Lol, I just logged in and saw that. No notifications or anything, its just appeared.
Nothing on mine says unable to verify offer for this device contact HTC support.
Are you rooted? Mine did the same, but I got an email about 20 minutes later saying my account had been updated.
In for a penny, in for a pound. Just used the Sunshine app to s-off. Now to install adaway.
Thanks for your pointers so far guys.. This has turned out to be quite a bit different to rooting a GS3 a few years ago.
EDIT: I'm guessing you can delete the sunshine app without any worries once its done its stuff?

Yes Im rooted, and no email.
Did you redeem the original offer before you were rooted?
That's insane, I wouldn't have that either. They're literally gimping features of the device, can you not set another app as default?
Anyway, it's easy enough to root and stay stock. Look up CF-root if you don't know a load about android, you'll manage with ADB if you do.
It comes pre-installed with the latest Android version and every so often asks if you want to upgrade, with no way of cancelling it or uninstalling it. I still use the standard messaging app, so there is that at least.
I know a bit about rooting, started rotting with a HTC Desire when they first came out, then the Galaxy Nexus, I just always get slightly worried before rooting in case something goes wrong.
I had a couple of brown trouser moments recently. All ok in the end though. And then I decided to unroot just to see if I can lol.. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235)
Now my question is, I left s-off, so I just adb unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery then re root the rom?
EDIT: Also, whats the deal with charging on this thing? it seems to take 2+ hours to charge, and thats not from empty either. Am trying my 2A ipad charger now but it seems barely any quicker at first glance.
