WeakSauce and Firewater have been patched on the latest HTC builds, the current solution is SunShine http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2792487

WeakSauce is an exploit for some HTC devices. It will not work on all HTC devices, if it crashes or doesn't make su available, then it isn't compatible at this time, and I have no interest in adding compatibilitiy. At the time of release, I confirmed that it was compatible with the HTC One m7 & m7 on Verizon. Those are the only two officially supported devices. Yes it will work on other phones, and is worth a try. It will also crash on many, and some it will appear to work and won't. I am not fixing this at this time.

Since this app is just so easy to use, and I am tired of off topic posts, I am closing the thread. If you can not figure out how to use it, ask elsewhere.

This app may not be redistributed, integrated in a toolkit or script, or sold in any way.

It gains root, mounts a new xbin containing busybox, and su. While it is designed for the Verizon HTC One m7 and m8, it will work on other HTC devices as well. It is a crapshoot depending on both model, and sometimes on firmware version. This exploit will re-root your device each boot. You only have write access to /system/xbin with this exploit.

Donations for this project can be sent to -> HTCWeakSauce@gmail.com

Credits:

vuln - jcase

exploit - jcase & beaups

icon - mattlgroff

Dr_Drache - lots of testing

Installation:

Install the WeakSauce app, run it hit agree.

Then install SuperSu from the market https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu

On boot (well about 30 seconds after full boot), WeakSauce will re-root your device.

Unroot:

Uninstall app, uninstall SuperSu do a hard reboot (adb reboot)

Update:

Uninstall app, Uninstall SuperSu, do a hard reboot (adb reboot), reinstall app, re-root, reinstall SuperSu app.

Trouble shooting:

Uninstall WeakSauce

Uninstall SuperSu app

do a hard reboot (adb reboot)

reinstall WeakSauce

re run WeakSauce

reinstall SuperSu app

then ask for help on XDA (This means don't email me for help on this topic).

ChangeLog

1.0.1

Fixed supersu updating

Updated supersu su binary

Fixed replacing xbin at boot

Added more compatibility for older models

S-Off:

Gain root with weaksauce

use firewater (http://firewater-soff.com/)

uninstall weaksauce

flash custom recovery

flash supersu or superuser

This app may not be redistributed, integerated in a toolkil or script, or sold in any way.

It always shows the check result with the WARNING message. Can you show me what does it say exactly?

Can you post the screenshot?

Sorry if it tells you an incorrect result.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] vazovskiiii:
Yes of course here is the screenshot
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] vndnguyen:
According to the screenshot, your phone has 2 warning messages:

- The firmware has been modified (It does not have CSC Version info): It may be due to installing of MIUI rom.

- Refurbished phone (Manufacturing Date does not match with the Serial Number): This warning is related to the phone's hardware. On the original phone, the manufacturing date should match with the date resulting from the decoding of the Serial Number. Did you send your phone to the Samsung service for repairing? If yes, so they might change your phone's mainboard with the another one.

If this reply does not answer your issue, please PM me more details: all screenshots from the app Phone INFO, or at least the Manufacturing date (in the GENERAL INFO section) and the Samsung Serial Number (in the DEVICE ID section).

Thanks.

Guys i own a note.. so this is what i get... so is my device a refurbished unit?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] vndnguyen:
Nope, it only says the firmware has been modified, I think it is due to installing of custom rom.

Is this screenshot from Note or S4? I asked because this is S4 thread.

If it is Note, why there is not 'S Pen Detach' counter?

In the Note 3 device, there should be 3 counters: Headset connect, Charger connect and S Pen Detach, as shown in the attached image.

hello im looking to buy a new galaxy s5, testing with this app it says the phone is original, but the charger connector counter reads more than 200times. is that normal? does samsung check their ports so many times before marketing them? any one with similar experience here? thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] gyrex:
Hi,

Firstly, I love your app - thanks very much for developing it! I've used it a few times to reset CSC and check phone info and it's been invaluable! Anyway, I started a thread here but I'll paraphrase so that other's can see the context of my enquiry: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/help...ay-samsung-t2971804/post57482685#post57482685

I'm wondering if you can help me determine an interesting issue I've uncovered on my new Samsung Galaxy S5 (I'll refrain from including a product code since I'm unable to determine this!)

Strange one here.... The box and stickers on the back of my new Galaxy S5 say it's an SM-G900I but Samsung Phone Info says it's an SM-G900F... Also, the Google Play store says it's a 900F as well... I'd much prefer to have a 900I because it includes support for the LTE 700MHz band which is being rolled out in Australia. The other reason I'm posting is because I had some issues flashing a stock ROM on my phone. The flash process failed at the hidden partition with a size full error. So.... I'm a little sceptical....

Any ideas on how I'd confirm 100% that my phone is indeed either a 900F or a 900I?

Screenshot of Samsung Phone Info:

A refurbishment check says it's ORIGINAL but it's not making sense because it's saying that I've plugged headphones in 3 times and I've never put headphones near this phone... Only got the phone yesterday!!!

Something's fishy... It's not a fake but I definitely don't think it's brand spanking new and is probably refurbished... Does replacing the motherboard reset the refurbished flag?

How does your app get information about "Phone Model", "Headphone connect counter" and how do you perform a refurbishment test? I'm planning on returning this phone and this information would be invaluable in proving that they're selling dodgy/refurbed phones...

Thanks very much!!

Hi,

Do you have any tuto regarding modifying the CSC ?

I'm using FTM operator but I can't find it in the list. Currently, it's set on GB and I'm in France. The reception quality is not as it used to be with the new Omega v39 ROM and Modem I had to flash it with.

I tried setting XEF but the radio component of the ROM was crashing every 2 seconds after it did the factory reset.

Thanks in advance
