Sprint HTC One - Root without HTCDev unlock

[dadaR6]

Most methods I saw, just unlock with HTCDev and install SuperUser. I did not find any (that still work) without unlocking the bootloader first.

Is there anyway to root the device without having first to unlock with HTCDev?

This is an old thread, but I am back to this issue in a slightly different environment. I am now S-OFF with bootloader locked. I installed the latest stock Sprint RUU and lost my root.

How can I root it without unlocking the bootloader with HTCDev (I would prefer to keep the stock recovery too)?

I don't think it can be done without unlocking the bootloader.

I was able to do it with the RUU/zip method. I packaged my custom recovery image into a zip and an android info file then flashed it. Once the custom recovery was in, I could use it to flash SuperSU. I then flashed back the original recovery using the same method.
