I would but I don't have time to go back to the store tonight if it doesn't work.
Or will anything bad happen if it fails?

Why would you try a method to S-OFF intended for other devices with this one? It would be a nice starting point to screw up the device though :good:

To echo matt,
Bad idea. You can brick the device.

You need to unlock from htcdev first then use weaksauce.

Weak sauce is for temp root with out unlocking or flashing super su binaries. I didn't want to unlock and only s-off but now i'm unable to. You dont need htcdev for weak sauce but it only works on the Verizon m8.

Correct. Here is exactly what I did in order. Unlocked the bootloader first via HTC Dev. Installed custom recovery and perm root via the HTC Toolkit. Then followed instructions on the Firewater link. Have S-Off, TWRP and Root now.

Did you lose the preload apps from /data/preload ?
I want to get a backup of those before I HTC Dev unlock if possible. I'm looking at the libs in system to see if I can find another one that would work for weaksauce. (I.E. it is just renamed and has the same exports)

This I can't confirm. What applications should be there? I will check.

If it's empty you lost them. I don't know their names, because without root, I can't get a directory listing.

Good to know, anyone else have success getting soff?

Can't find anything that has an export for: "CopyFileCtl" which means no weaksauce on this phone. It looks like HTC Dev Unlock works fine, and so does the firewater s-off but you can't do it without flashing a recovery yet.

I can confirm S-Off on my T-Mobile HTC One M8 using the same method Brotha Noompsey used.

Can you confirm if /data/preload is empty after the htc unlock?

Barking up the wrong tree with the library. The same vulnerability exists (from what I have seen) but needs to be exploited in a different route than how the current version of weaksauce is doing it. I didn't build it for compatibility, i built it for easy of testing, as I do not have the device myself.
Dump system, upload it somewhere for me, no promises as I normally don't like to do roots for unlockable phones, but I am interested in finishing the exploit (the one I released is not "finished", as I didn't have the device when I wrote it, just the firmware).

you have to try it to know. as far as i heard 4.4.4 is not always possible to s-off using firewater.
it also depends on your cid.

Okay, I will try. Tomorrow I will get my M8 back from the repair company.

Firewater don't work, it's only Sunshine that can get you S-Off.

you didnt do anything wrong. right now theres no public way to get s-off. the guy above bought a very expensive java card to achieve s-off. a app called sunshine should be able to get us s-off in January with its version 3.0

Oh ok thanks

This is my first HTC phone, so I'm just wondering, what is S-OFF or S-ON? And why is it in place?

its a extra security measure HTC phones have. the biggest issue with s-on is flashing kernels. with s-on you have to manually flash them using fastboot commands. With s-off you can do other things like flash firmware from other regions or run RRU's from other countrys as well, it would help with sim unlock and changing your model id.

Hi
Just got a java card. I'm wondering if you can help me with the diag file, or which one to use.
Thanks a million

I just used Sunshine 3.0.6 and successfully S-Offed my Desire Eye.

How did you get S-off? When I run sunshine I get this error: Sunshine cannot function on devices which are set to debuggable ramdisk/kernel (boot.img). please help!

I had to flash the stock boot.img since I was using a custom kernel to disable write protection.
