[Verizon HTC One (M7)] airjordanmmix:
this is the file i downloaded

First thing you should do is install drivers(if not installed already) I included them, choose the correct drivers for your Operating System(64bit or 32bit) for your computer.

Visit www.htcdev.com to unlock your bootloader,login or create an account, select "Unlock Bootloader",click "Get Started",from the drop down window below "Supported Devices" choose "All Other Supported Models", click "Begin Unlock Bootloader".You just follow the prompts from there.(see below for steps 5-10)

Now that you are unlocked you can flash TWRP recovery (I have included the latest version or the latest version can be downloaded here I'll add a link here when it becomes available)

To run all cmd commands just click the cmd shortcut I provided

Reboot into bootloader by holding down Volume Down and Power button for 10 seconds. When your phone reboots, let go of the Power button for 1 second then hold it down again

Once in bootloader, choose “FASTBOOT”, hit the Power button, then plug-in your microUSB cable from your phone to computer.

Installing TWRP

Now type "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.1-m7vzw.img" without the quotes and press enter

Now type "fastboot erase cache" without the quotes and press enter

This will install custom TWRP recovery on your phone so you can start flashing custom ROMs.

Installing CWM v6.0.3.x

Uncheck fastboot in the rom in power options

Turn phone completely off

Boot into HBOOT>Fastboot

Use command "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-m7vzw.img" without the quotes or

"fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.4-m7vzw.img" also without the quotes

Now type "fastboot erase cache" without the quotes and press enter

Now Choose “BOOTLOADER” and hit the Power button.

Choose “RECOVERY” and hit the Power button.

Choose “Install” in TWRP or CWM Recovery. Choose the Superuser program you want and swipe(TWRP)it's been a while since I used CWM you know what to do :D to install it. This will give your HTC One-Sprint root and Superuser app.

Choose “Reboot System” to reboot.

Once rebooted, you should be all good to go, you now have unlocked bootloader, TWRP or CWM v6.0.3.x recovery, and fully-rooted phone.

htcdev notes:

Step 1: Remove and reinsert the battery then proceed to step 2. For devices without a removable battery, long press the power key then select restart. Hold down the volume down key while restarting to start the device in Bootloader mode.

Step 2: Press Volume Down and Power to start the device into Bootloader mode.

Step 3: Use the Volume buttons to select up or down. Highlight Fastboot and press the Power button.

Step 4: Connect the device to the computer via a usb cable

Step 5: is not need you can use this file in place of Android-SDK (but you may want to download it anyways you never know when you might need it)

Step 6: Open up command prompt- If using Windows Vista or Windows7 you can press shift and right click the folder and choose open command window here
