I have been searching with no luck. Is there a way to root and s-off my One if it already has the 4.4 update.
No it looks like those of us who got the 4.4.2 ota without s-off are stuck for now. New hboot version locked out old exploits in rumrunner and firewater

Is it possible with the 4.3?

Yep, you should be able to find the firewater s-off site pretty easily - look for the temp root method if on Verizon 4.3

If your still s-off , can't you just reflash a superuser package? If your not, have you tried tacoroot method ?

I'm pretty sure there are threads already posted about achieving s-off on already rooted devices. Check around.

If you are HTC Dev unlocked then you need to use the instructions to get s-off for dev unlocked. If all else fails use a different computer.

I have and HTC One Verizon running android 4.3. It has a locked bootloader and S-On..
I tried to S-off using rumrunner but I get stuck on this error - "ERROR: looks like device is not rooted AND lacks an unsecure kernel. su or FU!!"
What do I need to do so it won't happen??
Thanks!!!!

Rumrunner won't work with 4.3. You must be on 4.2.2. Shouldn't be long before there's a method for 4.3. Just not yet.

Alright. Thank you!
Are there any other ways to root or S-Off with 4.3? In the same boat here and it's annoying...

Works for all models. Just got root/S-OFF my VZW One the other day with no problems.
It works, I'm on 4.3 hboot 1.55. Firewater unlocked bootloader and s-off.

I can't believe it!!!! IT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
S-off worked very well, thanks. Now if I could just undo the damage from trying a custom ROM.

Silly question. Once I use firewater and achieve S-OFF, what next? just install SuperSU from the play store to have root access? Also, do you lose data with Firewater? On 2.10.605.1.
Thanks.
No data loss, but you have to flash cwm or tarp and install superuser from there. At least I think, I'm kinda new at this too.

I believe after you gain S-off you have to install a custom recovery. Then you'll have to flash a ROM with SU in it.
Howdy, new HTC One M8 owner here. Coming from Galaxy S4.
There is a lot information here pretty overwhelming. I'm trying to get my bearings. I have unlocked my BL and have not yet installed a custom recovery or root yet. I also have not taken any updates.
Is there a general consensus on which recovery is most compatible with our device?
What is S-Off? I mean I have the jist secure off, but what does this allow, and how do I achieve S-Off?
How do I verify I'm SIM unlocked and if not procedure to achieve this?
Finally with all of the development is there a thread that runs through the ROMs so I can choose one that best fits my need?

S-OFF if you change CID and model information and be able to flash any firmware but to flahs normals ROM zip files you absolutely dont need SOFF

I factory reset still my data turns off and on when hot spot is activated. I have done nothing but installed TWRP and S Off. This is ridiculous.
Any other ideas?

So, my one updated to sense 6 yesterday and I was wondering if there was a boot loader unlock and s off method similar to moonshine for the DNA? Also would a method(if there is one) for the m8 work for this phone?

No know exploits right now for root, unlock, or s-off. Once we get a temp root you can try firewater that was meant for android 4.4.2, but they're no guarantee that it will work.
AFAIK the M8 s-off methods wont work. I advise not using them.
Dear all,
Is it possible to receive OTA Update if we are living out of USA? I'm living in Brazil and currently 4.4.2 with sense 5.5 and I'd to uptade to sense 6.0.
Here we have only GSM net, any possibility for using CDMA or a Verizon net, I'm using my HTC ONE Verizon in global mode (GSM)
Could someone help me on this or give any tip?
Verizon HTC One
Rom/Stock 4.4.2 - Sense 5.5:
Bootloader Locked
Cannot get the update without being on Verizon network.
