- The Boot loader mode in HTC One can be entered by pressing Volume UP Key + OK button, and holding both simultaneously press the Power Button. If the phone boots in the normal mode then you need to try again to enter into the boot loader mode.
- Up next in the boot loader mode, you need to select “recovery” so as to enter into the recovery mode. In recovery mode, select Wipe data/factory reset and Wipe Cache partition for clearing all the cache data present in the device.
- In Recovery Mode, select “install zip from …” and then you need to select the Recovery Zip file which you have placed in your phone in the initial step.
- As soon as the recovery file is updated, you need to select the option of “REBOOT SYSTEM NOW” for rebooting the device in the normal mode. Please note that it will take around 5- 6 minutes to boot the device as it will be the first time the device will be booting after rooting.
To check whether the device is rooted or not, you need to download the “Root Checker” app from the Google PLAY Store and check the same.
