Let me start off with I think I got lucky. Try this at your own risk. I locked my bootloader and turned my security back on for a TMOUS warranty exchange for the dreaded purple tint in camera. I received my replacement only to find out that in fluorescent lighting the replacement HTC ONE M7 had a greenish tint but only under fluorescent lighting. So I am getting another replacement sent for free. This is where my troubles begin. I decided to unlock my bootloader for my original phone again and root it so I can set everything up again for daily use. I got through all those steps fairly easy. FYI: original phone is on newest TMOUS OTA_M7_UL_K44_SENSE60_MR_TMOUS_5.14.531.1_R-4.19.531.10_release_373019xng22l97gj5szmwv. I then relocked the phone and tried to flash RUU Zip M7_UL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_TMOUS_3.24.531.3_Radio_4A.21.3263.03_10.38m.1157.04_release_336982_signed_2_decrypted.zip in order to achieve s-off again but to no success. Hboot 1.57.000 with S-ON wasn't having any of it I guess.
I unlocked bootloader and relocked bootloader several times trying several different methods to no success. Oh, my recovery was TWRP 2.7.0.0. At some point I realized that if I was going to return this phone I needed to get s-off again to remove tampered flag and actually lock phone instead of relock. I happened to come across a stock rom that I decided to install in hopes of accomplishing S-off. Stock 3.24.531.3 T-Mobile.zip was the rom. Long story. I know. So here is what I did;
Unlocked bootloader
Flashed TWRP and gained root using WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit
Installed Stock 3.24.531.3 T-Mobile.zip ROM via TWRP
Phone would not fully boot past HTC ONE Animation screen
powered down and powered back on into bootloader
relocked bootloader and rebooted bootloader
unlocked bootloader again
Phone now booted completely into the stock rom I flashed
Proceeded to use firewater for S-off
Didn't work first time
Powered down phone by holding power button and rebooted normally
Tried firewater again and to my luck the SOB worked and I am S-Off again on newest HTC One TMOUS with an older Stock 3.24.531.3 T-Mobile rom
I'm sorry if I have no links to anything I mentioned but I am new to this so I don't really know how to link to other stuff I found on the site. Thanks to all the great people whose tools and rom I used to achieve S-off again.
Prior to doing those steps firewater would not get past the first chugging stage.
If you got the chugging message you were always going to be able to s off it. Firewater isn't worried about the hboot so much as the version of your cpu as to whether the exploit will work on it
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It would get to the chugging and sit there for bit then kick the phone back to root command. It didn't matter how many times I tried it would always do the same thing at the same spot. I would then have to reboot the phone and try again but no success. I'm just sharing what I did and worked for me. Clearly the exploit didn't want to work before I did the steps I took. I wouldn't have spent almost 30 hours of reading and trying to fix the problem I caused otherwise. Maybe it was a fluke or dumb luck. I don't know.
Where can I find this stock rom?
Nevermind this did not work.
Hi guys
I own a HTC One m7_u and I am running stock firmware, rooted and bootloader unlocked. Hboot 1.57
From past few days i have been trying to install a custom rom using TWRP but it always failed, i have tried Paranoid mod then Pacman mod but always failed, i have even softbricked my phone and was unable to connect to PC but luckily find that i can restore to stock firmware.
I am also unable to install Busybox i dont know why
Then i searched web for possible answers and find that i need to S-Off my device then i tried rumrunner , it doesnt work after that i tried firewater and i gives me the Whelp message
Then i found a post which says to do S Off using firewater and install CM11 and some kernel BLA BLA BLA
then i tried flashing CM11 but no luck It wasnt installing .. Now i am tired but i want Custom Rom so badly
So plz advice me the possible solutions
I cant find any solution on the Internet thats why i opened this thread
If you want S-off and Firewater gives you the "whelp this sucks" message then the only solution is to use SunShine http://theroot.ninja/ but this will cost you 25$.
I have a Problem to claim S off Status,
I have tried with Cm11 nightlys and snapshots
And with insertcoin and arhd too
With Sense Roms i have the Problem, my phone is rebooting without any
Commands from me or the PC, random reboots.....
Tried other s off methods too, rumrunner and firewater
All this failed, i have s on Status
My bootloader is 1.57
Twrp is installed
Bootloader is unlocked
But IMEI and Baseband Version says: Unknown

Firewater is discontinued and will not work, rumrunner isn't for hboot1.57.
Sunshine is the only method available for 1.57
Hello, i have the Problem and Smilex posted for me.
The thing is, that sunshine makes some checks wether it is possible or not.
But alll sense-roms are crashing after teo minutes. So i cant usw sunshine. Only if i flash cm it doesnt crash. But i think it crashes because of the unknown imei und baseband.
So i ask wether anybody know a rom which is not as near to sense as Android HD Revolution and the others but use a kernel which is sunshine possible and dont let my phone reboot each two minutes...
ok, nobody can help me. bye htc one.

If youre trying to s-off with sunshine,you need a completely stock rom.i had a near stock rom & because the ramdisk was debuggable in boot.img,sunshine failed.i went back to 4.3 stock that i had a nandroid backup for.i would suggest using an RUU to get back to stock,if youre s on it shouldnt matter and i can confirm that the hboot for 4.3(1.57.xxxx) is compatabile with sunshine,because thats the hboot i had.
EDIT:my bad,i just found out you cannot use an RUU with an s-on device.im gunna see if i can find a zip without needing the use of an RUU.
Edit2: heres a link to an htc guru stock package for the m7.
You can flash this through fastboot,NOT recovery.
If you need commands or are unsure what to do,post back

Wow talk about mis information this is totally Wrong. A guru reset is always flashed with TWRP (2.6.3.3 Preferred)
And it's not really what he needs anyway it's too old
If your software is indeed x.xx.401 try this one >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358543706
thank you for chiming in.ive been out of the HTC device game for awhile.i appreciate the correction.
Hello all, I rooted my m7 a few weeks ago. For whatever reason I lost my backup after installing cm12. Now CM 12 is all I can get to work. Sense roms either reboot randomly every min or so (never made it through setup) or bootloop, or won't activate with sprint HFA. I want to ruu, but I've read I need to relock the boot loader and everything I've seen to do that requires s-off.
What do I need to do to get back?
1.61 hboot
Rooted
Unlocked/tampered
S-on
Also, why can't I get any sense rom to run?
cant get s-off with sunshine (what i have been told i need for my hboot vers) while im stuck in cm12...help plzzz

You don't need to be s-off to re-lock or RUU and you must be on a stock rom for Sunshine to work.

Is there an exploit for Butterfly S Running on HBOOT 1.57? Been looking around it seems not possible.

Not that i know of ... unfortunately! Also I tried rumrunner (universal 0.5) several times on win7 and the linux version as well, even several times, but no chance of a positive outcome :crying: ... and the previous firewater method doesn't even start at all on my 901s (came with 4.4.2 and HBOOT 1.57 preinstalled). the firewater temproot also didn't work. so I decided to go the official HTCDEV-unlock root, which worked fortunately.
My 901s is now only bootloader unlocked, but S-ON ... TWRP 2.7.0.4k ... running MaximusHD 13.0.1 with Sense6Toolbox (via Xposed). Boot-Images flash fine via TWRP even though i'm S-ON.

Here it is just a story from me. Not mean the solution all of the phone.
I've tried to do S-Off Hboot1.57. With rumrunner. It seems that it will succeed. However, it remains at S-On. I have tried several times, but it's still the same. I try to do with the Sunshine result that was successful but my machine is still in the S-On. After that, I have asked for help from Sunshine to solve problems.
He asked me if I have S-Off before.
All these problems on my phone, it is still the S-On. Either I should be S-Off. But because I have a problem mmcblk0p20. Resolve problems mmcblk0p20 Then restart the phone And I see a message S-Off.
It seems to success in the S-Off made rumrunner. and the success from the sunshine again, but still seen as S-on. Because I have a problem mmcblk0p20
