S-off phone with test software on it - Verizon HTC One (M9)

So I acquired an s off tester phone with old test software on it. Where and what all do I need to read up on in order to catch up with flashing an m9 without borking it.
Also most stable or newest ROM suggestions are appreciated. I'm so used to my nexus that I'm spinning my wheels trying to work out the steps

This might be a dumb question, but can a Verizon Kernel work on the AT&T S3?

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31329-kerneltouchwizics-leankernel-minimalistic-kernel-v11-10912/
This is the one in question. I'm running Ariel 2.10.
I think kernels can cross platform but not device. So as long as is same model phone then good

Boot manager

Trying to get boot manager pro running on my note 2, and it says my device not supported, then asks for a bunch of manual settings. Frankly I'm lost at what to enter. Anyone else got this working? I have a 32 gig card, not sure of that matters.

It has not been updated since April and the Devs won't be working on it..... It's basically a dead app ... if you want it to work you will have to do it yourself ...

Shouldn't it be about the same?

Error when rooting with Toolbox??

I'm trying to root my S3 with the latest version of toolbox and I've watched the video here on xda and I followed everything to a T but when in Odin I keep getting the same error over and over, Can't open the serial (COM) port. Any ideas?? Its really frustrating. I've made sure USB debbuging is checked too so its not that. I'm using a windows 8 laptop, don't know if that has anything to do with it but its reading my device. Drivers installed OK. Please help!!!

Why use a toolbox which can cause issues and you actually don't know what it's doing. When rooting the S3 is the easiest thing and takes less than 5 minutes. I recommend this and works with all variants and you learn what your doing.

I've actually tried other ways besides the toolbox but its the same problem. It keeps failing at the same spot in Odin. I have rooted before, I have a GNote 2, a GNote 10.1, & a Nexus 4, all of which I rooted but for some reason the S3 will not pass in Odin!!! So if someone can figure it out please let me know cause its got me stumped as to why it fails in Odin.

Are you extracting the Tar file when using odin?

[Q] few rom questions

I have the verizon Note 2.
I'm wondering with the new android 4.2.2 is worth having over what comes with the verizon Note 2.
If is worth having, can anyone point me in the direction with it, and pretty much all the programs that come with the Note 2 just with out all of the verizon bloatware. If its not worth having can some one point me to one with the android version that comes with the note 2, but same thing as before with all the samsung apps, just minus the verizon bloatware.
I'm not new to loading custom roms, just new to the note 2.
Thanks for your time.
Must be new to XDA ..... This is the sprint note 2 forum .... post in the Verizon once and you may get a good answer

Toolkit for CMW, Root, and ROM's on Mac?

I have replaced the optical drive with an additional HDD and i cannot install Parallels on Bootcamp. Is there a workaround to use OSX for rooting and flashing ROM's successfully?
I rooted using the exploit, I only have a macbook right now. I've had little luck with anything for my note 2 and Mac, probably same for this note.

Unfortunately, in the last six years I've been messing with Android devices, I haven't seen much in the way of development utilities being ported to Mac. Definitely never seen these all-in-one toolkits. Development seems a bit slow for this particular device whether its because of the high expense or lack of cellular radio, so I wouldn't hold your breath.
Do you have the hard drive space for a BootCamp solution? I hate rebooting my Macbook just to get into Windows to mess with my devices, but its a small price to pay.
I thought if doing the boot camp thing as well, I definitely have the space. I should do that.

There is plenty of space. 240 ssd and 1 T but, bootcamp doesn't install unless I will put the optical drive back in the Macbook and install Windows in ssd. A bit more of a hassle but seems like the only way
