[One (M8) Android Development] davida72:
ok, I have it unlocked, flashed su.zip, installed busybox, checked root, says i don't have root, and it also says that google play services are incompatible with my device, so I am now missing the play store and most google apps...

Should I just download a rom that's already rooted, drop it on my sdcard and flash that in recovery?
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
Give that a go, what device do you have?
[One (M8) Android Development] davida72:
I got it, and went ahead and did s-off, thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] Joshaldo:
Are there instructions with this? What order should I do it in?
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
You should try to get S-Off, then flash a recovery, then flash the SU.zip. :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Joshaldo:
Thanks mate.. and this can all be done in the toolkit?
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
Absolutely! Search up 'firewater s-off m8' on Google. That is the only thing you can't do in the toolkit. (I'm not allowed to!) :P

Let me know if you want any help!
[One (M8) Android Development] dbroadus2007:
Make this for Verizon!!! PLEASE!!!
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
You can use it with any model! It is only that some things may not work with Verizon, Sprint, etc. phones.
[One (M8) Android Development] grneyez:
Hello, thanks for the tool. I'm having a problem getting root with the SU files that were pushed to my SD. I unlocked the boot loader, have TWRP recovery installed, and when I flash the SU zip and reboot the phone it has the SU app but I dont have root. Any ideas? :confused:
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
You know, I've never been able to find the right SU.zip to get root. :P

This should be it: http://download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip
[One (M8) Android Development] grneyez:
Thanks for the quick reply, I could not wait (I'm very impatient) so I went and flashed one if the stock GE Roms. Now I have root and all seems great. I also changed recoveries so I can't go and flash my previous unroofed back up. Maybe someone else who is having issues with root could try it. Thanks again for your help.
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
That's alright! I'll probably test it. :P Glad you got it sorted. :)
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
Verison 1.0.3 released!

Update within the toolkit or download it from XDA! :highfive:

Using the recovery downloader and flasher.

Put S-Off options in.

Currently with firewater you have to be rooted. But go to their website for their temp root method. That way you don't have to unlock.

try to run a command and get device not found. ive done this before with the m7 and i dont know what else to do.any help or suggestion would be great, developer options checked my computer reads my phone. im using windows 8.1
[One (M8) Android Development] grneyez:
Hi, tried the toolkit to get S-off and I am not able to type in the DOS window that links to the toolkit. I cant type "Yes" when the DOS window launches with the toolkit. Am I doing something wrong? When I open another DOS window I am able to type.
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
It probably on my end. Sorry! I'll fix it immediately! :)
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
Is this in ADB or Fastboot? Windows 8.1 has issues apparently.
[One (M8) Android Development] yeahdat:
Adb. Got it to work by just going in fastboot mode and it unlocked without any problems. So I hope I can flash recovery the same way because it still wont find my device any other way??

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

Yep work. If you cant find your device with it on try putting it in fastboot and running the commands. Work for me now time to flash a rom
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
Sweet! I'm glad it worked! :)

run firewater as root. su or FU!!!

After following the steps lat\id out for s- off this is the message i am getting from the cmd window that opens up. " run firewater as root. su or FU!!!"

i am currently rooted. running an htc dev edition unlocked m8.

the way i rooted was installing twrp and letting twrp install SU to gain root.

Thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
Did you allow root for adb? Check in the superuser settings. Also did a root access message pop-up on your phone?
[One (M8) Android Development] Lazy361:
Yes I did. When I look on super user, adb is allowed. I granted it privileges.
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
Hmm. I guess you'll have to keep trying. Rebooting may help. Also you may want to try it manually via cmd.
[One (M8) Android Development] Lazy361:
When I try it via cmd it doesn't recognize my device. :(

Thanks though
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
So it's just adb that doesn't work? I can see if I can help you because I have Windows 8.1 as well.
[One (M8) Android Development] Lazy361:
squabbi, i have windows 7. ive disabled the lock screens, tried different usb ports, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, updated sdk, have verify apps unchecked, ... i dunno what else to do. the tool kit is obviously communicating with the phone... reboots, etc. even using hasoons i have some control. but when i open up my own cmd window, device is "offline"

which is why i was really excited with your update on s-off. ... NUTS!

any support you can lend me i would sure appreciate it.
[One (M8) Android Development] Lazy361:
Also... Here's proof phone is rooted and firewater has permission.

[One (M8) Android Development] grneyez:

I'm sure it works for all models. Double check that. ;)

[One (M8) Android Development] grneyez:
No problem. Thanks again for all the work you've done. It's good that the community people like you. ?
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
This is incorrect, as far as I know. WeakSauce was made for the Verizon variant only, and if it works on any others it's basically just a coincidence (at least according to jcase).
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
I thought he was talking about firewater and temp root. I do understand Weaksauce is for Verizon phones. :P
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
The temp root method on the Firewater site IS WeakSauce.
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
Oh I didn't realize that. Thanks for clearing it up.
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
Temp root may not work but firewater should. :)

[One (M8) Android Development] thajacka:
just want to confirm this works with htc one m8 at&t? i am going to unlock bootloader via htc dev first, and then use this. is that the proper method?
[One (M8) Android Development] grneyez:
That's what I did and used the tool and now have Soff. Squabbi's tool worked for me.
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
Yes, since firewater needs root you'll have to unlock first and root. :)
[One (M8) Android Development] thajacka:
ok, i am confused again. under unlocking it says unlock and s-off. do i just follow one of those methods? or do i have to do the htc dev bootloader unlock first and then the s-off after? i went to to the htc dev unlock and it says the s-off method is recommended. why? do they not do the same thing? is it because htc dev method is tracked and the s-off method is not?
[One (M8) Android Development] irotsoma:
Driver Issue

I'm running Windows 7 x64 with all updates and I just got an M8 Developer Edition. I tried the drivers that come with this toolkit and I still can't get adb to work. It won't detect the device. In my Windows device manager I still have one unknown device showing up called "Android Phone". I assume this is the missing driver. Has anyone else had problems with the drivers? Thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
The S- Off method requires root. But as captian throwback said temp root is for Verizon phones.

So you would have to root by using the HTC dev way and then apply S-Off. The reason why is reconnend to s-off is that it may not be tracked.
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
You have usb debugging enabled? If it is enabled here is how you fix the driver:

1. Go to device manager.

Using random device for example.

That should fix it. :)
[One (M8) Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Same here. I'm thinking that my M8_UL is one of the unlucky ones that isn't supported yet, which stinks. It is what it is though.

Running through cmd gives me the whelp error. Tried it a few times. Just gave up for the time being.
[One (M8) Android Development] Lazy361:
How are we not supported yet though? I have the developer edition. Unlocked to whatever carrier.
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
That's what I was thinking. But the Verizon model launched first. It should work with the UL. :/
[One (M8) Android Development] NYCHitman1:
I don't really have an answer to that. You'd have to ask the generous devs that created Firewater. However, my assumption is that this has more to do with the hardware versions than anything since no M8 was created the same, supposedly.
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
Haha yea. The 4G radios may have something to do with it. Too bad I can't use firewater, since I'm not getting the M8. :( I may wait for next years model. :p
[One (M8) Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Either way, I appreciate you putting the toolkit together.

wow, I haven't done flashing in a while.. My developer m8 is already unlocked but I tried to install recovery. The adb couldn't find the phone, what should I do next? :confused:
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
It's not based on model; every device is different. So it may work on some T-Mobile US M8s and not others.
[One (M8) Android Development] NYCHitman1:
That's what I meant. Granted, I phrased it poorly.
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
Have you enabled USB Debugging?

No problems! :D If you run into any problems just post a message. :)
[One (M8) Android Development] uzii305:
OK Im confused. What's s-off and firewater? Someone please give me the quick version.
[One (M8) Android Development] sjeffrey:
Rooted only gives you more power over the booted Rom. S -off gives you full access to device, allowing you to change boot image and mid/cid. For most, unlocking bootloader is more than enough as it gives you access to custom roms and rooting. Firewater is the name of an app some coders have put together to get s-off on HTC devices.
[One (M8) Android Development] Monkeyfeng:
Yup, it's turned on. Still can't find it. Weird.

It's been happening to me (and a few others) too. I know of someone else that has this same issue on their S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lanwarrior:
So it is Tapatalk problem. Any fix for this or is up to the developer at this point?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lanwarrior:
This is getting ridiculous. Every reply and opening a thread resulted in this error.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] VDub2174:
I've tried clearing cache/data on both apps but that didn't help. At one point I thought it was because I was using an older version of Tapatalk but someone else reported the same issue on the latest version. I think it might be up to the dev at this point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lanwarrior:
Yeah, I was using the old version and most activity (open a notification, reply, etc) caused this dreaded error.

I think the dev have abandoned three old version and working towards the new one. Version 4 is laggy though and I hate the new notification page.

Samsung uses them on the Note 3 and s5. The website says it was tested on the s4.

Really hoping to see it on a future update.

Obviously the bogus cpu benchmark overclocking was removed so I know Samsung could add it.

How can i debloat my galaxy s4? its rooted and i have Safestrap, however im running stock firmware not a custom rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Oishikatta:
Try Hyperdrive, it's better than stock.

Or just use titanium backup to freeze whatever you don't want - freezing hides from app drawer/etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Marshmellow92:
Last time I used hyper drive battery was ****. Well not very well compared to stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Well some people use a one click debloater that can be found in these forums.. I prefer to do it myself though using Titanium Backup. Its a good idea though to " freeze " the apps your looking to get rid of first then run your phone for a few days to make sure everything still works good. Then you can uninstall them. Or at least back them up to your external SD card before uninstalling. There's also lists on here that people made of everything they've safely removed. Good luck!

I go 36 hrs to 48hrs between charging. ..safestrap running hd15...

Would anyone with an M8 be able to say whether or not they have ANT+ connectivity?

I know the spec sheets don't mention it. I also know of some other handsets which had ANT+ even though it wasn't shown in the spec sheets.

I know there won't be many others like me but it is a kind of deal breaker for me. Bluetooth 4 doesn't quite hack it when trying to sync to multiple devices.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omricn:
I know some of you wont even read this thread.. due to it's popularity, but I just have to share my experience with 4.4.2 battery issues.

This is going to be a bit long (I just made 50% of you run away..) so sit back.

About two weeks ago I decided to flash the stock 4.4.2 that came out, and so I did, everything went smooth, no problems what so ever.

I also decided to root my device for the first time, just so I could change some system sounds and use root explorer, nothing more. so I did.

since then I started noticing the battery was not as it used to be, I would usually get home after work (~9-10 hours) and have 50-70% battery left depending on my phone usage that day. Now I was getting home with 30-20% and have to plug it in in the evening.

From what I saw in the battery stats in 'settings', it looked as if the phone is waking up every minute or so, for a couple of seconds, rather than sleeping when the screen is off, it got to the point I had less than an hour of screen time and the phone was about to shut down.

So I installed BBS, cpu spy, wake detector and started monitoring everything, in short I'll just say it got me nowhere, the stats were random at best, making me disable exchange services, Gmail sync, Google plus sync, Google now and more.

So after some time I got fed up, and decided to do a full system wipe, including system\data etc. basically everything, back to 4.4.2 stock, no apps, nothing installed except what comes with the phone.

Again, same behavior, another system wipe, same behavior.

I've been wiping the phone more than I was using it for the past 2 weeks, and yesterday I decided to try a different approach, I disabled EVERYTHING, the phone was basically just a 'phone'. NOW I was getting somewhere, phone was sleeping as soon as the screen was off, not waking up at all. and so I started enabling stuff, first my apps, everything still OK, then Google sync, OK, exchange sync, OK, location - BOOM - phone waking up again..

So, Location is the culprit after all, I started disabling stuff like Google location history, location reporting, WIFI scan networks, set locations to power saving mode, NADA. basically I have to turn off 'locations' all together in order for the phone to last more than half a day.

And that's my 4.4.2 experience for you.

Anyone has the same experience?

I'm this close to selling my S4 and getting a Nexus5.. my wife's Nexus 5 is amazing, everything set to ON, battery lasts 2.5 days..

Thakns for reading people.

Attached are two examples of the phone staying awake all the time, and not sleeping regularly. I did not take a screenshot of when the 'Locations' was off, but it was consistent with the screen on time, when the screen was off the phone was sleeping, no exceptions.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threeph:
My s4 is experiencing the same problem, battery life sucks. I noticed that if you do not turn on the screen after unplugging the phone battery doesn't drain for hours. But after you turn it on for the first time the battery just drops about 10% every hour since. Now I'm trying to completely disable the location as you did, I'll let you know!
