[Q] Rooting/Unlocking Verizon HTC One on Kitkat - Verizon HTC One (M7)

I have a Verizon HTC ONE with android version 4.4.2 KitKat that is not rooted or unlocked. I know that Verizon blocks the regular form of unlocking it through the htcdev site so I wanted to know if there was an alternative way?
Can I install Android JellyBean instead of KitKat and use RumRunner?
Is this not possible unless the phone is unlocked and rooted?
Thanks!

You have to wait until an exploit is found if your bootloader is locked.

Thanks! I'm new to this so I have a question about that.
It says make sure you have a working adb and use it. Is this a form of terminal on my pc or something and where could I download this? Thanks

I'm not sure you can use that if you are locked and complete stock. Google how to set up adb for your os. Or search some threads in the main sections. There are lots of guides.

As I am a relatively new user to XDA (I'm not new, just new to posting) and it won't let me post links until after like 10 links or so, all slashes / will be replaced with asterisks * to make the forums think I'm not posting a link.
The ADB is the Android Debug Bridge. It comes built in to the Android SDK (Software Developer Kit). I'm not sure if it works standalone.
Anyway, this is what you do:
1. Download the SDK from here: http:**developer.android.com*sdk*index.html. It's 480 mb. By my home's Internet speed, that is a ginormous file. So if your Internet speed is anything like mine, allow about 30 minutes for download. And make sure your computer has the power to unzip a 480 mb ZIP file. This also installs Eclipse, which is basically a program you use to write Android apps. (If you think you may develop apps but you want an alternative to Eclipse, try the Android Developer Studio here: http:**developer.android.com*sdk*installing*studio.html)
2. Once it's installed and everything, navigate to: <sdk install directory>\sdk\platform-tools. Go to the address bar. Click in it, hit Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+C to copy, and Ctrl+V to paste it somewhere. I recommend a Notepad document or something. Then navigate to Computer. Click on System Properties and then Advanced system settings. At the bottom of the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables... Find the "path" variable. Paste the sdk\platform-tools link AT THE END OF THE VARIABLE. Make sure that you put a semicolon at the end of it. Click Okay and whatnot.
3. Open command prompt.
4. Type "cd <sdk install directory>\sdk\platform-tools"
5. The ADB should now work. Type "adb" before running any commands. List: http:**developer.android.com*tools*help*adb.html
Sorry if someone already said something about this. I started typing it before I went to lunch and I am finishing and posting this coming back from lunch.

New and Improved way to Unroot your device (much easier) [difficulty level 4]

So I am moving onto a new phone so I will not be supporting this thread anymore. Please help each other the best you can. Also if anyone wants to take over and support this thread feel free. Last but not least if anyone wants to use any of the items I put into this also feel free. Remember that android is made possible with contrbutions from viewers like you!
Check out my new guide its much easier and automated now!!
Sorry but I no longer have the files that were in the zip as my laptop that they were on no longer has a charger so I really don't have a way to pull them off until I come up with extra funds to buy a charger for that dinosaur!
I have updated the commands so everything will be working correctly.
Please note this a guide to unrooting your device and returning it to stock, if you have nothing stock and didn't back anything up i.e. modded rom, changed recovery, eng. bootloader.
If you didn't follow the ultimate guide then you will not need to follow steps 1-7. Just follow from 8 on.
Also keep in mind this was created assuming you followed the ultimate guide to permaroot turning radio s=off and changing cid thus unlocking phone.
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone blah blah blah.
Also if I am incorrect in any of these steps someone please let me know.
Also this is just a guide that I wrote using all the others. Please thank and donate to grankin01 for providing the original guide and also thank/donate to tiger013 for providing a stock nandroid. Also thank Football for providing new rom.
With that said here we go:
Download the PD15IMG file and rename it to PD15IMG.zip
1. Copy PD15IMG.zip and "part7backup-whatevernuberitscalled.bin" to the root of your sdcard
2. Connect your phone to your computer and navigate to your sdk folder then type adb push gfree /data/local
3. Open up terminal emulator or adb shell and type "su" press enter to get root privileges.
4. Type "cd /data/local" and hit enter
5. Type "chmod 777 gfree" and hit enter to make the program executable.
6. Now type "./gfree -f" press enter to run gfree again. It will disable wp on the emmc and remove the brq filter in the kernel. (as well as make another backup. delete this)
7. Now run the "dd if=/sdcard/part7backup-whatevernumberitscalled.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7" and it should show the output:
xxxx bytes in
xxxxbytes out
xxxxxxxxxx copied in xxxxxxxxxxx
8. Run "sync" and then reboot.
9. Let phone load then boot into bootloader again by holding volume down and pressing power
10. Let it load image and select yes to update.
11. Let it do its work it will reboot once this is normal.
And that should be it. Enjoy stock rom.
Great job! I un-rooted worked fine! Then I re-rooted worked fine also!

I assume this will not work if you have made a backup with clockwork? Also your instructions say apply nandroid backup, but there is no option in recovery for appy nandroid backup. There are options to update from update.zip and another one from a zip file. The folder inside you unroot package is not a zip file?

I did S=off with it (plus radio) with root explorer and terminal emulator only. It was much easier and quicker.

I put the nandroid file on my sdcard, but in recovery when i go to restore there it says no files. What do I need to do to get this to work. I have a replacement coming to me so I need to figure this out.
Edit: Sorry I'm an idiot. I got it know. Thank you so much for posting this.
Edit2: Crap! Ok I have s=on now but i still have hboot 0.86.0000 Shouldn't I have the old one now?
Where is the "part7backup" located? Also, what is it?
this sucks... i followed everything perfectly but now my recovery is screwed up ugh this is so frustrating i have that stupid phone with a red triangle thing when i try to boot into recovery (yes im aware its supposed to be stock recovery not clockwork)

where has fastboot gone?

hi guys!
I'm completely new to the forum but I didn't find the introduction section like in other forums, so sorry if I first didn't present myself there!
I just got a galaxy nexus and I'm using a mac.
I was able to unlock it and now I would like to root it in order to install the Android Revolution HD ROM and all over the web the developer team says to root the phone using fastboot. The problem is that all the links redirect to the modaco page with the first actual link and this takes you to a filesonic page which is down for the moment...
I guess this is caused by the recent sopa and pipa...
What am I supposed to do? is there any other way to download it?
every rooting guide I found talks of using fastboot...
thanks!
Do you have the android sdk installed?

Pretty sure those links have been down for a while.. check the dev section for other ways to root.

But since the developers say that you ned a gnex rooted with fast boot I thought I had to use that method in order to use their rom. So I can use any Method I want to root it?
If you've unlocked the bootloader then you have already used fastboot so just use the fastboot commands to flash CWM and then use that to flash the root package. Get the latest Superuser package from here:

Fastboot is not a program you should download. It is the menu that appears wat your GN when you start up your phone with Volume up + Volume Down + Power button. You should however download the appropriate files for unlocking and rooting etc. See other threads on what those files are...
If you installed the android sdk then it should be in the platform tools folder.

att fusion 2 / u8665

Hello so I am new to these forums but have used them in the past for assistance. I have been trying to root a att fusion 2 aka u8665 ive seen a couple posts on here about how to and someone said they were successful but vauge steps cause frustration.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920528
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976657
As i said i have been trying for a while and basically tried everything listed in those two posts, also the post where they said they managed to attain root through fastboot confused me. From what i understood fastboot needs root to be able to operate, otherwise the steps in the post about using adb i just keep running into permission issues where i cant mount anything to root it.
I had trouble myself, but figured it out. I recompiled all the files posted by RFE.

If anyone else would like to contribute please do. I've had 5 attempts at registering this type of device without triggering a call-home. I've swapped out 90% of all the components that brand the phone AT&T (including huawei-hardware-extensions & mobile phone "care"??). When using Titanium Backup you will notice that some of the specially protected APK files cannot be removed or "found" - you will get the message "APK file not found." The only way to get around this is to use fastboot and pull the file from the device before removing it. If you remove the wrong system APK your phone won't be bricked, but it will give you infinite android.acore force close loops and other nasty crippling bugs (such as no touch-keys backlight). If you want to be sure that you are not doing any damage, do a full reboot and cache clear after uninstalling any of the AT&T prepaid system components. Many of the system components can not be removed or replaced with other versions until their dependencies are replaced or removed as well. Titanium Backup once again comes in handy and lets you select an android ID or "profile" which is a UID that is tied to your Google Play / Android Market account. You will have to create a new random Android ID after you have have replaced all the apps. Make sure you remove any files like Twitter that have been specially made for this phone & include a long unique ID like Twitter-3-6-0-(123456)--00000_V300_001.APK - the phone is incredibly fast without any google or ATT stuff on it.

[GUIDE] Rooting your phone...from your phone [ALL US SGS3]

Rooting your phone...from your phone (what?!)
DISCLAIMER: I do not expect anything to go wrong as I have personally tested this. However, YOU are choosing to make these modifications to your phone so I DO NOT take responsibility for any damage that may come as a result of using this. If you come back and point the finger at me, I will laugh at you.
If your phone is not an SGS3, this MAY still work for you. I take absolutely NO responsibility either way.
Prerequisites
The following files are attached to this post for convenience. Download and install the apps, download and extract the zip file somewhere convenient.
Superuser by Koush(MUST be this one. You can change it later if you so desire.)
Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich ( MUST be this one)

THE GOODS
These generic names will be used:
/path/to/motochopperDir - This is the full path to the extracted motochopper-mobile DIRECTORY or FOLDER. Example: /sdcard/motochopper-mobile (will vary depending on where you extracted the files).
NOTE: After running the script, Motochopper may or may not print "Failed", but the exploit DOES indeed work regardless of this. Make sure you reboot for changes to take effect.

Download the attached zip file AND both apps.
Install Terminal Emulator and Superuser (use a file manager, navigate to the downloaded .apk files and click on each file to install them).
Open up Terminal Emulator and type the following commands. Press the ENTER key after each command.
Code:
cd /path/to/motochopperDir
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /path/to/motochopperDir
From there, my setup.sh script will handle the rest of the process. If you are still unsure, see my sample run below.
Sample run (files were extracted to /sdcard/moto)
Code:
cd /sdcard/moto
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /sdcard/moto

Just in case its true...
I heard that they've patched against the Motochopper exploit either in later 4.1.2 builds like MD5 or starting in 4.2.2.
I haven't been able to confirm either way but in case it does affect MD5, I thought I'd go ahead an mention it.
If so, downgrading would solve it of course.
I kinda doubt itll be necessary since we were able to use this to root the T999L. (Its a 4.1.2 build, but is about 4 months older than MD5 from what I can tell)
Anyway, thanks man! Always cool to see new ways of doing something!
Can anyone say if any of that is true for certain?

OTAs always have a potential to break exploits like motochopper. Even more so since this device was not "officially" supported to begin and it was only discovered as a side-effect.
If you are on an MD5 based rom, you can easily test it. Go into recovery, make a backup real quick. Then, using a root browser, delete the /system/xbin/su file. Follow the instructions in the OP as if you were rooting for the first time. You can always restore your backup/reflash your rom if it does not work.

Most devices I've seen, with or without a removable battery can be reboited by holding oiwer for a few seconds. Once it goes off, release power, then immediately hold whatever combo is required to boot to recovery/download or whatever.
Cnexus, I'm sorry I didn't do this like I said last night. Bout to head home from taking my daughter to her moms, so I can't see any reason I can't try tonight. Will let you know!

No problem man, take your time. Strange how the only other confirmation I've gotten has been for the Sprint S3
The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.
Yeah, I'd give it a lityle more time though. Things like this eill be slowing down I think since most who are already here are already rooted, and the flow of new s3 users is slowing due to new devices coming out.
I actually think if we can get someone with the T999L to try it it'll get more use. We already know the exploit you employ works for it and all new s3's will be the T999L. So most who may need it will likely have that model.

No I get su not found thanks anyways, really need a way to root with usb as my rooting the first time around messed up all connections to pc and then I tried flashing factory image going to restore function but that didn't work either.

No I get su not found thanks anyways, really need a way to root with usb as my rooting the first time around messed up all connections to pc and then I tried flashing factory image going to restore function but that didn't work either.

[HOWTO] Root Android 4.3 on samsung galaxy nexus

This rooting technique Finally worked you will need three files
1) SDK TOOLS from
2) recovery.img from
3)MRKREHANROOT from
you should have unlock boot loaders USB drivers installed and should be on android 4.3
copy mrkrehanrehanroot3.1.zip in sdcard
be in fastboot mode ie switch off your device and hold both volume up and down and power button together and keep your device connected to PC
Extract the sdktools and place the revovery.img in that folder
then with one finger on shift key right click in an empty space in the folder and select open command window here
then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it will flash recovery to your device
in recovery no need wipe anything install the zip mrkrehanroot3.1.zip
and reboot
download any app that requires root access and check for example root explorer
it should ask root acess
in this way you have rooted your device
Keep the thanks rolling and follow me on

I use that method, cannot restore any app with TB or install Busybox, for some reason it's root but not completely.
This thread shouldn't be in dev section, and there were bunch of root method threads/posts that could be easily found.

Read description:
Titanium Backup is an example of such an app. It may incorrectly detect the path to your internal storage for backups, and thus crash on backup/restore. You can fix this by going into preferences and selecting a folder under /storage/emulated/legacy as backup/restore path, not under /storage/emulated/0.

No busybox from the apps don't install correctly with chainfire's root. I have the same problem.

OK bro if you say I did thank to u but if u had it you should have shared it first and should have had a guide of it and u should have shared I did it because I spent my whole night flashing recovery and finding proper ways to root it finally did it when I found the file so I flashed the recovery the mini SDK tool they are mine but I did not know who to thank for the root so I just mirrored it but I put up a guide here so its not my fault I am sorry that I hurt the sentiments

dude relaxy, if you get worked up everytime someone says that there is another way of doing what you are saying you wont get very far cuz honestly there are always multiple ways to stuff... however i do agree with you chainfire clearly said on g+ that the root method is specifically for the s4 leak.. anyway its upto the users they can either use your method or chainfires.. i will try your method once i flash 4.3 :good:
