[One (M7) General] Klejdi90:
I am having the same thing happen same ROM and kernel cant find a way to make it work :(
[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
In my experience when it goes through all 12 bottles, an older Rom helps.

Try a jelly bean 4.3 rom. Fyi The stock jelly bean kernel doesn't have the anti firewater patch. So worth trying with stock kernel before flashing bulletproof.
[One (M7) General] BinaryXeroMedia:
I had to use sunshine to s-off as i was always getting the error saying firewater couldnt unlock my device. Do not come to IRC. So why can Sunshine unlock and not firewater? Seems a bit pathetic that one can and the other can't yet on firewaters site it specifically says it can unlock HTC One M8. I had to pay to get mine unlocked. Anyone else having this issue should do the same. Yeah it cost $25 per device but kinda seems worth it if even the free version cant get it right. They need to change their website to "Works with some HTC One M8. But use sunshine if you fail to unlock" Tried to get an answer as to why it fails on some to only get abuse of "we told you to not disturb us on IRC. The program told you it doesnt work and that is final". Well guess what, all i asked is why did the internation m8 fail when site says it works to only get abuse. Use sunshine. It works and is safe. It does checks before charging and lets you know if your HTC One M8 is capable of S-Off. Why one can and other cant raises suspicion on to how safe and reliable it is if it cant work properly. Bw careful of the firewater. I tried many times to the point it caused my OS to crash into a bootloop and required me to reflash my recovery before i could factory reset. Sunshine succeeded first time without any error or issues. Well worth the $25.
[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
Firewater was developed well before the release of the M8. HTC are wise to it now and implemented patches in kernels and Firmware to prevent firewater from working. In some cases a different Rom or Kernel can help firewater work but if the firmware is patched there's not a lot that can be done since you need s-off to manipulate firmware.

Firewater still works for many devices and that is an achievement in its self in my eyes. As it shows that HTC in house devs have yet to discover a way to stop it altogether. So really it's more about HTC being unable to stop it from achieving s-off with all there devices, rather than firewater not being unable to s-off all HTC devices.
[One (M7) General] kbal:
Could you kindly point me to a 4.3 download link?

Probably opened 1 trillion of empty bottles so far :)
[One (M7) General] mehrfar:
my device is 802 w

I've done all the things for s-off with firewater but the firewater does not start.

please help me.thanks

I tried with Android Revolution HD 31.6 (Android 4.3) two times, first with ARHD Kernel and second with bulletproof 8.1 (for Android 4.3)

Got the same results: " Open all bottles and still no buzz...."

My eMMC starts with 1501.... Still S-ON... :(

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

Delete old firewater, download it again and place it in the same folder, I had the same problem... I don't know why, it is the small file, but it worked....;)

[One (M7) General] Klejdi90:
What firmware were you on before? 6.09.401(.10) or (.5) ?
[One (M7) General] neosic:
Oh man, did not see. Does firmware change when I installed the Google play RUU?

BTW someone with a Tmobile Variant on another forum confirmed to me that my combination worked for them. So I was able to get him S-OFF as well.
[One (M7) General] djmeex:
What eMMC chip you have? (First 4 number..)

(If you don't know how to check it, download "eMMC check" from google play and let us know, thnanks)...
[One (M7) General] Klejdi90:
I am not sure if the firmware changes when you install GPe RUU but it should. I mean before you got s-off as after you get s-off you can change the firmware. Can you check with eMMC checker in playstore what version it says your chip is?
[One (M7) General] neosic:
EMMC chip

Confirmed HBOOT 1.55.000 - S-OFF

Just wanted to confirm that after unlocking boot loader via HTCDev I have succed to S-OFF.

After two attemts and a bit "hanging" by second bottle and reboot and second attempt it is now S-OFF.

It's M7_UL device with HBOOT 1.55.000 and OS-3.63.111.3 from November 27 2013.

The phone was already rooted and I have used the first method.

Thanks goes to Firewater Team and member alessiomoro1994 for his contribution for posting it here.

Cheers !

preparing, one moment

The first bottle is open

chugging..........

C:\Users\Test\Desktop\New folder\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell

It just stops there, some times it gets till the second bottle, but thats it.

The adb version is the latest, i have internet on the phone, pc with admin rights, the same.

I tried on a pc with the Windows new installed, the latest HTC drivers...the same.

Any ideas?

finally s-off

Finally my SPRINT HTC ONE is S-off. thanks to Firewater. my hboot- 1.55.

i tried Rumrunner & revone. both failed but this Firewater worked.

thanks.

got s-off when 1st bottle was opened :D
[One (M7) General] schoei1:
Do I need to go back to stock?

I have tried getting S-Off with both Rumrunner & Firewater with no luck. I also have an update on my phone, but when I try to install the update, my phone boots into recovery so it won't install and the update keeps coming back. Do I need to go back to stock because I am running Stock Google Play Edition Jellybean 4.3 on my AT&T HTC One or is there another way to get Google Play Edition 4.4.2 on to my phone?
[One (M7) General] v28:
Just wanted to say thanks guys, successfully achieved s-off with hboot 1.56 and 4.19. I had previously been s-off with rumrunner but for some strange reason decided to lock the device back up to recieve the 4.19 update for UK HTC_001 and be stock. Big mistake as I missed GPE within a day. Unlocked bootloader, flashed recovery, rooted, 2nd chugging and BOOM! Will never go back to s-on again. Lesson learned.
[One (M7) General] Bl00dRunzC0ld:
Doesn't work for me at all. I've tried firewater and rumrunner. Firewater just says opening first bottle, chugging, then goes back to command line. Rumrunner gives an error about extracting files. No clue what to do for either of them. I see others have the same firewater issue as me.
[One (M7) General] traesnaidensdad:
I have hboot 1.55 I unlocked with HTCDev then rooted. I'm not New to this but I'm getting fails left n right. Rumrunner and Firewater....uggh. could it be that I'm on ViperRom? Ver.5.0 4.4.2

I realise firewater has just been discontinued, but I've been trying to S-Off my HTC one with hboot 1.57 for the last couple of days, and I don't get any messages about chugging bottles, just 60 lines of dots (full stops/periods) at a suspiciously regular rate, what does this output mean?

I'm using stock software 2.24.980.1 from the stock nandroid backup thread.
[One (M7) General] WiseManWhite:
I'm in the same boat as you. It would be nice to have S-off. I had to turn s-on in order for HTC to fix my purple tinted camera.
[One (M7) General] sToRm1nG:
I don't think that it will be possible to continue to use firewater. Old version are blocked and it's probably the same with the latest one.

I guess those dots indicate that the needed download during the process itself could not be done.

[One (M7) General] sToRm1nG:
It wont work anymore as the files which are downloaded during S-OFF procedure are no longer available.
[One (M7) General] iBowToAndroid:
That's fine and I understand - I'm fine with them discontinuing support. I don't understand how they could prevent the file from executing on a device though - that doesn't require an internet connection. I ran firewater before on plenty of phones, forgetting to connect them to wifi first, and I never got the "no internet" message until after the file was executed and I typed Yes for the T+C
[One (M7) General] beaups:
Firewater always required an internet connection.
[One (M7) General] iBowToAndroid:
RIght. But in the instances where I had forgotten to connect the phone to wifi first, the file would still execute and ask if I agreed to the T+C - and then it would tell me that it required a working internet connection. Now it just doesn't run at all so I'm confused. I'm just that kind of person who likes to understand how things work the way they do :)

Unfortunately Firewater has been discontinued and will no longer work. If your on hboot 1.57 the only way is Sunshine. If you contact the Sunshine Dev's they may be able to help you arrange payment through a different method ;) :good:
