Ok so my first M8 died so I had to get another one. This one came with 1.55.605.2 out of the box. Baseband 0.89.20.0321. The issue I am having is that every time I try and s-off it just sits there adding dashes at the bottom after I type yes and the message saying if Firewater hangs for more than 2 minutes...I have searched and haven't been able to find a solution. I did see where someone said to export the firewater file from his dropbox into the local folder and in adb start at the adb shell step. Did that or so I thought and that didn't work either. Maybe I'm not extracting the file as all I'm doing is downloading it and then copying and pasting. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I apologize if this has been asked before. I searched as much as I could and could not find a definitive answer. Thanks to everyone on XDA.

Thanks for the response! Yeah those are the steps I've been following but no luck yet..I may reset the phone and start over. I did the steps on my previous m8 and it worked like a champ. This one is being a pain lol.

Ok so I take it you have gained temp root with WeakSauce and have SuperSU installed and verified ADB is working?

Yup. I enter adb devices and it recognizes the device. Everything seems to work fine until the last step after I type in Yes. Then it just sits there. It gives me the message "if firewater hangs for more than 2 minutes, press and hold power for 60 seconds" 3 times..Then just dashes and doesn't do anything else. Really confused on this one.

Odd...I had no problems with firewater and my phone is on the same firmware, how many times have you tried it? I read somewhere it make take multiple tries.

So I was up literally 6 hours trying to root my Inspire 4g. I was able to get the temporary software on the phone however when I try and do the hackerize-ace rage it says the file cannot be found and obviously the commad /data/local/tmp/rage doesnt work on the mobile terminal as well. I have tried both the "one" click root option and doing it manually serveral times and cannot seem to get passed that. I have also tried it on 2 different computers and same thing. I do not have any anti virus software installed on my computer.
Seperate isssue now is every time I try and start the process all over again I either get 2 different errors. 1st one is it cannot write the file because it doesnt have permission to and the second is the incorrect model id error when checking the file. I am using the same gold card I originally made.
Like I said I was up for hours trying to root this device and I am running into several issues. Maybe I was just tired and missing a step but any help would be much appreciated.
Side note im at work so I will not be able to do anything until later today but I remember details of the process so feel free to shoot ideas at me.
Thanks

Easy root for Thunderbolt on Mac OSX
I wrote this and seems to work fine the few times I have used it.
If you guys run into any problems or errors please let me know so I can see whats wrong.
Follow the Video set by step.
Sorry if I talked quietly I'm sick.
Enjoy!
Fixed. If you are getting a adb command not found error. Redownload the big file or download the runmefix.zip (Check your tube video) uncompress the file and put runme in the thunderbolt directory of your desktop.
If you download the big file after April 9th 2011 at 7:30am then you do not need this fix
Saw the video. Got the files. Will be doing this as soon as my phone is charged in the AM. Hopefully it works.

Yes. Worked awesome. Takes a while, but it worked. Just make sure to follow directions to the T, I accidentally hit enter on a command too soon and had to start over. But all works as far as I can see. Super easy, but takes a while.
Thanks again to OP!
This looks great--no messing around in ADB?
Its uses adb but you don't have to worry about it or anything like that.. The download includes what it needs.

Yeah it worked great for me, the first time around the phone booted earlier than it should have and I had to do the whole thing over, and the second time I tried to remover the Verizon Backup via titanium backup (**DO NOT TRY THIS**) and almost bricked my phone, and so the third time everything worked perfect and now Im running Perfect Storm by Chingy and its awesome thanks!

I had that happen for me as well. It seems that by default the Mac doesn't recognize it. Click ignore on the pop-up and click okay for charge only. Unless this is what you did. In that case try again

how do you start over? do you just turn off the phone and restart the app on your computer?
hey everyone. i just grabbed a bnib one s off of craigslist that has been locked to a different carrier then i use. when i paid a website for the unlock code from the imei they said they couldnt do it and refunded my money. when i asked why they said the code hadnt been posted by the manufacturer and that i should wait a few weeks. when i googled this i found something that said manufacturers dont usually produce unlock codes until phones have been on the market for 3 weeks.
seeing as how the one s has been out for months, could this mean the actual phone needs to have been released for over 3 weeks?
big thanks to ferraripassion at www.htccode.com, he was able to get my unlock code when 3 other websites failed. the code was also emailed to me almost immediately. hes much faster, and has much better service then the other websites i tried. if anyone ever needs unlock codes, or is having trouble finding theirs either pm him, or visit his website. his site also has an imei checker so you can verify he has your code before you bother paying and dealing with refunds like the other sites.

Have you taken a look at the thread SIM Unlock for FREE
yes ive read that. my problem with that is:
i recently bought a bnib one s that was unlocked, it worked fine for a few weeks then got stuck in a bootloop without being modified or rooted. i could not enter the recovery and factory reset didnt work. i unlocked the bootloader and attempted to install an aftermarket recovery and it also wouldnt load. installing a ruu also wouldnt fix the problem. when i tried to get it warrantied htc wouldnt cover it because i unlocked the bootloader.
now that ive bought my 2nd one s, im going to use it for a month or 2 before i bother unlocking the bootloader. hopefully a 1 or 2 month grace period will be enough to weed out any potential defects.
i tried another unlocking site htcsimunlock.com, they also couldnt find the code, however they have access to htcs company database and said they have a 99 percent change of unlocking it for an extra 15 bucks. im gonna give them a try.

Oh yeah, you can root the phone without unlocking the bootloader using this tool.
https://dl.dropbox.com/s/koi38l3uve546rs/Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17.zip?dl=1
Turn on USB debugging on your phone and run the script on your computer.
Press 1 for normal
Then on your phone press "restore my phone"
Then wait for it to finish.
After that use the unlocking guide.
That will keep your warranty intact since HTC will have no trace of your phone on their servers.
thats awesome! when was that released? i was hoping thered be a way to get around unlocking the bootloader.
is it possible to load custom roms or change cid with that or do you still need to unlock the bootloader for that?
deep search couldnt find my unlock code either, looks like ill try your method.

It came out sometime in September it just no one really knows about it around here (One S forums). I think you can change CID without unlocking the bootloader but I'm not sure. I know how to unlock the bootloader without using HTC dev also but I need to test a little more.
for some reason the rooting program isnt working. ive tried running it from cmd with admin rights, click 1, click restore my data on phone, it restarts for a few min script says its complete then it restarts and i dont have root. ive tried it 3 times now i dont know if im doing something wrong or what?
phone is in debug mode with allow 3rd party apps.
i also just noticed there is an error report ready on the phone. any ideas?

Strange I tried it today myself. I actually ran a RUU then the first thing I did was try it and it worked just fine. It added the app Super SU to my phone. That's root. Then right after I did it i checkd in adb shell and it dropped down to root no problem. My bootloader was still locked too.

From what I understand the way you get root is the script exploits a timed event in the adb backup/restore process. So maybe try it a couple times.

I saw everything you did before with your last One S I know you're competent at all this; so I'm sorry to ask but did you look for the super SU app everytime? You're on T-mobile US right?

My script looked exactly like that. The phone rebooted twice and it was done. If your used to seeing the "Super User" app and your looking for that it won't be there this uses the "Super SU" app. They do the same thing.

i wouldnt say im exactly competent but i know a bit lol. ive flashed different roms on my tf101 i bought used that was already unlocked, and i am a bit familiar with looking threw scripts and running commands from using linux but ive never actually rooted a phone. but yeah this seems like a fairly basic process, i doubt there is much i could be doing wrong here.
super su is not installed, and has not installed in any of the attempts that i have noticed.
my phone is locked on fido in canada. maybe this has something to do with it?
do you remember if your phone popped up with the htc error report when it was all done? maybe there is some kind of programming from fido interfering with the script and causing the phone to reboot?
also when the phone reboots the first time and it tries to copy everything. mine doesnt completely load the home screen. my background loads but there are no apps on the screen and the launcher bar at the bottom is missing. i can however pull down the top menu and load into settings.
on a side note, have you seen this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1913729 any idea if it would work with the one s?
i appreciate your help. theres probably not much you can help with but its nice to get some input from someone who knows more about this stuff. i posted on the forum page listing my problem so hopefully the developer of the script can figure something out.

That won't be an option for anyone that hasn't downgraded their hboot though. I thought I was pretty sure that I had all this wrapped up and just needed to write instructions.
Do you guys have the HTC drivers installed? I'm sure I'll be able to figure it all out it just might take another day or two.

Your carrier wouldn't matter. But it sounds like it created a problem with your stock ROM did I read that right? Also, it's my experience that the error report only shows up if you have the "security warning" flag in hboot and you are using a stock rom.
We can't depend on the Sprint HTC phone stuff that much. They have a SD card slot and we don't if you'd like to look else where then you want to look at the ATT HTC One X stuff. They use a modified version of the root exploit for their phone. I'm guessing that it worked for me becuase I had a lower hboot. I didn't think that would be an issue but it just might. I was going to test it tomorrow since if something goes wrong I know how to fix it. So you might want to hold off. But if you'd like I'll post the link.
If you guys move forward then you might get stuck having to unlock via HTC dev to restore. Which kinda defeats the point of trying all this. You might want to hold off another day or two.
yeah i have the drivers installed.
i dont really have an option at the moment, im not gonna unlock the bootloader just yet so ill go without . if you can figure it out thatd be wicked. i have a link to my ruu if you want to try it...

I think so. How do I confirm this? Either way I don't think this should be the problem, since I get a return to adb devices.
By the way, do all RUUs need downgraded hboot?

Easiest way is to just hit the button in the all in one toolkit. Not all RUU's need to downgrade the hboot. You can use an RUU that has a higher hboot (as long as your CID is compatable). So you can always use a RUU to upgrade but not to downgrade.

So I wanted to wake up my nexus 5 with the volume buttons. Looking online I found that you could add code to your build.prop.. which I did.. then rebooted...

So I wanted to wake up my nexus 5 with the volume buttons. Looking online I found that you could add code to your build.prop.. which I did.. then rebooted...
Now my phone does 'nothing'... When I press the power button it vibrates 2 times and nothing happens...
Help!.. Have no idea what i can do to get things running again
P.S. I've got Slimkat ROM running

Don't exaclty know what you mean with that..
I've downloaded Kwongger's Nexus 5 All-In-One Toolkit , I hope that's what you meant. And then it says it's missing the hammerhead.image.zip... which I assume is the stockROM?.. If so, shouldn't I Reflash to Slimkat?
Sorry for being such a Noob. I've had Samsung for years and just switched to Nexus (bought it last week). Still need to learn my way around things

Let me start with, Thank you so much for your time
However, It seems like I'm unable to install the right drivers on my PC for my phone and adb doesn't detect my device (which is strange as CF-auto-root did see the device and worked fine)
I walked through multiple tutorials about installing drivers. Actually have windows detecting my phone fine (I see it in device manager) and I've reinstalled google USB drivers multiple times now, rebooting my PC and deleting drivers and reinstalling them
I've justed factory reset my phone, but that just got me to a Google logo stuck (which I read about in your link in your signature)..
Because adb doesn't detect my device I'm unable to pull build.prop... which means I feel stuck again.
Would you have a direction for me to go towards to continue my journey through Nexus5-Land?

If you're using Windows 8, 8.1 or 8.1U1 you'll need to disable driver signature enforcement.
Try flashing the factory images in fastboot?
Could somebody not just make a flashable zip with the correct build.prop?
Failing that, just reflash the ROM.

It seems like it worked! Completly back to StockROM but the phone works again. Thank you so much for your time.
And you're right, I should learn to read and understand what I'm doing before I do anything with my phone. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for the help you've given.

Glad you got it sorted but, unless you couldn't boot into recovery, you didn't need to go back to stock.
Flashing the correct build.prop or ROM you were using should have sorted it out, without losing any data (you would have lost any system mods if you flashed the ROM again, though).
I'm only mentioning this in case somebody else searches and finds this thread for the same problem.
I've changed the build.prop loads of times on many devices and only once it went into a bootloop. Flashing a build.prop zip sorted it.
Tried converting to GPE edition by following htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/convert-your-htc-one-m8-into-google-play-edition-0154471/ and using this file: RUU-HTC_One_M8_GPE_5.0.1-3.11.1700.5_rooted.zip. (I don't have 10 posts yet, so I can't post URLs.)
During the process, I edited android-info.txt to include my phone's mid and cid. Everything seemed to go fine, but now it only boots to the bootloader screen where I can choose fastboot or recovery or whatever, but recovery doesn't work. Also, my laptop is no longer detecting my phone on USB so I can't use ADB commands.
Please help... Don't know what to do from here.

If you are still in this situation install team viewer and pm me the Id and passcode so I can take a look.

Yep, still am. However, this morning I rebooted my laptop and now it is able to detect the phone on USB so hopefully it is now fixable. I'll PM you after I get TeamViewer installed, thanks very much!

Actually, I take that back... It makes the "ding" noise like it's connected, but ADB complains "device not found" when I try to run commands...
Forgot to update this. dottat helped me out earlier this week and he is indeed the man! I'm good to go!
