[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
When I created this thread you guys were able to unlock your bootloader and within 2-3 hours I started see folks say they were blocked on htcdev :(

But I did notice beaups popped in the thread so... I'm guessing him and his team are working on a solution :fingers-crossed:

Sent from? :p
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] WorldOfJohnboy:
It's all good. It's progressively gotten worse with HTC and Verizon... It's bad enough the phone is 4 months late to the game, that they only offer it (currently) in 1 color and 1 storage size, but they block HTCDev within minutes or hours of release. Man, I love HTC phones, but Verizon really sucks the life out of the party... it's a shame that they offer the widest network coverage in my area, otherwise I'd be with AT&T, etc.

BTW, I am by no stretch of the imagination a Dev or expert, but it almost seemed like the exploit for the DNA did something like change the Identifier token and changed it to one that wasn't locked by HTCDev. (That's just what I sort of took away from it anyway.) I would have to assume the same method could be applied to the One.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Hand76:
Exactly and since I am going to pay for my next phone straight up to keep unlimited data and don't want to deal with all this locked bootloader crap I would like to get a developers edition of something unlocked already.

All I see on the horizon is the Moto X developers edition but...I mean really...that's it?

I would wait even longer for something else but what's the chance of getting a Nexus 5 on Verizon? Slim to none...Coverage is great but boy do I hate this Company.

Give me a HTC One Google Play Edition here...Yea right...Can't even get more than one ^&*(ing color!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] joshw0000:
I had intentions of picking up a One but I'm already losing interest. My Loki'ed S4 will do just fine until the N3 drops. And I'll brush it over if there's no exploit for it. Damn I hate that Verizon is locking these devices down to the point our developers can hardly get root. T-Mobile is starting to look tempting.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Vidfreek:
T-Mobile would be tempting if I didnt drive around in 3 counties for my job, problem is for a lot of us is that Verizon is the best choice for what we need to do with our phones, but there is no reason that makes any sense as to why Verizon keeps blocking the ability to unlock the boot loader, it IS HTCs phone right? How can Verizon stop them from allowing this on their device? I just dont get it and I dont understand why Verizon even gives a crap, its stated everywhere that if you unlock your phone you void your warranty, its not like doing so messes up their network or other people or anything like that, all they have to do is check your phone (if you are dumb enough to take it in to them and try to get warranty repair) if its rooted/unlocked and they dont have to do anything for you. Its simple on both sides, so what reason to they have to keep doing this? NONE
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] joshw0000:
Yea, I threaten but I'd be pissed the first time I didn't have signal on TMO. I think the issue is all of the wasted labor with unlocked bootloaders. Undoubtebly people take these phones in for service and a rep will waste time working on it not knowing it's modified. Plus there's also the fact that most of these new Verizon phones are sim unlocked. All you'd need to do is root it, install APN Manager as a system app, and punch in some APN. It's now ready to use on competitors' networks.

We, as a mod'ing community make up such a small part of their overall business that they'd rather just lock the phone down and sell to average users. Look at all the Moto phones they just launched....dual core. Are we going backwards in technology? But people will buy them and call them the best because they get good signal (true about Moto's).
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Insertnamehere12:
is there anyway to adapt the SuperCID method from the Rezound / Dinc 4G to work with this phone?

IIRC they used the android backup feature to gain temp root to change the CID an then Dev unlock
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tedescop:
Does this method still work?

EDIT: Apparently NOT ugh
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
It works if you were one of the lucky few that were able to unlock

Sent from? :p
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Insertnamehere12:
What didn't work, the temp root or the CID unlock?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tedescop:
THANKS :eek:

Dev unlock on HTC site.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Insertnamehere12:
So you got temp root?

Did you pull an image of the misc to change the CID?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tedescop:
Since I wasn't able to unlock the Bootloader through the dev site I didn't want to mess with things.

Sent from my insane asylum ;)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] exzacklyright:
This is so frustrating. I want this phone... but not if I can't root/unlock it. I need to be able to restore my settings with titanium backup.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 123421342:
Pretty sure that's not how it worked. It used an exploit to get s off you can't just modify the token. I'm sure r they are working on one for the new hboot but who knows how long it will take it's not Verizon specific
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Vidfreek:
Well if you are like me and stuck on Verizon because of coverage or discounts or what have you, you arent going to have too much of a choice when it comes to newer phones on their service, its certainly not the end of the world if you cant restore everything from Titanium, I went from a fully rooted Galaxy S3 to the One a few days ago and havent been able to do anything like that and honestly it hasnt been bad at all. Sure I would like to have my titanium there but if I'm not constantly changing ROMs or anything what is the purpose of it? The Phone runs fantastic and I really havent had a need to do anything like Titanium anyhow.

I hope we get Root, but if it doesnt happen I still content with the phone, its the best phone I've owned hands down
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Mike02z:
I could not agree more. I had a fully unlocked, rooted Nexus then a fully unlocked and rooted S3. While I'm a crack flasher, I REALLY don't need to flash ROM's. I would like root but it's not a deal breaker for me. The positives far outweigh the negatives on this phone and I'm keeping mine. Unlockable or not.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] joqsan:
Does anyone's HTC One lag on the launcher a lot. I've tried all of them stock, apex, nova they all lag. Idk this phone seems to have a little bit more lag than the s4
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] williamweaver:
Mine is as smooth as ky jelly.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dspcap:
I notice it. I had the Motorola Maxx for a few days before this and that phone had less lag. There's like a second delay at times when opening things.

I'm hoping when it gets unlocked things will become smoother with other roms.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] joqsan:
I think overall this phone is way faster than the s4 though. Opening apps, on benchmarks everything else is lightening fast.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dspcap:
Never owned the s4. I saw a video comparison of the HTC one vs Moto X, the Moto x was faster. That's a dual core processor and this is a quad core. Surprised me a lot.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Can we take the OT stuff somewhere else please :thumbup:

Sent from? :p
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] WorldOfJohnboy:
Use Helium (formally known as Carbon). Basically, you can backup/restore app data without having a rooted phone. From the same Dev as ROM Manager, so it's got great support as well.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
If you mean"this" as-in what the thread id intended for..yes it will work if you are HTC-Dev unlocked.

But if you mean "this" as-in the links above please take the Off Topic chat somewhere else :D
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] WorldOfJohnboy:
Just a suggestion FWIW, but perhaps this should be closed (even temporarily) considering the OP no longer is valid... since there's really nothing to talk about, people are bound to go off topic.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] one4thewings:
Why is the OP no longer valid? If you S-OFF, this stuff is still valid. Since there is a means of getting S-OFF there is a means of using this tutorial. And in fact, I am.

In fact, OP, I see flyhalf just posted a link to a new TWRP.

Original version in the ZIP is:

openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.1-m7vzw.img

New version is:

In your opinion, is it fine to just replace your .img with the latest .img?

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
When I posted the guide you guys were able to unlock with HTC-Dev but that lasted about 3 hours then Verizon blocked it :thumbdown:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] WorldOfJohnboy:
S-Off exists only for those that want to send their phone to someone and pay for the services. As you can see by a couple of posts above, people think that the bootloader is unlockable via HTCDev, which anyone can do themselves. Was just hoping to stave off confusion and off-topic posts...

Minimally, I would say that the OP at least needs to be revised to state that HTCDev method is no longer available.

Question regarding my s-off situation

Hi to all, just wondering if I'm going to have a problem with my handset considering the chronology of events laid up to my handset being s-off 'ed in Denver by the genius sonic who was smart enough to have the foresight to obtain the developers java card that can preform the magic function we seem to be looking for (everyone).

I was one of the lucky ones who proteges the bootloader unlock via the official htc dev site before Verizon put a stop to it (I did it on the first day it was released within a few hours of getting the handset). That being said, when it came available the wonderful service by sonic to send in the phone to be s-off'ed, I ran to the post office and sent my phone to him. Is it a problem that I didn't return it to stock before having the Java card programming done in it?

I ask because upon receiving the phone back, I boot into bootloader and see s-off, but also see tampered as well as locked messages. So I booted into the system anyway and noticed that when I preform the basic root check program, I am in fact rooted, Despite the bootloader displaying locked. So, since I retained my unlock_code.bin generated during the hours when Verizon hadn't yet locked stuff down, I attempted to apply the unlock that way. I got a fail message. Then I realized Cid had been altered to all ones, so I followed the guide ask over again trying to generate a workable code for the device with the masked Cid, as supposed to according to sonic. Fail message that way too. Then, I decided to give it another final attempt and changed my Cid back to stock VZW__001 and apply my original unlock_code.bin... Guess what? To my surprise another fail message. What gives here? Did I NEED to revert back to none stock prior to sending my handset in for the magical s-off via sonics java card genius?

I have tried and successfully flashed payment rom just to check if I am able, and yes I am, so it's it possible that the only issue is merely aesthetic, ie. only the text in my bootloader is incorrectly displaying false info and is really unlocked and s-off'ed? How, and is there a reason, to remedy this issu. ( or is it I even an issue to begin with our should I just ignore it).

Thanks for reading this long post and double thanks if you have a helpful response! :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Pete450:
I don't have a direct answer, but this has been discussed heavily in the s-off via java card support thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2441299

Edit: (I'm still locked, so don't take my word for it) From my understanding, with s-off via java card, you have super CID, as well as super MID. This should allow you to unlock the bootloader via HTC dev. This post by [MENTION=3437245]scotty1223[/MENTION] will provide a little more info on that.

Post #2 here should clear up everything for you.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
Relax, your phone is fine. All you need to do to make the tampered flag go away, is run an ruu.

I did not read your post very carefully, since I am at work , but I can answer any questions that you still have later this evening.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] grishky:

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:

Mirror posted in OP seems Dev-Host is having some issues
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] purple_zergling:
Hi, just switched to the HTC One from the GS4 for a variety of reasons and been lurking for most part but I just wanted to post an updated understanding regarding the developer's community current state. If there's anything wrong, please let me know. I never want to be a burden to the modding community.

HTC Dev's website allowed unlocking of the Verizon HTC One device. Verizon locked it down relatively quickly and is no longer viable for rooting or unlocking the bootloader.

The bounty began, but meanwhile, a user whose handle can be shorten to Sonic purchased a device named a Java Card which gives the user unique capabilities over the phone, including the ability to unlock "s-off" which allows for root and bootloader. He is offering to provide this service for $25 to anyone and provided it for free to 10 known developers.

At this time, the S-Off included bounty has reach well over $4,000, since the devices release a few months ago.

Hopefully that's the gist of it. Can't wait to see a major update from any of the major contributors.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Pete450:
That sums most things up fairly well. I would like to point out that acquiring s-off will not only allow you to unlock your bootloader, but it will allow you to mostly do anything you want to attempt on your phone, up to, and including, turning it into an expensive paper weight.

Good choice moving to the One, enjoy your stay :)

One last thing: this isn't exactly the correct thread for this type of post.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] kensikora:
I just replaced a broken DNA today with the HTC One. I loved that phone, figured I'd love this phone more. But this inability to root is kind of foreign to me.

Probably a silly question, but is it safe to assume that my HTC-Dev unlock token is phone-specific and not simply user-specific? As in, my token for my DNA is exclusively for my DNA, and therefore of no practical use to me now that I've moved on to the One?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
If it wasn't phone specific we could of shared the first one that was done. Verizon blocks it someone, device ID, Device CID, not sure.

Once s-off is acquired couldn't I just download goomanager and install a custom recovery through there? For some reason I cant seem to use any commands to flash while in "fastboot usb" each time I type a command to flash I just get a message telling me that its not a valid command.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
You are not opening the cmd window from the correct folder.

Use the folder the files are in to open the cmd window or use the platform tools folder if you have androud sdk on your PC

BTW you have to have superuser access to use goomanager

I just shift clicked and opened command in the folder itself and still get this message 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I dont have android sdk but i'll try and download that and see if that does the trick.

I am on a small carrier called Appalachian Wireless but they have a contract with verizon to use their towers so obviously the phone is cdma.

Everything I have read says u can't unlock the bootloader using HTCdev on Verizon but I was able to days ago with no problems.

Are you s-off?

Supercid?

you can do this

s-off the device

supercid

install the gb ruu

then do the official update from phone info

How can i S-Off. i m not on stock Rom.

following is the requirement of Juopunutbear S-OFF method.

2. Be on the Stock RUU. No other ROMs are supported, Fresh ROM will not work regardless of what you have read elsewhere.

thats why i was searching for my stock ics rom. i have tried diffrent RUU but no success.. :(

can i skip this step?

Stock ROM is HERE

Make sure you choose the correct version for your phone.

flash it from recovery

i suggest to use 4ext recovery and before flashing the rom enable smartflash from it

use the one in first post
[HTC Sensation] vickfred:
http://bugsylawson.com/files/category/88-pyramid/

You made a little mistake, it is 911 (not 901), because the CID x.xx.911.x - SK Telecom (South Korea)

RUU_Pyramid_SKT_KR_1.46.911.4 is the only one I have found at Persian hTC

Unfortunately BugsyLawson has stopped working, and I do not expect it to come back.
