[Verizon HTC One (M7)] EthanMG:
it may help to update the op? ive been following for a while, so personally i know about firewater and the other details of what does and doesnt work for gaining s-off, but for newbies the only reference to firewater on the first page is just a link in someone's tag halfway down. or, if we want to keep this thread rumrunner, should we make a thread for firewater so that it is common knowledge? most new people are probably on 4.3, which rumrunner wont work on, or on 4.4, which nothing works on, and you wouldnt know any of that from the first page. and i know its assumed you should read some of the forum before using anything from it, but the firewater reference and links are pages back, and relatively obscure. not complaining by any means, just an idea =j

People can read and research or choose not to. All of the information is available.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] EthanMG:
... your thread, your rules man =j for those of you new here, here's how it stands currently: is your stock os version lower than 4.3? use either rumrunner or firewater. 4.3? use firewater. 4.4? keep checking back! thanks for all you do beups
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] FdeKlerk:
Perfect.

So guys big big tanks to the guy that posted the youtube name.

here you go.. it works........... htc one verizon, hboot 1.54

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ghilliek9:
I don't think this works on 4.4.2...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] FdeKlerk:
Goto your bootloader and see what version os you have and then see if it is at rumrunner eg mine was 1.10.605.10.

If your os number is there then download the rumrunner version and follow steps!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ghilliek9:
I think you may have gotten some information confused there (maybe I'm just reading it wrong). We all know that .08 .10 and .15 work but the official KK version is different and that one still does not work... I'm sure these hardworking people are on it to help the rest of us out.

In fact, here is a little something for beaups for all his hard work before and for all his future hard work 1P03044144051042S

Ok guys, for those who are stuck give this a try!!

I think you're a bit late to the party bro. Rumrunner works up to 4.2.2 only and firewater works with 4.3. At this time there is no exploit for 4.4.2, but thanks for trying to help :good:.

root has already been achieved. Just waiting on them to release it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cartisdm:
Are you referring to the post/tweet mentioning the release in August?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
root won't be released until August
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Darkmx2000:
I agree with you on that one ?

I really cant understand why it would take till August to release the exploit seeing that the M8 is being released in weeks. To make everyone wait till then we will see most of the Devs most likely already moved onto the M8 ?. But I will sit here and patiently wait and hope it doesn't take that long. But I must admit this has to be the only android phone that I have used and not really have the overwhelming urge to root ?

Another cleanup session, another 98 posts down. Again, please keep this thread on topic with the OP. This thread is for the S-OFF exploit, not how to root (ROM side) my phone, or how to install a recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Frankie1588:
I just have a quick question.

I know that root has been achieved, but it will not be released until August. Will anyone else bother trying to find an exploit since it has already been done? I ask this because I am planning on selling my device if nobody else is working on root. I am not asking for an ETA or anything like that. I am simply just curious if anyone is working on it who plans to release it when they achieve root. It's great that someone found root, but I don't intend on waiting around until August to have an unlocked device.

Thanks!!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ghilliek9:
I wish I was smart! I'd work on one and release the damn thing ASAP! I can't wait to unlock my One!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
Jcase said he won't be releasing his root method until August. So chances are you'll be moving on to another device :). If my next one is on 4.4.2 I'm just going to send it back to Verizon and sell my stuck pixel One that's S-OFF and Bootloader unlocked and get another device.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Frankie1588:
Yeah, I know that but I meant beaups. He is the one who got root/S-OFF in the first place. He could possibly be working on an exploit of his own.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
I'm sure he's chugging away. Just depends on what will hit first beaups or jcases.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gadgetrants:
I admit I'm not following JC elsewhere but I hope there's a reason beyond the argument that "if it's released now, HTC/Verizon will patch the exploit with their next OTA." Actually I'm sure the month of August was NOT pulled out of thin air, but my thinking is since the VZW One will be almost 1 year old in August, releasing a root exploit now gives current owners something like 5 or 6 months to enjoy it rooted. The number of people who will wait until August for the exploit, AND THEN KEEP THE PHONE ANOTHER YEAR, must be a fairly small minority of owners.

Or wait, here's a hunch: I seem to remember the exploit involved a number of phones...right? If so, maybe the August "delay" has little or nothing to do with the One specifically? If so I'd love to find out more.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] APeaceofStrange:
Jcase has said he has business uses for the exploit until August.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gadgetrants:
Please elaborate. Can't imagine what "business uses" might be.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] APeaceofStrange:
Its not my comment to expand upon. Just relaying what jcase posted in the moto x forums.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Charfahl:
Since he mentions black hat Vegas, and seems be August 2 this year, I would imagine it has do that, possibly a business venture, since has also mentioned he needs take of his family first... But this is what I can gather from cruising our own forums...

I hope something gets released soon as I need root to install adaptive software for my visual impairment.

Big time thread cleanup.

Guys let's not turn this thread into talking about jtag S-OFF for money. In the first place it is against our rules to advertise here or make money from members here, especially for S-OFF

Secondly, this thread is about romrunner. There are plenty of threads in the General and Q&A that cover these other things, so use them instead please.

Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Chilidog:
I can't remember, firewater doesn't delete anything on your phone right?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nty123:
just getting s-off won't wipe any of your data.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TJMac44:
Sorry if this is a dumb question, I did a search and couldn't find my answer. I rooted my phone when this exploit first came out. My dad has a one and has apparently accepted the firmware updates. Can I perform a factory reset on his phone to get back to the original firmware and then run rumrunner? or does the firmware updates change the factory reset also? Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] coachcrey:
You will have to wait if he's on 4.4.2
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TJMac44:
That's what I figured, so to be clear a factory reset just goes to a clean setup of the latest firmware that was installed right?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
It just wipes data and caches. System partition is left untouched, which is where the firmware resides.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] coachcrey:
The issues is there is no current temp root method release. But if you follow jcase on Twitter it looks like they (him and beanups) plan on releasing a new s-off exploit today at some point!

And to better answer your question yes you are correct factory reset just wiped user data.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dohcvtec:
Hope that happens. Can't wait to root my phone!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] coachcrey:
Yeah luckily I'm rooted but I'm sure they will release it very soon he posted pictures of a rooted m8 last night early this morning

thats what I'm doing after every time, once it says "Root activated" i execute the ./adb shell command and then su and all the other commands. it gives me the warnings and everything and i accept, but it just does not finish all the bottles, how many bottles are suppose to be open?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
I get the same. I've tried everything I can think of. I've run it on Windows xp, Windows 8, virtual machine running ubuntu 32-bit on both and a ubuntu live CD. I get to first chugging and then it either freezes or goes to main cmd prompt and phone reboots or hangs on black screen. I tried the WiFi off too as mentioned. Once it showed second chugging but got nowhere. It seems the phone itself is the problem not the pc. I've done a factory reset as well with no luck. Maybe certain variants of the one can't use the current method. I will try another pc tomorrow but I really think it's on the phone end.

Weird. That actually gives me hope though. Glad you got it. You only installed weaksauce right? Then just ran firewater exploit?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nty123:
Yep, installed weak sauce and got root. then ran the firewater exploit. make sure after you do ./adb reboot. that once its done rebooting and you push the next command, wait until it says "Root activated" on your phone near the bottom of your phones screen. once it says root activated then you can push "adb shell" command and further continue on.

Did you use weaksauce? If so uninstall it then flash su. If not then just download and install superuser from play store and open it to update binary.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scott7044:
I did uninstall weaksause and now the supersu apk is installed as a system file and I can't unistall and try install again from the playstore.

More ideas would be appreciated, thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
Did you restart after uninstalling weak sauce. What happens when you try to open supersu? Flashing supersu.zip in recovery should make the accompanying app work regardless if it's in system or data. I would boot to recovery and try again flashing the zip and then boot up and open su.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scott7044:
I did restart after unistalling weaksauce. I installed superuser instead of supersu through recovery if that makes a difference. When I open superuser nothing happens, i mean the app opens but any app that requires root access does not work. I want to uninstall superuser and flash supersu but cant figure out how. I tried installing weaksauce again to get temp root but that still did not give me root access as far as uninstalling a system app or granting permission to other root apps. I tried installing supersu from the play store and it failed because of superuser being installed.

The recovery I installed in 2.7.01 if that helps at all.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
You could try and flash philz touch recovery and use the root option within the recovery and see if it activates superuser so you can at least use a program like rootbrowser or es file explorer to uninstall superuser. Other than that I would just either flash a Rom or flash the current Rom you are using over itself without wiping data. What Rom are you on?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scott7044:
I am still on stock until I get this super user figured out. Would if be ok to flash a rooted rom like cm without a functioning super user app. I am not a super user myself but I have never had any problems in the past with a HTC hero, inc2 or gnex. Thanks for your help.

In the past I always used root explorer, but that won't get root access so I cant change to r/w.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
Yeah definitely. If you are just gonna flash a custom Rom then don't even bother. Root is a Rom function so whatever you flash will be good to go.

Never mind problem fixed
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] curveconcepts:
Same issue here. Its really not based on the OS being used though, because the commands are being run on the phone after you choose adb shell. So VZW/HTC must of found the exploit being used in previous versions. How many bottles do you get through before it goes back to the command line?
