Yeah, sure... we are part of that game :P
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
exactly but this may be alot sooner than on xda especially after beaups seems to have given up the ghost. haven't heard of many other s off specialists on xda :(
[One (M8) General] agarp:
Its funny I was looking at the link you posted and boom on the side bar they have listed Magma box as hot product which also says it can SOFF M8

Link http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/cable_picker/98075_Magma_Box.html
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
That's defo not going to s off whelp m8s at the moment. I had a reply on facebook from them saying they are awaiting the diag files for thier s off service for m8. Diag files WILL S off the device. Fonefunshop use thier own in house method - they do not seem to use any of the products they sell for the HTC s off service.
[One (M8) General] ILoveYouAll:
I've been off XDA from a while and am a little lost here. Wasn't there a S-Off method already? I been S-offed for months thats why Im asking. Did it get blocked or something?

Sent from my One Mate.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
some are s offable, including yours, others just get a error message
[One (M8) General] neilmcd:
I took my M7 over to them last year and they used a java card. They've got a video up of their method here
[One (M8) General] The Great Dane:
Wtf is s-off, can't remember, [emoji57]
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
hence proving they arent kanging other's work and that it's a reliable service. what was the turnaround time through the post? or did u take it into the store?:good:
[One (M8) General] globalm:
FYI - emailed them today asking if Magma Box really did the business and did it mean they would be offering 'post in' S-Off shortly. Got this reply.

"Once we have tested then it will be on the website."
[One (M8) General] dkotoric:
Anyone know if this works on the latest update on t-mobile. I just got a HTC M8 that had the update installed. When I try to get s-off it just keeps opening bottles and chugging 12 times and then says reboot and try again.

My HBOOT is : 3.16.0.0000

Once the diag files are out in the open, wouldn't someone be able to reverse engineer a method from them? I don't really know, just spit ballin here.

[One (M8) General] grentuu:
There are a number of devices that cannot be s-offed. If you try firewater will give you the 'whelp' message telling you it cannot be done.

[One (M8) General] jcase:
Diag files require a whitecard/java card or an emulator for them. They do not work out of the box. No need to re-reverse them, they have been reversed long ago and are well understood.

They are useless without stolen/pirated/hacked hardware. Something like XTC clip or a javacard.

As it got anything to do with the model type on the back of the phone ? as anyone s-off'd an 0P6B100 ? ....I suspect the successful ones are 0P6B130 ?
[One (M8) General] Onem8:
mine is 0P6B10000..
[One (M8) General] boe323:
so theres 3 types ? thought it was a reference to gsm and true 4g models ? ....so I guess its a reference to gsm ...lte ...4g ...dev edition etc ???
[One (M8) General] Onem8:
It has nothing to do with mid/cid, types...
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
I have a 0P6B100 and I managed to get S-OFF
[One (M8) General] boe323:
Its crazy how random it is ...doesn't make any sense.
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Agreed...Has anyone actually investigated it a bit more though? Is it specific models? Models made at specific times where an exploit might have existed either before or after a certain manufacturing date? Combination of the two?

It's weird though, I agree.

I struggled a bit to get S-OFF though, had to push it 4times and do the chmod etc before firewater even launched for the first time. When it launched the first time it didn't do anything, gave me an error saying the device needed network connection, even though it had one. Afterwards I had to push it again a 5th time as it didn't want to launch firewater again. Eventually it launched and I got whelped 6times before I finally got S-OFF, rebooted into bootloader to confirm and got my tampered banner removed finally.

Seems a bit buggy, maybe it WILL work for everyone if they actually want to sit for hours on end and keep trying until they get lucky? I don't know...strange all around. :eek:
[One (M8) General] The Great Dane:
Maybe its not that randomly after all, try to do this command.

If your device starts with 90 I'm pretty sure you Can't get s-off atm

adb shell cat /sys/devices/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/cid
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Maybe, mine starts with 150.
[One (M8) General] The Great Dane:
And then your on that variant which actually works on firewater, 90xxxx variant doesn't have that exploit.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
U should be able to s off
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Yeah I got S-OFF yesterday but after a HUGE struggle, like mentioned in my post on previous page. :good:
[One (M8) General] The Great Dane:
So there you got the not so technically explanation why you can and we can't, happy on your behalf.......nice to get rid of the tampered flag and red text. [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]
[One (M8) General] boe323:
Why have all the reviews got usb2.0 ? when I connect my device it says it can perform faster...connect it to a superspeed usb 3.0 port ? would connecting it to certain usb ports make a difference?

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

mine starts with 150 also
[One (M8) General] The Great Dane:
Still what I'm aware off there is no working exploid for the 90 variant so doesn't make any difference what you are trying to do you will still end up with the "whelp" message and there for still s-on

---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

If you are a 15 variant then you should be able to get s-off

Leedroid will soon return ?
[One (M8) General] boe323:
hhhmmm ....maybe I should try to s-off ? mine starts with 150 ? maybe I gave up to soon? I have a pooh load of stuff on my phone though and its relocked.
[One (M8) General] Onem8:
maybe you can try this.. worked for a lot of people. But you can brick your device..

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.

normal first bottle S-OFF
[One (M8) General] boe323:
Think ill pass lol ...not that brave
[One (M8) General] beaups:
Too much FUD being spread, not sure why you think it has anything to do with 90... Etc.
[One (M8) General] The Great Dane:
I said what I'm aware of and I haven't heard of any with 90 that actually got s-off but feel free to enlighten me[emoji106]
[One (M8) General] GraveDigger176:
nobody and i mean nobody (me include) who have a m8 variant with this >>>> 90014a beginning number can do s-off regardless of whether in german m8 forum or here in xda thats fact :(
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
if we have the 90014a or so variant we won't be able to get to the preparing...even with the older one which let us go to that point it doesn't worked...now with the newer we are getting whelp -.-
[One (M8) General] Onem8:
if firewater says it isn't compatible. It isn't :)
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
yep that's what i wrote now...but i think it can be fixed if beaups or so would have that variant.... i also think it's not that much what needs to be done to fix that annyoing sh1t -.- :D :D
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
One of these variants was offered but sadly not taken up
[One (M8) General] beaups:
What makes you think these things?
[One (M8) General] The Great Dane:
Damn your behaving childish, grow up be a man and answer the questions.
[One (M8) General] GraveDigger176:
simply because you apparently have no m8 in this variant, because if you had one, it would already s-off (that's my opinion) :good:
[One (M8) General] Souldrinker:
Yup, I just checked my whelped Swedish M8 and it turned out I also had a 90014a... :(
[One (M8) General] beaups:
Who says I don't have one? And that it's not already soff? ;)
[One (M8) General] beaups:
What questions? If the question is why some devices can't work, it's the same answer I've given you in at least one other thread: yes there's a reason, yes we know what it is, and no we will not share that. Our exploits are obfuscated and our methods kept private for the good of the users. Giving clues why it can't work on some devices would serve no purpose other than to help htc reverse and patch the exploit.

There's no point in name calling. Also an adult should write "you're behaving childish". Not "your". /pet_peeve
[One (M8) General] Root-Maniac:
Who in the world do you think brought s-off to all of is?? Now you have the balls to talk to him like that?!?! Please note people like you talking to our devs like that is more then enough reason for the dev to say screw you. It would not be the first time either. Specially towards [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] You should be ashamed of yourself for speaking to him in such a rude manner.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
so are the 90 whelp variants as f#cked as the HOX for s off hope?

or is something currently being worked on.

so and why do you not help the people in the irc chat i joined 3 times and all what i become were stupid comments like is gravedigger the monster truck and is this a reference, that's not what I understand with help.................but anyway if you have a variant 90 m8 then'll be happy with it but then offer no help as it stand in your m8 thread before you or any other change the text :good:
[One (M8) General] beaups:
We help people on irc all the time. For the Whelp message there is no help to be provided, just like the message states.

That would be really foolish because at least half of you people are not going to pay up your donation pledges. History proves that.

To be clear I don't mean to single out you or any user in particular. I'm just stating what's been shown in the past. It's easy to pledge a lot harder to pay up.

Also do any of you really think $1500 comes anywhere close to paying off the amount of time and effort it takes for these dev to actually find and execute an exploit for the masses?

...it's doesn't!

It takes an immense amount of time and effort, then coding it into a useful software package for the masses takes even more time.

The number of developers even offering s off exploits FOR ANY HTC DEVICE can be counted on one hand.
[One (M8) General] oRAirwolf:

[One (M8) General] mikeyinid:
If you got your phone on jump it doesnt void your warranty.
[One (M8) General] globalm:
If you purchased your phone in the EU, your warranty is uneffected by S-off or rooting. EU consumer regulations do not allow the manufacturer to decline warranty under these circumstances.
[One (M8) General] Lupus77:
Unlocking does not automatically void your warranty. At least in Germany. Also HTC isn't so strict about this. The HTC One X from a workmate did get repaired and fully refurbished after 20 months even though he was unlocked. The owner of the repair shop said that HTC ususally repairs unlocked devices as long as there is no foul play (overclocking and stuff) involved.
[One (M8) General] tHoMaS-1:
