How to use IRC for support:

1 - Go to http://chat.andirc.net:8080/

2 - In Nickname field give yourself a nickname. This can be anything and will be displayed to the others in the channel

3 - In Channels type #rumrunners

4 - Press Connect

The screen will scroll with useful info and then clear and leave you in the chat. By default people in the channel will show to the right. Typing is done at the bottom. Remember to give them as much info as possible about your situation and to be polite, they are just volunteers offering their help. Don't expect a reply right away as some people are known to connect and then check back from time to time (I don't know how they are managing this channel but it is a good rule of thumb in IRC)

Thanks for the awesome exploit! You guys are amazing, I'll be sure to donate to you all.

FYI, it was really weird, yesterday I tried to run the rumrunner to no avail on 3 different computers, 2 OS's, 3 USB cables, and a variety of other different settings but I would get a "WTF: what are you doing" message each time it was at "pouring...1". However, this morning, I used the first USB cable I tried from yesterday and reran the program while I took a shower. To my surprise it worked!

It was frustrating at first getting rejected various times while trying to get s-off but it finally worked. So thanks again to all the devs who worked on this.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bjs339:

I haven't flashed a phone since my Rezound days, and I have never been a flash-a-holic. I think I remember you from the Rezound days. So what I need to do next is flash a custom recovery , right? Have not had time to look at all the roms yet and not in a rush . Hard to believe I got S-OFF the first try! Which recovery do you recommend?

When i type in "adb reboot-bootloader", i get more than one device error. Can anyone help please?

Sounds like you have more than one android device plugged in. I would recommend only one device (HTC one) being plugged in.

This method worked perfectly for me on the first try, if anyone is having issues I would recommend following this step by step process. I used win 8 64bit, just an fyi.

In the bootloader, I have FASTBOOT USB highlighted in red above the orange instruction text, and I can't select it to boot into it. And the installer always hangs with a bunch of dots.

It is not recommended and without stock recovery most likely wouldn't update anyway. May even break your phone. Just wait til it's officially released and someone will cook up a stock version I'm sure. Or try the ones already out.

I was finally able to get it working with an ubuntu live usb. I highly suggest only doing it with that because I had so many problems with windows and drivers that it just wasn't working.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Hypherism:
I have an issue and I don't know where to go from this point. I installed the fastboot, adb drivers, etc. all checked out; prerequisites all met.

So I made it to pouring (1), it had some '......' then says 'Waiting for device', now it's on 'pouring (2)', but there are only 3 dots and now it's stopped! The soju.exe has been stopped for 10+ minutes now I believe! I disabled my antivirus/firewall after I had noticed the delay, and made no more progress. What do I do now?! Should I unplug and reset?? Then retry the whole thing after a factory reset?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
Is your phone prompting you to make a selection to verify apps? If so hit no.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Hypherism:
When I press the power button on my phone, the soft keys on either side of the HTC logo light up, but the screen stays dark :(
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
Hmm. Might need to go into irc for that.

Is it not safe to stop rumrunner at this point? Could I brick?

What do you guys recommend for a custom recovery now? I used TWRP on my dinc. Is it available for the Verizon One?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 215alexdx:
How are we supposed to be rooted and have a stock ROM if we can't even unlock the bootloader? Can someone explain?

Some of is unlocked day one when it was available.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jozanich:
Worked no problem on first try! Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Rain__:
You don't need to be rooted, you only need to be on the stock ROM with the stock kernel... If you didn't unlock on day 1 when it was available, you're still holding a completely stock, un-rooted device in your hand right now, thus Rumrunner will work perfectly fine.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] murderdock:
That happened to me with the Linux live USB method, I just stopped it and restarted the computer and retried. Then it worked
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] busterbrown77:
THIS. A MILLION TIMES THIS. I was trying for days now and while all my drivers were fine, it seems the exe was having issues finding things in it's driectory.

A few things though. I did this in Windows 8.1 x64 and did a few things differently. For drivers I used the HTC Win7 x64 drivers and installed with task manager. I used the Intel usb drivers as well.

Another tip for people on windows 8+, when you extract everything, right click on all the files abd go to properties, and unblock all the files. That was causing some trouble for me.

I am having an issue though, since running it I cannot run stock recovery. I can run TWRP fine, but if I flash the stock recovery, my phone turns off when I boot into it. If I try to boot the image in fastboot my phone locks up entirely. Anyone got any ideas on that?

Thanks a ton to the devs who made this possible.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] toskies:
Thanks a lot for this! Got my HTC One yesterday after I busted my GNex. Everything went smooth as silk to get S-OFF + unlock using rumrunner. Pushed CWM in fastboot and now I'm ready to exploit this thing to it's full potential.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] InitialG:
I finally was able to unlock my phone. Now how do I install a custom recovery? Or does it install with this method?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
go into fastboot (aka bootloader)

command: adb reboot bootloader

then flash the recovery via fastboot USB

command: fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.zip (I personally choose to rename to recovery and do : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img )

but the choices are endless and yours. :)

I assume you have your SDK set up and understand basic ADB commands, if not, Google has a lot of GREAT tutorials to get you set up and understanding what this post means.

Happy S-OFFing

I just used this write up and worked for me first try.

Two things I noticed was you can have password lock screen while unlocking. Just have to enter the password each time. Also if your only internet is tethering you can run the unlock program abd it will update itself then it won't update no more when going through the process of unlocking.

So if you follow this guide to the letter you shouldn't run in to any issues. I am off to flash roms.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
Should work fine on XP. As long as you have fastboot and adb setup.

Waiting for ADB (29/120)
Waiting for device
Powering off device, UNPLUG your device, then press VOL-DOWN & Power to enter hb

All Done, hope you enjoyed the rum!

and sat at waiting for device for about 3 minutes before I realized a google prompt had popped up and was stopping the script from sending the command to the device to power off. This was a brand new out the box phone so probably not going to happen to many people. But this is the one point at which it was okay to touch and pet the device. before getting the "All Done."

That's exactly what I did. I was stuck on 'really dumb issues you have. you suck.' Rumrunner didn't finish, but it did get me S-OFF with an unlocked bootloader. I just flashed TWRP and installed SuperSU, and I'm good to go. I think. I don't know if rumrunner not finishing its process left me in limbo in some way that I haven't noticed yet, but it doesn't seem like it. Phone works fine and I have root.

Are you running it on Windows? If so, try making an ubuntu live USB drive and using that to do the exploit. I didn't have success on windows, but once I tried it in linux, it was smooth sailing.

Unfortunately I don't have any way to do that. :(

Can anyone give me a link for instructions for installing ADB and fastboot drivers? I thought I did it right but I don't see any other reason why I wouldn't be able to do this otherwise.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Hypherism:
I followed your steps, and it all 'seems' to go off without a hitch. I reboot into the bootloader, flash the recovery.img file.

Then I reboot my phone into the bootloader again and try 'RECOVERY'. When I have TWRP flashed, my phone just hangs at the htc logo with the 'Entering Recovery...' at the top and the disclaimer in red down below. I tried flashing CWM right afterwards; it gets past the 'Entering Recovery...' but slowboots like normal. What's going on here? Do I need to install a different version of the recoveries?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] eharvey:
Just wanted to check in and say holy moly, this is awesome! Worked great in Windows 64 bit for me. I struggled to get rid of my lock screen, thought it was in "security" and I had actually set that up in personalization settings. Once I got rid of the screen lock before i re-ran the process, it worked great. I was going to donate so you could get a cup of coffee on me, but when I noticed you got me S-OFF, unlocked the boot loader, rooted it, and your process didn't touch or delete any of my data, you my friend (and your team) deserve much more than a coffee.

I'll hit you up when I get back home.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] JGress:
I've attempted this 4 times and it's still giving me the "WTF" error. Each time, I uninstalled an reinstalled ADB, HTC drivers, checked that USB debugging is on, fastboot is disabled in my phone settings and that my phone is connected over USB ("adb devices" at command prompt.) Still, it just reboots 10 times and says "pouring ...." before giving me the WTF error. Do I need to copy the rumrunner folder to a specific location? I'm completely lost and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong! How do I verify that I have everything installed correctly? Can someone tell me exactly what I have to install?

I'be started completely from scratch each time. I even uninstalled Lookout on my phone. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong and I honestly don't think I even am doing anything wrong. I'm starting to think there's just something wrong with my phone. I haven't installed the new OTA but I'm thinking I may as well because it's not looking like I'm going to get this rumrunner exploit to work.

I was also having trouble with a WTF error after "Pouring....," following the advice of an earlier poster in this thread I did a Factory Reset and rumrunner worked on the first try after that. I had a bunch of games and apps installed, and my media storage only had 2.3gb free so it was probably slowing something important down.

Thanks man! I love my phone even more now.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] busterbrown77:
Ok, I've been unlocked for a few days now and I still have not figured this out. I am having weird recovery issues since unlocking. Stock recovery, either the one linked in the "Original / Modified OTA Files" thread or even the recovery extracted from the RUU simply will not boot for me at all. I am also noticing that sometimes TWRP just decides to stop booting as well, and sometimes I can fix it with a reflash, and others I cannot. Right now my phone just shuts off after the "Booting Recovery" screen. If i try to manually boot a img with fastboot the phone freezes.

Has anyone else run into this? It's driving me nuts.
