Hmm, can't tell either way from this one, can you do a few more reboots - normal ones, not while running firewater

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

You can now also download firewater again from the official site and I think the version there will now tell you if you won't be able to do it :)

If you don't see a warning like the attached --- Carry on ;)

No need for more logs :D
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Toxicology:
Humm....Just wanted to point to something - dunno, if its correct on the firewater-site:

But the method with weaksauce seems to have another "running-order" belonging to the command:

In the "normal" instructions it says:

adb reboot <–important!!!!

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

adb shell

su

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater

/data/local/tmp/firewater

In the weaksauce Instruction it says:

adb reboot <--important!!!!

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

adb shell

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater

su

/data/local/tmp/firewater

Doesn't "SU" command have to be on the same position in weaksauce than it's in the normal instructions?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Nah, if you are able to write the file you will be able to chmod, alot of custom roms automatically send you in elevated anyway ie (you have # instead of $ I think)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] heslo.rb26:
Well I re-downloaded it. No error message on my end but still no S-OFF. Very very frustrating :(
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Well no error then you still have a chance, many different suggestions in this thread about things to try.

GTA not working after s-off

Hiya all.

I am trying to establish a pattern here.

I've noticed that both GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City have stopped working for me and I couldn't figure out why.

I posted this in a separate thread in the q&a section, with one person replying saying that after he s-offed his M8, it stopped working too.

Just to rule out anything else, could you please check if you have GTA Vice City or San Andreas running on your device whether after s-off it's still working?

It tends to stop after the load screen when starting a game, at about 75-90% of the load bar, just exits, no message no nothing.

If this is due to s-off, anyone have any ideas on how we can fix this?

Many thanks all...
[One (M8) Original Android Development] MaximN97:
same here, no warning^^ :D:D:D
[One (M8) Original Android Development] clarkson63:
Well that's it, no s-off for me just yet. ?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] FitzysN6:
Bugga, no go for me.

Will just have to wait and hope.

Thanks Electronic Punk for all the follow-ups, I can now stop trying..

Cheers mate.

I am getting this
[One (M8) Original Android Development] heslo.rb26:
Many of us are getting the same results. Just keep trying seems to be the general consensus. There's a few tips to try in this thread that may help you but in a lot of cases, it just seems like pot luck.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] ahellary:
yup i have the sucks message too :( thanks electronic punk for looking at my logs i will live in hope the brainy people can sort it

if i can help by allowing the dev to acceas my device connected to my pc via team viewer then please let me know always happy to help
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Adamnation:
Downloaded the new version of Firewater.

Was kind of hoping I'd get the "sucks" message as it would at least end my misery.

Now I will only keep on trying.

So annoying as my device keeps rebooting :(
[One (M8) Original Android Development] heslo.rb26:
That's what I'm getting on my end too. Not sure why :/
[One (M8) Original Android Development] zebidybob:
I got the sucks message but it seems strange to me that one other person with a 3 UK phone managed S-Off have they really changed hardware that quickly?

P.s thanks for all the hard work.

Just have to wait for a good news...
[One (M8) Original Android Development] vj4:
Seems to be the case. Kinda hoping we have a variant with stuff we are not supposed to have in our region hence the extra security................... If this is the case im happy to wait. A 2.5ghz with all the radios would be worth waiting to have s-off for.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:

[One (M8) Original Android Development] Onem8:
It's not mine.. stil trying :( what did i wrong to the world lol :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Thats good stuff, so basically don't be afraid if you have upgraded via OTA to the latest release, as this won't stop you S-Offing, what will stop you is the warning when you run the exploit - if you see that you have to wait.

Otherwise, as we have seen the process can be quick, or it might not be just keep trying.

For some reason its missing after the ota, but if you flash firmware.zip again afterwards it appears. No issues due to it not being there originally toh.

That's what I thought! Not too worried about it. Will sort out at some stage.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Brds7t7:
You don't really need to return it to S-On to return the phone to HTC.

Just restore stock rom, recovery and relock the bootloader (you may need to remove the tampered flag too) and it should be fine.

Awesome. I too choose to return things to their exact state before returning them. Then again, I've also never lied about a bricked device, claiming it was an OTA or gremlin that caused a brick.

At any rate, I say good on you for being responsible & taking the same time & effort you'd expect of someone returning something to you. ;)

Removing the "Tampered" flag is as simple as a single fastboot command. There are instructions on doing that in the forum here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708565

[how to] remove your "tampered" banner

Edit:

Also,

Setting your phone to S-On isn't quite safe. You have to be sure that everything ( all partitions ) is unmodified first. Best if a RUU is used first. But indeed no need to have this done. They'll never make a remark about it and will also leave it S-Off as they can't prove you've done it as some phones are shipped S-Off
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Scramjet:
Interesting. I got to bottle 10 thrice, no dice (rhyming not intended). I updated to firmware 1.54.707.5, which also has a 22 March timestamp (I have the HTC_Asia_WWE version, clocked at 2.5 GHz as I live in Singapore). I really want to S-OFF and mainly get rid of the TAMPERED warning. Then I'll install ViperOneM8. In the meantime, devs, please help us fix this!

The one I posted is for the M8. It works 100%, as I have done it on every HTC de vice I've owned, including the AT&T HTC One M8 version just yesterday.

*It just mentions the M7 because of copy/paste. Many devices are same, some partition & seek are different. That is correct for the M8.

My m8 is telstra and tried 5 times but finally got s-off. :D

1. Disable antivirus

2. Uninstalled HTC Sync Manager and have HTC Driver working

3. Disable lock screen i.e. no lock screen

4. Disable daydream

5.In Developer Options, make sure screen is set to be "always on" so you don't have to worry about what the phone is doing and going to sleep during the process.

6. Change your screen timeout to 1 hour.

7. Download and install Root Checker from Google Play, Verify Root, Allow it with superuser then it say Congratulations! This device had root access!

8. Follow the firewater s-off instructions

I unlocked the Bootloader using HTC Dev, and used the toolkit from above thread to root the phone. I verified it using root checker. I gotta get ready for work, so will try to S-OFF when I get home in the AM.
