[GUIDE] Root for HTC One SV

Now quicker and easier!


Please note, this CAN brick your phone. Do not proceed if you are not confident in your ability.
Any damages caused are your own problem and I withhold any liability for any future issues caused by this process


Just a small note, I am aware of the screen in recovery moving, this is because of HTC's framebuffer method, I haven't been able to fix it yet.
1: Unlock your phone at the htcdev site, follow the instructions on the site


2: Download the following two files. Download either ClockworkMod Recovery for ICS OR Clockworkmod Recovery for JB depending on which version you are on and Superuser.zip, Move the Superuser.zip to somewhere on your phone's SD card.

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.

6: Flash the superuser.zip through recovery

7: reboot

8: Congratulations, your phone should now be rooted, go have fun with the ability to access your phone fully!

Edit: Here is a copy of the stock recovery recovery_signed.img

Also, due to the current issues I still haven't had the time to fix I'd suggest using the TWRP recovery for the time being.
