Swapped out my One Max for a One 4.4 root status??

twolostminds · Feb 20, 2014

Really loved the screen size but the One Max was just way too bulky

Plan was to swap out the phones, race home and s-off. Unfortunately when I got to the store the sales rep had already done me a "favor" by installing the 4.4 update for me. ahhhhhh!!!!!!! lol Is there any way to root this bad boy yet?

Not yet. Hopefully soon, but who knows. Htc is getting better at finding exploits and fixing them. I have a fear that pretty soon no phones will be able to get s-off.

as long as someone offers a Java card their will be s-off but you're right, the new exploits are few and far between.

I haven't had an HTC since the TouchPro II, what is a java card?

i guess there is a way to gain root access from the SIM card and from there you can load the unsecured boot.img and click the S-on flag to off.

Are you on 4.4 or 4.4.2? If 4.4 you can use firewater to unlock tour phone

Yup, 4.4.2....sorry about that. ::crosses fingers for a breakthrough in rooting 4.4.2::

StuckInTheDesert · Feb 21, 2014

I'm crossing my fingers as well. I just recently switched back to Android from iOS and I would love to clean up this bloatware.

note3userr · Feb 22, 2014

I'm also on 4.4.2 and I wanna root my phone. Is there a way to downgrade to an older android like a factory reset? I want to try all these custom Roms its killing me lol

Nope you need to be s off to downgrade. If it makes you feel better you are not missing much on the Roms. Lol

I am sure he will come out with a root for the phone.

Are you serious? You just took a huge shot at the devs that generously donate their time to give us some very awesome roms. I can't really even believe you just said that. Why are you here? What a joke.

The addition of "lol" only makes it look like you're bashing the roms we have even more. Maybe next time just proofread what you type so you don't accidentally come off like a **** or call people idiots in a poorly constructed post.

If I was bashing the devs work I surely wouldn't be laughing about it now would I? I would be serious. In all the years on different android forums I never once saw a person bashing a devs work end it in lol. I have supported many devs over the years and with the HTC one recommended many Roms to members on here. I just tested a fix for data drops on the latest viper one Rom for a dev. Anyone that knows me can say I don't bash a devs work unless they steal from another dev and try to pass it off as their own work.

So next time when you can't understand a post ask the person what they meant or just ignore the post all together. Instead of attacking the person blindly.

Thanks for the post and kind words. I have always tried to help where I can.

Your right neo has been dragging his feet far to long. We need to drag him kicking and screaming over to the One side lol. If I had the money I would buy him a One just so he could dev over here. Not saying viper one or any of the other Roms are bot good enough. Just the more the merrier and more options for us users. I have been rocking viper one one since release and has been a beast for me.
