Many thanks for mirroring the OTA. I've posted this to the XDA Portal.

Has rumrunner or anything been patched in this update?

don't think so. Those that have successfully updated report still being s-offed/ unlocked.

S-off will survive ota's. The question is whether or not the exploit used to achieve s-off still works after the OTA for those not unlocked yet.

No new Hboot in this build so it should still work.

Actually that's not true.
We had 1.54.0000 in all previous versions.
This one is now 1.55.0000.
Until someone who is not yet S-Off takes the OTA and then tries to run rumrunner, we won't know if it works as is.
I tend to doubt it will and will likely be patched fairly easily for the new version by Beaups, once someone who is s-on works with him to get that done on the new hboot.
But I would not just assume that Rumrunner will work on the new hboot as is, since it has been made for specific hboots already, even ones that had the same hboot version, but came from different OTA's.

I recently got the HTC One via Verizon and have had the OTA update to 4.3 without s-off. I attempted to use the universal rumrunner which failed pretty much immediately after going through the disclaimer and beginning the process. I'm not sure if it's because I did it wrong or if it's actually due to rumrunner not working with the the new OTA, but I'm fairly sure that I have everything set up correctly and had followed the directions very closely. I didn't think it was going to work, but I thought I'd try anyway. Thought I'd share my experience with you guys.

No it isn't bc you ran it wrong. beaups hasn't posted a rumrunner update yet. If you aren't using rumrunner for the exact version of your current ROM it fails every time. I'm sure he'll update rumrunner when he has time but he's a busy dude like all of our devs are.

Yes, that's what I was confirming with you guys. santod040 had suggested that it likely would not work due to the new Hboot version. I attempted to run both the universal rumrunner and the most recent one for the 1.10.605.2 ROM version, neither of which worked. I just posted here to confirm that his suspicions were true and that we will need to wait for if/when beaups has time to create a new version of rumrunner. I imagine that most of the devs and experienced users here already knew that this would happen but I just wanted to post actual experimental evidence of this being the case.

Lol I find it funny that as soon as I get a LG G2 Verizon is finally like "Oh... he doesn't have his One as his primary device anymore? Release the Kraken! (Kraken being the 4.3 update. For some reason.) Jerks. Still have my One but don't use it much anymore.

Oh I know. I wasn't trying to talk down to you or anything. Just stating what I know from my own past experiences when I was stupid and attempted rumrunner on the wrong version and then felt stupid when I realized what I did wrong. beaups is a beast. He'll get you guys a new version soon.

I made the mistake of updating to 4.3 O.T.A., and of course I need not wonder why Rumrunner isn't working for me. I do hope that they patch this soon. I tried different versions in 64- and 32-bit Linux, and 64-bit Windows, all with no success.
This isn't my first time modifying a P.D.A./Smartphone, either; I used to use Football's X51v ROMS, and then I rooted my Nexus One and Galaxy Nexus and put custom R.O.M.s on those, too. I just never noticed an official update taking away the ability to unlock/root a P.D.A., but then, I probably modified then sooner after getting them.

Nexus devices don't have locked bootloaders that require hacks to crack.

My htc one came with the box saying software 1.6 but I tapped away in the settings to find out the previous owner updated it to 2.10.605.1 with hboot 1.55. If anyone needs any files from it let me know. This phone was never rooted before either. Currently it's sitting in the corner.

I came from a Galaxy S4 and I can tell you from experience never EVER take an OTA (unless it's a Nexus device I guess) because you can never be sure what they are doing. Only the first firmware on the S4 had an exploit, and anyone unlucky enough to get the next firmwares found their bootloader unable to be cracked. This is still true for them. It's been about 6 months and no one has cracked the new versions to allow an unlocked bootloader. I spent 3 months with the S4 only being able to root (hoping for an exploit) and it was miserable. I'm so much happier on the One.

Yeah I know what you mean. That's why I always ask what firmware the Phone has before I buy. I just wasn't expecting the guy to update it for me. I guess most people aren't interested in rooting/unlocking. That's why all my friends that have android complain that their devices get slow.
Out of all the android phones I had, rooted with a custom Rom or kernel and they never got slow.

[Q] Lost root with 4.3, still showing S-Off...

I'm still new to this, so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I can't seem to find a straight answer in other posts.
I have a VZW Htc One and I used rumrunner successfully when i was still on 4.2. Being new to rooting,etc. I wasn't thinking about the OTA update and accepted it.
I lost root according to the Root Checker app (and titanium backup says I do not have root access). When I boot to the bootloader, it shows
*** Unlocked ***
M7_WLV PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
Hboot 1.55.0000
Radio-1.12.41.1112_2
OS-2.10.605.1
My question is will the instructions on this thread still work to regain root?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417043
If not, do I need to wait for the new rumrunner from beaups or is there another way?

If you are still S-OFF and Unlocked just push a custom recovery via fastboot and you can install SU from there. Or just flash a custom rom that is already rooted.

So is the only reason I can't post in the developer's forum is because I don't have 10 posts and therefore could potentially be a spammer?

Yeah, or being a new forum member, they may not know or bother to search for answers to their questions before asking ones that have been answered already.
Unfortunately many users still haven't learned this after hundereds of posts, lol.
But yeah, that is the basic idea why.

Thanks Santod. I swear I had an account on here with a bunch of posts - because you helped me with my Thunderbolt a couple years ago - but I guess not.
People like you make this place worthwhile. Glad to see you're still contributing.

[Q] New HTC One -- Where to start?

Browsed the stickies for this stuff, but the closest I found was a pretty old post from before Verizon shut down S-Off.
I have a new HTC One w/ build 1.10.605.8 (Android 4.2.2/Sense 5.0). How far behind is this? Does it mean I have a better chance for exploits to work? I'm making a point of not putting the phone into a position where it might take an OTA. Presumably hacking the phone gets harder with the latest builds.
I would like to root this, if possible. If I can unlock the bootloader that's even better. S-Off not as important, but I'll do it if it's the pathway to an unlocked boot. I'm guessing there are still ways to unlock this (or equivalent) since Big Red shut down our HTC Dev?
Is there a current thread discussing this? Maybe somebody can show me where the latest info is. Or at least tell me what the general strategy is for customizing this device, if it's possible.
I'm pretty comfortable with this stuff; I once had to use a wire to S-Off an HTC Rezound. I just need to know where to go to find the current tools.
I saw references to weaksauce, rumrunner and firewater. Are these current? Can someone steer me toward the latest and greatest???

Since you're on 4.2.2 and 5.0 you should be able to use rumrunner.

Looks like this tool sets S-Off? Does that disable/bypass the signature checks in the bootloader, or does it allow install of an alternate bootloader? How do I get from S-Off to a custom ROM?

Not sure exactly, but once you're s-off you can just flash a recovery via fastboot and then flash a custom Rom through recovery.

S-Off trumps all. With S-Off you can do anything with your phone, including unlocking the boot loader and custom recoveries.

I used rumrunner because my older build was identified as being vulnerable to that exploit. I'm not sure about the interactions between S-Off and Bootloader because the device+build-specific rumrunner did both S-Off and unlocked BL in addition to rooting it. It says "unlock" but the experience looked like an engineering bootloader had been installed. The phone acquired a proprietary HTC disclaimer at startup.
If you have an early enough build, I would definitely recommend rumrunner for unlocking it. That program totally pwned the phone.

The warning comes when you go S-Off. Every HTC One with S-Off does that. Rumrunner did its job.

[Q] Is stock possible?

Recently been looking into purchasing a new HTC One for myself, but after reading up on it, I see that there are a ton of S-Off and stock issues flying around. I guess I have a few clarifying questions then...
If I buy the phone today, is S-Off still possible?
Is S-Off risky?
Can I return to 100% complete stock yet if I need to or not? If yes, how?
Really I'm wondering if it's worth it to even purchase this phone as I don't want to be without flashing ROMs but at the same time, I resell my phones after awhile so I'm going to need to go back to 100% stock eventually. Sorry if these questions have already been asked, my xda search function is a bit broken. Thanks for reading this far.
Edit - Did some more searching and found the HTC One m8 now has the RUU's? Could someone also explain this? I'm new to HTC devices, coming from a nexus 5 here.

Nobody knows at all...?

Probably, it will be. But it's not for certain. If your phone comes with the stock 1.12 software, then you can do it. But there's also a possibility of your phone being one of those unlucky "Whelp, this sucks..." phones. If it comes with the latest 1.57 software installed, it won't be possible.
That being said, if it comes with 1.12, which it probably will, and you unlock the bootloader, root, and S-Off, you can always go back to 100% stock with no trace at all of it ever being rooted if you want to return it for warranty, exc.
IF it is one of the unlucky "Whelp, this sucks..." phones, and you unlock your bootloader, root, and try to S-Off, but can't, then you can re lock the bootloader, run the stock RUU, and the only trace of it being unlocked and rooted would be that in the bootloader, it would say "Relocked" instead of "Locked."
Remember that if the phone comes with the 1.12 software, NEVER accept the OTA update. If you do accept the update, you will never be able to S-Off.
But again, chances are you will probably get the 1.12 software and be able to S-Off your phone. Hope this helped.

Thanks a ton, this is exactly what I was hoping for. Final question - how do I go about getting to stock. I found the RUU and stock files but I don't know at all what to do. After I know that, I'll be ready to root!

Sorry for the late reply,
To get to complete 100% stock, you have to download and run the RUU. It's a simple EXE file. There are a bunch of Youtube videos on how to run RUUs. Before running the RUU, you have to re-lock the bootloader. But, to go to 100% stock, you first have to to reset the tampered flag, LOCK, not re-lock the bootloader (there is a thread on how to make the bootloader say LOCKED, not Re-Locked) and then S-ON. After that, run the RUU file, and it will take you back to complete stock. Like you never unlocked the bootloader or rooted.
But, I would do everything except S-ON. If you go to S-ON and run the RUU, you will not be able to go back to S-Off again. The RUU will install the 1.57 software, and that version isn't supported by Firewater.
The only thing you really have to do is a simple re-lock of the bootloader before running the RUU. But, doing what I said would make the phone look like it was never rooted. Again, I would do everything I said except going back to S-ON.

I just successfully achieved completely stock with S-On. I gave my details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55374644&postcount=2

[Q] S-Off achievable on newest H-Boot and OTA?

I just got my M8 yesterday after running over my previous phone, and immediately started looking into s-off and root. Am I screwed with the 4.4.3 update when it comes to s-off, because it seems like firewater won't work. Is there a different exploit that works? I couldn't find anything searching. My apologizes about the noobness, I'm always like this when I first get a new device. Many thanks in advance, sorry for any errors grammar-wise, I'm on my phone.

Correct, but I preferred to get S-off with sunshine then root and unlock the bootloader without having to get the HTC developer unlock. This way HTC doesn't have any record of the bootloader being unlocked.
