    On your PC download the SuperSU zip file needed to root the device which you can get here.  Save it to an easy to find location such as your desktop but do not extract it.

    You need to save the TWRP file on to the HTC One in the same place that you saved the Fastboot and ADB files from step 1 when you unlocked the bootloader.

    8. Once it has finished restart the HTC One.

    Step 4 – Root the HTC One

    To do this you first need to download the SuperSU zip file which is located here.

    Save this to your computer in a safe place.

    Connect the HTC One to your PC and copy the SuperSU zip file you just downloaded to the HTC One (for example, to the Downloads folder).

    Once you have done that turn off the HTC One completely. It is time to flash SuperSU and root the phone which is done using the following steps.

    1. Power off the HTC One completely.
    2. Put the HTC One in Fastboot mode as given in the previous step.
