Root One SV Root - Out of touch

[greenstarthree]

Hi All,

A friend has asked me to help root his HTC One SV, but it's been a while since I rooted my own HTC Desire. Back then I was pretty well versed in the process but having looked around the forums I now appear to be out of touch with the terminology somewhat!

It's a UK model One SV bought through T-Mobile, running Android 4.2.2. I've gotten to the point where I'm ready to unlock the bootloader (using the HTC Dev site) but stopped at the warning that the phone will be factory reset so we're going to make a few more backups first, just in case.
Then I have a copy of a Clockworkmod recover which I can flash, and a SuperUser.zip file to install, all as per the instructions here:

How to Root the HTC One SV | TheUnlockr

But what I'm not sure of when searching the forums are the references to Boost, Cricket, K2_U etc. Can someone advise me how I would find out what type this SV is?
I really just want to make sure I've got compatible versions of everything so I don't brick his phone!

If any details or version numbers are needed please just let me know.

Thanks everybody

ok.... I'm officially hijacking my own thread...!

I managed to get root on the SV, the guide I posted in the link worked fine. Now my question is - can I use something like Link2SD to allow space for more apps, as I used to on my old Desire?

I'm just using the rooted stock 4.2.2 (Sense 5) ROM at the moment.

Thanks again

U could swap internal and SD memory.
