Were you s-off before? Stock HTC One 4.3?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Fu5ion:
1.10.605.15 is 4.2.2, not 4.3.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bmoresbest55:
Oh my bad. Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
I was S-Off from Sonic but I had to relock and RUU it up to send it back to HTC.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] neutronjeff:
Thanks to the Rumrunner S-off Team!

one attempt (Win 7 64)

ONE SUCCESS!!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] MoonBlade:
I read through most of the posts in this thread and have found that this method is the best in use as of now.

I tried using rumrunner to s-off/root my device (software number: 1.10.605.8) on windows 7 but it always ends up in error after test 2. (FATAL: F*** it!) and then all i see is a series of dotted lines.

YES i have turned off all my antivirus and firewall features while doing this. I have installed all the USB drivers and i have a working adb connection setup as well.

Can anyone help me with this problem , Please ?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lysdexik:
And you ran it as administrator correct?

Did you uninstall HTC Sync?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] MoonBlade:
Yes always as admin.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lysdexik:
How about HTC Sync? Uninstalled? Also what version of HBOOT are you running?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] MoonBlade:
I didnt install HTC Sync. there is no HTC sync in my lap.

Hboot version 1.54.0000

Android 4.2.2 completely stock
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
You need to install it once to get the drivers then uninstall it before you try rumrunner.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beaups:
Fatal is network/antivirus/firewall issue. Or a bad download.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] MoonBlade:
Thank you guys i will redownload the rumrunner and see how it goes. i will also try to install usb drivers using htc sync and uninstall it later. Let me see if it works.

EDIT: Yeah got S-off finally... uninstalled my AV and installed/uninstalled HTC sync. Thanks again for the support :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] eriknors:
So beaups now that I stupidly took the OTA from Verizon on my brand new One, without being a douche, is there going to be a way to s-off the 2.10.605.1 software in the future? I'm in no way trying to ask for an eta I'm just pissed that I took the OTA and anxious to unlock this thing. Thanks in advance and thank u for all u have done for HTC phones.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
It means nothing really. Just stay tuned. But also don't expect anything. ETA's on xda are frowned upon. Bounties are kind of frowned upon too, but still allowed.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dbornack:
Has anyone run this on the 4.3 OTA yet to see what happens?

I would just try it, but I've had bad luck with this phone lately. I'm on my 5th on in 3 months.

What are the risks of running it on 4.3? Will it just not work, or will I definitely risk harming my device?

Thanks guys.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Soul TKR:
I took the update thinking I might not root this phone because I'm pretty happy with it. However, after the update, there's a few annoying things that were added and I am pretty sure I'm ready to root. As long as it's not too difficult LOL

I rooted my old Thunderbolt (my first root), but I'd cry if I screwed this ONE up...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
Untested configurations always have inherit risks. If it were so easy though I'm sure beaups would already have the new version listed on his site. Just give it some time. It took a while for us to even get s off in the first place, but thanks to beaups it happened.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dbornack:
Yeah.. I was just wondering outloud to see if anyone had definitively given it a try yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beaups:
To clarify, that new software version is definitely not supported/rumrunner will not work. Stay tuned...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lysdexik:
Yes, I tried it before I knew that the update was not supported.. twice actually. Made it through 2 reboots and on the 3rd reboot the exploit does not detect the device and the tool eventually times out.

Phone works fine after failing twice.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brymaster5000:
Thanks man. I would like to send my phone in for a camera repair, and it would be nice to have a method for 4.3 in case HTC decides to update my phone as part of the repair.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Yea looks like the HTC one I bought from Verizon is also 4.3 with hboot 1.55. Its sitting on the table turned off, using my droid dna for the time being. I spent couple hours last night reading and going through the web trying to figure out all the info. Stupid Verizon and HTC Dev..why did they have to block the bootloader.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
My phone arrived at HTC after the 4.3 update and HTC didn't update it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lysdexik:
Lol so come trade phones with me since I live in Raleigh too. Only kidding :P
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] siphuyoda:
Does anyone have a mirror link to download rumrunner? The website seems to be down.

EDIT: NVM it seems to be up again.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] UdiFlpb:
i have a problem i tried it on to pc's one with 8.1 and one with 7

tried on both of the pc's usb 2.0 and 3.0 and it didnt work.

i cant root my device every single time when it says rebbot fastboot <again> or something like that

it will wait something like 12 seconds and then it writes FATAL: **** it

i have a blue htc one verizon model android 4.2.2 htc sens 5.0 os version:1.10.605.8

any ideas ???
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Do you have the latest HTC drivers? Download sync manager from the HTC site. Let it install drivers, then uninstall sync manager only.

Also make sure your firewall and antivirus are turned off. You probably already are in this mode but just making sure that you are in debugging mode too.

Oh and in windows 8 execute rumrunner as administrator.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] UdiFlpb:
did all of that
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brymaster5000:
Are you using the .8 version?

Sent from my Oney Bone.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] UdiFlpb:
yes
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Yeah if you are on Verizon make sure you use the rum runnner app that matches your software build number.

Weird, have you tried rebooting your pc? I had to reboot twice and uninstall sync manager and reinstall it because it was not picking up fastboot.

Do you have adb installed and set your path correctly? It may not be required for rumrunner but just making sure.

I wish I could root my HTC one.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] UdiFlpb:
just tried again didnt help :(

if its says something on pc with the windows 8.1 while isung usb 2.0 port

it wont work at all it will just count to 120 at the first time with the fastboot.

with the usb 3.0 port it will get to the second time of the fastboot and that it will write the fatal **** it error.

on my laptop with windows 7 on both ports it will get to the fatal error.

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

Sry I made a mistake th error comes after the second time of bootloader not fastboot
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Is it the phone's original usb cable? Do you have other usb ports you could try? It seems to be an issue with ports then. Windows 8 was iffy when I would plug in flash drives but in 8.1 it works fine. Do you have another computer to try, perhaps a desktop where you can use the back usb ports?

Edit: Can you verify if HTC Dev lets you unlock the bootloader? Just to check I suppose. If you are using the proper version of rumrunner then my guess is something on the pc is messing it up.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
Windows 8 will give you nothing but problems. I would only use windows 7. I would also uninstall antivirus, disable firewall, update or re install usb drivers for your chipset re install HTC sync and then uninstall just HTC sync itself not the driver installer. Be sure you are using a usb port connected directly to pc(no hubs). Unzip the contents of rum runner directly into the same directory as fast boot. Make sure phone has been re booted with fastboot unchecked and usb debugging is on. On pc run soju.exe from command prompt as administrator. Type cmd in run bar and right click on cmd and select run as administrator. In cmd window navigate to the directory where fastboot and soju.exe both are. Now type soju.exe and follow the prompts.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] UdiFlpb:
yes i did use the phone original cable. i did try on my desktop computer running 8.1 and on my laptop running windows7 but the same thing although i havent tried using the back port on my pc i will try when i get back home. how do i verify if HTC Dev lets me unlock the bootloader ?

gizmoe i will try using what you have mentioned when i get back home and inform you if i have any changes.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
To verify if HTC Dev allows your phone model to unlock bootloader, make sure you download the Android SDK. I can't post links here. Unzip the and droid sdk and then cut the platform-tools folder to a location you prefer. I put mine under C:/

Then right click the my computer icon in the start menu and go to properties, under the performance tab, select Environment variables. Scroll down to Path and then hit Edit.

At the end of the path add a semicolon and then put your Directory to where platform-tools forlder is located. For example your path should look like this when you scroll all the way to the end of it:

;C:/Android

Now to verify adb works: Open cmd as administration and change directory to where you placed the platform tools folder...

Ex: cd C:/Android/platform-tools

Then make sure your phone is in usb debugging mode and no screen lock. Connect the phone and then in the cmd window do:

adb devices

It should list your device.

Go to HtcDev and create an account, its free, select unlock bootloader. Then select in the dropdown All Other Supported devices. Continue on and it will take you to a screen where it asks you to paste your token.

Now you have to disconnect your HTC one, boot it into fastboot mode. You can do this one of two ways, by typing in the command window you just used: adb reboot bootloader then when it reboots use the volume keys to select fastboot and then hit power button once. Or you can go to settings, power and make sure fastboot is unchecked, turn off the phone, hold the powerbutton and the volume down key at the same time until the phone boots to the the bootloader, seleft fastboot using the volume key, and then press the power button once.

Once in fastboot mode connect the usb cable and then on the HTc dev site they will tell you to run the command fastboot oem get_identifier_token

It will spit out an token which you copy and paste in the htcdev window and hit submit. If its allowed then you will get an email with a file to unlock your bootloader..otherwise if they blocked your mode you get error 160.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
HTC dev doesn't allow the ONE to be unlocked.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Yeah I figured as much because mine couldn't work. But he is on the previous software version so rumrunner should work for him. I'm on 2.10.605.1 but the guy I bought my phone from updated it before shipping it out so I'm stuck with stock for now. I may sell it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] UdiFlpb:
my phone is not allowed to open the bootloader what can i do ?

also i have tried copying the rum folder to the adb folder using the back port and running through cmd didnt work :(
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
You don't have the latest ota so rumrunner should work for you. I would start fresh, uninstall HTC sync and HTC drivers, reboot, remove all HTC folders.

Reinstall the drivers and try again. The next thing to do if it doesnt work is try another pc.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] UdiFlpb:
i have already tried a different pc and i still have the same error
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
I'm not sure why you get that error if you have tried everything we listed here. Could be an issue with your usb drivers.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
Are you using only windows 7. Also could you elaborate more on what I quoted. Is your phone unable to reach bootloader via ADB commands or manual booting or both?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
I think he meant htc dev is not allowing him to unlock the bootloader which is normal.

Edit : you don't have to move the rumrunner folder into the adb directory. You can just open the rumrunner folder hold shift and right click and open cmd window here. Also what version of rumrunner did you download ?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] UdiFlpb:
i managed to do all the steps porpaperly.

this i what i meant.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
You shouldn't have to move it into the adb directory but in some cases may be a fix. Ive been following this thread since it started and there have been several users that have had it suddenly work after doing this. Just trying to cover all the known bases of what has worked for others in the past.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] UdiFlpb:
now everything is messed up.

on my windows 8.1 pc i have tried reinstalling htc sync and uninstalling twice and still everytime i try it says as he starts please start again and read

and on my pc i havent changed anything and now it is stuck on the very very first countdown i have no idea what i have done

but i think it started to happen after i did the htcdev check thing.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
fastboot does not work on windows 8.1. If you have an etron 3.0 usb controller there is a workaround that I have used but it will only work for usb 3.0 connections. before using the tool you need to verify if both adb and fastboot can recognize your device. I know windows 7 will recognize your phone with normal usb 2.0 drivers. Do you know how to verify they are both working, if not we should probably move this to PM as to not to continue and clutter up this thread as fastboot issues is straying from the topic of the OP
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
It's odd because I have 8.1 and fastboot works for me. It must be something else I guess.

Only reason it didn't work in my phone is because I'm on software version 2.10.605.1

Yeah if you can't get it you could pm either one of us. I'm out shopping until later but may have to do a teamviewer session to see what's wrong.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
There are a handful of people that have fastboot connectivity on windows 8.1 natively and you must be one, but it is so few and far between that it is safer to assume windows 8.1 is the problem. windows 7 is capable of running the tool on pretty much any pc hardware configuration so if available should always be used for rumrunners IMO just to avoid the windows 8.1 fastboot headaches. Do you by chance have the ASROCK etron usb 3.0 controller? Because I know those drivers work and is what I use on my Biostar MB to fix the issue for myself
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
I have an asrock extreme 3 gen 3 z68 mobo. I didn't need to install usb drivers but I did install the drivers that asrock provides for usb 3.0.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
well there you go. that happens to be the chipset that works. aren't you lucky :laugh:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Not so lucky because my htc one came with the 4.3 ota and hboot 1.55.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
yeah that's a bummer. Im sure beaups will have a version out soon though. It hasn't been too long so far.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Yeah hopefully I was just about to put it back up for sale on swappa and get one with a previous software version.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dobo84:
Fastboot was fixed with the 4.3 drivers but leaves you with out root
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
That's what I've been reading lately too. People claim it's the new hboot version as the HTC sync drivers are the same. However for me it didn't do anything. Still can't use usb 2.0 for fastboot on windows 8.1 on my pc. Maybe HTC updated sync lately though as I have not checked.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] merlin66676:
I'd give it a few days, I'm sure beaups will have it solved shortly. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Yeah I'm just looking to root it so I can run a kit kat Rom on there. That and I may be selling my DNA before prices drop too much. Although the DNA is an awesome phone too because it pretty much supports even ATT bands and I could keep it in the future if Verizon ever took my unlimited data away.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Nikguy:
May I suggest that the developer edit the main post to indicate that this won't work on 4.3?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mmuzzy:
I'm not sure I see why that's necessary. It's more important that you're on the right firmware even if you didn't know your Android version. Since 4.3 is firmware 2.x and there are only 1.x listed, it shouldn't even be an option to try any of them.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
At one point I saw people thinking 4.3 was the older firmware. But even the website states if you have a Verizon model use the specific version for your software. Just have to read and pay attention. If people can't do as much there really isn't any hope for them trying to root.

I think people get confused between software build number and android version. I think att and sprint didn't add additional things in their update to prevent unlocking/rooting like Verizon did.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mmuzzy:
I had second thoughts after I posted my original response. I can see the point if someone is trying to decide whether or not to get the phone in the first place based on if it's unlockable or not. Without drilling down into a few threads you might take it at face value that the phone is unlockable without realizing that 4.3 isn't one of the 1.x firmwares.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Yeah I think people just Google 4.3 HTC one root? They see some 4.3 roms available so they end up buying the phone and then realize there is no actual root if the phone has not been previously rooted. Most importantly like you said is the firmware version. I think the main thread states something about firmware.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rockingrubberducky:
Any progress regarding a root method for 4.3?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Chilidog:
This is all we have right now from beaups.

"Hard to predict what the future will bring."
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Give it some more time I suppose. This stuff takes time it's not easy. It's not like the phone is dropping price quickly. If we can't get root then you will still be able to sell it and find an older firmware version.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] vpxf:
I don't like that response, can we pretend we never saw it and shake him again? :P
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] LightAeterna:
Beaups is a magic 8-ball? Keep shaking til we get "rum runner for VZW 4.3 upped"

Or, I guess, just wait patiently while refreshing til f5 falls off. Either way, Happy New Years, people!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Or we can just wish him and all the other devs a happy new year instead. His comment also has optimism in it, we don't know what 2014 may bring :)

So we can just blame Verizon for throwing nasty tricks at our phones, many which we fully paid for and should not be a concern if you so choose to run your os without the corporate bloatware.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] DeerSteak:
OK so I got an HTC One off of eBay that was running the 1.10.605.8 firmware. Rumrunner did great and now I'm S-Off and unlocked. This was an awesome experience.

I tried searching the thread but came up empty: If I let it install this software update to 2.x (4.3) or if I install an RUU to go back to stock, that doesn't re-lock anything, right? I'm still Super CID and S-Off and unlocked?

Yeah if it doesn't say for Verizon just wait for beaupps to get done. No use trying something unknown. Just tried it..says device unsupported once you download the windows install to run while the device is connected.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Lots of dots could be your antivirus or firewall. Make sure you disable both. Odexed...looks like you already are running a Rom. If you are unlocked then don't you just need to flash custom recovery and install super su?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] phantomEVO:
i've discovered that if i enable fast boot it doesn't give me this error even if it continues the procedure and after a little bit of time it gives me another error.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] arizonaomnia:
That could be a problem, since the Rom you linked to is for the international One, not the Verizon One.

Sent from my HTC One
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
He says he has an international HTC one. Fastboot should not be enabled while running rumrunner. Your phone needs to be set on usb debug mode with fastboot disabled.

It could be a driver issue too. Do you have windows 8? Uninstall all HTC drivers, reinstall HTC sync manager, then remove only the sync manager.

Also make sure you execute rum runner with admin rights. But mostly you should not have fastboot enabled.

And yeah if you have a international one and you want a Verizon Rom, it may not work properly.

Edit: it says your device must be HTC dev unlocked s on or soff. Soff is not a requirement so I'm not sure why you can't just flash that Rom since you mentioned your international one bootloader is HTC dev unlocked.
