Rooting on lastest update 4.4.2

jtio21 · Apr 30, 2014

So with the new HTC sync Windows 8.1 recognize my phone while it is booted into android adb and fastboot. But once I boot into boot loader and try to run Firewater its a whole different story. The pc no longer recognizes the phone and firewater does not run at all. Any advice?

Update: also how do I disable the lock screen on android 4.4

If you can get your hands on a Windows 7 machine that's the best way to get your phone soff. I don't think anyone has really used Windows 8.1 as it and our DNA don't get along unless you do something with the drivers. I remember there was a thread talking about Windows 8 and the DNA a while ago. Try searching but I'm not sure if they ever solved it.

In terms of disabling the lock screen it's no longer an option in sense. However if you download the app called no lock in the app store it will get rid of your lock screen.

Hope this is somewhat helpful.

Firewater will not work without a root of some kind. I tried the temproot they provided and no luck, doesn't work. So untill we get a bootloader unlock/root method we won't know if firewater can successfully get us S-off.

The temp root doesn't really work anymore on Verizon devices.
You need to run weaksauce for temp root, then use Firewater.
I'm already s-off so I can't confirm if it works or not but it worked on the latest m7vzw update and m8vzw update.

Which Wifi Tether app were you trying? This one: https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ or another?? Because I'm not upgrading until I know there's one that works. I used Moonshine to gain S-Off and then rooted on 3.06 with TWRP.
