Same problem here. It just doesn't want to execute the file. I experienced this before, months ago (first time doing s-off with a different phone), re-downloading it on my computer (using chrome) and works, so initial file is corrupted or unfinished downloading.

[MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION], [MENTION=4519372]Fuses[/MENTION], Could the firewater file itself get changed/corrupted without even touching it, could be for security, host-wise or client-wise?

It was working yesterday, no problem, PC and/or phone can execute firewater (I was looking for the right ROM to s-off). But now it doesn't. I haven't changed anything off my computer, I did changed my ROM. But I am now back to the ROM that it was working yesterday.

An xda member mentioned somewhere on the M8 forum that it could be the service provider caching the file. I don't know if I'm just unlucky but I tried downloading both either from my phone data and wifi but they have the same checksum. So both of my providers are caching the file?

This is my checksum for everytime I download from the website, either from phone (Mobile Data) or WiFi and Wifi-PC (chrome and IE):

MD5: a81c413b9f076c980a89a9464fbb1d8b

Forgot to mention, I am downloading off this link: http://firewater-soff.com/firewaterdownload-3

BTW, awesome work mates! Keep up the good work!

[MENTION=5116541]Danny201281[/MENTION], your MD5 is the same as mine for both files. So confirmed that that MD5 is not working?

PS.

It will be a good idea to remove your link asap.

[One (M7) General] nossman:
Hi,

Did you find a resolution to your problem?

I have the same issue + I cannot instal recovery. It gives me error: cannot load recovery recovery.img. I searched other forums but there is no resulution that would work in my case.
[One (M7) General] CamoGeko:
Are you trying to flash custom recovery manually via fastboot?

Sounds like you don't have it in the same location as your fastboot and adb files. That's why it's unable to find it.
[One (M7) General] nossman:
I have installed brand new ADB. Placed recovery inside of platform-tools and ran CMD from the same folder. It takes other commands however CANNOT LOAD RECOVERY.IMG
[One (M7) General] CamoGeko:
Hmm.. could be a bad download? Or the img file isnt actually an img file
[One (M7) General] nossman:
I tried like 5 or 6 different recovery files. BTW all of them did not have .img extention so I tried flashing AS IS and also tried flashing after manually adding .img - same result. I am not a tech or a comp wiz and I am braking my head with this problem :(
[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
Try typing the start of the command

fastboot flash recovery

Then drag and drop the recovery file into the command window. It will add the full path to the file completing the command.

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

Also it's worth knowing, if your using Windows which it sounds as if you are. Windows appends file extentions.

So even though the .img extention exists it won't show in the file name but you still have to add the .img extension to the fastboot command when flashing in fastboot.

So if you change the file name and add .img so the name shows recovery.img Windows will still append the .img extension and you get recovery.img.img

You can check if this has happened by looking at the properties for the .img file. You may see the file name as recovery.img.img
[One (M7) General] deejay89:
firts thing: go to your control panel, next to "folder options" and "view" tab, make sure that you have UNmarked "Hide extensions for known file types"

next download your twrp recovery and change it name to "recovery.img", copy and paste it to your adb folder, then type in adb:

"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", not "fastboot flash recovery" like mate Danny201281 above suggest.
[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
Did you even read my whole post? Clearly not as you would have noticed the part about dragging the .img file into the command window

By doing this it will complete the "fastboot flash recovery" command by automatically adding the full path to the .img file. This way the location of the file and exact file name and extension are added to the command removing any chance of errors in typing.

[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
You just need to try a different Rom? Didn't you get s-off before?
[One (M7) General] gelo01:
i've bought another one (dev edition) and sold my last one. but unfortunately this one is much harder to gain s-off. i dunno if the 1501 emmc chip is the cause of that. i've already tried maxHD and ARHD. with bulletproof 14.2 as well but with no luck. :(
[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
Mmm I was going to suggest the same Rom as last time but with a different handset may need different Rom.

1501 emmc should s-off with firewater. Just keep trying. Try some stock roms. Older stock roms have worked well for me but mine not a dev edition. Try a guru reset Rom from htc1guru.com just select the option to root and no stock recovery in aroma.
[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-22-1540-1-zip/

Try this dev edition reset zip. Install root but not stock recovery. Also the stock kernel should work as it was before Anti Firewater patch was introduced.
[One (M7) General] GuitarFan:
Should my HTC One be rooted for S-OFF? I'm doing S-OFF only for because i need to do root on my phone, and for root Kingo Android Root asks me to S-OFF at first. I didn't find any general root threads here. I shoul do S-OFF first to get root? Now i have Hboot 1.57.0000 and unlocked bootloader.
[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
You don't need s-off to be rooted, but you do need to be rooted to gain s-off.

If your bootloader is unlocked, why don't you just flash a custom recovery. It will root the phone for you. Simples ;)
[One (M7) General] GuitarFan:
Thank you for your answer. Ok, now i've understand that i don't need to S-OFF.

What do you mean, when you said "flash a cusom recovery"? Sorry, my English is bad. What exactly custom recovery does with my phone? I only need root, without any other changes. Is that what i need? Where i can get this instruction (for root)?

A big problem

Hi guys

I own a HTC One m7_u and I am running stock firmware, rooted and bootloader unlocked. Hboot 1.57

From past few days i have been trying to install a custom rom using TWRP but it always failed, i have tried Paranoid mod then Pacman mod but always failed, i have even softbricked my phone and was unable to connect to PC but luckily find that i can restore to stock firmware.

I am also unable to install Busybox i dont know why

Then i searched web for possible answers and find that i need to S-Off my device then i tried rumrunner , it doesnt work after that i tried firewater and i gives me the Whelp message

Then i found a post which says to do S Off using firewater and install CM11 and some kernel BLA BLA BLA

then i tried flashing CM11 but no luck It wasnt installing .. Now i am tired but i want Custom Rom so badly

So plz advice me the possible solutions :cyclops:

[One (M7) General] gelo01:
I just want to ask before i proceed.. do i have to do anything first before flashing this? Like, relocking bootloader or reverting back to stock ROM? I'm currently on MaxHD 44, stock kernel, hboot 1.57, firmware 6.14.707 (i'm not sure of the exact, but i know it's the latest update for WWE cid). Thank you!
[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
No special requirements, you only want the Rom to try to s-off. Firmware and recovery version is not an issue. This is no different to installing a custom Rom.

Just make a nandroid of your current setup, flash the Rom, try to s-off. Weather it works or not once your done just restore your nandroid to get back to where you started. Hopefully with s-off. :)
[One (M7) General] gelo01:
Okay mate. I'm gonna do it later, hopefully nothing bad will happen through the process and yes, hopefully with S-Off. I just can't live without it. Hehe. :) I'll report back here if anything peculiar came up. Thanks again mate! :)

Have you launched the supersu app to make sure the binary's are up to date.

Remember this is an old Rom with old binary's.

Also once you updated binary if needed, check the superSu settings. Set default access to grant and check allow supersu during boot.

I am not used to using command prompt, am I doing something wrong?

I'm gonna try one more time.. it seems that firewater hate my device. Haha! bulletproof 8.1 is compatible with 4.3 sense 5.5? But am i seeing the correct information about Kernel version in about phone? it says 3.4.10-gfa33c1e aaron@bella #81 SMP PREEMPT. is that correct? did i flash Bulletproof 8.1 correctly? I remembered when i flashed elementalX, it was indicated in the kernel version..

But a little OT: I noticed that Android 4.3 Sense 5.5 is REALLY battery efficient compared to Android 4.4.3 Sense 6. The thing is, i didn't even lose 1% of the battery overnight (7 hrs of sleep), makes me want to stay and stick with Android 4.3 but then again, there's so much i will be missing if without Sense 6. Hehe. :)

EDIT: Guess i have to live with S-On. The guru reset which took me back to Android 4.3/Sense 5.5 also doesn't allow me to gain S-Off even on stock kernel or bulletproof 8.1. I don't know what am i missing here, but thanks for all the assistance and help, [MENTION=5116541]Danny201281[/MENTION]. :)

Don't mention it, I'm glad to help. I'm curious as to what the problem might actually be though, I noticed TWRP 2.8 was mysteriously slow at loading up, and it took AGES to install ROMS.

Hi,

I got also a-off with 1.57 and originally stock rom 4.4.2 and bulletproof 14.2 kernel. I think it's very important to use the same radio in the firmware. Then step by step firewater installation and first-time s-off...good luck guys
[One (M7) General] CamoGeko:
Radio I'm not sure, but it's important to use the same stock ROM that your phone came with. Do not flash any custom ROMs until you're S-OFF.

Use oem stock rom 4.4.2 and change kernel for bulletproof 14.2. Works very good.
