S-off problem - HTC Butterfly S

Hi guys......
I have Butterfly s 901e with HBOOT 1.57, when I tried to s-off with firewater, I didn't get anything while in the process..... when I made the last step ([email protected]:/ # chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater then [email protected]:/ # /data/local/tmp/firewater), I got nothing.... I tried to check data/local/tmp manually in ES File Explorer to see what is going on, I noticed that after pushing firewater through adb it will appear in the TMP folder and after executing [email protected]:/ # chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater then [email protected]:/ # /data/local/tmp/firewater the firewater file just disappear from TMP folder, and nothing is starting....
please help.

1 Yes this is normal until you change it.
2 For me, s-off then you can always relock the bootloader without htc knowing you have ever unlocked it for warranty purposes.
3 Both do the same thing so personal preference. I used revone which was very easy but cannot comment on revolutionary as I have not tried it.

If we relocked the bootloader, it will show 'relocked' instead of 'locked' right?

That is only if you do it with the instructions on HTCDEV. With S-OFf you can relock and it will show LOCKED.

There is an ADB command to change it to 'locked' instead of 'relocked'. It's mentioned in revone's thread:

I used revone to S-OFF and it was quite easy.
Code:

1. I saw other devices pictures which showed CID in bootloader mode, and also my previous HTC OneX had such information available.
2. I'be read somewhere users having issues with S-Off with HTC one. Previously I had Inc S and I S-Off it using revolutionary.
Thanks.

You have to close sync manager (best is to uninstall except the drivers).

There is a problem with your drivers somehow, go to device manager in windows and delete the phone from the list. Reboot the pc and try again.

"adb push" command is not shell command!
you need type: adb push revone /data/local/tmp/ before you entered into shell by "adb shell".
1) adb push revone /data/local/tmp/
2) adb shell
3) and so on..

"C:\fastboot>cd /data/local/tmp" What is it??? You need here to specify a way to yours adb.exe file.
if youer adb.exe in c:\fastboot folder you need

3) [email protected]:/ $ chmod 755 revone

please help.

[GUIDE] Obtaining S-OFF on Sprint HTC One HBOOT 1.57

I had some trouble getting S-OFF using HBOOT 1.57, and I finally got it. Here is what I did in hopes someone may find it useful:
Before you Begin:
If you get stuck at the white HTC Logo when booting or you get "Process com.htc.dialer isn't responding" at any point in this guide, or even before it, you are likely missing your Radio. (I don't know exactly how this happens, but it apparently does sometimes.) I had this problem once, and flashing the latest radio from here in recovery fixed it.
Steps:
Flash this ROM. (Other ROMs may work, but this one gave me no trouble at all)
Flash this Kernel. <-- Important! Firewater will fail if you don't do this!
Follow the Firewater Instructions to obtain S-OFF. It should work the very first time. (Use the "normal, rooted device method" set of instructions.)
You should now be S-OFF! After this, you can proceed to flash your favorite ROMs Kernels, and HBOOTs. If you would like to downgrade to HBOOT 1.44 (I did), you can find the files here.
Please post if this works for you or if you need help. Thanks to all the developers who made this possible!
Thank you very so much

Hi, what specific ROM and Kernel version did you use to get Firewater to work? I have flashed rom Bad_Boyz_Sprint_ONE_Sense_6_v1.0 and Kernel ElementalX-sprint-m7-13.1 but USB debugging is not working and Firewater is not working properly, I am guessing its a kernel issue. I leave everything on default while installing Kernel thru TWRP. Can you confirm? I appreciate the help

Yes, I did fastboot devices and I got the device listed there. Although I could see that in the phone it does not appear the 4 bars of USB debugging. I had it checked in the Dev Options. When I do the same with the stock 4.4.2 I do get those 4 bars and the indication that the USB debugging is active.

Yes it gets recognized. But when I turn on the phone and try to run the firewater commands it does nothing. No error nor the prompt of the disclaimer. I thought I better asked you and see if you have any idea of what could be wrong.

Hi. I meant adb devices. And I was wondering how do I check the file permissions. Can I try to copy firewater with a root file manager ? Thank you
This is what I get in adb

After this, there is no action from firewater. I should get a warning prompt, but I don't.

Are you doing adb reboot before doing adb wait-for-device? Also make sure that your device has no lock mechanism enabled (pattern lock etc).

Also, if you did any updates with your OTA, this will not work!
I used Sunshine, and paid the $25 to have them help me, it was the best 5 mins of my life!
After you get frustrated and try Firewater a few dozen times... head over to theroot.ninja and pay the $25 dollars... TOTALLY WORTH IT!!

I fought and fought with adb, rooting, and s-off and Im well versed in adb etc. Just do yourself a favor, pay the $25 fee and go with sunshine. Its expensive but will save you so much headache

I had no problem dropping the 25 bones for the S off. Those guys work hard and I was having a headache trying firewater which wouldn't work for me. It's easy and imo the $25 was worth it.
At&t user here saying "just do it"
You will sleep better after spending $25 and easily gain S-OFF

oh :/
I've read that somewhere else too.
But I thought it should be still working.
is there any other method then sunshine ? Because currently I can't buy it now.
And I don't want to wait...
Why should there be only one option ( sunshine) to take s off ?
Is it that hard to code a working programm ?

No disrespect mate but it looks like you underestimate the amount of work, time and knowledge needed to:
find a security hole and how to exploit it so you can grant s-off
do it again everytime HTC updates their firmware to patch these security holes
code everything so the average user can achieve s-off using an automated program
maintain everything (program, servers, website)
This have nothing to do with C# programming you can learn at high school to make your own calculator
So to answer your question, Yes its probably hard to do
