Well seems like even HTC don't know the answer to this.
How about adding age limit to this site?

I'm afraid that would "work" like elsewhere over the net
HTC initially said end of Q2, which would mean end of this month but I am unsure if that has changed or not.
Good morning

I don't think that an age limit is what should be added. I believe that we should add an account age limit(about 1-2 months or so) to prevent noob spamming.... There are more 13 year olds here who know how to root/flash here that some 25'ers

It will be rolled out when it's finished.
I was bored one day and went on to the Desire wiki page.
They claim there it'll be released this month.
Either way, the outcome won't help me either way, I'm using a custom ROM.

Even folks who use custom roms MAY benifit from a HTC released 2.3 version of the system as it may be used in future custom roms.
And who knows despite of all the usual whining about HTC they MAY have made some improvments!

Hopefully this what will be the rumored OTA update.
Right now, you have to be one of the lucky few to be set S-OFF and rooted by AlphaRevX and running ClockworkMod recovery in order to flash the pre-rooted ROM. For those who are not that lucky (yet), enjoy the pictures and videos while we all wait for AlphaRevX to release the full unlock for the Incredible 2. Note: Please note that we recommend against flashing the full signed RUU (i.e. the original un-rooted leak), as it will prevent the root and unlock method by AlphaRevX.
***someone was going to ask so I figured I'd just post it n save everyone the dumb questions***
Side note... "Enjoy the video n pictures and keep drooling cause we still havent rolled out our new beta"
.... Jerks...
I decided against posting it at XDA for the time being, as I don't want to support the thread.
While on topic. How are these upgrades usually done, do they work fine being upgraded with all your stuff alongside. Is there benefit in doing a factory reset of your phone and doing a clean install, sort of like regular computers benefit from.
Or are android os updates usually good enough to simply upgrade without doing anything else?

If its an ota upgrade, you simply install it. If you are changing roms (after a root) or upgrading a non stock rom it is usually recommended that you wipe and clear your cache for optimal results.
Hmm... Have a 2nd Inc 2 that has to go back to assurion for speaker issues, thinking of loading the ruu on phone just to have a peek.. wonder if they'd notice?

I hope we get to uninstall the bloat too with this update. That would be great!

On UK T Mob and just got the small update then the 350mb one, phone restarted, did another small update, restarted again, and it was a full factory reset complete with no apps etc but ALSO internal storage has been wiped??? All my photos, downloads, music etc has been wiped? Surely this isn't normal?
Really miffed about it, didn't have backups of most of it. Another nail in the coffin for HTC selling me another phone, ever.

Why open a new thread to tell everybody this?
Should of backed it up first to be honest. Try using some recovery software like Recuva
Does this mean That T- mobile has released the JB update in the UK?
I'm currently waiting for it but can't check OTA as I'm rooted running Viper at the moment.

But thanks for your input... As to backing up, it was a carrier OTA so didn't see the need to backup /sdcard as after years of changing unsupported ROMs I've never lost the storage, so assumed a carrier/OEM one would be safe.
To the others, yes it appeared this morning. I'd be a bit careful about applying it though!
Tathan what's your cid? Branded or unbranded?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
ITs unusual but by all accounts from the JB threads here there are bugs, as its flash memory its not going to be possible to recover anything. Best you can do is moan to tmobile and see if they will pay your compensation.
Btw mate best thing to save precious things like pics etc is let g+ sync always when on WiFi u don't need to have that folder shared

I did have but turned it off because I was scared of the Internet, I'm usually quite good at backing up but just got complacent having never lost anything!
The 25th of February was the last time I asked this, and it's been a week and a day since then, so I figured that its an appropriate time to ask.
Can a stock Verizon HTC One (the standard One, not Max, not Mini, not dual-SIM) running stock Android 4.4.2 KitKat OTA be rooted yet?
Thanks,
Andrew

Nope. You'll see a thread pop up when its possible. Just scan around the Verizon HTC One forums. When an update happens there's usually chatter in the Rumrunner thread.

It'll happen when it happens. I want to root my phone as much as the next guy, particularly so that the titanium backup app I paid good money for will have a purpose, but having previously come from a sprint gs II, the "stock" version of this phone is leagues ahead of others I've seen. Root is almost unnecessary.

I agree with you 99%. In fact the only reason I want to root this phone is so I can install adaway.
Tethering
I need root to tether as the 4.4.2 update killed Foxfi. There is no way in HELL I am paying $30 to Verizon just to tether my phone to my computer (I have unlimited data)

Not to mention you would also lose you unlimited data if you did go with Verizon's service. I'm in the same boat, my Foxfi got killed with the update and I considered paying for the mobile hotspot feature but said hell no to giving up my unlim data.

Can't agree with you. Verizon installs a bunch of unneeded software which just drains your battery. Also you can't create a hot-spot. That's ridiculous - they're taking money for a built-in android feature. So having root gives you a real advantage of re-flashing your device with custom firmware and getting rid of all the limitations Verizon put on you.

You can disable most of the bloat software. Just go into your settings, go to app manager, go to all and tap on whatever you want to disable. It will make it like the app was never there.

That doesn't exactly fix the problem of the apps taking up valuable space. I kinda agree with both of you. I think that without root this phone, unlike the S4 and others, is mostly enjoyable and still smooth. However, with root it just adds a nice amount of gravy. I like being able to perform nandroids/flash firmwares/etc, use Titanium Backup, flash any rom I please with useful features (like double tap to wake so I don't have to use the poorly placed power button), use Xposed modules, use Adaway, use emulators with a PS3 controller, etc etc.
Root vs not rooted is irrelevant to the OP. The OP wants root.
I highly recommend checking with sonic or checking with mobile tech videos.
It is probably possible to downgrade the firmware to make the phone vulnerable to S-off

Disagree with those who say rooting is unnecessary. It is like opening a window to endless opportunities on your phone , sort of like Alice through the Looking Glass. It is very worth it. I have been rooted since version 4.2 and to me defines the very concept of Android being open source. Verizon tries to limit the Android like Apple does to the iPhone.

It's not possible to downgrade firmware..unless, of course, you're s-off. If there's a way to achieve s-off for the VZW HTC One on 4.4.2, it will be seen here in the VZW HTC One forums. There's a new thread everyday asking the same question.

Are you sure that Sonic's card method or Mobile Tech Videos can't do it?
Unless you confirm with them, I still suspect it is possible.

I'm 100% positive you can't downgrade firmware. Sonics java card is the only other possibility. Don't think anyone has had any luck contacting him, though (check out the java card s-off thread). I know I tried before 4.3 was exploited. If mobile tech videos had a method, you would have seen a thread somewhere in this forum.
Basically all I was getting at is that if there's a way to achieve s-off on 4.4.2, there would be chatter here.

No offense, but you are saying neither Sonic nor Mobile Tech Videos have been contacted...
Therefore, your conclusion that it is not possible to downgrade firmware is based on nothing.
Like I said, until I see it from the horses mouth, it is still a possibility. Sonic has achieved S-off for many people and I haven't seen anything to tarnish his good reputation. The Java card will likely work on the latest update.
I do not speak for Sonic nor Mobile Tech Videos. Until either party provides a confirmation themselves, I WILL NOT FALSLEY CONCLUDE IT IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY.
People said the exact and thing about the VZW Note 2. AS IT TURNS OUT, Mobile Tech Videos can downgrade the firmware on the VZW Note 2 with JTag. They confirmed when they were emailed. They charge 75$ for the valuable service.
You may be correct in that there is currently no cost free method to downgrade the firmware on the VZW HTC One on the latest OTA.

I'm s-off so I don't really care what you come up with. But I'm not just BS'ing. It would be great if people had the option to downgrade firmware so hopefully you can prove me wrong (since you're calling BS on the ability to downgrade...the java card gets you s-off, it doesn't downgrade your firmware. You're only hope is mobile tech to prove me wrong).
Anyways, bickering is even more useless than calling BS with nothing to back it up. I really do wish you luck...it would make a lot of people happy.

Mobile Tech Videos confirmed that they can indeed S-off any, including Kitkat 4.4.2 OTA, VZW HTC One units.
They are charging $75.
No response from the PayPal email address that was used for the transaction with Sonic's S-off procedure. Not yet, anyway.
Mobile Tech Videos has a good reputation and I'm confident they will be true to their word.
Also, there is a new thread unveiling Jcases's root method for 4.4.2 to be unveiled in August.
Certainly not definitive, but I tried numerous times without success to contact Sonic about the java card S-off... I tried PM, text message, tweet, and email with no response. As, I am one of the unlucky ones with the 4.4.2 OTA, I may try the Mobile Tech Videos... anyone ever used them for an HTC Verizon device?
