The stock ruu is already out...
Download it and run it I don't know if it will cure the tampered message.

it was my understanding that the best you can currently do is have it report "Relocked"
I'm not sure how to tell if its been relocked or not it lost root and shows tampered sighn if that helps

You have to soff to remove the tampered messages, I couldn't use lazy panda so I don't know the process but you need boot 1.12...sorry that

If all you want is Google wallet you can flash a zip for the modified wallet, head over to themes and apps and download the zip installer and flash on recovery
Did you ever install a twrp recovery?

Yep, if not you can unlock boot loader I mean you can't get rid of tampered anyway and flash twrp recovery, then use the wallet zip I mentioned earlier
---------- Post added at 01:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 AM ----------
Well maybe if you get ruu for 1.22, maybe? It was the way your root method originally got rid of it.
Sorry what was I thinking titanium won't work for your problem sorry
I wouldn't worry about the tampered message really

You can now unlock your rezound's bootloader at http://htcdev.com/.
Just follow the steps on htcdev.com, and at the last step you will have a factory reset. So, please make sure you do a backup before attempting this unlock trick. (Thanks to NilsP for pointing this out)
Bootloader unlock will grant perm root and possibility of flashing customized roms.

bootloader unlock will VOID your rezound's WARRANTY, I am not responsible for any damage it may cause
[INSTRUCTIONS]:
[Prerequisites:]
HTC Sync (Windows Only)
HTC Super Tool
Enable USB Debug on Rezound
Use Charge Only mode when connected to PC
Exit HTC Sync on PC
[Steps:]
1. Go to HTCDEV website: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
2. Click on "Begin Unlock Bootloader" (create a user if you don't have one)
3. Use HTC Super Tool in the [Prerequisites] to generate your token. (Or, alternatively, follow the instructions step 1 through step 10 on htcdev.com)
4. In step 10, when posting your token, make sure you remove the blanks preceding each line
5. After you receive your Unlock_code.bin in email, follow step 11.
6. Now your rezound should reboot and you have your bootloader unlocked.
Now you are unlocked. You can follow the following threads to obtain perm root, flash recovery, flash new kernel, and overclock.

To uninstall the bloatware, try ROM Toolbox
Umm
WOW ... how exactly do you do this, and more importantly, can it be re-locked if you need to do a warranty exchange?
yeah, it does not show up in the list. But you can just go and do it. The Vivid forum is saying the same happened to their model.
Dammit! I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw this post! Booo!!!
And it worked. I am now "UnLocked"
And factory reset. Forgot about that
Sooo.....
What's the deal here? We got a free pass from HTCDev?
Now we have perm root and can flash roms from stock recovery?!?

Slow your roll....All we have is the ability to write to the system partition if I understand the "unlock" properly. S-ON still prevents rewriting the recovery partition. But perm root, yes.

I mean I admit I'm excited, but I didn't say anything about CWM or a new recovery. Notice I said flashing roms from stock recovery, which is what this unlock should allow, correct?

You need an app like Titanium backup(which requires root), there are others but Titanium does a pretty complete job.

If you read the warning on htcdev.com it says that unlocking your phone may void certain warranty conditions. Usually if you need to return it you just put your phone back to stock or smash it on the curb and take the $50 hit in insurance ;-)

Yes, brick my phone, my htc evo 3D with Hboot 1.58, Unlocked Bootloader.. I tried to flash the CyanogenMod Gangnam Style, with 4ext recovery, and stuck on Boot Animation.. I accidentally format system in te recovery, there is a solution? Thanks!
If you are s off you need to do downgrade your boot loader. If you are s on you needed to do the write trick then downgrade your boot loader.
To get your phone in order now, Download a sense 3.6 rom and format everything but sd card in recovery and flash it, Make sure you read up on the requirements to flash next time, All roms have certain hboot's you have to be on.

You can not install Cm 10 or 9 with Hboot 1.58..... you need to S-off and downgrade it to hboot 1.49 ....do the wire trick to downgrade it.....ATM you still can get to bootloader right?? so it is sofbrick and very easy to fix....download the correct RUU and flash it...With hboot 1.58 you can install rom with sense only...

Alright, You're allowed 8 thanks a day, I expect to see some of them lol.
Hey guys, so I've been reading through the forums for a week and I have never rooted, so please forgive me if I am missing something.
I recently picked up a Verizon HTC One Max and thought why don't I give rooting a shot. I did some research (not enough apparently) and was attempting to use Rumrunner. After that wouldn't work I attempted to do the CyanogenMod easy root (sorry if I have that wrong) and that did not work as well, I eventually stumbled upon having to get on to HTC Dev, so I i attempted to unlock my Boot Loader, and found that you are unable to do that Via HTC Dev.
So my question to you seasoned vets, is can anyone point me to a step by step how to for first timers on Verizon running HBOOT 2.49 and are on 4.4.2. Like I said I know I am really new, and still not sure how to go about flashing a new ROM once rooted, but I will get there in time. Thanks to any help in advance guys.
Check out this link. I think this would work for you.
http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
I'm not really experienced, might want to wait for one of the pro's to confirm before you try.... I except no responsibility. lol
Still having some issues. Tried running rumrunner again and it'll get to "packing bottles" and than error out with unexpected behavior.
Tried doing the weak sauce/Forrester method and supersu will error out.
Any other ideas?
Have you unlocked your bootloader with HTC dev? If not try firewater. temp root and then s-off and it will unlock your bootloader at the same time then you can go about flashing custom recovery and then try custom ROMs. That's the way I went but I'm on international build
---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------
Or look on firewater website at the weaksauce s-off option and try again.

Yeah sure but I'm in UK so getting late here drop me a pm and I'll get back to you. Your best option is after work trying firewater. Have you ever rooted/unlocked/s-offed a phone before..? Do you know how to use adb and fastboot?
FINALLY!
Bootloader is Unlocked.
And I am S-OFF
Had some troubles with getting weak sauce to cooperate, finally just installed it on the phone itself and ran it. Than pushed firewater and worked with it in ADB.
On to the next project. Big thanks to nathlynn22, tip my hat to you boss.

Oh actually just noticed your on Verizon should you could use same as op and find firewater s-off in HTC one max General and use the weaksauce firewater method to temp root s-off and unlock boot loader. Then you need to flash corresponding custom recovery so cwm or twrp cm ready or twrp depending on roms you want to flash. After you flashed custom revovery you can root when you reboot from that then take a nandroid backup of stock Rom and then flash custom mods etc.
Hey,
I have an HTC Desire 601 I just recently rooted. I had TWRP but I removed it in hopes of getting the OTA update to install. I installed the originally recovery image but it made no difference. When installing the OTA update I just get a red triangle and exclamation point.
I've tried relocking the device and following this small guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53903841&postcount=2
The only thing that I know is still modded on the device is the kernel.
What's preventing the device from updating?

I've tried flashing it via TWRP but I had no luck. A bigger issue has cropped up, I can no longer use wifi. It's stuck at turning on. I think that started happening after I flashed another kernel.

Sounds like you r stuck. That's crappy luck.
Try the 4.4.4 RUU, just released this week: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-att/news/
If you did RUU (unroot, stock recovery, etc.) you shouldn't have the tampered flag. Or did you install TWRP again? Even so, who cares about the tampered flag? It only appears in bootloader.

Are you saying you are stuck with no root? Just unlock the bootloader again (if its relocked), flash TWRP, and flash SU or SuperSU.
Another option, is figure out what is draining the battery, and remove the offending app (root may be useful for this if its a system app). Might just be an AT&T bloatware that is causing the excessive battery drain.

If you did RUU (unroot, stock recovery, etc.) you shouldn't have the tampered flag. Or did you install TWRP again? Even so, who cares about the tampered flag? It only appears in bootloader.

Are you saying you are stuck with no root? Just unlock the bootloader again (if its relocked), flash TWRP, and flash SU or SuperSU.
Another option, is figure out what is draining the battery, and remove the offending app (root may be useful for this if its a system app). Might just be an AT&T bloatware that is causing the excessive battery drain.

i tried checking for updates for AT&T... says im up to date with 4.4.3. how i can the 4.4.4 ruu download?
Well... That ruu from the Link above didn't work. I know I Can always unlock and root again but... Any Rom that's 4.4.4 or lollipop won't have WiFi. I guess I'm stuck with 4.4.3 until I get rid of this phone.
