Tried on Windows 8.1 and Macbook Pro. Just keeps Chugging away. (Aus Optus Cid) I'll be persistent though...

[One (M8) Original Android Development] c5satellite2:
If you are having problems try using a USB 2.0 port and disable your antivirus. Make sure you have updated adb and drivers, USB debugging enabled, and when you plug your phone into the pc make sure to allow the connection on the phone, it will prompt you.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] nobnut:
I must admit it, I was skeptical yesterday when I saw your post detailing how you got S-OFF. I thought it was just coincidence.

Like many, I tried for hours yesterday (7 hours in total) and resigned myself to just wait patiently for an update to Firewater.

I have an unlocked UK device which I had updated to 1.54 via the OTA. My CID is HTC__001.

I had tried 3 versions of Windows (Vista, 7 and 8.1) on 6 different machines, I forget how many USB ports I tried.

Anyway, I flashed Philz recovery, SkyDragon ROM, booted and turned off the lockscreen (USB debugging was already enabled).

The first time I tried Firewater, I got this:

Thank you for your suggestion :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] nintendolinky:
Skeptical :cool: I outlined everything I did to the best of my ability, I'm just glad i was able to help anyone in getting S-OFF, to be honest I think its just a trial and error thing, and just finding that "switch" that each phone needs to allow it to get S-OFF, I'm glad I can now do whatever I want with my phone.

Worked perfect on Sprint M8, thanks $$ coming your way.

Had to run it twice, first time said not catching a buzz to reboot and try again, if this Happens just rerun it and you'll be good.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] daorderdillon:
i dont think i need super cid cuz i have cid BS_US001 thats a dev edition but bootloader was locked cant get better than that huh
[One (M8) Original Android Development] user602:
Awesome work, beaups and fuses!

M8 Dev Edition running ViperOneM8 v1.0.0.

S-off achieved in less than a minute! :highfive:
[One (M8) Original Android Development] daorderdillon:
hey whats your software number and cid?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] djkinetic:
I wanted supercid so I can flash any RUU that gets released for the M8....RUU check your CID to make sure the RUU is made for that variant, SuperCID allows any m8 to pass this check.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] daorderdillon:
i know what supercid does and as i said i wont need it i get updates fast also with dev edition software
[One (M8) Original Android Development] kennonk:
I'm an HTC noob so sorry if this is a noob question but does this s-off mean the Cyanogenmod team and other AOSP roms will be able to support the M8 now?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dark2099:
S-Off means Security Off, which I know one of the advantages of is that you can flash firmware and RUU's that are not designed for you carrier. So if you have a AT&T phone, you could now flash the firmware from an international variant. Probably a few other things it will allow for, but not sure of what they are myself.

+1. Didn't get SU prompt on screen as well. I'm on HTC_J15 and ViperOneM8 1.1.0 btw

EDIT: Finally I'm S-OFF after a grueling 7 hours from yesterday and numerous chuggs!!! This M8 badboy really tests your patience. Anyhow, patience is a virtue, and I'm glad I got it working. Just keep trying guys with no lock screen and daydream off. Thank you firewater!!!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Stephen:
If there is an option in SU to automatically allow. Try that see if it helps. I have a 3 uk device and it went through with out any issues. Also dont for get you need a working data connection on the phone as well. I used wifi connection. In under 5 minutes I was s-off, super cid and tampered flag removed.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] telc:
Congrats. When it finally worked did you get the SU prompt screen?? i can't see any access to SU in the logs when trying to s-off

i havent managed it yet tried loads of times what rom and cid did you have i have h3g__001 and im using arhd 3.2
[One (M8) Original Android Development] nobnut:
I didn't get a SU prompt.

Go to your SU settings and select 'allow' instead of 'prompt' or 'deny'.

EDIT: I didn't need to select 'allow' to get S-OFF. Just posted for reference.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] SSS Desire:
Thanks man. I actually didn't get the SU prompt screen. Just like what Ghost said above, there's an option in SU to automatically allow.

Currently trying on my Telstra M8. First try went through all bottles with no luck.

But I'm not seeing any root prompt on SuperUser. Strange...I've now set it to always allow, but that won't make any difference if it's not requesting root anyway....

I just used the USB cable come with the M8 and I didn't change the USB port (still USB 2.0). Previously, I was using the USB cable from my M7. What I actually did are as follows:

1. Completely uninstalled HTC Sync Manager (and HTC drivers)

2. Disable antivirus

3. Reinstalled HTC Sync Manager (and HTC drivers) and let it sync with the M8, and again uninstalled HTC Sync Manager

4. Disable lock screen i.e. no lock screen

5. Disable daydream

6. Change SU access to "Grant" (instead of default "Prompt")

7. Wait until internet connection stabilizes (I know this through some surfing and the game HayDay :p)

8. Let adb recognizes M8 through "adb devices"

9. Did not use command "adb reboot" and straight to "adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp"

10. Write all the commands as per the instructions

11. Notified it was successfully S-OFF on the 8th bottle

12. Fastboot reboot-bootloader and dang it's stated S-OFF

I also changed to Super CID and removed the Tampered flag. I was on HTC__J15 (before changing to Super CID) with ViperOneM8 1.1.0.

Several failed attempts

kmsg attached
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
I think I know how to check kmesg to know which devices will work and which devices will not, but as when I was talking to Beaups they were quite cryptic I won't disclose, but -- if I am correct -- then your hardware has the same "difference" as mine which will prevent the current exploit from working.

-- in the same way that I can see who posted kmesg earlier after it worked, I knew they would work.

I can't confirm fully yet, that this assumption is correct, then you should not expect success at this time but you are not alone, I am stuck here too :)

So if you want me to make an educated guess for your device, reboot it twice and then post last_kmesg.

I will ask Beaups if I am correct, but I am afraid I likely cannot share why.

Yeah I know mate, I have been doing lots of chugging.

I think the Google edition makes it easier because it gets rid of that time after boot where you DC and then have to reconnect, you will ahve seen how often it just turns off.

I had plenty of times reaching 12 but will now wait as I should have been doing :D

Basically if people post this log I can tell them if its worth while attempting to update, I would also like to reassure people that HBOOT version, ROM version don't matter ultimately.

Yes, I believe this one should work.

Sadly not at this time.

yes this should work

Sadly not, if I am correct.

Again all, I could be wrong and certainly don't give up hope!

If I do think yours should work, please make srue your device has booted fully and says USB connected. Even on my device which I know won't work it does ocassionally turn off, fail, reboot but mostly it gets to 12 and gives up. This is an exploit and this is their nature to do things your phone isn't expected to do.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Stephen:
For those who it is not working. What version of recovery do you have? It may be nothing but it could be worth changing the recovery and see if it helps.

Might be barking up the wrong tree here completely but I just had the idea. I seem to remember something about the m7 requiring a certain type of recovery for it to work. I am on latest TWRP.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
If you haven't yet, try a Google ROM, its initial ADB connection is stable.

Once you flash it, disable any lockscreens, pins etc.

I also seen some change superuser to allow all, but as it never prompts anyway I don't think that will help

Might also help to leave the device idle and once you do start the exploit and the screen goes off, do not touch it.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Stephen:
Are you able to restore stock rom and root it?

Also install the latest HTC Sync software, then remove it but keep the drivers. That may help. I had done that quite recently.

Won't make a difference to this particular thread, but my personal recommendation is Philz.

All good mate, I did after many attempts.

Spent a couple of hours at work on it then under an hour at home before it worked.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] pablo11:
I mention it because people are mentioning that different recoveries effect S-Off - which is what I am about to attempt.....
[One (M8) Original Android Development] nobnut:
I'm pretty convinced that either the recovery and/or ROM does have an effect. I tried countless times yesterday with no luck on a stock rooted ROM and TWRP.

I changed to Philz and a GPE ROM this morning and it worked on first chug.

Too much of a coincidence for me to believe that there is no link (I also don't believe in coincidences).

EDIT: What I didn't do:

1. Mess with SU settings

2. adb reboot

3. Use the original cable

4. Disable antivirus

5. Disable Daydream
