When running adb shell cat "/sys/devices/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/cid" my number comes back as 450xxxxxxxxxxxxx.

I should be ok for s-off correct?
[One (M8) General] tHoMaS-1:
I know that flashing custom roms is great :). I did it for many years with my Desire HD. But since I got my first One M7 (HTC CID) over a year ago there was simply perfection and fluent updates out of the box for me ;).

So there where no need to flash custom roms for me. Until now...

hehehe fair play. well hopefully something turns up soon :)
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
If my phone will never be S-OFF this is what I am considering :P
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
had that been a sammy phone it would have shattered into milliosn of pieces lol
[One (M8) General] The Great Dane:
M8 will only melt down and gettin hot like foooooook[emoji41]
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
hahaha very true
[One (M8) General] GraveDigger176:
yap you should be able to get s-off :good:
[One (M8) General] dorsetqpr:
pledge

I will donate £20 here in uk. I have an M7, 1.56 vodafone running kitkat and i get the whelp message too. :(
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
M7?? no wonder dude, this is for M8 :)

try rumrunner HERE
[One (M8) General] v1rk:
You mean m8?, Because I brought an vodafone locked m8 instore for someone and it managed to s-off after some time
[One (M8) General] dorsetqpr:
How? may i ask?

Mine is definately m7 and firewater just gives me the whelp error, rumrunner didn't work either. From what i've read it seems to be a hardware issue with anybody on HTC-001 cid
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
You are in the wrong forum mate and rumrunner defo worked on my HTC oo1 m7 last year

Just to avoid doubt:

HTC M7

HTC M8

Iphone

ya get me???;)
[One (M8) General] mikeyinid:
Yea, got s-off. I bought an M8 on Tuesday not knowing there was a slim chance I wouldnt be able to get s-off. Turns out my first one was a dud. My buddy works at the store so I went in and exchanged it, being 100% honest about the reason. His manager came over and I explained it to him and he was completely ok with it. So, I now have an s-off M8 :good::laugh:
[One (M8) General] dorsetqpr:
Yes i know it's the m8 forum, but people in the m7 forum have had the same trouble as me, that's why on a whim i thought i'd try here as i saw your petition. If they can get firewater to work with mine, then i'm willing still to donate. Thanks anyway
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
Right, cool :good::good: hopefully something will work for u buddy! :good:
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
You can flash it with s-on too...you just need to use a music Player like n7player or project era sound mod 16.1 by zeroinfinity ...then sound and also the enhancer should work fine :)

Gesendet von meinem HTC One_M8 mit Tapatalk
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
BINGO!!!!!!! I knew thats why it was working ok on SD 1.3 when I flashed it with project era!!!! and would not work on anything else!!!:good::highfive:
[One (M8) General] v1rk:
No whelps using the latest version of firewater, All my other devices apart from two s-off before this phone
[One (M8) General] kfasheldon:
Odd thing sd1.3 plus HK mod worked fine with either of the sound mods supplied plus HK mod v3 .. With all players .. Most other ROMs have problems even with sounds mods applied plus the HK if s.on and don't think anyone has tried to see why. Holyangel must have got something spot on on sd1.3

Back to topic .. I hope someone is looking into s off for us all or a another way to flash firmware updates not just kernal and ROMs.

Without any ruu files about cant go back to stock to get any ota update to firmware, radio etc let alone HK DSP update.
[One (M8) General] boe323:
I see theres a new update out today ...will it affect firewater ? The phones that can get s-off now ...can they still use firewater after ota ?
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
He certainly did, hk won't work on any other Rom for me at the moment. I like stock player too much
[One (M8) General] Freak07:
I played a little bit with the hk mod. I'm also not able to get s off and had initially no sound. However I flashed zeros soundmod, afterwards the hk zip for s on users. N7 player and mp3 playback were working fine. However shuttle was not working and this is my main player. So out of desperation I installed v4a.

And guess what. I played a mp3 with shuttle, activated in the very first checkbox v4a processing and playback was suddenly working. You can deactivate v4a afterwards it will still function. The same goes for stock music player.

Try it out! :) if it works for you I'll open a thread.
[One (M8) General] alex55666:
hello

will he an updated firewater for all htc one m8?

or it is wrong part?

thank you

[One (M8) General] phatmanxxl:
Don't ask for ETA's, you will know when S-off is available.
[One (M8) General] alex55666:
i know how ?
[One (M8) General] sjeffrey:
Try firewater now. If it works donate to the devs for their work. If it does not work, pledge some money to encourage someone to make a universal s-off for the m8
[One (M8) General] cmvienneau:
Does the bootloader not unlock on the m8?
[One (M8) General] Genesis Nova:
The bootloader unlocks but there's no sure-fire way to s-off all models of the M8 at the moment.
[One (M8) General] cmvienneau:
What is the need for s-off then? Write protection and selinux can be disabled in the kernel. Actually.lol once you do that s-off shouldn't be hard to accomplish if you really need it.
[One (M8) General] Genesis Nova:
s-off is needed to flash firmware, write to boot through recovery (which you can't do through the 'normal' way you use recovery) and a few other features.
[One (M8) General] beaups:
Shouldn't be hard? Do share please.
[One (M8) General] cmvienneau:
Well once write protection is removed. You should be able to echo a command to write change the digit in partition 7. I'm kind of a noob so don't take offense.lol just throwing some ideas around.
[One (M8) General] beaups:
Kernel wp is nothing more than a nuisance. The real stuff is put in place by sbl. Also, kernel wp doesn't even protect those regions,only system partition. So, for soff, there's nothing to be gained from bypassing kernel wp.
[One (M8) General] cmvienneau:
It's either cat /dev/block/mmcblk0 or the blkid command that will list like 60 different partitions. It looks as though they implemented like LVM or something?
[One (M8) General] beaups:
Nothing like that.
[One (M8) General] cmvienneau:
Are you able to get into qdm mode and use qxdm? I assume the cdma models you would be able to.
[One (M8) General] beaups:
Sure. Not useful for s-off. We are also off topic here.
[One (M8) General] cmvienneau:
Oh sorry.haha
[One (M8) General] phatmanxxl:
When the thread is updated and its time to pay up.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
If or when its here u guys will know, this will likely be the nosiest thread on xda. Fingers crossed it's soon really badly want s off!
[One (M8) General] jeryx:
I hope so... I'm waiting patiently but I hope beaups will surprise us... Because i think it's a great challenge for a dev! We'll see...

Cheers in advance!
[One (M8) General] The Great Dane:
I've got used to live with s-on[emoji41] just keep reminding myself of the (not) glory HTC one X days.

[One (M8) General] boe323:
Whats the repair charge for screen replacement ....UK doesn't have extended warranty, and being as though its being sent back I will try to s-off it again ...my number started 150 so I may be able to do it with patience.
[One (M8) General] alex55666:
no news of firewater for htc one m8?

:(
[One (M8) General] syaoran68:
lol if your really that desperate to flash the radio just go back to stock. OTA then re-unlock and the whole shebang.
[One (M8) General] billydroid:
I don't want to get false hopes up. But jcase tweeted, in a cryptic way, "it's coming".

So?
[One (M8) General] Puff1911:

You can still flash ROMs with S-on, I'm running the nV ROM with S-on.

[One (M8) General] Felkoryov:
Hey everyone. First post for me here, but I've been following this topic for a while.

Just a quick question: we do NEED S-Off to be able to get full access to the SD card, right (I also have the "whelp" message)?

I am quite a noob with all these things, and tend to get a little confused ... :o
[One (M8) General] Onem8:
just unlock bootloader from htcdev.com. Install custom rom and you have full acces to sdcard. ;)
[One (M8) General] animaleyes76:
Could you please remove me from the donation list?

I got a replacement phone from O2UK (O2__001) and managed to get S-OFF with [MENTION=711482]beaups'[/MENTION] wonderful work. There's a donation on the way (Transaction ID # 2WV05359VK8285259) for the amount i promised.

Hope S-OFF comes soon for the rest of you. :)
[One (M8) General] Felkoryov:
Oh thank you!! I had already unlocked the bootloader but hadn't flashed any rom ... I flashed the viper 1.6 and have regained full access to my SD card! I can finally use my phone normally, and download my music and movies directly to my SD card. :victory:

I don't know why I was so sure I needed to get S-off to be able to do this..
[One (M8) General] mikeyinid:

[One (M8) General] ianford10:
Off topic I know but I have been in touch with someone and can get a Java Card with 10,000 credits but the price is very expensive $1,500 :(
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
In terms of costs it would be something like 6.7$ per device. But shipping and handling is an issue here.
[One (M8) General] ianford10:
Shipping outside the EU is a bigger problem, if people declare full value then import tax will take place. For returning phones I was recently informed by Royal Mail that some EU countries will not accept a mobile phone even if battery is in the device.

Makes it difficult to offer a service :(
[One (M8) General] oRAirwolf:
I wish I could find somebody to do this locally. I am not willing to ship my phone out. I kind of need it, ya know?
[One (M8) General] ianford10:
This is the thing, people need their devices which is why I'm reluctant to shell out the cash as I don't think I could make my money back, especially if I only offer the service within the UK.
[One (M8) General] metaphz:
Curious, I have S-OFF, and don't understand why some devices can't? Girlfriend and I both got M8 out of the same shipping box, however she took an OTA, I did not and S-OFF'd. Will her device be vulnerable, or did the OTA update fix the "exploit"?
[One (M8) General] mikeyinid:
afaik there isnt an ota that patches it. yet. either your device will ot will not go s-off. my first one wouldnt, exchanged it and the new one did. its luck of the draw
[One (M8) General] metaphz:
That is even more confusing. Same HW same software even OTA update doesn't patch the exploit. What is the actual difference between the two devices that allow exploit or not? I guess I'm grateful mine is capable but I'm new to HTC and have an insatiable thirst for knowledge.
[One (M8) General] mikeyinid:
the only people that know the difference are [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] and htc. there does seem to be a correlation between the serial numbers as to which will and wont s-off. devices with 90 at the beginning havent had luck with firewater.

Firewater

Hi [MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION],

today I downloaded firewater and it looks like that they have a new build uploaded (diffrent MD5 to older version). I have testet the new one and now I receive "The first bottle is open; Chugging........." and after a few seconds the whelp message! :(

Can someone check this version and share the result too.
[One (M8) General] sirioo:
same here..
[One (M8) General] snake4fun:
Then we can hope that there will still change something
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
Mine too.... The version says "firewater S-OFF 8.0.6.1"
[One (M8) General] snake4fun:
How do you get the version of firewater?
[One (M8) General] ionut.micu:
I tried the new version on my M7, on the old one I got the "whelp" message instantly, on the new version I have:

!!If firewater hangs for more than 2 minutes or device enters qhusb mode, ho

!!If firewater hangs for more than 2 minutes or device enters qhusb mode, ho

!!If firewater hangs for more than 2 minutes or device enters qhusb mode, ho
ld power for 60 seconds !!

The first bottle is open
chugging..........

********** whelp, this sucks, firewater can not work on your device **********
********** no amount of reflashing, retrying, or ruuing will fix... **********
********** DO NOT COME TO IRC ASKING FOR UPDATES OR ETAS!!!!!! **********
********** if we are able to fix this issue, it will be announced **********

Download it from the official website. And when you run it, it will show the version.
[One (M8) General] BWA80:
Hi!

You guys try chugging it with a file transfer in the background?
[One (M8) General] snake4fun:
Yes
[One (M8) General] BWA80:
No success?
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
I guess it is just updated for some other reason, not to fix the whelp message. If the whelp problem was fixed, I guess the developers should have posted already. At least its a good sign, since this means that they are working on it.
[One (M8) General] The Great Dane:
