Firewater is server based...if it's not on the server anymore it's not going to work.
The first thing Firewater does is look for updates.

It sucks, however...
So unless you were lucky to get S-OFF before they killed their servers, Sunshine and $25 is the only route to go.
On a good note, it is pretty much guaranteed to work. And let's say you decide to go back to stock and need to take security again, you can do it and they won't charge you again. (at least on that same device)

keep trying with different rom's and kernels, you will get there eventually, a lot of people recommend ARHD 36.?
I have tried with stock rom+elementx kernel(something like that), and with cm11, no luck

Hi,
You mean android revolution HD 36 ?
Where can I find it ?
I see only 31.6 and 71 on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023
I was trying to download that 31.6(Seanie maybe misspelled) and I couldn't download it because there were no mirrors :/
Any Luck?
I am running hboot 1.57 with viperone 6.2.1 and bulletproof-m7-14-2

I have disabled my firewall and installed Superuser & Busybox
The cable is good, battery is at 100%...

If you have exhausted the many combinations for firewater and you are receiving the whelps this sucks message then your another alternative is the paid S-OFF Sunshine.

Is that a guaranteed s-off? I wouldn't want to waste 25$
It isn't wasted. It does compatibility checks before it does anything. Most important thing is to have stock kernel for it to work

Try flashing a newer firmware?
[Guide] HTC ONE Hboot 1.57 Root S-Off Change CID Downgrade Hboot & OS
Search the above phrase on google. The first result should be from the site forums(dot)gsmhosting(com) with the title same as search.
I am a new user so I can't post external links.
I used that guide to achieve S-Off on my HTC One M7 UL with Hboot v. 1.57.
I had to run the final firewater commands several times before firewater launched finally. Enough tries to make me memorize those commands so I stopped copying and pasting them and instead actually typing them. But it worked for me.
I hope it helps.

Thank you but, I did achieve S-OFF already without downgrading and firewater using Sunshine. My problem now is not getting signal only Emergency Calls

Have you checked settings to see what network mode is checked? Check each one separately to see which one gives the best results. Auto generally works best! Did you have a GSM or CDMA phone?

How to get S-OFF?

Hey guys, so I have this device rooted. The problem is that I am unable to remove system apps to free up space due to not having S-OFF. I have tried to use Moonshine and Firewater so far. Moonshine does not support this device and Firewater failed. I am thinking of trying out Rum Runner. Can anyone suggest a possible way to get S-OFF? Thanks in advance.

This may be a dumb question but, is there a way to do it with adb and fastboot ?
try this .http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary . i been looking into it hardcore . im at work so i cant do this now. :laugh::laugh:
I tried Revolutionary and got
Code:
_rawadb_handle_msg: unknown command 48545541
Granted it's hboot 3.19, which is unsupported in favor of 1.06. Rummrunner, firewater, and moonshine all fail/unsupported and unrevoked is mia right now.

S-Off is still not working for our devices. I've tried different things again and again but there are kernels on the forum (I'm not sure which device you have), that will allow you to remove the write protection (VM/Sprint/Boost, Cricket). Sunshine, moonshine, revolutionary, and rumrunner don't support the device. Firewater is discontinued. Unrevoked doesn't work, kinda figured that. Haven't given AlphaRev a try because I couldn't get USB connection through VirtualBox. Just got that to work the other night so I will give that a go but given that the device has been released less than five months I really don't see it working. AlphaRev doesn't work.

Revolutionary (http://rev.alpharev.nl/) supports only Desire not Desire 510.
Sunshine should work (they confirm it does). at least for the Desire 510 CDMA 32 bit. It just is just not free $25

thanks bro it worked fine Sprint variant CDMA 32bit

HTC 0PCV1, is this the same as the 510 ?
Will Sunshine work on the 0PCV1 version as well ?
Once the S-OFF is set, does Link2SD work ?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] S-OFF on HBOOT 1.57

Hello
Basically I'm attempting to S-OFF my HTC One so I can flash on different stock firmware, namely the GPE firmware. Simply put I can't seem to find a straight answer on how to achieve S-OFF on my HBOOT version. I've tried both Firewater and Rumrunner with no success. I attempted both on CM11 and an un-official CM12 ROM with zero success, all I get are messages telling me to switch my phone off and start again.
What is the most successful method to achieve S-OFF on the given HBOOT? Should I be using another ROM perhaps?

Hi friend, my hboot is 1.57 and i have the latest firmware which is 6.09.401.11 .
For making s-off with ARHD +Bulletproof combination, do i have to downgrade my firmware or hboot or will it work directly ?
thanks

Well Firewater has been discontinued so that's of little use, any other known methods/combinations?
Discontinued yes but it still works for some people. If it doesn't then go sunshine. It will cost you $25 but it will do compatibility tests first to see if it works

Can't see how it can work as it relies on some remote content. Any attempt to use it is hanging on the very first steps of initialization.
Regarding Sunshine I find so shocking to read everyone advising to go for it. $25 to get 100% access to our phone, that is just so ridiculous. And even if it's guaranteed.

Well it depends on the urgency. Some need quick s-off to return device to stock for warranty, and that's cool I guess. Its worth it then. I on the other hand like some others need s-off to maybe convert to GPe to try out lollipop. However seeing as its only a matter of short time until its released for stock sense devices, the wait isnt bad at all...
Well it's currently easily the cheapest way to s off. You can take it to a shop that uses a java card and pay more. HTC like to lock their phones down good. Which for the average user is a good thing. Has lots of safeguards

If you find it so shocking then blame HTC, and other OEM's because is their fault that our devices are locked. This guy's found a vulnerability in these devices and with hard work, money invested and free time lost they put up this amazing tool that help us.
If you work for something and invest money and time in that then you would give it for free?
I say thanks to them because at least even if is paid EXISTS. They could renounce to develop S-off and then we won't have to blame them that they sell us freedom for our devices.

I am usually part of those who support devs for their good work by donating. But 25$ is for me way to much for supporting such a hack. I am not saying their work is not good, it looks quiet nice in fact. If they would make their first price around 5$ and still opened to donations it would be much more reasonable. But hey, that's just my opinion.
On a side note I totally agree with you on the HTC responsibility in that, they totally suck and I think it's the last time I go for their devices. This S-OFF thing is so much giving me the feeling I don't own the device I paid for... (not to mention I have a barely usable camera)
Yes, I agree. I would be happy to pay if it were something along the lines of $5-10, but $25 is a bit too much for myself.
Firewater doesn't work anymore for me either, makes sense given that it relies on some content stored on their servers.

you cant downgrade your HBOOT whilst s-on, so you need to get s-off first, the only way to s-off HBOOT 1.57 is to use sunshine and will cost $25. http://theroot.ninja/

yes as far as I know it works on 1.60, sunshine will check your phone first though before you pay so no need to worry, if it cant s-off your phone then you don't pay, if it can then you pay and it continues.

As close to stock as possible, Viper is too modded / customised, and dont get your hopes up, if rumrunner doesnt work, then sunshine is the only way.

nope, the developers charge you a very small price in my opinion due to the amount of phones they brought and destroyed creating sunshine, $25 is nothing to what it cost them to develop it.
