Anyone know if OTA Rootkeeper might be any use to you rooters?
I haven't rooted yet but plan too but it claims "Every honeycomb tablet" blah blah, especially as there is supposed to be a new OTA update on the way shortly.

Interesting! I'm certainly willing to try. This thread should probably be moved to general, however.

Good call, and apologies, i had mutiple windows open and posted in the wrong one
It's OK, it's definitely worth trying once we get the ICS OTA!!!
Added in general..

Hey everyone I got a question and I hope people contribute rather than leave nasty comments behind.If its on a previous thread just point me there.
With the Gingerbread update I know that it will make somethings unavailable for a while.Here is the question...
Will we there be a way to get the web-top hack back as well as the netflix .apk to run?Will side-loading actually be available and will we be able to root?
I have read some threads saying that the bootloader "Might" be unlocked,so will this help out the whole rooting and sideloading and web-top hacks...?
I use the web-top and netflix app alot and so I would like to know what your opinions are thanks.
Actually, all rooting-sideloading-tethering-etc modifications may be truncated; but it's a matter of time... Nobody can tell you.
You should just wait for the update...
Was necessary a new thread for asking this? really?
release the dogs...
The future's a long way off...
From one cloud to another.
I was stupid and took the OTA... What are my options? Could I somehow downgrade? How would I do such a thing? How do I go about backing up just in case I derp it up?
There are many threads about this already. Answer is no. Not yet.

Dont mean to be an ahole, but please do a search before you create a new thread that has already been created to address Rooting before and after the OTA. (remember, the #1 rule here is to search first then post a question...otherwise they incur infractions...trust me they do give them out..)
****Dev, Please remove this thread as this is already answered in another thread.
I'm seeing all these threads with dumps from a Gamestop device. Instead of simply pushing the question away, maybe we should try posting solutions. I've also seen some dumps on this server: httpColon//nobcat.com/
that say they're for the Prime. I did a search and it was all ended in irrelevant information, hence is why I posted.
Yeah, but there is at least 4 threads about the rooting and issues of the OTA. If you have any new idea's or thoughts, it would be beneficial for them to be put in one of those threads so we don't have to bounce around to many threads to find an answer.

while i agree in concept about finding a way to get root back..so far the only root process available even before the OTA was by Razorclaw. Clockwork, spacemouse and others I know will / are working hard to figure something out along with Razorclaw (my speculation as i don't have any affiliation with anyone who does ROMs..i'm just a fledgling app programmer).
To answer your statement "instead of simply pushing the question away" ..um...the following thread is quite active at answering the Root conundrom.

Again, please review current active threads for solutions.

Didn't see this one as active, thanks
You sure I'm not going to be yelled at for bumping a thread? And on a side note, why can't I write to the Music, Pictures, or Movies directories?
Ok, the "How to Root" thread and the various ROM threads are getting confused between those that "unlocked" vrs. "soft-rooted" vrs "hard-rooted" vrs. those that accepted the OTA and those that didn't. Plus we have those that were rooted but tried to unroot before taking the OTA. With the "how to root" thread and others there are instructions that don't work anymore if you took the OTA and, while there may be explanations of the issue, they are burried deep in the thread
What we could use (and hope this thread becomes) is the place for devs to post progress on Rooting the LTE for phones that accepted the OTA and, as methods are developed, people can respond with issues that may arise.
Great idea! Why don't you consolodate all that info, format it nicely, and put it into OP so we can all benefit.
how about people just read properly
without jumping to flash anything that pops up on their screen or clicking every one click method that they see
Or maybe people can be polite and not so judgmental and be helpful instead of walking around thinking your better than everyone else.

And on top of which, there are plenty of people that will be getting the LTE from here on out that will have the new update on it already and those that were waiting to root until an ASOP ROM came out that saw no reason not to accept the OTA since they had not rooted yet.

I don't think you realize how involved it would be to compile that information, present it cleanly, and keep it up to date. I emphasize keep it up to date because this info changes every single day. There are numerous root and unlock methods, most pre-OTA, some partially work post-OTA.
As a non-dev but android enthuisiast, I check relavent threads about once a day to follow progress and even doing that I could never keep up with everything that's going on.
I'll admit my previous post in this thread was a bit snarky but people have to be realistic. Unless someone has the time and dedication to just do it themselves, this request won't happen simply because someone asked for it. If it does happen, the information will just become out of date in less than a week!
Finally, I have some advice for people eager to root and/or flash roms. Sit back and wait a few weeks. HTC just released the kernel source a few days ago and the real magic will start to happen. The new OTA will almost certainly be rooted and unlocked and someone will create a noob-friendly procedure to follow. Your best bet is to watch for updates to the stickied threads in the development section(s).
Is root ever coming to this update? I've seen several threads with "possible root" but I'm looking for an actual solution. I'm dying to get my hands on the Play Store, Xposed, and Safestrap on this device, just like I did on last year's HD.
(Also, is there any way to stop those stupid amazon OTA updates? Thanks!)
Towelroot is possible to root 13.3.2.4 (As reported somewhere here) and the new version of Safestrap are updated for 13.3.2.3.2 and 13.3.2.4

I was reading and was about to do a face palm Lol​http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...update-13-3-2-4user324002120-able-to-t2800584
I guess it was all the way at the bottom of the first page of general but it was on this page LOL and I believe that the same root method is mentioned at least once in almost every thread of the first page of troubleshooting and general and I'm sure many more threads on the second pages. BTW poster this is not the HD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786190 just FYI.. As of this day still no easy recovery of this device if any depending highly on your abilities perseverance and willing to research thoroughly before any attempts .they are working on things... but not yet available to the public.
So I'm using my HTC One Max today and boom a update notification came through..
I came straight here to see information about it but have not seen anything.
Does anyone have a clue what they updated yet or is it to soon to tell? haha.
I really want to update to a new phone soon, but anything to make this phone's battery last longer is good news.
You may not know but this forum is for development not a Q&A. There are some threads about this already in the General forum. There will not be an official update for the US variant most likely. If it happeneds it will be because it's ported.

I have me and my brother on one max's with unlimited grandfathered. Stock 4.4.2, s-off, and rooted. Today we both get an ota pop up everytime we wake the phone up from sleeping. Annoying. Root explorer only shows the otapkg.zip to be 36mb so i doubt its a big update or anything. I have been working all day without any time to look at it and my bro has no clue what he is using, i just showed him how to turn his hotspot on. haha
Hopefully someone knows an easy way to get rid of this update. I sent a pm to someone else who had helped me with rooting stuff awhile ago when i first got the 2 max's used. (thanks for all your help before if you read this) He hasnt been using a max but recommended flashing stock recovery, flashing update, and redoing superuser and twrp. I cant tell my brother to do all that long distance... hes electronic disabled.... I'm hoping i can rename the update and get it to stop showing up and leave us alone. I think I had done something similar to this with the rezound ota annoyances.
Sorry to respond to this post while its in the wrong section... But I couldn't find anything related to this 07-31-2015 ota from verizon in the general. I do see alot of stuff about international lollipop dropping, but I think this is different.
I knew this was for the Dev section but this affects those of us who are using stock rooted rom's with earlier updates that they received from this very section. So pardon me when I thought this was the place to bring it up.. Thanks for telling me we'd not get the US Variant... Personally I don't want to upgrade to Lollipop. Much prefer the current one. I'm with the previous replier, I'd rather stop the annoyance of the update notification. I haven't downloaded it but it's getting annoying having to see the update every 4 hours.

I just did a multi search engine (including the site search) through out the HTC one max forum for the ota update "3.02.651.8" and got no threads matching my search. The latest official version to be discussed is the 3.02.651.5 which is what I'm on already. If you would be so kind as to point me in the directions of said thread(s) I'd be grateful as I do not see them anywhere.
