[Q] Verizon M8 Unlock/Root? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have any information on the ability to unlock/root the Verizon M8? I tried sorting through the information on the One (2013), but I can't really get a good read on the capability of unlocking/rooting a Verizon M7 on 4.4.2.

You'll have to wait for the root, it will be out very soon though...

The root instructions linked in another post here indicate unlock and root is not possible on Verizon. Is that just not yet or not ever?

Not yet because that method relies on HTC dev unlock, something verizon forces HTC to disallow.....therefore you can't flash a custom recovery and root zip file. However many devs are already working on s-off, root etc so just be patient and thank them when its out.

I'm running a gpe rom, sorry for hijacking but does anyone know the exact mesument that is outputted through ogt cable. i know my Fiio e17 works on gpe roms but not on some others.

I wanna jump on this Verizon by-one-get-one promotion but I'm hesitant b/c there is no root yet.
Should I worry about that at all?
I know there aren't any ETA's for root, but does anyone have an educated guess?
Thanks. (I need to tether for work.)

Assuming you only need root on your phone, get them and only activate the one. Just wait until root to use yours (the free one). It's easy math.

I am not worried about selling my phone. I've been watching Swappa and they're selling fast enough. I just would prefer it got into the hands of a developer.

I think what thepolishguy is trying to say is that he would like to sell this to a developer who may be able to use it in order to help us all gain access to an unlocked bootloader or S-OFF. That would be the best case scenario anyway. Best of luck!

honestly for S-OFF testing from two HTC phones I was a tester for.. (HTC Rezound (included use of a paperclip..., and the HTC Inc4gLTE)
your MUST be willing to brick your phone and it's your fault. not theirs..
best bet is if we get a team interested, we get a community phone bought using bounty thread and they have a phone to work off of.

This is still a good offer to any dev eager to build in which they either didn't get a chance to unlock or bricked theirs during testing. Of course not a large user base at this point but once a dev always a dev and they will get the itch!

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.

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...

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.

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.

M7 root/unlock question

Hello anyone. I'm brand new to HTC. I got a M7 today that has the 4.4.2/Sense 6.0 update. I come from primarily all Samsung devices which are extraordinarily easy to hack. All of this S-Off and different bootloaders and whatnot is foreign to me. I gather that the 4.4.2 update has thrown some sort of a wrench in things root wise. What's the easiest way to get a custom ROM on this thing? I'm fairly proficient with ADB. Appreciate any advice.
Thanks!

[Q] Will the G4 ever see all the known ROMS (Dirty Unicorns, Resurrection Remix,...)?

Coming from Samsung and Sony there were always many great ROMS available for the phones.
It looks like there's already a new phone in LGs scope which will come out soon.
(And there's also the locked Bootloader we have here - which might get opened sometime?)
What do you think about the LG G4?
Will developers skip the phone and directly proceed to the newer phone?
Will we ever see so much support like for the other phones (Samsung, Sony,...)?
What are your opinions?
Once the boot loader gets opened for everybody then i think we will see Roms.
Verstuurd vanaf mijn LG-H815 met Tapatalk
Based on how popular the G2 & G3 seemed to be (and really still are) I am sure once we gain the ability to flash ROMs they will start to flow our way. Even with the G4 Pro coming in December (allegedly) I do not think that will slow down the development for us, it will just give the Devs one more device to play with.
(We still have ROMs for both versions of the S6/S6 Edge and the Note 4/Note Edge)
Sooner or later yeah. But first people need root and ability to flash roms.

International version can already be unlocked, rooted and has twrp availible. I am quite confident that there will be developement done. But the device is quite new so let the devs some time.

"We" don't have root yet. Yes there are a couple of devs that were able to root a phone, after bricking their first phone. While it is highly likely that there will be a root method released to the masses, there is no guarantee that everyone will get root access. I bought my G4 with the assumption that we'll get it, but also aware that we may never get it. My S4 is my daily driver until we get root access for the G4.
It should be much easier to find a safe way (for Joe Schmoe) to root, with the rooted G4 they currently have.

It sounds to me like someone is trying to make himself feel better about not having a G4.
....As was already stated we already have Root Access, it is just a matter of waiting for it to be released to the GenPop via a safer method.

...stop trolling dude. We're going to have root. It's already there. Devs are waiting for a safe release first.

Please enlighten the rest of us too and show us where root is may be you read news from third party sources, but peoplespeak what they see on xda and from what I know, there is no root method yet published here, so why call him troll?

The devs themself, specifically JCase have already posted proof they have root.
He's a troll because he's been blowing up other threads with his poppycock

Sorry for the late response, but I see someone else already answered the question for me (About the devs themselves providing proof of root being fully possible on our G4's)

Nope, but you can not rush an artist. All we can do is play the waiting game....it's like being a child waiting for Santa, hah.

I Just got my new G4 for fathers day through sprint unfortunately, also have a LG G Flex 2 which is a POWERHOUSE. well both are monsters, but i cant wait for root and unlocked bootloader+carrier unlock, hopefully they all come soon.
also i just went from a G2 to the G Flex 2 to the G4, love them all
I have a question. I understand that root has been achieved on the G4 and that the method hasn't been released. My main question is this: when that method or other methods are released, would any of them offer a bootloader unlock along with it or would users have to rely on the LG site to do so? Right now I have the 815 version and know the bootloader is unlockable but do not have a pc to do the bootloader unlock process. Am I better off waiting for an official release here on xda that may involve a bootloader unlock?
