I'm already s-off, unlocked and rooted. Can I flash the latest full firmware and remain s-off? Also could ibstripnthe recovery out of it so I can keep twrp. I mainly wanna update my hboot. Thanks

You can flash the latest firmware and remain S-OFF.
Flashing the firmware won't affect TWRP.
I personally never update my hboot

I thought the firmware included hboot and recovery? Wouldn't that overwrite twrp. I'm only doing it because I believe the newer hboot works with fastboot ans Windows 8.1

If you flash the one for S-OFF users that does not include(hboot,recovery,boot) you will be good that is the one I tested for OMJ just make sure you are on TWRP 2.6.3.0 or touch won't work in TWRP

[Q] HTC One Bootloader problem after RUU

Hi!
I have a problem with my One after flashing a RUU.exe. At first I just wanted to put my device S-OFF for installing a Google Edition Rom. I tried every method with no succes. So I thought going back to the start by flashing the RUU.
My phone was rooted and Bootloader unlocked by HTC Dev. I started with locking the Bootloader. Now I'm stuck in Bootloader because every RUU install failed by noticing me that i tried to flash the wrong version. Furthermore I have no recovery anymore. Tried to flash a new one but i failed. I tried to flash RUU: 50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_..._release_310878_signed .exe and RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_..._release_ 308001_signed_2_4.exe
My device is a branding free version.
Bootloader shows:
Hboot 1.44
Radio 4A.16.3250.24
OpenDsp- v26.120.274.0202
I have absolutely no clue what to do. I need help please!
Thanks in advance!

Still need ^ output to suggest. However if rumrunner didn't work (did you root your device and enabled usb debugging and accepted security prompt on the device? ) then your options are revone and moonshine..

Don't know the modification date of HBOOT. I'm on 1.44.0000
Is the modification date eMMC-boot?
Then it would be the 10th of April 2013
Moonshine isn't working on my device. I've now flashed a stock rom. Still on S-ON

you have to use revone to get s-off on that hboot ^^, with a compatible ROM, I'll send you one by PM confirmed to be working....
then just follow the revone instructions correctly, and you should be have S-Off. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582)

[Q] Can´t get S-OFF

Hello
i have htc one m7_u hboot 1.44 s-on rooted, and software version 3.62.401.1
I tried rumrunner but i gives me an error related to adb. Then tried revone, but in terminal it says revone failed error 1
Any ideas? i want to flash 4.4.2 roms
thanks

You need to go back to install older 4.1 rom that is compatible with 1.44. Right now you have a mismatch between HBOOT and ROM version.

S-Off

OK, so I've had my HTC One rooted for a little while. And I've researched into using apps like Freedom, but every time I use apps like that, my phone crashes and reboots. My phone also reboots at random times while using apps. I also cannot install busybox without it uninstalling on its own 10 mins. later. I just would like to know if you know any way off achieving S-Off that works?
NOTE: I've tried like 5 different methods I found off the internet but none have worked.

What Rom are you running? And what methods have you tried?
What will work depends on what version your bootloader is too

I am using the TWRP recovery. I have tried rumrunner which it says "bottle on too tight," and I have used a manual me this which I don't remember too many details of. My boot loader is unlocked completely. I was going to try Firewater but I was afraid it would wipe everything

Yes but which version of bootloader ie 1.56/1.57?
Which ROM? Viper? Stock? ARHD?
firewater Doesn't wipe anything at all either

Also, if you use firewater and get a "whelp" message then nothing will work other than sunshine method, which costs 25 buckaroos

I believe I'm on 1.57 boot loader with a stock ROM. I was looking into ARHD.

Many had luck getting s-off using Firewater, ARHD 31.6 and ElementalX
Even Stock Rooted One_5.11.401.10_odexed.zip and ElementalX and Firewater worked for some.

Sorry about reply. Don't know how to delete. Anyways, what do you mean? I got the phone new in factory condition then rooted it. On the bootloader it says hboot 1.57.

everytime you updated the hboot your chance of s-off got less and less. you could still get lucky but you should have got s-off on hboot 1.44 - 1.56

Darn. Truthfully, it may have been on 1.57 when I bought it.

Is it possible to S-OFF HBOOT 1.61?

I recently installed the HTC lollipop OTA update which has upgraded my device to version 7.19.401.2 with a HBOOT of 1.61.
Is there a method to S-OFF this version, or does the version not matter?

I think you might want to change the thread's title to "[Q] Is it possible to S-OFF HBOOT 1.61?" . Seems like you'll get more answers that way.

I think sunshine will work on 1.61 but you'll need to flash a kitkat rom (4.4.3-) since support for lollipop and 4.4.4 is supposed to come with the 3.0 release of sunshine. Better to ask them directly on their IRC channel.

Are you sure ? I tried to get s-off when I were on 1.57 hboot, I installed KK and my touch was not responding due to the incompatibllity of LP firmware with KK rom...

Download SunShine for Motorola and HTC - 3.0.12
SunShine is our bootloader unlock/s-off tool for Motorola and HTC phones. We currently support most HTC phones, and Moto X (2013), MotoG (2013) and Droid Maxx/Mini/Ultra on Android 4.4.3 and lower. All modern HTC devices (m7 m8 e8 Mini2 remix dna etc) devices are supported up to 5.0.1, as long as they are rootable. SunShine can work without pre-rooting all 4.4.3 and below devices, and some 4.4.4 devices. 5.0.x uses will have to root with HTCDev.com. Verizon 5.0.x users will have to wait until we update.

Is there a way to attain S-OFF on 1.61 with Verizon?

yes see the s-off thread in the verizon section. You'll need to achieve temp root so you can use Sunshine to s-off.

Thank you. I can't pay $25 for it though, it is a "temporary phone" for me.
Sunshine isn't free, is it? Maybe I was seeing a scam version if it is.

If I intended to keep this phone for more than a month or two, I would pay. :good:
This is my first HTC phone since my DInc2, and all this S-OFF talk is gone from my memory
Will the root/custom recovery method listed here allow me to flash custom ROMs and mods without achieving S-OFF?

With temp root, I could debloat couldn't I?

Maybe, but only until you reboot if it worked at all, then you'd have to debloat again each time you reboot or whenever the battery runs out of juice.
Really your best bet, is keep it stock or use Sunshine and just get it S-off.
But me personally, trying to only go 1/4 of the way is more hassle then benefit.
If you could gain temp-root and at least unlock the bootloader for free on HtcDev, then I'd say yeah, go for it.
But you are stuck with a locked bootloader and S-on without Sunshine, no point really, IMHO.

So, even if I delete the apk or use Titanium to uninstall, bloat returns after reboot?!
What is this witchcraft?

Only other possible way would be a Java card which is much more expensive than$25. If u want S-off, gonna have to bite the bullet for sunshine.

I know this reply is very late, but the short answer is "NO!"
I use Titanium myself on a rooted S-ON M7, and I just froze all the bloatware. Works a charm.

You can easily remove the bloatware using a custom recovery file explorer like TWRP's embedded explorer or Aroma file manager. If you want to debloat when the phone is booted in the ROM, it must be done with a custom kernel installed on the phone or all changes will be reverted after a reboot. /system is write protected by the stock kernel hence why you either need a custom one or to do it in recovery since the kernel isn't booted at this point (custom recoveries use their own kernel).

Hi, is there still no free way to s-off HBOOT 1.61 on HTC One M7?
I searched google and everything that came up is like year old and saying to use Sunshine for $25. Can any one of you have any info on this topic? Or is this phone too old to be bothered?
