Helium (formerly Carbon) can backup app data without root, as long as you can plugin to your pc once. Correct me if I'm wrong jcase, but it basically uses the adb backup/restore with a nicer UI, does it not? that's my layman's understanding... not trying to demean the app at all...

Kernel help

I was fortunate enough to act quickly on release date and have successfully unlocked my HTC one on Verizon with twrp recovery that is working alright but I really am interested in installing the kernel bulletproof or the more advanced elementalx for the sole purpose of assigning the HTC logo in the center bottom of the phone into a menu button. The other benefits would be nice as well but for some reason whenever I install any of those two kernels, my phone will not boot pay the Verizon logo. It just pops upa message eventually that the system process had stalled and gives me the iron to wait or end it. Either results in a dark screen and a need to force reboot. Any ideas on how to get this seemingly awesome kernel onto the Verizon Verizon of this phone successfully? At this point in time the rooted vzw htc one is not even that customizable as it seems all the good stuff was designed for either gsm or s-off modded bootloaders.????
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] abrego47:
you can't use a kernel from another carrier! in order to boot all the way through either reflash the original rom! i haven't seen any kernel's to use on the verizon one

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cbrown245:
You can still get the unlock key for each phone on HTC dev , but you can't use the site to unlock the bootloader . So in essence we have the key in the lock but nobody is there to turn it lol .
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dspcap:
What does that mean exactly?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cbrown245:
You can get the unlock key from the HTC site , but it will not give you the unlock_code.bin which is what unlocks the bootloader , but someone who is much smarter than me should be able to figure out a way around this .
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rmaccamr:
I wonder if the unlock_code.bin is device specific to the MID. I guess it would have to be considering how long it's been without an exploit, but sometimes things are right in front of your nose.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] exzacklyright:
so can this phone be rooted or not? I want to be able to use greenify and titanium backup...

Not currently, unless you managed to get an unlock code on Day 1.

I only "need" root for backup and occasional tether (every couple of months). Looks like helium and foxfi fill these needs.

Romming isn't as exciting as it used to be. Some good devs out there but really, these phones work so much better stock than they used to.

On that note, I'm sure I will unlock it if an exploit is ever found (always have, even the rezound paperclip method). Only caveat is I joined the edge program so I plan on swapping everytime I can to try everything out there.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] faylix:
Honestly I can't wait to flash a Rom with a more stock Google experience - or MIUI. I never really loved this sense stuff.

I would really like to see cyanogen on this phone. Maybe even a little over clocking or user designed cpu scaling.

Very sad to find myself late to the party and missing the unlock.

I mean this phone runs so well stock - is can only imagine how sleek it would be all cleaned up without this bloatware.

Certainly willing to donate to any dev that gets us to the kernal flashing stage.

Wondering, could the unlock bin be modified to work on another phone? If we could backwards compare some of the unlock bin files people managed to get with the HTC keys. I wonder if we could simply insert the correct HTC key via hex editor or something like that.

I understand the above is probably silly and HTC probably uses the device key to hash out a device specific unlock code and we would have to have a lot of unlock bins and codes to tease out what the exact hash was... But it's worth a thought right?

Why do you need to overclock a phone that never lags?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cbrown245:
Here is the question of the day ,,, why do we need to unlock the bootloader ? Why cant we just use moonshine or rev one to s-off ( unlocked bootloader is not required )?? And then install recovery , then install a rooted Rom ?? Or did I miss something ?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
None of those support the newer 1.54 bootloader version as of their current state.

The Verizon HTC One is not the only One with this new 1.54 bootloader either, so they are aware of it and have been for over a month.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcase:
CID is an string identifying which carrier the device is on. It was (probably still is) stored in /dev/block/mmcblk0p5. After our HTC DNA unlock, they started write protecting it in newer firmwares.

You may find the same string elsewhere, like in MISC, however that is the BCID and not the CID.

You need to remove write protection to edit the CID

Generated. Doesn't work. Pretty sure the gold card thing got patched a while ago but I tried anyways.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcase:
javacard is not a gold card.

javacard is a specialized secured sdcard with a microprocessore

gold card is a normal sdcard, and if memory serves right, its just formatted with the UUID of the some device backwards or something (pretty sure memory doesnt serve me exactly right). It is not a javacard, and is no longer used by htc. It used to be used to allow flashing of firmware to a device with a different CID.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cbrown245:
I did not mean they were identical , but they can do pretty much the same thing . Just done differently , goldcard is older tech , but the guy trying to sell me a javacard sent me a video showing a goldcard in action but the process is pretty much the same . He was using an XTC Clip along with the goldcard though.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
jcase just explained to you how this is a goldcard and is just an sdcard.

sdcard is not java card (even though they look alike..)

a java card alone is very expensive
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcase:
The XTC clip is what is acting similar to a javacard, the goldcard aspect is because some of the DIAG files that XTC clip uses have different CIDs, the gold card is allowing them to work on devices with matching models but non matching CIDs
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] End0fLine:
hi all, I picked up my One last week. I was just wondering how the prospects look for a successful root and developer support (ROMs etc). I am asking because I bought mine at full retail price (in order to keep my unlimited data plan). As much as I love this phone, I dont want to be stuck with a $600 piece of hardware that I can't really customize as much as I did with my previous phones. I am still within my return window period and am considering going for the Moto X. Any input is much appreciated!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mcampos7:
There have always been bumps in the road when it comes to unlocking. There have been for every phone I've had anyway. If it isn't unlocking, it's s-Offing. I guarantee this phone will get both and I think there will be crazy developer support.IMO the phone is bad ass enough to run stock for as long as it takes to get root. Granted, I am rooted, and I'd be even more stuck to this thread if I wasn't. Look at it like this... Arguably the best ROM out right now for the VZW One is NOS... It's not all that different from stock.... some tweaks and some bloat removed. Not to discredit a great Dev, but not much needs to be done to this phone out of the box.

So, sit back, watch the show, enjoy a BA stock phone for a little longer, and sooner than later we will get you unlocked. I think if you return it, you'll regret it... and root would prolly come the next day! ha. That's my two cents on it. Take it as you may..........
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
well if reading the forums, ud see S-OFF is possible but at a price and you need to send your phone to the guy to have it done, he is legit though.

or, wait it out for root.

or get a diff phone

I wouldnt worry about this phone NOT getting root IMHO
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 123421342:
I hope either people stop complaining, not you Andy, or they get banned it's really annoying and drives away devs. I think any exploit that is discovered will be held until the new updates come. Please do not update people if you want root.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] OFish202:
That makes sense. Why risk getting it patched by releasing it to early. I'm mopping up what your spilling!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Thank you, Sir!

Exactly, perfectly said. There always comes a update usually soon after phone releases to kill off buggies they missed, it would be like just giving them the exploit. and yea OTA. for the SGS4, they specifically made an update that literally didn't update jack besides take root away. There was some changes but nothing significant, it was mainly to screw those who don't know better and anyone needing refurb in the future, pretty much set the pace for that phone being a DUD
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] buckmarble:
It's really crappy that they did that. Unfortunately because of that fact the dev the community *could* grow very thin for the s4. Hopefully the safestrap takes off and offers close to the same functionality.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcase:
Why is fixing a security vulnerability "crappy"? I have never understood this view point, its pretty much their only option.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
First time I have been able to agree with you. Fixing a vulnerability is a good thing even if we use it to gain root.

Sonic2756 had my phone today and I now have S-off. He's definitely legit !!

After the javacard S-OFF can i flash a recovery image using the "Flash Image GUI" app or use "GOO". Does the rom flashing procedure change at all ( I'm guessing not ). Any direction would be appreciated.

nope, to use pc backup its 5 bucks and didn't work.

Did backups just of games. Installed these backups on my ONE, rebooted and nothing restored even though helium said it was successful.

I haven't found anything online that actually restores backups properly without root.

All the more reason to send the phone to South Park.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
there is root exploit easily out there from my understanding..

it's the fact that the phone is locked bootloader state.

Once unlocked we'd have root is basically what it means.

so technically it's worthless as it stands alone.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] WorldOfJohnboy:
I have used Helium since it was called Carbon. Here's the blurb on the app:

On a personal note, I have used Helium on about 6 different devices (Droid DNA, Note II, multiple S4s, and HTC One; all Verizon). Backed up to cloud, SD Card, internal storage, and also used the "Sync" part and all have worked VERY well.

The only thing you need to do if you are not Rooted is to plug the phone into your PC, install the Desktop App, fire up the Android app and the Desktop App and you can then disconnect your phone and backup/restore until you reboot your phone. (Then you just have to repeat the process to get Helium to work again.)

My need for Root has lessened since I found Helium. Now my only motivation is to freeze/remove Bloatware, but you can do that using the native Application Manager for many of the the Bloatware apps.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:

Htc one Verizon s-off

Hi guys,

Despite being lucky enough to have rooted within a few hours of the Verizon release of the HTC one, I saw disappointed that I was still unable to install kernel updates to my phone, so I sent it out to sonic to be s-off 'd and ask went fine. Unfortunately, I am still unable to successfully flash either bulletproof nor elementalx regardless of us the regular or sprint variation of the kernel, no matter how I try the phone so not boot post the HTC logo and then I am forced to perform a wipe and subsequently a restore of a working backup. Needless to say I am very frustrated and wish someone would let me in on the secret on how to get either of those awesome kernels to load to my Verizon handset.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Those kernels were made for a GSM device, except for the Sprint version which likely varies from what our kernel source is.

We have yet to be given source from HTC/Vzw for our device.

If any of the Bulletproof kernels were going to work without any modfication on the stock rom, it would be this one:

HTC Sense 5 or Google Play Edition Android 4.2.2

Bulletproof-m7-4.4

But chances are the mount points may even be slightly different, I haven't even looked at theirs vs. ours yet.

Essentially you will wanna wait until we have kernel source and/or custom made kernels for our specific device.

So there is nothing magic you need to do unless you can make HTC timely with Verizon kernel source. (that would be some magic) :good:

Most things that are posted to be for all versions of the One are going to be geared towards GSM models and depending on what the mod/kernel/rom may be, will vary on whether it can be applied to our cdma/lte version of the One or not, or maybe it will need to be slightly modified.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 2GsNoS:
Progress

While this is true about not being able (any longer) to obtain the unlocked bootloader via the official htc portal as stated above, the has been a good deal of progress with all credit going to user name sonic2754, who had the foresight to purchase a "java card" that has a set number of credits for performing various deep operations on htc devices as though it were in the factory. I sent my phone to this smart fellow in Denver, and got it back very shortly thereafter, the only difference being that my phone now has s-off.!! Accordingly, the ability to supercid is incorporated, allowing one to set a Cid of 11111111. Then, go ahead and visit the htc developers portal and select other devices. File the steps and generate your unlock . bin file, proceed to unlock the bootloader, then, for safety sake, go back into bootloader fast-forward and change the Cid back to VZW__001. In this way, one is able (as I currently am now writing this message from a Verizon htc one that has gone through the above process successfully unlocked and with s-off).

Now with that being said, how the f@#k am I gonna get this kernel loaded in such a manner that at least logo to menu and swipe to lock /unlock work, fix those are the two that interest me most.... And the primary reason I have jumped through all the hoops I have so far up until now. It simply Must Be possible

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

Furthermore, while I totally get and understand the whole gsm versus lte gig you've made clear above (thanks for that, by the way), I am a little confused as to how modifying a hardware button or gesture should be different, Despite the type of radio contained within the device... But I guess there just are forces at work here trying to complicate things for me no matter how I try to get this functionalityiI run into a roadblock... Cheap

The Next Step

So i have S-Off, Unlocked, & Rooted with rumrunner (beaups = like a boss). i had difficulty installing TWRP,my adb was good, it wrote to the recovery, but it would just go to pink recovery lettering, then just reboot, no matter what TWRP i tried ( i used the ones specifically for this phone). So i nstalled flyhalfs CWM (flyhalfs = like a boss) and that took, so i know have CWM as my main recovery. My question is, can i use CWM to recover the stock rom if i havent written a new rom to the phone yet. Or did that go away once i installed CWM. if i cant, thats fine, i was thinking of installing bonestock anyways, i like the senseUI, just hate the bloat and garbage that comes along with it. Thank You
