As long as you send in the phone with a locked boot loader you are fine. The only way they check if u unlocked the phone is by loading up the hboot. I just sent my phone in for camera repaired but before I did I locked the boot loader and s-on and I was never charged or anything. I used htc dev unlock. On the dev unlock process it tells you it may void your warranty doesn't mean it will.
[One (M7) General] Zirowe:
1st thing they do is to check the bootloader status, then the 2nd thing is to check the htc database for your imei number, this only takes 2-3minutes, but if your imei is there, then you don't have warranty anymore.

Doesn't matter if you have locked bootloader as long as you have requested even once your unlock.bin.

This is what all service center should do, but some don't.
[One (M7) General] juergenn:
Is there someone who lives in the USA and where firewater doesn't work. I ask because beaups needs a device witch doesn't works to test with and perhaps to solve the problem of getting s-off.

It would be nice if someone in the US can help him (us).

When using SunShine yes you must be on stock or a Rom close to stock.

For Firewater this is not required.

I used ARHD 71.1 but just installed the basic Rom. No add-ons no xposed not toolbox and only app I selected during install was es file explorer (you'll need this to run sunshine) and default Google apps. so basically pre-rooted stock Rom.

Worked first time ;)

I had this same problem with fire water also I helped another user with this exact same problem.

Your partitions are corrupt. Boot into recovery and unmount system, data and cache. Connect usb then

adb devices

to check connection

adb shell
e2fsck -fvy dev/block/mmcblk0p35

e2fsck -fvy dev/block/mmcblk0p36

e2fsck -fvy dev/block/mmcblk0p37

exit

Reboot and try again

If it's still the same make a nandroid and backup everything from your phone to your computer.

Boot into recovery and Format Data. This will wipe everything including sd card and rom.

adb push your Rom and install try firewater.

Once your all done copy sd card backup back to phone and restore your nandroid ;)

For me e2fsck wasn't enough I had to format the phone. :( but this guy got away with just doing e2fsck http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=54621474

Oddly I'm now having this problem with a device I had previously got s-off with firewater. I sent it for warranty for purple camera. Checked emmc cid as soon as I got it back and no change but now I get this thing with endless dots ???

I haven't had a chance to try the same kernel +Rom combo as last time but will be trying later tonight but for all the things the went wrong last time I never saw this before :confused:

Edit:- fyi for this device last time I used stock 4.3 with bulletproof kernel.
[One (M7) General] balag59:
Thanks!But the problem is that now im on complete stock including stock recovery. .so i cant flash the kernel. .any other way i can get it to work with the stock kernel?Or any other way i can get rid of the tampered flag and get locked bootloader instead of relocked?
[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
only with sunshine app but that cost $25 worth it if you ask me but not if firewater can do it for free. And your only doing it to sell the phone.

But firewater won't work with stock kernel as it said stock kernel has Anti firewater patch. You can always flash stock recovery after you get s-off.
[One (M7) General] pokedroid:
hey all, I just got a replacement m8 from at&t (orignal couldn't recognize any sim i put into it). my HBOOT is 3.16 and my eMMC is 2048... and just below that on the fastboot screen i see a date of Apr 18, 2014. from the research i've done it seems that firewater will fail if i'm working with hboot 3.18 and eMMC 9001 so I'm thinking I should be in the clear? firewater starts chugging the first bottle and then my screen always turns off, then it fails. I might just be grasping at straws here but I'm thinking the screen shutting off is messing with the process somehow? or is this normal?

Any assistance would be really appreciated. If I had to explain a $25 charge to my fiance with our wedding coming up... then explain why I need S-OFF so bad, well let's just say that's not an argument i'm willing to have at the moment :p
[One (M7) General] CamoGeko:
Why dont you just forget about the S-OFF and worry about your wedding instead for now?

Then once you're married it will be much easier to get that $25?
[One (M7) General] Dunka:
Sounds like you're already married lol

With the M7, as long as you don't get the "whelp this sucks" message than the chances of getting S-Off are good with stock Rom and bullet proof kernel combinations. Not sure if that pertains to the M8 though. When you say it fails, how so?
[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
Just an update on this I reverted back to stock 4.3 with Bulletproof 8.1. It fixed the endless dots problem but I'm yet to get s-off just runs out of bottles every time. Last time this combo worked on the 4th bottle.

Still trying

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

If the screen shuts of and firewater hangs it's your phone enter in qhusb_dload as the message suggests just reboot and try again.

Try a different Rom or kernel but as was said until you see Whelp this sucks your in with a chance.
[One (M7) General] balag59:
So your saying that even if i use the bulletproof kernel now i wont be able to get s-off?Any other way i can remove tampered flag and show locked instead of relocked?
[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
No I didn't say that. Bulletproof kernel has proven very successful with firewater. I was haveing trouble running firewater, but after installing bulletproof it works just fine but hasen't given me s-off yet.

That doesn't mean it won't just gotta keep trying.
[One (M7) General] balag59:
Thanks il give it a shot!
[One (M7) General] balag59:
Thanks a ton!After flashing the bulletproof kernel and a few more attempts of trying to get s-off finally paid off!Thanks again!:D:D

[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
[MENTION=5885211]balag59[/MENTION]

The red text will go when everything is back to stock. But I urge you to follow this guide. Otherwise you risk running into all sorts of problems like Tampered coming back after you s-on missing preload apps witch could cause soft brick later and so on. It's the long way around but only way to do it 100% ;)

[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
Finally re-gained s-off :D No Bulletproof kernel this time just stock 4.3 with stock kernel. Only took 2 bottles.
[One (M7) General] pokedroid:
Look I don't mean to come off as rude, but how is this post helpful? I'm not looking for premarital or wedding planning advice, I'm looking for s-off lol. If the wedding had some pressing matter at the moment then that would surely be my focus but that's not the case. This is just a short little project I thought I'd look into so I can get back to a GPe ROM.

Again, please don't read this as me being angry, just me being straight forward. I'm looking for troubleshooting steps. Not an opinion on whether obtaining s-off or focusing on a wedding that's still a few months off is a better use of my time. Also, the money isn't a big deal, it's just something I'd rather avoid having to pay for. I personally think $25 is far too high for an s-off method, although it's looking more and more like I'll have to bite the bullet and do it. I am now trying to find a stock kernel that is compatible with my current firmware in order to use sunshine. Someone in this thread mentioned installing a custom kernel and more sunshine won't work because I'm using elemental x.

Thanks to all who offered suggestions.
[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
Just keep trying firewater, untill you get Whelp this sucks message your in with a chance.

The screen will always shut off when firewater runs that's normal but if the command window hangs you need to reboot and try again.

Try an unsecured kernel try a different Rom you just need to find that golden combination. Other things to check. Obviously the requirements for firewater, disable lock screen, unchecked Fastboot in power options, enable unknown sources in security settings.

Also check your SuperSU settings. Set default permission to grant, and enable su during boot. I've also found it helps not to rush executing firewater. Just get the push and chmod commands done then wait for the phone to finish booting. Wait for mass storage to mount and any boot notifications to settle down.

Then when it's all settled run firewater. Good luck

Verizon HTC M7

Just got back my replacement M7 from HTC, trying to go about rooting again.

Got through the temp root successfully, once I run firewater, it goes first bottle chugging, second bottle chugging, then just gives me the C:\Program Files line again.

It does not appear to be succeeding but I'm not getting a failed message.

Any advice?

Thanks!
[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
It happens just keep trying. If you haven't already try bulletproof kernel and a stock 4.3 Rom. I had this same issue every time I've used firewater unfortunately it's just not as straight forward as we'd like :)
[One (M7) General] xFlawless11x:
I'm on stock HTC Sense 4.3 right out of the box, have yet to even sign into my google account.

I used weaksauce to get temp, then pushed the superuser apk to the device, ran su command then firewater, still failing.

However since I'm on verizon I can't HTCDev unlock to modify anything...

Just read your other post looks like I'm SOL considering stock firmware has a patch of some sort now?

I originally rooted my first one over a year ago now so I'm not up to date on how locked down the updates are.
[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
Stock 4.4 kernel has Anti firewater patch but stock 4.3 kernel should work fine I got s-off with stock 4.3 kernel just the other day.

When you say fire water failed how did it fail exactly, any error messages or it just hangs and you need to reboot?

EDIT:- just read back to your other post when it hangs like that is just bad luck I think keep trying also try with WiFi and with mobile network if possible. It's stopped like that many times for me but always works eventually.
[One (M7) General] xFlawless11x:
It didn't hang or error message...the cmd window went right back the basic entry line, I gave it about 5min - the phone was black but was still able to be found with the adb devices command - then I would just hold down for 60sec and reboot.

I just went with sunshine, so easy in comparison, and no problem paying someone for all their hard work.

Appreciate your help though!
[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
Ahh well, happy days then. I was gonna recommend sunshine but but as you say it's $25. Worth it if you ask me but not if firewater will work for free. All well and good for me since I know it works with my phones.

I have used sunshine to s-off a friend's HTC one though as they had the dreaded "Whelp this sucks" message with firewater. And sunshine is incredibly easy in comparison. But any who you got s-off congrats man :highfive:

That's just part of the fun getting firewater to work. Try a custom kernel or an older stock Rom. Android 4.3 works well with M7 so maybe give it a try.

Sorry I don't know what to suggest as my M7 is International, Everything is different for Sprint. But yes normally they just flash in recovery.

But bulletproof kernel works well for me I think there's a Sprint version but you'll need to do your home work for that to make sure you get the correct one for your phone. ;)

after installed carl's1961 unsecured kernel and after 2nd bottle open , chugging......... phone is frozen and stays in that state
[One (M7) General] Danny201281:
Unfortunately that's just how it is, you need to keep trying try with different roms aswell.

I've used it to s-off multiple times and every time I went through this. Even with the same Rom and kernel I had success with before wouldn't work second time around on the same phone. It's just that temperamental.

I found older roms tend to work better though try 4.3 stock Rom. unfortunately there is no strait forward advice to give just keep trying different software. Eventually you'll either get s-off or you'll get the dreaded "Whelp this sucks" message in which case it won't work.

You could try Sunshine app, very easy to get s-off but it costs $25

Many roms include the stock kernel. Try ARHD. Older version may be best. Just install the Rom with no extras except Google apps. No xposed and no toolbox just the bare Rom. Should do the trick. I'll edit with a link
