How To Root HTC One M7 Using Custom Recovery?

Updated on September 1, 2017

Do you own a HTC One?! Then you are probably very lucky! Your android phone can be rooted in a fairly easy way. And then on, you can make use of all the privileged uses of your device.

The basic idea behind HTC One root is to flash a recovery and boot into it to install the SuperUser package from within. Okay, with no much delay, we go to the process. But even before that remember that we will be temporarily ‘booting’ the device into a recovery and installing the package, rather than permanently flashing a broken recovery.
