I am having trouble to root my HTC Droid DNA verizon because it has the latest software version, 4.09.605.5.
Does anybody knows how to root it?
root will work with WeakSaucev2
s-off is SunShine

Temp root will work with weaksaucev2. For permanent root and using custom roms or being able to keep changes after reboot you would need at least unlocked bootloader which would require an s-off exploit as the CID is blocked on HTCdev top unlock the bootloader.

Sunshine for the latest update, yes. If you are on older firmware there is other options you can choose from.

Is this SuperCID thing a sim unlocking software?If i have a Officially unlock amaze & thuen do i need this?After i root my Amaze,do i have to SuperCID too?
TIA
Supercid lets you install the stock software from other carriers, so nope, it's not an unlocking method, we do have one of those too. But both require s-off.

Nope you don't have to, it's just one of those things a dev would need, though not necessarily with all the resources we have.
Cant seen to find any instruction on rooting/unlocking the bootloader on an Att HTC One with the 4.3 OTA Update-Any ideas anyone?
Same way as always

Unlock bootloader. Flash custom recovery. Flash super user. Profit.

Mind pointing us to a guide?
So the ota update didn't change or affect anything?? I've never seen that happen. Usually an ota update blocks any type our root exploit until someone figures how to crack it.

Ya that what I was thinking, before I go ahead with it-I require atleast one more confirmation that this is untrue
The only thing that got blocked is the exploit that allowed s off because hboot was updated

confirmed. you can still unlock and flash custom recovery like you always have, but the new hboot makes it impossible to s-off at this point (unless you pay for a java card or for a shop who has one to perform the s-off). There have not been any reports (to my knowledge) that ATT or HTC has blocked unlocking via htcdev.com

Which is why I said unlock bootloader first. Honestly, it's as simple as I listed it. And if you don't plan on flashing ruu's for other models, s-off isn't that big a thing. I have it, it's nice to have, but if all you want is to root, flash roms, etc, just unlock and flash custom recovery.

What happens if you run the exe file that is the GPE RUU from the HTC site (Brightstar) after you have OTA'd to 4.3 ATT version? This is my only phone so I didn't try for fear of bricking it, but it seems like it opens the rom upgrade utility program and would flash a different ROM, or does it check and then fail the install?

I guess it's a catch 22, can't s-off after 4.3 OTA, so can't change CID, or obtain the SuperCID status, is that what I am understanding at this point?

if you want to lock relock without htc devs your gonna need soff. use firewater for 2.49 hboot. once soff, use scotty's method for lock and unlock bootloder.
once soff, install twrp recovery. it will ask if you want to root on exit.

I read a lot of guide on this forum but all of them are outdated or too hard to understand for me . So please help me root this phone step by step,thanks!
Im using Android 4.4.2 , not modified anything.
I see there alot of autoroot app out there, is there any of them work for our device?
Ps: what is the difference between this device and the butterfly, are they the same?
They are similar hardware wise with a few differences. To s-off/unlock/root on 4.4.2, you will use Sunshine then flash a custom recovery of your choice.

Not for the DNA. Blame Verizon. They block access to HTCdev. No Verizon phone made after the Rezound can unlock the bootloader via HTCdev.

I do not install custom roms or anything, but it works fine with apps that required root access.
One step more?

I am at the point of installing Sunshine. Now wanting to gain permanent root, so I can change ROMs if desired.
I tried installing TWRP through some ADB commands, but had no success. Can you assist? I also read that after installing a recovery, I should install / flash UI.zip, but had trouble locating it; the couple links I tried were dead.
Can I gain permanent root on 4.4.2, how?
Thanks
