[Q] how to s-off with new t-mo update

I keep getting an error when I try to s-off my wife phone after the new official T-Mobile update. Are there any tricks or techniques that would help me gain s-off. My phone had s-off via revone before I updated so I don't have the problem.

i guess your HBoot version is now 1.54 after updating, before it was 1.44. right now we don't have the possibility to get s-off with 1.54, you'll have to wait.

That update apparently closed the exploit revone uses to gain root access. You probably have to unlock via htcdev first.

If they closed the exploit, how will unlocking help? He will be unlocked and can root, but not S-Off.

It closed the Motochopper root exploit, not the s-off exploit.

You need to type su before the -P command to get root access.

Doesn't the # sign signify root?
I'm having the same issue.. would love to figure this out as well

Just to be clear, I'm sorta in the same boat. My phone badly needs to run the T-Mobile RUU and I don't really care about S-Off. What I do care about is getting root later on. My bootloader is already unlocked via HTC dev. Running the RUU on my phone shouldn't cause any problems in my scenario since I don't care about S-Off, correct?

I wanted to put the Google Edition rom/firmware on my T-Mobile HTC One and cant get S-OFF to be able to change CID and make the necessary updates.

[Q] Send my HTC to warranty

Hello,
I have camera problems on my One and it also reboots for no reasone once a week, so I have to send it to warranty.
My question is: is there a possibility to make my bootloader " LOCKED" ?
I have hboot 1.55, firmware 3.62.401.1 and S-OFF.

Yes, use revone, on the phone you have to type:
su
./revone -l
Check the first page of the revone thread in the original development section.
I just had a thought, you might need to install an older ROM.

to LOCK your bootloader,enter the following:
adb devices
adb shell
su (if needed to get a # prompt)
echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796
(i would very strongly recomend you copy/paste this)
exit
(exit a second time if you need to to get back to a normal > prompt)
adb reboot bootloader
verify you are now locked

Install an older ROM? You must be able to find 1.29.401.x RUU from somewhere, install it, revone it, update it, etc...

[Q] S-OFF 1.56 Problems

Currently I'm running ARHD 71.1 with ElementalX 14.10 on my HTC One ul. Its rooted and HTCDev unlocked. The full getvar is attached.
The problem is I can't for the love of God get S-OFF. Before I tried Bulletproof, Elemental 14.12.and even used stock ROM.
But whatever I do I can'T seem.to S-OFF.
I tried Firewater and that used to at least start but now it keeps on saying /data/local/tmp/firewater not found.
I've tried rumrunner but that kept on giving me FATAL: download updated ...from romrunner.us. Then I uninstalled Avast, reinstalled the drivers and it passed that part. But then I got upto 8 pours and it said wait 30 seconds...retry...
Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be? Developer options are on, USB debugging is on, Lock screen is off and ADB + Fastboot is working fine
Please if anyone could help me it would be awesome

Sorry for the noobish question but downgrading my ROM to 4.3 from 4.4.2 shouldn't cause problems, right?

I don't think so.
And if you still can't get S-Off, try download a nandroid backup for your device and use the firewater method. It worked for me.
Hope this helps

I can't find any newer version of nandroid backup for your device. Just try using a stock ROM guru reset: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
Just flash it and try the firewater method.

What ElementalX kernel version u used? The latest is not for ARHD 31.6.
U need Sense 5.5 Android 4.3 ElementalX kernel "ElementalX-m7-8.4":

What error do you receive when using firewater?
If you get the message "whelp this sucks.........." there is nothing you can do as the message says.
You must wait till new exploit will work for M7 (maybe SunShine will be updated for us).

Also wait until Sushine gets free.
U can also try ARHD and Bulletproof Kernel, or a ViperRom as firewater gets some positive feedback, see here:

Rumrunner will not work with hboot 1.56.
Post result from Firewater in Firewater thread.
Did u ensure device is booted to android with usb debugging enabled?
U typed by mistake "/data/local/tmp/firewater" twice? Reboot both device and computer and try again?
Unroot and try methode 2.

Can't make S-Off via Firewater on hboot 1.56

Hi
I can't make S-Off on my HTC One M7 - CID - HTC__032
The problem is in adb shell when I write in cmd :
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
And then the process doesn't start, I see
Viperone:# or sth like this but I have root rights on adb. Tried on two PCs, one with Windows 7 and second on Windows 8.1, all 64-bit.
How to solve this problem?

You do realise after that command u have to type /data/local/tmp/firewater for it to start?

oopsss i didnt realise that
OK, thanx now got S-Off

I did exactly what you said and nothing happens in my case.
I have hboot 1.57 and all drivers,fastboot and adb are working perfect.
I tried using cm with their s-off kernel and on latest arhd with elementalx kernel without any luck.
Do you have any advice for me?

s-0ff
You may have too new a bootloader for Firewater.
Might need to spend $25 to get in done via Sunshine.
Google 'Sunshine s-0ff' and you will find their site.
I have used it, and it works easy. After that, you can install
a custom recovery, root it, and use stock software or find a custom
rom. I like the custom roms far better than stock. You may too!

[Q] S-off hboot 1.56 confusion

I am currently using ViperRom 7.02 with ElementalX kernel.
I am S-on. hboot 1.56
Currently i was trying to S-off with this combination using rumrunner method , but it goes to pouring 8 times and in the end it tells me to wait 30 seconds before turning the device back on (even though it never shuts down) and running rumrunner again. I have done this several times to no avail.
I tried firewater method too but it didn't work.
I followed these commands -
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
/data/local/tmp/firewater
Nothing happens after last step.
1 .So the question is do i need to go back to nearly stock Rom like ARHD to even try this S-off method. I see v84 of the Rom which is 4.4.3 sense with Sense 6 or do i need to go to older Rom?
2 . Or can S-off method can work after flashing CM or it is necessary to flash Sense ROM only?
3. I was very much interested in running Sense 6 on top of lollipop but read Lollipop not booting because we need to update firmware to latest to run it otherwise it won't boot. Can anyone confirm this ?
