Are there other methods to root our device that has 2.xxx firmware? I just got a replacement phone so it's up to date and therefore the current root method won't work with it.
No there is not and this should be in questions. definitely not original android development.

Not to perpetuate this thread in the wrong section (God forbid), but do you mean that it's possible to RUU and S-Off a stock 2.4 device? My friend just got one, and is stuck with a locked bootloader, too.
Has anyone tried/confirmed that this works?

That's what I'm curious of. I'm reading up on a thread for people that accepted the OTA, but I haven't come across any successful attempt at RUUing back to 1.2 (or, whatever), so the bootloader can be unlocked, and the device can be rooted/S-OFFed. A confirmation of whether or not this is possible would be nice before this thread is locked and deleted.

From what I read in this thread – http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017525 – if you were previously rooted and such, you can use your original unlock.bin from HTC. If your device had never had the bootloader unlocked, and you accepted the OTA, or got the device with 2.xxx firmware, you're screwed.
Good on you, Verizon. ಠ_ಠ

You could ruu down if you use otterbox instead of busybox and then root with Miracle Grow :silly:

This has got to be an XDA record.. a thread de-railed on the 4th post.. *sigh*
Lets keep it civil guys.
Thanks.
JTAG it, or pay someone else to do it. I don't see why people are so apprehensive. If you're willing to risk bricking by flashing stuff its not a far step to send it out and get it unlocked.
If I ever need a replacement I'm surely going to send mine out. Or I might pick up a riff box myself and start doing it.

Apparently you havent been paying attention to your own thread, your phone has to be updated to see the link to the new ruu.

The RUU hasn't been released yet. Since the update is pretty new, I'd give it about a week before it shows imo.
Guys I need help here. I just rooted my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500), and it was fine for a few hours...but now it just wont turn off.
Even when the screen times out.
Even when I press the power button.
It will just stay on no matter what. (Interestingly, long pressing the power button does bring up the power dialogue!)
I did not flash any Custom ROM. I did not even install any recovery! The only tinkering I did was Setting cpu speed using Tasker...
Guys please help...I'm in trouble...
If the kernel you used is uncompatible or if its a stock kernel,you will get issues,also if you set the frequency to high for your phone,it will give issues,Look @ this.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727171

I tried restarting the phone. Nothing happened. I removed the battery and re inserted. Nothing happened.
, I decided to factory reset. I lost root, but the kernel stuck...Aaaarrrggghhhh.
Problem still persisting.
Umm by battery pull, do you mean removing the battery while the phone is on?
(Update: Trying removing the battery while the phone was on...didn't help)
Thankfully, I've got the S View cover...So most of the screen is black, just the time, etc are on...
