what is the easier way of unlocking,rooting,s-off. i have heard rumrunner and htc dev, im just getting back into android so im pretty rusty but im trying to install a rom on my max. thanks guys.
you need the latest htc drivers first, then you need to unlock/get s-off, with rum runner, (I unlocked with htc dev), install a custom back up like TWRP, run a backup,(always have a back up), then get root...You need to do most of this with ADB commands, so if you dont know them, or understand that, read up on that FIRST..
After that, you can flash roms safely...
You need to read alot first, so dont just jump into this; its very easy, once you understand what you are doing, but there is no "one click" easy method..
The actual process of all this takes about 20 minutes, once you know what you are doing...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
more important stuff prior to running rummrunner..
Windows
HTC drivers installed and working – fastboot AND adb drivers
HTC sync removed (not closed – REMOVED)
All other phone software removed or disabled (Samsung Kies, PDANet, etc.)
VM’s are unsupported.
ALL firewalls and internet security applications should be totally disabled. If you get stuck with rows and rows of dots during the connection test process, it’s network filtering or other network issue!
A working internet connection
USB debugging enabled on your device
Fast boot disabled on your device (settings -> battery -> UNcheck “fast boot”)
Your device must be HTCDEV unlocked or rooted unless using rumrunner with a device blocked by htcdev (e.g. m7wlv)
Instructions
Once you confirm you meet the above pre-requisites, it’s time to get started.
Read all of the directions on this page before proceeding to the downloads page.
Ensure device is booted to android with usb debugging enabled.
USB 2.0 ports are preferred.
USB 3.0 ports are known to cause connectivity problems
You should not be connected using any hubs which may cause connectivity issues
Use the original HTC USB cable or a cable that you know to work with adb and fastboot on this device
Ensure that lock screen security is disabled on your device.
no passcode lock
no pattern lock
no face lock
Be sure to disable any Firewall or Anti-Virus applicatoins for the during of the Rumrunner process.
Will I fail due to this computer only having USB 3.0 ports?
The manufacturer told me the ports adjust themselves for USB 2.0 device.
I have adb.exe and fastboot.exe in Windows 7's path,
(I did have to upgrade to Windows 7 for support for
the android drivers).
Both tools work in their respective modes device/recovery
and fastboot with my VZW HTC Rezound.
I did need a patched hboot for it to get the
fastboot subcommands to work.
Does the ONE MAX hboot from HTC support fastboot flash
and fastboot zip out of the box, or do I need to
find a patched one?

You should not have trouble using adb or fastboot with your out of the box One Max. I pulled mine right out of the ADT bundle. You will most likely however run into issues due to your PCs USB 3.0 ports. You should note that rumrunner doesn't work with the newest One Max devices running hboot 2.47. You will need to use to use the Firewater S-Off Tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2632351
Good Luck
Why has nobody ever posted a how to root or ROM reviews videos for the HTC one max Verizon is it just not that popular of a device?

Rumrunner (and now firewater) unlocks bootloader, s-off and roots Verizon variants. Any time after that you can root or install rom with costom recovery.
Thanks for the response

This is the 3rd time i have tried S-off my Evo V. To be honest, idk why i am bothering with it because the radio issue is annoying but it fixes itself within a minute or two.
But i'm unlocked via HTC dev, i'm rooted and i am using JMZstock odex rom and i am following the directions here(at least i think i am)
Unlimited.IO
I do step 10 and everything is there.
I run controlbear...it does it's thing...after it finds the fourth file, it reboots the phone and then loads for 45 seconds
and then it keeps saying
Hmm, still no device
Open device manager and check adb and/or fastboot drivers!!
I can't get past this.
I am using a Windows 7 laptop....i read somewhere to try a different USB port and i have 3 and i've tried all 3 but i have no clue what to do.
Do you have USB debugging enabled in settings? Also if you have HTC sync installed on your PC uninstall it. Also iTunes if it is on there. These programs will interfere with the wire trick process. Make sure your stock ROM with superuser too.

Yeah i had the usb debugging enable and i uninstalled HTC Sync and for good measure i also got rid of Motodrive/Moto cast and Samsung Kies from when i had my razr and gs3.
I have no clue what is going on though and why i get stuck after it finds the 4th device.
There is a specific version of controlbear for Evo V (VM), use that.
Also, you need an RUU for your device in order to S-OFF.
None of the other ROMs will work for Evo V.

I have tried almost everything, but I can't get my phone recognized in fastboot mode.
I tried what was listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39218156#post39218156

I was able to get mine working with the combo of
1. uninstalling any HTC sync or sync manager and the HTC BMP USB Driver. Basically anything HTC.
2. Install HTC sync. Not sync manager. Go to the HTC support page and you'll see both listed. If you go to the specific phone support page it might not be there. (One S doesn't have the sync program, just sync manager iirc.)
3. Download PDAnet. When installing, It'll give a warning that you already have drivers installed and ask if you want to fix them or leave as is. I chose it to fix and it went though its process and I had working drivers after that.
I think this was already suggested before. I going back and giving thanks wherever due after this post. (On the mobile app right now)
Other easy way if you're using a One S is to download Hasoon2000's All-On-One Toolkit. He's updated the drivers for windows 8. I haven't tried it yet as mine are working so haven't had the need. I would assume his tool for any of the other phones he supports would have the updated drivers too.

And the phone is recognized fine when in regular mode. Though, whenever I reboot the phone into the Bootloader using adb, it restarts into the fastboot, but it doesn't change to "Fastboot USB" and shortly after I get a "USB Device Not Recognized" on my PC and it saying something about it malfunctioning. So I get stuck on "Waiting for device" when trying out this command "fastboot oem get_identifier_token."
Any ideas? I'm trying to unlock the bootloader and root so that I can install custom ROMs and kernels.
Hey there! Sorry my fix didn't work for you.
My question is, are you running windows 8 or 8.1? The reason I ask is because the 8.1 update has broken fastboot apparently. I don't remember the last time I tried on my computer to see if fastboot still works or not since I updated to 8.1.
If you are running 8.1 windows then the guide at droid-now.com seems to have worked for many people. Go to that site and search fastboot fix windows 8.1 or you could just Google that too I guess. I would paste the link right now but my phone is being stupid and not letting me paste it ATM. :-|
If that doesn't work then you may be able get what you need done by dual booting into Ubuntu if you feel comfortable doing so. You could easily make a bootable flash drive that you could boot into just for an emergency. I just used one for about 4 days while fixing my computer after I accidentally erased the partition tables of my hard drive, trying to make a permanent installation of Ubuntu. Got it fixed BTW! ats self on back:
Keep us posted if you get it fixed or have any more questions! I hope I've been at least a little helpful. I'll try to help any more I can if possible!
Good luck!

I am running Windows 8.1, however it looks like the fix only applies to Intel motherboards connecting through USB 3.0 ports. I do have USB 3.0 ports, but my motherboard is AMD and my USB3 controller reads "VIA USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 0100 (Microsoft)." I'm not sure that the fix applies to me, unfortunately. Also, I am not connecting my phone to my PC using the USB3.0 ports.
I tried downloading the USB 3.0 Drivers for Windows 8 64-bit on the manufacturer's website for my motherboard (http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4305), but when I try to update my drivers to the ones I got from the website it says that the Microsoft provided ones are the most recent/ up to date drivers.

Be Advised, there is perhaps a way , you wil find in the link below, but be sure to use the right intel driver And only if you hae an intel chipset for usb3 , please read the comments and my bad experience :
Under win8.1/X64 that if you have(like me) an Intel 8 /c220 (or with a 4th generation like intel I7 4770k) you may encounter a big mess , and perhaps you''l have to do a clean install of win 8.1 : all the usb2 DEVICES were disconnected after the first iusb3xhc.inf driver install !! So no more usb/Bluetooth keyboard+mouse , fortunately i had an old ps2 keyboard and i was able to delete only with "tab/alt Tab/ctrl tab" keys the
"intel usb3 extensible " line in device manager, and as soon as i done a refresh (ALT+A) in device manager the previous driver(Microsoft) was reinstalled by win 8.1 andall the usb2 devices connected (mouse/keyb/hub etc)
http://plugable.com/2012/12/01/windo...#comment-19066
see there there's in the last comments at the bottom , Andrew(tks to him!)a link + modified drivers for intel8/c220)
and for me it worked mouse/keyB were functional during all the process
next step check the fastboot adb is working now
Here you go... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061435
A later post I made (I havent updated the OP, shame on me...) is a link to some universal drivers from CWM that works fantastic! - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40108463#post40108463
Before trying this I would goto your device manager and right click on the currently installed drivers and uninstall them before installing the drivers again.
Hope that helps. I am using the link found in that second link and fastboot and adb works perfect. Also, while you can boot into fastboot, stock 1.58 will not let you run a lot of fastboot commands and will need to flash a different hboot.
Hello friends at XDA!
I need some help. I have a Tmobile M7 HTC One. I have TWRP 2.7 running just fine. I have been able to flash a few ROM's using just that. I now want to install Kitkat GPe and it seems to require S-Off or else I get stuck in a bootloop. For what it's worth, I have Hboot 1.44. The phone has developer mode turned on. And it has USB debugging turned on.
I made such a mess that I formatted the whole device and had to flash a new ROM via USB OTG. It's back in working order now... but, not with the ROM I want. Currently running the newest stable Cyanogen Mod.
I have attached the phone to a Windows 7 and Windows 8 computer. Neither of them will recognize the phone.
On the Win7 machine, I had HTC Sync installed and closed. I also installed Squabbi's Toolkit and attempted to install the drivers from it. When I click the HTC Drivers button, nothing happens. I have tried connecting to adb through the tooklit and turning S-off... but, they all return some version of the Error: Device Not Found message.
On the Win8 machine, there was no HTC software, so I installed Squabbi's kit. I pressed the HTC Drivers button and it said it had installed new hardware... but, again, ADB won't connect.
I, frankly, don't care about ADB or s-off, as I've never needed them before. I just want to install 4.4 GPe. If I can do that without S-off, please point me in that direction. If I can turn S-off directly from the phone without ADB, please point me in that direction. And if I really need ADB to work, please help!
I'm almost certain this solution is already posted somewhere... and I'm just not able to find it... sorry to be a drag if that's the case. Either way, I'd be happy to reward (paypal) the person/people who help me get this resolved. I'm thinking like $10...
Thanks everyone!
Hey all,
I've got a One Max T6VZW running the latest NuSenseSIX and Flykernel 2.3.2, TWRP 2.8.1.
I am unlocked, S-off, but have my bootloader displaying locked (for the fingerprint scanner).
I can't recall at what point this began, probably after achieving unlocked status (I vaguely remember using ADB at the time).
I've tried to connect to Windows 7, 8.1, Ubuntu 13.13, Linux Mint, and probably openSUSE, but nothing can see my phone.
Only in fastboot is it ever even noted by Windows 7 (USB device not recognized; briefly).
I've tried HTC drivers from HTC Sync (sync uninstalled), HTC drivers standalone, and Android drivers from Squabbi's HTC One Max toolkit.
Can't be seen in Android, fastboot, bootloader, recovery, or recovery USB mass storage.
The One Max recognizes USB has been plugged in, begins charging, and allows me USB networking options, but no other options.
I've used multiple USB cables, and multiple ports (USB 3 and 2).
I think I may have put a stock (although leaked) RUU on my external SD card and installed that via the bootloader, and even that was unable to resolve the problem.
Has anyone experience this? Any solutions or ideas?
Attached is software information.
Thanks to all in advance.

This may sound stupid but is your firewall by chance blocking from drivers being installed from windows update,
I don't believe so, as I've had this issue on multiple operating systems.
I haven't had luck with Microsoft's drivers as well, and Windows Update installs them without problem.
Hope this helps !

Olrite so i guess you are dealing with the same i dealt with a while ago when i was on cayanogen mod 11 on my HTC one M7 International ... there are many alternatives to transfer stuff from phone to Laptop but first lets talk about the normal one
Method 1 which you should try is ....
* Download the HTC sync manager .. its ok if you dont wanna use it to transfer data .. just install it ...
* ok so now the important one .. make sure you have window media player installed on your computer ....
okay so why windows media player ??
Well it contains all the MTP drivers you need to connect your phone to your pc ...
* you can restart your system now .. (Optional)
* now connect your device with debugging on ... grab the notification bar click on USB related notification .. and choose MTP or something like that ...i mean don't choose HTC sync manger .. choose the other one
* Now if everything went well you will se your storage in My computer ... and in Windows media player too...
Method 2....
Well if nothing works then download an app called Air Droid ...
it have some nice functionality ...
you will get to know how to use it after installing it ...
by chance if the local link given in the app does not works make a hotspot .. connect your computer to it and open a browser like chrome .. and go to 192.168.1.1:8888
Note : port 8888 is pre configured in the app so if you changed it .. use the dirrent port you used ..
If you are not laptop is not connected with your phone's hotspot then your phone and computer should be on the same network ..
Good luck ... hit thanks if it works just to let me know

First of all, saying you "tried everything" is so vague as to be pointless and not even worth typing. What does "everything" mean? If you aren't specific as to what you've tried and what you haven't, it makes it harder for folks to help you.
The most common fixes for USB connectivity issues and/or RUU issues are:
- Try running the RUU in bootloader-fastboot mode, and also booted into OS (if possible).
- Uninstall and re-install HTC drivers
- Try a different USB port
- Try different USB cables
- Disable USB 3.0 if you PC has it
- Try a different PC
- Don't run on a Mac emulating a PC
Also, you haven't provided much info. S-on or s-off? Is the bootloader relocked or locked (a requirement to RUU if you are s-on).
A few folks have reported the issue of RUU terminating with no error at or after the Terms & Conditions screen. If I remember properly, using a another PC is the solution.
