Lucky guy... got mine from Amazon about a month ago and it was already updated when I got it. Seriously disappointed, but it's still a great phone. Even simple root would make it a lot better, though.

Hey Buddy!
Just send it off to get JTAG before you take it out of the box I just did one that way. I picked it up and powered it on though before I stuck it back in the box and shipped it out.
Honestly I'd probably buy one outright and save the upgrade for a new phone.

Hey, good to see a name I know. I'm actually using my wife's upgrade to get the DNA and keeping my unlimited data. She is going to take my rezound. Once I can get the upgrade on my line I will use wire fly to transfer my upgrade to her and get a newer phone. Im trying to my unlimited at all cost. I never heard of JTAG. I'll check it out.
Also what's up with the no root?

The devs exploited the bootloader to get us unlocked and achieved a 1 minute s off process. Then one of the updates closed up the hole we were using basically. Everyone who ever unlocked before the update is fine. it's only phones that didn't have the CID changed (HTC-Dev hboot unlock is achieved by changing the CID from Verizon's to a custom 2222222 CID then using htc-dev.com like normal) that can't be unlocked.
JTAG accesses the service ports on the main board with a special hardware called a riif box. It accesses the device at the lowest level so locked bootloader is no obstacle. It's like what the manufacturer uses to flash the DNA firmware onto the board. So its kinda like if HTC plugged up the phone and unlocked it and turn the security flag off.
You send them the phone, they open it up, wire it to the hardware box and use the accompanying software to do whatever you need, it will even flash at a low enough level to repair a true software brick as long as its not a hardware explosion or something that bricked it.
Mobile Tech Videos is the name of a real reputable shop in Texas I've dealt with a lot. PM me for my GTalk if you want to talk to some more.

Whatever you do, don't let it update when you get it! I recommend not installing the SIM (so it can't phone home) and unlocking it first. If you're not too comfortable with using adb, I think my writeup (in my sig) explains it well enough for you to follow.

Keep your fingers crossed that HTCdev site adds the Thunderbolt in the future, you may want to hit up craigslist and look up Thunderbolt in or near where you live. I know here in Arizona you can pay someone around 20 to 30 bucks and have them root it for you. Make sure they use the long root since I have heard bad things about one click devices having to do with the Thunderbolt. Good luck.

If your talking about HTC adding the thunderbolt to the bootloader unlocking site, then you must realize that it doesn't root your phone. It only unlocks the bootloader, and in turn void your warranty (don't think they won't flag your device when you use their tool).
Sure you'll be able to download a rooted RUU and flash it via hboot, and this might open the doors for a one click root app if your bootloader is already unlocked, but is that worth your warranty?

Oh I am sure they will come up with someway to keep track of the phone that do unlock, that is why I will continue to use the unlock method through ADB and the great hackers of android. Then when the phone takes a dump, I wont know where I left it and file a lost phone claim and attempt to fix it with all my might to have parts or a spare phone.

I don't believe the contract says anything about it, but the warranty on the other hand is a different story.

I always wondered, if you told Verizon you are or were rooted, do they write it down? So even if you unroot they will know your warranty is void?

First of all, they probably won't check the bootloader to see if you've unlocked it. And if you really wanna be precautious, you can revert back to locked, although it is an extensive process
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Honestly i really understand why unlocking the bootloader voids your warranty since you cant really break your phone being S-ON, now if you were S-OFF that is a whole other story. And honestly someone who is unlocked and/or rooted is likely to have enough experience to be able to fix almost any software related issue(not always the case though). Being unlocked and/or rooted shouldnt hold you back from sending it in for warranty. Although i have heard some people say it goes through warranty just fine being rooted and unlocked.

I don't know legally what they can do, but I've had a few conversations with the local reps in my area. They don't care if you phone is rooted as most of them have rooted phones. I was in with my dad the one day back when he was getting the Tbolt, and the rep noticed that my bolt was rooted. He said honestly, he would never recommend the bolt to someone who wasn't going to root it anyway. I've been told that they are a lot more lax about rooting now than they were in the past.
At the Verizon store near me, the only person that cares is the manager. The rest of the employees don't care
Sent from my Rezound using xda app-developers app
As far as I know Verizon doesn't care at all if you root, (I've unlocked the bootloader, relocked and sent in many Rezounds and they never cared) and HTC just tells you they have the right to not honor your warranty when you unlock your bootloader, at their discretion, but they almost always honor it.
Another thing, unless you have the extended warranty with Verizon (I think), your Rezound's warranty is handled by HTC, Verizon is just the middle man.
Legally Verizon can't do anything as it is legal for any consumer to root and do whatever the hell they want with the software on their phones, but they can choose not to honor your warranty if they feel your modifications are the reason the phone became faulty.

I think the only risk you would have is if they somehow found out you were tethering. It does day in the Verizon contact that you can't tether without using (and paying for) their service.
But I've also heard from countless people that they would never know. Unless you returned a phone with the tether app and files still in there.

Not 100% true. If you are doing a WiFi tether, where the device is acting as a hotspot they can tell because they can see more than one private IP being routed through your devices' public IP. This combined with the fact that you don't have hotspot on your account can be considered a breach of contract.
Hey guys and gals, I am coming over to T-Mobile from Verizon on Thursday, and most likely getting the HTC One in the process.
Maybe this is a Verizon thing, but sometimes when you accept an OTA update, it will break root, relock the bootloader and you are stuck without root if you take the update.
Do I need to worry about that on T-Mobile and the One? In other words, when I'm in the store purchasing the phone, should I try and stop them from running any updates? Or can I root regardless?
Thanks!

If you root on tmobile then you won't get any OTA updates, so that's a moot worry. Luckily the updates pop on here pretty quickly so you can simply sideload them.

I'm happy without root. Only thing that I hate is that I can't get rid of kids mode, that water game, carrier iq, and lookout. However, because I have the premium handset protection I got the paid version for free recently which is nice.
As well as the T-Mobile apps visual voicemail (i want to use Google voice and can't) , T-Mobile tv, and the name id app that has since expired from the trial period which is stupid if you ask me. Spend $600 bucks and can't get something like that free.

And to celebrate, a day later Verizon Wireless forced HTC to take the bootloader unlock down from htc.dev site.
Yea looks like Verizon certainly has a firm grip around HTC and Samsung's balls. Both flagship devices are now locked down with the latest softwares.
And with VZW locking down the bootloader on the One, it is now time that VZW and I break up.

I have returned quite a few phones that I have relocked and unrooted without one problem through warranty exchange. I'm not concerned with it at all and I am on the Next program as of this phone. Besides that, the warranty is up after the 1st year. This is just my experience and I can't speak for everyone.
