[Verizon HTC One (M7)] papei:
I've been trying firewater now for a week with the same result. After the first bottle the terminal kicks out to the command prompt and the phone either reboots or turns off. I have tried it now using OSX, Linux, and Windows 7. I have tried it on both ARHD 31.6 and ViperOne 6.2.1. I have tried just about everything except standing on my head. I have no anti-virus software running, no kies or any similar program running. I download firewater fresh each time I try. In addition to my own computers at home, I have even tried it on computers of friends, and my computers in the office, so the only common denominator is the phone itself. If you read around the different forums, this is happening to a lot of people. It doesn't seem like anyone has come up with the answer for this yet. If it would pop up saying my phone is not supported then I would quit, but I don't even get that.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xuanphucn:
yeah. At this point i don't even know whether its the phone problem or the computer problem. I highly doubt it has something to do with the phone because I tried on many different computers too:crying:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Super_Dork_42:
Firewater seems to have updated, because I redownloaded and it worked. I'm s-off, unlocked, and now rooted properly and am about to go rom flashing.

Does this issue somehow involved rumrunner/firewater? If not, maybe wrong thread.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] vanillanesquik:
Anyone know if a stock phone updated to KitKat / 1.56 is still unable to be s-off?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Souldrifter:
I guess all the talk about firewater and the last like 5+ pages of posts weren't worth reading? :p :D

Yes, it can be done with firewater and Weaksauce.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] vanillanesquik:
I browsed through them and also attempted the weak sauce/firewater method and on the first bottle phone turns off. Followed guide. I'll need to double check my firewater version I guess. The answers to the question were quite mixed.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Souldrifter:
Y'know, you're not the only person having that phone turning off issue. Some other folks in this thread did, too, and that's really perplexing to me. My own personal experience was Weaksauce 1.01, the newest version of firewater, and my stock Verizon HTC One OTA updated to 4.4.2 and 1.56.

Firewater s-off'ed my phone on the first bottle.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 71CH:
Any chance weaksauce will be updated for sense 6?

WeakSauce won't be patched to support this veresion.

I'll post another root in the near future instead.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcase:
Ok, we have a new one done, while we are not 100% sure this is something we would like to release just for 1 or 2 phones, we may choose to burn it once WeakSauce is no longer working on any device.

On the other hand, if someone wants to send me a loaner verizon m7, I could potentially turn out another one rather quickly.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 71CH:
Awesome. Please let me know if you need a tester!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nsmal24:
Have you had any luck getting an m7 loaner? I could possibly send mine, but would prefer not to as I would have to activate the old fascinate in the meantime. Thanks for your hard work.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcase:
No, but no longer needed I'm going to buy one
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nsmal24:
Great, thank you for the prompt response and continued support.

Just got my replacement with 4.4.2 -_- hope root comes along so I can S Off again...

Edit: Read things wrong...my replacement came with sense 5.5 so I was able to S Off.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nsmal24:
Should we be able to obtain root with geohot's exploit? I'm not having any luck. Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcase:
Nope, by my new one will work, cya later this week
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nsmal24:
Awesome, thanks. Happy fathers day btw.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] W0lfy B:
Awesome, really excited. Thanks a lot man.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcase:
After talking to geohot, and telling him how I maintain root on write protected devices, he is looking into adding support for such devices. In light of this, I will likely sit on my new root longer. No point in burning two bugs.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nsmal24:
Would it be possible/practical for you to deliver a /system write protection exploit that could be used in conjuction with Towelroot in its current form? Or would that be giving away too much of a new root exploit (which would still burn another of your exploits anyway). Just pondering.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcase:
No, and we dont need towel root for that
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 71CH:
Yea. Tried towelroot before seeing this thread. Didn't work. Patiently waiting :)

Ode to Root

A bit of levity...

For those of us locked in Verizon's regrime,

M7 has been an option that shines.

HTC gods among us have walked.

Jcase, beaups, and fuses all rock.

Firewater, rumrunner, weaksauce and more,

You guys can stick it to those VZW wh*res.

Geohot came to this party for money,

Waiting on fresh towels isn't even funny.

The exploit is built, the users are itching.

Please, jcase, send us a root that is bi*chin'.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brent372:
Amen to that
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] asacado:
I am personally dying to root this phone, got it with sense 6 update and want to test out the full capabilities. Jcase, I cannot wait to see the new weaksauce, thanks for all your work.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcase:
New root for m7 after it is needed on m8. Not burning multiple bugs for no good reason.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nsmal24:
Could you clarify your statement? Are you saying that your new tool/exploit does not provide root on m7?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcase:
I have no intention of releasing our new root, until it is needed on more than a one model.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] asacado:
Pretty much sums up if you have the update you aren't getting root any time soon. Might have to look at a new phone after sad news like that. But on a more positive note, we might be able to find a new exploit for the device from someone else, maybe hopefully.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] W0lfy B:
Yea really hoping someone else will figure out a new root. Not keen on waiting forever.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] asacado:
Towelroot has released v2 but seems to be updating pretty regularly. If we don't get that, no point in looking in development. Do note v2 doesn't work with the htc one m7 yet. V3 or up might.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcase:
.... Just said I'll release one as soon as another phone needs it... Is impeding m8 update
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nsmal24:
temp root

temp root is now possible for us with towelroot v3. More details in the thread below.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2795746
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 71CH:
Can we use the latest version of towelroot to temp root and then get s-off?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nsmal24:
No, firewater is patched and sunshine doesn't work for m7 yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Even when it does work. Do you wanna pay $25 to use it? That's how much it costs.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nsmal24:
Probably will pay it, but I know what you are saying.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] asacado:
Right now, sunshine doesn't work on the current ota with the vzwm7. If its our only possible alternative, I'll shell out the cost of a bottle of crappy vodka. Right now we have temp root, which is seriously a tease. I am surprised it is such a chore to get to S-Off. At least having Towelroot v3 will let some windows open up.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
From what I understand about towelroot. It won't work on 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 (I'm pretty sure we're getting 4.4.4 in the next official update) since the exploit was already patched.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] asacado:
Well the focus is what we have now. If there is absolutely no way that the phone will get rooted and/or S-off with the 4.4.2/Sense 6.0, what are the odds it will get it in a future ota? I think its a step backward to accept another ota if there is an exploit in the works. Although, there is no S-off available so ya, I digress, there might not be much future to speak of.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
If jcase said that sunshine will work for the m7 then take his word for it. There aren't many that know as much as he does about unlocking and s off. I never said there isn't any hope for the future of this device. I'm simply pointing out the the towelroot exploit was already patched.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brymaster5000:
And to further his point, jcase has a root method as he stated. He doesn't want to release with updates in the works. If he releases too soon, the exploits get patched. If at the time he updated his root for 4.4.2, there were more people requiring it and an os update not in the near future, he probably would have released.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Yup. That is exactly why towelroot was patched so quickly. He jumped the gun and updated to close to the 4.4.3/4.4.4 release.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beaups:
Wut? Towelroot was patched? Vuln used in toweroot was cve'd a month or so ago. It would have been patched whether something was released or not.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcase:
I never said this.

These are not my reasons.

This isn't correct, it was patched because comex disclosed it before geohot was aware of it. Only one android I am aware of even has it patch.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] asacado:
Well said, now about updating sunshine for the m7....[IMG="money, you can has"]http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSMCc4LbPBnP3sxssD_g2TNAm5TK-MINKK82Kjd45FFIINhYaf6YQ[/IMG]
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Neo:
Every Developer is subject to their own reasons for whether or not they choose to release their exploits. An excuse is not required nor does there need to be any rhyme or reason why an exploit hasn't been released because, quite honestly, nobody is owed anything here. I understand that there is a great level of anticipation for these updates because this right here is what allows you to proceed with full firmware customization (which is why most even come to this site).

Have patience and if the developer chooses to, an update will surface.

fyi just got this m7 verizon - came with 4.4.2, sense 6, hboot 1.57.

just another waiting for root, thanks.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] abrego47:
yea with weaksauce to root then firewater to s-off, just don't take any over the air update to sense 6 or you will not be able to at all
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] hightech316:
So the girlfriend throws the M7 out the window the other day.

Just got my replacement in.

Running Sense 5.5 . Android 4.4.2

Base band: 1.13.41.0109_2

Software Number: 3.11.605.1

Hboot: 1.56.00000

I did not take the OTA, as I have read it fixes all the exploits

On the Rumrunner website, I did not see a download for my rom version .

3.11.605.1 is the verison right?

So which one do I need to download on Rum runner?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brymaster5000:
Weaksauce, then firewater. Not rumrunner. Good luck.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] hightech316:
Thanks,

I have downloaded firewater.... Although it does not have a file extension?

Is this a shell script?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brymaster5000:
It's a binary that will execute when you type the firewater command.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] three2nine:
I'm pissed at myself because I bought the M7 in the spring, s-offed and rooted and rom'ed, but it got smashed! SO i just bought a replacement thinking that I can just s-off and reroot, but I can't. I'm dying over here! I was very willing to drop $25 for Sunshine, but it doesn't work anymore! I would still be willing to pay the money for an update.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] replica9000:
Maybe Sonic2756 is still doing the javacard thing. That's how my M7 was unlocked.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beaups:
Sunshine works fine. Come to irc if you are having issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bankanidhi:
Is sunshine is the updated rumrunner
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Read below. They are different exploits and programs altogether. Sunshine is for the updated phone whilst rumrunner can run on old firmware.

Suneshine: Sense 6

Firewater: Sense 5.5

Rumrunner: Sense 5 (and some legacy sense 4 devices like the Rezound can be used to s-off the unlocked device)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcase:
Its updated neither, its entirely new
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
It is obviously a different program and exploit completely, I apologize for using that terminology. I meant to say it is for the phone updates.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] replica9000:
I used Firewater on Sense 6 without issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
it is a very rare chance firewater on sense 6 works, as when sense 6 was rolling out, that is when HTC put in the anti-firewater patch. It is a crap-shoot on firewater working, might as well save the headache and time and use sunshine on all sense 6 updates
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] shevanel42:
So I lost my phone unfortunately and just got a new one off of ebay... hboot 1.57. I'm SOL for now, or is Sunshine an option?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carngeX:
If you're Sense 6, then Sunshine is what you'll need to use.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] shevanel42:
Yeah, dropped the $25. Totally worth it.

hi guys

i have htc one verizon 4.2.2 sense 5.0

i tried s-off with rumrunner 5.0

stuck at waiting adb (120/120)

usb connection error....

how to fix it ?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Be sure you aren't using a USB hub (use the USB 2.0 ports built in to the motherboard, not the "hub" connecting the front case USB ports, or a PCI USB card).

Be sure you are using the stock HTC USB cable, not a cheap one that doesn't have the correct data capacity.

Be sure HTC Sync is UNINSTALLED.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] kubo_yosiharu:
yes i'm using htc cable original from the box

htc sync uninstalled ( samsung kies, and the others uninstalled)

adb connection ok ( i can see my device attached )

i enable usb debug

fastboot disabled

run as administrator soju.exe

rebooting to bootloader....

(after rebooting i check usb debug was disabled)

waiting for adb (120/120)

usb connection error

FIX IT, yes, YOU fix it!! Press ENTER to exit

ENTER to exit
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
After you run soju.exe, does it reboot to bootloader? Or did you boot it to bootloader?

USB debug resetting to off isn't normal. OP says to go to #rumrunners on andirc or freenode for issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] kubo_yosiharu:
yes after i run soju.exe

the device reboot to bootloader

i didnt touch it

after reboot to booloader , then it reboot again to normal screen
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
I still don't understand why USB debugging would disable itself. That is your issue. That is why there is a connection error. Go to #rumrunners and see if they can help.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rkmFL:
I was fortunate to buy several HTC ONE M7's (M7VZW) that are still running

HBOOT 1.54

w/

Sense 5.0

I was so excited, I immediately went to download the latest Firewater and realized it's been discontinued.

I remembered that [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] also wrote RumRummer so I verified that I have the necessary prerequisites, tested ADB/FASTBOOT mode prior to running to be sure I as able to push files, etc ... Then gave RumRunner a shot.

Based on the RumRunner website, I wash't sure if I should use the new "Universal" or original VZW option. I went with the original VZW option because [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] once mentioned that the Universal and International install instructions are the same, which is slightly different from the VZW approach.

I ran with RumRummer v.10.605.15 (file: rumrunner_m7wlv_1.10.605.15.zip). Everything went great, until the "Shot Glass" step.

Once it reached the "Shot Glass" step, it would reboot to full Android OS, wait about a minute, then reboot again. It would then wait on device, repeat the message, and repeat the entire process again.

I let it continue for about 30 minutes, a couple dozen iterations. I eventually escaped the batch file and restarted to see if it might have worked, but I'm still locked/S-ON.

Thank you in advance for any input!

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beaups:
You need to run the version of rumrunner that matches your software build number. If your build number is newer that any of the build numbers listed on the rumrunner site for vzw devices, that means you have a build that has patched rumrunner. In that case, you'd need to use sunshine.

Also, there are no batch files in rumrunner.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rkmFL:
I'm an idiot! I had read this in your instructions, but when viewing the download links, I thought I was looking at your revisions, not the HTC software version!

I just sent a donation. Thank you for everything you do, and for taking the time to reply here.

Turns out I have v1.10.605.8 and Rumrunner worked great.

For future users who stumble on my question, to clarify, the "HTC Universal Rumrummer" will *not* run on Verizon HTC One's, even if you are running Sense 5.0. You must lookup your software version at:

Settings > Software Information > Software Number > ​

And download the matching RumRummer version.

[MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] - Quick question. If I upload the stock HBOOT with yours ( hboot_rumrunner_vzw.zip ), I get my full set of FASTBOOT commands, which is great. I'm just curious, is there any down-side to this (other than the "risk" disclaimer)?

Thanks again!

RKM
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rkmFL:
[MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] - It seems there may be an issue with the v1.10.605.10 version of RumRunner, specifically.

I've tried the .8 and .15 with no problem - works perfect. Not the slightest glitch. I then tried the .10 version on two different phones running .10, about four times each phone, and in every case, it gets to the "FATAL: F*ck it" mode. I let it run in each case for about 20 minutes, then stop the app.

The interesting thing is ... RunRunner doesn't seem like it should be in the FATAL mode, because it attempts to boot into the bootloader, does that successfully, and everything is working fine (I can access FASTBOOT from my command prompt) but the app then claims that it's FATAL.

I can reboot the phone and go back into working with the original OS, no problem at all. Again, this is *only* on the Bootloader v1.54, Software version v1.10.605.10 -- all others work perfect.

Thank you in advance!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beaups:
Go ahead and try it again now.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rkmFL:
Wow, you're amazing, it now works great! Thank you!

I had accidentally re-run RumRunner on one of the phones and received the:
