No root on ginger

I am no expert but if it hasn't happened after this long will it ever happen? If someone could explain the process to obtain s off that would be great. Why is it taking so long?

Its taking long as we haven't found an exploit for Gingerbread temp-root, after we have that we can work on perm root.

Realistically, I'd give it another 5 to 6 months before someone figure out how to software-root our phone, for now....keep on dreaming.

Don't do it! If anything go for the charge. Had both and the thunderbolt is the lesser of the two imo. But I'm dropping the charge for the inc2 soon anyways so I hope someone gets lucky soon

Well maybe HTC will be nice enough to unlock our bootloader.http://www.htcdev.com The dev site is up.

no one needs anything beyond temp root...if you can get temp root you can run alpharevx and ur gtg
and i dont think it would 5-6 months for that, but i cant comment beyond that

well for the sensation evo 3d...there is no word on if/when it will come to verizon htc phones
and we would need a new update from htc/vzw to allow for the use of the unlock tool
fwiw its clear that they are working on 2.3.4 for the inc2

Also I guarantee they will have a way to know you used their tool and will automatically void your warranty. Not worth it.

I always assumed my warranty was gone when I rooted mine. It's insured even though I am careful with my stuff and have never needed it. If something should go wrong it might fall off the boat though.

As long as it doesnt have root on it when Verizon gets their hands on it your warranty is still good.

it depends on the conditions associated with it...i highly doubt it would violate the entire warranty, specifically as how it relates to hardware issues...however id forget ever trying to return a software bricked phone

That was made public knowledge Sunday night when HTC outlined the unlock procedure. In order to use the unlock service, you will need to acknowledge that unlocking the phone may void your warranty.

This confirms exactly what I was saying. I know is coming, but it's not here yet. So for the time being the op can use the phone on prepay. For how long who knows.

Sure....I called too and they said as compensation if your phone ends up blocked they'll give you a new note 4 in place of it.
By the way my point still stands, for this minute he can use it on prepaid. Oh and based on what you just said
"They'll do it on activation of service."
If is activated now he'll be good when they make the switch. I'm not sure where you're trying to go with the besides start a fight you're losing and looking stupid doing at the same time.
And for the record I have at mobile account with an active note I was just trying to help the OP my start a fight not sure why you even jumped in

Don't know. But it won't be an option for long. That is why I chimed in. We all knew it wouldn't last. For now yes it'll work. But after they enforce the black list who knows.

Was unlocked, did an exchange, now no more unlocking

Basically, made an idiot move by unlocking early and then exchanging my phone for reasons too complicated and boring to explain. Now, no more unlock. I guess my unlock.bin file from first phone is useless?

Yes, basically. You are now, unfortunately, locked until someone finds us a way to unlock. Or you could pay to have your phone s-off, via Sonic's thread. He purchased a javacard and is charging a fee, which I find to be very decently priced, to s-off peoples phone. You will have to send your phone to him, though, so unless you have a backup phone, you'll be without a phone for a few days.

Wow. Hope you had a good reason to lose an unlocked device.

let me guess, OCD and that little gap up top was too much, or that one little scratch in the trim, or 1 dead pixel...
:silly:

I had to make an exchange due to bad radios and lost my unlock also. A functional phone comes before unlock.

If your unlock token worked on your new phone it would work for all phones.
sorry you lost unlock.

And... Nrfitchett nails it. OCD resulting from crack flashing over years. Then Karma catches up.

doesn't that kind of make it look like fraud? idk since you never said why you exchanged it.
what did you say was originally wrong with your first phone

Buy the S-Off for $30 and call it a day. Drive your car around a little less this month, or eat out a little less and it'll be like nothing ever happened.

[Q] What changes did Verizon make to the HTC One?

I'm thinking about getting the HTC One but I want to know what changes Verizon's made to the device. Hardware and software changes. I currently have the Galaxy Note II and I'm disgusted with what Verizon did to the phone. Removing the WiFi toggle and replacing it with an ongoing WiFi notification that can't be disabled, removing Blocking Mode, putting their ugly logo on the home button, and making completely unnecessary changes to UI.

nothing to the hardware i dont think.
the software is raped with verizon stuff, per usual.
nothing a little root wont take care of though.
its a great device .

Also rooting this phone is very easy

none
All Verizon's bloat can be wiped out with root and a custom ROM, and it is so easy to root. Just download rumrunner, find your build number, right click in a exe file and let it go.
Get the device, i've had it for 6 months and really like it.

Think again. VZW deleted the FM App, but even if you reinstall it, you'll find that they also disabled the ability to have the headphone cord act as an FM antenna.
Result: instead of listening to any FM station in your location at no charge, you can run up Verizon data usage by an app like TuneIn.

So to this day the most updated HTC one for Verizon has an unlockable bootloader and is root able? I have the galaxy s4 and am considering buying one off contract but only if it's not locked down like the Samsung s4 is.

The specs are so close it doesn't matter... The Samsung is slightly better on paper but lags sometimes with bloated touch wiz and I think it's locked down right now.

Yes us s4's on Verizon are locked down. But we get to play around with some Roms due to Safestrap recovery. Last question. Anyone know the off contract price of the One? Only one I can find is from release day.

Can't u just unlock it with apps like galaxysim unlock?
also there are many posts about unlocking your phone on the forums u can DIY at home with just a couple of softwares and apps, all u need is to type unlock note 2 in search and follow the procedure under u're respective model number's forum
as for site I ain't so sure as I just use galaxysim unlock and i'm rooted but I don't think it needs root to be installed.Just await confirmation on that part from one of the others members and see what they suggest

Thanks for the feedback @aradhaya10 i found a couple of ways to do it for free but they all seem to have little risks. I may just try what you did. Im just looking for feedback because I've never really used any other method other than paying someone for a code.

There is a thread for unlocking galaxy s3 gsm, the same method applies for the galaxy note 2, you will and might have to roll back to earlier version of android, I think 4.1.1 but I forgot which baseband was successful, find that thread and you'll be golden. Should take you 10minutes top to roll back and unlock then update to which ever OS you want. No need to pay $40 or what ever.
