Help with HTC ONE max rooting and s-off. - HTC One Max

Hello, I previously had a HTC ONE m7 and understood it all In regards to rooting and s-off. It's just ideally I would hope to use the Firewater temp root to gain s-off and unlock boot loader that way instead of using htcdev. I have my htc one max on 4.3 still with hboot 2.47 I think it is. Can it be done has any one managed to do it this way? Also will my fingerprint scanner work doing it that way? And lastly while using my HTC ONE m7 there were simple guides ruu's etc to return to stock. How easy is it with the HTC ONE max? Thanks

Don't worry about RUU's for now and just get s-off before doing the software update, you might not be able to get s-off with later versions of bootloader.
All other processes are the same.

Temp root or perm root, does not make a big difference. so if you have full root already you can directly go ahead to do the actual s-off.
If i remember correctly i did s-off when there was no unsecure kernels/ROM's in the forum, do post your results we would be able to sort it out.

[Q] rooting without HTCDEV and unlocking bootloader

Is this possible and if so, can you point me to the right direction?

Depends on your hboot I guess. If you're on 1.22.651.1 and older, i guess you can use the method below

I am sure someone more knowledgeable can chime in and help you.
Pretty sure htcdev is the only route unless facepalm bypasses it . I haven't checked out that method. HTC dev works so why would anyone spent countless hours trying to gain root when a perfectly fine route exists.

Because I'm concerned about relocking my bootloader, if I use that method, and having it say LOCKED instead of RELOCKED.

My HBOOT is 2.09 and my software version is 3.16.651.3 710 RD. I guess I can't do it?
You will have to unlock and s-off in order for you to have the option of locking back to stock without the relock message.

Couple questions:
Do you s-off first and then root or root then s-off?
What guide did you use?

This guide is a great tool to follow. Basically, you'll need to use HTCDEV to unlock your bootloader, than use the DirtyRacun/BabyRacun to RUU back to 3.15 than you'll be able to get S-Off

Yes you need to be s-off in order to install firmware that does not match your CID or MID.

You need s-off if you are going to run a different carriers ruu if you want to run a custom rom from the international forum you can be s-on or s-off

I just went through this process and S-OFF is not enough, you also need to change your MID otherwise OTAs will fail. I will write something up soon on what I did to convert my ATT to International ROM.
Just got my One today, coming from an S-Off One X. Is getting S-Off deemed important on the One?
##Update##
Realized how easy it was to obtain S-Off compared to the HTC One X (which admittedly was pretty easy already) and went ahead and did it anyways
Honestly if you need to ask this type of question do not attempt it, just because its on here doesnt mean its a necessity...htc dev unlock the phone and flash a custom rom and be happy with that for now until youve read read and read some more....

S-off

I'm not new to rooting, I've rooted Samsung phones, Motorola and nexus. This is my first HTC phone and man is everything different. Could some one please explain to me what S-off is using dummy terms lol. I mean if I root but stay s-on can you still flash Roms?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Getting Soff can unlock you boot loader and if u do it through htc devs it unlocks your our boot loader but keeps Son but it's you use revone , it would unlock Son to soff and you are able to change CID and flash radios thru hboot but you can flash any rom that is compatible to the htc one but just unlocking the bootloader. You don't necessary need soff to flash Roma but it's good to have off thru if u want to return you phone back to the carrier and remove Tampered and return done back to stock !!!!

I'm not sure the last post was clear for a NOOB. S-On / Off refers to the security of the device. With S-On, the phone will only allow you to flash things built for your device. This prevents you from messing up the phone by flashing the wrong stuff or wrong area of the memory.
You can unlock your phone without S-Off, root it, and flash any ROMs you like, so long as they are for your particular phone model.

I am guessing it is for Tmobile?
I have that same version.
It disables revone or moonshine for working so essentially s-off.
I was able to still unlock the bootloader via HTCDev and root using TWRP and SuperSU.
Not really sure what s-off does, since I am able to load custom roms and etc. with current setup anyways....
....
S-off lets us convert to the full GPE version and get ota. I hope devs find a way of getting s-off on 531.11

s-off is security check off. it stops the bootloader from checking for signatures pretty much letting you flash Whatever aslong as the recovery accepts it. can also turn off the recoveries signature check but thats alot easier to do as the recovery alows you to do so freely.
And anyone wouldnt happen to know more info on this would they. as ive noticed sense i did the manual OTA update via HTC's site, regaining s-off is proving to be imensley didficult. "i s-on'd whiel debugging things and regret it lol"
From what I have been able to gather the updated 1.44 or 1.54 cannot be s-offed using revone or moonshine currently.
I'm pretty happy right now, all I care about is GPe 4.3 anyways. Running of 4.3 ROM, firmware, and radio with just unlocked boot loader

[Q] Downgrade to HBOOT 1.12 from 1.15?

Hi All.
I recently received a replacement phone from sprint. The phone is on:
hboot: 1.15
version: 1.22.651.3 710RD
Now, is there method to downgrade to hboot 1.12 without using htcdev.com to unlock bootloader?
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Why are you wanting to downgrade your bootloader?

Hi FinZ28,
thanks for your input. the reason why hboot 1.12 because as far as i know is the only one that can allow me to S-OFF without using the htc dev method, correct me if im wrong.
Now if there is a method to obtain S-off on 1.15 without using HTC DEV to unlock bootlader please let me know.
Thanks again.
The only way to downgrade is by using the toolkit in the link I posted previously, however, you must be HTC Dev unlocked to use it. To gain S-off you will need to unlock with HTC Dev & then gain S-off via Facepalm or Dirty Racun.
If you're wanting to downgrade for the purpose of using Lazy Panda, keep in mind that it's no longer supported and if you get in a tight spot trying to use it, you may have trouble getting help, particularly from Team Unlimited.
Also, I'm fairly certain that Lazy Panda required an unlocked bootloader. There is an exploit for the One that allows you to gain S-off without unlocking, but not for the EVO LTE.

Every S-OFF exploit for the Evo LTE requires you to be HTC-Dev unlocked

Nope you're wrong, if you have hboot 1.12 and you manage to get feedpanda / lazypanda you will be s-off without using HTC dev

Yeah I'm pretty much out of Luck since it seems impossible right now to revert without using HTC Dev. I guess is time to upgrade.
Thanks for your input guys, I appreciate it.
I dug up the Lazy Panda thread and yes, @torankusu was correct. Lazy Panda will work on a locked bootloader. I used it when I first got my phone over a year ago when it was still supported but I was already dev unlocked. Still, though, there is no way to downgrade to Hboot 1.12 without unlocking the bootloader.
