It was only last week that HTC announced the new HTC One (M8) with immediate availability in Verizon stores. However, like any other Verizon device, the One (M8) also comes with a locked down bootloader that makes find a rooting process for the device a very challenging task.

Nevertheless, thanks to the hard work of Jon and beaups, owners of the brand new One (M8) from Verizon can now gain root access on their handset via WeakSauce. 

A renowned source of leaks on Twitter has revealed the existence of yet another smartphone, but this time a midrange offering from LG. The handset going by the Optimus Exceed 2 moniker is reportedly headed towards Verizon Wireless in the U.S. as the press image clearly indicates.

The HTC One (M8) was announced a few hours ago and we’ve already spoken about its features in length. From the early reports, it’s quite clear that HTC has a winner on its hands. And customers in the U.S. are lucky enough to be able to snatch up the handset from Verizon Wireless. The carrier has now announced another incentive if you’re looking to get the device.

The All New HTC One will cost $600 off-contract when it goes on sale in the United States, according to the latest information leaked on Twitter. In addition, the gold variant is expected to be a Best Buy exclusive — at least initially.

Verizon, America’s largest carrier, will exclusively carry the all new HTC One starting tomorrow, March 25. Other carriers like AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile will have to wait a couple of weeks to get the new smartphone. This information comes from an insider familiar with the matter.
