Hey all,
Just picked up a Verizon HTC One Max and would like to root it so I can use AdFree and Root Explorer. Maybe load Cyanogen sometime in the future but not a priority right now. I noticed very little separation of posts, Sprint, VZW, ATT, etc., and I would like to make sure I have the correct and simplest way for my Verizon device.
Firewater S-off
Also, where can I download the latest HTC One Max drivers?
Thanks in advance for your help.
As far as i know, Verizon does not allow unlocking of the MAX via HTCDev. Firewater requires unlocked/temp rooted device to S-Off. You should look at rumrunner - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525375
Drivers - first link on Google - https://www.google.com/search?q=htc+drivers+&oq=htc+drivers
From what I remember seeing,not unlockable via htcdev,which is needed for S-OFF.
From rumrunner site
Unlock your bootloader (devices that are blocked by htcdev only, e.g. Verizon HTC One)
Edit: Looks like it should work,according to site and other users,but via htcdev is a nogo

Not true. Rumrunner does both s-off and unlock in one shot on vzw. Did mine that way. To be honest, its even better this way as you aren't broadcasting to HTC that you are modifying the phones software.
To be perfectly clear again...rumrunner requires nothing other than a stock os phone on vzw. Have done two vzw maxx's this way.

@pradeepv had it right because he mentioned both rumrunner and firewater.
Vzw maxx only needs stock rom to s-off at this time. No need for HTC Dev unlock.

I quoted pradeep which is the second post and is entirely accurate. I am on verizon and worked with beaups to finalize rumrunner to get it working on the verizon model. That is still currently the best and easiest.

The way its phrased explains why the op is confused.
Op simply needs to run rumrunner.
Beaups has it spelled out like this on rumrunners page
Your device must be HTCDEV unlocked or rooted*unless using rumrunner with a device blocked by htcdev (e.g. m7wlv)
So no temp root or unlock required on op's part prior to running rumrunner.

Use rumrunner s-off unless your One Max is running Hboot 2.47... If it is, use firewater tool. Will s-off and unlock in one fell swoop.

Apparently someone just tried it and it didn't work, so they might have just blocked it. I hope this isn't the case, but it might be.

I received my phone this morning and get and CID error when trying to unlock it on the htcdev site. There is a fake CID method for some other htc phones but I am afraid to try it.
Can someone who has successfully done this post exactly what they did to get it to work on the htcdev site? I'll be pissed if it's blocked now.

According to Paul O'brien (who from what I understand is a pretty solid source) AT&T has locked down the One's bootloader, like it did with the One X. Apparently that turned out to be a huge mess. Was totally planning on getting this, now I'm strongly reconsidering...

I've been on the One X forums from just about the start, and I'm not sure I would call it a "huge mess". A bootloader unlock method was discovered and posted by an XDA dev a little over 2 weeks after the device was released.
What turned out to be a bit more of a mess, is that root was needed to get the bootloader unlock, and HTC kept patching the existing root exploit with every firmware update.
This is indeed disappointing. But I won't believe it 100% until the phone is actually released, and people try to unlock the bootloader. Even then, the phone will be a popular one, and I have faith that the devs here will crack it.

Really though, the amount of modders who need SOFF to do what they want is like less than 5% of the mod community. Root typically handles most issues. Unlocked bootloader is just that barrier above root.
Though, I'm kind of mad that HTC isn't sticking it to ATT on this and telling them to bugger off. Tmobiles is unlocked...

If I read correctly, someone stated that the cid partition was write protected on the one
So since supercid was how we unlocked the boot loader it may be a bit more difficult on the one

I don't know much about the typical bootloader unlocking methods, but saw this recent article about unlocking newer Qualcomm-based Motorola phones. Not that this method will work on the AT&T One, but hopefully a similar method can be found if none of the current tricks work.

My comment had to do more with informing the previous poster what actually happened on the One X (that he seemed to mostly only know about 2nd hand), rather than speculating on what HTC has done on this upcoming phone. As we know, HTC is a tricky bugger, and I won't even begin to try to guess what security enhancements they have up their sleeve this time around!

You can root, install custom recovery, and flash custom ROMs with an unlocked bootloader.
S-off allows some other things, such as modding hboot, and flashing radios. But its not needed for flashing custom ROMs.
you can already unlock the bootloader+root etc..

Aha! gotcha, Well. I tried to order the Dev edition but it got out of stock.. so i have no choice but to get one from ATT and hope for the best : D
Yeah you can flash roms etc..
But who wants to manually flash the kernel every time you want to update a rom?
I would like to just put my rom on my phone and flash it. Simple as that
Regardless this is XDA and i trust the devs here will do something to get AT&T users rooted.
mine will be going back so fast if its not unlockable
Sprint and tmobile versions are unlockable
There is no surprise about ATT locking the boot loader. Why do you think HTC is selling a developer edition that is using ATT bands. They solved it because there are a few of us who root our phones etc. Most people who buy phones don't do any of this XDA stuff
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I see it this way, with the $100 rebate and the HDMI device I am getting from HTC and ATT the one will be pretty much free. I am switching from Sprint which I had originally switched to with hopes of buying the Nexus 4. Since they stopped doing Nexus on CDMA this is my move back. The One will turn into a backup phone and the next Nexus will become my main. If a Nexus doesn't come out in the next 4 months I'll just buy a Nexus 4 for now. I'll just never do OTAs on the One until a root is found or just sell the thing when I get a Nexus.
Btw, who is this Steven Bell guy? Does he have an HTC One from ATT that he tried to unlock?
Im glad i got the dev edition. I canceled ATT pre order day after i ordered. My Dev edition says backorder now but says shipment scheduled Tomorrow the 10th.
Either some lazy people here.. Or trolls.. It only takes an additional few seconds to flash a kernel if you need it. Those few seconds certainly wouldn't keep me from owning this device. This phone looks like it'll have a lot of Dev presence. S-off might not be far off. :victory:
I dont know who Steve bell is (guy paul obrien quoted) And how he would know The ATT is locked since its not out yet. I guess he's credible somewhat if Paul is repeating it.
Hmmm....im really starting to second guess this phone....im confused why att locks down HTC phones but not other android phones like Samsung? Sorry really new to HTC phones....

I have an HTC DNA softwafe version 2.04.605.2 710 RD and I was just notified of a new software update 2.06.605.1 710RD.
Here is the official documentation from Verizon:
"Improvements have been made to sim card detection".
I haven't had any problems with my DNA so far so I'm not sure if this would be a fix for other people. Also I'm not sure how this would affect current root status or if there's any hidden updates besides the one Verizon listed.
I'm not rooted so I'm trying to get it downloaded and off my device to upload to the devs but no luck yet. I have the SIM card issues so I'm fine with eventually installing, but I don't want to loose the chance to download the file first.
Here is the OTA for whoever wants it. Its not rooted. Its straight from the download (NOTHING DONE TO IT) https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3OJJDTvOy8vdkhZVWpVRWlJMzA/edit?usp=sharing
Can you upload it somewhere else, I don't want to have to register with 4shared to download it.

Security holes such as signature check typos, unintended memory access, or workarounds to getting certain write functions working where they aren't supposed to are our "exploits." The updates need to be thoroughly analyzed for security holes if they are to be used for exploits.
Think twist brought up a good point though. People that don't really need the update should hold off I guess I'm stating the obvious but if some exploit was found and us stuck on ota before the new one was received could install some sort of modified one if these guys found and holes in this.

I am debating similar question too, trying to decide which of the following I should flash/wait to flash
1. Developer Edition (support by HTC directly, but so far stuck on 4.12)
2. International Stock Rom (support by HTC directly, has 4.22, not sure if OTA will work even with SuperCID or correct CID since we are in US?)
3. Nexus Edition (support by Google, which means updates will be fast and furious, but no Sense 5)
I know SuperCID will let you whatever rom you want, but will OTA work with superCID? or we need to set CID to match the rom for OTA to work?
S-Off'd and successfully RUU'd the Developer Edition on my AT&T One!

Has anyone noticed any issued with the dev edition rom running on at&t or is it all in my head? I feel like my reception is weaker (at least it shows weaker) Do they run a different algorithm for service than at&t?
Go to settings and look at signal strength. Bars lie..
For those that dont know jcase and beaups have rooted the new Verizon HTC M8 and found that the vuln and exploit also works on Verizon HTC One 4.4.2. This means it likely will work on the Verizon HTC Max for 4.4.2. *I believe* beaups is working on rolling the root exploit into rumrunner to soff the M8 (and by luck the One on 4.4.2). So at a minimun us Verizon Max owners should be comfortable updating to 4.4.2 and more importantly new buyers of the Verizon Max (and hopefully other versions) will have an available soff and root.
