THIS PROCEDURE IS OBSOLETE! THIS VIDEO WAS POSTED OVER A YEAR AGO. Write Protection should NO LONGER be an issue in later Android builds for the HTC One M7.
The ZIP that you install in this video, will install the latest busybox, superSU, and superuser binary. No need to install busybox manually, no need to manually update the binary, and etc.
I MANUALLY installed an OLDER SuperSU (after applying viperboy’s zip), ONLY to show that you CAN update your binary, without using TWRP… AFTER installing viperboy’s zip… That allows you to write to the /system. Your phone won’t say there is an update available (at the time of recording), since it already has the latest binary. That part was simply to show that you COULD NOW write to the /system.
Without this, you will not be able to make any changes to your system (like updating your binary, removing system apps, and etc). So this video is going to be essential. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND flashing this zip to your HTC One. Hopefully rom devs will include it with their roms.

Or you can use this:
“What does this contain?
Everything necessary to install the latest SuperSU and supporting files
Install latest busybox in recovery
A ported wp_mod.ko module for this kernel
A script to start wp_mod.ko
A modified boot.img – insecured (allows for remounting of /system to rw when in Android), enabled USB debugging by default, and added busybox run-parts (alows scripts to run during boot).
What is /system rw protection?
HTC now keeps you from writing to /system through the kernel. When you try to modify anything in /system, you’ll get a reboot. This cannot be fixed until there is source available, so this method by flar2 works wonderfully.
How is this different from this method?
TWRP’s method is great, but it doesn’t disable /system rw protection. This means that you will still experience issues when modifying /system when booted into Android (deleting/adding files, updating SuperSU binary, etc). I would recommend my flashable .zip method!
Can I use this if I already installed SuperSU from TWRP?
Yes, you can flash this with no issues.”

***** Android Rooting/Modifying Disclaimer *****
You are making these modifications to your device. You understand that I can’t be held responsible if you do not follow directions and brick your device. You are the only person responsible if you brick your device, as you’re the one choosing to modify your devices. You are voiding your warranty by rooting, making modifications, and install custom roms. There is a SOFT BRICK where you can recover your device with an RUU, SBF, TAR, or etc. Then there is a HARD BRICK where you can NOT recover your device and have to pay FULL PRICE for a new phone. I encourage you to watch the WHOLE VIDEO before following along and continuing to void your warranty. In most cases you can unvoid your warranty by flashing back to stock, as your carrier (in most cases) will NOT be able to tell you ever modified your device. You have been warned! Rooting (most of the time) is safe and a lot of times, noob proof. But not following directions CAN result in a soft or hard brick. Thank you for listening, if you read all of this!
