I am so serious about this I have been sitting here for 3 hours trying to find a way to unlock the bootloader without code, or terminal, or other stuff a non-coder would know. I have read about moonshine and some jcase exploit a bunch of other ones I forgot the names of. Windroid looked good but cant download and doesn't work on windows 8.1 or software 2.something
Mines is sadly still on 4.1.1 with software number 2.06 (whatever that is)
At this point all I am looking for is a way to unlock with one click or a way that won't have a ultra high risk of bricking my device if something as simple as a space or comma is left out of whatever it is. I'm not a noob at android or any other os but whatever hacking or software edits I've done never involved command terminal.
If there is no easy way to unlock the bootloader, I am going back to Samsung after being a Samsung person for 4 years, I never had to do this and I've gotten so use to installing custom roms I can't live without doing it....
Help

Rumrunner is what you want, good luck with 8.1, it does not like HTC drivers. There are several threads about both topics.
Use rumrunner.
It is rare to brick your device with it, and the good thing is you can always start over and get it working.
As far as command line knowledge, I have none, but the devs have put everything you need on "paper". Just copy and paste.
I'm not sure why you're doubting yourself or want a one-click method. First, I have no command line knowledge and have done a bunch of things as long as I follow the dev's instructions. Two, the only truely bricked DNAs I've seen ended up being hardware related.
So unlock that sucker and report back with your success. Use a Win7 computer.
There is a newer, more simple method to unlock the bootloader. 2 files, quick and easy.
Firewater S-OFF
No luck with any of these because I have a windows 8.1 laptop. I tried installing the windows 8 drivers and it still didn't detect fastboot. I went to the library to try their windows XP computers. Can't install hardware so that's a no. Is there any way to do it on windows 8 because I don't know anyone that doesnt have windows 8 willing to let me install a driver on their computer for this.

I tried and tried and have had 0 luck with any adb drivers on Windows 8 or 8.1. You will need to use windows 7 or prior. Find an hold hard drive, throw 7 on it, and there ya go. Or find a friend, work, anyone that has windows 7 and ask to use their computer for an hour.

You should just download the exploit unzip it and extract it to a folder on the desktop. Then hook your phone up follow directions and run the exe that contains the exploit and you should be done when it completes. It doesn't get any easier than a one click method.

Hi All;
Coming to this phone from a Sprint Epic Touch 4G; i have a lot of experience flashing phones over the years, and very excited about upgrading to this beast!
Anyways, I am in an all OSX house, so no Odin for this phone; Rooting my ET4G was a breeze using Heimdall, and a rooted stock kernel with CWM.
Has anyone rooted this phone is the same manner? If so, what rooted kernel with CWM did you flash in Heimdall?
Thanks so much, and I am looking forward to being a helpful member of these threads!
I use vm ware fusion. Using my windows 7, Odin, it took all of 5 mins. Now on HTC phones I had to use a real PC because the phone had to reboot and finish. This my second Samsung and it's way earlier.
well, I am on Lion 10.7.2, and vm ware fusion isn't really reliable on my machine; heimdall is so easy and fast, and works natively in OSX, and I've used it dozens of times on my E4GT; I assume it would work the same on this phone, since they are such similar phones..I just want to make sure..

thanks man; I am trying to avoid going the parallels/vmware route; heimdall was super easy on my other Sammy phone; I am just hoping someone can confirm they used it on this guy; also, I have to find a rooted kernel for this phone, so I can extract the zimage to use..
I appreciate the offer!
just an update; I tried to root today with heimdall, using the same exact procedure that I did with my Sammy E4gt, and its a no go; heimdall won't work on the Note, as of now...hope someone can figure out a pure OSX method of rooting this bad boy..
If you're desperate to root, try rooting the old fashioned way using adb. I believe adb would still work on MAC right? If so use adb to get root, then install clockwork recovery and from there you should be able to flash the ROM/kernel if your choice

After you install Android SDK the directions on the HTCdev site tell you to run sdk manager and download the Android SDK Tools and Android SDK Platfrom-tools. What I did was to take this a step further and also install the Google USB Driver which is listed in ADB Manager under Extras and also the API's for GB and ICS. The API's really aren't necessary but I don't think ADB will recognize the phone without the Google USB Drivers.

This may not work for you, but one time my drivers weren't working because I plugged my phone into a USB 3.0 port, so when I used a USB 2.0 port, it worked fine.
Back in March I was rooted, running a cool sense 5 based custom ROM and happy. But the phone had other ideas. It stopped recognizing the SIM card and the replacement phone Verizon sent was on the latest firmware which we couldn't hack. I couldn't deal with the stock configuration after having the custom ROM so I binned the phone and went back to my old GS3 hoping to someday be able to go back to the DNA.
If I understand things correctly, that day has come and we can root the current firmware equipped phones.....Correct? I've read thru a number of posts and all it has done is left me confused and hesitant to give it a shot.
Can someone help me out with the correct steps, methods and procedures to root my stock, S-on DNA running the latest OTA firmware (2.06)? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Ok, gave it a shot with the windows version and didn't succeed. Followed the instructions and definitely made sure there was no trace of HTC Sync on the computer. When I run the Distiller.exe file, everything seems to run OK for test 1 (rebooting into bootloader) and test 2 (booting device) were the phone reboots like normal. Then the script says rebooting into bootloader (again) and sits there waiting for fastboot. It times out after 60 seconds and says connection failed. usb connection error.
Any ideas on were to go from here?

Googled HTC fastboot driver and it looks like I need HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe . If I google HTC android drivers I can find another file HTCDriver_4.2.0.001.exe. Tried them both on my home windows 7 machine with a USB2 port. Nothing changed. Same results.
So I tried the window XP computer at my office that I originally used to root the old DNA. Got a little further this time. I get a message that temproot has failed. I also get a lot of stuff going on with "other devices" drivers when I watch my device manager. Is this normal during the process?

Ok temproot failing means factory reset time. You should be good after that.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 4 Beta
That did the trick!! Factory reset and the older XP machine. God, how much I missed the custom roms for this phone. It totally transforms the device.
As for the Moonshine process, like I said, it worked for me but I did run into a few more speed bumps. Everytime the phone would reboot, I had to squash the HTCsync install. I guess it's something on the phone as I searched hi and low to find anything like it on the computer, with no luck. Anyhow, I would just cancel out everytime the message appeared on the screen. If I didn't cancel out, the moonshine script would time out and fail.
Just wanted to follow up on this in case someone else has similar issues.
Thanks again, guys!

I'm already rooted, but I started up the app as administrator connected the phone, refreshed in the About Phone tab, and lo and behold, it recoginized it. The only test I ran was to boot into the bootloader using the tool. No problems. Hope other tasks go just as well...

Since the time of my original post in this thread, I've now tried to use fastboot commands. No dice. This all-in-one is definitely not a panacea for Win8.1 users.
So I'd have to agree with other users in this thread: Use a Linux variant for your work on HTC phones. Adb and fastboot are line commands for Heaven's sake, so most tasks won't require one to learn and understand the ins and outs of Linux.
Good luck,

I have always been fascinated with smart phones , and operating systems, and would like to get to know how to dig into them. I know stock systems very well, and optimize every phone I get up to the stock allowance. Now I want to lift my limitations, and this is the perfect phone to do it with. so if yu could please kindly give me some advice on where to start,. I have been lurking these forums for quite some time, and I find it overwhelming, since I don't know a good starting point. I will continue reading/learning before I tap into this OS, but I just need to know basics, then I will begin to understand the framework..if I have this in the wrong section, im sorry, ill find it if you move it. if you can help , thanks in advance.

I suppose unlocking and S-off should be your starting point, if I understand the question correctly.
If your DNA is on the latest firmware 3.x.x then Rumrunner will get this done for you.
Then install a custom Recovery, ClockWorkMod (CWM) or TeamWinRecoveryProject (TWRP).
Back up your OE Rom by making Nandroid (done in recovery).
After that you can flash whatever ROM you choose.
I have 2 DNAs, on one I have ViperDNA 2.5.0 and on the other CyanogenMod 11.0 nightly.
Above all, have fun :good:
Thanks, Yes... that does answer my question. And I am on firmware 3. Android 4.2.2. Is there any specific advice you can give me to avoid any fatal errors?
btw. what lead me to create a this thread, was that I heard I need rumrunner , so I went to the website, DL the file. after extracting the file for my device, and executing soju.exe, when it ask if im aware of the implications or whatever "type yes or no" when I type yes, It just keeps asking me over and over lol. so I got no where. so I did some digging and found tons of different threads ,, some of which say use this file.... or that tool kit, or this program.... or that method, some that seem to no longer works etc. so it just confused me on what I need to do with my particular phone. 4.2.2 firmware 3 sense 5.0

When using Rumrunner you must follow the instructions EXACTLY.
Make sure your drivers are working properly.
Make sure your device is recognized by ADB and Fastboot.
Rumrunner assumes you have studied, and are familiar with ADB and Fastboot commands.
If not read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879701
Make sure your firewall and any anti virus are disabled.

Sounds like either your ADB or Fastboot are not working properly.
Fix them and you should be fine.

What os are you running? Like sdamark said it sounds like your drivers aren't installed properly.

I have Windows 8.1 on the computer I'm trying this on. I just read that might cause some problems. I'm going to try it on my Windows 7 laptop in a little bit and see if that helps

Windows 8.1 does not get along with the dna. It's best to use Windows 7

That's not entirely true. You have to disable driver signature enforcement in Windows 8.x then install the ADB driver. Microsoft doesn't want anyone unknowingly installing drivers by accident. They make it so that you know what you are doing and doing it on purpose.

Got it!
I did all the same things on my Windows 7 laptop and it worked perfectly the first time. It really was Windows 8.1 that was the problem. I'll be sure to follow that link and make sure all the rest of my drivers work in the future. Thanks.
