[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Frankie1588:
2 or 3. It took 5 minutes or less when pouring started.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tcwota:
I did not get stuck on any pouring number but after 10 I got the "wtf" failure message. Guess I will try it later at home on another computer.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] overlord727:
Same, only took 3 times for me. Just installed TWRP! I'm gonna stay stock rooted for a bit until I feel like flashing a ROM.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Mike02z:
Thanks. I'll give this a try. Is it AOSP or SENSE?

Ummm...guys. I'm still on "pouring (1)" (about 25 minutes) and my phone is unresponsive. Kinda scared. I'm unlocked with HTC Dev from "Day One" and had just restored my backup of the stock ROM I had made before switching ROMs. Any suggestions.

Update: I held down the power button for about 10 seconds, my PC made the little noise like something was plugged in and the "..." have started going again.

Updated Update: Oh SNAP IT WORKED!!!!!! Thanks for the hard work.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dashbored:
[Update - answered my own questions :) in bold below. Hope this helps someone!]

Two quick questions:

1. This does NOT wipe/factory reset the phone, correct? Nope no wiping required

2. The first step in setting up adb & HTC fastboot drivers should be the same as step one in this post by Scotty1223, correct? Yep that should do it - I was running older version of HTC drivers from my Thunderbolt days, no wonder it didn't work at first haha

i posted a thread about this in the questions area! the only answer i got was if someone knows how to hex edit the bootloader i think. not a 100% right about it though. when i was on the rezound they managed to change the lock status to different sayings.

Oh, okay cool. I wasn't sure if it was something as easy as removing the tampered banner.

Damn I accidentally pet my htc one during the process and it failed.... :D Worked great thanks man!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
You have to get the right chipset driver and it will work through USB 3.0. It's a phone and Windows 8.1 incompatibility. I have an etron controller and had to use the asrock Windows 8.1 driver for mine to work. If you have Intel there is a process to modify some init files.

[Q] Fastboot on Windows 8.1
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mmuzzy:
I found it easier to just download the Ubuntu live CD and then download rumrunner into it. I also had luck running it on a Win7 laptop but Win8.1 is a pain in the butt.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Darkmx2000:
The issue i have is im running windows 8.1 on a Asus G72GX laptop and i dont even think it has USB 3.0 so im basically screwed :(
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Load up a linux live CD and just run rum runner from there. You don't even need a working fastboot install because rumrunner does everything for you. I have an asrock motherboard with 8.1 so it works but it doesn't because it's not updated for 4.3 software yet.

Just dont use a virtual machine install of linux as that won't work.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
⬆Agreed⬆. Live CD may be your best bet
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] vpxf:
I was weary of going with HTC because I knew they could be a pain to root/custom rom but I figured it was $50 less than the S4 and I would only have it for 10 months and I could deal. Now less than a month into this phone the restrictions on the stock ROM are really starting to aggravate me. I'm also tired of seeing 'tip' popups OVER and OVER again for the same thing I already stated I understood.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beaups:
Turn off tips.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
For the record the bootloader unlock issue was caused by VZW, not HTC. HTC allowed unlocks on day 1 until VZW made them shut it down.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rmd0311:
Does anyone know if the RumRunner team is working on upgrading their app for the new 4.3 ROM. I got a replacement phone and they sent me the updated HTC One. No way to flash a zip and go back to 4.2 and then obtain S-OFF and ROOT. Or you can only RUU if rooted, unlocked, SOFF... Any insight would be appreciated [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION]
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
They may or may not be working on a new version. They will not give an eta or promise anything as that's not how this site works. As for doing anything on 4.3 you are S.O.L. you will just have to wait and see. Who knows, maybe beaups is going to wait for kit kat before doing anything since it is weeks away from hitting. Or you may never see another version. As beaups would say "who knows what the future may bring".
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] eriknors:
I know this has nothing to do with one another, but isn't there already an exploit for the intl one on 4.3? I know Verizon throws in their own crap and makes it just that much more of a pita

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] eriknors:
Also isn't there a rumrunner version for the onemax that comes w/ 4.3 5.5 out of the box? I'm just curious as to what makes the one so damn special it's been locked down like it has.

sent from my DNA
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
I'm guessing it's because it came with 4.3 out of the box. There has to be an exploit before they can patch it...they'll probably implement a patch for it in their 4.4 update.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Does this only work if you have Verizon insurance? What if you bought your phone third party, I don't think they will help you right ?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] MajikUF:
So to get us back on track.... I wanted to share my experience so that i could help others.

I just received a "new" One from Verizon after mine mysteriously stopped working (no I didn't brick it) and it was software version .10. (my original was .8) I downloaded the correct version and I've tried to install it on two different machines now and I get stuck with the FATAL: F*@* it error with ..... all over again.

Windows 7

No USB 3 ports on the machine

My AV is disabled

My Firewall service is disabled

My Internet connection is fine, I'm on XDA now.

adb devices shows the device

fastboot devices shows the device (in fastboot mode)

I ran this before with no issue, and the only difference that I can see, is the different version of soju.

So, I finally tried something different. I was running soju.exe from an administrative command prompt. That was the difference. Running soju.exe from explorer made the difference. Hopefully I save someone else some time here. Also letting people know that if you receive a "new" One from verizon today, you will more than likely get the .10 software version running 4.2.2. (rumrunnable)

S-OFF achieved

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] caseyatbt:
I am stuck in an endless reboot "Waiting for device heh, just a shot glass for this one" in waiting for adb(23/120) I tested adb and fastboot before I started and both worked properly.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
What version of Windows? Firewall and antivirus is off? You installed HTC sync manager and then uninstalled only sync manager?

Last resort would be to install a partition of Linux on your hd, download the Linux version of rum runner and try running it. I've noticed if you open the soju.exe with admin rights it should work.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] caseyatbt:
Win7 64. Firewall off. I think I install the HTC driver without install/uninstalling HTC Sync Manager. Could that be the problem?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
I would uninstall just the sync manager. And turn off antivirus if you have one. Then right click the soju.exe and run as admin.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] caseyatbt:
I never installed Sync Manager, just the HTC drivers. Probably my problem.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Well the latest one drivers aren't available unless you install sync manager from HTC website. I think it was recently updated. I would uninstall everything, download latest sync manager, install it, then uninstall just the sync manager from control panel.

Once it's installed you will see in control panel, two items, HTC drivers, and HTC sync. Just remove sync.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Nikguy:
Oh i see! when it gets posted someone shout it out! Is it a linux only thing?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Probably not but from my experience running in Linux is pretty much failsafe if you are good with directions. There's an adb and fastboot package you download and unzip, go to directory using the terminal and run commands there. Im talking about adb not this exploit , in general. You dont have to mess with Windows drivers and anything else that may screw things up.

Ok, thanks for the info. And now the waiting game.....

Alright, gents, in the spirit of the New Year, I went back to 31 Dec in this thread, (about 25 pages), and have thus deleted 201 posts.

I'm at school and will give it a shot in a few hours, but had anyone gotten this to work on stock, locked 4.3? I'm very curious!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
There is a temp root method that should work for the HTC one in the instructions. It does not mean it will, but its worth a try. I mean I can revert to stock without going back to s-on but that may not answer your question.

Tonite I will revert to stock, lock my boot loader and write secureflag to s on and try firewater for fun.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Is it actually intended for 4.3 though?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Yea it's meant for 4.3, not sure about about 4.4 yet. I'll give it a shot when I get home from work. I'll be a sad unrooted panda If it does not root me after I lock and set my device back to s on, hehe.

The temp root method should give you temporary root while the exploit can run.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
I would use Windows 7 or Linux if you have it installed on another partition. Firewater should not format anything on your sd.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Nikguy:
now it is just getting stuck on attempting to acquire root again... is the phone supposed to turn on and off at this point or something? because it is just staying on. I am now using my laptop with windows 8.0.

Also, are you just pasting the whole thing into command prompt? or are you guys doing it line for line? Thanks

After waiting a while i just get the C:\Android> thing (where is where my adb is stored)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beaups:
One line at a time. If stuck trying to get root for more than 10 minutes, try hitting the enter key.

i think u will find issues w/ adb and windows 8 bud i tried to tell you that a couple of posts back but im not 100% on that cause i dont have windows 8. im only going off of what ive read in XDA threads

thanks, I got through the temp root, but now when i type "/data/local/tmp/firewater" i get an error that says "segmentation fault"

Any ideas? thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Yeah it's buggy, Windows 8/8.1. Most people I helped out had Windows 7 or Linux and they didn't have issues. All I can say is run commands as admin , make sure your Windows adb path is correct, turn off firewall and antivirus. I'll be using Linux after messing in win8.1 and not finding any proper fix.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beaups:
Hmm are you on a stock device?

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Change directory in command prompt or Linux terminal to where you downloaded firewater files.

Sudo su

Enter password

Follow the instructions on the site. Make sure you have adb and fastboot installed correctly before all this.

You need to be root. Do sudo Su first before running any commands

i did. right after i punched in cd downloads, i put in sudo su. the problem is when i type in su, it says it can't find it.

How can i help it find su?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Are you in Linux? You should natively have Su as part of Linux. Try just Su.

If not do sudo apt-get su

I'm in OS X. when i type in su i enter my password and then it says su: Sorry
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Oh I'm not sure about osx. Go to settings users and group preferences and then enable root user.

I believe you have to be admin on osx to have it. Try sudo -i then type password. You won't see it just type and hit enter.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rockingrubberducky:
wait, i think im an idiot.

I ran the temproot method and it worked because my device is fully stock.

I booted into recovery and it says *** UNLOCKED *** and S-OFF.

Am i good to go? lol

Rooted several phones and know my way around ADB, but the last few pages have me confused. Is there a guide on unlocking bootloader with 4.3? Thanks about firewater has me all confused.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Leraeniesh:
From what I've seen, you're just pushing firewater to /data/local/tmp, setting correct permissions, and executing it through terminal.

I haven't tested firewater myself, since I had 1.10.605.8 when I unlocked.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bill12690:
I s-offed with firewater this morning, sorry if I mis-understood but it should permanently root correct? I have no SU app, and after flashing CWM recovery I can't effectively make changes to system files (can't install a custom rom or even factory reset the phone). All it does it sits like it's wiping or installing, but nothing happens.

I ask because I didn't think firewater actually performed the rooting process, but i was under the impression rumrunner did.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beaups:
Firewater does not root the device. You will need to do that.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bill12690:
That's what I thought. However, I thought rooting came with installing the rom (it's been a long time since I've had to root, and this is the first HTC I've done) but my CWM recovery fails to mount anything.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beaups:
Sounds like your cwm is broke.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bill12690:
I agree, its never made any sense to have to gain root before using a recovery anyway, I tried both the touch and regular version of CWM. About to try another recovery momentarily.

Regardless, thanks so much beaups... your awesome to say the least. We appreciate it :D
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
You have the right cwm recovery version? Try twrp version 2.6.3.4. Also, for root you need to flash using fastboot the supersu zip from the santod thread here.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beaups:
No prob
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bill12690:
Yes, i had the newest version CWM directly from the website, however I tried TWRP and although it still got some mounting issues it worked out, now I'm up and running on a custom rom. Thanks again guys
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Another thing that helped after gaining unlock and s off, when I installed a recovery the partions were not right after wiping my stock 4.3 os. So I did a wipe of system, data, and internal in twrp and rebooted twrp, and no more partition bugs. I proceeded to use sideload to load a Rom and its been fine since.

FYI

if you are 100% stock its worth a try. but if you have s-off i wouldnt give that up.

my $.02
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
It works for Sprint because you can unlock bootloader via HTC dev. If you lock and take ota on Verizon I don't think firewater will work.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
how does firewater work in the first place for us if you need dev unlock?

edit:

never mind the temp root method used has been patched.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Yea Sprint models and I guess tmobile don't have to use temp method. Since users can get unlock token from HTC.

The new ota is using a new hboot too and it's locked. I hear its really rough to unlock it on the moto.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] vpxf:
Firewater worked on 4.3 without any issues. I did however have to use CWM 6.0.4.4 classic instead of the latest 6.0.4.7 classic in order to wipe data/cache some reason.

Thanks to everyone involved in making this happen.

Understand I should have rooted a while ago... but, I didn't. Anyone know if there is any chance rumrunner can/will be able to be modified to work on a One that has been updated to KitKat 4.4.2? Just wondering and thanks for any info you can provide...

I am not clear when you say "our version". So did you s-off on 4.4? Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
If you are complete stock on 4.4.2 and locked boot loader fire water won't work because of the new hboot.

By our version I assume Verizon because for other carriers you can use firewater since htc allows unlocking of the hboot even in the newest update so temproot is not required to be used.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ddurandSGS3:
Yeah meant our version because it was in the Verizon forum.

Didn't even think that this might be a universal thread.

Either way the root method I posted worked and all Is well.
