I found this website http://www.oneclickroot.com/phone/htc-droid-dna/ I was wondering if it is a scam. Has anyone seen this?
I wonder if this works with the new OTA update. It would be sweet if it did.

Anyone willing to try this? I'm curious as to how it works considering the only methods out there right now require getting superCID then using HTV Dev to get the unlock code and the former no longer works...
Also:
The Droid DNA is also plagued by a battery efficiency problem.

To me, you would think this, being a pretty big development, would break here on XDA.
While I am hoping its true, as I am holding off until something like this is released, it just seems a little to good to be true.
But go for it if you want!
Just follow a guide on here, it's pretty much dead simple to unlock your bootloader through HTC. I highly doubt this is legit but in the time it took you to make this post and wring your hands about it you could have unlocked the bootloader, rooted and installed a custom rom.
netstal trembley
im not saying its not legit but, like said a couple of posts above, if it was legit, i'd think it would be xda by now
My theory - If no one has commented anything at all and there's no one to vouch for it, don't become the martyr or the first victim.
I'm happy about the feed back from you guys. This is the reason I posted it here, because I knew someone would have a good insight about this topic.
I'm staying away

Click the download button and it says right there that it won't work. Only supports android up 4.0.3, and no HTC devices although they hope to support them in the future. It's virus free according the VirusTotal, but I still wouldn't use it on a supported phone without confirmation from someone else that it won't ruin it.
Hi, I'm one of the people behind the development of One Click Root. I can assure you our software does not contain viruses or any other malicious code.
The poster above me is correct. We currently don't have support for HTC devices as we're still working on a few of the finer details of automating HTCDev.com bootloader unlocking. We do hope to add support for HTC devices in the near future, along with a number of the most popular new devices on the latest ICS and Jelly Bean OS versions.

Yes, once the OTA drops, kernel source isn't too far behind, and that's always good for development.

This is the update I was told about by tech support when I kept complaining about SIM card problems to Verizon after I borked (voice service, sms/mms suddenly stopped working while lte worked fine) my launch day device. I had insurance through a kiosk store so in order to avoid a refurb with 2.04 installed I plunked down $75 deductible for a brand new rootable replacement (so glad I did!). I literally had to physically damage it in order to do so even though the only thing wrong was no voice service. Anyway... The sales rep at the kiosk told me Sense5 (Android 4.2) is expected soon as well in another OTA update, but I wonder why they wouldn't have just put these updates together? Something does smell a bit fishy here.
I haven't had any SIM errors with my replacement so I'll steer around this one for now... How does Sense5 (4.2) sound for the DNA with an official release? Newt's port is pretty impressive but an official version might just smooth things out even more. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but why would VZW update the DNA if a newer device like the One is around the corner using Sense5? Wouldn't it make more "sense" to hold off on the 4.2 update to make us all want new phones? I heard they weren't going to carry it but who knows?

Because it's 1000x easier to make a update to fix 1 specific thing and have it approved by verizon then it is to essentially rewrite everyrhing and have months of back and forth between Verizon and HTC.

I have an HTC DNA softwafe version 2.04.605.2 710 RD and I was just notified of a new software update 2.06.605.1 710RD.
Here is the official documentation from Verizon:
"Improvements have been made to sim card detection".
I haven't had any problems with my DNA so far so I'm not sure if this would be a fix for other people. Also I'm not sure how this would affect current root status or if there's any hidden updates besides the one Verizon listed.
I'm not rooted so I'm trying to get it downloaded and off my device to upload to the devs but no luck yet. I have the SIM card issues so I'm fine with eventually installing, but I don't want to loose the chance to download the file first.
Here is the OTA for whoever wants it. Its not rooted. Its straight from the download (NOTHING DONE TO IT) https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3OJJDTvOy8vdkhZVWpVRWlJMzA/edit?usp=sharing
Can you upload it somewhere else, I don't want to have to register with 4shared to download it.
Nevermind, I signed up as Jon Voight and was able to download it.

Security holes such as signature check typos, unintended memory access, or workarounds to getting certain write functions working where they aren't supposed to are our "exploits." The updates need to be thoroughly analyzed for security holes if they are to be used for exploits.
Think twist brought up a good point though. People that don't really need the update should hold off I guess I'm stating the obvious but if some exploit was found and us stuck on ota before the new one was received could install some sort of modified one if these guys found and holes in this.

You can flash any International ROM once you're unlocked/rooted/custom recovery. All of which are most likely based on .29 WWE firmware.

The whole point of having software versioning in increasing order is to correspond to new developments. I have hard time believing the camera, beats and any other "improvements" made in 1.29 is in AT&T's 1.26.

Why not. Do you know how product cycles work? They just don't make all the phones at one time... Theres the pre production phones which were at the announcement and early reviewers. Then they would of started the intl version production soon after if not it was already done. If they decided to make an adjustment during the making of the intl ONE it's easier to continue the product run and fix with a ota than it is start all over... US versions have to be picked over before production. So they would of had time to tweak software.
So no it's not naive. Saying there's no way is naive .

I'll go take the time to dig through their forums to see if there's a picture or something. I also tweeted and emailed HTC. So we'll see

Why not. Do you know how product cycles work? They just don't make all the phones at one time... Theres the pre production phones which were at the announcement and early reviewers. Then they would of started the intl version production soon after if not it was already done. If they decided to make an adjustment during the making of the intl ONE it's easier to continue the product run and fix with a ota than it is start all over...

You are confusing hardware revisions with software. Yes, i know how "product cycles" work. I'm in the field.

Personally I rather one of our smart forum members to give is the 411 on the different binaries within the firmware. As I have said before, the proof is there.
Not here yet http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/02/21/samsung-galaxy-s4-android-4-4-update-spotted/
But lets use this thread for all discussion about the impending update.
No need for discussion Naddict I got this.
P.S.A
Don't take the update

What he said.
If you do, you won't likely keep root across the OTA, and won't be rootable afterwards.
Any chance of a bootloader breach is also lower once you update. Just say no,
Android 4.4 + TW = lipstick on a pig
Can't wait for this update, I'm taking it in a heartbeat. A shame there's no word on it for Verizon.

I no longer see a need to root. So much function is freely given now. The only reason I would root again would be for ad block. That said, break me off a piece of that Kit Kat!

What aspect of it are you looking forward to the most?
NFL Mobile. That right there is one HUGE reason to root. Get that crap off your phone, unless you a willing lemming drone to the NSA and you have "nothing to hide"...
Seriously... I don't get it. Those of you that are on SafeStrap mk2 or mj7 are better off staying where you are. You're not missing some huge thing other than saying... Your s4 is on KitKat.
I have a sprint s4 on TW 4.4 and let me tell u...it looks just like TW 4.3.
So keep root..keep SafeStrap and wait and see if the XDA gods can bring root to it first before anything else.
I don't know I guess this kitkat thing is already tickin me off!
Do what you want.

An update is an update...I enjoy browsing through for new things. It's like flashing a rom? Some people like stock, it's clean and functional . Have been rooting and installing roms since my og droid days and this is the first device that I find no need to root to enjoy. It's filled with customizable options and speed.
I am sure Vroot can already root this. I will be updating when its out and root.

First: Old news.
Second: The article is comparing Verizon with the NSA. It doesn't say they're working "with" them. Also, do you honestly think that NFL Mobile is the only way they can track your info?
Third: I'm still laughing.

Vroot nor any known root methods used for 4.3 will not work. This sucker is more locked down then Michael Jackson having kids over at his Neverland park.

Once Verizon sends that OTA this way these forums are going to be littered with alllll sorts of nonsense like the sprint one are now. Trying to talk people down from the ledge after they Odin mk2 once they see they really don't like kitkat.... seriously it's been happening all day over there lol
