Verizon HTC One bootloader unlock and root already available Aug 22nd 2013, 23:49, by Cory Gunther A few months later than the rest of the US carriers today Verizon Wireless finally launched the impressive HTC One smartphone. It’s one of the best devices on the planet, and sadly we had to wait this long. However, now that it’s here you’ll be happy to know it’s already under heavy development, bootloader can be unlocked officially at HTCDev, and we have root too. For those on Verizon that were sad to wait for it to arrive, only to later see a stock Google Play edition hit the Play Store for AT&T and T-Mobile, this will be some good news. Not only can Verizon’s HTC One be fully unlocked using the standard HTCDev bootloader unlock site, for now at least, but it has already been rooted. Hopefully we’ll get the GPe ROM up in no time. According to Droid-Life multiple users over at XDA have confirmed the unlock indeed works. But you better hurry because if this is like previous HTC devices on Verizon, it’ll get removed rather quickly and we’ll have to wait for the developer community to officially crack it. That or wait for the Developer edition that will run you over $600, no thanks. Then those same sneaky and awesome developers over at XDA already have clockworkmod ready to go, and a simply 1-click root access file as well. So for those who understand the risks, and enjoy hacking and tweaking their phone, head to the XDA link below to get started. I’d hurry and unlock that boootloader first though, then proceed with the rest. Did you snag the new Verizon HTC One today? Or are you waiting for something else since it took so long to arrive. Galaxy Note III or HTC One Max maybe? VIA: XDA Developers Story Timeline HTCdev, your new home for Bootloader Unlocking HTC DROID DNA gets unlocked without HTCdev Verizon HTC One revealed on newly launched teaser page Verizon HTC One to launch with Android 4.2.2, no cherry red version HTC One to get Android 4.3 end of September LG G2 tipped to arrive on Verizon Sept 12, followed by AT&T Aug 22nd 2013, 22:56, by Cory Gunther Earlier this month the folks from LG announced their latest and greatest smartphone with some stunning specs all across the board. From having the world’s thinnest 5.2-inch full HD 1080p display, a quad-core processor and more the LG G2 is nice. Sadly the only release date was August-September, and they’ll share more details soon. Well, today we’re learning those additional details. It looks like the LG G2 smartphone could hit Verizon on September 12th, then follow that by launching on AT&T on the 13th. The device is set to hit the 4 major US carriers, so these could be first, or T-Mobile might beat them to the punch. We’re not sure at the moment. These reports come way of an AndroidCentral insider, so take the dates with a grain of salt. This isn’t official. During the launch event in New York City we were told late August by a few LG reps, but so far the word on the street has been early September for most carriers. If they were going to launch this month, we would probably all have heard something by now. Reports have surfaced that the Galaxy Note III and its 5.68-inch display is coming the second week of September. Followed by the HTC One Max at some point, so LG might be trying to beat the competition to shelves — and customers hands. The September 12/13 dates are only a rumor for now, but hopefully we learn something soon. We have a feeling LG will be pushing carriers for announcements before the September 4th unveil of the Note III and upcoming Sony Xperia. Get ready for those backside touch controls.
