Help Getting S-OFF

So I guess I just don't know what I'm doing anymore, and I need some help getting S-OFF on my One. I installed a 4.3 ROM and wanted to upgrade my firmware to 3.06.1700.10. To do this though, I saw I needed to have S-OFF.
I attempted S-OFF with both methods posted in the sticky. The revone method gave me "error code = 1", and the moonshine method fails to connect to ADB.
So I figured maybe I needed to revert to a compatible ROM to be able to get S-OFF. So I tried running the appropriate AT&T RUU utility, and it tells me the update failed and freezes on the HTC logo.
So both S-OFF methods failed, and the RUU failed. What do I need to do in order to get S-OFF so I can upgrade my firmware?

Forget it.

HTC One S-OFF 1.57 HELP

Hi everyone! I've been searching this forum whole day about 8 hours, and couldn't find any tool that would S-Off 1.57. Even latest Firewater doesn't help.... Any suggestions? Or is it possible to downgrade from 1.57 to lower? Thanks in advance.

downgrading hboot require s-off so no, its not possible.
firewater is the only tool that could s-off your phone. have you tried firewater + arhd 31.6? If you get the "whelp" message when trying to s-off there is nothing to do.
last possibility is to s-off the phone via a java card like they are doing at fonefunshop.com

No, I'm on 4.3 Google Play Edition, I had problems with ADB Authorization, I didn't get pop-up message when I connected the phone in debugging, so I had to install that rom, now everything works fine, but I want 4.4 Google Play Edition, so I heard it needs S-Off .. How do you think , should I wait for for 1.57 support or change rom and try this? This HTC Bloatware really annoys me ..

just try a 4.4 rom from the development section. you don't need S-off, just unlock the bootloader, install recovery, and flash new roms.

I am using a M7_UL running stock 4.4.2 with hboot 1.57 and I followed the steps mentioned and managed to get S-OFF.
Edit: realised that you were the one who shared in the other thread. So thanks for sharing man!

Yea I found it but couldn't test it I wasn't at home, will try later. So it is possible ) I want to convert my M7 into Google Edition, so I hope that helps me also.

Wiped internal memory, only recovery accesible

Starting point: android 4.4.3 hboot 1.57, bootloader unlocked.
I wanted to play some with my phone. I flashed recovery via adb (TWRP) and after that I wiped system, cache and internal memory from recovery. My downloaded ROM (Insert Coin) was on internal memory so now I'm stuck. I can enter recovery and that's pretty much all. I tried sideloading and it moved file correctly but when I tried installing this "sideload.zip" file it gave me error after several seconds, something like unable to open the file. Can someone help me with this problem? Thanks in advance
In the mean time, before installing recovery, I flashed new kernel (bulletproof) - I don't know if that may be the cause.

what version of TWRP ?
Try version 2.6.3.3 if you have a GSM HTC One m7

Thank you for your response. Fortunately it worked after third or fourth time. Dunno why 0.o. And another question I wanted to do S-off but firewater says something about being unable to do this: "whelp, this sucks..." I remember acquiring s-off sometime ago (on different hboot though) so why?

Whelp this sucks means Firewater won't work on your phone. Only choice is using sunshine. It will cost you $25 but it does work

You should be able to use firewater. I have the HTC One M7 as well (with T-Mobile) and I used firewater to S-Off my phone. I just know that you need to have an internet connection for it to work. Also try revone or moonshine.

Revone or moonshine do not work on new hboots. Nor will Firewater work if you get the whelp this sucks message. Like I said, sunshine or nothing

Hmm ok. Well anyways I'm not sure why it didn't work for OP. I used firewater and it went just fine.

Firewater is discontinued and will not work, rumrunner isn't for hboot1.57.
Sunshine is the only method available for 1.57

Hello, i have the Problem and Smilex posted for me.
The thing is, that sunshine makes some checks wether it is possible or not.
But alll sense-roms are crashing after teo minutes. So i cant usw sunshine. Only if i flash cm it doesnt crash. But i think it crashes because of the unknown imei und baseband.
So i ask wether anybody know a rom which is not as near to sense as Android HD Revolution and the others but use a kernel which is sunshine possible and dont let my phone reboot each two minutes...

ok, nobody can help me. bye htc one.

If youre trying to s-off with sunshine,you need a completely stock rom.i had a near stock rom & because the ramdisk was debuggable in boot.img,sunshine failed.i went back to 4.3 stock that i had a nandroid backup for.i would suggest using an RUU to get back to stock,if youre s on it shouldnt matter and i can confirm that the hboot for 4.3(1.57.xxxx) is compatabile with sunshine,because thats the hboot i had.
EDIT:my bad,i just found out you cannot use an RUU with an s-on device.im gunna see if i can find a zip without needing the use of an RUU.
Edit2: heres a link to an htc guru stock package for the m7.
You can flash this through fastboot,NOT recovery.
If you need commands or are unsure what to do,post back

Wow talk about mis information this is totally Wrong. A guru reset is always flashed with TWRP (2.6.3.3 Preferred)
And it's not really what he needs anyway it's too old
If your software is indeed x.xx.401 try this one >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358543706

thank you for chiming in.ive been out of the HTC device game for awhile.i appreciate the correction.

[Q] S-Off/Firmware Update Help

Hello,
I recently rooted my M8 and have run into difficulties trying to run the GPE 5.0.1 ROM. I have TWRP installed and have no issues installing the GPE Rom itself, however, when I try to use WIFI the radio doesnt turn on and is unresponsive. Doing a little research I found it was due to my old firmware. So I tried to install the newest Firmware from the thread on M8 Android Dev, but when I try to use the RUU and the FUU, my phone is not recognized by the software. I tried to flash via HBOOT and it just asks me to reset my phone and doesn't do anything. Since I was S-ON I made sure I was using the full firmware for all of the methods, but it wouldn't work. So I tried to S-OFF my phone to see if that would help, but Firewater has been discontinued and I can't get Sunshine to run on my rom, so I am unable to S-OFF. I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to how I could get my phone S-OFF as well as to the new firmware.
Thank you.

You have to be running a stock rom when you use Sunshine
