How to root google play edition.

[Jimm129]

I have been trying to root my google play edition but unable to unlock boot loader. Is it even possible to root this because some people say you can't on the google play edition phone.

I think this is EXACTLY what you're looking for.

Have you tried any of the tools or custom ROMs?

I am getting the same error. I even flashed the 4.2.2 RUU and still same error. I fully converted my AT&T HTC One. Anyone have any ideas ?

IF u want root, use Towelroot. Than reboot and insall superSU.
