Hey guys!

On my device (4.19.401.8 and HBOOT 1.56) not working. Untouched, no root, no unlock htcdev and anything else.

Try methode 2, but in the shell failed the temproot process.

Win8.1 x64, HTC drivers, ADB drivers installed. Which system using and whats the problem with the temproot? I think we mess up anything, not the methode is wrong.

sorry for the nooby question but what does Push, Prepare, and Execute firewater mean
[One (M7) General] danielr18:
Nothing important.
[One (M7) General] PillowMetal:
I am already S-OFF and an not using firewater, but in Android parlance, push means to copy the program to your device, prepare means to set permissions on the executable file, and execute means to run the program.
[One (M7) General] samflorin:
So it seems the root exploit was fixed in 4.4.2. Only option i see is be htc dev unlocked and rooted so that you can use option 1.
[One (M7) General] schoei1:
On Friday night I decided to install a stock AT&T ROM and was able to get S-Off. Now I have Google Play Edition KitKat 4.4.2. Thanks for the response.
[One (M7) General] mirkuma:
Great

Incredible, successfully on HTC One on first try on MAC (Mavericks 10.9.2), using method 2 (temproot).

CID: HTC__032, HBOOT: 1.55, fully 4.3 stock: 3.62.401.1, newer unlocked.

Did it just for precaution when going towards official 4.2.2 OTA path...maybe someday towards custom rom, but for now stock is ok.

For Mac users here is nice guide to install adb and fastboot (Warning: adb should be at least version: 1.0.31):

Note the use of ./ before adb, firewater and temproot command (mac/linux specific).

EDIT1:

Phone can't find OTA any more :( so can't update via OTA. Was getting this prior S-OFF and "force stop" updater running process to disable OTA notifications, but now OTA can't be found after restart via About/Software updates.

I's because unlock and s-off (didn't install custom recovery or anything) or has nothing to to with this?

EDIT2:

It seems that 4.4.2 OTA updates have been really pulled back from HTC, as a lot of new users of new One with CID: HTC__032 owners that are completely on 4.3 stock and unmodified (S-ON) doesn't receive OTA notifications for 4.4.2 either.
[One (M7) General] v28:
Don't think its anything you have done, HTC have pulled a lot of the kitkat updates due to people having various problems. Just hang tight, at least you have s-off now so possibilities are endless haha.
[One (M7) General] mirkuma:
Really? Thank you. My HTC One is EU version (3.62.401.1), sim unlocked, and KK update come moth ago (receiving annoying OTA notifications all the time). I have heard about battery drain, tethering and connectivity problems after 4.4.2 update, but didn't noticed any news regarding pulling back KitKat update.

Strange, so 4.3 is still most stable version for HTC One?

I have been planing to clear data on updater process/app that take care about OTA and if this don't work also full factory reset afterwards to check if OTA is available afterwards. But if this is the case, I will only lose all my data and settings without any results regarding OTA.

Where did you read that HTC has pull back 4.4.2 update in Europe?

EDIT:

I have checked some other forums and there is a lot of talk about not getting 4.4.2 OTA any more...also for the phones on 4.3 that have been joust bought (so complete 4.3 HTC stock).

Thank you...will wait...
[One (M7) General] caanda45:
I just got s-off...lol took me awhile, my adb on the copy and pasting kept shutting off and losing the connection to the computer. Once I figured that out and switched to my laptop it got me to the Yes No question (did have to run it twice to work)....doh once I figures out the Y was capitalized all went well.....I hate a and love adb.....

I am on Kit Kat 4.4.2 and Hboot 1.56

Hey guys, have an issue hopefully someone can help with. For the life of me, I can not get rid of the damn HTC sync manager. Using Sprint HTC1 and a MacBook as my pc is down. I gain temp root without problems but not s-off. I get a message about funky skunky taste or something and it tells me to force reboot, so I assume HTC sync is causing the issue.

No matter what I do to remove HTC sync, as soon as I plug my phone in it fires back up. Beating my head against the wall trying to get rid of this craptastic HTC sync. I'm sure I'm missing something easy. Any help is really appreciated.

HTC One Verizon 4.4.2 s-off

I am getting the same thing.

Verizon HTC One

HBOOT 1.56

4.4.2 Kitkat

I was able to use Rumrunner prior to the install of 4.4.2 OTA to s-off. I was runing HBOOT 1.54 I believe 4.2.2, I was tired of the OTA notification popping up so I relocked and s-on to install 4.4.2. I guess I should have checked if I would be able to root again before I relocked and s-on. Blah

It would seems the trouble is the connection to the device through a PC. A few days ago I was able to get Temproot to run but Firewater would lock up after the first bottle, forcing me to reboot and try again. Now I am getting stuck with Temproot before running Firewater I think there is a connectivity issue caused by the install of 4.4.2 that is keeping us from rooting.

It seems my PC is installing and reinstalling drivers every time the phone reboots. Prior to 4.4.2 this wasn't happening. Only the Auto-play dialog would come up. After opening CMD typing adb reboot; the phone reboots. I type in /adb wait-for-device.... then when it's done pushing Firewater I push Temproot. By the time I get to start adb shell and type in Chmod 775... I lose connection and end up back at the command prompt and I have to restart adb shell.

I don't remember this happening when rooting 4.2.2. Windows never had to reinstall the drivers every time I connected my device.

Can someone tell me why Windows feels the need to reinstall the drivers every time I connect my device? Or does this happen for everyone else too? Again this is the same computer I used for 4.2.2 and was able to root without a problem.

This is my first time posting here so please excuse any of my questions that don't belong or if I'm in the wrong place.
[One (M7) General] mago988:
using this method, the phone is formatted? I lose data and apps or is only done the s-off? Thanks!
[One (M7) General] kgtrader:
As of now, there is not a working exploit for hboot 1.56. I know there are many people (myself included) waiting for one, and I am certain that developers are working hard to find a new method.
[One (M7) General] KBCreepin:
I haven't but I'll check it out. Thanks
[One (M7) General] mirkuma:
Just open application folder and drop HTC Sync app to trash and empty trash, then restart your mac.
[One (M7) General] KBCreepin:
I've tried that what feels like a thousand times but every time I connect my phone back to the mac, it pops up again. If I try to drag the manager to trash, the Mac keeps saying it can't be moved to trash because it can't be deleted.

[One (M7) General] Pard0ned:
I have 1.56 and couldn't get temproot to work - kept on showing same errors as posted here numerous times.

I reread the OP to make make sure there was nothing I was missing out. Had to laugh at the irony there though - the temproot is described on the op as being provided for convenience, and because of that you shouldn't ask for help regarding it. Wasn't the slightest bit convenient.

In the end I gave up and unlocked via HTC dev site.

Am now unlocked, soffed (using firewater, worked fine) and running cm11.

I really can't see them fixing the temproot for 4.4.2 & 1.56 hboot as the s-off still works after using htcdev. I hope I'm wrong and they do work it out as a lot of people didn't want to unlock via htcdev as worried about warranties.

We won't spend much time helping people avoid htcdev, correct.

You guys are seriously amazing. Shout out to the devs who work so hard on this stuff. Couldn't have been more straightforward once I got around my own confusion. Great stuff. S-off.
[One (M7) General] dpr:
Sad for myself (was too quick by doing an OTA update to 4.4.2 with HBoot 1.56 only recently) - but understandable. Will do htcdev then and kill my waranty - but my fault, should have done S-OFF before updating.

beaups, you guys are so amazing - thank you all anyway!

And - just to mention - should there be some ideas on the horizon to get temproot for the HBOOT 1.56: Please post it and I´m happy to wait with the htcdev a bit
[One (M7) General] nikosblade:
I respect your decision and your work too. Its just some people (including me) that needs just root. No custom roms, no custom kernels. Just a damn root! I remember my face in htc service when i got my first htc one because of really bad signal even in open roads and they didnt cover me in warranty because i had my phone unlocked in htcdev. They claimed that signal problem was about rooting my phone...We all know a single root cant make your hardware faulty. So they asked me some months ago 440€ to change the phone's mainboard. I decide to buy a new one some days ago. I was unlucky enough to get it with 1.56 hboot and tbh i am not willing to risk again my warranty. I think you can get my point and i would appreciate if you can, and you are willing of course to help the root only guys. :)
[One (M7) General] ghost6007:
It worked on my T-Mobile US with hboot 1.56 and 4.4.2

this worked for me with my T-Mobile HTC One. I had to exchange my original one due to the camera issue.

When I got the new one, I as a bit disappointed since it was already on hboot 1.56 and KitKat 4.4.2; however here's what I did in order to get this to work:

First things first, use the HTCDev website to unlock your bootloader.

Install custom recovery, in this case TWRP 2.6.3.3

Install/Obtain root (I used Super SU by chainfire)

Install/update your root app (launch the Super User app, it'll prompt for updates if there are any)

Once you have root, follow the instructions provided on their website, firewater-soff.com/instructions for Normal, rooted device.

It took about a minute or so for the thing to work it's magic and give me S-Off :victory:

Thank you for the good work.
[One (M7) General] WatchUrSix:
VZW_001 won't allow me to use the HTCdev site. Also under 4.4.2 I am denied even the ability to spoof my CID to get an unlock.bin. In a way I am lucky, my phone is showing signs of what I like to call the purple haze. I bought the phone 10 days ago and will be returing it tomorrow to Best Buy for another phone which will get me back to 4.2.2. I will be able to s-off and unlock again but only because of hardware failure. I won't make the mistake of updating before a clear root for Verizon phones running 1.56 hboot, version 4.4.2 is available. I have heard a lot of people say they are able to root but they are from different countries/providers.

It would suck to assume that everyone is avoiding HTCdev just to root. I have tried every option available to me and nothing had worked so far.

I am happy that tomorrow I will be able to return my phone and reroot though. I was running stock rooted, I miss my xblast sidebar and the ablity to control my phone the way I want to. Thanks to all those that work hard to make that possiable. Hope you find an answer for those of us that have hit the wall.

So before you went to the HTC service, you never thought of returning your phone back to Stock and locking your bootloader? That way, you could have had saved your money.

If the phone is rooted, you are good to go with rumrunner as well.

And yes, the firewater will work on your device perfectly without a hitch. :D

I was already unlocked from htcdev. I just used this tool for gaining s-off.Used on Windows 7 and USB 3.0

At first my pc wasn't reading my device from ADB.But my pc was reading it from ADB Sideload.I tried some USB drivers but it didn't work.

I deleted all drivers and installed HTC Sync Manager. Then i go to the device manager and installed MTP and USB hybrid devices manually.Then

i deleted HTC Sync manager and restarted my pc. After that, my pc was reading htc one from adb! :good: Then i used the guide to gain s-off.

No boot loader unlocked is essential

Anyhow you don't learned here when you got S-Off you can lock it again

It will show locked instead of relocked so warranty will still there

Unlock bootloader then go ahead
[One (M7) General] Murmel2k:
You mean the key shown on the smartphone, when connecting over adb? This popup already came after installing HTC drivers and activating USB debugging. I've accepted the connection

Quoting from the initial posting in this thread:

My problem isn't unlocking the device, I have a problem with HTC knowing, that I have unlocked my device, because I have to go over HTCDev to do that. Even if I relock the bootloader after S-Off-ing it, they still would know, that I've done it.

Temproot works fine. But after starting firewater, it opens the first bottle, then a line of dots appears, and then it throws me out of adb, and I have to force-restart my phone, because it doesnt react anymore.
[One (M7) General] yatindroid:
Everyone knows that but HTC dev is no problem they don't check who had done that

& if they wanna check they can check either way
