Hello, I am trying to S-off my HTC One 4.4.2 and I already installed weaksauce and everything is working correctly.

Its just when I say yes in the cmd for firewater to start. It only completes 1 or 2 bottles and then just stops. Any help?

Do you understand the implications of these warnings?

Worked very well, the temproot did take the whole 10 minutes, but after that firewater S-OFF'd on the first bottle (was on Android 4.3). Thanks!
[One (M7) General] :
Did you used the temproot from the firewater website?
[One (M7) General] KiraYahiroz:
Yup. Worked fine for me.
[One (M7) General] SickL1408:
Can someone please post a detailed instructions on what to do to push the file to the device and how to set permissions etc.? I cant S-off by the Rumrunner method and this is perhaps the only way I can S-off my device :/ Help would be appreciated, thanks.
[One (M7) General] shuflie:
If you need detailed instructions it's all in the first post, follow either the rooted set if you have a rooted rom, or the temproot method if you haven't unlocked and rooted.
[One (M7) General] Steph09:
You need to download firewater (and temproot for option 2) and place them in the same folder where you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe.

From within this folder tou have to open the command promt. Press shift + right click and chose open command promt. Or search your pc for "cmd" (an .exe file) and right click on this and chose copy. Paste this .exe file in the same folder as mentioned before.

Now, once you open the command prompt here, just start typing the commands that are shown in the instructions starting with "adb reboot". All these commands refer to the actions "push, prepare and execute". Just put in the commands correctly and at the end, if it works, you should see an output telling you that your device is s-off (Firewater didnt work for me but I did manage to push, prepare and execute).

Make sure you have all the requirements in check before starting. Good luck!

Tried it over 10 times with no luck on T-Mobile DE 3.63.111.3. It didn't even succeeded with stock rooted 3.62.401.1.

There must be some fix on latest T-Mob DE firmware that prevents the exploit.
[One (M7) General] :
Same problem here without Branding.

But it's a known problem, a lot of people have this problem.

Hopefully it will be fixed :/

There are many S-OFF threads for the Evita. Facepalm, Rumrunner, a few AIOs. I used an AIO for my original HOXL (can't remember which atm, though). The Universal Rumrunner works for that device, too. I just used it on my bro's HOXL.

Using a S-OFF method from the ONE forums might work, but I' definitely try to find something from the HOXL forums first.

I hate to ask thi but.....I have an HTC one on 4.3 can I use this new tool to get unlocked and rooted? Also if I did update to the new 4.4 OTA can this tool still be used?

i'm also one of the t-mobile branded people who can't achieve S-off via firewater :/

Thanks, I didnt want to root thats why I wanted to try firewsater since there was a chance that it would work. But it didnt. For me at least! So I used facepalm and Im s-off. Thanks ;)

please developers see if you got some magic left for us.....:(
[One (M7) General] globalgpj:
Hi,

You can get it all back to stock, but with so many threads and options, it seems like a tough journey at times.

I just went through 12 hours of trying dozens of things to finally a great op help me out. It was totally frustrating until then.

Here is the process that worked for me that nik77 gave to me. He is very helpful. You can see his thread and also post your queries there if I can't seem to help you any further.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541082

His advice is to do the following.

1. S-OFF,

2. Remove TAMPERED

3. LOCKED

4. Install RUU

5. S-ON

Because I was going back to stock, and I didn't notice that I did something in the process that gave me the TAMPERED flag again, I had to UNLOCK and S-OFF my device again.

Revone worked the best for me along with a few other tools.

I changed my H-Boot to H-1.44 and installed a particular custom ROM that was reported to work well with REVONE in order to get the device to S-OFF again, before I could do any of the other steps. If you are S-OFF already, follow the above steps and you should not have a problem.

Some tools work better than others, it all depends on which H-Boot version you are running.

Here are some of my steps/commands that may help you.

As I had locked my device at one point, I had to unlock it again in order to get S-OFF again, in order to remove "TAMPERED" etc..

I also had to change my CID from SUPERCID- 11111111 to HTC__001. I also had to change my H-Boot to 1.44. One can find links on the web to do this easily.

1. I used HTCdev to unlock my device using their guidelines and the unlock_code.bin that they provide once you submit your code for unlocking.

2. I download Revolution ROM 9.4 and copied it to my device and then used twrp 2.6.3.3 to install the ROM.

3. I then was able to go S-OFF using REVONE software. It worked brilliantly with the right ROM and H-Boot.

4a. I then removed TAMPERED and changed my device's bootloader to "LOCKED using these commands that other contributors have given.

4b. To Remove TAMPERED,

enter the following:

adb devices

adb shell

su (if needed to get a # prompt)

echo -ne '\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 bs=1 seek=4265988

(i would very strongly recomend you copy/paste this)

exit

(exit a second time if you need to to get back to a normal > prompt)

adb reboot bootloader

verify tamered is gone

4c.RESET TO "LOCKED"

to LOCK your bootloader,enter the following:

adb devices

adb shell

su (if needed to get a # prompt)

echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796

(i would very strongly recomend you copy/paste this)

exit

(exit a second time if you need to to get back to a normal > prompt)

adb reboot bootloader

verify you are now locked

5. Then I loaded a RUU OF my CHOICE

6. Then I SET - ( S-ON )

http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/return-stock-guide/

using this command:

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me.

Again a Special thanks to nkk71 for all his help.
[One (M7) General] CamoGeko:
You could give up and realise that you can't S-OFF?

When you purchase an HTC device, especially if it isn't an International model you always risk of not being able to S-OFF.

Thats just the price you pay.

What's the problem? We don't share exploit details. It wouldn't help you anyways. Get over it.
[One (M7) General] Snusdus:
First of, I appreciate your work. Great job on firewater.

Sencondly, couldn't you tell us a little about why it's happening or if it will be possible to fix (or if you are already working on it). I don't think he meant that you should share any of your work but rather some information about the problems. I mean, there are a lot of users who appreciates the work you do and it would be fun to at least know some general info about what's wrong.

Have a continued great evening.
[One (M7) General] jcase:
The error code gives you the answer, it is not going to work. You want detailed answers? This exploit is not going to work, its a fact, the reason why really doesn't matter unless you have the ability to develop such an exploit yourself, and in that case you don't need beaups help.

He has chosen to give the exploit away for free, and has given the answer that it will not work on your device, and nothing is going to change that. Accept it, thank him for what he has done, and move on. His choice to keep his code and details confidential are his alone. While much of what is on XDA is open source, and all (should be) is free, it doesn't mean he has to give everyone the world.

I could give you detailed answers, but really unless you want to spend days reverse engineering the exploit, and the device itself you have no idea if I am telling you the truth. Either way, they are of value to very few people.

Your device has revision 2013XXXX049B CPU, you need one with 2013XXXX049C or newer. You can determine this by reading the qfuse values of the device. Your solution would be to replace the mainboard in your device with a newer one, or buy a different phone.

does it mean, i have temproot?

[One (M7) General] cyrusct82:
Have you tried the Weaksauce exploit to root? If not maybe it will work. If yes maybe the temproot or weaksauce exploit doesn't work for you (that's why you can't see the /data/local/tmp folder) and you must use the HTCdev to unlock boatloader> install custom recovery> root>s-off

[One (M7) General] The French Tickl3r:
its nice to have closure. ty jcase for elaborating on the source of the problem
[One (M7) General] beaups:
Yes, it sure is *nice* to disclose exploit details to people browsing this thread that consist of:

1.) People who will never be able to use the information for anything productive.

2.) People who will use the information to patch these holes.

Jcase was just making a point. And responses like this confirm #1 in that list above.

It should not be hard to understand that disclosing ANYTHING related to these exploits will shorten their useful lives.

People who don't agree with this strategy can find their own exploits and publish them in a more open manner.
