[Q] root/unlock catch 22? verizon and 4.3 - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I searched this site for quite a while and have not yet found a solution to this problem, so the only thing left to do was to post this.
I have an HTC one running 4.3 on Verizon.
The first problem occurs when I try to post my unlock token to htcdev. When I do I get the "Mid not allowed: error 160".
So to fix this I learned that I need to change my CID to be something like "111111". The weird part is, in order to change my CID I need to be unlocked and have s-off.
You see my problem? I can't unlock because on my CID, and I can't change my CID because I'm not unlocked....
Does anyone have a solution? I'm sorry if the solution is already posted, I just can't find it!
Thanks!

I've tried to use rumrunner but I have gotten an error on the end. I'm not sure why I've been getting the error but based on some of the posts that I have read, it might be because I'm using android 4.3?
Has anyone on this site unlocked/s-off/rooted an HTC one one Verizon running ota 4.3?

Stuck on relocked bootloader

Hey guys,
A couple of days ago I recieved my One after I sent it for repairs.
They fixed my camera issue but changed my phone back to s-on. So now i'm left with a relocked phone with s-on.
I can't seem to re-unlock my phone by using htc's unlocking guide. After flashing the token it doesn't go into unlocking mode.
So i need some help with that. I'm on hboot 1.56 and 4.4 stock sense. Not rooted. Stock recovery.
Htcdev isnt able to help me so i completely rely on you guys.
Golden tip means a nice cold one.
Cheers

have u got a new unlock token or is it the same one as u used earlier? If u are using the same, I guess it may not work coz of the newer hboot. why don't u try getting a new token using another email id and trying the unlock bootloader process.
Also, it would be better if u uploaded a snapshot of the error message
Thanks for helping me. I have already tried 4 new tokens on different emails. I'm not getting any error message. It flashes succesfully.
But the "Unlock mode" doesnt pop up. It did when i unlocked it the first time.
Believe me when i say that i tried everything known to men ^^.

btw how did u get 2 stock 4.4? Apart from the dev edition handsets, which all versions have got the stock 4.4 update?

Already tried the toolkit 1000 times. It's hopeless..... Htcdev is now compiling a completely unique token for me.
Got a guy internally over there who takes care of unlocking issues. So i'm hoping for the best.
Cheers
Got the same problem.
New phone I'm afraid.
Or a VERY slim chance of an ruu, but I doubt that as I've already reflashed the firmware, and an ruu would only add system and data to that.
Don't have the option for an ruu anyway as I'm on 3.62.401 that or something newer isn't available.
So.. if you're guy sorts it I'd love to know how.

Yeah its a very weird issue. My guy sent my issue to their bootloader devs. They are now compiling some sort of RUU that will completely reset my phone to when if came out of the factory. So that means: New bootloader, s-on and locked. I really hope it works since this is driving me crazy.
Ofc i will let you know if it works. I also asked @mike1986. for his help. He's kinda the god of The One.

Cool.. what firmware you on? Model etc..

Can't Root HTC One

Hi, I'm having trouble trying to flash the google play edition rom onto my HTC One (Verizon). I have tried unlocking the bootloader with htcdev.com and it gives me the error: Error Code: 160. Error Reason: MID Not Allowed. I tried to change the cid to 11111111 but that doesn't work either. Also rumrunner doesn't work. I have done a lot of research and can't find any fix for the problem.
Other information:
Android Version 4.4.2
Hboot Version 1.56
Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance.

if you can't unlock bootloader you can't do much else. pretty much everything else is dependant on it.
I think the error message you're getting when you try and unlock bootloader is because Verizon (through your device MID) does not allow it.

Look, on a locked bootloader, you cannot do anything what ur trying. Verizon phones cannot be unlocked using dev unlock. Only Rumrunner. Make sure that u have HTC Sync Manager installed on ur PC. Run rumrunner again. Rumrunner is the only bootloader unlock solution fr Verizon. Also, make sure USB debugging is enabled and fast boot in power settings is off

Correct me if I'm wrong but Rumrunner won't work for him either because he is on 4.4.2. That version can't achieve root which is required to s-off. And until s-off is achieved, you can't flash any ROMs...

số cid của bạn thì up tất cả các vùng,còn muốn root ,tôi không nhớ nhầm thì phải unlock boot s-off
Yep....
After hours of research I feel stupid because this can't be done at the moment. Anyone who is a Verizon subscriber is SOL after updating to 4.4. Can't be done. End of story. Untill then I'll patiently wait. Glad I have an AT&T S4 running CM11 which was done without using a PC so I'm happy about that. The phone I have with Verizon is through work and sense is garbage and battery life is abysmal with all that blotware. I really want CM11 on my HTC One :-/
Does firewater work?!?!?! Use firewater!!!! It works I'm pretty sure with the newest update!!! Link here!!! http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/ Use firewater and see if it works on 4.4.2 if it does then ??????????????
Sent from my Rezound using xda-developers app. CyanogenMod 11. S-off
Firewater does not work either. Really hit a brick wall with this one. Its a shame because I was really looking to use CM11 with the HTC one with the nice display its got and everything
There's a way.... Me and my friend are getting closer to possibly downgrade bootloaders on moto but keep the operating system....... Sorry for that off topic, but there's always a way!!! Unless its Samsung lol, sorry for the off topic OP
Sent From Rezound Running Sense 4. S-Off
Not if you have a Verizon HTC one running 4.4 anytime soon lol
Bet somebody could crack it... Blow the qfuse.... Or is that only moto? I also find it funny how my phone can run the same as the top of the line smart phone running sense 4 now I has sense 5!!! and cyanogenmod 11.
Sent From Rezound Running Sense 4. S-Off
When that happens please let us know. So wait you're running CM11 with sense? How does that work? Also are you able to use the remote app that runs on sense stock? I have used the smart IR remote app on my S4 running CM11 which works great with smart TV's but not so great with non smart TVs at least from my experience with it. that's the only thing I'm worried about losing when and if I'll ever be able to get CM11 on my HTC one

Okay lol, were getting all of our info for moto right now, reading boot sequences the way in which everything boots, the structure of the bootloader, where the qfuse is located and how we can possibly fry it. My question is. What actually unlocks the HTC bootloader. I know the unlock code.bin But what "actually" let's you unlock the phone? Questions to think thats where you get into the thought of how to hex or trick something such as rum runner/firewater does. Its unlocks and makes you s-off. I read somewhere that it just makes your phone think its s-off, could this be or not to be? I'm finding all these answers..... Were going to try something tomorrow, could possibly brick moto or allow us to unlock WISH ME LUCK!!! I have rooted romed a HTC one, can someone answer one question on the HTC one. When in FULL stock recovery or when someone goes into it, does it just do like my phone and set it back to when I go it (not factory reset) or does it allow options just like wipe cache factory reset and stuff like that? Please someone answer that for me
Also I know how to write the code and make exploits and everything, but how in gods name do you edit a .bin file and see what the ACTUAL ORIGINAL code was. I know its not just some computer person is going to sit down and write ¢=¥=€℅£{`¶¥°`°©=¥ ain't no way in hell nobody gonna read that, then there's the way to change that to hex which is like CB190 FD240 something like that idk, the thing is, there's over 50,000 lines of that, but that simplifies to binary. I can't get anything to change my hex to binary. Because im pretty sure you can change binary to text but i cant get anything to change hex to bainary properly. I can change binary to hex then whatever the foop that symbol crap is. But not do it backwards. It simpily wont work for me.sorry for that noob question, but i havr an idea and need to know. Sorry if my words are wrong I'm tired.
With the IR blaster I'm unsure. I didn't test it. With 4 ROMs I switch back and forth from my SD card. I can backup restore/install and be rebooted with a totally different ROM in 10 minutes like I got bored with sense 4 last night, now I'm on sense 5 woot.

Any way to unlock a refurbished One

I had an One M7 which i had unlocked through HTCDev, s-offed etc and converted to GE
Then insmashed the screen which resulted into getting a replacement, refurbished as I guess
The thing is I cannot unlock it. i get the token but when i try to push it into the phone I get
an error message reading that the token does not match. Wrote to HTC and they replied that
"each serial number can only be unlocked once". Anything I can do? Tried moonshine, firewater but no success.

Few users have had motherboards replaced by HTC and unable to unlock afterwards (maybe not supported on new boards?). So you may be stuck. Despite HTC offering the service to unlock they are difficult in answering questions about it too

Well this isn't true. Many users here unlocked their phones more than once using a new unlock code. Maybe there is something bad with your version.
Some phone version can't be unlocked from htcdev.com (i.e like stated above, verizon)
Others phones like the GPE version suffer from a bootloader bug (updated version) and can't be unlocked no more.
Would like to see your unlockcode.bin and token if you want to share. Sometime they are corrupted.
Will try it once more tomorrow.
Is the unlock token unique per phone? I found the one from my previous phone
And it produces the same error

yes the code is unique to the phone, and you even need a new code when unlocking for a second time.
Coming back to this ( i own an M8 now, turned into GPe) , i use the M7 as a secondary phone but sense drives me mad. Any idea how to overcome the unlock issue? hTc has confirmed to me through email that refurbished phones cannot get unlocked

i have attached some pictures, i dont know much about these stuff yet. I using it in Pakistan, as i google it the code 651 means its a Sprint US i buy it from Pakistan and working fine except for the Update part. If any one can Help me that would be great.

Unfortunately you have to be on Sprint's Network to get the OTA update. Here is the RUU 5.03.651.3 which will give you Sense 6. Just follow the instructions in the OP on how to run the RUU, since you are S-OFF you do not need to lock your bootloader to run the RUU.
Here is the link to the Sprint HTC One forum. Keep an eye out in this forum for future updates, generally someone will post the OTA so it can be installed manually.

It should not effect you SIM unlock. There is no guarantee that any process will not brick your phone, OTAs from the HTC and carriers have caused some issues. The best you can do is check MD5 checksums to see if the file has been corrupted during the download process and check the OP for any one who has reported an issue.

Do you have updated fastboot and adb? If not, Minimal ADB & Fastboot Tool
Extract the zip to your adb/fastboot folder
Boot phone into bootloader/FASTBBOOT USB before running ARUWizard.exe
Try with a different USB port and/or cables

Unlock the bootloader through HTC's website: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
Flash TWRP and flash SuperSU through that.
S-off I barely remember how to do. All I remember was flashing a 4.4.2 build of CyanogenMod and running Moonshine on it.

What error exactly? You don't need to flash anything to get your token simply do "fastboot oem get_identifier_token". You can find all the instructions at htcdev.com/bootloader.
What is your "fastboot getvar all" ? (Don't share your imei/sn)

you'll need sunshine (which cost you 25$) to root + s-off + unlock bootloader. I consider it worth every penny
I also believe that Kingroot will provide you temp root (will lost root upon rebooting). I havent use it for quite sometime, dont know if they improved it yet but i doubt it

You can't unlock a Verizon phone using htcdev.com. Verizon asked HTC to block bootloader unlock because they don't want their customer to flash stuff on their phones. So like said above you'll need to temp root your phone so you can use sunshine to unlock your bootloader and s-off
I think I have to sell this one and buy something newer so I can play with it... Thanks!
I lost my HTC One M7 (ATT) variant late last year due to a charger issue frying the mainboard. I finally picked up a replacement last night which is the Verizon Model at a good price and it is in brand new condition.
The previous owner updated to the Lollipop 5.02 version which lives on it now. I have tried every method including the latest Sunshine to get it to root or even temp unroot.
SupeSu
Kingroot
Sunshine
HTCDev (before I knew Verizon locked it down so much)
It is the HTC6500LVW.
Is there any method that works at this point?

You need to use kingoroot to get temp root and then use sunshine to unlock and s-off. There is a thread in the verizon general section explaining in details.

I tried Kingoroot all weekend long and it did not work no matter what I tried.
I was at work today, tried again and it finally did it's thing. I then used Sunshine and got the rest of the job done, and then removed Kingo and put the SuperSu on there and am now happy to report all is good with it.
As for why it did not work in the first several attempts, it is beyond me.

Was it Kingroot? Or Kingoroot? Either way both don't work for me. Can you link me the guide you used.
