I HAVEN'T TRIED THIS MYSELF! Have anybody else tried and confirm it to work?
I don't think it works.... refer to the same blog http://www.handheldwar.com/htc/root-htc-desire-601-without-loosing-stock-rom/

Yeah, but i'm afraid to try it if someone say that it doesnt work I dont want brick my new One Max right away..
I would try it however mine is soffed and rooted already... I won't worry about trying it out.. There are not much tool which can brick our phones without s off or atleast bootloader unlock.

It´s not working already tryed. I have the same Problem wan´t to gain s-off without unlocking bootloader, but there for i need a rooted stock rom. But i find no way to root my stock rom without unlocking the bootloader. If someone find a why please tell me.
I am afraid there won't be any methods to root it without boot loader unlock. Google is making android secure enough that root does not happen until bl unlock, which is good for us. If I am not wrong Samsung phone still get a method without bootloader unlock, I suppose that's because if Samsung or the extreme number of ppl could be working on it.

is your phone Verizon or sprint? The international variant is quite straight forward to root.
1. Unlock Bootloader via HTC Dev
2. Flash custom recovery from the recovery thread CMW/TWRP.
3. Download SuperSu.zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
4. Flash the zip in recovery.
If you use runrunner for the international version, you have to be rooted/unlocked first.

As I was running through the numerous One Max reviews researching whether I would take the plunge or go for the Note 3, I ran across the following article:
http://www.andromods.com/root-unloc...-rooted-unlock-bootloader-soff-rumrunner.html
It's dated for 9 December, but I can't totally verify that it works however as I was "lucky" to find one on eBay already S-Off, Rooted, and Bootloader Unlocked. Figured the seller's asking price of $675 was essentially the same as going to VZW and dropping $599 + tax. (Holding on to my unlimited data plan is getting increasingly more expensive with each phone upgrade.
Hello
Please i need Your help

You can root now and cancel the update, or let the update happen and follow the instructions in the NE9 update guide. The only thing that's missing in the guide is a link to Odin itself, so here it is for you. Odin is a utility for flashing Samsung firmware. Just make sure you follow the instructions given exactly.

That's my understanding. I'll probably be doing the same thing with my Note 3 in a couple days, once it arrives in the mail. But yours is a different device from a different carrier, with a locked bootloader, while mine will be unlocked.
I've seen many people experience the same problem I have and it's that I can't install the Lollipop update at all. Tried this on my brothers Mate 2 and it didn't work as well and his is all stock (No root, nothing)
- Mine is rooted
- Stock recovery, switched back from TWRP
- Unlocked bootloader
Took this off of @GadgetStrutter cause I have the same problem's he's having
1. Extracted B309 to formatted SD card and tried to flash (Software install failed!)
2. Updated my rooted B126 to B148 and tried to flash from SD card again (Software install failed!)
3. Unrooted my B148 and tried to flash from SD card again (Software install failed!)
4. Reformatted SD card and redownloaded B309 and extracted it into root folder, and then trying again after (Software install failed!)
5. Rerooted my phone, but in B148 this time. Tried to restart and flash from SD card.. (Software install failed!)
- Got my phone from Wind Mobile, read threads and apparently made it into the stock B148 rom, (MT2-L03V100R001C00B148)
PLEASE, I'm HELLA impatient when it comes to software updates and I'm sure so is the Huawei community

The thing is, multiple users who have bought the HAM 2 from Wind have converted it to into the stock version and are able to update to Lollipop.
I read a bunch of posts saying you can turn your HAM 2 CC Variant into the Stock HAM 2 by download the stock 4.3 rom, call me a bull****ter but I'm just stating what the HAM community says.

That's incorrect. While you can flash the stock b148 onto the CC/Wind variant, its not a full convert. Lollipop update will always fail. There is currently no way to fully convert or fool Huawei updater to think it is the OEM version.
I assure you, no one has gotten Lollipop onto the CC/Wind variant yet.

A TWRP backup won't work like last time. They changed partition sizes of the boot/system...so when TWRP tries to flash the Lollipop backup it runs out of space and fails.
I doubt that Wind/CC will update it.
Everyone is still hoping someone will come up with a way to flash it. Just gonna take some time.

Is there no available method to increse the size of the boot/system partition? I'm sure there has to be a way but someone isn't and wont look for it. Correct me if I'm wrong but can't you create a partition reserved just for that with an additional size adjustment?

I'm sure there is a way, but the developers here don't have the CC/Wind variant, and can't do any testing.
And they say it is risky thing to do.
Huawei should have been more clear but the Lollipop is ONLY for the US HAM2, MT2-L03. No variants are included, yet. That means Wind and Consumer Cellular will not work using the published methods.
I am not calling anyone a liar. If someone with a variant has been able to update to Lollipop then they really need to create a thread and post how they did it.
Perhaps this?

You could try flashing stock recovery, but I believe the update works without it.
Your final option is to do the OEM conversion just to make sure its fully OEM.

No disrespect, but your information is either oudated or absolutely wrong about not being able to convert the wind mobile variant. I just did it today following the guide with what other wind owners said and am running b322 now. I'm only writing this because your posts made me stay away from upgrading for a LONG time. If you don't mind annotating what you said, it would really help others.
So, follow the guide. If when you flash twrp it doesn't work seem to work, simply boot it instead then flash the oem zip and then you can flash oem 4.3. After that, following the guide you should have no issues going straight to b322. Don't do any updates through android itself, power off and use the three button method. It's not hard but it did take me close to an hour if not more.

You do see that this is a thread from July. A lot has happened since then. It might be outdated now but was most likely correct at the time it was posted.
Thank you for encouraging others to try the conversion\upgrade, though.
Yep, I know it's from July, but so is the conversion guide hence why it can be confusing, especially coming from a senior member. In any case, I hope this helps Wind users. I really like the new android and I can't say I've noticed any software bugs yet, it's running great!

I received the 6.0 update tonight. ~788MB download and 20 minute install.
Things I noticed differently:
-Response and fluidity seem better, might be due to it clearing the app cache
-Notification bar is smaller, this is a plus for me
-Messages in the message app are smaller, this is a big plus for me
-Everything LG wise has a more flat material design to it. Looks better than before but still iffy
Will update in the future about the battery usage.

Rooting a stock ROM, and having a version of SuperSU that will work on it are two different things. That's not a root method unless you:
1. Already have root/TWRP.
2. Have the new ROM as a flashable zip.
If so, then after flashing the ROM then you can flash SuperSU.zip.
This isn't what people are looking for when they're looking for a "root method".

@2kool4u526 can you test the auto brightness on this release? On 35B in a dim room the built-in auto brightness made the screen too dark to be useable, although using Lux Lite from the Play Store rectified that.

You'll have to get root before you can attempt to install TWRP. Keep in mind if it screws up your boot with a secure boot error, you might not be able to fix it until they release a KDZ for 46A, if 46A's Download Mode doesn't allow flashing older KDZs, just as 35B's didn't.

Too bad it's not like Samsung with being able to flash a custom recovery via USB through Odin on a PC, at least that's how it used to be with Samsung before Knox - now I don't know.
I've tried looking into if it's possible to build our own KDZ but I never got anywhere. Since there are tools to extract them there must be a way of building them, although they might contain some kind of manufacturer signature to confirm they're official when flashing them.
Wi-Fi Calling?
Can anyone confirm/deny if this version has any WiFi calling capabilities? I know Verizon rolled out this capability for the S6 and said they were going to update other Android handsets in 2016.
Long shot, but I figured I would put it out there...
do we even have any devs working on stock verizon ports anymore? i thought holyangel and hasbadr stopped working on this device

Define "anymore". @hsbadr , @HolyAngel and @xdabbeb all released 35B-based ROMs, and the only one of those three who's phone situation changed since then is @HolyAngel 's.
Before the KDZ is available (or rooting a stock build of the OTA at a minimum) it's too early to find out if anyone will release a ROM based on it. Heck, if no one else did by some miracle, I would, based on what I learned from @hsbadr and @xdabbeb.
Only those three devs might know if they would update their ROMs, and we shouldn't ask them. Either they will or they won't depending on if they feel like it.
(I know you weren't asking them so please don't get upset)
i know hsbadr didn't have the phone anymore when he did 35b.
Really hoping we can get a Jasmine update for MM, I mean maybe someone can make a poll showing how much demand for one there would be?
Yeah idk if I'll be supporting it or not at this time, at the least need kdz or system dump.

My guess is that the Android One variant will have A/B partitions for seamless updates, so there's going to be a different recovery and install method. All devices endorsed by Google since the launch of the Pixel use the new partition table and this results in difficulty in 3rd party development. Pixel doesn't have an official LOS ROM yet and just got official Magisk last month. It's going to be a rough start, but the community will grow.

We are able to unlock the bootloader, Which means we can go Super CID. With Super CID we can flash (in DL mode) a magisk patched boot.img , and achieving root access. So next will be porting a recovery........ Get to work.

Also, there was a link posted in the U11 TWRP thread to a test TWRP build for the U11 Life. Not sure if anyone tried it, but there were also device files uploaded, so it's probably a good place to start.

Technically yes and no , there arent any Tmobile boot img's floating around, so it has to be another GSM boot img. To ensure there are no hiccups being SuperCID wouldn't hurt.

I repeat: SuperCID has nothing to do with flashing a boot.img. You can literally flash any boot.img that fits on your device (with a proper header & dtb) if the bootloader is unlocked. CID isn't involved. In fact, SuperCID leads to issues with Carrier customization on newer devices, and RUUs will only flash on devices with the correct CID, not SuperCID. I think that happened around the time of the M9 Marshmallow or Nougat update.
In fact, you don't even have to flash the boot.img. You can simply fastboot boot it, and you should still be able to achieve root. And then you can back up the stock boot.img so there IS a T-Mobile boot.img "floating around." If someone just downloads one of the RUUs from Easy Firmware, uses the Decrypt Tool to extract it, and then Magisk to patch it, it should be possible to dump all of the stock T-Mobile device partitions.
Haven't seen you around since the Evo LTE. But I may be getting the U11 Life pretty soon, so I should be able to contribute in some way or form to the development of the device.
Anyone try that test TWRP build in the u11 thread yet? I'm thinking about it..

u know the risks I looked through the source it has sd660 not 630. So I'm not sure what would happen but we won't know till someone finds out. Also I'm not sure if all the partition info would be the same.

I paid the 15 dollars from easy firmware hopefully it's not a scam website and real files. I'm down loading one now. I'll keep you posted

You don't even have to flash it. Just fastboot boot it from the bootloader and see if it works. That makes literally zero changes to your device. Nothing to risk at all.
Also, if you're not willing to soft brick your device for the purpose of testing, then there's no way you'll ever have a working TWRP.

It's a real website, and the files are all real. If you grab the combined signed RUU for the 617 region, you should be able to patch the extracted boot.img with Magisk for root.

Thanks and I'm willing to do anything it takes. I know the brick won't be forever I've been getting HTC since the evo days. I really do appreciate all your help.
