It's not down to CID, it's down to some internal differences apparently that allow some to work and not others

Who would have thought it figures...

Yahooo!!!!!

Thanks dude! After hundreds of bottles I gave up. I had to try your method, and indeed, on the second bottle I had S-OFF! So fixed the tampered message and the red tekst on the splash screen. /Me is all happy :!

Cheers,

/Cacti
[One (M8) Original Android Development] shorty1483:
Actually this trick is for sure a bit risky...but what should I say, it simply works, right after first bottle!

For users with German o2 Device, FW 1.12.206.17, CID o2___102 -> Look at the screenshots

But as [MENTION=5806142]Onem8[/MENTION] and some other users suggest, risk of bricking device is there. Just Big Spenders or Brave Guys...
[One (M8) Original Android Development] mwilky:
Wow didnt think it would work but it does!

Anyone with issues soon as it says preparing, copy a file (big so it takes time) to your phone storage and it s-offs you straight away!

Thanks whoever suggested it!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] vj4:
Has anyone that gets the incompatible message got it working with the old file and file transfer trick working?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dcfowler:
Worked for me first time with the file copy method. I was using a large video file, so appears that any old large file will do the trick.

Slightly off topic but is the best code to use 11111111? Thanks.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] starbase64:
YES, now S-OFF !!!!!!!

HTC__102 is S-OFF now FW 1.54.401.5
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dazbutler1:
just tried it now after having got the incompatible message with the newer firewater. Unfortunately still just chuggs away. Damn
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Not really :)

Personally I found 11111111 changed my 4g to lte and other things I wasn't joyous about. Ultimately, you could change it to whatever you want, any hilarious 8 characters. If you want the fastest OTA wait for teh reports then change it to that - did it all the time on my M7. Scandinavia got KK first on the M7, job done.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] okti35:
Hi

which method you use? Normal rooted methode or weak sauce method ?

thx
[One (M8) Original Android Development] meleelord:
Can confirm copying rom over at same time worked!!!!!!!!! :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] lukemo:
Me too, no way.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] gaiden0000:
I'm going to ask a dumb question, but what colour is your M8 from 3UK as mine is silver and I tried over and over and finally got it to work. I'm now enjoying not having the Tampered on my screen, although I wish I'd had waited and did it without unlocking from HTC Dev.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] sean.trinidade:
So have people been transferring a file during the process via adb (in a seperate teminal window) or just simply using windows?

Strangely, am using the latest firewater file, and although am not getting any error messages, still cant get further then 12 bottles so thought I'd give this "hack" a try...
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
I would assume just via file explorer?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] meleelord:
Using windows transfer the rom zip over to your internal storage when it says preparing just before the first bottle
[One (M8) Original Android Development] starbase64:
unlocked with htcdev.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Onem8:
From windows to internal storage.. use a custom rom.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Forsaked:
Copy a ROM to internal Space while open Bottles works fine!

[One (M8) Original Android Development] Raptylos:
I can confirm the ROM-Copy method as well. Open at first bottle. Thanks for that hint !
[One (M8) Original Android Development] carloss2013:
can somebody please upload the old firewater deleted mine :(
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Its a page or 2 back, ultimately this method does not appear to be helping those that the new version tells are incompatible, so there is really no reason to try it, unless you really need to find out yourself :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dazbutler1:
can confirm if you get incompatible device with new version then copying files etc with old version will make no difference
[One (M8) Original Android Development] atomantmk:
Hi, can you explain how to do that, please!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Forsaked:
Done!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] stuart0001:
Now I'm confused. I thought we had to unlock the bootloader via HTC dev for this to work.

I need to do more reading.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Raptylos:
Just start firewater as usual. On that moment, "preparing, one moment" is displayed, start copying a rom on the internal sdcard of your phone via windows explorer.

Good luck ;)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] atomantmk:
It's working, thanks a lot.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] carloss2013:
can confirm copying file to internal storage on the old firewater does not work if u get the message on the new firewater :( :confused:
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Adamnation:
I have no idea why you even thought to try/risk this but my God thank you for saving my sanity.

Oh, not sure if it matters but I left Daydream on.

Can you transfer any file or does it have to be a ROM?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] hami_kloe:
it worked: file copy trick

Lucky me. After trying for two days I finally get to s-off.

Copied a viper rom to sd card and when it finished copying still opening bottels. So I copied again and after 7th bottel I got s-off.

Bought my HTC in Switzerland at digitec. I guess one of the first M8 that have been sold last Friday.

Thank you to all who helped to get this done.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] Zinta:
In terms of trying it with the transfer, I'm on a mac so would it be different to transfer a file as I would need to open the sync manager as the android transfer doesn't open properly anymore.. The latest firewater is coming up as not being compatible whilst I can still chug with the first one, would this make any difference? (on H3G_001 if that would make a difference) I've read the majority of the thread but am thinking that for know I can't get S-Off?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] thejosh86:
Unfortunately you have to wait. If it says you're not compatible the file transfer method won't make any difference from the posts I've read.

+1 "transfer method" worked for me!

Unlocked via HTCDev, InsertCoin, TWRP

Tried i a thousand times with the "normal method", then saw the "transfer method" and tried it -> BAM! S-OFF! :D -> flashed "no red warning hboot" and now im happy :D :laugh:
[One (M8) Original Android Development] FitzysN6:
Looks like I might possibly be the first brick trying the transfer method (on a phone that previously said I couldn't use the hack).

Phone did work immediately afterwards, but once my dot case closed over and the screen turned off I cannot restart phone. No adb connection either.

Edit - Power button and volume up finally worked, so just an FYI for anyone else that experiences this - don't panic like I just did !!

Large file transfer works for everyone but me. My CID is HTC__044... Lucky, you guys... I suppose I'll just wait for an update. [emoji53]

I can confirm that on Mac OS X Mavericks I have managed S-Off.

Here is my method:

Follow normal steps to start firewater.

At the "preparing, one moment" message do:

$ adb push <some large file> /storage/sdcard0/

On bottle 2 I got S-Off!

Awesome guys!!!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] sean.trinidade:
Can also confirm that copying a file while chugging got me S-OFF as well! :D

Well done to both the team and however first dared to try copying a file!!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] vinylee79:
Whoever figured this out...well done, and thank you! I would have just kept trying and trying the normal method, and probably would have wasted my whole week otherwise. Thanks again :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] nags92:
Can someone from the UK who's S-OFF has been successful confirm the following for me please

Did you unlock the bootloader via HTCDev first then root ?

or

Did you have full stock locked and use the temproot method ?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] vectrac19:
Did you unlock the bootloader via HTCDev first then root ? - Yes

I am on O2 - UK
[One (M8) Original Android Development] ama3654:
I unlocked Bootloader following this All in one toolkit, installed recovery and rooted with same kit, then firewater with copying large file to S-Off
[One (M8) Original Android Development] nags92:
Thanks !

Looks like i'm gonna have to unlock via HTCDev then.

I just hope i don't have any issues in the future and have to do a warranty return :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] stuart0001:
If you are successful in S-Off'ing then I believe you can remove any trace of ulocking on your phone. Just because you downloaded the unlock code from HTCdev doesn't mean you used it :victory:
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Well apart from what details you pass HTC directly during the process.

But in my experience when I have gone into a phone store or CEX to sell the device, I get the impression they don't even know what a bootloader is.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Onem8:
The joke of the day..

My phone had a yellow shine when i bought it, but i waited for today for bringing him in. Really difficult because i had s-off.

So i get a new phone, tried firewater. My new phone is not supported DAMN :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] EddyOS:
But just because you've asked for the code doesn't mean you've used it (unless the unlock process sends back information to HTC)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] mattisfaction:
I'm on ee in the UK, gotta branded handset. Copied file while completing process, worked fine.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] beanbean50:
Oh dear, isn't ironic, don't ya think? better change your signature now I suppose!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] stuart0001:
Excellent news. I'll be giving my EE one a go tonight as long as there's no obvious hardware faults.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Yeah I see that side of the argument, but before even getting that far in the process you have to accept that parts of your warranty may be voided - which in interesting wording. I won't even look up info on QFuses!

Basically if you dev off and then have an issue unrelated to that, your warranty will be fine, but you might have to fight a little to get them to explain how a custom rom could not have caused a particular issue.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] carloss2013:
im on ee uk brought from phones4u does't work for me :(
[One (M8) Original Android Development] EddyOS:
I just don't see why OEM can't just accept and modding world and actively embrace it, but that's another topic altogether and not for here so end of OT! :D

Nice that S-OFF seems to work for most, definitely gonna get me an M8 now - it's just a question of when!

Since i have been trying, my device is plugged into the usb port of my pc. How come my battery indicator shows now 1%? Three hours ago, it was fully charged.I really don't get it...

Any ideas?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Onem8:
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.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] stuart0001:
I believe phones from there are unbranded and it seems these are the ones failing (but not all).

I've got mine direct from EE so its branded. Ironically I normally avoided branded but with this soff it might be beneficial for a change.

EE branded here and can't get s-off
[One (M8) Original Android Development] carloss2013:
i orderd mine fromm ee but then realised i could get a free case and speaker at phones4u so orderd from there and cancelled the one from ee now i dont no if it was worth the freebies :(
[One (M8) Original Android Development] mattisfaction:
Mine was direct from ee, cid was orang01, mine also must have been one of the first batch, as I believe that the hardware in these complies with the s off procedure. So many things to stop it working. Hope you're successful one day soon.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] animaleyes76:
Off topic but i had a similar problem once. Had 89% battery, rebooted, it showed 1% and wouldn't budge and had to do a FR :(
[One (M8) Original Android Development] timsah:
Ok, the battery indicator shows simply wrong numbers. Without charging I have now 100%.

I just downloaded the new firewater, the message says "It won't work nomatter how many times i would try."

For now i gave up, yeap.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] sean.trinidade:
FYI. You can also flash the faux locked hboot from here

I got my unbranded and sim-free and worked fine using the file transfer method, so I really do think it's down to the "batch" you got it via (got it on the evening of the release so would've been one of the initial UK batches)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] timsah:
It didn't do any difference. I simply copied ARHD.zip via crtl + c & ctrl + v, right after it said "preparing, one moment"
[One (M8) Original Android Development] beanbean50:
yep, got my unbranded and sim-free phone from phones4u (uxbridge) on the first saturday of release, they do say the early bird gets the worm (but then again, they also say the second mouse gets the cheese) :silly:
