[ROOT/SOFF] Rootalot S-OFF and OCR for Butterfly

My buddy tested this out on his Butterfly and it turned out to work good. Full ROOT with S-OFF.
I am not the creator of this one click, but I was told it could be shared freely, as it also describes in the .ZIP contents.
I did not personally try this out myself (My One X is already rooted + S-OFF) so be sure to check it out and read all the documents before trying out this new root exploit.

It did finally pick up my One X after about 10 mins (more like 2), but like I said I'm already rooted. It looks like it supplies a good amount of phones, and with the 3 different methods for rooting, especially the third, hopefully we will see some good results!
I'm not responsible for harm that comes from this file, I have ran and tested it out to SOME EXTENT. Please be aware of this, and like I said, READ THE DOCUMENTATION.
It states it can:
Root Android 2.x
Root Android 3.x
Root Android 4.x
Rooting Phones and Tablets
Supplies S-OFF as well (80% Chance)
So, like I said, try it out and let me know if it works!

Nice one !

What Is S-OFF?
In their devices, HTC have installed a sort of security check whose level is determined by S-OFF/S-ON. Essentially, this security level is a flag stored on the device’s radio that checks signature images for any firmware before it is allowed to be written to system memory. This hinders using any custom ROMs, splash images, recovery etc., and also restricts access to the NAND flash memory. However, when security level is set to S-OFF, the signature check is bypassed, allowing a user to upload custom firmware images, unsigned boot, recovery, splash and HBOOT images, as well as official firmware that has been modified, this enabling maximum customization of your HTC Android device.
Furthermore, S-OFF also reduces restrictions on accessing the NAND flash memory on the device, allowing all partitions (including /system) to be mounted in write mode while the operating system is booted.

Is this for the X920D/X920E/Both? Really happy to know it works

Doesn't work.. I tried on the x920d (UB1).. while on, while in bootloader, while in fastboot.. doesn't work.. just sits there with message "looking for HTC Butterfly" for almost 20 mins, before I closed it.
Since I have tested it myself, I am going to close this thread, just incase someone tries something else and has a brick.

Adb & htc m8 issues

First off would like to say hello to the M8 community.
Just come from the S4
Here's a quick explanation, I rooted and installed SU 1.94, got root. Read and watched videos on how to s-off and unlock boot loader.
Set up phone for debugging . Installed drivers on Windows 7 and ADB during first attempt got to step two phone waiting on fire wire never got passed that. Deleted every thing and started over. Now ADB will not run looks Like the cmd isn't see the path. I really need some help, sent a good day trying this with no luck ?
I've have attached a screen of base band info. Help help plz.

It would help if you were a little more descriptive. Do you have the ADB path set up in your Windows Environment Variables? If not you can just put everything where you have ADB "installed" and just run the command line prompt from within that folder to start. I'm not sure exactly what your problem is though...

Thanks for the help!
I didn't think that I needed to record the issues, as I didn't expect to run into any. But I do see that I should have.
I will try your recommendation to run adb (Windows +right click, open command window) from the folder. This way no need to insert the path ,correct?

Cricket Root/Bootloader

Hmm so see tons off "unlock moto G" stuff but generally boot loader stuff requires the official MotoPho website. The problem I face and I'm assuming the rest of cricket users. I can get a temp-root but can't make it stay, nor can I use tools to unlock or flash a new recovery. Just would like to know what next I should do.
Android version 4.4.2
Can't get unlock code from MotoPho
Phone is from cricket (at&t company)
Temp root works for a bit.
Can I flash via a /dev/block?

How are you getting a temp root? I'm curious if Sunshine theroot ninja tool works if you already have temp root when you run it?

Getting temp root via towel pie root app, used a similar one for my nexus 7 but that stays, I have used a root checker and it says all good.

And SuperSu will even update or at least has but sometimes it fails, as well as I believe I've gotten root explorer to mount /system as r/w but as I try to replicate it atm its not tho SU pops up to ask for permission.
Twrp an cwm app both install the Recovery's but of course bootloaders locked so doesn't boot into it.
Edit: Sunshine says it will work so guess I'll try that next.

MT7-L09: Phone Unlocked BUT command not allowed when flashing

Hi,
I never saw this problem
My phone is unlocked (since a year more or less) and I can't install TWRP nor CWM. I tried many tutorials such as all the root methods listed on XDA for this smartphone.

There might be a problem with your drivers. You can try uninstalling and reinstalling them. Also, try using fastboot commands manually

unlock again

Thank you. I'd like not to have to relock it as it's already done and rooted. Could you please tell me what drivers to install? I tested many of them (https://i.imgur.com/wBgsezr.png) but it seems I don't have the right ones then.
I'm using Win7 64bits.
Thanks again!

Use adbdriveinstaler and when it's install you can push recovery to add folder and try this command
cd C:/adb
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Change name your twrp or cwm to recovery
Send frome globe

Okay. Here we go
ADB driver installed (https://i.imgur.com/PWrZoHH.png)
Went to flash and... still not allowed.
And in fastboot/rescue mode on my phone it's written PHONE Unlocked.
WTF
BTW, is there any other way to upgrade the phone? Cause every time I go to the software update in the menu i'm told it's up-to-date, but it's not... Android 4.4.2 & EMUI 3.0.
I read about a "local update" but can't find out how to update from the SDcard, I only have OTA.

Failing to get permission to get Super cid (to get S-OFF, to get hboot 2.16 ...)

So in terms of getting my HTC One S repartioned I need to get hboot 2.16. In terms of getting hboot 2.16 i need my phone S-OFF. In terms of getting my phone S-OFF I need to get Super cid: 11111111. (What kind of absurd adventure is that? seriously!)
So in that very last step of the chain I landed here and while going through this instruction I fail getting permissions:

Guys, and tell me: Is it really that complicated or am I just missing something? I mean what is with that endless IF-Chain?
/edit: I am getting desperate here. I have even tried this rumrunner.us-thing.

is your device rooted, you need root to use rumrunner, and maybe close your virus program on you pc.
which windows version you have?

Yes My device is rooted, I have enabled root for both apps and adb and I also have superSU with the default option to allow root enabled. So I also see in the log, that shell is performing some root-action-stuff.
Windows 7. all Firewalls are off.
