[Q] Downgrade firmware to get S-Off with Firewater? - Sprint HTC One (M8)

Is it possible to download a past RUU and downgrade my firmware to gain S-Off with Firewater? I recently tried the exploit on the latest 4.4.3 firmware (2.16.651.4) and it said the exploit had already been patched

You can try to run Firewater with THIS rom

My bad that's for the M7 sorry
You could try one of these no guarantee they will work but it's worth a chance (make sure you have a good backup in case something goes wrong)
M8WHL_1.54.651.8_Stock_Rooted_Odex_CPTB-UPDATED.zip
M8WHL_1.54.651.10_stock_rooted_CPTB-odex.zip

You can't go to a older version RUU than what you are on without s-off. If firewater doesn't work then you will need to use sunshine.

[Q] RUU to downgrade 4.2.2 to 4.1.2?

Alright, so my friend has an AT&T One and it had 1.26.502.10 firmware (like mine), but he had some camera issues... He decided to do all the modding (root, s-off, etc...) and upgraded to 4.2.2 firmware 2.24. His camera issues continue, and he plans on returning to 4.1.2 with the available RUU that returns the phone to 1.26.502.12. He is s-off, supercid, unlocked bootloader, rooted, running twrp 2.6.0.1 and is on stock rooted 2.24.401.1 Rom. I thought of just using that RUU to return him to fully stock, but since it has all the mods I'm not really sure if I should take another approach or other steps. Please help me out here, I don't wanna brick his phone (even though he's taking it to be replaced). Thanks in advanced!
just download this and run it

he couldnt run this with out the mods
Just run the RUU, as he's S-OFF there should be no issues

Will do, thanks for ur quick reply!
There's the odd thread here and there saying if you're on the 1.54 HBOOT you need to downgrade to 1.44 before the RUU will work but try it first and see how you get on

Hmm, will I get a kind of error during the RUU process that might possibly brick the device or will it warn me before the RUU process starts? Can I and should I just flash the 1.44 RUU from fastboot before starting the RUU? The phone's on 2.24 right now with the modded 1.54 hboot (I know he first has to flash the original, but can/should he flash the 1.44 instead?).
EDIT: As far as I've read till now, the ones having errors were converted to Google Edition with GE hboot and all... I did read about 2 people (one with 2.17 and the other with 2.24 like my friend's phone) both on 1.54 hboot and it worked for both of em. I'm just gonna go ahead and flash the RUU on my friend's phone and hope for the best

s-off, hboot 1.44 problem

Hi,
Here is the situation.. I have an HTC One..
the hboot is still on 1.44 with s-on.
I want to flash the latest firmware, which is only possible with s-off.. problem is that I'm running a 4.4.2 ROM and trying revone throws an error as the ROM doesn't match the hboot.
Is there anyway I can get s-off easily? or do I have to hunt down a 4.1.2 ROM and flash that before trying to update the firmware?
You can try firewater
I had the same situation, trying to S-OFF with HBOOT 1.44. I was able to get revone's method to work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
The only issue I ran into is at step 4
4. Prepare to gain S-OFF by running the command: ./revone -P

It wouldn't work without root. I used firewater's temp root and it worked perfectly. I did not need my bootloader unlocked or my device rooted.

firewater was the first one I tried cause I'm accustomed to using it with the 1.55 and 1.56 hboot..
didn't work on this run.. and revone keeps failing..
Thinking i'll relock the bootloader and flash the stock ruu with the latest firmware and see if that gets me up to hboot 1.56 and then unlock the bootloader and try firewater again..
any thoughts on this procedure before I try it?

I would try a 4.1.2 rom before you wipe your device with the RUU.

Try firewater first, revone is outdated, but may work too. I s-off my phone, got lucky, I thought it didn't work. I can back after a smoke, and it said s-off, lol.

Ok thanks, and what about the firmware, as far as i understand, if i like to upgrade my radios, must flush the firmware?
Once you have s-off and supercid(11111111) you can flash anything. But for now latest international is 5.11.401.10. This is the guide I used, it was very helpful

Is your phone on the at&t network? If not you willl not receive ota updates and flashing ota update manually requires S-OFF. Try rumrunner S-OFF. Once S-OFF change your CID so you can flash the Dev edition RUU and receive ota updates normally.
My phone is AT&T but I can't update because I am not using the same carrier. Rumrunner will not work because my hboot 1.44.000 even revone didn't work. So please help me to make s-off

Then update your hboot to 1.54/.1.55 using a RUU
this one for example: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...3_10-38j-1157-04_release_334235_signed_2-exe/
Once the RUU is flashed (and hboot updated) unlock the bootloader, flash twrp recovery, root the phone and achieve s-off using rumrunner
Or you can buy sunshine s-off for 25 if you want to make it simple.
I tried with RUU flashs but also not working

What is the problem exactly when flashing the RUU?
Error 158. It doesn't flash. Taking in consideration that I'm choosing the right flash.
Is there any way to flash hboot alone or change cid with s-on,?

And this is using the RUU linked above? 3.17.502.3?
No you can't change your CID with s-on.

I tried all the guru RUU flashed that suitable to my phone's CID. I think I need to make s-off for now.
