I will be getting mine tomorrow and will be rooting. I am looking at the guide stickied here to Download the SU and CWM..etc. Question about the bootloader first. It says go there..select all supported devices. However above it says all phones shipped after 9/11 will come unlocked. So can I skip this part and just get into the root?
I would suggest not using CWM but rather TWRP.

original question still stands though, does the HTC one Max come unlocked? or do I need to do that first step to unlock.
You have to unlock. I did it thru HTCDev then I rooted and then did Rum Runner to get s-off.

Unless I missed something rumrunner has always only bootloader unlocked the verizon model. You have to already be unlocked (htcdev) for other models.
Please keep the model difeferences in mind when you comment.

Your first comment leads everyone to believe rumrunner will *bootloader* unlock their phone. Only the verizon version is unlocked that way. He didnt mention what version he was on but when you make blanket statements like that people incorrectly assume it applies to all versions.

Hi all, just reporting that the bootloader of the Dinc4g is unlockable via htcdev.com. Hopefully will bode well for any would-be developers out there! Have a lovely day!
So, all we need is a custom recovery and we can flash SU correct?

Scroll all the way down to "All other supported models".
You can choose any phone you want to really. I chose Incredible (verizon) when i did mine.
yea just pick other, really only thing that matters is that unlock_bin code, once you have that, game on.

I'm using an unlocked AT&T HTC One X+, will I be able to get the new update when it is released? How do I do that when it comes out? The 4g icon is displayed even tho mobile network is off, is it still draining my battery?
That's all I ask.... Anyone, thank you.
When it comes out their will be custom Roms which is the easiest ticket.
If you are on another network than ATT then you will not receive it.

Ok. I made a 100% stock rom based on the touchwiz kitkat note 3 international leak. I need a couple people to test it for me because I don't have a developer edition device. Which is needed because of the updated kernel. Contact me at [email protected] on Hangouts. Warning retail owners do not message me because it won't work.

You will need to install the kernal. Which SS does not do. Even getting it running you would have lots of issues with a 4.3 kernal.

It worked for someone on the international form I believe that he wasn't on 4.4.2 already.
EDIT:NVM I'm pretty sure I'm wrong after doing some research. You have to flash the bootloader (but don't, bad idea) Carry on.

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.

I kinda doubt it since there's no way to unlock the bootloader on 4.3 maybe safestrap will get 4.4.2 support but besides that I highly doubt it.. but any developer out there in the process of unlocking either 4.3 or 4.4.2 correct me if I'm wrong. (Not being disrespectful but I think most of the developers have moved on or are working on roms for the unlocked)
