forgive me because normally i do do my homework and find the answer for myself as im not new to this awesome site and already know how things work here so I am really sorry for Im sure this has been covered but simply put I have very little time due to some life bs thats going on with me right now and cant dedicate the appropriate time to do my homework,. Im on 5.0.1, s-off and running a stock prerooted firmware from the ruu file DOTTAT_VZWM8_S_OFF_5.0.1_SF_FUU. My phone without me doing anything has downloaded the 6.0 update and I know sooner or later verizon will force me to take the update. What is the best way to upgrade and still keep s_off, unlocked and rooted? once again I apologize for this rash approach because I do respect what you do and I know making people do homework is how to best educate them. I appreciate any help whether being a direct answer or a link to the appropriate forum for the answer, and and all help is most definitely appreciated.

I start this thread because this question has bother me for a month, since i had the Titan.
We all know that next gen windows Phone will use the NAND Flash Memory. So the first thing i know, there is no Gold Card anymore.
I used to use the Gold Card Technique to install the EU Official Windows Mobile ROM for the Asia HD2, so i am kinda familar with it.
So now i have the HTC Titan from UK , and i am not really pleased with the British Accent on it. So i am looking for the answer if i can install the Official ROM of AT&T version for it, and most important thing: be able to receive the official update for it.
Since it is NAND Flash Memory, and bootloader will cancel the install from the start, i am looking for anyone who have the answer.
And there are many custom ROM out there, but my main concern will it be able to receive the update?
Thanks.
PS: my bad i mean Region, not "religion".

Maybe no one here tried it yet. But if I were you, I wouldnt mess my ROM. About custom ROM, that depends. I remember one of DFT that was able to receive update. Dont know about the new ones, but if you do receive updates from MS, you certainly will not receive OEM updates, like HTC releasing the drivers for internet tether.
So I have the ATT HOX and have it rooted. I have NOT upgraded to the 1.85 OTA update. I was interested in putting CleanRom on it but Im a little lost as to what I need to do exactly. I keep reading of downgrading software which Id assume I dont have to do. But where to I go to unlock bootloaders and get customer recovery. Theres not a one stop shop in the dev section to know exactly what your looking for. Any help (mainly with correct links and or programs) would be appreciated.
Try this thread it will tell you everything in detail

Hi i am new to the droid community got this fone as a gift from a bufdy of mines, got tonrun it on metro pcs network was really to setup. Anyways i update to ota with out doin no reaseach seems like i am stuck with 4.4.4 my question is there a way to root xt10180 non dev or temp root??? Can someone guide me the rite direction thank u
P.s if this is not the rite place pls move post t.y
Considering there is other sections more appropriate than the "Dev" sections for a question or concern, this would certainly not be the right place to ask.
But to answer your question, no. If your BL(bootloader) is locked, you have OEM/Stock recovery, and are on 4.4.4 you are screwed. It appears the Ultra is no longer being supported by anyone capable of finding a method to root. However, you can PAY for a BL unlock code, but it apparently has not been successful for everyone so I personally havent tried and would not pay the premium and possibly get nothing in return. At 4.4.4, you are unable to downgrade to older versions capable of root. Unless someone releases a method of bypassing the stock restrictions - you may have to wait until the next update. Only problem with that is the day after you update, if you choose to, someone may release a tool or method to bypass those security measures. However, if you dont update immediately you may possibly miss the window of opportunity to use a crack-able version of an OTA and wind up being stuck with too new of a version (I am not 100% sure on this last statement, as its been awhile since I was fully involved in the dev world). Hope this answered your question.
Yeah know I am stuck on this version. N I also won't pay for no bl that's not going to work. If someone do come out with a crack version I am willing to donate. I miss been root man. I hope someone do come out with a way to bypass this restrictions. I know they are a lot of smart ppl out there, that can help us noobs lol.

I'd like to thank anyone ahead of time for taking the time to read and answer my question.
I have a Verizon HTC One M8 running Android 5.0.1. After a year of stock, bloated use, I would like to root and install a custom ROM. I learned that I cannot use HTCdev to do it because Verizon blocked it. As of now, it seems that there is absolutely no way to get s-off. I searched and the only option seems to be Sunshine. However, Sunshine does not support android 5.0.x and higher. I have nowhere else to go. I find it very hard to believe that there is not support on how to achieve s-off on a popular phone for the biggest carrier in the US. I am not complaining, rather I attribute this to my inability to find such a thing. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could direct me to a guide or thread that can provide a solution or at least, an answer.
Thanks again for your time,
Phil
Hi guys, been lurking these forums off and on for awhile but I finally decided to make an account in attempt to my root my S5.
Generally I have a decent technical understanding of the android system but root is something i've never dived into completely so I had some questions and concerns. My biggest concern is that I attempted to root the phone a few months ago (I believe it was with..kingroot? if that sounds right) but failed, I'd like to try to root successfully but am wondering if the previous attempt could mess anything up and if so, how to fix that.
I was only wondering what exactly I would need to root the device, as in downgrading OS(?) or if only certain models are elligible or the like. Last but not least Id be interesting in finding the "best" rooting tutorial (assuming the stickied one isnt)
Thanks a lot guys, looking forward to getting into this!

Well first you need to tell us about your phone, like what software version you're running currently?

If you are on builds OE1 or OG5 you cannot root, downgrade, or do anything. You are stuck with stock. If you have anything before OE1 you have options.
Thanks for the replies guys sorry I wasnt more specific. Im running Android 5.0 and my build number is LRX21T.G900VVRU2BOG5 , is that what you mean by build? If so, is the root for it just not figured out yet or is there something stopping the device from being rooted permanently?

That is the build I was talking about. Between the locked bootloader and the security patches, it would seem the device is permanently stopped from being rooted.
