Well. Today I decided that rooting and flashing my flyer would be a good idea. So I decided to go to the dev site, and all I got was error 173. Which I ended up with, no matter how I many times I tried.
My flyer is currently running 3.2.1, stock hc, locked , and has s-on. I'll find the build number and the rest later. But I've spend 7 hours looking through various topics on downgrading, unlocking, and rooting, but it all stops at HTC dev, and I the only other way to unlock bootloader seems a bit too advanced for me. So, please guys, I really need a piece of advice, or help, and I shall be grateful. Contacting HTC on their Facebook, and on their Twitter, hasn't helped so far.
What is the best way to unlock the bootloader? Except htc dev ? And rooting it?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, except my h boot number ends on 11 and revolutionary tells me that it's not supported at this time.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
If the number is lower than 1.10.0000 or 1.11.0003 then do the update via OTA above, if you have the above you need to do down.
Be the full number.
Exactly. I just got contacted by htc about it. They don't know why it isn't working either. In order to downgrade my h boot, I need to have an unlocked bootloader or root, ne?

I finally got the nerve to try and root my 3D today and all for nothing, with the latest update on the phone you cannot root with the current HBOOT 1.5 until a update is devoloped so how long will it be before we get an update for this?
I am very anxious to root so is there an update coming soon??? PLEASE!!!!!
Sorry guys, As I was writing this post it was aready being answered, well sort of..... I still would like to find out how long it will be before an update will be out.....
you can have root with hboot 1.5. Unlock using HTC's method and install CWM. From there you can install any rom with root access.
Sitting back and watching this one... btw this should be in general or q&a.

Why would you want a semi...cwm is a hit or miss. Plus only previous s-off phones it works on. The unlock is just the.bootloader

ok, i've successfully completed the htc unlock method. trying to install CWM, do you mean rom manager? that doesnt allow me to flash a recovery, comes up with some error.
i'm coming from samsung forums, so this(htc) is all new to me. can you point me in the right direction?
i'm just trying to figure out what you mean by "install cwm".

No, they didn't - they released something they call unlocked, but it can't be easily or reliably rooted. They are playing word games with us.
It's not easy but it can be done if pPl know what they are doing. And id they follow instruction. Mind you I did it without a guide on a Mac.

You currently can't root 1.5 without using HTC's method. Revolutionary is supposedly working on it but its been along time and there doesn't seem to be that much of a rush since HTC released their method.

Same here luda I'm still waiting for unrevoked to be updated it seems that alot of people are having problems with oficial htc unlock and you can't even install cm7 unless you rooted your phone with unrevoked so I guess we just have to wait maybe one month or two or three who knows

Yea but it sure is taking long though. I have sat in front of my pc ready to use HTC unlock but I just don't want to.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
It is possible to flash CM7 with the HTC Unlock . You have to do it through fastboot . But I agree with everyone here Im not really liking the idea of using the HTC unlock . I to have found myself on HTC's website but just cant bring myself to trust them . I have been waiting patiently for Alpha/Unrevoked to work some magic . That or hope like hell something goes wrong with mine and I get another warranty claim and get 1.40 bootloader on the replacement LOL
How long have you guys been waiting?
Also I don't see no threads out there about alpha/rev working on hboot 1.50 so that ish is driving me crazy....

I am very new to this, but my Droid DNA, that i just got, is giving me troubles with unlocking the bootloader. I am used to samsungs, and HTC's are confusing to me... I just rooted my uncles HTC One S, and that was pretty simple, but this is still mind boggling to me. If you know how to fix this, please PM me. I have tried the SuperCID app, and it doesnt change my MEID, and HTCDev wont work until I unlock the Verizon Bootloader. I've tried HTCDev, but i keep getting the error code 160, MID Not Allowed. Please help me. thank you for any advice you may have.

If you just bought the phone and it has the newest update, you can't unlock or root. There is no method for the new firmware.
smh... doesn't anybody read anymore? I thought it was normal to gather information before diving in to Unlock bootloaders... Guess not.
Sorry to be so harsh but there are a ton of threads here that would have let you know this is not possible

No. SuperCID broke with the 2.04 update. There is no way to downgrade. There is no current alternative.

I wonder if setting S-off would help the camera problem i am having with my One. I posted the problem a few minutes ago. My question is what is S-On or S-off mean? I saw when I was rooting my phone and flashing a custom kernel....
Can I ask what the two of you are even talking about ? I don't think you know .
No htc phone requires soff it's optional thing when available .And not always easy to achieve with HTC.You must gain an unlocked bootloader before you can root once you unlock and root you then can soff if it's been achieved for the specific device that one is attempting soff with.
It has nothing to do with needing it for root or needing it at all, soff just gives us the complete total control to flash kernels roms and a ton more of tech stuff.

You can't change soff or s on the way u think .It's not anything to do with what you are thinking.
Soff is very hard to achieve it takes great minds to do so . This is why HTC is greatly difficult to hack over the Samsung devices .
You don't need soff so stop worrying about it .trust me ,cause the HTC one is like the nexus models they work the same soff isn't needed really where as any other HTC soff phone is needed to flash roms in there entirety.
Without soff on most HTC phones you have to flash roms in pieces like boot.img has to be done from a pc before flashing the rom ,whereas the One can still do all that with s On.

How to tell if DNA has the OTA update?
Thinking of purchasing a used DNA (coming from a Gnex), and getting very intimidated by all the threads on rooting.
Looks like Moonshine is where it's at for this phone, but can someone tell me how where to look to see if the phone has
the OTA update already? A screenshot would be greatly appreciated but I'll take what I can get.

I'm not using Sense so no screenshot, but go to settings and at the bottom look for "About Phone" and one of the numbers should be 2.06...
Most likely the updates will automatically give you a popup when found, or you can manually check for updates.

Moonshine will S-Off and unlock your bootloader all in one snap. I recommend factory resetting the phone before attempting to rule out any issues. It will work, I've moonshined 8 different htc devices and all worked 100% without issue.
