[Q] S-OFF on HBOOT 1.57 - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
Basically I'm attempting to S-OFF my HTC One so I can flash on different stock firmware, namely the GPE firmware. Simply put I can't seem to find a straight answer on how to achieve S-OFF on my HBOOT version. I've tried both Firewater and Rumrunner with no success. I attempted both on CM11 and an un-official CM12 ROM with zero success, all I get are messages telling me to switch my phone off and start again.
What is the most successful method to achieve S-OFF on the given HBOOT? Should I be using another ROM perhaps?

Hi friend, my hboot is 1.57 and i have the latest firmware which is 6.09.401.11 .
For making s-off with ARHD +Bulletproof combination, do i have to downgrade my firmware or hboot or will it work directly ?
thanks

Well Firewater has been discontinued so that's of little use, any other known methods/combinations?

Discontinued yes but it still works for some people. If it doesn't then go sunshine. It will cost you $25 but it will do compatibility tests first to see if it works

Can't see how it can work as it relies on some remote content. Any attempt to use it is hanging on the very first steps of initialization.
Regarding Sunshine I find so shocking to read everyone advising to go for it. $25 to get 100% access to our phone, that is just so ridiculous. And even if it's guaranteed.

Well it depends on the urgency. Some need quick s-off to return device to stock for warranty, and that's cool I guess. Its worth it then. I on the other hand like some others need s-off to maybe convert to GPe to try out lollipop. However seeing as its only a matter of short time until its released for stock sense devices, the wait isnt bad at all...

Well it's currently easily the cheapest way to s off. You can take it to a shop that uses a java card and pay more. HTC like to lock their phones down good. Which for the average user is a good thing. Has lots of safeguards

If you find it so shocking then blame HTC, and other OEM's because is their fault that our devices are locked. This guy's found a vulnerability in these devices and with hard work, money invested and free time lost they put up this amazing tool that help us.
If you work for something and invest money and time in that then you would give it for free?
I say thanks to them because at least even if is paid EXISTS. They could renounce to develop S-off and then we won't have to blame them that they sell us freedom for our devices.

I am usually part of those who support devs for their good work by donating. But 25$ is for me way to much for supporting such a hack. I am not saying their work is not good, it looks quiet nice in fact. If they would make their first price around 5$ and still opened to donations it would be much more reasonable. But hey, that's just my opinion.
On a side note I totally agree with you on the HTC responsibility in that, they totally suck and I think it's the last time I go for their devices. This S-OFF thing is so much giving me the feeling I don't own the device I paid for... (not to mention I have a barely usable camera)

Yes, I agree. I would be happy to pay if it were something along the lines of $5-10, but $25 is a bit too much for myself.
Firewater doesn't work anymore for me either, makes sense given that it relies on some content stored on their servers.

If you have exhausted the many combinations for firewater and you are receiving the whelps this sucks message then your another alternative is the paid S-OFF Sunshine.

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.

Thank you but, I did achieve S-OFF already without downgrading and firewater using Sunshine. My problem now is not getting signal only Emergency Calls

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?

Firewater is server based...if it's not on the server anymore it's not going to work.
The first thing Firewater does is look for updates.
It sucks, however...
So unless you were lucky to get S-OFF before they killed their servers, Sunshine and $25 is the only route to go.
On a good note, it is pretty much guaranteed to work. And let's say you decide to go back to stock and need to take security again, you can do it and they won't charge you again. (at least on that same device)

Sunshine at $25 is the only way, your wasting your time trying anything else.

Register for a PayPal account then, there is no other way, use sunshine or live with s-on.
The guys who created sunshine destroyed many expensive phones building it for us to get s-off, I think they are very justified to charge a very small amount for it, considering what it cost them, and I would do the same, wouldn't you ?

S-OFF Harmon Kardon m8

I'm about to S-OFF my m8 and turn it into a GPE device. Before I do that I was to make sure I know how to get back to s-on and stock I can't find any instructions online for my device anyone can give me some advice on this before I spend my $25 for sunshine.

DO NOT UPDATE TO GPE BEFORE YOU S-OFF
As someone who recently started playing with his HTC One (m8) in hopes of international use, I had hoped to save $25 dollars and not S-off until I needed to.
YOU NEED TO S-OFF FIRST.
There is no way to S-Off with Lollipop installed, and you will have to get back to stock before you can S-off.
All of these guides are now outdated because of Lollipop and Firewater is nonexistent at this point in time.
And almost every way you attempt to revert to a stock image that Sunshine will actually run on will surprisingly be met with errors and issues. I am in the process of going through some of these hiccups myself, and am hoping I can help others with some of the ones I have ran into.
I unlocked through HTC Dev, Got Sprint to SIM unlock for me, and installed GPE 5.0.1...........Turns out the radio still doesn't work and any and all other mods will require you to S-OFF, but you can no longer S-Off because you have updated your phone.
EVERY GUIDE SHOULD HAVE THIS INFORMATION, at least until a new Sunshine comes out. Save yourself a **** ton of trouble and S-off right away. I wish there were newer guides that told me this.

Thanks for the help yea I can't get sunshine to work at all and I figured it was because of lollipop. Hopefully I can get a cm ROM running on my phone to pass the time as its been impossible so far.

As close to stock as possible, Viper is too modded / customised, and dont get your hopes up, if rumrunner doesnt work, then sunshine is the only way.

nope, the developers charge you a very small price in my opinion due to the amount of phones they brought and destroyed creating sunshine, $25 is nothing to what it cost them to develop it.
