It is down to hardware and more specifically your cpu revision. I don't recall the full details but unless beaups states otherwise, you can never s-off if you receive the "firewater can not work on your device" message.

Why there was this update then? Do not think that they are working to solve this problem? if not impossible

thanks alot for the awesome guide and help!
[One (M7) General] rasstar:
Did anyone that got a whelp not supported message eventually get it done or is that not possible?
[One (M7) General] Rix70:
my one have hboot 1.57 and new firmware sense 6...s-off is possible?

do not work with 1.56 and 401.11...many many many guys don't go in off!!

please stop saying that it works .. it is not true! work for some people NOT for all .
[One (M7) General] jeremy86:
Can u develop how u succeed to get s-off with hboot 1.56 ?

Which rom do u use ?
[One (M7) General] forziere:
I arrive in this point when it ask me yes or no.. but it doesn't go on!!

how can I do?
[One (M7) General] beaups:
Yes != yes
[One (M7) General] forziere:
I write always yes! look the photo!
[One (M7) General] seqas:
yea i can tell sorry, im no near a dev just a regular person who is curious and stubborn lol. first time im having s-off so i guess a regular noob haha :P so explaining im not able to, only to tell how i did :)

anyway,

the instructions provided in few topics with firewater actually works fine i found out since near same way if not same, i was going to edit but had to wait before i could was in hurry going out.

i tried with other different roms ones which didnt work

had Eragon v41.5 which i still have, i used firewater

not sure im allowed posting other site here than an xda one, if i can then let me know

the method however should be already on forum, i used guide for the m8 but having m7 anyhow it worked so :p

didnt really do other i believe than what many topics already says. on my htc one m7 it took no time and then was s-off

guess im just lucky lol.

i had already had the adb etc installed but didnt work before (if due to the rom it worked now i dont know)

anyway i found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

installed, was straight forward.

i did copy this below so i take no credit what so ever, credit goes to the person of the site it was written in :)

happy if it can help anyone else tho.

1. Download the adb-fastboot installer and save it to your desktop.

2. Double click it to begin installation.

3. Type Y for all questions and continue through the prompts.

4. Download the firewater exploit from the developer’s page (link available under the Instructions section) and save it INSIDE the adb-fastboot folder inside C:/adb/ (needs to be in the same folder as adb).

5. Plug in your HTC One M8 via USB to your computer.

6. Hold Shift and right-click on any empty space in the adb folder and click on Open command prompt window here to open up a CMD prompt window.

7. Type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line in the command prompt window:

adb reboot

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

adb shell

su

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater

/data/local/tmp/firewater

8. Type in Yes when prompted and hit enter.

9. When it is done and says you have S-Off, type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:

exit

exit

adb reboot bootloader

10. When the device reboots, it should say S-Off at the top. If so, you are all set.

11. Use the volume buttons to navigate to Reboot and push the power button to select it.
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
You have to write it like this:

Yes

With a big Y. You write it: "yes" with a small y.
[One (M7) General] seqas:
not sure if writing in fun? but as the guy above says, it have to be capital Y not y
[One (M7) General] beaups:
Do you honestly not see the difference between "Yes" and "yes"? Do you have a key on your keyboard to the left of the "z" key?....
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
Mind you, the left shift key isn't always directly left of the z key. We Nords have this little bugger directly left.
[One (M7) General] forziere:
incredible I don't think it cause a problem . I'll try with Yes :)
[One (M7) General] DBCoop:
Haha this is hilarious. I really wish my problem with S-OFF and Firewater was not knowing how to use capitalization on a keyboard :(

What message did you receive when it failed ? You did not get a "whelp, this sucks" message right ? Does not seem to work on my HTC One m7.

For the 50,000th time. If you get that message you will ALWAYS get that message.
[One (M7) General] rasstar:
I see. Any plans to add support for unsupported devices?
[One (M7) General] nateboi81:
He just answered it. The exploit will not work on those devices. If you want s off you better come up with your own exploit
[One (M7) General] rasstar:
I see. I was s-off before using revone but that longer works since I am on hboot 1.57.

[One (M7) General] b99721:
I did s-on after being s-off since hboot 1.55 for repair service.

After service I was on hboot 1.57, Sense 6 with s-on. Initially I couldn't get s-off - patched kernel error - so I restored nandroid of Sense 5.5 (didn't even bother moving beyond lock screen - tried unlocking the lock screen and was thrown with numerous errors so just ignored them), just ran firewater and it worked like a charm right after the first bottle, and then moved to restoring Sense 6 nandroid (that I took prior to restoring Sense 5.5). (Just that the Keyboard was not working after restoring Sense 6 nandroid - to solve this I simply tapped on the left of the voice command icon, choose selext input method from the top menu and selected HTC keyboard). Awesome!!
[One (M7) General] Seanie280672:
Just wondering if we know which revision of CPU is causing half of us to not achieve S-OFF

I have an ARMv7 rev 0 (v71)

Not sure if its worth flashing different rom's to try and get S-OFF or if its just a waste of time.

Rumrunner should work mate, not firewater. Give it a go. I had to use Rumrunner for my hboot 1.56. You need to be unlocked via HTCDev first.

"no working internet connection" problem

Hello

I'm trying to install Firewater on my HTC One M8 according to insturctions but getting the "firewater requires a working internet connection on your device" error message when executing it.

My device is connected to the internet via wifi only (I have no SIM card in the device) and it appears to be working (I have access to internet using the device itself and can also successfully ping internet sites in the adb shell).

Please advise.

Thanks.

[One (M7) General] DBCoop:

[One (M7) General] utsavkoju:
finally s-off with hbot 1.57

Thank you so much finally able to get s-off. Following are the steps i followed.

1. Unlocked the device.

2. Install twrp recovery.

3. Install root via recovery.

4. Install ExperimentalX kernel.

5. Copy the firewater to the platform-tools folder.

6. Run the commands in command window.

7. In 2nd bottle its S-off. yeppieee.

I think this steps might help you as well

P.S: Mine is international version of htc one on android 4.4.2, sense 6 and hboot 1.57
[One (M7) General] Master Bricker:
Sorry man, but I have not seen that message before on my HTC One before. The Firewater S-OFF process only took a few minutes to complete after I had set everything up.

Some things I would try:

-Test a different USB connection. Try both USB 2.0/3.0.

-Make sure you don't have security locks.

-Do this on a stock rom.

-Go through the prerequisits/and instructions again to see if you missed anything.
[One (M7) General] nateboi81:
If you get the whelp this sucks message as it says on Firewater no amount of flashing will fix it. Your phone cannot work with this exploit. Unless someone comes up with something else you are stuck
[One (M7) General] mitas35:
Hi ,did you try with 1.56 as well??

Thanks.

I wonder for us that didnt work on 1.56 ,do we have the chance to work if we update to 1.57??Or we make thinks even harder???
[One (M7) General] nateboi81:
If it doesn't work on 1.56 it won't work on 1.57. HTC do patch things so probably better not to update just in case someone comes up with a new exploit
[One (M7) General] utsavkoju:
Hi [MENTION=4199995]mitas35[/MENTION],

I think hboot 1.57 has all the patches that were included on 1.56 + some additional patches. I haven't tried on 1.56. But you should give it a try. I don't think there will be any drawbacks. But be cautious and avoid blunders. Just give it a try. just follow my steps, they might work for you as well.
[One (M7) General] sToRm1nG:
There were people who S-OFFed with HBOOT 1.57.0000 so it is possible but whether or not it works depends on your CPU revision.
[One (M7) General] mitas35:
I allready try but i get the whelp message,on my previous device I did it with 1.56 and it warkt ,with this one it doesn't.:(

I have AT&T HTC ONE M7 with HBoot 1.56. After running firewater, it started first bottle, chugging and then whelp..

To try and save beaups head from exploding I'll quote him.

I just don't understand what part of the whelp message everyone doesn't get. I can't get s off on my device either but I know that no amount of asking is going to change this. Please STOP asking.

Thank you [MENTION=5543144]alessiomoro1994[/MENTION] & the Firewater devs for this. I had send my One in a journey across the country for the so called java card unlock and after a month without a single clue what have happened to it I luckily got it back untouched....nothing done to it.

Worked like a charm on 1.56 h-boot :thumbup:
[One (M7) General] Zirowe:
Did you use method 1 or 2?

Was your bootloader locked or unlocked?
[One (M7) General] donkeykong1:
Method 1. I unlocked my bootloader via HTCDev
[One (M7) General] Zirowe:
I was hoping for a 1.56 hboot locked method 2 success story. :)

I just got updated to 4.4.2 with 1.56 hboot a few days before firewater came out, and I don't want to open the bootloader because of warranty purpouses.

Unfortunately 1.56 does not work with method 2.
[One (M7) General] donkeykong1:
Well, I tried method 2 too and it didn't work so I unlocked bootloader HTCDev way and now I'm s-off too. If I need to return to stock, it easy
[One (M7) General] Zirowe:
Sure, it's easy, but once you have opened the bootloader through htcdev, he fact that you have opened the phones bootloader is recorded by htc and your warranty is voided.

This is why I don't want to open the bootloader woth htcdev.
[One (M7) General] donkeykong1:
I know that. AFAIK they don't check HTC records at my service so I don't really care
[One (M7) General] psycho-sonic:
You fear to void your phones warrenty?

Use it stock and make no modification.

That's i think is the best way for you and other people with fear.

Ok, but here they do.

[One (M7) General] donkeykong1:
Don't loose your temper. I know exzactly what you mean. It's your phone, and it is pretty expensive, so voiding warranty is not reallythe smartest thing to do if you have those record controls at your service

Is there any documentation anywhere how one can check for the version of the cpu? im asking because firewater doesnt seem to work, but my device is from end of 2013, so i thought it should have the newer revision cpu and just want to check it.

thanks
[One (M7) General] nateboi81:
I doubt they want to release to much information about the exploit or else it won't be very useful anymore. Does it matter what version you have really? If it comes up with the whelp message it's not going to work regardless

---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

If you really want to knock yourself out there are a few hardware info apps in the store that will tell you what version it is
[One (M7) General] crnkoj:
I found that post myself, it explains about different revisions, but not HOW to find out which one is used in a phone. To quote part of the post "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. " It doesnt however give any directions/advise how to query the qfuse values, for which a rather wide google search doesnt yield anything usefull as well.

If you had followed how the discussion went on from that post you would have found posts 609 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52320359&postcount=609 and 610 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52320452&postcount=610 in which there is the exact same question i posted, with a response to it, that isnt even remotely related to HOW to check for the revisions.
