[Q] AT&T HTC One 4.4.2 S-OFF - AT&T HTC One (M7)

OK I've googled and and searched on here and I cant find a straight yes or no answer. I'm thinking about getting an AT&T HTC One and I want to convert it to a google edition. Can I S-OFF the new 1.56 hboot that comes iwth the 4.4.2 update? And if so, can someone provide me instructions or a link. Thanks

Im trading for it and its already been upgraded. Thanks for the answer.

Both rumrunner and firewater should be able to do HBOOT 1.56. I didn't have success with rumrunner but it might of just been my computer. However I was able to get firewater to work with HBOOT 1.56 fine. It did take several attempts though. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't work. Restart the phone then try again. You only have to load it to the phone once. Repeat attempts just involve opening adb shell again then running firewater as root.
P.S. - An added note. For me when I got finished with firewater it seemed to have removed tampered flag for me.

Ok so I got the boot loader unlocked and I got a custom recovery installed and I rooted it tried to run rumrunner and I get the "pouring" part but it just keeps doing it any ideas I tried firewater but it wouldn't load the file onto the phone

a bad download, maybe? you try redownloading the files?
Right-click on the file you downloaded and extract it to your desktop or somewhere else you can find it. Then go to the file you extracted, right-click on it and select to run as administrator. Also make sure you're connected to a USB 2.0 port.

I'm running the windows version. And yes its the right version. I dropped the sh. File Into my windows moonshine folder and I got all the way to test 3. But hit a battery to low error. So I'm a charge it and try again. Maybe it may work. Not sure yet.

[Guide] S-OFF / Root.Your HTC One Max

While rooting / SOFFing my One Max, I had to look all around to find all the parts. I wanted to create a guide so other people could get it faster / easier than I could .
This is for the Sprint HTC One Max, not sure how other devices will react. rumrunner is for more than just the Sprint version though.
I TAKE NO CREDIT. IM JUST PUTTING A GUIDE TOGETHER. ALL CREDIT GOES TO PEOPLE WHOM MADE THIS HAPPEN.
Credit: (In no order) Please donate to them! They deserve it.
rumrunner: SOFF program.
scotty1223: Unlocking/removing tampered flag
Flyhalf205: Custom recoveries
carl1961: Unsecure kernel
HTC for an awesome phone
If I forgot anyone, let me know! Everyone that made this happen is awesome!
DISCLAIMER: IT IS NOT MY FAULT IF YOUR PHONE YELLS AT YOU AND RUNS AWAY BECAUSE YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG.
Step One: Unlock your bootloader at htcdev.com. Create an account and follow their instructions. When it asks you for your device put "all other support devices"
Step Two: Make sure your ADB/Fastboot prompts are working. Here's how we check that:
a. Make sure USB debugging is on.
b. Plug in your phone, then open your adb prompt.
c. Issue the command adb devices. If your serial number is shown, adb is working.
d. While still in the adb prompt, issue the command adb reboot bootloader. Your phone will reboot in to your bootloader
e. Now issue the command fastboot devices. If your serial number is shown, fastboot is working.
f. Reboot your device so it's on and fully boot up. It's time to get set up!
Step Three, Getting all the files needed on your craptop. (Computer, just kidding)
a. Download your choice of recovery from flyhalf205's thread (TWRP didn't play nice with my phone, so I used CWM, but your results my vary).
CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498749
TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498746
b.Then download this superuser.zip. :http://www.mediafire.com/download/v27kh5nkpo3nfum/superuser.zip Place it on your phone somewhere.
c. Then download rumrunner from beaups' thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525375
d. Then download carl1961's unsecure kernel : http://www.mediafire.com/download/rrfelsllgomrpix/Sprint_One_Max_1.16.651.4_Unsecure_kernel.zip
Step Four: Lets do this thing!
a. First, we flash a custom recovery. Place the recovery you downloaded from flyhalf205 into the same directory as your adb/fastboot stuff.
b. Plug in your phone, issue the command adb devices just to make sure there is a connection. (can never be too careful now.)
c. If all is good and a serial number is shown, issue the command adb reboot bootloader.
d. You should see a string of words on your phone's bootloader saying "fastboot usb". Issue the command fastboot flash recovery "NAME OF RECOVERYFILEHERE".img. If all goes well. You now have a custom recovery, woop!
BOOT INTO THE RECOVERY AND MAKE A NAND. NOT OPTIONAL.
While in recovery, go ahead and flash the superuser.zip as you would do any other zip.
e. Now open the kernel and extract the boot.img file, place it in the adb/fastboot place.
f. Boot back into the bootloader, and make sure you're in fastboot. Issue the command fastboot flash boot boot.img. If all is well, the unsecure kernel is now on your phone! Now delete the boot.img from that directory (It'll mess with rumrunner).
g. Unzip the rumrunner contents into the adb/fastboot directory and run the soju.exe. Follow the prompt. If all goes well, you should now have an SOFF television in your hand .
HOW-TO Re-enable your fingerprint scanner!
You have to relock (after SOFFing it) the bootloader.
All credit goes to scotty1223.
a. Follow this OP to lock your bootloader. : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540004
b. Follow this OP to remove the tampered flag on your bootloader : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540024
I tested all of this on my own Sprint HTC One Max, and it has all worked with no side effects. After relocking and removing the tampered flag my fingerprint reader was 100% working again.
I'll help if I can. Have fun everyone!
If I can recommend rumrunner first **for Verizon versions** which soff, unlocks bootloader (vice htcdev) , installs unsecure kernel and roots. Htcdev unlock voids warranties for some carriers. Then install recovery of choice.
Lastly I would insert a line to remind everyone to donate to the devs for countless hours put in.
EDITED for versions
Any issues with fingerprint scanner
Thanks PUNK9 for putting this guide together!! Thanks to the devs for their hard work!!
I've had my One Max for 2 weeks and I must root it!!!
I read that unlocking the One Max caused issues with the fingerprint scanner. Is this your experience?
Also, I am a fan of TWRP. What issues did you expereince that caused you to go to CWM.
Thanks,
Gary

TWRP would go on the "swipe to unlock" screen I wasn't able to swipe it. So I used the classic version of CWM.

Finally done and S-OFF. How do I go 'bout fingerprint again???
I was unable to use htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader. I am with Verizon, perhaps thats the issue, not sure. The error I received
Error Code: 160.
Error Reason: MID Not Allowed
Tried using rumrunner and of course that failed due to the fact the bootloader is still locked and there is no unsecure kernel.
Am I missing something?

e. Now issue the command fastboot devices. If your serial number is shown, fastboot is working.
f. Reboot your device so it's on and fully boot up. It's time to get set up!
Step Three, Getting all the files needed on your craptop. (Computer, just kidding)
a. Download your choice of recovery from flyhalf205's thread (TWRP didn't play nice with my phone, so I used CWM, but your results my vary).
CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498749
TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498746
b.Then download this superuser.zip. :http://www.mediafire.com/download/v27kh5nkpo3nfum/superuser.zip Place it on your phone somewhere.
c. Then download rumrunner from beaups' thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525375
d. Then download carl1961's unsecure kernel : http://www.mediafire.com/download/rrfelsllgomrpix/Sprint_One_Max_1.16.651.4_Unsecure_kernel.zip
Step Four: Lets do this thing!
a. First, we flash a custom recovery. Place the recovery you downloaded from flyhalf205 into the same directory as your adb/fastboot stuff.
b. Plug in your phone, issue the command adb devices just to make sure there is a connection. (can never be too careful now.)
c. If all is good and a serial number is shown, issue the command adb reboot bootloader.
d. You should see a string of words on your phone's bootloader saying "fastboot usb". Issue the command fastboot flash recovery "NAME OF RECOVERYFILEHERE".img. If all goes well. You now have a custom recovery, woop!
BOOT INTO THE RECOVERY AND MAKE A NAND. NOT OPTIONAL.
While in recovery, go ahead and flash the superuser.zip as you would do any other zip.
e. Now open the kernel and extract the boot.img file, place it in the adb/fastboot place.
f. Boot back into the bootloader, and make sure you're in fastboot. Issue the command fastboot flash boot boot.img. If all is well, the unsecure kernel is now on your phone! Now delete the boot.img from that directory (It'll mess with rumrunner).
g. Unzip the rumrunner contents into the adb/fastboot directory and run the soju.exe. Follow the prompt. If all goes well, you should now have an SOFF television in your hand .
HOW-TO Re-enable your fingerprint scanner!
You have to relock (after SOFFing it) the bootloader.
All credit goes to scotty1223.
a. Follow this OP to lock your bootloader. : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540004
b. Follow this OP to remove the tampered flag on your bootloader : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540024
I tested all of this on my own Sprint HTC One Max, and it has all worked with no side effects. After relocking and removing the tampered flag my fingerprint reader was 100% working again.
I'll help if I can. Have fun everyone!

If this helps anyone out there. I think unplugging device from USB while rumrunner states it is "Waiting for adb" is probably a good idea. Then plug it back in once the device is fully booted and off the security screen.
This was found on a post somewhere on these forums. Guess its worth a try, i will let everyone know the results!
Everyone having issues with rumrunner should make sure they have plugged in their phone into their computer with AND without adb debugging enabled AND in fastboot to make sure all drivers are set up properly before rumrunner.
Having said that beaups himself said the device driver error is normal.

I was unable to use htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader. I am with Verizon, perhaps thats the issue, not sure. The error I received
Error Code: 160.
Error Reason: MID Not Allowed
Tried using rumrunner and of course that failed due to the fact the bootloader is still locked and there is no unsecure kernel.
Am I missing something?

As my second post says rumrunner does EVERYHTING for verizon versions. You have now flashed something non verizon to your phone (kernel) so likely it will have prpblems . You are lucky you are not screwed permanently. However you may have to wait until a dev creates a flashable verizon unsecure kernel. Im not sure what direction to tell you to go...

If you take the phone back to an ATT store for an exchange or to have them fix it, you don't have to return it to stock. they don't check and they don't care. The only time you need to return it to stock is if you are having to send it back to HTC. If at all possible deal with ATT as they will most of the time just hand you a new one while HTC will give you a refurb. You won't get your original back from HTC.

As it is showing your device ID in fastboot mode, your phone is properly connected in fastboot mode. Does the screen say FASTBOOT USB? If yes, you can run RUU.exe file.
Yes it does and can run the ruu.... My issue know is how come adb says device offline with stock rooted Rom but with venom Rom it's connected but doesn't grant root when asked to through adb

2.) flash a different rom.

Rumrunner works with my Desire X
I haved hboot 1.25.02
Andorid 4.1
Custom ROM 1.10.401.4 or 2.20.401.4 (I´m not sure)
I don´t know what´s can happen with lower hboot version or Adroid, you could brick your phone.
For sure your Desire x must be rooted and custom ROM.

If you mean really stable, try any of the Sense ROMs, there are all pretty stable (the Sense 4 ones are most stable). If you want to have CM, you can try that as well, but it isn't stable yet and currently being worked on, so I would wait for that (you can always try one of the custom ROMs based on CM (PA, AOKP or MIUI) of you want, but do it on your own risk...)
When you start rumrunner should allow rights superSU, when I dismissed them automatically so ask them to always ... Sorry for my bad english :/

Cannot S-Off

I tried to do Firewater, cant because I tried to do adb reboot, gave me a error. Looked up adb devices, says there is no devices. USB debugging is ON. I updated my drivers, nothing. Am I missing something? I even adb kill-server and adb start-server, made no difference.
I wouldnt mind purchasing SunShine, but would like to see if I can get this to work. SunShine says it will work, but I have to pay $25, so obviuosly, if I can get the free version of firewater to work, that would be great.
**Edit** now it gets stuck when I try pushing the file.
**Edit** I just moved the file over to the directory manually, used SU to chomd the file for 755 in a terminal emulator, bypassing the need for abd, then ran the file in a emulator. Firewater will not work for my device. It did run normally however, it just says the "welp, this sucks, firewater will not work for your device". Time for SunShine when I get the money since its pre-install scan said its compatable.

In the battery manager? Yeah, I turned that off. I can see my device momentairily, then when I go to push a file over to my device, it just freezes. I left it to see if it took awhile, gave up after 5 minutes (shouldnt take that long for a 5MB file...) and then did adb devices to find out that it dissapeared from the list while trying to trasnfer.
I am the biggest idiot ever, I thought adb had to be run in fastboot usb for some reason. DERP...

SkyDragon rom. Says you can do it s-on, but I assume it's only for GPE M8's (or at least att converted over to GPE) because 4.4.4 is a must. I'm on 4.4.2, so I have to use the S-off method unless there is a 4.4.4 RUU for att devices.
Well there's a RUU for GPE 4.4.4...it's 2.12.1700.1 hosted on graffixnyc.com....it's best to s-off, if you have 25 bucks just use sunshine.

I did the full GPE conversion just the other day and it involved the 4.4.3 ruu so I could accept the official OTA ,
Took the OTA on my (at&t) HTC ONE M8
Keep in mind I followed to the letter all steps including changing "cid" and "mid"

Choose the 4.4.4 file but it's still a must to have S-off cause you want to have matching "cid" "mid"
