alonkushu said:

I have and HTC One Verizon running android 4.3. It has a locked bootloader and S-On..
I tried to S-off using rumrunner but I get stuck on this error - "ERROR: looks like device is not rooted AND lacks an unsecure kernel. su or FU!!"
What do I need to do so it won't happen??
Thanks!!!!

Rumrunner won't work with 4.3. You must be on 4.2.2. Shouldn't be long before there's a method for 4.3. Just not yet.

Thanks! Do you know how do I downgrade? ( I heard about using the RUU or something..)

Are there any other ways to root or S-Off with 4.3? In the same boat here and it's annoying...

Silly question. Once I use firewater and achieve S-OFF, what next? just install SuperSU from the play store to have root access? Also, do you lose data with Firewater? On 2.10.605.1.

Thanks.

No data loss, but you have to flash cwm or tarp and install superuser from there. At least I think, I'm kinda new at this too.
