I'm one of the lucky few with a Three UK M8 that could s-off, worked on 5th bottle
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
transferring a 1gb size (or greater) file to sd when firewater is saying "preparing, one moment please" you need to do it as soon as it says that and no other time as it WILL brick otherwise. This is a very risky method but some have said it works
[One (M8) General] omf05:
I have a T-Mobile HTC One M8 *US* version and I cannot get S-OFF.

I hear some people have gotten it to work.

I alway get the ....... and after the update I get the not compatible message.

Seem's odd that some phones work and some don't.
[One (M8) General] Rouz.:
I'm sorry guys, I did a quick search but I couldn't find a decent answer. Can someone explain this "bottle" thing to me? I would deeply appreciate it

[One (M8) General] E_n_T:
I had to reurn my device to store. Volumerocker was way out of order. That device was made in china. I canceled the buy completly and went for a silver one. Made in taiwan. Never had to move file. It worked on first try with firewater. Check where ur phone was made. Thats my hunch on why it wont work for so many

[One (M8) General] an0ther:
This may have already been covered, but if not… There are 2 versions of firewater. I used the original on my at&t model and it worked instantly. My friend brought me his sprint one the other day and it would not work. I downloaded it again off site after a sprint moderator told me there were multiple versions and it worked first try. Make sure you try both versions.
[One (M8) General] Zach23:
Where is this other version?
[One (M8) General] an0ther:
The one they are currently hosting on their website is newer one. Im not sure of a link to older one but if you msg me your email i can send it to you.
[One (M8) General] Zach23:
PM sent!
[One (M8) General] an0ther:
Email with old and new sent. Please let us know if either works for you. They are both from official site. Not sure when they changed code, but they are different. Old one worked on my att but not sprint, new one worked on sprint.
[One (M8) General] aki0306:
what is older version of firewater??
[One (M8) General] subhumanderelict:
Mind if you shot them both to me as well? Thanks!
[One (M8) General] broncogr:
Get the latest from the official site.

Its mentioned in the thread in Original Dev.

If the new one gives out the failure message then the old one wont work either...
[One (M8) General] subhumanderelict:
Ah, I should've clarified; there seems to be some confusion as to when the new version was posted. I realize that the new version should support all the phones that the old version supported, but given how finicky this whole process is, I'd prefer to try both if the new version fails (whichever file that is).

[One (M8) General] Try4Ce:
Well, according to tweets, further s-off binary updates may not be coming in since its working on most devices.

I for one can't get s-off to work with firewater, always get the "whelp" message. Makes me kind of sad since I s-off'ed all my previous HTC devices. If its true, my M8 will be the first one I can not get S-Off ...

Well, at least I am rooted. Too bad I cant go fully GPE converted ;)
[One (M8) General] billydroid:
I really hope that's not true.
[One (M8) General] Try4Ce:
Well its not a confirmed event, but according to this tweet:

[One (M8) General] Zach23:
Justin Case ‏@TeamAndIRC 13h
[MENTION=5813330]shane21075[/MENTION] it has nothing to do with that impossible

Is he saying that it's impossible to s-off the "whelp" devices?
[One (M8) General] crx4xharder:
Nothings impossible! If he can't do it, someone else will.
[One (M8) General] KidCarter93:
You say that as if it's an easy thing to do, so much so that anyone remotely skilled would be able to do it.

Look back through the devices which have S-Off and see how many different developers have actually achieved it. You'll find that there's only a small group of developers who have been doing so.
[One (M8) General] crx4xharder:
It's far from easy... But isn't that what this whole community is based on? The irreplaceable desire to achieve the impossible? There is always someone smarter or better equipped right around the corner. I respect and greatly appreciate everything android developers do. Without them we would only have android branded iPhones. I find it hard to believe that no capable developer out there has a "whelp" device. That alone is fuel for the fire.
[One (M8) General] wase4711:
one thing some of you are forgetting is that not everyone needs/wants/thinks s-off is critical to do things with this phone..I'm sure that eventually it will work for everyone, but since you can flash roms, root, flash kernels, and do backups with out it, its not "mission critical"..
[One (M8) General] crx4xharder:
I can't achieve S=off but I am running venom 1.31. I agree it is not crucial. In the past, I had an issue where I had to resort to an RUU and couldn't flash because the current Rom was a higher version of android than any available Tmobile RUU and I hadn't changed to Supercid. After figuring out why it wouldn't flash, it was fine but had I had Supercid, it would have saved me some time. This and splash screens are my main reasons for wanting S=off.
[One (M8) General] billydroid:
It's sure nice to have. Can't do a full gpe conversion without it, SIM unlock or flashing non T-Mobile ruu's. But certainly not crucial.
[One (M8) General] Shebee:
Thinking of getting a M8, while I know what S off technically means, what are the practical applications?

I want to ditch my S4 because you cannot revert to stock and reset the phone (binary counter) to 100% stock to get warranty back from a rooted phone.

Can I root, flash roms play around etc and still get to 100% factory state and have warranty on the M8?
[One (M8) General] exad:
If you can get S-off then yes but not all phones are capable of achieving s-off and there is no way of knowing if it is without trying.

On a personal note, if i was so concerned with warranty, I wouldn't be rooting/modding
[One (M8) General] Shebee:
Warranty is just a plus, but still I wanted to ask.

So which models can get s off currently? Also is there a way to reset tampered flag (like knox on samsung) get s off away, and reset to stock without root and still send it in?
[One (M8) General] RossMacgill:
like said above, no way to tell if it can be s off without trying it. if you s off then you can remove the tampered flag. you cant get s off away but then you can just turn it back on if you wanted (but not recommended) but you dont need to s on to get back to stock, just flash a stock rom.

Some people say leave it s off if you need to send it back, as some leave HTC with s off and just play like you have no idea what s off is etc etc
[One (M8) General] grentuu:
I am just confused as to whether the actual reason for it not being possible for some devices is known? To state it isn't possible suggests it is.

If the reason is a hardware one that cannot be beaten at least people would know. If it is a software one that currently can't that would spur some people to look at it.

This might be simplistic but I think people are just interested in why theirs can't be done.

(Not that I could fix it if I knew! and that may be a clue as to why the reason isn't being thrown out there)
[One (M8) General] exad:
The team who discovered the exploit and released firewater do not want to disclose the information they have and that's their right.
[One (M8) General] MCube74:
On my HTC one M8 Asia version, I was also getting the Whelp message and saying it was opening several bottles or somethig but finally my phone got the S-Off.

May be you need to keep trying.
[One (M8) General] billydroid:
Could you please explain . How many attempts before success. The procedure you used, what OS your PC has. Firewalls etc..

Thanks
[One (M8) General] Zach23:
I am also interesting in hearing how you managed to get s-off.
[One (M8) General] exad:
I call bull****.
[One (M8) General] beaups:

[One (M8) General] MCube74:
I followed this guide and managed to get s-off

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--Hlms1BuPg

The firewater tool took a bit longer for me than the guide but my HTC One M8 finally got S-Off, just like the guide. I just followed the guide and let the program do its thing.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
Well u can't have seen this message obviously
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
plus the title of that video is misleading, to say firewater currently runs on all

m8s is utter bullsh#t :eek:
[One (M8) General] MCube74:
Strange it worked for me. It asked me to send all my money as I got S-off
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
Did you ever see that message I posted above? If so you know something the devs don't lol :p
[One (M8) General] RossMacgill:
that message has been spoken about many many times, some devices can be s off, some can't, the dev's know this, and to save you time on trying, they give you that message, if the device is compatible, then it chuggs and tries to do its thing.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
I know, I was merely trying to say that mcube could not have had that message lol :good:

S-ff after update?

[MENTION=5806142]Onem8[/MENTION]

Did you try before you updated?
[One (M8) General] Onem8:
It has nothing to do with software, it is a hardware problem. First i updated my phone to 1.54.401.5 and get s-off easy :D
[One (M8) General] broncogr:
The update to 1.54 has nothing to do with the whelp... message.

One would get it with either version.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
As yet no one knows whats causing it exactly, corerct?
[One (M8) General] Electronic Punk:
Pretty sure the developers do which is why they now present the whelp message rather having us fruitlessly go through 12 chugs repeatedly if our device didn't have a reboot frenzy.

It isn't random - our devices have a hardware difference which makes them incompatible and will require a different exploit.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
ok thanks!!!!
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
The problem that it doesn't work now is that there is some "special cid" inside which can we only see with an cat command over adv shell or drirectly in terminal on phone...then it will show a long number and if something at the beginning is with 914000 or so it won't work with that device...I also tried to get s-off run the command to see if I have this device and yes...it is...but forgot how the command was -.- and I think the devs will work on it...if not Firewater then some others

[One (M8) General] downwiththebanksters:
I'm having a strange problem. Am HTCDev bootloader unlocked and rooted, ADB devices shows device, I ADB reboot, and then when I adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp it hangs for a long time. I've tried all kinds of cancels with reboots so both devices are fresh, but it still always hangs for a long time with no file being pushed. I went into TWRP and confirmed that /data/local/tmp exists, so what could be the problem trying to push from my Win7 HP, Asus N56VZ. Could my problem be this computer only has USB 3.0 ports? I'm afraid to use anything other than adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp to get firewater into the correct directory.
[One (M8) General] trentoid:
S-Offed my HTC One M8 now :)
[One (M8) General] downwiththebanksters:
The MTP USB driver is stubbornly refusing to get installed. It says, after a long wait, error: protocol fault (no status). Could the MTP driver be it? I thought Android debugging would open the device up for flashing, and MTP was only for media, so not necessary for what is being done here? Do I need to put the device serial number in the command string like this adb -s [yourdeviceserialnumberhere] push firewater /data/local/tmp ? I'm assuming something that critical would have been clearly indicated in the instructions.

I've now used a different Samsung USB cord, still nothing.
[One (M8) General] oRAirwolf:
Try installing and uninstalling HTC Sync. That fixed the MTP driver problem for me.

I'm tempted to do the push while firewater but don't know quite how to, or if I'm fast enough to execute the command between when I click enter of firewater, and when the whelp comes up. Further reading shows perhaps whelp devices can not benefit from pushing a large file during the firewater process, can anyone confirm this is correct?
[One (M8) General] EtherealRemnant:
Amazing. I have a FA44EWM device (mine was made on the 14th of April in the same factory as yours which was made on the 11th) and I have S-OFF. That really does suck that it's that random.

Anyway the devs have said that the file trick has caused bricks and not to try it because of the risk.
[One (M8) General] downwiththebanksters:
I'm would have guessed the difference is in our CID's because I'm in Taiwan, but surprisingly you have the same CID on a device bought in America. I'm in a quandary whether to just live with the device as it is, or wait a few more days. If an exploit comes soon I'll do all the setup and then be forced to erase all that work. I guess a nandroid saves the pain of reinstalling as I think s-off'ing won't materially affect the OS. I also worry there may be some kind of update, a la KNOX, or some new firmware that HTC tries to sneak onto our devices and makes s-off impossible. I know for any major update I have to allow it, and being rooted is another hurdle for this to impact me, I'm just paranoid....
[One (M8) General] EtherealRemnant:
Well we have different CIDs (I'm using a T-Mobile branded M8 TMOB-010 if I remember correctly, might not have the hyphen) but yeah our serial numbers are insanely close.

From the way it is looking, HTC has some devices with exploitable hardware (I'm assuming the eMMC is the different part just based on history of how S-OFF has been obtained), while others aren't. Since yours is older than mine, if you trade yours you could possibly get one that is able to be S-OFF.

As for HTC implementing something like KNOX, it is doubtful. It's a possibility but highly unlikely. KNOX is much more than just a tamper flag. HTC devices have always had tamper flags when they have been developer unlocked and KNOX is a Samsung patent if I remember correctly and the last HTC needs is another patent lawsuit right now. They will just continue to patch S-OFF exploits as they always have.

If history is any indicator, devices that are flat out getting the whelp message are in for a long wait and may never actually be fixed. These exploits are something HTC tries very hard not to have. I would think that newer devices would be impacted though not older ones. That's odd to me.

I'd love to know what that means. He cracked one of the game consoles once didn't he?

I'm dying to find out why my device gets whelp. Is it that I have the higher clocked Qualcomm 801 chip at 2.5GHz in my EMEA version? If that's the case I'd think about dumping this one quick, and importing one that is s-off, or at least s-off-able. Can anyone say if there is an Arctic Silver 32GB GPE, or dev version? I think they are both grey? Every signature here that I see that says S-off, CID 111111111 is like a tiny dagger plunging into my heart. I wake up at night screaming WHY??!? WHY!??!?
