OK, so I've had my HTC One rooted for a little while. And I've researched into using apps like Freedom, but every time I use apps like that, my phone crashes and reboots. My phone also reboots at random times while using apps. I also cannot install busybox without it uninstalling on its own 10 mins. later. I just would like to know if you know any way off achieving S-Off that works?
NOTE: I've tried like 5 different methods I found off the internet but none have worked.

What Rom are you running? And what methods have you tried?
What will work depends on what version your bootloader is too
I am using the TWRP recovery. I have tried rumrunner which it says "bottle on too tight," and I have used a manual me this which I don't remember too many details of. My boot loader is unlocked completely. I was going to try Firewater but I was afraid it would wipe everything

Yes but which version of bootloader ie 1.56/1.57?
Which ROM? Viper? Stock? ARHD?
firewater Doesn't wipe anything at all either

Even Stock Rooted One_5.11.401.10_odexed.zip and ElementalX and Firewater worked for some.

Sorry about reply. Don't know how to delete. Anyways, what do you mean? I got the phone new in factory condition then rooted it. On the bootloader it says hboot 1.57.

everytime you updated the hboot your chance of s-off got less and less. you could still get lucky but you should have got s-off on hboot 1.44 - 1.56
Darn. Truthfully, it may have been on 1.57 when I bought it.

Hi!
I have a problem with my One after flashing a RUU.exe. At first I just wanted to put my device S-OFF for installing a Google Edition Rom. I tried every method with no succes. So I thought going back to the start by flashing the RUU.
My phone was rooted and Bootloader unlocked by HTC Dev. I started with locking the Bootloader. Now I'm stuck in Bootloader because every RUU install failed by noticing me that i tried to flash the wrong version. Furthermore I have no recovery anymore. Tried to flash a new one but i failed. I tried to flash RUU: 50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_..._release_310878_signed .exe and RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_..._release_ 308001_signed_2_4.exe
My device is a branding free version.
Bootloader shows:
Hboot 1.44
Radio 4A.16.3250.24
OpenDsp- v26.120.274.0202
I have absolutely no clue what to do. I need help please!
Thanks in advance!

you have to use revone to get s-off on that hboot ^^, with a compatible ROM, I'll send you one by PM confirmed to be working....
then just follow the revone instructions correctly, and you should be have S-Off. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582)

You could try it multiple times. Reboot the phone, computer, change USB ports, etc.. Who knows, maybe it'll work.
I know the M8 I got S-Off on took the 1.54.651.8 OTA before I even bothered to actually mess with it (unlock bootloader, root, and S-Off) and it was perfectly able to do all of those things.

If Firewater says it won't work on your device, then you can't get S-OFF for the time being. There's nothing you can do about that.
Don't flash anything above 1.54.651.8 without being S-Off

I'm running into the same problem and I need it badly.
If you do flash .13 without S-off you basically will have no way to flash the firmware and could be without audio from the stock music app.
Wow it's been a long night. This is a learning process for me. I've never come to a new phone so quickly so I'm getting used to the fact that development takes time and I need to be patient. I pretty much soft bricked my phone last night. Ended up deleting my system partition and had to pull some tricks to even get back into a bootable rom. I took one of the TWRP stock restores and reverted all the way back to 1.12.651.17. Then I fastboot flashed the stock recovery from 1.54.651.8 and took the OTA update so now I am completely back to stock....FEW...avoided a trip to the sprint store. I now understand that since I don't have S-OFF yet, I should flash any software versions over .8. In order to have a fully working .13, I'm sure the firmware is required as well (most likely the reason why my audio wasn't working for some of the ROMs). However, I'm still stuck with the issue in the picture below. I need to get S-OFF so I can flash the firmware 1.54.651.8, including the Hboot, Is it possible to flash an Hboot.img without being S-OFF?
#firewater is the IRC channel for the S-OFF by the way.
Also why is my radio and open dsp showing invalid-ver-info?
Anybody please help?
And something is really messed up because now my vibration won't work. No idea what is going on I just badly need s-off.
@mhuffer
So what is your current issue? It sounds like you have a working 1.54.651.8 setup, which, without S-OFF, is the most up-to-date. You might not be able to run the Harman Kardon ROM, as that may require the HK firmware, but besides that is everything working (outside of the invalid entries showing in HBOOT)?

Well it seems like my Hboot isn't recognizing my radios and somthing tells me the firmware is borked somehow because my vibration feedback isn't working. I am currently on 1.54.651.8, rooted, dev unlocked, fully stock. You can see from the picture my Hboot doesn't look right. My vibration was working fine yesterday but i cannot pin point when it stopped working. I'm guessing when I accidentally deleted the system partition through TWRP 2.7.0.7. I am currently running your version of TWRP (2.7.0.7). I'm also in the firewater IRC asking for help. I think my best bet would be to get s-off somehow and hboot the framework from 1.54.651.8 with unmodified hboot so I can get back to stock (if this is possible). At some point in all my confusion last night I did change my CID version to 11111111 and try to run the RUU for the HK version (.13) this might be where it all went wrong. I have my phone up and running and everything is working except for vibration and the Hboot looks out of whack.

Well if you're not S-OFF, you couldn't have changed your CID. And if you ran the OTA to get where you are now, then you're firmware is already stock.
You can try flashing the stock firmware from the 1.54.651.8 OTA again and see if that normalizes your device.

I need someway to revert my Hboot while being S-ON. I was hoping somebody that had some knowledge could make and RUU with the proper CID to revert EVERYTHING back to stock. I mean I want to start from the bottom up. I don't know if this is possible without HTC releasing anything.

I figured that, is there any way to create a flashable zip with signed everything except for the recovery so I can possibly push it through TWRP. You have to understand I want to try everything possibly before returning this phone to sprint. I have a feeling they will want to ship it off to HTC if the vibration doesn't work.

I never got a message of "You are out of luck" on my failed attempts. But....
First phone took me like 3 tries. Windows 7 x64
Second phone took like 4 failed attempts Windows 8.1 x64 (same computer) (timing out with over 2 minutes of dots......) using the exact same version of firewater as previous phone.
I was not sure if it was a Windows 8 issue.
Then I tried downloading the latest firewater and it was different from what I downloaded a month ago and worked the first time.
I agree. Try multiple times. Try with phone on WIFI vs Mobile Data. SO that Data is available quickly after adb reboot.
Try rebooting computer and try even another computer another USB port. Some computers have internal "USB Hubs". Try front vs Back etc.
I was able to do it on Windows 8.1 x64. I install latest HTC Sync. Then uninstall everything but the drivers.
I also had flashed Bad Boys 1.1 (Unlocked with S-ON) to get my rooted OS instead of manually rooting it. Then Factory Reset it. Turned on WIFI then did S-OFF.
Most rooted ROMs remove a lot of baggage that might interfere with rooting.
I'm still running all stock firmware though except for Recovery.
Thanks for all your replies. I keep trying, even with wifi on, and get this message every time (see attached picture). I really need s-off for wifi tether and so many more things. Please, someone must know a work-around?

Ouch, pretty blunt message.
You don't need S-OFF to get wifi tether. All you need is HTC Unlock and Root.
S-OFF mainly allows you to flash firmware. You can only flash complete and signed firmware without S-OFF.
And each time you do, you'll have to reflash recovery.
I believe you can install several ROMs with S-ON that support Wifi Tether.
I ran "Wifi Tether Router" from Google Play ($1.99) with S-ON (HTC Unlock/Root) before S-OFF was available.

The Captain is right. I got on the IRC this morning and talked to the firewater guys. They didn't really say why but they were at least a good amount of help. I can't say I blame them for not releasing any information on why. I just wish I knew about bootloader exploits.
Also, I'm on windows 7 pro 64-bit. I have a laptop with win 8 64-bit, but am afraid to try on that PC due to ALL its USB ports are 3.0 (and firewater says to avoid 3.0 ports).

It isn't wasted. It does compatibility checks before it does anything. Most important thing is to have stock kernel for it to work

[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.

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

Flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 then use it to install this rom https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358545524
In the Aroma installer choose options
Stock Recovery = Yes
Stock Radio = Yes
Root = No
When its done reboot the phone. you should be back to stock. Also OTA updates should work

It will install stock with root if you install an OTA you will have to reroot afterwards.
Obviously if you select no to stock recovery you'll stay with TWRP but OTA installs will fail.
One last thing if you ever thought about going s-off do it before you use any OTA updates.
With hboot 1.56 and stock Rom you can s-off with rumrunner for free. If you update to hboot 1.57 the only method is Sunshine and it costs $25 :good:

You need s-off to go back to 100% stock. What was the error rumrunner gave.

About the stock recovery, it's normal for it to go to a black screen. After a while it should display an image of a phone with red exclimation. That's normal too.
At this point hold volume up and press the power button to see the recovery menu. Ignore the errors about mount sd card that's also normal

It's totally up to you it depends how you feel about it. If the device still has warranty you will need s-off should you ever want to claim on it. It's also the reason I pointed you to the Stock reset rom rather than the RUU. Because the latest available RUU for your device has a lower firmware version than currently on the device. So you need s-off to use it.
But if your not that bothered then just go ahead and keep the device s-on. It just means that if you update the device and then later need s-off for some reason your only way will be Sunshine which you have to pay for. So i preffer to make people aware of it. But its totally up to you :good:
