I'm confused, I read somewhere you can root the Verizon HTC One Max and other places you can't. Can you?
From the creator of the s-off exploit in post #72
[s-off] rumrunner s-off - Page 8 - xda-developers http://bit.ly/1cJu2wI
What he is trying to say is that rumrunner.us which now works for the verizon one max unlocks the bootloader and roots it as part of the process.

I've been searching and looking around for a couple weeks now. Is it possible to root the Rogers HTC Evo 3D without unlocking, with s-on, and without downgrading the hboot?

Unfortunately there is no method for gaining s-off without having to unlock first. However with this guide that ramjet73 put together you can have your phone s-off with "locked" bootloader by the time you finish performing the wire trick. You will have to have to unlock your phone and gain root first before you perform the wire trick. A lot of people have said that using a paper clip works the best. Well here you go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
Dont forget to hit the thank you button if I helped you in anyway and don't forget to drop a thank you for ramjet either.
Thanks for the referral jsparta26, but he's got a GSM model and my guide is specifically for Sprint S-ON phones.
If you had the CDMA version you could do the hboot 1.4 downgrade for S-OFF that requires bricking the phone but doesn't need HTC unlock. There was a "quick root" utility posted in the General Forum a few weeks ago that didn't work on the CDMA model with the Sprint ICS build installed but I don't know if it's been tested on the GSM model yet. Post #5 in that thread says it requires HTC unlock, but the OP never confirmed that in that thread or the original version he linked.
Maybe a GSM user knows of a way to get S-OFF on your model without the HTC unlock. Are you aware that the JuopunutBear wire trick resets your bootloader status to "locked" (at least on CDMA) even though you have to do the HTC unlock as a prerequisite? There is no indication on your phone afterwards that you were ever unlocked. Once you are S-OFF you can flash whatever hboot you want.

Thank you both for the info. I tried the htc quick root program but it said my phone was patched and failed. I was just wondering if I could just get root without unlock or s-off.

Are you still on gb or ics? Kingcobra has a ics Rom that is was developed from the rogers ota, why do just want root access?
(don't ask me for help, as I couldn't care less if you phone explodes,eh!!!)
I'm on the official ICS update. I just wanted root to use certain apps like ad free.

Oh my bad ram. Lol I guess I overlooked that. It's all good. I'm glad you cleared that up. I am not sure how to go about getting s-off on gsm but with rams suggestion hopefully you can find the answer your looking for sithlord. Goodluck.
Hi All,
so i have an EVO 4G LTE with HBOOT 1.12, SW v1.13.651.1 710RD.
i just rooted the device using ZEDOMAX script, and i've been reading but i need a confirmation from someone that's been more active than me with an EVO 4G LTE. As of today, there is no S-OFF method that doesnt use the HTCDEV ?
i'm trying to unlock the bootloader without having to use the HTCDEV. I got as far as lazypanda but apparently they've replaced it with DIRTY RACUN and that requires HTCDEV as well. So is there any way to acquire S-OFF without using HTCDEV. Thanks in advance.
Although I'm not familiar with that root method, you should already be HTC Dev unlocked if you're rooted.
Getting S-off doesn't require HTC Dev, either (at least with Lazy Panda).

AFAIK there's no way to gain s-off without HTC unlock.
More importantly why is HTC ulock something to worry about . If your worried about your HTC warranty more than gaining s-off I would reccomend not rooting your phone at all

I'm aware it's not there because it is no longer supported by Team Unlimited.

Hey I saw this posted on a thread for the lazy panda.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/z7kle6swa793exb/S-Off Feed the Panda (HBOOT 1.12).zip
Hi All.
I recently received a replacement phone from sprint. The phone is on:
hboot: 1.15
version: 1.22.651.3 710RD
Now, is there method to downgrade to hboot 1.12 without using htcdev.com to unlock bootloader?
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Why are you wanting to downgrade your bootloader?

Hi FinZ28,
thanks for your input. the reason why hboot 1.12 because as far as i know is the only one that can allow me to S-OFF without using the htc dev method, correct me if im wrong.
Now if there is a method to obtain S-off on 1.15 without using HTC DEV to unlock bootlader please let me know.
Thanks again.
The only way to downgrade is by using the toolkit in the link I posted previously, however, you must be HTC Dev unlocked to use it. To gain S-off you will need to unlock with HTC Dev & then gain S-off via Facepalm or Dirty Racun.
If you're wanting to downgrade for the purpose of using Lazy Panda, keep in mind that it's no longer supported and if you get in a tight spot trying to use it, you may have trouble getting help, particularly from Team Unlimited.
Also, I'm fairly certain that Lazy Panda required an unlocked bootloader. There is an exploit for the One that allows you to gain S-off without unlocking, but not for the EVO LTE.

Every S-OFF exploit for the Evo LTE requires you to be HTC-Dev unlocked

Nope you're wrong, if you have hboot 1.12 and you manage to get feedpanda / lazypanda you will be s-off without using HTC dev
Ok good luck

Yeah I'm pretty much out of Luck since it seems impossible right now to revert without using HTC Dev. I guess is time to upgrade.
Thanks for your input guys, I appreciate it.
I dug up the Lazy Panda thread and yes, @torankusu was correct. Lazy Panda will work on a locked bootloader. I used it when I first got my phone over a year ago when it was still supported but I was already dev unlocked. Still, though, there is no way to downgrade to Hboot 1.12 without unlocking the bootloader.

Hello, I previously had a HTC ONE m7 and understood it all In regards to rooting and s-off. It's just ideally I would hope to use the Firewater temp root to gain s-off and unlock boot loader that way instead of using htcdev. I have my htc one max on 4.3 still with hboot 2.47 I think it is. Can it be done has any one managed to do it this way? Also will my fingerprint scanner work doing it that way? And lastly while using my HTC ONE m7 there were simple guides ruu's etc to return to stock. How easy is it with the HTC ONE max? Thanks

Don't worry about RUU's for now and just get s-off before doing the software update, you might not be able to get s-off with later versions of bootloader.
All other processes are the same.

Temp root or perm root, does not make a big difference. so if you have full root already you can directly go ahead to do the actual s-off.
If i remember correctly i did s-off when there was no unsecure kernels/ROM's in the forum, do post your results we would be able to sort it out.

Hi. Just after a few answers really.. I've just recently upgraded from a Desire HD, which i rooted and ROM'd using the now non existent Advanced hack kit.. Now that was easy enough to do as it was one piece of kit that did everything, but i've done a little reading about rooting and ROM'ing the One Max and i'm a little daunted as it's a new phone and don't fancy bricking it at this stage and have heard various people saying there are a few ways to do it..
Now i know i have to visit HTCDEV and sign up to unlock the bootloader, which i've yet to do.. But i just need to know if there's a similar one stage program after unlocking the bootloader like the hack kit on the previous phone. If it's too involved i won't bother, but would be nice to know if there is one..
Any help would be appreciated.

You don't have to visit HTC Dev to unlock if your on Verizon. You can use rumrunner found in the Original Android Dev section to unlock, S-Off and root your device... If your not with Verizon, I believe you need to use HTC Dev and then you can use rummrunner or fire water also in Original Android Dev section.

Yeah i'm in the UK so no Verizon here...
So what you're saying is then, once i've unlocked the bootloader via HTCDEV, that i can use rumrunner to do the whole rooting thing in one program?? What about this, this seems to look similar to the advanced hack kit?

I'm in UK and used firewater to temp root. unlock and s-off. then after that installed custom recovery and then rooted through that. then custom rom'd. it is quite involved as you need HTC drivers working fastboot and adb etc I haven't heard of anyone using the tool you quoted since I've had phone so it's up to you. and the tool probably won't be just a one click. what are your details in hboot?

I didn't have luck with that toolkit, but give it a try. I know rummrunner works.
