If Firewater doesn't work your only option is Sunshine.

After my HD2 got a hardware problem I changed to HTC One M7 international with H-BOOT 1.55 and OS- 3.62.401.1
Unlocking was easy but I failed with almost all how to's to S-OFF. Until I found the Firewater method.

This one worked for me. In case someone still has the same problem. It cost me too many tries to find this solution... Maybe this helps.

as for now this is the best method to get S-OFF
hello dear friends, maybe someone can lead me in the right direction here. I have a sprint Htc One m8 Harman Kardon with badboyz 4.4.2 rom installed. I have tried rumrunner S-off and Firewater S-off to no avail. I then read about Sunshine S-off and was ok with parting with $25- to have my phone unlocked but when I run the compatibility test in sunshine it says that my htc isnt supported! My htc M8 currently has the BadBoyz rom in it, I dont have a nandroid backup to get back to s tock and i havent been able to find a stock rom that i can flash in TWRP. I have only found RUUs, but to use RUUs you have to have s-off so I really dont know what else to try at this point.... any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
RUU's do not require s-off.

sorry about that....could you please tell me which is the right RUU to use in my case then? thanks!
I had some similar issues in the past, try flashing thoughtlesskyle's stock rom. It may show compatability then. Hope this helps.
U need to be running a stock Rom.

Thanks for your help, after flashing a stick Rom sunshine worked just fine and I'm now unlocked

I actually had to do the Sunshine Option today in order to get the same phone to an S-Off status. The process is pretty simple. You will need to have root access. Download the apk from http://theroot.ninja/ Install it, then run through it. You can pay via paypal via the app.
I just got a previously used rooted M8 and tried the firewater method several times but it didn't work. I installed Sunshine and was s-off in about 5 minutes. Well worth the $25.

I have been trying too and also get the incompatible message. I don't have the hk addition and am running badboys 1.5. Trying to s-off so I can update my firmware. Do you have to be on a specific rom to use sunshine???
You need to be running a relatively stock ROM with the stock kernel for Sunshine to work:thumbup:
Hi everyone, I need help unlocking the bootloader or someway to s-off the phone since verizon blocked the unlocking bootloader for m7 and m8. I tried running rumrunner 1.10.605.10 which is the software number I have on the htc one. I'm coming from the htc one mini but this verizon htc one m7 is so complicated. Thank you all and have a great day.

I'm not positive but i remember something about weaksauce and/or Temp root .. maybe someone else knows the way it's done
Rumrunner should work on that hboot
Did you look here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one/general
hi,
i bought an HTC One M7 (Sprint)
HBoot 1.57.000
radio-1.01.20.0904_2
android 4.3 sprint rom
I managed to unlock bootloader, root the device, but cant S-Off with any of the methods, Can some one tell me if there's a method that worked for them or let me know which method to try ?
Thanks
You've tried RumRunner?
If so the only other option is Sunshine.
I've been down that path with 1.57 and Sunshine is your only choice.
I used RumRunner way back when, but haven't needed S-Off since mid 2013 (seems like such a long time ago, haha!) so it's easy to say I'm out of the loop with S-Off providers.
Sunshine seems to be the best option, seeing as RumRunner doesn't directly support Sprint anymore.

RumRunner will work if you have an older hboot
