[Root Unlock S-of] Verizon m9 MM 3.37.605.13 via 3.37.605.7 downgrade

This week update 3.37.605.13 was pushed to the Verizon HTC m9, this patches the temproot Sunshine used to gain root.

I am working today to come up with an alternative, but until then we have found that you can downgrade to a compatible version while s-on, so that you can unlock the device.

If you are on 3.37.605.13, download the 3.37.605.7 Ruu from here.

To flash the two methods exist. This should not wipe data, but always backup your data just in case.

Method 1: (preferred)
Rename the file 0PJAIMG.zip (that is a ZERO not the letter o and it is .zip, not .zip.zip, check to see if your os hides the file extension).
place the file on a sdcard, put sdcard into the follow and reboot to download mode using adb (adb reboot download) and follow on screen directions

Method 2:
Reboot the phone into download mode with "adb reboot download"
Use htc_fastboot (not the google version of fastboot) reboot the phone to RUU mode "htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU"
Then flash the zip
"htc_fastboot flash zip 0PJAIMG_HIMA_WL_M60_SENSE70_VZW_MR_V...9_signed_1.zip


After you are downgrade you can use SunShine to s-off/unlock the bootlaoder, then flash twrp and SuperSu 2.65 (not the newer builds) for root.
