Looks like all they did was update to 4.3 and that corrected the issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Conando:
It was definitely more than that. They also fixed the gaps in the phone body so they probably did take it apart. Oh, and I was already on 4.3 when I sent it in.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] abaddon37:
I had my phone S-OFF thanks to Sonic already before rumrunner came out. Don't want to pay another $40.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sheldor1967:
Thanks, it is. Interesting that I have never noticed the phone temp having an effect. Mine is very cool right now and the hue is very pronounced when I lay it flat. What I did notice is that the hue almost totally disappears when it is flat and in Zoe mode...interesting...

So, you sent it S-off. Did it say tampered? Did they mention the s-off...I'm considering returning my to stock, but some folks have semi bricks because they didn't do it exactly right...which has me nervous. I was wondering if they would simply do it for me...but I also know they could refuse to service it...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
I wouldn't be to worried about returning your phone to stock. It's a super simple process. Just follow the steps and type everything in (or copy paste) correctly. Someone posted an updated link to the RUUs about 5 pages from the end in that thread. Definitely revert to .15 or older just in case you get lucky and they don't update or you change your mind about sending it in last minute.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Apparently none of my "before" photos backed up to Google+ except for one (I've posted a few in other threads I'll have to dig up). My camera was hit or miss on if it would act up. If you had it in normal mode until you toggled it back and forth from night mode. Then the purple and red would come in and out. This picture shows the horrible artifacting mine developed. I just covered the lense with my hand and allowed a little light in. All the black streaks from bottom left to top right were caused by the camera...they showed up in every low light shot. I'll see how it looks on Monday.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Here's the picture that really shows it. Yikes.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sheldor1967:
Thanks, that's nasty! I never get that, just the horrible pink and purple tint...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Hitman23DB:
I have the same issue but I don't want to lose my unlocked s-off.

Sent from my One
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
I wouldn't send it in until 4.3 (or 4.4 when we get it) is cracked then.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
Could try calling Verizon and have a warranty one sent out to you. That probably still has a chance of being on 4.2.2 and exploitable hboot. Two of my replacements in a row recently were 4.2.2. They just both had dead pixels and dust under the screen :(.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jessbowring:
You only need to have your phone back to stock. You CAN leave s-off. I did anyway They fixed it fine and updated to 4.3. They replaced the main rear camera and the upper board. Mine was horribly pink, the warmer my phone got the pinker it was. I'll see if I can find the pics I shared before on another thread and after, It is huge. As far as using the faux boot, I opted against it. Figured it was possible to have soff phone and not be skeptical, but definitely be skeptical if found a faux hboot. So I took my chances and left it.

Hope this helps
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
And you're still S-Off? I knew i should have went that route.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jessbowring:
Yes still soff and on my way back to root
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Ah I'm such an idiot.

Before and after pics. The after pics were taken with less light then the before
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jessbowring:
Check with sonic about the java card
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
I sent him a PM but haven't heard anything back yet. Would the Java Card work on the new update? I'm not too familiar with all that.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jessbowring:
I'm not sure but I believe so? Hopefully they get rumrunner updated soon. I just wasn't willing to risk it. I think I would have dealt with the pink issue a little longer until I knew I could get back to root if they would have refused the repair. I figured they would do the update due to software, so I didn't want to be screwed. I love this phone, hate what Verizon does tho
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Got it back today. No gaps anymore like the previous guy said. I'd say if you send it in S-Off that you'll be fine. Here are some after low light shots that would have given me horrible artifacting before. The picture I posted before is the same spot and lighting of this first picture.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Here's the 2nd
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sheldor1967:
Excellent fix. Thanks for sharing...

Sent mine off today and left it s-off, so we will see in about a week....

Using my old Rezound in the meantime... Oh My GAWD is it s l o w.... Gonna be a lonnggg week!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
I stumbled upon this today. You'll be fine.

Camera Issue

I just got off a live chat with both verizon and HTC. Verizon said that they are aware of the camera issue but that HTC told them that it would be fixed with the next update. HTC on the other hand said that the problems are only fixed with replacing the camera. But i could try a replacement from Verizon. Verizon is sending me a newly refurbished replacement. And said that if it continues that they would open up a ticket with HTC to get it fixed. All under warranty of course. I did tell verizon rep not to update the phone to the newest update but she said they couldnt promise anything cause the replacements come straight from HTC. Which is good i guess cause maybe the camera has been replaced. But maybe not good cause its probably already updated to the latest firmware.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jessbowring:
You can choose to send the Verizon replacement back if it's on the newest update Your not obligated to keep it. I went with having my phone repaired by htc. Very glad I did. I went from hating my camera to loving it. I would not take a chance with a refurbished device, never know what you will get then. Someone else's problems lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lancasterv3:
Just curious did you re-lock your boot-loader, remove super su and return to stock odex ROM?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
You'll want to follow all but one of the steps in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2475216

You

won't

follow the step that returns your phone to S-On (the very last step). You'll lock your bootloader, flash the RUU and that should be good (can't remember the exact steps off the top of my head, but just check out that thread).
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Should have the VZW replacement I ordered in today...if its not the same quality as my phone that I had repaired by HTC or it's on 4.3, its going straight back to VZW and I'll just hope rumrunner gets updated...if it only has the camera issue, I might consider keeping it for s-off and just resending it to HTC. It'll be a game time decision haha
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jessbowring:
Yes just follow the return to stock locked instructions except for the last step. Lock bootloader, then flash the ruu. Flashing the ruu wipes su and everything else. Back up your phone it will be completely wiped on return.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Just got my VZW replacement in...4.2.2 and there doesn't seem to be any dust or stuck/dead pixels. Some minor gaps like mine used to have. Need to test the camera but even if it's janky I will just send it back to HTC for repair. Looks to be in better shape than my current One.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ecjr173:
I bought my phone new off of craigslist. And it was still under the one year warranty. But I updated to 4.3 before doing my research. So if my replacement is just as new as mine and has the camera fixed plus still on 4.2 then I will keep it to try and root. But I will definitely send it back if it's got some issues. Verizon did say that my replacement was coming directly from HTC so I'm hoping it's just as new as mine.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sheldor1967:
Good Luck! They got mine today, so I should know soon if the S-Off state is an issue...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
The more I held and used the refurb, the less I liked it. It did end up having camera issues (purple dots on one side of the screen when in a low light shot), there were lips on a lot of the edges, and the gaps were good sized (tolerable, but it all added up). Now that my One has no gaps and the camera is fixed, I think I'm going to stick with it and hope we get an updated rumrunner.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
I officially mailed back the VZW replacement phone...I'll be playing the waiting/praying game for awhile. Hopefully we get an updated rumrunner, but until then I guess I'll have more free time haha.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
Seems like all the Verizon replacements blow ass. I think I will request another once the other 2 crappy one's come in and if there's issues I'll send it into HTC. Assuming it's 4.2.2 I'll s-off and unlock the BL first and send it in for repair.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
So what do you tell them if its on 4.3? That you don't want it? They asked a ton of questions when I ordered my replacement Wednesday. It will be here Monday so hopefully I don't find anything wrong.

Edit: mine is out for delivery for today. Mail didn't come yet so well see soon.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
I just mailed mine back with a copy of the receipt and a note saying the phone had the same camera issues my current one has. As long as they get a phone back they shouldn't care.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
You don't have to tell them anything lol. I mean you're not happy with the replacement and that is all you need to say.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
I got mine from swappa from a guy that bought it new 2 months ago but I forgot to ask him for a receipt. I wasn't using it because of no root but I did discover it had camera issues which is why I called and complained and they sent me a replacement. Dunno what I can do about a receipt.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sheldor1967:
I am still waiting. They got it 10 am Thursday. I called yesterday and they said they had it but hadn't gotten to it yet. They also said that it could get fixed today (Saturday), but so far the repair shows that they don't even have it yet. I assume that is just someone being too lazy to update the page... I am sooo tired of my old Rezound. Sooo slow... Hopefully this is over soon.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sheldor1967:
DNA would awesome right about now :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Yea I think if my one is rootable, I'll keep the DNA. It's fully unlocked and I've tried it on att and tmobile with hspa speeds where as the one only gets edge with those SIM cards.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
Ah the DNA my friend went through like 5 of those. Blue spots dead pixels that HTC quality.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Nice 4.22 nothingn wrong I can see with the replacement I got. Takes photos fine, also no cosmetic issues. Nice.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
If you're on 4.3 like me, check out the rumrunner thread...good things are coming!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Yea fire water!! Just as I'm getting ready to ship my 4.3 model back hehe.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ecjr173:
So I received my replacement on Friday and it came with 4.2 and the camera was fixed. Verizon told me it was coming straight from HTC. The quality of this phone looks brand new. I noticed that the LED indicator/charging lights are brighter as well. So I immediately jumped on rumrunner and now have root and S-off. I just keep getting notifications about the update ready to install. Can I disable that or can I keep root and S-off if I update.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
I also notice the led is brighter too. You can install the update but you will loose root. You will need to push supersu through fastboot to get root again. But I would just flash a Rom rather than take the ota. If you have Windows 8.1 fastboot does not work so you need to use Linux.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ecjr173:
Ok I see. I'm having a hard time flashing a custom recovery. When I open a command window it says something like fastboot is not a recognized command. Is there a way or step by step tutorial on how to do this. Will ROM manager install it for me.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
You need fastboot installed. If your are on Windows 8.1 it wont work. You can install adb and fastboot using the tutorial here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277112

Make sure you get twrp recovery 3.6.4 as that is the one needed for HTC one from Verizon. You can try Rom manager if that will Install it for you.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ecjr173:
I have windows 7 so I will give this a try. Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
Inb4 you have dead/stuck pixels :crying:

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

So looks like a brand new exploit and not an update for rum runner?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Looks like it. I love how beaups is taunting VZW and HTC in the tweet he linked. I would assume that since 4.4 is in certification we'd see fire water once it's pushed so Verizon can't deny certification last minute to patch it...that's a complete guess, but we'll see!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Yea I would hope they would not stop certification to patch it. That sounds like something they would do being Verizon. Well I just hope that they don't take forever releasing the update. I would even take it to use firewater haha.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
I assume the new exploit would be for 4.3 and not 4.4
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Probably to begin with...they won't be able to patch the exploit with the 4.4 update since they won't know what it is, though. I also have no idea how that stuff works so I could be way off haha. Best bet is to not update once 4.4 is pushed (if fire water is released after 4.4).
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
Yeah I never take updates from Verizon :good:.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ecjr173:
So how would i push supersu thru fastboot. Is there a step by step on which commands to type. Is there a download for the supersu or would i use the one that came with rumrunner.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Well if you take the ota you loose root so you have to use adb to push a super su to the phone. But if you already have it from rum runner you are good to go. You should still be s off If you take the ota so you'll be able to push a super su zip on there through fastboot or adb. I would not take the ota though. Just root it , install custom recovery and install a 4.3 Rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ecjr173:
I like my phone stock running nova launcher. I just like some of the benefits of having root. Its just the update ready to install message is really bugging me. I would also like to learn what commands to type when pushing a supersu zip thru fastboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Once you have adb and fastboot working by using that guide I linked you can push a supersu zip by placing your zip in the location of adb and fast boot usually under the platforms-tools folder. Open a terminal command window in that location as administrator by holding shift, right click and click open command prompt here. Then do adb devices in the window. Make sure your phone is in debugging mode and fast boot under power options is left unchecked.

One you type adb devices it should spit back your HTC one model number. Then you can do adb push zip "name of supersu zip file " /sdcard/downloads or where ever directory on your phone you want it placed. But you need custom recovery installed so you can boot to twrp recovery and flash it.

If you boot the phone to boot loader and then select fastboot and connect the phone to pc, you can do the same thing except this time you are doing the command: fastboot flash zip " name of supersu zip"
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ecjr173:
OK got it. but when i try and accept the update it reboots into TWRP recovery and doesnt update. Am i doing something wrong here.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
It's trying to go into the stock recovery. See if you can locate where it downloaded the update from twrp and install it that way. If not, you need to install factory recovery using fastboot flash method mentioned above. Make sure it's the recovery for whatever build number you are on. Fastboot flash recovery "recovery image name " then do fastboot erase cache and reboot the phone and try to accept the update. I believe there is a stock 4.3 Rom available though, everything stock just debloated. Much easier to download that and flash in twrp.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ecjr173:
Would you happen to know the name of debloated Rom. Sounds easier to go that route.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Just look under the Verizon HTC one android developement section. There is a stock 4.3 route there.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] muness:
Fastboot works fine on Windows 8.1 with the latest firmware.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
What firmware is that, 4.3 ? I think yea I was able to run it on my 4.3 one which I just had replaced but I don't remember exactly if it worked or not.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] muness:
Yes, the firmware that came with 2.10.605.1 / 4.3. I installed it per santod's instructions in his thread.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
I guess if you are on 4.22 and Windows 8.1 then you will have issues. I could not get my 4.2 one to be recognized in fastboot when not in an os or in boot loader with 8.1.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sheldor1967:
I can't believe how slow HTC has been with my One. They got it Thursday at 10 am and today at noon, their tracking page finally showed that it was in for repair. So annoying. I sent it out a week ago and will be lucky to get it back by Friday. At this point, I don't even care if it's still S-off, I just want to give the damned Rezound back to my son! That lag is killing me... On the plus side, the One should feel lightning quick after 10 days on the Rezound!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] thatsricci:
Just keep us updated on the how long the progress takes :)

I'm cool with anything under 2 weeks, personally. Still haven't sent mine in yet, I have a trip this weekend, so maybe Monday I will!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sheldor1967:
Will do. The status finally updated to "In Repair" today, 8 days since I shipped it out. It's disappointing to me because I had seen several people post saying that it was only a week that they didn't have theirs.

Now, the Rezound is developing some screen flicker that is concerning. It it be time to recycle it...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lancasterv3:
I hope it doesn't take too long. I'll be sending mine out next week and ill be using my droid X, my brother is currently using my rezound. This should be an interesting week haha. Does impress me though their is still an active ICS ROM for the old girl, liquid non the less.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
That sucks man USPS is taking forever to deliver my two crappy dead pixel/dust under the screens back to Verizon. I'm going to try one more of their replacements and see what happens.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
I shipped mine out from a post office near my job, tracking says it should be there today. I think you have 5 days total. The replacement I got is good, but the camera seems to be whacky when taking pics in low light. Like the flash conglomorates the whole picture at times, or sometimes it will turn on then off when you tap to focus then on again when you take the picture finally, and it seems to have a delay.

Also seems in less than full light conditions there may be yellow tint on the side of the pictures at times. Then sometimes I don't really notice anything. Maybe I'll call and let them know again but I don't want to be stuck with a phone on 4.3 yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
They state you have 5 days but in reality it is longer. It is dependant on your billing cycle and once your bill is generated the fees will be added. So you could get a replacement on say Jan 1st and your cycle doesn't reset until the 3rd/4th of Feb. What that means is you could keep the device for 20+ days and ship it back and as long as it gets out before the next bill is generated they won't charge you. Even if they do charge you the fee once they get the device back all the fees will be reversed and taxes/surchages will be auto adjusted. The yellow tint in the camera sometimes is normal sadly, it was like this on every single one of my devices and even my friends Sprint One. The yellow tint only generally occurs as you stated in full light conditions and I believe the lens is just letting in too much light. Take it from me if there's nothing else really wrong with the device and you don't have scratches on the screen, yellow tint, dead/stuck pixels or dirt under the screen or any gaps just keep it. The quality control for this device and all HTC devices are mind blowingly bad. If I get a perfect device on 4.3 I might keep it since the new exploit seems to be coming soon.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Yea I'll leave it for now. I'm glad the yellow tint issue isn't something bad. I just hate smudges on my screen and need to order a screen protector soon. I've been putting off cleaning it with anything else because I don't want to mess it up.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sheldor1967:
I have been writing back and forth with an HTC Quality control person. They had sent me a survey, so I let em have it. Surprisingly, this lady was very validating. She totally agreed that the system should update quicker and said when I call, it should elevate the status, and whoever I talked to should have been able to find out more then they did. Not sure what that's worth ultimately, but it was the smart thing for her to say to me! Sadly, she also said that, once it does complete the testing they were doing to make sure the repair worked, it will take 3-5 days for it to ship back...So, next week some time...

On the plus side, no one has mentioned that it was S-Off! That doesn't mean they didn't turn it to S-On, but I'll take my victories where I can get em!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
I think I will rage at HTC with all the photos of dead/hot pixels and crap under my screens etc. I don't see why they would just S-On your phone or modify software on YOUR phone without your explicit permission. I hope you get your issue fixed while having the phone remain S-Off.

I have phone # 3 coming in from Verizon today. This will be One # 11? Man I have lost count by now LOL.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Good god man 11 phones. And you have not got a good one yet? I must live closer to one of their warehouses because the one I got back came pretty much mint. My only complaint is the yellow tint on camera in full light but like we said before that's normal I suppose.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
Yeah I had 8 total including the one I'm using right now from Best Buy. First one had home button light bleed, Second one developed a hot pixel 3 days after I got it. Third one stuck crap under the screen and we opened like 4 boxes in the store and they all had dead pixels. The one I currently have has a red stuck pixel or maybe its dirt idk in the middle of the screen. Verizon replacement #1 - Dead pixel and jagged edges yellow screen, Verizon replacement # 2 dirt under screen and yellow screen.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
I think this one is finally it. No scratches on the screen, no dead pixels no yellow screen 4.2.2 but not that it matters since firewater is out! Seems to be okay build quality a small gap and a nick or tiny discolored area like a spec on the back of it but that's no big deal. Hopefully my device shuffling is done and I can finally put this nightmare behind me haha.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
It won't matter now, root for 4.3 is out.
