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.

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All of these guides are now outdated because of Lollipop and Firewater is nonexistent at this point in time.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.

Beginner rooting questions

Hey all, I recently acquired an HTC one m7 and I previously had an xperia z1. I had unlocked the bootloader and rooted my previous phone but coming to m7's page I've found that there are many things new here. First is the S-Off business.
I basically wanted to ask if there's a specific order in which I should go. For example S-off first, then root then unlock bootloader or anything like that.
And secondly, for the xperia line, there was a tool called Flashtool that basically did all the things you need to unlock/root your phone. I was wondering if there's something like that for the One M7 so that I can flash stock firmware if need be.
Also, I'm on kitkat 4.4.3 HBOOT 2.49 so should I keep some things in mind?
Also, what is CID?
Sorry for so many questions, any help is appreciated
Thank you!

uhh, I will tell you what i know here related to your questions.
Firstly, if you want to customize your phone, first thing is to unlock your bootloader which is easy to do. Then you need to flash a custom recovery. After that you can do what you like.as to s-off, if you don't have special requirements,I think it's not a must step.
Secondly,there is indeed a tool for htc one.you may find it in one's development forum.
May that help you!

If I unlock bootloader before S-off, will I be able to get back "UNLOCKED" status or will it be "RELOCKED"

yeah you can get back to full locked status, but only with s-off, be careful though, theres not alot about for the dual sim really, you can pretty much find everything in the general section for the dual. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2495697
I think for your HBOOT, use Rumrunner to s-off. http://rumrunner.us/
EDIT: sorry for your HBOOT version you needed to use firewater s-off tool, but as thats discontinued, you'll have to try sunshine s-off tool which will cost $25 if it can s-off your device, it will run some checks first, if it can then you pay and it proceeds, if it cant it will let you know why and you dont pay: http://theroot.ninja/
if I remember correctly, CID is carrier identification.
the main things that matter, and that you need to take note of it your planning on changing them are CID, MID, HBOOT version and OS or version main (same thing really)

You cannot see the mainver because you flashed a recovery that wiped that info.

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.

Error downgrading from Lollipop to 4.x in RUU

My Sprint HTC M8 is on 4.25.654.14 (Lollipop). I want to downgrade the OS to 4.4.2. So I looked at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
I downloaded Sprint_HTC_One_M8_1.54.651.10_RUU.zip, extracted 0P6BIMG.zip, and renamed it to rom.zip. Run ARUWizard.exe & follow the steps. Here is errror I met:
ERROR[140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
How to bypass this error and downgrade the OS in RUU? Your help is appreciated.

You can't downgrade unless you are s-off.

Thank you, BD619. Can you please point me to a thread that shows how to free S-OFF my M8? Please forgive me, I am new to HTC ONE.. (I owned an EVO 4G long long time ago)

The only option is Sunshine which is $25.00.
None of the free methods work on the M8 anymore, due to HTC patching the exploit.

That's bad..... Not sure if I would spend $25 on that..... I am looking at the tutorials on how to unlock and root the phone. Does that mean, I can still flash custmoized ROMs through CMW or TWRP? If yes, then what functions are restricted with S-ON (besides downgrading)?

[Tutorial][Resource][Root]Unlock-Recovery-SuperSU for HTC One(M8)-Sprint-m8_whl
S-OFF is not required to flash roms...however most of the newer roms require your firmware to be the latest, meaning everytime there is an HTC update you would need to update your firmware in order for the rom to work correctly.
Being s-off makes it alot easier to update firmware.
