Can the new OTA be rooted / flashed custom recovery / etc? - HTC Droid DNA

I got the DNA about a month ago but when getting it Verizon did the update for me.. while "showing me the ropes".. even though I easily know more, but anyhow I'm stick with it. But it seems like I have to unlock the bootloader to get the recovery to root to flash Rom. But I'm unsuccessful even getting the bootloader unlocked for this ota for this phone. Is someone working on this or maybe I'm missing the current fourm? Thanks for any direction but I'd like to sometime test ubuntu on this quad core beast .. and get the bloatware off of it!

The answer is no.
Wrong section. Doesn't belong in development .
Have you read any of the threads in the DNA general or q&a sections?
From my S-Off DNA

For the 1000th time, no, unless you want to send your phone off to be jtagged you cannot unlock/soff/root your phone.

Send your phone to mobilevideotech.com
My phone updated as soon as I turned it on (my 3rd replacement.....I keep dropping them) and they were able to jtag my phone and s-off. Worth it for anyone who;s been updated for whatever reason.

Sorry for wrong section and yes I have tried to search before but many people saying many things. So thanks for clarifying with the extra info on where to send it too.

Help going back to radio before new ruu update

I need a link that I can download the pg05img.zip file that my thunderbolt had before the new ruu update. I think it was .6 or .0023 or something . My phone ran so much smoother with it. Also I was running the perfect storm v1.3 and had a kernel from ziggy .(1.7) that I cannot find now from his website. I have been looking forever and finally I thought id ask you freaks. Jk . Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Oh and don't tell me I should have searched because I did. I typed it in Google and searched on here. Didn't find any specific info due to the fact I didn't wanna lose root. I spent literally 6 hours rooting the bad boy the old fashion way adb drivers .

There's a radio thread in the development section. Has all the radios. Can't help you with the kernel.

You didn't search too hard did you. It's in the development section and it's title says RADIO on it. You will have to read pass the first post to know which one came with the phone. No, I won't be providing you with a link, just go to the development section. As for the stock kernel try flashing the debloated stock rom.

In here somewhere, shouldn't be too long to figure out.
As far as the kernel you'll have to ask or pm the dev since they don't have it explicitly posted.
Ok well I flashed the .6 LTE and cdma but when I check the software on my phone it says I have the .9 I am so confused
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
That is because you are comparing all the wrong numbers. From Adrynalyne himself...
1.12.606.6= release software. This is what you started with.
1.12.605.9= leaked software, but same radios as .6.
1.13.605.7= leaked software, latest, new CDMA and LTE radio. These are what people flashed in the RUU thread or Das BAMF.
Thes numbers are software release numbers. Not radio numbers. The baseband number, I believe, is the radio number. So, if you flashed this file, you have the new RUU with the old radio.
If you downloaded this file from the OP of the Radio thread, then you have the stock radio.
Lastly (for now), we have the 1.12.605.6 CDMA/LTE radio combo.

To read is your best bet. I have been a "lurker" on these boards for some time. I read and read some more until I understand. Believe me, it is not fun reading through a couple hundred pages for just one thread, but you would be surprised what you would learn by doing so.
And to be quite honest, asking questions such as this only serves to solidify the reason for the responses you get from the more senior members. If you have to ask questions like this, you had no business rooting or loading a new radio in the first place.
Good luck
Whatever I am not going to spend hours on here reading about a phone. I actually have a life and it is not spent on my phone . Thanks for the help. Maybe if you would explain the answer to the question I was asking I would understand. Instead of posting someone else's written material on here for me which I obviously read before . But whatever I flashed the wrong .zip file anyway and lost root thanks freaks

If you don't want to spend the time and learn about your phone then you don't need root
We won't spoon feed you here, you have to do somethings by yourself
Besides rooting the phone again is easy, as long as u didn't use a semi one click root

i have spend time to learn about this phone. I am just not familiar with the lingo. bro i have been from verizon (og droid) to at&t (aria) sprint (evo) and now back to Verizon only after having the samsung phone until the tbolt was out. I rooted every single one of those phones !!! i bricked the og droid and learned alot from that. havent bricked since. so don't tell me i don't spend time on here. you and alot of people on here spend more time complaining when you could be explaining. you would have saved a step in your last post had you just put the answer to my question. i build powerlines off helicopter skids for a living i don't have all day to spend on here "learning" the lingo. i just wanted simple help without you freaks getting your panties all bunched up because i apparently don't know what i am talking about. so if you cannot help me do not post back.
i am new to this website, as i have been finding all my information on google because i was afraid this would happen.
i rooted this phone having to install adb drivers on windows 7. do i just use shell command or whatever its called and push the files to the phone and make sure the md5sum is the same? all i was wanting to do was just go back before the leaked software. i was running the perfect storm 1.3 and ziggy mecha bfs kernel i think it was 1.7 but it was superfast. i live in los angeles and where i live i have full 4g all the time. now i lose 4g go to 3g then have to mess with it to get it back to 4g. that was until i lost root. so back to my question do i just push the files to the phone. i will have to fire up that old laptop again the only reason i used that one was because there wasnt a root guide for a mac back when the tb was released. is it easier on a mac fresh or on windows with the adb drivers and sdk already installed?

In the time it took you to insult everyone that can help you, you could have found the answer you were looking for. Just because there are people on here that have a vast knowledge about this and many other phones doesnt mean they have no life like someone who gets offended and calls the people that can help them "freaks". Next time you need assistance you might want to change your tact. Just my opinion.

Unlocked bootloader and loss of Wimax

Are there any developments in getting Wimax to work with unlocked bootloaders? I would love to run CM on my photon, been a CM user for years, but I really need to be able to tether wimax for my work.

Hmm, this post is still here in the development section...
I guess I'm gonna have to be the one to report it? That'll be 2 posts in then last week I've reported to be moved to the proper section!
Seriously tho, like mentioned above, what is good with people lately? I swear that people don't like to READ and would instead rather post a question (in the WRONG section at that) that has been asked and answered numerous times filling up the forums with repetitive questions and in return, eventually hiding the actual answers!
OP, if you had simply read thru the "Stickies" in this section, you would have VERY quickly FOUND your answer!

HTC warranty and ENG boot question

So if I send in my phone for warranty repair and they see that I have the leaked ENG boot that clearly says it is illegal to distribute outside of HTC, will I get in trouble for this?
You could take it back to stock if you want, just make sure you flash the stock hboot before relocking to avoid bricking.
This thread will provably be moved to the Q&A section shortly.
I put the badass in Team BAMF
Assuming the phone functions enough to flash back to stock, just do that. If it doesn't... You probably still have nothing to worry about. You're not the one distributing it. I suppose the person that leaked it could technically get in trouble though.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
The answer is that yes, if they wanted to they could tell. I have sent mine back S-Off at least though (with stock firmware) and had no issues. It really depends on the case. They probably won't care though (though a non-stock hboot is more obvious than just "s-off"). Also, don't post this here. Post any questions in Q&A forum.
That's there on every unlocked phone iirc. Don't worry about it.

Don't get all worked up man, the guy up there is just like most of us experienced users, we search and do research.

We do communicate, and still the same questions get asked over, and over, and over. It can become a bit frustrating after awhile.
9 times out of 10, if you simply copy and paste the OP's question into Google the answer will pop right up in the first couple of results.
I will say the same thing I said on a different thread...
When a question is asked people who know the answer have two options...
A) You choose to answer the question
B) You choose not to answer the question...
To come up with a smartass remark while NOT answering the question makes you a special kind of douchebag.
If a person is posting in this forums is because they were searching. Nobody comes to this forums as their first instinct...they find these forums because they are searching the answer to a question.

ME7(ota) + ROOT = what now?

So, like many of you I have the me 7 out update and have performed the SD card root method. Now what? I want to use Titanium Backup to start uninstalling the bloatware but I'm not sure which apps I can safely remove without causing issues.
Beyond this, what else can I do with my rooted/ME7 SGS4? What are the best apps for root only?

Personally, I would just freeze. It looks like we're in the long haul for recovery/bootloader. There's a chance that the next hack might not be available until the next update.
Honestly there probably will not be any bootloader unlock for the Verizon S4. Its just been blocked down so tight that its very highly unlikely you're going to get more than root. Maybe recovery but that is a long shot.
And its not about the time involved to find a line of code or some loophole. Its how they have learned from the past. The last few phones only got unlocked because of leaks. Without the leaks they would still be locked to this day. That alone says a lot.
