If your bootloader is (re)locked, then I'd start with unlocking it again. I'm not sure that you can unlock the bootloader via HTCdev, but SunShine supports the Verizon M9. Check that out.

Sunshine can only S-OFF the device, not unlock it. I tried it just now.

"The best" depends on your current firmware. Read Q4 for a more detailed explanation.

Thank you very much for the link! I hope it will solve my problem since actually this device was flashed with ICE rom and then I lost the data connection. Thanks again. I will try to use that solution when I have free time to work on.

YES You can now root your Verizon HTC One M7 4.10.605.3 successfully
Some user ayanami00 has posted this on another post under such a thread. Plus many other users have backed this fact.
"version 2.0 does work, have HTC One m7 running 4.4.2 sense 6. ran Sunshine on device it rebooted twice to complete. Then flashed TWRP recovery v 2.7.1.1. Then entered TWRP recovery it automatically prompted me to install supersu for root. Very easy and IMO was worth $25. Now I can finally try out a custom rom."
It is a paid aap though. Costs $25 as of now. You are not charged if you dont get S-OFF, or if charged you will be refunded, if the S-OFF does not happen for you.
Head to www.theroot.ninja
SunShine does not root the phone though!
The instructions specifically say that you must be rooted in order for SunShine to work. How am I able to unlock and s-off if i'm not rooted?
Currently there is no way to root the verizon htc one m7, sense 6, 4.10.605.3
I'm confused sorry

It still works. I was in your situation yesterday, and it worked for me. When you start the app it will give you the option of "temp rooting" it if you're not already rooted. Honestly, the process was incredibly easy.
So does this mean you can flash roms now? Like cyanogenmod?
s-off and Root
Nope, you don't any longer need to be rooted to used Sunshine.
One of its steps is Temp Root. Then it does its magic. Well worth $25 cuz there is no other way.
Google search for 'Sunshine s-off' and see the newest front page with newest instructions and download.
And yes, you can use any compatible custom rom you'd like!
ANY

Sure Can. I did mine a couple days ago and have tried about 6 roms so far, think gonna settle on the AOKP kk4.4.4 I'm really liking it.
Okay sweet im rooted! But how'd you guys get twrp installed and working? I installed twrp through fastboot on my computer but when I boot into twrp on my Verizon m7 and flash cm11, it fails.

What is the full name of the file from which you installed TWRP?
I just Googled verizon m7 twrp and followed these instructions on this site.
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/164
I downloaded the 2.7 .IMG and still gives me a fail.
The full name of the .img is "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-m7.img"

Yo, If your phone is Verizon, you can only use: openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-m7wlv.img.
Plain M7 recovery from the TWRP site isn't OK.

You're on your way now......
When you wipe before installing your custom rom, you can do the factory reset wipe,
and in Advanced Wipe, you can do Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data, and System.
But don't wipe internal storage, or you'll lose everything on the internal sdCard including
the rom you want to flash.

Yes being that you're running 4.4.3 Sense 6, basically Sunshine is your only option. It's $25 , but it's very well worth it. It's literally a 1 click method for S-Off, and Unlocked Bootloader, and it checks to make sure it'll work on your device before it asks u 2 pay…

I don't have any experience with this. So if I do this and get S-Off and Unlocked Bootloader, I can then get root? Could someone maybe link me to the root method after getting S-Off?

On an unlocked or s off phone you simply fastboot flash the custom recovery of choice. After that you either flash a rooted rom or flash the latest su.zip to root your existing rom.
for some reason I need to Temporary unroot my M8
but I only got an s-on
so can I temporary unroot by using custom ROMs like vipreONEM8 with an s-on M8
or I must s-off it?

If you can replace the entire OS with S-On, why do you think you would be unable to unroot the OS?

I need to temp unroot the M8 by using Supersu
but someone says that I can't do this on a s-on device , temp unroot need a s-off device
is that true??
I don't understand what you intend to do.
Why do you need to "temp unroot"? What do you think that would do?
Maybe he want to run some apps that don't work on rooted phones, like banking, some tv apps...
I used RootCloak earlier on my other phone, don't know if it's still working good...

Right, well, basically there are many ways to detect root. To be sure you'd have to uninstall root, reboot, use the app, reboot recovery reflash root, reboot.
So no "temp unroot".
Maybe you can try this, think it was working for me...

Yes, Sunshine first. Make sure no other apps have been added or disabled: right after factory reset.
Then after Sunshine S-0ff and unlock, flash newest TWRP in bootloader. Next start phone and put SuperSU apk
in root of storage. Power off, start recovery, and flash SuperSU.

No, I'm pretty sure you need to be rooted first before s-off if you're on nougat.
So,
1) unlock bootloader
2) flash TWRP and root
3) s-off using sunshine (25$)

As I mentioned, you need to unlock the bootloader and root before being able to use sunshine, so how can you use sunshine to unlock the bootloader if it's not already unlocked?
On Marshmallow you could do what you asked.
gotcha, I was trying to avoid using htcdev for unlocking bootloader

NO way around it now. I just got my HTC 10 over the weekend and went through the whole learning process you are. I think my phone was out of commission more than it was up and running all Sunday. Luckily it's pretty hard to brick.
