I'm so lazy tho.... That seems like a lot. Does this method work when switching models?

nandroid doesn't work between models, it's an exact image flash of the operating system.
Titanium is a app by app backup, between different roms I wouldn't restore any system apps or core pieces. I would select like 10-15 of my apps and restore the data only after the phone restores all the apps for me on initial bootup. Restore the app data for say, tapatalk will have you logged in already. Though tapatalk is great now and it remembers the whole forum thing for you. But if I don't feel like logging into 15 apps, I restore their app data.

There is no quick and easy way to root the Verizon HTC One yet. Granted, you could spend the next 3 weeks researching the XDA forums; then send your phone out to a kid in CO who can switch your phone to "S-Off" for a fee; then when you get it back install a custom ROM. But the hassle factor is pretty damn high.
Why the fvck can't we get a real Nexus phone on Verizon??? Even when they had the Galaxy Nexus, they screwed up the software updates and rolled them out months after every other carrier had them.

Rumor has it that Cyanogen may be hardware partnering with HTC. So there may be an official CM phone soon. It's a serious contender against a Nexus phone.
But you probably can't get it on Verizon because they hate you and they want their customers to continue to give them $ for VZ navigator. I'm surprised they haven't blocked google maps from all their phones yet.

if I can go on youtube and root my verizon phone in 15min...the rest of you can...Its NOT that hard. However, if I had to pay for my phone, or I couldnt root it, I might be more inclined to agree with Luke. The network is quite awesome, I really cant think of anyplace where I have been off the grid in the past few years short of the narrows hike in zion.
They will crack the HTC One and GS4 soon enough, it usually takes a while when the new models are released. If some kid in CO has it figured out then someone else will too. Pretty lame that he's trying to charge people for it.

It's not that simple. The kid had to purchase a "J-card" (which is a developer tool), costs hundreds of dollars and only allows a limited number of S-Off's (something like 250). Also, you physically need to connect the J-card to the phone so it can't be done remotely. So the kid is just trying to recoup his investment and cover his time spent on each phone.
Once you have S-off, you can install custom ROMs, but the Verizon HTC One is NOT rooted in the traditional sense of the word.
I obviously need a life so I don't spend so much time on this crap. I hate the rooting process and flashing ROMs. Just give me a godamn Nexus.
