I'm in the same boat; 1.12.401.17, HBoot 3.16. If tried on both Viper and ARHD roms, both the old and new firewatter, and it's had hundreds of bottles by now. I give up for now.

I hope to see a solution soon.

Cheers,

Sounds like it could be firmware related
[One (M8) Original Android Development] nick1313:
You still on TMO? Didn't think they had the phone out yet.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] mattisfaction:
I'm on the same firmware, stupidly I didn't back up my original Rom, have rooted and installed custom, cid is orang001. You ain't by any chance got the same handset and point me in the direction of the right firmware, as am I do understand I cannot get an update from orange now through HTC and obviously can't flash a conflicting firmware to solve not being able to s off
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dkotoric:
awesome thanks, that was easy
[One (M8) Original Android Development] kuailan:
Can you please tell me what do you get when you type the following: ?

adb shell cat "/sys/devices/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/cid"
[One (M8) Original Android Development] ks2332:
Just a heads up if you guys uninstall HTC sync like it says you loose drivers thus no adb at least that's what happened to me!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] the_scotsman:
You shouldn't. In the add/remove programs, there should be two listings. HTC Sync, and HTC Driver Install.

But after uninstalling HTC Sync, you need to reboot your computer, or you will lose adb etc. I'd say that's what happened with you.

So If one does have achieved s off what is the command for locking bootloader again? :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] nick1313:
Has anyone been able to s-off on htc dev locked AT&T M8? I run the weaksauce app and it says root failure.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] fix-this!:
where do you get this supercid?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] cc999:
Developer Edition

Has anyone been able to achieve S-OFF on a Stock Developers Edition

Purchased directly from HTC? If so please advise step by step I would

Be greatly appreciated.

The question I always wanted to ask who buys a dev edition and don't know what it's for? Lol anyway read through the thread I have a locked bootloader dev edition and I unlocked the bootloader I'm now s off I won't even bother giving u a step by step just go to firewater.com
[One (M8) Original Android Development] cc999:
Question

Do I have to root before the firewater or just run the firewater (the root section)? My dev edition is already unlocked from HTC.

I am not a total noob I had my M7 s-off the day the method was released,

I just want to make sure on what to do. Thank you in advance for the help

I really appreciate it.

View attachment 2676307 can someone tell me why my (radio) and (opendsp) saying invalid version please?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] kuailan:
I guess that's why you can get the S-off.....mine start with 90014xxxxx...and from all the feedback the exploit will not work on it. I thought all the Aussie stocks will have something similar....I guess I am wrong...at this stage I have to wait a little longer....
[One (M8) Original Android Development] beaups:
Latest version of firewater will advise users of they have an incompatible device. Please don't speculate on what the issues are here. There is good reason we don't share these things.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] kuailan:
Well...I have already tried the latest version.....and that confirm it that my device are not supported. Plus from whatever I have read here in the threads, the same number also failed. (so I dont think this is just a mere speculation out of the blue) But thanks to Josh sharing me the info....I learned that not all aussie device will have the same or similar CID.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Sensor1:
would also like to know where this came from.

thought it happend when i went back to stock and updated from 1.12.206.17 to 1.54.206.5 with a 1.12.401.17 stock recovery.

adb shell cat "/sys/devices/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/cid

1501004d414732474303b53648a51100
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Onem8:
I had the same.. Don't worry after a time it's come back. Btw it can not harm your phone ;)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Timnyce19:
Oh ok thanks had me kind of skeptical there for a bit when I boot into fastboot and saw that invalid thing, so does it come back after a few reboots? Just suddenly on its own?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Onem8:
a little more time, with me.. i had first no radio and openDSP(but still worked) then it came back with INVALID_VER_INFO and then back to normal :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Timnyce19:
Oh ok, little bit weird though. But thanks for the heads up man[emoji3][emoji106]
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
I also get INVALID_VER_INFO for radio and opendsp causes no issues and guess its just a visual thing that will be fixed later.

Curiously after flashing the firmware.zip in the ota manually my ver-main was restored, but it all makes no difference to it at all.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Hogyoku:
My radio & open dsp dont even show up in my bootloader >..< Im on M8_UL PVT CID H39_001 have been trying S off for the last couple of day with every posible pc setup know and no luck at al ...:eek:
[One (M8) Original Android Development] heslo.rb26:
Well, after what has felt like a million attempts...... I'M FINALLY S-OFF!!!

As to what I did differently..... nothing. Even used a USB 3.0 port on my Surface Pro 2. Tried to do it on 3 machines and many attempts on all. Some times the phone rebooted, some times all 12 bottles and nothing. This time, first bottle and S-OFF.

For those that do have phones able to be exploited at this stage; don't give up, it will work eventually!

Now to go through it all again with the missus' phone :laugh:
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Onem8:
I have now opened 4000 bottles.. gonna try another 1000 :) YOU GIVE ME HOPE ;)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jaythenut:
No bottles for me just can't be done I'm on Viper unlocked uk anything i can do then all the tricks on here I think I've tried them all
[One (M8) Original Android Development] heslo.rb26:
I too was going to give up but I was sitting in front of the TV watching The Following and thought why the hell not, I'll give it another go. Second time around and BAM, success on the first bottle. I'm unsure as to why the exploit doesn't work for so long then all of a sudden it does but I'll leave that to people smarter than I to figure out. I just give them my thanks :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] techenthusiast:
Name of the game, KEEP TRYING.

CID-VODAP001

I just kept trying. Thats all you can do. Screenlock was not off. Didn't ADB reboot.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] heslo.rb26:
You got it! My screenlock wa off however, but like you I didn't ADB reboot. I honestly think those variables matter not, it's just a game of repetition
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Forsaked:
Awesome, whith which ROM did you archived it?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] techenthusiast:

[One (M8) Original Android Development] Onem8:
Can you say wha you tried or what you leave out.. did you restart your computer or something else :)

Wifi or h,3g,4g ?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jaythenut:
Even if I'm not getting any bottles
[One (M8) Original Android Development] heslo.rb26:
Not getting bottles? Where is it stopping for you?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] techenthusiast:
Sounds like its stalling then, if its longer then 2 mins reboot device.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jaythenut:
It's saying something like your phone is not compatible so stop trying lol
[One (M8) Original Android Development] techenthusiast:
Ah well then you answered your own question :D
[One (M8) Original Android Development] blubbers:
no offense, but it is not like the hardware manufacturers suddenly forgot how to reverse engineer a 50kb binary
[One (M8) Original Android Development] heslo.rb26:
Yes, if you're getting that error you can't exploit your phone at this time. There seem to be two different hardware configurations out at this time; one of which won't work with firewater
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Timnyce19:
This is the message I gotten when tried to s-off on Windows 8 harsh one lol View attachment 2676598
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
I am always surprised how much better the quality is when people take photos of their monitor instead of pressing print screen.

But I can just about make it out saying your device isn't yet supported.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] WreckTangle:
Just to check with you guys, is the phone screen supposed to turn off once firewater goes to "preparing, one moment"?

I don't have a message stating my phone can't be s-offed, so if the screen is supposed to do this, I will keep trying until it works.

Also, I have had some tries where the phone will be turned off and the command prompt looks like attached pic.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Hogyoku:
So if you dont get that message would that still mean it should be possible to S-off ?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Yes and you must not turn it back on or otherwise touch the device.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Onem8:
When preparing, one moment. My screen turn off so it would be normal. Keep on trying i'm now on 200 bottles :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] heslo.rb26:
:laugh: Brilliant :laugh:
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Timnyce19:
Sorry lol for the bad shot. Yea saying my device is not supported and some other stuff, I have a UK model cid H3G__001 so I don't understand. But I think I'll just wait a bit till someone like revone or others comes out with something more accurate.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jaythenut:
I've found one little thing if you download the 1st link you get not compatible but if you download 2nd link it drinks upto 12

But still no luck lol
[One (M8) Original Android Development] telc:
Im one of the unlucky ones that firewater does not support to s-off. I'm just wondering if anyone knows if there are any plans to get firewater to support these devices?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
If you don't get the message you at the very least know your device could be capable, its mostly added to let some folks know they have to wait a bit longer.

If you don't see that message and are still trying then from what I have seen in this thread, some people have tried for a few days now and then for reasons they can't explain it has just worked.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Hogyoku:
Thanks for the info !

Guess i'll keep on trying then :p

Just wondering if anyone has had any luck on CID H39_001

Sorry I didn't know that. Just the WWE versions?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
No those that see the message saying you cannot S-Off at this time.

What you can take away from a message saying you cannot S-Off, is that you cannot S-Off at this time. This program exists to S-Off so if you cannot S-Off then you have to wait. For more information see the message that says you cannot S-Off.

To summarise, you cannot S-Off yet.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] kman79:
Just got home from work and read this whole thread last night

Hmmm...not sure how I'm this lucky, I should really walk to the nearest corner store and buy a lotto ticket!

S-Off granted with first try and first bottle!

Nothing special done. Will elaborate on all I did in one second. The kid needs his breakfast
[One (M8) Original Android Development] broncogr:
Its becoming more and more apparent that the latest WWE batches in EU from stores like Amazon as well as those for carriers that weren't on the first release batch are exhibiting the issue...
[One (M8) Original Android Development] :
True, mine's the WWE variant and s-off does not work on it yet either.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Well we have seen that HTC will use multiple suppliers for screens, microphones (after Nokia through their fit) -even differing versions of the 801 itself, I am sure it is the same for many components inside. As long as the various parts meet the minimum criteria of what HTC have specified, then its all good.

I am pretty sure HTC didn't pick a region that would be harder to exploit and send certain batches (with differnet hardware or firmwares) there, I am pretty sure that if they knew how Beaups had found their way in they would have patched it before (if possible) and will likely patch it as soon as they discover how (if possible).

Although I am one of those stuck S-On at the moment, I am so pumped and excited from the initial launch of this device and the speed at which development has taken off.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] broncogr:
Indeed, I never said that it was intentional from HTC's part.

Just that the latest batches for that specific region seem to exhibit the issue...
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Onem8:
i am stil trying.. 3 day in a row :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
If only :D

I was in Carphone Warehouse while they were being announced and explaining to the salesperson I really needed a nano sim for my new device before the launch announcement was over. HTC shipped an incredible number of devices on day one.

Actually I got mine on the Friday from the three store week it was released. A friend got his from a thee store on the day before, exact same as mine.

I was able to s-off and he cant! Really random.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Onem8:
Boys i am S-OFF :)

So i did it on this way after 3 days of trying.

follow firewater instruction.

then type yes and when it comes in firewater to preparing, one moment.

Copy any custom rom to your internal sd-card.

First bottle S-OFF :)

But with this way you can BRICK your device, so think twice!!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] kman79:
ETA:

Here's what I did for those that care

Purchased the phone from AT&T online

Received it yesterday. Software number 1.12.502.18

Used HTCDev to unlock the bootloader

Used this tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2699065

To Root and Install TWRP

Installed HTC SynManager and it installed the drivers. I LEFT HTC SYNCMANAGER INSTALLED. I was going to uninstall HTC Syncmanager if I ran into problems

Turned off Screenlock

From Developers Menu, made sure I checked do not put device to sleep when plugged in

Screen Timeout was set to 1 hour

USB Debugging on

Install from Unknown Sources was checked as well

My AndroidSDK folder is in the root of my C: Drive, I placed the firewater file in the Platform Tools folder and "Shift+Right Click" and selected Open Command Window Here

I followed the steps posted on the firewater-soff.com site

adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp

adb shell

su

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater

/data/local/tmp/firewater

I DID NOT DO ADB REBOOT COMMAND

I don't think I did anything special, but in case anyone else has an AT&T Phone with the same software number, you could give it a try and let us know how it turns out?

Good luck folks!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Congrats but you could have toasted the whole internal sdcard just as easily, would advise everyone not to touch, don't even turn the screen on.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] omar302:
Thanks. I tried like 10 times before with no luck, then tried your way & copied a custom ROM while the message showed showed opening 1st bottle & got S-Off on the 2nd bottle.

I have a UK, HTC__001, updated to 1.54 then unlocked through HTCDev & installed IncertCoin. Was on IncertCoin 2.1.6 when I got the S-Off.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Onem8:

[One (M8) Original Android Development] Onem8:
I was on ARHD 3.4 but i think you could use any custom rom.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] lukemo:
Sorry EP, do you think that the risk to use that method is so high?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Well people should be aware it could be a risk, but who knows? I can see it is helping lots of people!

Anyone who runs firewater accepts the risk of what it could do,, although literally touching wood, I have yet to see any bricks.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] beanbean50:
Bingo..!

after 3 days and thousands of bottles copying a rom to the internal sdcard while installing was the answer :laugh: ..

well done matey, well done :D
[One (M8) Original Android Development] WreckTangle:
Thank you very much. Been at it since yesterday evening. Tried it your way and thought I needed to try one more time, since firewater seemed to have stopped and got back to the command prompt. Rebooted and ran firewater again, got a message stating that there's not a lot to do here, so rebooted into bootloader and noticed I got S-OFF :good:
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Diddy555:
Did anyone try the rom copy method with old firewater with a device thats not supported by new one?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] mwilky:
Seems the best advice we have yet! Will try when I'm home
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Suspect not, but would love to be proved wrong, also don't have the old version handy any more :(
[One (M8) Original Android Development] lukemo:
The problem is that I don't have the old one and with the new no success even copying the ROM (same message not supported device)

Has anybody the old one to share?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] mushages:
sometimes you have to ask stupid questions. i am stock and locked should i unlock it first from HTCdev then S-off? or S-off will unlock it too?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] kickassdave:
I am pretty sure it says you need to be unlocked in the "prerequisites" section on their site.

Find the previously mentioned fix of copying a ROM over while it's working is quite funny, will try when home.

It would tend to suggest certain hardware functions aren't being called correctly or something is going to "sleep" and the exploit itself isn't programmed to wake it up. Very interesting.

I would have thought copying any large file to the phone would have the same effect however.
