I just tried to redo the temproot and i got the response "there really isnt a helluva lot to do here bye bye"
Boot to your boot loader. What does it say? Unlocked? S off? If so, you just need to flash a recovery in fast boot then install a Rom of your choice.

Mine says Unlocked and S-Off. Whenever I select recovery, the screen blacks out and eventually I get a silhouette of my phone and a big "no" symbol. When I try to run the commands from the bootloader screen it doesn't detect my device.
Yes it says unlocked and S-OFF, i cant believe i missed that............
Download the latest Twrp recovery from the HTC one Verizon thread under original android development and flash it in fastboot.

It worked for me! Thank you. Now my next step - I downloaded the latest cm7 nightly. How do I flash it over?
Well you can boot normally now to your stock Verizon 4.3 os, copy the Rom to downloads folder of internal memory, boot into recovery, go to wipe, just slide to restore to factory then go to install and choose the Rom you downloaded and install it.
Or you can have your phone booted to recovery, press adb sideload on the phone, swipe to enable sideload. On your pc change directory to where the Rom is and type adb sideload nameofrom.zip in the terminal.

Thank you, it worked! If anybody is following, the adb sideload option is in the advanced options of TWRP. Thank you everyone for your help. Android is upgrading as of right now optimizing apps for cm7. xda-devs you are wonderful.
has anyone tried on os x?
i have everything set up but when i type in /data/local/tmp/firewater on the os x terminal i get the error:-bash: /data/local/tmp/firewater: No such file or directory
What can i do to fix this?

You have to be admin. And you must be in the directory of the firewater and temp root files. Change directory to where you have those files, make sure you have adb set up correctly by including it in your osx path, and issue the equivalent of sudo su on the Mac. I'm not sure how you get admin rights in terminal on a Mac, it's been a couple years since I've had a Mac.

I cannot gain s-off with firewater, can you tell me the version hboot you had before and the rom you were running. I just think it isn't compatible with mine.

2Congrats! Well you need to flash a recovery. Get a recovery.img http://flyhalf205.com/getdownload.php?file=recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-m7vzw.img and place it on your pc in the same folder as the fastboot.exe file. Open a cmd prompt and navigate to the directory where the 2 files are. Boot the phone to bootloader (hboot). Then in the cmd terminal typethenCode:
fastboot erase cacheCode:fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryimg.img1If you are s-off and unlocked all you need to do is flash that recovery i posted, and then flash a rom of your choosing. Most every rom comes pre-rooted. I assume right now you are stock. If you want to stay stock just flash that recovery, then flash superuser thru recovery and you will be rooted.

Where did you get the firewater download from, got a link?
Never mind i found it http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/1
Are you rooted? Or did you install twrp and it says that? You have to be root in Linux to run the command.
Ex: cd Downloads/firewater
Sudo su
Type your password

It should not as long as you place the firewater files in the same location of the temp adb directory and run commands as admin.
