I have always used adaway on my devices but it does not seem to work properly for me on this device. I am running Verizon One Max stock rom, Rooted, S-off, bootloader is relocked. Should it be working with these settings.
as far as i know there is no relation between your rom/s-off/bootloader or anything else. it should work if you have it installed and running properly.
Its not. I'm not sure what's going on. A little more info. If I try to open the host file from the adaway app nothing happens. When using any root app that wants to reboot the phone it just closes and I have to reboot manually. Not sure if this is related but it is what I have found.

I had the same issue with the Sprint variant until I install an unsecure boot.img. Without the unsecure boot.img root was not functioning correctly. Not sure if this is the exact same issue or not, but its worth looking into, and before you ask: No I don't have a unsecure boot.img for the Vzw device, and no the one for Sprint should not work on the Vzw device.
Thanks for the info. I know the sprint version is no good to me. I have been all over Google and am guessing a Verizon unsecured boot.IMG is just not available right now. If anyone out there knows a link please help.

I believe one or two people are working on providing the Verizon files and/or an ruu. Not sure what issue you might be having as I am on Verizon and don't seem to be having issues with adblock plus. I have not relocked my bootloader since running rumrunner though. So for now you may have to do without fingerprint and leave bootloader unlocked until the files come out.

I unlocked it again and rerooted just to be safe. Still no good. The only thing I see that has changed is ad away now shows me the host file when I tell it to. It is full of blocked things but it is not blocking. I added a site manually and rebooted. I can still get to the site. I will try ad block plus. Maybe it will work better.

Last post I care to make on this issue. I am just going to deal with it. Someone released the insecure boot.img for verizon but it still does not solve my issue. No ads are blocked.
My device also face that problem like after reboot device the adblock app disable itself again.

Where did you get one touch root? Is it in the market because i know it was but then google took it down right after i bought it
I found it in the market, I downloaded it on my incredible, used astro file manager to make a back up, then emailed the apk to myself, used my WiFi tether from my incredible and connected to fascinate to the WiFi and went to my email and downloaded the file, allowed unknown sources, installed the apk and that's it

Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I can confirm this does NOT work. The app doesn't even copy update.zip to my SD card. I was able to pull the zip file from unzipping the apk, however it fails signature when I do the recovery step.
give it a day or two at the max after tomorrow. I'm betting by the weekend this phone will be rooted and fully open for ROM's and whatever your heart desires.
I for one wouldn't trust a one click root that wasn't specifically made for the fascinate itself.
The app would need to be able to "handshake" with the device, so without specific parameters, no way this could work- unless of course designed for Galaxy S and any "custom" efforts VZW may have asked HTC to add.

He didn't use any fix, my friend.. The one click root doesn't work on the Fascinate.
That root method won't work on the Fascinate, as it needs signed update.zip files for recovery mode. Same as the Epic. Bit meh, really. The Epic root method seems to work though, sortof.
As far as the OCLF lag fix, it should work fine once you have rooted using other methods. I'm guessing the Fascinate is using RFS, so it probably would speed up your device.

Is the phone S-OFF?
How much access do you have to that phone if it is?
Nope S-ON. But I have unrestricted access for the next 30days
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I may be wrong here (I assure you someone will chime in if I am ), but at this point we may need to keep a look out for any S-OFF Phones as these have the best chance of having a SD Card we can take an image from. If I'm correct in my thinking, this alone wont help us as the individual card should be tied to that phone. Unrestricted access to such a phone would allow it to be studied at the very least.
Anyone know of any CID spoofers for mSD cards?
Well we have more than one. I'll check them all out and get back

Right. Only the OTA won't download on mine. I have a 30mbit connection for my wifi and Angry Birds downloads in seconds, but took the OTA 7 hours to get 3.5mb.
All of ours have S-ON RL...
Any idea what rl is?
Also if you can't download it OTA, I would assume renaming it to update.zip would work.

For some reason the Wi-fi on mine is screwy. 50mb connection from comcast and the router is right next tomine, same as my non 3d evo was on and I couldn't download a few games that needed to install data, would sit there and after about 3 minutes would say no internet connection....
It seems to work for apps and such in the market so I don't know. Just trying to provide as much info as I can. Just got it today too. Kind of buggy.
At one point would wake to lock screen and as soon as I pulled ring it went black, several times, not sure what made it work again.
Also, hit top button showed lock screen as only top half of screen. Had to reboot for this to clear....
I also know someone at the sprint store in my location and could ask him to look for a phone of that nature if we need it. Let me know.
i think the build number is old 1.11.651.3 i have 1.13.651.7

Then one might be able to find a chink in HTC's armor. For example, running fastboot/adb commands etc and comparing the output to normal phones. The missing functions between s-off and s-on would be significant.

I installed this 'renaming it to PG86IMG.zip' and now everything is kool except my wifi errors out. Doesn't even try to start...just gives me "error" when I try to start it.
I read in a few places that I need to use Goldcard to use OTA....any ideas if this is true or if I need to do something else??
BTW, I now have Hboot 1.40.00...instead of 1.30.00 so it won't even let me downgrade to factory shipping ROM.

Sounds like a radio issue. Try getting the radio file, and renaming it to PC36IMG and run it thru your bootloader.

No wifi calling in the update, Nov 13th it will be coming out. I didnt really notice anything new in the update. It didnt block us from anything. you can still do the perm-temp root in the dev section and unlock bootloaders through htcdev, so not sure what the update is.
Could it be to address the whole security issue htc was having? I updated and didnt notice anything either.

I would seriously think twice about taking any updates if you want s-off. Chances are they found an exploit that one of our dev might take advantage of.

I have had the AT&T HTC One for about 4 months now and it has never found a system update. I now know that the Kit Kat update is available, but again my phone tells me there is no update available and that it is up to date when I know it is not. I live in the US and I know others have gotten the update so I am not sure if something is wrong with the device or what...I am still on Android version 4.1.2 and HTC Sense version 5.0.
I have checked for the update while on Wi-Fi and still noting it says it is up to date. Is it possible I have just yet to receive it or is there something else I should try. or a way to get the upgrade manually?
Thanks

Gave that as hot and still nothing. My phone will occasionally start searching for an update but it will do it for hours and never find anything...not sure if its the phone or the update. I have read there were glitches. And I have read that some people have had it available one day and it was gone the next.could it have been removed to work out bugs? Or do I need a new SIM maybe? Seems like no update works.

No not really
It may be easier to get s-off with your current 4.1.2 setup but if your not interested in being unlocked and rooted you can just take the Signed RUU followed by the OTA.
The signed RUU is a windows app ..you can get it here
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe
Or you could just go to the store and get a new SIM.
My One (got it from Best Buy in the fall) wasn't updating, no matter what I tried (factory reset, changing the date, re-locking my bootloader). I read on another forum about someone getting a new SIM. When I went to the AT&T store this morning, I told them that I called Tech Support and they told me to come in and get a new SIM. They switched it out, no problem. The funny thing was, the guy remarked that my SIM (from Best Buy) looked a little different. Sure enough, I could tell it was colored a little different.
I get home and the OTA started downloading the second I connected to my WiFi (battery has to be over 50% - mine was around 90% due to just coming off car charger).
I'd go the new SIM route first, just to save yourself the hassle of reloading/reinstalling everything on your phone.

Hi everyone,
I have used the forums in the past to root my old s3 and before that to root/add a custom rom to an old HTC Aria so I do have a little experience with modifying phones. I recently got the HTC m8 (att version) and was holding off on doing anything to it until the EPS got added. Since the update today, EPS is currently live on my phone. How would I go about rooting it now? I saw a post about the old root methods, but will they still work with the new update? I basically want to root my phone so that I can uninstall any bloatware. I know I can disable it but would prefer to get it off completely. On my s3 I also used an app to prevent certain apps that I periodically used from automatically starting up. Would rooting be my best option? I have read up a little on the S-off, and I don't believe I need to do this to uninstall bloatware, but please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks in advance for any advice.
You may just wanna boot loader unlock and flash twrp first in order to keep that full stock image. So once you start uninstalling things you don't run into trouble. Also it's the easiest method to root (after fastboot flashing twrp 2.7.0.2, you can flash supersu 1.94 via recovery and your good to go. Stock backup with root

Old root methods worked for me, so unlocking the boot loader, flashing TWRP, then flashing supersu will work.

If you're already S-Off, then the update can't do anything about it.
If you're S-On, and firewater was patched in the update, then you shouldn't be able to S-Off (unless another exploit is found). Thing is, I don't think anyone who's S-On has updated yet to test firewater. I will when I get my replacement, but I won't have that for days.

Some people are having issues with the OTA update after they S-OFF. About 30-40% through the update process, their phone freezes with a red exclamation point on the screen. Then again, it works for others, so I'm not really sure what's causing the issue.
