[Q] S OFF Help please - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I am rooted unlocked. I have tried to get s off using revone and it failed. I have the M7 with HBOOT 1.57 and software 5.03.651.3, sense 6. I can not find a method to gain S OFF for this setup. Can someone tell me if there is a way?
I also cannot install xposed frame work following the instructions for the HTC One apk and .zip.
Am I alone or are others having the same issues?
TIA

you'll have to use firewater or sunshine to get s-off with that hboot.

I am on stock kit kat, will firewater work with 1.57?
Also has anybody sett up xposed framework on a 5.03.651.3 software with hboot 1.57?

I think firewater will work with a custom kernel
as far as xposed it should work ok. I've been using it right along but I have an engineered bootloader.shouldn't make any difference
you install xposed framework as an apk, not a zip, install the apk like any other apk then install the framework from within the apk and reboot to activate

thanks for the replies. So if understand corectly with my stock rooted set up (see OP) there is no current way to gain S OFF?

no, there are people who have attained s-off with 1.57, can't remember their set ups but it can be done. just check through the forums you'll find what you need.

@Aldo101t I think it'll work if you flash CM11.
EDIT: Not 100% sure though, but I'll read around and see what I can find. If I remember correctly, firewater uses a kernel exploit so it does depend on what ROM you use. Kangaroo Kernel for example, since it uses the newest stuff is not supported by firewater.
EDIT2: Got some proof to back my claim.

I let it sit there for 30 minutes, despite the 2 minute warning, and it didn't do anything. I have the exact same HBOOT as OP. Not sure what to do.

I finally got it, here is what I did and used in hopes it will help OP:
First, I was stuck at the white HTC Logo thing, and that was cause I was missing the radio somehow. I got the latest from here and flashed it in recovery.
Then I flashed this ROM.
Then I flashed this Kernel. <-- Important!
Then follow the firewater instructions, and it should work first time.
Let me know if you need help, OP, I might be able to help.

Thanks for confirming that you can get s off- But I do not want to put a custom rom or kernel on, hard to believe this is the only way to get S off with HB 1.57
Curious though- does firewater or any other methods allow you to turn it back to S on and remove the *TAMPERED* flag like revone does?
Also the kernel you posted says its for JB roms- I have KK.

What if?

Would creating a twrp backup of my stock rom and kernel, then installing a custom kernel to use firewater for S OFF, Could I return to the stock kernel via TWRP and would the phone remain in S OFF?

Pew, I wish I had stumbled across your thread much earlier! I have been attempting to S-off my Sprint M7 for three days with no luck on a ridiculous number of combinations! Your method outlined above was the first one to work and it took no time at all! Thanks for being a lifesaver bud. :good::good:

No problem! I had just as much trouble as you did, nothing was working, but finally some combination did the trick. I hope this keeps helping people in the future.

This unfortunately did not work for me (same boat).

[Q] How do i get busybox on the stock rom ?

i kinda already got setup, unlocked, and everything on the stock rom, since this phone (and other htc phones) is/are "system locked" how do i get busybox on this? i figured they would stick through recovery but i cant seem to find a flashable busybox xbin/bin, and i know there USED to be a way to bypass the system lock but it used to cause kernel panics, what do i do ?
ive tried using moonshine but as i posted in that thread it just freezes after Test 2 at ERROR: ADB failure
You need to have S-OFF to install busybox via the actual app or you can just manually flash it via recovery.

Moonshine is the only way, just do it lol it's extremely easy. I've ruu'd my first countless times already and turned s-off many times too no problems.
Here's the thread I used to flash busybox before I turned my s-off though.

I used something called RUMRUNNER , I believe the url is something like rumrunner.us , anyways it uses similar commands as moonshine and similar website , but anyways since moonshine didn't work they recommended rumrunner on the irc and it worked perfect , the only thing though is that it caused a soft-brick which the only solution is to Relock the bootloader , which is fine because even with a lock boot loader you should still be able to flash roms and I think flash recoveries (I don't know just pick a custom recovery that you like just in case you can't later) and yeah that was it.
Oh another thing, if for some unknown reason you DONT wanna relock the boot loader (which keeps S-off after locking) then none of the roms based off stock will work, only the sense ports worked while unlocked and s-off for me.
But yeah this may not happen to everyone, just sharing my solution to a boot loop / soft brick if it happens to anyone who reads this as well.

Firewater S-OFF on Sprint HTC One w\hboot 1.56 works

I can confirm that firewater s-off works perfectly on the later kitkat software for the sprint htc one with hboot 1.56.
I prefered to use a rom with insecure kernel and root, infact I used the ViperOne 3.5 rom, and it worked perfectly on the first try. Its fantastic, that you dont need windows necessarily for this method!

I just figured I would post this, just incase there are those who arent sure if it works or not.
i am trying to do this from my mac on an unrooted/s-on stock Sprint HTC one on 4.4.2
i have uninstalled HTC Sync Manager
I have the temproot and firewater files in the same android folder as adb and fastboot
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
The phone reboots and i get the following message
cannot stat 'firewater': No such file or directory
any suggestions?
Maybe the space after firewater is causing the issue?

Sadly I can confirm the temproot method does not work with the htc one, so you must be unlocked and rooted in order to use this method.
This is the error I got every single time I attempted to run temproot:
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp $ ./temproot
run_root_shell, thanks fi01 - https://github.com/android-rooting-tools/android_run_root_shell
[*] Attempting to acquire root. This will take 5-10 minutes, be patient
error in setsockopt().
Failed to get prepare_kernel_cred address.
Failed to get commit_creds address.
Failed to get ptmx_fops address.
Failed to setup variables.
So that would imply the htc one doesnt work with the temproot method. sadly.
Does this work work with Viper Rom 5.0?
It should work

It should, cant imagine why it wouldnt. I think you just need to make sure you are rooted, and that adb has root access. I imagine an insecure kernel is probably something good to have for this, but thats just my guess. in any case this is the second easiest root method for the htc one lol

Yeah thats only true for the verizon model... Not the sprint model.. Firewater works on the sprint variant if you have root and the proper kernel.

easy as pie, folks:
1) load up @benny3's latest stock deodexed (or odexed if your really care) ROM;
2) yes -- the above has the correct kernel;
3) run it, update SuperSU just for good measure (run SuperSU and let it update in TWRP (mine, of course -- lol -- unless you like another build );
4) follow instructions.
takes about two minutes, done.
1.55 hboot is fine too, so's 1.56. How do I know? Cuz I did 'em. LOL.

No go running 1.56 here. Any enlightenment will help. I've done the above and followed the instructions on an OS X 10.8.2, Windows 7 x32 fresh, and Windows 8.1 x64. Baseband 1.00.20.1108 Software 3.05.651.6 if that helps.
Firewater worked on 4.4.2 with hboot 1.56
I tried Rumrunner with no succsess. Used several different Roms. Tried with unsecured kernels. Odexed and Deodexed.
I was about to give up. I saw several folks had used Firewater with good results.
1) I HTC Dev unlocked
2) Used the Android Revolution HD Rom.
3) Updated to SuperSu 1.94 (1.93 was giving me a weird boot loop)
4) Debugging engaged, Fastboot disengaged.
5) No sync software from HTC or anyone else on the PC.
6) Dropped the firewater folder in with the adb
7) Ran exactly as directed. I did get a root type request. So I answered SU.
8) One bottle of firewater was chugged. Stated as good and hot.
9) S-off achieved in about 4 minutes or less
Now, I cannot tell you if I needed the unsecured kernel for Firewater. But, to get anyplace close with Rumrunner it was needed.
Rumrunner went through a bunch of bottles then told me to reboot, rerun Rumrunner, and pray.
Now, I can complete my original task from 6 weeks ago. I want to go back to 4.3. Some things I am using do not work well with
4.4. Photo Vault. Mighty Text, Emoticons vs the suck-ass emoji, and so forth. I will thank the devolopers with a bottle of firewater
later today.

Can confirm this. Followed your directions and got s-off on 1.56. Thanks!
I can't get it to work at all. I have tried15-20 times and every time the same result. 12 cans and no buzz
I have tried the Android Revo 31.6 ROM, 3 different Venom ROM's, 2 different Bad Boy ROMS and benny3's latest ROM
I try on a hard drive with a new install of Windows 7, installed HTC Sync and removed HTC Sync. No other programs installed. It's a fresh
windows 7 install.
I have all the correct settings including 1 hour wake, no lock screen, and some other various settings I stumbled across.
I am plugged into a USB 2.0 port on back of computer(Tower PC)
I have SuperSu 1.94( which always wants to install binary and reboots)
It does not work. My phone is brand new, not sure if that makes a difference.
Any help is appreciated

Is that a guaranteed s-off? I wouldn't want to waste 25$
It isn't wasted. It does compatibility checks before it does anything. Most important thing is to have stock kernel for it to work

Try flashing a newer firmware?
[Guide] HTC ONE Hboot 1.57 Root S-Off Change CID Downgrade Hboot & OS
Search the above phrase on google. The first result should be from the site forums(dot)gsmhosting(com) with the title same as search.
I am a new user so I can't post external links.
I used that guide to achieve S-Off on my HTC One M7 UL with Hboot v. 1.57.
I had to run the final firewater commands several times before firewater launched finally. Enough tries to make me memorize those commands so I stopped copying and pasting them and instead actually typing them. But it worked for me.
I hope it helps.

Have you checked settings to see what network mode is checked? Check each one separately to see which one gives the best results. Auto generally works best! Did you have a GSM or CDMA phone?

So, for the past two days, I have been trying to S-Off my HTC One (M7), and it seems I have never been in luck. There was only my last hope with the Insertcoin gpe ROM, and it just opens, I click next in the setup, shuts down, restarts over and over. Basically bricked my phone, I re-installed my last ROM again. I have tried Revone, firewater, moonshine, and rumrunner. All of them didn't work for me. I'm currently running the AICP 4.4.2 ROM. My bootloader is unlocked, I'm rooted, and my hboot is 1.57.0000. I don't see what is the problem with my device. I am trying to get S-Off so I can convert my One into the gpe edition. If you could tell me step by step, thoroughly on how to get S-Off, or even install Insertcoin with S-Off, I will be very grateful. Thanks in advance. PS. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, I'm quite new here.

You can use flash image gui app from play store for kernel flash

The best way is to use your originally 4.4.2 stock and then flash only bulletproof 14.2 for 4.4.2 roms

Sorry but, do I need to have Sense or GPE in order to install it? Last time I've tried installing that kernel on a custom ROM, it bricked my device. So, I'm guessing I will need Sense, but do I need to be fully stock or can I just install another custom ROM with Sense such as the ViperOne?

[Q] Problems with SunShine: what stock kernel to flash?

Hello,
I wanted to S-OFF my HTC One M7 and it looks like my last hope is use SunShine in the end.
Since I receive the following message when SunShine runs on my phone, I would like to receive some help to figure out what is the stock kernel I have to flash in order to run SunShine.
At the moment I use Elemental X kernel, as shown in the signature below, but I have not been able to find a kernel to meet the requirements. By the way, I have a rooted and unlocked phone, and I wouldn't like to come back to stock if possible.
Thanks

1) do a nandroid backup in TWRP
2) install maximusHD, this one: http://llabtoofer.com/2014/12/02/htc-one-maximushd-46-0-0/
3) sunshine s-off
4) restore you nandroid backup
Hi!
Thanks a lot for your hint!
And what about doing as explained here instead? I mean where it says about "Step-by-step procedure before attempting to S-OFF (with the universal Rumrunner version for international variants)".
It doen't say anything about the hboot version. That should work I guess, without wiping anything by the way.

rumrunner only works on hboot 1.54 and lower

OK, thank you.
So, I could flash a ROM having such hboot and then try rumrunner. If yes, can you suggest me some rom to flash? There's lot of stuff here in the forum, I get confused to be honest.

nope, you cant back flash your HBOOT at all unless you are already s-off, I see in your signature your on 1.57, sunshine is the only way to s-off your device, really the only way - (people still ask after saying this if there is another way), you also need as close to stock as possible to use sunshine.
I succeeded using Sunshine in the end, flashing a stock kernel (boot.img) extacted by a stock ROM.
