I'm getting same result, it just gives up after chugging. I'm on 4.4.2 stock, hboot 1.56
[One (M7) General] papei:
Same here. I am also on 4.4.2 with hboot 1.56. Do we see a pattern here guys?
[One (M7) General] Child's Play:
Ur phone is probably not supported
[One (M7) General] ijeenyus:
That's what I was afraid of. I hope the devs plan on updating their tool. If so a donation would be sent.
[One (M7) General] Child's Play:
My phone is not supported either. I ran rumrunner
[One (M7) General] papei:
I don't think it is the phone. It seems to me that those that got the latest OTA firmware update before unlocking the bootloader and rooting are the ones having the problem getting s-off. That is exactly what I did. I should of held off on the last update. Too late now. I will have to wait an see.

I started asking myself if I really need s-off. I flashed CM 11 without any problems with s-on. I am a fan from cyanogenmod so I will undoubtedly stay with them. The only thing s-off would offer me right now, is that I would have the ability to remove apps that are located in /system/app. On stock sense that is where all the bloatware is located and without s-off the bloatware is untouchable, even if you are rooted. But there are very few apps in cyanogenmod that I really don't need. With s-on you still have the possibility to freeze system apps with titanium backup.

I guess I could also say that with s-on I still do not have the feeling that I have complete ownership and control of the phone I bought. Perhaps that is reason enough to keep trying.
[One (M7) General] MrFEr:
I had the latest update and I was able to achieve S-OFF...
[One (M7) General] papei:
Interesting. My assumption was based on what I was reading in this thread here:

> HTC One > One Original Android Development > [s-off] rumrunner s-off

I may be wrong. I hope I am! :)
[One (M7) General] Child's Play:
If u remove system apps, u wont be able to update ota
[One (M7) General] Seanie280672:
Im having a slight problem with trying to S-off using firewater or maybe its my ADB, my phone is plugged into my laptop, it can see it in device manager, USB debugging is connected, however when I type ADB devices its says:

List of devices attached

************** offline ???????????????? wtf

obviously I cant continue with firewater as the first command required is adb reboot, and the response is error: device offline, ummmmmmmmm no its not !!!!!!!!!!!

I just got this phone and cant stand the thought of it being S-ON for 1 more min, its driving me :silly:, its a HTC One M7_UL in the UK on Vodafone, Android 4.4.2, sense 5.5, HBOOT 1.56, USB debugging is enabled, also rooted and bootloader unlocked, running TWRP recovery ans SuperSU 1.80, so im guessing its not my ADB or fastboot.

Also you should know that ive installed the latest version of HTC sync and drivers, then removed HTC sync leaving just the drivers.
[One (M7) General] papei:
If you unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, and root I don't think you will be able to update ota either.
[One (M7) General] Seanie280672:
No you cant, you must have stock recovery, HBOOT etc to update, quite easy to do though, just find the small firmware package from within the update and flash it, it contains the key ingredients.
[One (M7) General] Child's Play:
Unplug the usb cable and reboot ur phone. When u plug the usb cable in, a msg will appear on ur device sayin allow debugging through this computer? Tap yes

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

U r right. If u wanna update ota, flash stock rom then flash stock recovery then relock the bootloader
[One (M7) General] lilbluemirage:
Have you enabled Developer Options and checked USB DeBugging?
[One (M7) General] ijeenyus:
Try "adb kill-server" then try adb devices again
[One (M7) General] Stevak:
I also had the same problem ...

I lost a whole night ...

I was using an old adb.

Make sure that the adb version is 1.0.31+
[One (M7) General] Seanie280672:
Yes developer options enabled, also it was an adb problem, updated it to the lastest and it started to work, however ive just been greated with a lovely message after fighting for an hour to get it to work which says:

whelp, this sucks, firewater cannot work on your device

no amount of re-flashing, re-trying, or running will fix........

DO NOT COME TO IRC ASKING FOR UPDATES OR ETAS!!!!!!

if we are able to fix this issue, it will be announced

bye bye............sorry it didnt work

Guess i'll have to wait to get S-OFF or try another method.
[One (M7) General] ferincr:
Oh well...

I'm not lucky either.

I just got my ONE back from repair, Hboot 1.56 I Unlocked it, tried rumrunner and firewater both in two different USB 2.0 ports with to different cables ARHD 53 and ARHD 62.

PC running Win 7 64.

Firewater does not even start I get everything done an fte I enter /data/local/tmp/firewater it just gives me the shell again and that's it nothing else...

Rumrunner just goes to pouring 8 and then wait 30 seconds reboot pray run it again. :(:(:(

I guess 'll need to wait unti I have a change to try a different PC
[One (M7) General] papei:
Yep. Exactly my situation.

Cracked open 10 bottles and S-OFF'ed beautifully. Hboot 1.56.

Cheers
[One (M7) General] chickentuna:
Hboot 1.56 here and no luck. It says outright that it won't work on my device and no amount of reflashing will work. Really don't understand why it works for some and doesn't with others.
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
Your CPU is of an older version, if I remember correctly. Like if yours is xxxxxA, then you need xxxxxB or something like that (don't remember the specifics).
[One (M7) General] hp13:
Try it on a different PC. Mine was a 1.56 and firewater worked very well on first try.

Just follow the steps carefully and sure you will have success :)

But you can still flash sense based Roms with s-off .. Only GOOGLE PLAY ED requires s-off.
[One (M7) General] nateboi81:
Nope. When Firewater says it won't work on your device it won't work. Another pc won't fix it
[One (M7) General] Seanie280672:
Ive heard that if I flash a different ROM with a different kernel it may work, however what I would really like to know is how do I flash a kernel when im S-ON ?

Some people have said use ARHD and other to try CM11.
[One (M7) General] daanismyname:
When Firewater says it will not work on your device, will there be a chance that in the future it WILL work, or will it never work?
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
It'll be a cold day in hell before it'll work.
[One (M7) General] daanismyname:
Hm, so my One will probably never be S-Off, even when an updated tool might come out?
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
I don't think they'll ever support it. Or maybe they will.
[One (M7) General] CamoGeko:
You have to flash boot.img via fastboot.

[One (M7) General] Child's Play:
Yes. Its ok to remove it
[One (M7) General] Seanie280672:
So its not down to the kernel then ?

Is it more of a hardware issue ?

Ive read that some people who have flashed custom rom's after failing on Rumrunner or Firewater, have succeeded after flashing a custom Rom.
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
I dunno. I thought I read it was because of the CPU revision.
[One (M7) General] SciLove:
Any way someone can share some more info on this method or if it is actually plausible? I've been searching all over the place for a way to s-off my M8 and all I've found is the resounding "sorry, you'll just have to wait, there's no other way"
[One (M7) General] chickentuna:
Yeah that's probably it. Tried a couple of times and it's time to give up. Oh well it is what it is, would like to flash GE roms but it ain't gonna happen for now. I can only hope that someone is working on this.

you both have problems with your computer connectivity like old adb, HTC driver, antivirus,

It usually single time disconnected & connect try a new Windows system with driver adb w/o antivirus

[One (M7) General] papei:
I don't know. I have tried firewater on mac, windows 7, and linux, with the same result on each platform. On both my mac, and my linux computer I have never had anti-virus software, so that rules that out. I have also tried rumrunner on my windows 7 machine, and tonight I gave it a spin on my linux machine. Both turned the same result. I will get to the bottom of it. For now I have run out of things to try. Time to step back, take a breath and go at it another time.
[One (M7) General] ferincr:
Yes, I'm not at home now so I'm stuck with my one laptop for some time I'll try other pc's once I go home again (like in a month or so) but I'll keep checking here periodically to see if any of the others with my same issues find a solution...

Hello,

I tried to go S-OFF with Firewater. I did the things like in the tutorial, but nothing happend after the shell. So i entered /data/local/tmp/firewater and nothing happened.

Ihave HBOOT 1.56 and the CID VODAP-110. The i need S-OFF to repair my Phone, because my IMEI is gone.

Hope for good answers!

Hey guys.

I want to try firewater on an german HTC One from Vodafone with Hboot 1.56.

It's unlocked via HTC dev, rooted and it runs the HD Revolution 31.6 rom right now.

If I'm try firewater now, could it brick my phone in any way? Could this happen if the exploid didn't work and I did everything as it should?

Or am I safe to try it - and maybe i got luck, maybe not? If not I restart my phone and everything is still fine?

You won't brick it. It will either work or not work

firewater deleting on execute

I have been trying to get firewater to work for a day now. I am positive I am following the instructions, I do the adb reboot. I definitely have root access. However, when I go to execute the file with "/data/local/tmp/firewater" nothing happens. I don't get any warning message. What is worst is as soon as I try executing it, it disappears! It seems like something is detecting it and deletes the file.

I tried setting the permissions to 555 to see if that prevented the deletion. It did not. I thought about moving the file out of tmp in case the system is cleaning tmp. However, I am afraid of bricking the phone if firewater doesn't like that.

Has anyone run into this? What ports does firewater communicate over? Is it possible for the above to happen if a firewall is blocking access to the internet?
[One (M7) General] beaups:
Redownload firewater.
[One (M7) General] ferincr:
Wow!!!!!That did it!!!!!

It went throught smooth and fast!!!!

Thanks a lot, now I need to get rid of the annoying "tampered"

Thanks again!!!
[One (M7) General] apoptosis66:
Worked, kind of!

I was able to get s-off after a new download!

The new download instead of deleting the file told me I did not have root. Which was weird because I know the device is rooted. Turns out for some reason adb shell won't let me "su". It looks like it succeeds but it doesn't. I actually ended up running firewater in a terminal window right on device.

There is obviously something I don't understand about root and adb. However, I am happy just to have s-off. Thank you much.

Now if I could only get the speakerphone working on CM :)

[One (M7) General] Super_Dork_42:
Is there a way to permanently root before s-off? Because weaksauce isn't activating early enough for either firewater or rumrunner to work, but it doesn't say I'll never get it to work, just that I don't have root at one point.

EDIT - Never mind, apparently WeakSauce didn't work right. I uninstalled, hard booted, and reinstalled a few times and it finally worked. We'll see if that makes it work. Just need to make a titanium backup of all my apps, get that to my computer, and then try it out again.

EDIT 2 - Nope, after the first bottle it restarts the phone but exits firewater and the adb console.

[One (M7) General] papei:
I can't figure that out either. Just as you, when I go into adb shell, I am already logged in a root user, as would be indicated by the # prompt. Principally, typing su is meaningless at this point. I have tried this with various roms, stock rooted. ARHD, ViperOne. All give the same result.

[MENTION=5788769]ronaldo80[/MENTION] Sorry mate. A bit busy and not manage to join xda. We have almost the same version.

I not sure either version-main give an impact on this but I have read somewhere that there is people failed with different version main(I not a developer. I believe developer/other can give answer on this).

This is my version-main.

(bootloader) version-main: 4.20.707.6

I not sure about ARHD (I think it was the same). My step was purely base on stock Sense ROM.

Like you, I have try a few method including WeakSauce and I failed. Before I found out that rooting using stock Sense kernel is not working (I don't think I can say it not fully root the phone. I just could not find the exact word for it. Coz when I run a busybox or something else that need root {I could not remember what the software is it, it keep asking me to root the phone} ).

That made me add step no 4 (which is to install another kernel). In this case, I use Bulletproof-m7-14.1 (not Bulletproof-m7-14.2 which is the latest. So I not sure if you running on the latest version and it failed).

Once done, I proceed with firewater with this step.

adb reboot (<--- important!!!!)

adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp

adb shell

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater

su

/data/local/tmp/firewater

It just sits their.I was wondering if im typing something wrong or if any one has any ideas,I had phone rooted with s off and was trying to go back to stock for return to htc and now it says locke and s off and still has custom rom on it and need to get back so i can return it so they dont charge credit card
[One (M7) General] CamoGeko:
Dont worry about making it S-ON, just lock the bootloader and send it back.
[One (M7) General] fuzzylax:
My next question is what should I do about custom rom and recovery.Think what you are saying it's put new ruu on it so it's factory?if that is what you are saying then do I need to rename to rom.zip or just leave it.I've been doing some reading and I think that's the route I need to take? Or other suggestions would greatly appreciated..Think I might have figured it out..need decrypted ruu.down loading now will let you know the results.so after getting decrypted Ruu and running it twice all is good back to 4.3 and totally stock.New phone is recognized by adb but days offline anyone have ideas? I know drivers are good and usb debugging checked and fastboot unchecked

[One (M7) General] Super_Dork_42:
Well, thanks to Firewater, I finally just got s-off. Apparently the thing that wasn't working right before was a registry fixer thing on my pc. Once I got rid of it (didn't need it or want it in the first place after it fixed one dll error) it all worked fine. Now to root permanently and flash a recovery, then I can put CM on this thing and run fast and awesome. :) Thanks for your work.

Buying an HTC device to run CM on it? That's weird.

[One (M7) General] Super_Dork_42:
Maybe, but buying an HTC because it's an awesome device and knowing that (except for verizon) HTC will help unlock it and make it easy to do that stuff is less odd. I wish I had known that verizon was such a bunch of poop-faces about unlocking bootloaders/gaining s-off and root. Still, it's nice to know it all works now. S-off, unlocked bootloader, rooted, custom recovery, all that stuff. I'm happy.

Plus, the speakers on this thing ensure I'll never need to buy bluetooth speakers to hear the music out loud.

That's fair enough mate, to each their own.

May I ask how new this version is? I tried to s-off my device 2 days ago, but didn't work out and I don't remember what version was that. If this one is newer then I will certainly try when get home tonight.
[One (M7) General] papei:
I had been trying for the longest time. The phone would always reboot after chugging the first bottle. Sometimes it would just shut down and I would have to do a hard reboot. I always looked that I downloaded the latest version of firewater. Last night I downloaded firewater S-OFF 8.0.5.15. As usual, the phone rebooted after chugging the first bottle. Since I had had a few beers, and it was almost midnight, I tried it again. This time though I just got lazy. After rebooting the phone I went into the adb shell, su, then navigated to /data/local/tmp, then did ./firewater. This time it got to the second bottle and the phone shut down. This was the first time that I got beyond the first bottle. That encouraged me to try it one more time, so I rebooted the device and did it again. After rebooting, I went into the adb shell, su, then navigated to /data/local/tmp, then did ./firewater. This time it went all the way. All I can say is, if you haven't gotten the whelp rejection, if your phone reboots shortly after starting firewater, keep trying. And when you finally have success, please support the developers by donating.
