Just got a DNA to replace a RAZR. I wasn't thinking so I let it do it's updates and all, OTA included. Did I screw myself and miss my chance to unlock bootloader, root, etc?
You're not screwed. RumRunner can unlock the newest OTA.

I've had a DNA since they were released over a year ago and I've installed OTAs every time they come down, does that mean this "RumRunner" software can still root the DNA? I've always wanted to root my device but was too nervous, but if it's pretty easy with "RumRunner" I'll give it a go.

I have PAD (Puzzles and Dragons) i don't know if there's a way to backup my countless hours of play, I'm sure rooting will wipe the phone so does anyone have any idea how to save the PAD software?? the rest of the crap on the phone I can restore, that's the only game I'm worried about losing.

VirtualBox: For the few instances when you absolutely must have Windows to run a specific program. Much better than Parallels, imho. It runs flawlessly on my Mac, but in all honestly, I rarely have the need to boot Windows.

You're welcome. I had to ditch Parallels 5 when I upgraded to Lion because Nova Software refused to support it on 10.7. I did look into getting Fusion but I opted for Virtual Box since it was open source. Plus, like I said, I rarely have the need to boot Windows, so why pay for something I'll hardly use? I think the only time I've had to boot Windows is when I tried to theme a few apps for my phone. I've yet to find a decent Mac equivalent to zip7.

Assuming you just need ADB you can download an Ubuntu live CD and run it off that. Completely free and relatively easy.

It *should* be possible. The bootloader just locks the boot partition for one. Just not the system partition which is where ROM root access is. I'd have to go over it with a fine tooth comb to figure it out, just don't have the resources (or time) yet.
But again, I've been getting literally thrown around a gym and choked for the past week, so my brain isn't at a 100%. Anyone, feel free to chime in if I'm wrong.
I always thought you could get temp root, but it reverts back on a reboot.

As of now, no one has a method of rooting the phone without unlocking the bootloader through HTCDev.com. However, HTC no longer supports unlocking the bootloader on this phone, so everyone is SOL unless you unlocked before they dropped the support. We will have to wait until someone finds an exploit to add root functionality.

sorry im just a little confused. ive had multiple android devices all which have been rooted and not all of them have had the bootloader unlocked. now this is my first htc product so im not really familiar with s-off. but i bought this phone thinking there were going to be lots of devs and everything working on it and this has killed my plans . i know patience is a virtue . i was just curious. i mean droid razrs have plenty of roms available and they are still on a locked bootloader
It all has to do with the exploit used to root the device. HTC has to have an unlocked bootloader so that you can use the bootloader to write the root files to the system folder.

same way, let it off for awhile then try if it doesn't pull battery and then try, it works
And turn off fast boot in Settings/Power.
i ended up rebooting, and just holding the power + volume down. that worked for me
to answer the og poster
if you have an unlocked b/l you can flash a custom recovery img which allows you to then flash a root package in that recovery
there is no current working exploit manually root the stock rom otherwise
Hmm. I just got the blank email from HTC. I hadn't yet tried unlocking today, and received it after 9pm. I tried, but it was to no avail. I was hoping HTC was secretly sending out emails for those who had repeatedly tried, trying to help them out.
If any devs need files pulled from the device I am buying one (or more) first thing this morning so just post instructions and I will have at it.

I am also going to order one. I've been anxiously waiting the release of this device since I first read about it on Android central. I've been running the VZW Gs4 for a while now and need a change. I'm really really hoping that it will have root bootloader and s-off just like the one (especially since they share the same chipset). I really hope there is developer interest in this device.
I was just at the store checking one out. The build quality feels amazing! And, despite the size, fits and feels just fine in the pocket of my jeans.
I did not walk out with it, but will probably end up talking myself into the purchase within the next couple of hours.

i said the exact same thing..i compared it next to the Note 3... the note 3 really felt cheap
i checked out the back cover, and the finish FELT and looked FLUSH from every angle. There were some reports of back cover not fitting snug in early production models?
the only thing that bothered me was the internals, all they needed was a SD800, and i would of completely been satisfied plunking down $600 + tax for one
I also got to see a White LG G2. There was a LG Rep that said, there could be a sale similar to last G2 deal, 450$ outright.. so i might just wait for that, and get the HTC M8 whenever that comes out

Yeah. I pinged him this morning because I needed his help to get temp root to pull kernel for beaups to use for bootloader unlock and s-off. Got stuck at work so didn't pick it up until about an hour ago. For now it's charging. Then I'm going to contact him and hopefully take care of business.

It should be quite easy, you just need a custom recovery and then you are rooted. please visit this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498749 and request for verizon support, the dev has been really good, kind enough and been quick to get the recovery for sprint & international models working!

Unfortunately as beaups has described to me it's a chicken/egg thing. They have to have the kernel before they can create *valid* recovery (other device recovery may work) and root but you have to be rooted to pull the kernel.

Got back into booloader by removing drivers that installed and installing HTC Sync Manager. Works for now so not removing sync manager itself until I have to.
No go on htcdev unlock. It let me get all the way to putting my device info and then came back with a code 160 MID not allowed message. Verizon likely shut that down early.
Now I have to try to connect with jcase (if available) to temp root...

Hi, this will be my first post but ive been a member for a while just never had a problem big enough to create a post till now. so this is my second max the first one was on 4.3 and rumrunner did the trick, but I have been reading almost every thread that had to do with s-off of hboot 2.49, i read about going to old drivers switching ports and cables basically did everything. I am on verizon and have temp root with weaksauce and have root but when firewater runs and its start chugging it either chugs one or two and then returns to the command line, one time it kept chugging to bottle 11(figured it was on a loop) so thats where i am at any guidance would be much appreciated. btw, i tried using the firewater temp root but i get a failed getting root so cant go on from there, just thought id share that.
By temp root, do you mean weaksauce?
Edit: reread and I see that you do. Sometimes these things just work randomly, I'd just keep trying. Maybe post a screenshot of exactly what your PC screen looks like when trying with weaksauce root?

I just had an idea. I was reading about weaksauce and it takes about a minute for root to become available after device boot. So, maybe you could try waiting a minute after the part where the device reboots to execute the next command.

chugging..........
after this it should say you are now s-off and blah blah blah(saw a pic someone put on one thread) what it does to me is:
opening first bottle 1

Strange. It might just not be possible on the latest firmware. Most s-off methods seems to work better if you've already unlocked the bootloader. But with the VZW model, you need to get s-off before unlocking bootloader, which I think might be a big reason why people have so much trouble with vzw s-off. I'm not too familiar with HTC, is there an official way to roll back the firmware without s-off?
