$

0
After much fun and games I have managed to root my new One SV, so now I am writing up a quick walkthrough to make life easier on those who follow.
[B]Please note, this CAN and slightly DOES brick your phone. Do not proceed if you are not confident in your ability.[/B
Any damages caused are your own problem and I withhold any liability for any future issues caused by this process

The steps are as follows.
1: Unlock your phone at the htcdev site, follow the instructions on the site

2: Download the following two files. ClockworkMod Recovery and Superuser.zip

3: reboot your phone into hboot and then into fastboot if you are not already there

4:
Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this is presuming the recovery.img is in the same directory as fastboot, you can either move it or point the code to it directly

5: open recovery. Please note, while the up and down arrows work, the power button does not, so you can't actually control it.

6:
Code:

adb shell
7:
Code:

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p33 /system
8:
Code:

exit
9: extract su and superuser.apk from the superuser zip file

10:
Code:

adb push su /system/bin
(again assuming the files are in the same dir)

11:
Code:

adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
12:
Code:

adb shell
13:
Code:

chown root /system/bin/su
14:
Code:

chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
15:
Code:

reboot
16: Congratulations, your phone should now be rooted, go have fun with the ability to access your phone properly!
