For some reason when I get to the command "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater" it's telling me "operation not permitted". Strange cause adb shell has superuser permissions...gonna try on my desktop pc.

I had that too.. check your phone's screen and accept the root request.

I can also confirm it works. I used the HTCDev Unlocked/Rooted method and am now S-Off.

Wow I am S-Off. That was quick and easy. Only complication was having to download an app (USBDebug) from the play store in order to enable usb debugging mode.

Settings/About/Software Information/More/ tap Build number 7 times. Adds Developer options. back to Settings just above Activate this device. Enables USB Debugging there.

Another confirmed success! :GOOD:

last line tells me you are not in the adb shell anymore. since thats a response from windows are you sure you are not getting kicked out of adb shell.

your case IMO seems to be the system write protection.
Why don't you use the wp_mod.ko from flare.
this is the guide someone wrote on the htc m8 dev forum just to clarify
first reboot to recovery and mount system go to the file manager and you should've downloaded the module from the htc m8 forum here on xda.
copy the module to system/lib/modules and chmod 644
reboot
open up terminal and type su
then
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
to verify that is loaded type lsmod and see if is loaded.
last thing go to system/etc/ and find the file init.installrecovery.sh and add
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
to the end of the file save and exit and reboot.
now when you reboot and you open terminal and type lsmod the wp_mod should be loaded and it should say permanent.
now try fire and water again.

Thank you @chemjb it wasn't even that complicated. I guess something went wrong when I flashed the supersu zip the first time. I flashed again and this time it took. Worked first try after that. S-Off and ready to roll.

"[TUT]Rooting,Custom boot.img & recovery.img for newbies

Firstly i did not do this guide. it took it from this forum and just compile so that newbie like me can easily root their tattoo.....
ROOTING TATTOO
Download the ZIP file attached to this post. Extract the files to a safe location - perhaps C:\Tattoo ?
Now, you'll need adb for windows. You can get it from COBURN website's server here: ADB for windows.
Make sure your device is in USB Debug Mode (Settings > Applications > Development).
Extract all the files in the adb4win zip file to your C:\Tattoo folder.
Now, go to Command Prompt. In XP, it's under System Tools in Accessories. In Vista/7, it'll be under accessories.
Do the following at the command line:
C:\Users\Coburn> cd C:\Tattoo
Then you will get this C:\Tattoo
Next type in this:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell "mkdir /data/local/bin" (with the quotes!).
If you get a error (like mkdir failed, file/folder exists), this is fine!
just means that the folder already exists in your phone
Now, run this command:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows push m7 /data/local/bin/m7
this will just take a few seconds
Run this:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell "cd /data/local/bin && chmod 755 ./m7" (with the quotes!)
This allows you to run the sucker. Looks like something nothing happen but it did something.
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell
This will dump you at a "$" shell. do the following:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell
$ cd /data/local/bin
$ while ./m7 ; do : ; done
...lotsa text will flow down your screen. This is normal.
Soon, you'll be greeted with this:
#
This is the root prompt! If you get stuff like this:
# usage: reboot ...
usage: reboot ....
usage: reboot ...
Just keep your cool, press enter and the # will pop again. This is due the exploit spawning reboots to gain the shell.
Next type in this:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/system/lib
export PATH=/system/bin
Check if u have root, type:
id
you will get
# id
uid=0(root) gid=1000(shell) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet)
The uid=0(root) is important, so call your phone is root.
REMOUNT PARTITION (SU)
Now you need to install su. Exit your root shell (via CTRL+C) and download this su.zip and extract it to C:\Tattoo.
DO NOT EXIT THE COMMAND PROMPT WINDOW.
in your command prompt window, do this:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows push su /data/local/bin/su
Then break out a shell...
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell
at the $ prompt, enter:
$ chmod 755 /data/local/bin/su
$ cd /data/local/bin/
$ while 'true' ; do ./m7 ; done
It will change from $ to #
Type in this:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/system/lib
export PATH=/system/bin
Next type in this:
# chown root.root /data/local/bin/su
# chmod 4755 /data/local/bin/su
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
After that, you can exit out of the root shell, and try a normal shell and this:
$ /data/local/bin/su
...which should make you get a nice # prompt.

S-Off Problem

Hi guys......
I have Butterfly s 901e with HBOOT 1.57, when I tried to s-off with firewater, I didn't get anything while in the process..... when I made the last step ([email protected]:/ # chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater then [email protected]:/ # /data/local/tmp/firewater), I got nothing.... I tried to check data/local/tmp manually in ES File Explorer to see what is going on, I noticed that after pushing firewater through adb it will appear in the TMP folder and after executing [email protected]:/ # chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater then [email protected]:/ # /data/local/tmp/firewater the firewater file just disappear from TMP folder, and nothing is starting....
please help.

Did you do "adb reboot, then adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp" before the other commands?

Also, if you did any updates with your OTA, this will not work!
I used Sunshine, and paid the $25 to have them help me, it was the best 5 mins of my life!
After you get frustrated and try Firewater a few dozen times... head over to theroot.ninja and pay the $25 dollars... TOTALLY WORTH IT!!

I fought and fought with adb, rooting, and s-off and Im well versed in adb etc. Just do yourself a favor, pay the $25 fee and go with sunshine. Its expensive but will save you so much headache

I had no problem dropping the 25 bones for the S off. Those guys work hard and I was having a headache trying firewater which wouldn't work for me. It's easy and imo the $25 was worth it.
At&t user here saying "just do it"
You will sleep better after spending $25 and easily gain S-OFF

I've read that somewhere else too.
But I thought it should be still working.
is there any other method then sunshine ? Because currently I can't buy it now.
And I don't want to wait...
Why should there be only one option ( sunshine) to take s off ?
Is it that hard to code a working programm ?

No disrespect mate but it looks like you underestimate the amount of work, time and knowledge needed to:
find a security hole and how to exploit it so you can grant s-off
do it again everytime HTC updates their firmware to patch these security holes
code everything so the average user can achieve s-off using an automated program
maintain everything (program, servers, website)
This have nothing to do with C# programming you can learn at high school to make your own calculator
So to answer your question, Yes its probably hard to do

My Hboot is 3.19.0.0000 <- is it old ?

Amazon Fire 5th Gen 2015 Root[only hd 7 and os 5.0.1]

NOTE THIS ROOT ONLY WORKS WITH FIRE OS 5.0.1 AND ONLY THE HD 7 NOT THE 10 OR 8
WE HAVE GAINED ROOT!!!
Thanks to @jkchr1s for the help and the windows bat file, @csolanol for actually finding the root, and @diegocr as well as the @Chainfire SuperSu for the root binaries!!
Heres a video for you guys who need help:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux-2b3X3BlI&feature=youtu.be
Just download the zip file from this link and remember to use a windows/linux device for now.
Mediafire Mirror #1
For windows hit install.bat and follow trough the steps
For Linux run it through the linux command prompt
2nd way to root:
1. Download supers from chain fires website https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/
2. Download @ggow custom recovery or @cnsoal Twrp
http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/orig-development/twrp-recovery-t3242548
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ama...ecovery-cyanogen-recovery-2015-11-04-t3240726
3. Place the recovery image in the same folder as adb and fastboot.
4. Put your fire in fastboot mode
5. Boot into the custom recovery via "fastboot boot <recoverimsgename>.img.
6. You should be in the cynogen recovery (Or twrp depending on which recovery you downloaded_
7. Then pick adb sideload, and select it and manually install drivers. If you're too lazy just place su in your SD card and flash the zip from there.
8. Adb sideload supersu and you'll get root!!
REMEMBER WE ARE NOT LIABLE IF YOUR TABLET IS BRICKED!!!
I have also left the boot.img tool as well as the modified versions of the boot.img files just incase if anyone else wants to probably dig deeper and explore more about the boot.img file
Have you tried adding the su binary to /sbin in the ramdisk, and editing default.prop to ro.secure=0?
just adding it to /sbin wont solve this. you would have to add all the selinux info for it also and then also manage to start the su daemon.
ro.secure=0 is already inside the attached boot.img above, doesn't seem to help
If we have r/w to the filesystem, take a look at the root script in this LG package: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
Do you think this method would work?

I don't mean to run the root.bat file, look at the root script. It copies SuperSU binaries, adds a su service, and chcon's the necessary files.

Yeah, but we are going to have to change the device specific stuff (if it matters for our device).
I have updated the thread!! Thanks @jkchr1s for the clear steps and @diegocr for helping out and giving us r/w ability.
This will work for rooting this device now.
Someone is root .............

I adapted the guide and u know what?. I am root!!!
Did all the steps by hand and SuperSu is working, i can make su in adb shell.
I can't write a guide right now, i have to go out of the house but this is done guys.

Sorry, I'm not seeing a guide or tutorial on that link. That's a link to KingRoot.
Just for those of you that wanna root it just now:
Files needed and a boot.img to apply with fastboot boot boot.img:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/nurzm8q3pqx2v4z/root_fire.zip?dl=0
Unzip the attachment and push the files directory contents to /data/loca/tmp using adb
Example: adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/
adb push su /data/local/tmp/
...
and then do the follwing in adb shell:
mkdir /system/app/SuperSU
chmod 0755 /system/app/SuperSU
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/app/SuperSU
cp /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk /system/app/SuperSU/SuperSU.apk
chmod 0644 /system/app/SuperSU/SuperSU.apk
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/app/SuperSU/SuperSU.apk
mkdir /system/bin/.ext
chmod 0755 /system/bin/.ext
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/bin/.ext
cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin/su
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/su
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/xbin/su
cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/bin/.ext/.su
chmod 0755 /system/bin/.ext/.su
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/bin/.ext/.su
cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin/daemonsu
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/daemonsu
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/xbin/daemonsu
cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin/sugote
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/sugote
chcon ubject_r:zygote_exec:s0 /system/xbin/sugote
cp /data/local/tmp/supolicy /system/xbin/supolicy
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/supolicy
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/xbin/supolicy
cp /data/local/tmp/libsupol.so /system/lib/libsupol.so
chmod 0644 /system/lib/libsupol.so
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/lib/libsupol.so
cp /system/bin/sh /system/xbin/sugote-mksh
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/sugote-mksh
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/xbin/sugote-mksh
cp /system/bin/app_process32 /system/bin/app_process32_original
chmod 0755 /system/bin/app_process32_original
chcon ubject_r:zygote_exec:s0 /system/bin/app_process32_original
cp /system/bin/app_process32 /system/bin/app_process_init
chmod 0755 /system/bin/app_process_init
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/bin/app_process_init
rm /system/bin/app_process
rm /system/bin/app_process32
ln -s /system/xbin/daemonsu /system/bin/app_process
ln -s /system/xbin/daemonsu /system/bin/app_process32
touch /system/etc/.installed_su_daemon
chmod 0644 /system/etc/.installed_su_daemon
chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 /system/etc/.installed_su_daemon
Once all is done you need to fastboot boot boot.img again to establish proper perms to the new files. Actually we can't change ownership of files to root from adb.
Run this command in adb shell:
/system/xbin/su --install
Then reboot and voila! you are root.

Yup, i edited the post to delete that line. That ownership change will be applied when you reboot from fastboot with the custom boot.img again. Note the end of the post.
