Root HTC One on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean using SuperSU

Has your most ardent desire been to root HTC One for a long time now? You can finally fulfill it with a tutorial we wrote a couple of days ago. We added, in it, all of our usual ingredients such as pre-requisites and list of steps. They should be easy enough to follow. If not, tell us and we’ll explain better.

SuperSU is the name of the instrument that shall help us today. It was put together by a developer, naturally, so everything should be safe. Once your phone is rooted, you can finally experience that Android version you’ve dreamed of, flash custom ROMs as well as root apps and many other great things.

Here we go: charge the battery of the HTC One, create a backup using this guide, use a phone that’s been factory unlocked, turn on USB debugging on the handset and, final requirement, go to your laptop and install USB Drivers for this particular smartphone.

The steps that follow next are shown below.

Important instructions

  1. Here is the first one of them: after the file from above is on your computer, you need to plug the phone to the latter. Then, after they are intertwined, you have to copy and paste the SuperSU Root archive to the memory card of the HTC One.

Once you are sure that everything went well, you should go ahead and explore the possibilities opening in front of your eyes.
