Trying to get S-OFF (HBoot 1.57) but I'm running GPE 4.4.4_KTU84P.H1. I've tried installing different ROMs but phone gets stuck on boot screen. Firewater tells me I need an unsecure kernel (tried teaMSeven & ElementalX, same thing), Rumrunner gets to (10) pouring, then I get the "pray, run rumrunner again" message.
I think maybe I should have got s-off before moving to 4.4.4. Do I return to stock then try with a different rom (CM, perhaps), or is there something else I can try first?

I need to restore my phone to a version of stock android (either an actual stock RUU or Android Revolution or whatever) so that I can get to the UICC option to turn off my SIM card (this setting is not available in CyanogenMod apparently).
Because I am on a newer firmware and because I am S-ON I do not seem to be able to install any of the (mostly older) RUUs I have found. Any suggestions? Is there an RUU for 4.06.651.9 that I am not seeing? Is there another way to roll back my OS to allow an older RUU to be installed? Another option altogether? A way to S-OFF while on CM?
Thanks for your help

you can use this then take the OTA updates
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_sprint_3-04-651-2-zip/
Is this the 3.04.651.2 RUU? If so, I already have a copy, and when I attempt to run the ARUwizard I get Error 155. Most likely I am doing something wrong. I just assumed that since I am already on 4.06.651.9 that the problem was I couldn't install the older 3.04.651.2 version. Thoughts?

This is exactly the same issue I'm experiencing. Well, now I'm even beyond this point... I am only able to boot the phone to the bootloader.
Edit: I am relocked as I am S-ON. I can't update firmware as the signature check fails. Flashing the 3.04.651.2 zip has a signature verify fail, as well.
Hope this helps

If you can still boot to bootloader your phone is fine. You should still have recovery (TWRP?) on your phone I assume. Regardless here are some steps that should help:
1. Figure out if you are S-ON (is found on the bootloader screen)
2. If you are S-ON, try Rumrunner to get S-OFF (just google it). This will allow you to install any RUU regardless of your firmware.
3. If Rumrunner doesn't work or you don't want to go to S-OFF then download the 4.06 RUU here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658910
The problem is your firmware is ahead of the corresponding firmware of the 3.X release. As such you have to install from the newer RUU.

Actually, it seems that the phone is wiped; I can't boot my recovery. As a result, I can't really get S-OFF. I'll try the 4.06 RUU, but would it make a difference that it's .4 and not .9?
EDIT: I'm talking out of my ass right now. Long day, and this isn't helping. I am figuring it out; unlocked the bootloader, and now things seem to be functional. Well, except CM doesn't seem to want to boot any longer, but that shouldn't matter for long.
EDIT 2: How can I get S-OFF without enabling debugging? As of right now, CM is just in a boot loop.
Sim Unlock Sprint HTC One Max
I almost cannot believe how many different ROMs I've tried to flash after wiping out my original ROM.
Bootloader unlocked and rooted I managaged to relock the bootloader while trying to fastboot flash a stock ROM, which also failed.
Beleive it or not, I've have found a couple that will boot up with my Sprint HTC One Max . I was able to re-unlock the bootloader, flash a new rom and even recover user data I had backed up to my PC via adb backup.
All this for not, as I still cannot find a Sense ROM that will flash on my device and allow me to unnlock the Sim via Sim Unlock Helper.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I recall reading somewhere that the Unlock Sim Helper should work on Sense 4.1.2 ROM. ????
Hello all. Bought my first HTC One (AT&T version, SIM unlocked) used on Craigslist and it's a bit of a puzzle.
It's got hboot 1.44, been htcdev bootloader unlocked, and was running CyanogenMod 11 from the Installer when I got it. It's still S-ON though, and for reasons relating to attempting to get warranty repairs, I'd like to get S-OFF, but haven't had any luck.
I can flash any recovery I like (currently CWM Touch 6.0.4.8 m7), and any rom that I've tried (so far only AOSP-based), but no s-off tool I've tried will work. I downgraded the phone to Cyanogen 10.1 (android 4.2) and tried revone, but it just reboots the phone when I try "revone -P". I've been too scared to just go ahead and try the "rev one -s 0" command.
Firewater and rumrunner won't work on this hboot. I have not tried moonshine yet.
I've read a lot of horror stories on the forums, and I don't want to brick this phone in trying to get s-off. I've heard that Android Revolution HD 31.6 works well with revone, but I've also been too scared to flash that incase I inadvertently update the hboot.
What is my best bet for gaining S-OFF?? I'm no newb to flashing and I am more than comfortable with a commandline, I just don't know what to flash.
Lastly, I need to go back to stock so I can send this phone in for warranty repair, but I don't want to lose S-OFF if I send it away. Is there a way to do this?
UPDATE: got it all sorted. flashed the maximusHD rom (android 4.2.2) from HERE and successfully seized S-OFF with revone. Going back to stock now.
Hey guys!!
I've been trying to s-off for a while now and no luck. I've tried firewater and rumrunner multiple times and no luck. I've tried using ElementalX and Bulletproof kernels with different ROMs. I've also tried downgrading to 4.3 and 4.2 ROMs but still the phone refuses to s-off. I have HBoot 1.56 so can't try moonshine or revone.
I have the black AT&T variant HTC One M7. I want s-off to be able to update my phone to newest firmware and am currently on ARHD 81.0.
What are my options?
Use SunShine, pay 25$, and then you will be s-off
I currently have my M7 unlocked and rooted, now fancy a try at getting s-off for my M7.
I am currently running the latest Insertcoin rom with the default kernel that comes with it. I've currently tried Rumrunner and Revone that come with the Tookkit from Squabbi but both fail. I am assuming this is because 1.57 is a tricky one to gain s-off.
Anyone had any luck with this verson and running Insertcoin?
Thank you.

With that hboot your best free chance of S-OFF is firewater. I don't know about that combination but you can search the thread and see if someone has made it. It seems each phone is different and what works for one doesn't work for another. If you get the "whelps this sucks..." message then you will need to use sunshine but it cost $25.
Ok, tried the Firewater method, first bottle chugs then I am informed my kernel contains an anti firewater patch. So, I googled around and it shows Elemental as being firewater friendly. I flashed this kernel, tried Firewater and I get the same results.
I am running the latest ARHD and obviously now the Elemental kernel.
Thanks.

use an older rom + bulletproof
you can also check here for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2632351
if you are already on firmware 6.xx, then most likely firewater will fail anyway (even without giving you the "whelp this sucks" message)
Older rom, as in perhaps a Jellybean rom? Sense or aosp?
Yep, on a 6.09 build number.
Thanks.
I tried many different ways to get s-off on HBoot 1.57. All failed.
Only option working is SunShine, which costs me USD$25.
But it is surely fast and effective.
Check your emmc chipset. If it begins with 9001, you won't be able to s-off without Sunshine - if it's any other you should be fine. I managed to s-off with OnePlus One CyanogenMod 11S rom.
Hello,
I recently rooted my M8 and have run into difficulties trying to run the GPE 5.0.1 ROM. I have TWRP installed and have no issues installing the GPE Rom itself, however, when I try to use WIFI the radio doesnt turn on and is unresponsive. Doing a little research I found it was due to my old firmware. So I tried to install the newest Firmware from the thread on M8 Android Dev, but when I try to use the RUU and the FUU, my phone is not recognized by the software. I tried to flash via HBOOT and it just asks me to reset my phone and doesn't do anything. Since I was S-ON I made sure I was using the full firmware for all of the methods, but it wouldn't work. So I tried to S-OFF my phone to see if that would help, but Firewater has been discontinued and I can't get Sunshine to run on my rom, so I am unable to S-OFF. I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to how I could get my phone S-OFF as well as to the new firmware.
Thank you.
You have to be running a stock rom when you use Sunshine
