hi guys
I'm not sure if this method will root your phone without going through the hassle of HTCDev.com to unlock your boot loader - at least the post on XDA portal implied such
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc-super-tool-the-latest-all-in-one-for-your-htc-device/
I can not tried the method since my phone already unlocked through HTCDev.com but you are welcome to tried the method though
Here is the program

Please report back the result. If this is truth then it'll be a good news for our WIND and Telus fellows whom got stucked with HTCDev
Again, I'm unable to tried the method and just though I should share the news

Looks to work for temp root but still cannot unlock the bootloader, links over to htcdev. All the same it looks to be a great tool! I'm sure once you're lucky enough to have an unlocked boot loader it'll be a must have, I'm with Telus and sadly waiting for htc to let me be free as Google intended..

Hey guys, can you explain in short and SIMPLE terms the difference regarding the results of these 2 rooting methods in the DEV Sticky:
1. [ROOT] RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter | Updated 06.04.12 Automated root
method. Unlock with custom recovery and superuser.
2. How to Root HTC Evo 4G LTE! [Windows/Mac/Linux] - by Zedomax
does one give more access or is preferable over the other? or will both give you the same result with a different way achieving it?
Help would be appreciated!!! THANKS!
I think one is just for Windows and as easy as clicking the file open, while the other is a little more complicated because you have to do a few quick commands, but it does work on all systems, Win/Mac/Linux
Could be wrong though.
edit: Woops, I think the RegawMOD will give you a custom recovery as well, while the other Zedomax just gives root.
The first method actually unlocks the device with HTC and adds a custom recovery(TWRP)so that you can flash ROMs and whatnot. The second option just roots and installs superuser and busybox.

I think Zedomax just roots your device and regawMod roots and unlocks your device with HTC dev. All depends what u want ... Root only or root and unlock
Regawmod does access the unlock features from HTC dev and will void your HTC company warranty but will allow you to install roms because it also installs a custom recovery

Regaws method gives you an unlocked bootloader a custom recovery superuser and busybox. Where as zedomaxes only gives you superuser and busybox and you have to go to htcdev.com to unlock your bootloader manually to install a custom recovery of your choice. In all honesty go with regaws method its super fast and super easy its litterally one click and it runs itself. I was one his testers and it was by far the most painless root and unlock ive ever done.

Yes, you can run Regaws right over Zedomaxs root.

So since both go through HTCDev and store your phone's serial number, it really doesn't matter if you use Zedomax first vs. using Regaw's method (which uses dummy HTCDev accounts). I only want to make sure because I'd prefer to do a TB backup before wiping my phone.
But I thought unlocking w/ HTCDev wiped data, so if they both do that, is there any way to back up my apps before I root?

In addition to what's been said above, I suggest downloading both and closely examining the code.
Then, try to understand each step (or ask if you don't), then do it manually. Understanding the steps will help you in the future if/when there are problems.

I got a clarification on root.
If I just unlock the bootloader from htcdev, can I use adb tools to push the supersuer.apk into /system/app?. Does this method require a stock ATT boot.img?
I know there is no recovery for ATT, so don't want to brick the phone, but I wanted to know if unlocking the bootloader will give R/W on system partition or does a insecure boot.img needs to be flashed?
Any help?

TWRP has a revocery up for the ATT HOX+
I dont believe there are any ATT safe roms yet though.
I plan on only unlocking the bootloader from HTCdev (in fear that att might stop that over the air) and then just wait around a bit until a safe rom shows up.

I'll second that, I was able to root my AT&T HOX+ with the All-in-one. I'm a newbie at this, and am having trouble flashing ROMS on, but I'll try and figure it out at some point. Over in the "Android Development" section, a couple of people posted ROMs that should work with the AT&T and Telus versions. I'm not sure what S-off is, but is this keeping me from flashing ROMS?
Without flashing a custom kernel for that Rom first yes. This is why I hate having b new phone after the initial launch. All the good stuff is still in alpha and beta. Waited 6 months to get the inspire then a year to root it. Just for those reasons but I was late to the party as devs moved on. Sick twisted games we play

Unlocked the bootloader through HTCdev today, and then rooted it. Was really easy.
Though I imagine since AT&T has said that the bootloader will eventually not be allowed to be unlocked, that it'll probably be nice to get it done sooner than later once you get your device.
HTC will block it per ATT instructions. Better unlock asap lol

There is a link for a flashable ZIP file that worked perfectly with the HTC One.
Whatever CWM recovery came with that toolkit in the international forums is what I used.
I believe technically, the international and AT&T One devices are the same, so almost anything in the international forum should also work with the AT&T One.

Why not root and unlock the bootloader? It's not like you can't put it back to stock. Then you'd be on the latest and greatest.

Yeah I'm wondering that too, do we use the M7 version or the ATT one? I'm assuming the M7 because the Tmo version is no different than the international version.
I used the m7 version last night. Worked great. Note sitting on the stock firmware with cwm touch and root. Needed to get rid of all the junk apps

Just want root access, not the custom recovery/ROMs
I'd like to have root access to my HTC One, so that I can use Titanium Backup. That's really the only reason I rooted my Tmobile Samsung Vibrant (for that, I used SuperOneClick).
I found this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
How do I use this program to maintain the stock recovery and just grant root access?
Is it possible to do the following?:
1- follow the prerequisites in the "To root the phone. Follow in order" and click Go.
2- Skip "Next, flash a recovery."
3- Flash Kernal
4- Run "Perm Root"
Will that work? If not, what do I need to do to get what I want?
I'm not interested in custom ROMs and I don't want to worry about screwing something up. I use wifi calling, and it's important that I have it.
