So what are you? S-on or S-off???
Posted in other thread.
I'm using weaksauce and firewater to try and S-Off my vzw m8. All goes smooth till the first "bottle" during firewater process. Keeps failing at that.
My one is still on 4.4.2 software 1.55.605.2. I attempted firewater on a win7 laptop and also on Ubuntu 10.04, with the results above. From what I was able to find it seems like the software version is still unlockable via firewater, or am I wrong?
Thanks

After you do the adb reboot but before you run the commands try opening weaksauce on your phone. Then continue with shell commands.

Doesn't seem to work, apparently there is a HW difference, I guess I'll have to use sunshine. Thank you for the suggestion though.

So, the only way to root an M8 on 4.4.3 is to use Sunshine? I'm not paying $25 to root my phone, that just seems kind of pointless...

Unfortunately for the Verizon variant that is the only way. Firewater was a free alternative (for 4.4.2), but since sunshine was released firewater was no longer supported. By paying the $25 its continuing the support for the development of sunshine so it will continue to work for the later OTAs and such.

What's your point?
I"am wondering if firewater is now corrupted, because its supposed to work on the verizon m8 on 4.4.2 firmware with weaksauce and now it no longer work ????
I know all the little things that can keep firewater from working, such as after the adb reboot weaksauce not giving root sometimes you have to manually open weaksauce also some times you have to un check usb debugging and then re check it to get it to recognize the device for the adb reboot to work. Also when you download supersu from google play never open supersu until firewater has given you s-off.
All of these were just issues you had to get exactly right but when you did firewater would work. My thoughts are firewater is completely corrupted now and will not work at all when it should.
Has anyone got firewater to work in the past few days ????
If so please respond and list how you got it to work what you had to do, because I believe firewater no longer works when it still should be working on verizon m8's on 4.4.2 with weaksauce.

Personally I think there should be some competition instead of everyone forced to use sunshine, after all this is a free market where everyone should have choices, that would be like only having one cellular carrier and everyone was forced to use them. Just as that example we need an alternative to sunshine. Maybe another app that does the same made by a developer that feels that he can make more than enough only charging people $10.00 or even $15.00
I just think there should be some competition instead of their only being one choice and everyone stuck without options.

For one thing it does take a team (and some victim hardware). Complaining about the team or the price when no one else has put the time and hardware into developing their own tool is at best useless and at worst harmful to the community. Right now the choice is root or no root. Sunshine is a choice. You can stay stock. You can develop your own method of root. Choices.
How much time and hardware do you think firewater and all of the tools of the past took away from the guys who provided it?
Did it ever occur to you that there never really was any competition because the motivation (read payoff) wasn't there?
You complain about and yet you ask for help.
No help here.

Firewater has a few things that can keep it from working, one being patching, the other being unpublished differences in production runs of htc devices (sometimes not even whole production runs but parts of them). It has nothing to do with no longer being supported, it just can't work anymore. It can't be made to work. When bugs pop up beaups certainly does support it and make changes, he updates the binary regularly. Anyone watching it would see him do that.

We do nothing to discourage competition, we dont hold people hostage, make threats etc. Firewater should still work fine, assuming the device isnt patched, and is not a whelp device. beaups is out of hte country right now, its entirely possible that his server is having issues (i dont have access to that one like i do the sunshines). If his server is having an issue, it will be fixed when he is back.

Yes but at some point there has to have been enough people have paid and used the app that they are getting rich off it. I have no problem with them making a fair amount off it but when does that fair amount go to far. Yes it is root or no root but everything else there is competition on just like they split ma bell up years ago because they were controlling the market. All I"am saying is we need some competition I guess its only a matter of time before some other team of devs out there thinks about it and how much that reward adds up then get to sit back and collect the rewards forever like a personal gold mine.
Oh and I never asked the devs of firewater ie sunshine lol because they already made it known they wont because honestly they dont really want firewater to work, but honestly a new verizon m8 on 4.4.2 is the same as it was when firewater came out the stock 4.4.2 verizon m8 did not change if it has never been updated so that said firewater must have changed otherwise it would still work.

By they, i assume you mean beaups and I, since we did sunshine (and weaksauce, and beaups did firewater)
Get rich? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm sorry, i work 12+ hrs a day to manage to pay my family's way. I'm no rich man.
We don't control the market. Other solutions are available, javacards and easyjtag both can be used to s-off the htc m8. Both are harder to user (esp easyjtag), and much much more expensive.
I'm sorry you dislike the fact that we came in, and undercut the competition. I guess we could have put it in a hardware dongle and charged $250 for it like others do. If you don't support what we are doing, then don't buy it (but you did anyways, your username matches the paypal address of one of the sales we had)
You have absolutely no idea what the heck you are talking about. Get off your rear and go look up firewater and the whelp error, it has existed since BEFORE the m8 ever came out. You are making yourself look ignorant.

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.

Check your app drawer for Super SU? I don't think it's hboot specific at all but what are you guys on?

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.

running android 4.0.3

hboot is 1.13
su does not get installed and rootchecker says that there is no root. ive tried it like 5 times now...
did the end of the script look similar to mine? i watched a video on how to run it and it looked a little different, however it was a different version of the script so that may have been it. i also get an htc error saying the phone just recovered from an abnormal reset.

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?
I already spent a few hours on phone stuff today. You might have to wait until tomorrow.

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.

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.

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.
hey l3ft3r1s were those errors posted in the script window or is there a log file that is exported somewhere? mine doesnt report any errors in the script window.

Script window.
As i see you get the "Backup-Restore.apk' does not exist" also, but this shouldn't be the problem, if you get the "Restore" prompt on the phone.

Interesting I used the RUU_Ville_U_H3G_UK_1.53.771.4_Radio_0.15.31501S.19_2_10.13.31501S.06L_release_251870_signed
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.

Oh snap! Ok sending donation as soon as I get on my laptop!
Has anyone yet provided a step by step video by chance? I know nothing about adb stuff as I've never had to use it so reading the firewater instructions I'm a little lost :/. Haven't tried installing weak sauce root either yet, is this easy or a video? I believe i need weak sauce root installed first? Then S-Off, then I install twrp? How would I install twrp and after I do install does it then install full root then can delete weak sauce?
I'm sorry I know this literally was release an hour ago but just hate to brick my device out of ignorance and not knowing. Appreciate any help for someone like me that doesn't use adb or sure of the methods and steps here.
I believe a few people are working on videos as we speak. Should be done soon.

cant get it to work how did some one do it
has anyone tried to flash the kernel yet?
It looks like we have R/W access without doing this after firewater. I've added/removed stuff from /system without any issues(apps, priv-apps, stuff from the media resources, etc)
edit: I've done probably 20 reboots with no issues along the way of modding stuff and still everything is fine.

really did it stick after boot?

nevermind you answer is in your edit
You do not need this kernel mod after you have S-off'ed and perm rooted.
I have personally tested this. All system changes survived hard reboot (via adb reboot)

Open your supersu, does it keep trying to update binary ? If so others say to try superuser instead of supersu then try firewater again. I would only recommend sunshine as a last resort. Dont give up on firewater keep trying. Look at the other post on firewater others say they got it to work some with superuser instead of supersu. Keep trying and keep the $25 in your pocket.

I went through this yesterday.
You'll notice that the Firewater md5's from mid-late July don't match what is currently posted.
I couldn't get the current Firewater to work with either supersu or superuser, and the old Firewater (what I used originally) would just disappear when I ran it, new version gave me the Whelp.
I'm going to bet that this is not mere coincidence, but if I had arrived at the answer sooner I would certainly have traded 3h of troubleshooting and frustration for the 25 bucks...
Yeah I have to agree with the above. I've used firewater successfully on probably 5 or 6 devices. My own and helping friends. I got a refurbished replacement device from Verizon yesterday and can confirm that firewater no longer works. It gets to the first bottle then says something to the tune of "sorry but firewater WON'T work, no amount of re-flashing or RUUING will make it work, blah blah". I didn't know about Sunshine yesterday. I had a copy of firewater on my hard drive and computer neither worked. Though I noticed that before if you copied firewater from anywhere besides their website it wouldn't work. Even when it first came out. Probably a measure to stop people from copying it or repackaging it. But anyways, firewater no longer works. If you want s-off on your Verizon M8 you have to pay 25$ for sunshine. Period. They just made it a paid only exploit which I can't say I blame them for. Too many a-holes pledge money then don't pay. I'm happy to pay the 25$ and support development.

The firewater with a different file size as posted worked just fine for my m8.
The Dev and many others say some newer m8s have an odd hardware causing an issue.
I ended up just coughing up the 25$ and paying for Sunshine. It worked amazingly fast. Took about two minutes and one reboot. Was amazed at how automated it was.

Is there any risk in running the weaksauce app in between reboots while the rum runner process is working? Could anything potentially go seriously wrong with the phone if weaksauce returns the "root failure" message while rum runner is trying to work?

Yes , i did the exact same thing and it works . I used weaksauce to get temporary access to root while i was running rumrunner , and it finally gave in . Good stuff by the developers. Sending my contribution and thanks to them soon !
Just breaking it down in case a newbie (like i was 3 days ago) can make his/her life simpler.
1. rumrunner works in most cases for HTC ONE X (AT&T , USA) version for getting S-OFF. But it needs root access. One way to try and do this is to get WeakSauce installed on your phone (i also installed SuperSU from the app store) .
2. Now once u start executing rumrunner , make sure you use weaksauce to get super user access . Rumrunner will reboot ur machine ,and sometimes weaksauce did not work on my phone after a reboot , and in such cases i manually ran the app on the phone (though rum-runner says no). This lets rumrunner continue and get your phone to S-OFF successfully.
3. Once rumrunner reports that its done (pouring..followed by something that suggests its done, cant remember what , right now), you will get S-OFF on your device ( reboot into bootloader by pressing vol down +power) and check the status.
4. After this you can do anything you want ! like install cyanogenmod (cyanogenmod evita , i run cm11 snapshot 10)
And these developers are awesome ! Also @grigoriisii , sorry if this looks like im hijacking the thread , just trying to give a bit more details for the lazy one/newbie checking the last post

Computerfreek274 Turbopop Android Pay
11/07/2015 Update This Android pay build has been updated to the newest tweaks it is running clean and wifi tether is working great. Android pay is also working 100% I just tested it at 3 stores today. Please remember this IMG has no root! however it is clean of junk and tweaked for speed with WIFI tether. For most users looking to root it was just to get wifi tether for the unlimited users. This rom is great if you like an clean stock android phone with working android pay and wifi tether.
Please ReadThis is an un-rooted Img to Support for android pay.This system image Is for users looking for a tweaked system better battery life and boosted audio and removed bloatware and Android Pay!
So if you looking to still have a tweaked and clean phone but still you like to use android pay then this img is for you. Google android pay is checking for root all the time and unlocked boot loaders. So we can only hope to get an patched ver of android pay one day for rooted phones. So for now I am going to work on this IMG it will be lean and clean with some great tweaks and boosted audio.

Download 1.1 Of Computerfreek274_TurboPOP_AndroidPay Here
Uploading now 11/07/2015 @ 10:15 AM Please give it an hour or so to show up on the server.
Help And Support
Please Backup data! Photos and stuff you need just in case! I am not to be help responsible for data loss or if your phone dies.
This IMG has been tested on 4 phones today 2 of them needed a full wipe to get it it boot so please keep this in mine that you may have to do a full data wipe.
Please read the readme file to upgrade your modem and kernel to the newest ver.
Preparing to install this img when coming from an img with root xposed stuff like this. 1. Uninstall xposed and any mods reboot when done. Step 2 Flash via mofo let it try and boot if it hangs on the moto screen. Hold down power enter recovery and wipe cache and reboot. 3. Download android pay and update android services VIA google market setup android pay update remove cards it will not matter at this point. Just remember android pay only supports some cards and the ones you already have on your account. Also you now have to add you google wallet credit card to android pay as wallet and android pay are split up now.
If you can not boot no matter what you do and you forgot to backup your data then flash back the img you where on and boot BACK UP YOU DATA! Then start over with step 1. and when you get to step 2. Wipe cache and data.

Yeah supported card and cards that you already had on your account also you google wallet card can be added. Wifi tether will also still work for users that need this. Just remember there will be no root so what i add is what you get.
Would you be willing to drop in the latest AdAway host file, and then I'm personally at 98% of why I run root on my phone?
Thanks again for all the hard work!!!

For me it is easy as soon as I am done testing and tweaking this build I will be back on my rooted 493 img. I can always pull out a credit card to pay for somthing not like any of us walk around with your phone only and not you real wallet.
Help and Support Update
For android Pay I will post updates on my website and on XDA and remember android pay is an unrooted tweaked img with ad blocking and more.
On my website Computerfreek.com Now has updated help and support how to setup stuff like adaway,Boot anamation, Dpi and more.
I will also be posting Pre-Release images there days before there on XDA for testing. There will also be images some custom images that will not ever be listed on here on XDA. So please check out the site it is still a work in progress but it is getting there. As of right now I did not get custom IMG listed and the newest ver is still 1.6 and it is listed below. I hope to clean up OP this week with some of the same info found on my website. I maybe doing an order page where you can order an custom IMG for a fee with 3 free Updates per IMG.
I have tried everything and cannot get audio to work at all. Is anyone else having this issue or know of a fix?
Anybody using this ROM verify it still works since the security net update?

Right. You have to pull out SOMETHING -- whether your phone or your credit card. It's the same action. Using the phone is not really any easier.
And in the real world, no one leaves the house without their wallet. Occasionally going to work, I have left my phone at the house, but I've never left my wallet.

Argghhh. I wish people would STOP digging up old threads. STOP IT. THIS is from September 2015! NOTHING from back then for the XT1254 is relevant for now. And Safety Net has been updated many, many times since then to block people. Anything that worked over a year ago sure wouldn't work now.
However, usually it's people who won't believe you need to pay for Sunshine to unlock their XT1254 bootloader. They dig up year old threads to ask the same question over and over like they are going to get a different answer.
Wow, you are really upset there buddy. Sorry that it bothers you. But to me, this is relevant. I have mofo root not sunshine, and i dont see the point in going through all the effort of sunshine and new roms, when moforoot works perfect. Furthermore i surely might be wrong, but i didn't see a lollipop or marshmallow ROM with these features (tweaked, tether, android pay).
I was simply asking if there was anyone who know how to get the audio working with this ROM. If you don't know, then just don't reply. What's the point in posting just to complain?

If you are still on Moforoot (with Kitakat 4.4.4 base installing a "Lollipop" image), you are 1 in a million. You're a year behind all the dev work.
And the ROM will NOT work with Android Pay -- due to all the Android Pay/Safety Net updates the past year. SafetyNet will detect Moforoot. It's obsolete, out of date ROM that will no longer work.

Getting Android Pay to work on a modified device is a constant cat and mouse game. A few workarounds were found and promptly patched by Google in Android Pay/Google Play Services/ Google App updates. If you use it frequently, unlocking is a bad idea. Android Pay might still work on an unlocked device, but any change that you make to any system files will cause it to not work, so there's no point in unlocking.
Even if you managed to root without unlocking (via moforoot or through the terrible kingroot method), you would break Android Pay because root is one of the first things that it looks for, and none of the apps/xposed modules designed to fool it are successful at doing so.

It isn't a miracle..
If this is a very stock ROM it should still make it past safety net.

It won't. Please let the year old thread die. It was dead for a reason.
This was back 6 months ago and Safetynet has been updated several times since then.
