I have just redownloaded firewater and I keep getting "internet connection required" although the phone is connected to a WiFi with internet access. I can't try a mobile network at this time.

Any problems with it?

I was using a one week old version but was getting almost 20 minutes with dots (...........................................................) in the command prompt, no error, no other message on an ATT M8.

Once being S-Off with ElementalX 14.10 can you put whatever kernel you want and preserve the S-OFF ?
[One (M7) General] Seanie280672:
flash any kernel / rom / ruu you like once you are s-off, the only way to go s-on is to manually write it back WHICH YOU SHOULD NEVER DO.

I got S-off with ARDH 71.1 + ElementalX 14.11, if it helps..

I also had a lot of troubles until I realized that I didn't have any information about OS in the bootloader, so I flashed a stock ROM from recovery, flashed the stock recovery, locked the bootloader, and flashed the same firmware version that I already had, and the OS information came back. Then I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP recovery, flashed ARHD 71.1 and ElementalX 14.11, and I was able to get S-OFF with firewater.

Hi mate, try factory reset your phone. Happen to me as well before. Now I'm finally S-Off after a week finding the solution.

Just to add to the success stories; I have just achieved S-OFF running ViperOne 5.8.0, Elemental X 14.10 and TWRP 2.6.3.3 using a WiFi connection. Achieved by the second bottle.
[One (M7) General] y3kt:
I didn't had mobile data, so that was not an option. Finally I got it working by using another internet connection (WiFi), the one I was using may have had some kind of firewall or rules behind blocking some ports, or at least that was the conclusion I made.

Has anyone tried Sunshine on the m7/One (see link below)?

http://theroot.ninja/

I get an "incompatible ROM/Kernel" error. I have the stock kernel so I assume it must be the ROM. I am using ARHD 71.1. The requirement is having a near stock/stock ROM, although I thought ARHD was near stock. I know this was originally intended for the M8, but it does say it is compatible with other HTC models.

I get the dreaded "Whelp" message with Firewater. It states that it should work for those phones that get the Whelp message, but again, it's in reference to the M8. I'm willing to plunk down the $25 for Sunshine, but want to ensure it's going to work before doing so. Thanks.

A small guide for me as well, concerning those who had to send their phone for repair and received it back locked, s-on and with 1,57 Hboot

Long story short: AFAIAC, if Rumrunner/Firewater worked for you before AND the repair center hasnt replaced your motherboard/phone, then it can work again.

These are the steps (implying that your phone is S-On, with locked bootloader and the official 5.11.401.10 with hboot 1.57, if not try mike1986's system dump):

1.Re-unlock bootloader through HTCDev

2.Flash the latest TWRP Recovey

3.Root the phone

4.Flash ElementalX 14.10 (not 14.12, not 16)

5.Run Firewater and follow the instructions EXACTLY as described.

6. Profit

With the steps above I managed to get S-Off by the second bottle. Once again, this should work for all those who for example send their phone to service for the purple tint and received them back with just a new camera module.
[One (M7) General] /dev/null/:
I have a big problem ... I sent my phone for a repair and it came back with android 4.4.2 and hboot 1.57

I tried to use firewater but it does not work.. initially it told me that the kernel is not good, so I tried to flash a lot of different roms and kernels from twrp recovery, but still nothing..

So I restored my nandroid backup with gpe 4.4.3 and elementalX kernel, and now when I try to use firewater it hangs at the opening of the second bottle, the phone is freezed and I have to restart it by holding down the power button

there is a solution?

my cid is HTC__405, the phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked

Okay so I can't figure out what's going on. Did this on an HTC Droid DNA updated as far as it can be and it worked first try, now that I'm on an HTC one MAX verizon that's updated on 4.4.2 I cannot figure out why it's not working. The first couple times I get the "chugging........." after the first bottle, then it just quits the shell and goes back to "C:\blablablawheremyfilesare" and the phone screen just stays black, I have to reboot the phone from there. Then one time it went to the bottle 3, but then did the exact same thing, rooted with weaksauce, same method as on the DNA, any solution?

EDIT: I pulled a stupid and forgot to install supersu, it now gave me the device is s-off message and I'm about to verify that it worked. IT INDEED DID. Now showing S-off and unlocked message. THANK YOU

To anyone getting the "chugging......." message and it then just stops and gives up, MAKE SURE YOU INSTALLED SUPERSU, don't make the mistake I did.

Whelp, etc

What might be helpful for all the people who are trying this is a definitive list of what will NOT allow you to S-Off. Maybe the devs know...

For example, if you have "blah, blah" setting in your 'getvar all' list, it won't work, or if you have this... or that... etc.

It might help all those who keep trying and getting nowhere.

Here's my story in case it's helpful...

Started with unlocked/rooted stock, sense 6, 4.4.2, Hboot 1.57

Here are the results of various Kernals, I haven't flashed any custom rom yet..

Stock Kernel - Insecure Kernel message (obviously but I didn't know at the time)

Elemental Kernel 16 - Insecure kernel message - confirms what people have been saying about this one

Elemental Kernel 14.10 - It just stopped working after various bottles, also got the whelp message many times too, never got to the end just exited, I tried this one loads of times since it was the on everyone said would work however no luck.

Bulletproof 14.2 - first bottle S-Off!

So I wouldn't worry about being on 1.57 or getting the whelp messages, keep trying and you might get lucky.
[One (M7) General] djhixson88:
I don't know where to begin. This is actually a couple of issues I'm experiencing with my AT&T HTC One. First, I cannot for the life of me get this thing to S-Off. I've tried Firewater (both methods) and I keep getting the same error, "welp this sucks Firewater can't work on your device, no amount of flashing, RUUing, etc. Tried Rumrunner, won't work. I've set SuperSu to grant default access, trust system user. I've also tried having those boxes unchecked. I've noticed I never get the RSA permission pop up on my phone (running ARHD 71.1, tried 31.6, 13.4, and 40.3). I have also tried Cyanogenmod 11, and 10.2.1. I've tried different USB cables, disabling virus protection, NOTHING will work. I'm thinking it could be the date the phone was built. I have a newer HTC One M7. I've tried every firewater method I could find by simply searching around the internet to no avail. Finally, I thought I would try going back to stock completely and start the process again, but when I go to get my OS number to get the proper download file, it shows up as blank. There's nothing there and when I go to the bootloader, next to OS where it would say 4.20.5(don't know the rest) there's nothing there. I'm not sure how that's possible. But if ANYONE can help me I would greatly appreciate it. I've run out of ideas, I just want to S-Off so I can convert my phone to a Google Play Edition. I managed it with my last HTC One but got rid of it like an idiot and now I'm paying the price.
[One (M7) General] ZN6:
If you get this message,

whelp this sucks Firewater can't work on your device, no amount of flashing, RUUing, etc

This mean you CAN'T S-off you device, atleast for now until someone find a new exploit.

About blank OS in bootloader, that is common issue and it is normal because you dirty flash, let say CM11 for example. Simply flash right RUU for your device will recover OS info in bootloader.

And regarding GPe, some user manage to boot it on S-On device although it is not recommended.

Good luck.

I think the adb permissions are already set up in superuser by default which is why you aren't seeing the pop up.

As far as the empty OS, if you flashed TWRP 2.7.x.x it's been mentioned that it wipes the OS by a few people. Reflashing firmware has also been mentioned as a fix as well

You are just going to have to try. When I get "whelp" message, it was always on the first bottle. Firewater never got past the first bottle, no matter what rom or kernel I tried. So I believe s-off is not possible on my phone yet. I have a newer M7 so that makes sense to me.

but he got passed first bottle many times before getting that message, so if you are trying and getting past the first bottle, there may be hope for you.

[One (M7) General] Zirowe:
As it is stated in the htcdev disclaimer, unlocking bootloader may void part of your wareanty.

But it is not explained when or wich part, but here the repair center voids it completely if the phone has requested the unlock bin.

It is really unfair, that if for example I open the bootloader, then they will not repair the purple camera issue, wich is a widely known factory defect and has nothing to do with the unlocked bootloader.

So this is why I will not unlock woth htcdev, and this is why htc should make the htcdev unlock rules more clear, because for example there are repair centers in other cpuntrys that don't care about unlocked bootloader and repair it anyway.

I held power for 60 seconds and nothing. Nothing happens when I hit the power button, screen is black and the red led light at the top remains on.

If your phone is not powering up, press power + vol up. Your home and back buttons will start to flash. Just keep those buutons pressed until they stop flashing (it should take 5 - 15 seconds). When buttons stop flashing you're ready to power up your phone. Boot it up, enter your PIN and start firewater. When you enter "adb reboot" wait 'till your phone reboots and enter your PIN. When you get those notifications from HTCSync go ahead with firewater. That worked for me in seconds
