this thread is intended to be a "one stop shop" for rooting any variation of the HTC One.
currently,the known method of rooting is to unlock the bootloader via htcdev,then use a custom recovery to install superuser root files. htcdev's directions can be a lil confusing,so hopefully this will clear it up if youve never rooted a phone,worked with the command window,or are just confused about how to set things up with your PC/mac/linux machine.
PLEASE NOTE that the unlock process will erase your personal data. this was done purposely,for your protection.
the general steps are simple:
1)unlock the bootloader (for non-developer editions)
2)either temporarily or permantly install a custom recovery
3)use that custom recovery to install "superuser" root files.
