I want to S-OFF my ATT HTC One, I have tried the Revone method , no luck, tried the Moonshine method and still no luck. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Has anyone posted an in depth step by step for a noobie that is not really a noobie? I have followed both the posts and the instructions there, but just can't get either to work, I am missing something. I S-OFF'd the HTC One X with no problems using that method in the HTC One X forum, but this one has got to me. The Moonshine method seems to hang up on step 3 and gives ............................. for as long as I let it go.
For some reason I can't figure out the Revone method either.
The Revone method isn't a guaranteed S-Off the first few times you try. Keep at it, I've seen people take a couple of hours to finally get it

Ok, been trying for a couple of days now, just can't seem to get it to go. Never had this much trouble with the HTC One X I had using the ADB commands.
You're talking about One XL s-off, right?
However, try, try and try!
You will unlock your phone.
If you need help, write me in pm

Yeh, I did everything to the HTC One X and got by with it. I never had much trouble with working the ADB commands and stuff with it, I unlocked, S-OFF'd. removed red screen, relocked, did everything. But this HTC One is giving me fits on most anything I try to do with it. I have achieved HTC dev unlock , relocked and run the RUU, now I can't seem to figure this S-OFF thing out with the Moonshine or the Revone method.
What's the error of revone?
If you want help in remote, write me a pm with teamviewer id and pass

Teamviewer is a software that grants remote access to your pc. To connect, one person has to have the Teamviewer ID and password of the other person to connect to it. Free too

I have a couple of questions, which hopefully someone or some peeps on here can provide some answers.
This whole S-Off thing, just to establish once and for all does your phone need to have the following done to it just for this one thing?:
Bootloader Unlocked
Rooted
Clockwork Recovery Installed
SuperUser Installed
CID Changed
If so this seems like a hell of a lot of effort, just for this one thing to be done.
The other thing I have noticed, is that even though there are some good nOObs guides on this forum, it maybe an idea at some point in the future for some YouTube videos.
Thanks.

You don't need any of those to s-off. You don't need a video, although there are probably some available - just read the guide carefully: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
Also, you need to ask yourself if you actually need s-off in the first place..

Hey guys,
A couple of days ago I recieved my One after I sent it for repairs.
They fixed my camera issue but changed my phone back to s-on. So now i'm left with a relocked phone with s-on.
I can't seem to re-unlock my phone by using htc's unlocking guide. After flashing the token it doesn't go into unlocking mode.
So i need some help with that. I'm on hboot 1.56 and 4.4 stock sense
Next problem:
I've been having this problem for a couple of days now. My phone charges unusually slowly. I always charge it overnight.
Last night it was 40% when i put it on the charger. About 8 hours later i woke up and it reached 95%. Already did a fresh install with no luck.
I'm thinking about sending it back and demand a new one but i need my phone for work. So if you guys know a way to fix it by using software that would be awesome.
Helping me out means beer ^^

They didn't "fix" your phone, they never simply fix ones phone. They send you a new "refurbished phone" which would be why the Token ID doesn't work for unlocking the bootloader. Go through the steps to get a new Token ID then unlock your phone.
As for the problem with the charger, perhaps that's the reason the phone got sent in to be fixed in the first place, that would be something you want to work out before going through all the work to unlock and s-off first.

Hmm maybe then they reflashed the device with stock every thing. I've never heard of them actually fixing it before! So if they did reflash it then they could be having the same issues.

if you can't unlock bootloader you can't do much else. pretty much everything else is dependant on it.
I think the error message you're getting when you try and unlock bootloader is because Verizon (through your device MID) does not allow it.

Look, on a locked bootloader, you cannot do anything what ur trying. Verizon phones cannot be unlocked using dev unlock. Only Rumrunner. Make sure that u have HTC Sync Manager installed on ur PC. Run rumrunner again. Rumrunner is the only bootloader unlock solution fr Verizon. Also, make sure USB debugging is enabled and fast boot in power settings is off

Correct me if I'm wrong but Rumrunner won't work for him either because he is on 4.4.2. That version can't achieve root which is required to s-off. And until s-off is achieved, you can't flash any ROMs...

Yep....
After hours of research I feel stupid because this can't be done at the moment. Anyone who is a Verizon subscriber is SOL after updating to 4.4. Can't be done. End of story. Untill then I'll patiently wait. Glad I have an AT&T S4 running CM11 which was done without using a PC so I'm happy about that. The phone I have with Verizon is through work and sense is garbage and battery life is abysmal with all that blotware. I really want CM11 on my HTC One :-/
Does firewater work?!?!?! Use firewater!!!! It works I'm pretty sure with the newest update!!! Link here!!! http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/ Use firewater and see if it works on 4.4.2 if it does then ??????????????

Firewater does not work either. Really hit a brick wall with this one. Its a shame because I was really looking to use CM11 with the HTC one with the nice display its got and everything
There's a way.... Me and my friend are getting closer to possibly downgrade bootloaders on moto but keep the operating system....... Sorry for that off topic, but there's always a way!!! Unless its Samsung lol, sorry for the off topic OP

When that happens please let us know. So wait you're running CM11 with sense? How does that work? Also are you able to use the remote app that runs on sense stock? I have used the smart IR remote app on my S4 running CM11 which works great with smart TV's but not so great with non smart TVs at least from my experience with it. that's the only thing I'm worried about losing when and if I'll ever be able to get CM11 on my HTC one

Okay lol, were getting all of our info for moto right now, reading boot sequences the way in which everything boots, the structure of the bootloader, where the qfuse is located and how we can possibly fry it. My question is. What actually unlocks the HTC bootloader. I know the unlock code.bin But what "actually" let's you unlock the phone? Questions to think thats where you get into the thought of how to hex or trick something such as rum runner/firewater does. Its unlocks and makes you s-off. I read somewhere that it just makes your phone think its s-off, could this be or not to be? I'm finding all these answers..... Were going to try something tomorrow, could possibly brick moto or allow us to unlock WISH ME LUCK!!! I have rooted romed a HTC one, can someone answer one question on the HTC one. When in FULL stock recovery or when someone goes into it, does it just do like my phone and set it back to when I go it (not factory reset) or does it allow options just like wipe cache factory reset and stuff like that? Please someone answer that for me
Also I know how to write the code and make exploits and everything, but how in gods name do you edit a .bin file and see what the ACTUAL ORIGINAL code was. I know its not just some computer person is going to sit down and write ¢=¥=€℅£{`¶¥°`°©=¥ ain't no way in hell nobody gonna read that, then there's the way to change that to hex which is like CB190 FD240 something like that idk, the thing is, there's over 50,000 lines of that, but that simplifies to binary. I can't get anything to change my hex to binary. Because im pretty sure you can change binary to text but i cant get anything to change hex to bainary properly. I can change binary to hex then whatever the foop that symbol crap is. But not do it backwards. It simpily wont work for me.sorry for that noob question, but i havr an idea and need to know. Sorry if my words are wrong I'm tired.
With the IR blaster I'm unsure. I didn't test it. With 4 ROMs I switch back and forth from my SD card. I can backup restore/install and be rebooted with a totally different ROM in 10 minutes like I got bored with sense 4 last night, now I'm on sense 5 woot.

So, my still rooted and S-On Sprint HTC M8 just received a notification that an update is available.
I AM going to eventually root and s-off this thing, but I am going to be going on a few trips soon so I figured it would be best to wait until after just in case something goes wrong so I won't be out of a phone while not at home.
Just wanted to know if anybody can confirm if the current firewater S-Off and/or Weaksauce temproot methods still work if you install these on an unmodified Sprint M8.

I think you're rolling the dice there. Even if you find one that can be S-Off'd with the new firmware on it that doesn't necessarily mean that the next person will get the same result as we have seen phones that are identical in software and firmware both fail and succeed at obtaining S-Off. In short, I think the it's always great to get a sampling of results but I do not believe we would be able to make any accurate conclusions, regarding S-Off anyway, from the data.
I suppose I am interested in knowing whether even a single M8 with the new firmware is able to S-Off with firewater but that's just the curiousity inside me.^^

Well, I'm about to give up on achieving S-Off. Being that I don't tinker with my device the way that I messed around with my previous device, I might be throwing in the towel. I'm possibly even giving up root. This is my first device that truly didn't need to be rooted.
But then again....there's free tethering....

Hmm well I'd done everything else except for that and it failed so locked it and it worked. Maybe it was just a fluke but either way only took a couple seconds to both lock and unlock again. =)
Edit: Yeah pretty sure you do have to lock it if you're stuck S-On like I am. S-Off most definitely doesn't need to though.

Pretty much....We've discounted "batches" being the case by virtue of serial number comparisons and, as far as I am aware, no one has been able to identify any kind of pattern to it.
You would think that the newer the phone the less likely you could s-off with it...and perhaps that is the case....but we've seen people as recent as this week go in and get one, take it home and firewater s-off with it while I've had mine for much longer and can't...maybe the ones people are getting were sitting around for a long time I guess...All pretty much educated (or not educated) guessing at this point.
So long story short I don't want HTC to have any info about what I'm doing with my phone because I've had a major issue with that in the past and I want to unlock it, root it and get s-off still. So with having a completely stock m8, sunshine is the way to go for me? Sorry if someone already posted something like this.
You can try Firewater first since it's free.
Am also sure you need to be rooted to s-off which means you need to unlock the bootloader using htcdev.

If Firewater had worked for me I would've been more than happy using HTC Dev with it. Just because you are requesting an unlock code from HTC does not prove that you actually used it so it's debatable whether using it or not has any real impact on their knowledge of your intended uses for your phone.

I personally had a horrible coincidence where my phone was not properly functioning from day 1 and I happened to have used htcdev so they had more than enough reason to blame me for the faulty components and charged me money to fix it since unlocking it voids the manufacturer warranty. So if you're fine with telling htc that you're unlocking your phone that's fine, I'm personally not going to do that again as long as I have an HTC device.

What state did you return the phone in? Was it still unlocked and rooted? S-Off? Did you attempt a faux-lock/s-on or anything like that?
To contrast some of the horror stories that people have regarding returning a HTC device for service, @Captain_Throwback has sent numerous devices to HTC and has never had an issue. His devices were rooted & S-off.
