I don't want to sound impatient or anything because I'm not I love my htc one as is but am just curious if any devs are getting closer to a unlock or root without the s-off tool. I've seen that there is a large bounty right now so I feel there should be devs at least trying to figure out something but it seems like I'm not seeing much info. anywhere and am only seeing people using s-off cards and stuff and I can't send my phone off. Any ideas?

It has barely been a month. It's going to take awhile. If you aren't happy running stock on a phone don't buy it brotha.

There are multiple posts scattered here and there that hint/speculate that an exploit has been found and the devs are waiting on 4.3.
If you don't want to wait then send your phone off for S-Off, but please don't rush the devs. The exploit will come when it comes.
Can we lock this yet?
Just hold on tight, it will be here soon!
There is an exploit floating around, but it needs work.

Exactly why bounties are a horrible idea IMHO. Donating for people's efforts is one thing, but bounties are almost always counterproductive unless someone already has an exploit that they don't want to burn.
Its so funny after leaving iOS for my Gnex almost 2 years ago, I never thought I would be reading about "burning exploits" and "waiting for updates to release tools".
Oh well, the good thing about Android is, even "locked down" android is still amazing! The sexy hardware and looks of the phone take the sting out of waiting also haha

Why? Not "burning" exploits is a damn good idea. What happens when, lets say, the exploit was released now and then HTC took an extra week to patch it? Like getting insurance or warranty replacements? Too bad we wasted the exploit. Look what happened with the DNA and 2.04. It is literally the best idea to wait until the OTA comes out. This way, the majority of users get s-off and HTC will have a harder time patching it.

i remember picking the dna up in april and it immediatly took the update for 2.04 then it took the 2.06 one. only a couple months went by and they came out with moonshine on linux then a window's version came out. i returned my phone back to stock to get 4g back and then i used the window's way. it is great to wait for the ota like you said so many more android's can get unlocked or s-off!!! :good:

I think it is user preference at this point. If root is extremely important to you and you don't want to deal with the uncertainty of it ever happening, or in a timely manner, then maybe the Thunderbolt is for you.

Is there any news regarding this? I know with the recent HTCdev lockdown, unlock is not possible, but it sounds like root is easily achievable.
I really only need to root. I don't really use any of the features that unlock would give me. Heck, the only root function I use is Titanium backup. I get free tethering (share everything) and always stick with the stock ROM.
Is anybody actually working toward a root only solution? Or is all the effort directed to a s-off unlock solution?
Same. I want to know as well. This guy seems like if it's such a cakewalk he should do it but as long as someone can figure it out I will be happy

Bootloader unlock is sufficient for flashing ROMs and rooting. S-Off is kinda superfluous.

I honestly think if its THAT much of a cakewalk he should just be able to do it, or to basically hand it to a dev (which he kind of said he did) instead of hinting at all this and doing nothing.
But it's not my place, so hopefully someone DID get the info and will have it unlocked asap
Yeah but better he hint to tip someone off then say nothing at all you know... Plus he like all the rest of us has a life outside of xda and I'm sure he has good reasons... I mean he has already done so much for many devices

I thought you couldn't write to /system while booted unless you were S-Off. Has that changed? When the DNA was unlocked we weren't able to do so until Beaups (I think) found a workaround with the kernel.
Also, JCase, in a previous tweet, said his PREVIOUS exploit still worked on the Verizon One. I haven't searched, but maybe it's already been released?
I'm at work so I can't look up the specific tweet for you guys.
He said he already passed the root exploit on

Not yet. Hopefully soon, but who knows. Htc is getting better at finding exploits and fixing them. I have a fear that pretty soon no phones will be able to get s-off.

Are you serious? You just took a huge shot at the devs that generously donate their time to give us some very awesome roms. I can't really even believe you just said that. Why are you here? What a joke.

The addition of "lol" only makes it look like you're bashing the roms we have even more. Maybe next time just proofread what you type so you don't accidentally come off like a **** or call people idiots in a poorly constructed post.

If I was bashing the devs work I surely wouldn't be laughing about it now would I? I would be serious. In all the years on different android forums I never once saw a person bashing a devs work end it in lol. I have supported many devs over the years and with the HTC one recommended many Roms to members on here. I just tested a fix for data drops on the latest viper one Rom for a dev. Anyone that knows me can say I don't bash a devs work unless they steal from another dev and try to pass it off as their own work.
So next time when you can't understand a post ask the person what they meant or just ignore the post all together. Instead of attacking the person blindly.

Thanks for the post and kind words. I have always tried to help where I can.
Your right neo has been dragging his feet far to long. We need to drag him kicking and screaming over to the One side lol. If I had the money I would buy him a One just so he could dev over here. Not saying viper one or any of the other Roms are bot good enough. Just the more the merrier and more options for us users. I have been rocking viper one one since release and has been a beast for me.

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.
:fingers-crossed:

It works on HTC One, I won't be releasing it until first week of August when I no longer need it myself.

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?

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.

Asurion sent me one with 4.3 but I spent hours trying to achieve s-off and root blah de blah with no success so I excepted the 4.4 update....

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.
