For some reason when I get to the command "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater" it's telling me "operation not permitted". Strange cause adb shell has superuser permissions...gonna try on my desktop pc.

I had that too.. check your phone's screen and accept the root request.

I can also confirm it works. I used the HTCDev Unlocked/Rooted method and am now S-Off.

Wow I am S-Off. That was quick and easy. Only complication was having to download an app (USBDebug) from the play store in order to enable usb debugging mode.

Settings/About/Software Information/More/ tap Build number 7 times. Adds Developer options. back to Settings just above Activate this device. Enables USB Debugging there.

Another confirmed success! :GOOD:

last line tells me you are not in the adb shell anymore. since thats a response from windows are you sure you are not getting kicked out of adb shell.

your case IMO seems to be the system write protection.
Why don't you use the wp_mod.ko from flare.
this is the guide someone wrote on the htc m8 dev forum just to clarify
first reboot to recovery and mount system go to the file manager and you should've downloaded the module from the htc m8 forum here on xda.
copy the module to system/lib/modules and chmod 644
reboot
open up terminal and type su
then
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
to verify that is loaded type lsmod and see if is loaded.
last thing go to system/etc/ and find the file init.installrecovery.sh and add
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
to the end of the file save and exit and reboot.
now when you reboot and you open terminal and type lsmod the wp_mod should be loaded and it should say permanent.
now try fire and water again.

Thank you @chemjb it wasn't even that complicated. I guess something went wrong when I flashed the supersu zip the first time. I flashed again and this time it took. Worked first try after that. S-Off and ready to roll.

I could be wrong but are you not supposed to do the 'su' command before the 'chmod' command?

S-off problem

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.

Did you do "adb reboot, then adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp" before the other commands?

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
