has anyone heard anything on root for the new OTA update? just curious, havnt seen any info mentioning anything. does alpharev have twitter or anything that they use to discuss current projects/status?
It is still very new, probably won't have root for this version for a few weeks. Of course, I could be wrong, I'm just taking a shot in the dark. For 2.3.3 it took a few months.
Just have some patience and it will be rootable before you know it.
Petes One Click?
Unfortunately the only way at this point to root 2.3.4 INC2's is using the XTC clip. I can't say for sure if they are even working on rooting 2.3.4 because who knows we may be upgraded to 3.0 and are waiting for that. but like I said the only thing I can say for sure is the XTC clip.

Going forward with ota s....get s off....wait for ruu from jcase or whoever or a rooted rom to upgrade
Taking the ota is pointless

This isn't true. I just got my phone a few weeks ago and it came with 2.3.4
I followed the instructions here. This was my first smartphone/rooting experience. It went flawlessly. So if I can do it, you should be able to as well (assuming you are mildly tech oriented).
No clips needed, just need to downgrade hboot to .97
Good luck

I want to buy the G2 but the one I'm looking at comes with 2.3 unrooted. How could I downgrade the phone to root it from 2.2? Again, it comes UNrooted with 2.3
There are several how to's I recommend the wiki.

Aren't those only dealing with previously rooted phones?
Nope. I followed the wiki when I got my unrooted 2.3. Downgraded to 2.2 and everything was gravy after that
Could you link me to the page please? Thanks so much guys. I'm going to go pick it up tomorrow and the Guy said he'd throw in 15 bucks because its 2.3. I'm trading him a mytouch 4g

Currently you have to be on 4.2.2 in order to use rumrunner to gain s-off. Sounds like we'll have an updated method soon, though.

I'm not sure when the new method of s-off will be available, but your best bet would be not to take the 4.4 update from Verizon since you can't downgrade like the previous post mentions.

Right, if you're on 4.3 you're stuck for now. It will posted in the Original Android Development section when it's ready. The instructions for the method will be in the thread when it's posted.

I had a similar problem. Just get into a live chat with a customer service rep and say the phone hasn't been working properly since the update. They ship out phones with 4.2.2!

It won't be long until we get s-off for 4.3. I did the replacement thing, but the phone had gaps and didn't line up...had the camera issue too. I sent it back. I'd rather have my original phone over a refurb. Just my .02 though.

In case you haven't seen it by now, the new S-Off program is called firewater, and you can follow them on twitter @firewaterdevs. They have posted a video of it in action on youtube. Lets keep our fingers crossed that it is released soon.

It's tough to say... the S4 got the 4.3 update before any other carrier surprisingly. Whether or not that was just a mad push to sell more Galaxy Gear I dunno, but perhaps their updates are starting to roll out quicker these days.

Perhaps. In my eyes all the carriers are all about the $$$$$.
On the other hand you would think Verizon wouldn't make such foolish decisions such as delaying the One for FIVE MONTHS. I bet they lost tons of money trying to sell their crappy Droid lineup and failing miserably. They also delayed the S4 by about a month behind other carriers. I really don't know what goes through their head honestly. Whatever it is, it's not intelligence...

YAY! And only several months away...
Yeah, that is quite a long time from now. Does anyone know how to get in touch with Sonic to see if he still has the Java card? He hasn't been on the forums in a couple months.

better late than never? :angel:
For sure! I am not a dev so I respect anyone who works on our devices so I am def not being impatient just was joking a little...
justin (@jcase) is a great mobile security researcher and developer of many Android exploits, I've been followed his work for quite some time now. Although the tweet didn't say it was specifically for the HTC One, the thought of 4.4.2 being able to root is a HUGE step forward for those that are stuck on the OTA.

Oh, absolutely. I am glad someone was working on it and finally achieved root. I am jumping the gun here assuming HTC sends me back my HTC One with 4.4.2 anyways. Really hoping its anything but!

I sent mine directly to HTC. Most people seem to get theirs back with 4.3, but 4.4.2 is readily available now. I am hoping I get it back with 4.3. I did have S-OFF on 4.4.2, but I RUU'd back to stock 4.2.2 after hearing HTC denied the warranty claim on a user who was S-OFF.
I hope my next device that HTC is mailing out to me will not be on 4.4.2. The one I got that had the terrible purple/pink tint came as 4.2.2. Hopefully another exploit is found as 5 months on stock would be torture .
Does this mean S-off vulnerability as well or only root without S-off?
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk 2
By itself it means root only. But once you have root that means firewater will then work for s-off, as temproot is what is failing for firewater on our bootloader.

Hey everyone, I am a complete Noob to the One and HTC devices in general (I've been using Nexus devices for a while) so please bear with me. I picked up a HTC One that should be here shortly and I was researching rooting and ROMs, which brought me here. It sounds like 4.4.2 cannot be rooted due to the new bootloader lock, but I came across two links that say that the One on 4.4.2 can be unlocked at HTCdev.com, and another that says the rumrummer tool now works. So I'm just looking for some clarification on what I can expect when the phone gets here. Do those methods work at all?
No at the moment no current method available works on 4.4.2. However a new exploit is set to be released in early august.
Don't wait to root. You may lose the opportunity. Root isn't guaranteed. Especially with every update.

Such frequent updates are very great. E.g. Samsung doesn't get near the update speed of HTC currently, as many others as well. If you don't like HTC anymore I'd advice you to just sell the phone and stop talking this way as this doesn't help anyone here. Just my 2 cent.
Thanks at the OP for this helpful information :good:
