trying to unlock bootloader before I root, however the htcdev site is giving me an error. MID not allowed, error 160. I am 100% sure I copied the token and followed their instructions 100%. Using Verizon HTC one Max version
Okay with some searching, it seems verizon can't unlock via htcdev. I have to use runrunner. However it also gives me issues. Im running from the same location I would run the fastboot, however im getting an error here too.
USB Debugging is on, im in fastboot mode Bootloader screen on the phone.
Says debugging on? Drivers? no adb connection to device
But I have both of these installed...
If I'm not mistaking the Verizon variant can be unlocked via rumrunner. Check the Rumrunner thread to make sure.

Use rumrunner dont use htcdev. Go to android development. Its not that hard if you follow the directions. Im new to the htc world. I have owned samsung galaxy devices up untill about 1 week ago. Good luck. Remeber read read and re read.

read my last post. RumRunner doesn't work with latest 4.3 Verizon HTC One Maxes. Neither does Firewater. Only 4.2 And you can't downgrade to 4.2. It will brick your device.

how did you get runrummer to work? It went through all the the steps, then when it got to the end, said device isn't rooted. How did you get around that?
Not to be rude. Im sure it will work. You might need to read again and write down the steps on paper thats what i had to do. Also go to android development and those guys will help you thats what i had to do.

There are no actual steps besides things you need anyway.
Drivers..HTC Sync uninstalled. USB Debugging and no lock screen. Run program.
But it is trying to S-off but it can't because its not rooted..and its not rooted because its locked. There is no guide that shows how to unlock with rumrunner.

I have the VZW One Max I played with firewater on mac and firewater & rumrunner on linux ubuntu 32&64 bit and linux mint to no avail. Then I tried rumrunner on windows and was all done in 15 minutes.

Worked for me as far as I can tell. My device says S-ON but above that says 'UNLOCKED' and I was able to flash the CWR 5 recovery image and use that as posted earlier in this thread.
The worst nightmare was getting my computer to recognize the phone. I had recently put a new hard drive in my computer, and HTC Sync etc would NOT work. I tried TWO other computers and still would not work. Finally had to dig up the old hard drive, put it back in my first computer (since I had used that successfully to update my Slide in the first place to Froyo 2.2) and do all the steps.
Still can't explain what the problem was, since the new hard drive is the same base OS (Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit) but at least it worked. And now this phone has some life again (despite a failure to replace a cracked digitizer)

You can't S-OFF with the new bootloaders. But at least with your bootloader unlocked, you can do some of the things an S-OFF'd phone can (like flashing CWM Recovery and r/w in /system/), so it's still fairly useful.
I have done a foolish work hence my phone not running beyond the boot screen htc logo. rebooting there itself.
As i was unable to flash the OTApkg.zip, i tried fastboot method. There i stuck with the signature error.
With curiosity i opened the OTApkg.zip and found firmware zip there. I flashed the firmware zip. it went fine in fastboot mode.
(fastboot oem rebootRUU, fastboot flash zip firmware.zip).
after this my phone status as below.

You may be out of luck, due to the process you decided to do.
But out of curiosity, have you tried selecting apply from phone storage?
I don't recall if the stock recovery looks there for the emulated sd/internal storage files or not.
It may be that is the case and it's looking for a physical sd card when you select sd card from the menu.
If that isn't the case or doesn't help, I'm sorry.
Just thought it's worth trying if you haven't.

You still have fastboot working, which is all you need for that. Just use the latest ruu posted there and follow the instructions. That should at least get you a usable phone.
After that, if you want to unlock it use firewater s-off. I haven't used it, so I couldn't walk you through it, but the instructions are on the website.

Same problem here but on a Windows 7 machine. USB debugging enable, most recent windows drivers installed, uninstalled and re-installed. No matter what I do, ADB does not see my phone. Really frustrating because it has worked on this same computer previously before the Kit Kat update.
I can't get this to work. I am S-OFF from old OTA soff method, took the latest OTA now I am relocked and SOFF, but not able to flash any recovery due to relocked status. I can't unlock.
I tired weaksauce method and it says already rooted, but its not. I reset the phone to try again with no luck.
I tried to change the CID and that didnt work.
Tried to run earlier RUU and won't let me. Is there a PH98IMG of the latest OTA?

I can not gain root access S-off on my replacement phone Verizon sent me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If i have not included enough information my apologies as I normally figure these things out and have not had to post before. If this is not an appropriate thread to post in please redirect me. Also my boot loader is throwing tampered flag but is still locked S-on.
Sweet....Worked here too. Two things for anyone having issues....When you install SuperSU, you don't need to run it. It'll say installation failed if you do, but that's nothing to worry about. Second, after you do the adb reboot, wait 1-2 minutes after the reboot completes before you run the next command. You need to give time for temp root to be regranted.
Time to unlock the bootloader...
---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------
Ok, so something else. After doing the above, if you run SuperSu it will tell you that you need to update your su binary and recommends you use TWRP to do it. So I cancelled out and installed Rom Installer from the play store and used it to flash TWRP 2.7.1. Then rebooted (not sure if necessary), then reran SuperSU. This time when it prompted me I told it to go ahead and update itself using TWRP. It did just that and all is good now.
Works Like Greased Lightning!!
Thanks SOOOOOO Much for providing this guide for S-Off for all of us who (stupidly) Allowed VZW to push the 4.4 Update to our Droid DNA's!!
This worked So easily, the Very First time! Follow both the weaksauce Guide and the firewater Guide EXPLICITLY and you will have no problems at all! Thanks to all of the devs who made this possible!

pack up your recovery image with an android info text document.
use fastboot/ruu mode to install the recovery zip file.
if you really want to use htcdev,you can also change your cid. if 11111111 or 22222222 dont work,try 33333333 or HTC__001(just remember to change it back when youre done)
Ok well i figured out my problem

I hope this helps. I had to uninstall all updates for tunein radio after that i still could not get supersu to down load the binaries so i installed superuser instead and it worked just fine. By no means am i saying this is the correct way to do it i am just telling you what worked for me.
s off firmware 3.06.605.4
can the above said firmware device be s offed??
ps: im new to xda
thanks for sharing this info. Now im s-off on Android 4.4.2, however... is it possible to flash custom ROMs wiha locked bootloader? that's all i want, otherwise ill just sell the phone and buy a Nexus 5.
Has anyone been able to root the 4.4.2 ota update on the dna?
You are unlocked and s-off, just flash a custom recovery of your choice and flash the supersu zip

Have you tried Uzephi's suggestion?

Do a google search for firewater s-off HTC.
I just got a DNA, it is stock with 4.4.2. I was able to temp root and s-off with the firewater method. Follow these instructions to the letter (type your adb commands as they appear on the instructions..if it looks like a space in between letters then it is a space) Also, follow the Weaksauce method on Firewaters page. It is the second set of instructions.
Make sure firewater is in your adb directory too and you should have no problem.
Now I need to flash a custom recovery and install a stock rooted rom
I posted this in the rumrunner thread but also wanted to post here too to make sure you guys see it that are having problems getting s-off with the stock 4.4.2.
I just got s-off using weaksauce+firewater. I think it was the cables that prevented me from getting it to work before. I was using the cable that came with the phone and the one that came with my rezound and they didn't work. So I decided to get all the cables I have and try all of them to see if by chance it would work, and the first cable I tried worked like a charm. So don't give up guys, keep trying until it works because it does with 4.4.2 stock.
Need help not sure what is wrong
I am thinking about re-flashing using RUU but not sure that would help. I can not gain root access S-off on my replacement phone Verizon sent me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm interested to know how to root the DNA as i am on stock 4.4.2
Coming from a 4.4.2 Moto x where the only root was to temporary through adb commands, where root is disabled on reboot.
Is the DNA method the same? root disabled on reboot?

Not sure why but after reverting to an older version of tune in radio and clearing the cache the weak sauce work around started working. But i cannot update the binaries on supersu. when i open supersu two pop ups come on top the first i haven't been able to read and the second is to update binaries it fails the update however and says reboot and try again i have tried several times to correct this with no succes help would be greatly appreciated because at this time i am seriously contemplating destroying this phone and calming insurance. I think Iwould rather have no phone then a stock phone.
I have packaged up the last two official RUUs into exe form for use on the DNA. I have tested these on my own DNA. They will work with locked/s-on phones.
DO NOT LOCK OR S-ON for the purpose of flashing these. It's not necessary.
Below you will find both 4.09.605.1 and 4.09.605.5
Intructions:
Extract to folder. Double click ARUwizard.exe. Follow prompts. When complete phone will reboot. If attempting on a non bootable phone connect the phone in fastboot mode.

These ones are great too because they don't phone home and they don't care what custom rom you had been on. We had a problem for a while on htc phones that didn't have external SD cards failing signature checks when flashing via fastboot.. With these that problem is no more.
I have a couple of questions.;
1) does it matter what firmware you are on to flash any of these 2 firmwares?
2) if I wanted to RUU to complete 100% stock, I can use either of these?
3) Can I flash these if I am currently using a modified hboot?
4) will my deivce stay S-OFF after flashing either of these?
50 Will my HBOOT stay Unlocked after flashing either of these?
Thanks....

1)Firmware version depends. If you want the latest one and you are not current on firmware I would suggest flashing the hboot separately.
2) yes either will do. Either will also flash on a locked and s-on phone as well.
3)there's a good chance your hboot will get over-written with a stock one. Are you aware of what can happen if you ever try to s on using a modified boot?
4+5) these will not affect your unlock or s status.

my main concern was if I could use your RUU to flash my DNA. I could care less whether it overrides my current hboot, as long as it does not during the flashing process lock and s-on my device
thanks for your reply....
This will not make a connection to my Device. However, ADB and Fastboot works, but this RUU/FUU still gives an error....

I have tried from the Android Homescreen, ADB, Fastboot, and from the RebootRUU downloader/installer. Neither of those work. I have also tried usb 2 and 3 ports. I have tried with and without usb debugging enabled. HTC Sync loads the the device without issues.

Thank you So Much to the person(s) that made this possible, I've been patiently waiting for this fix and it finally paid off - I can confirm that this 100% works - I had previously all but bricked my phone, it was Re-Locked and S-On along with Tampered - I could only get Hboot to come on and Fastboot. Now it has been completely restored to stock firmware - It still says RELOCKED when in hboot mode but I'm ok with that -

no, it reboots everytime to the RUU Downloader/Installer on the phone but then gives that error after trying to send the first packet. It never gets past the "Updating 0 of 5" . As I posted. i am running stock rooted 4.4.2/Sense 5.5. I was just wanting to test this ruu out and give feed back.

When it gets to the ruu mode it starts a 60 second time out. Quickly unplug the phone and reconnect it to another port.

How long did you leave it sitting? Until it timed out? Also, open task manager and tell me how much free ram you have.

yes, until it timed out approximately 3-5mins. i tried what you recommended but it did not work. I have a custom built win 8 x64 with 16gb of ram. trust me, im not using even a 1/3 of that, lol

Try running the app in windows 7 compatibility mode and as admin.
You would be surprised what an x64 system can consume. To send the ruu over usb the system has to have enough free ram for the 1.x gig file to fit in the free ram.
