I got S-Off using firewater and I want to get the tampered banner off my h-boot. When I try searching around all I could find was how to do it on the M8.
Since you're S-OFF, use this.

Sounds like you only flashed the FAUX LOCKED HBOOT file. There's another one called "No Red Text 5.03.651.3 hboot" in the same post. I flashed it the other day and the red tamper banner was gone.

Does the S-OFF Moonshine method work with 1.54 HBOOT (As I see revone doesn't)? I'd like to change my CID as I really miss having the official English Google Keyboard in my Google Edition ROM however it keeps saying

You can if you've got hboot 1.44 but not with 1.54..... HTC closed the exploit with the updated firmware.
If you're s-off with 1.44 then upgrading the firmware won't lose you s-off.

Is it possible to downgrade your HBOOT? I'm guessing not but thought I'd ask! I also read everywhere that's its pretty risky and probably not worth it.

Even if you managed to once you rebooted the phone it would essentially brick, and to boot the new hboot you need to reboot.
Just going to have to wait

Ok so I just got S-Off and the guide says that the tampered sign will go away once I achieve but it did not what I'm wondering is do I need to worry about it since I have s-off. It's been a while since I had to gain s off. Sorry if this has been answered

if it doesn't bother you having it say tampered then you don't need to do anything.

Hey guys, so I got my Sprint HTC One M8 Harmon/Kardon Edition today, rooted it, and achieved s-off. Now I am just wondering if it is safe to install the custom firewater hboot since I am pretty sure that it was made for the non Harmon/Kardon edition. If anyone has any insight, that would be great.

I notice ENG commands aren't enabled though. In the custom HBOOTs I was testing, adding the ENG commands made the device unbootable. I guess they never found a way around that .
Sprint HTC One (M8) Harmon/Kardon Edition Network locked
I have same model need help to unlock to indian networ.
It's really all in the title. I originally went S-OFF with rumrunner, set back to S-ON with the HTC1Guru guide for a charge port warranty repair, now I can't get back to S-Off
Running a rooted stock sense 5.5 android 4.3 WWE ROM, from HTC1Guru, unlocked bootloader, HBOOT 1.56. Tried Rumrunner, moonshiner, revone, firewater, all failed! Is there any way to get me back to S-Off?
It's an unlocked One BTW.
Another weird thing is that in HBOOT, my OS line shows up blank, no numbers.

OS line showing up blank isn't quite an issue. However, 1.56 S-OFF is luck. Some succeed, some don't.
If it cant be S-OFF'ed on ARHD 31.6, im afraid you may have to wait a little longer for a solid exploit.

Hey guys,
i'm sending my One to htc at the moment and i think i'll get it back in a couple of days with new camera module and a firmware update .
At the moment my HBOOT is 1.4x, the phone was S-OFF via revone and i reversed it back to stock yesterday.
Are there any safe possiblities to S-OFF a 1.57 HBOOT device WITHOUT using htcdev?
From what i've read recently
- Revone isn't supported with HBOOT 1.57
- Firewater can maybe S-OFF but needs HTCDEV unlock and maybe the Bootloader is TAMPERED after that
- Sunshine costs 25 USD !?
So is the conclusion correct that an unlock via htcdev is absolutely necessary to S-OFF atm?
Is it also correct that i can't get rid of the TAMPERED flag when Firewater fails?
Thanks
Once S-Off you can revert the BL back to locked and remove the tampered flag anyway.
That's right but from what i heard some devices can't be S-OFFed with Firewater. Then the device is TAMPERED and you can't get rid of that because S-OFF doesn't work!?

you cant get rid of the tampered flag full stop without s-off
sunshine does not require the bootloader to be unlocked, it does everything for you but like you said costs $25 however, it is a one off payment, after that you don't need to pay again to s-off the same device again.
all other s-off tools require the bootloader to be unlocked via HTC Dev.
if you are on HBOOT 1.56 or 1.57 and firewater fails then sunshine is the only way.

Okay, thank you very much for that!
Sorry for the question but can i install TWRP and flash ROMs via Recovery when just htcdev unlocked and S-ON? On the One X it was necessary to flash the boot.img from a pc. On the One this isn't necessary right?

yes you can flash custom rom's whilst s-on as long as the bootloader is unlocked and also correct, no need to flash the boot.img separately.
Does someone know what devices will fail with firewater? Is it a change in the hardware maybe? My One is from May 2013 so i hope it may work.
There has to be a change between the devices with 1.57 that fail and the devices that work!?

if you sent your phone back to HTC to get the camera repaired, they will probably replace the motherboard, if they do then firewater probably wont work, all you can do is try.
Okay, i'll wait and report
Dunno if it's different but when I s-offed and unlocked and rooted my HTC one max I used firewater and used temp root method which in turn s-offed and unlocked bootloader which can be done on our highest hboot. I don't no if it's different for you guys but it might not be such a major problem but when I sent my HTC one m7 back for repair when I had it I reverted back to stock and left s-off present they said nothing about it.

if you request them to don't update software they don't do that
If it's camera problem they don't tends to update they don't waste their time if your phone motherboard s off once it can be easily again
