[Q] Unable to S-Off by firewater - am I tne only unhappy?

Hi, recently I have bought an M8, unlocked it's bootloader via HTCDev, installed latest TWRP, rooted it by flashing SuperSU zip, and while trying to S-Off, got message that it doesn't work on my phone yet, so no S-Off available.
May be I'm doing something wrong?
Here's some info:

Does anybody here with the same phone S-Off'ed it via firewater?

You're doing nothing wrong, your phone just isn't compatible at this time (and maybe never)...nothing you can do other than voice your concerns in this thread...

Did you ota before unlocking? I believe HTC patched the exploit with the latest update.

He's on 1.54.401.10 (the latest) so I'll assume so (or the person the OP bought it from did)

Thanks. Yes, I had installed some OTAs. They arrived too quickly, before I have read detailed S-off manuals.

Ota is not the issue ! I s-offed mine and was on 1.54.401.10.......that's a myth !

It won't show anything, it's a hardware change between M8 handsets and some work others won't. If yours doesn't work now, it won't work ever unless the firewater (or other devs) get it working...

I doubt it's hardware, if it's implemented in the first place it must be software especially seeing as s-off can be achieved on any device with a java card, apparently.

I'm only going on what was said in the firewater thread when it was first released. Apparently there's a check and if your phone gives a certain result it means your phone won't work...

I can post my "all info" but it won't be of any use ! It works or it doesn't......

Can anyone help regarding how to S-OFF this device !!
It will really be helpful.
Thanks in advance

If firewater doesn't work the only option is sunshine. No other way.

the only way for s-off is sunshine method, but it has a in-app purchase of $25...!!!

Yes and ? That's a fair price for s-off. The profit you gain for having it is well worth the money....
- lock the bootloader again
- flash recoveries from within the recovery or app. In other words no pc needed anymore
- return the phone back to stock 100% for warranty issues.
- down and upgrade the hboot anytime
- flash any firmware to convert the phone as it's unbranded if you have a branded one.
All nice examples.
And the choice to buy it or not is in the hands of the user. People should not complain that it cost a bit, be happy it's there. The firewater team also invested in the exploit, especially time and maybe also some bricked devices.
Cheers.

The Firewater team IS the Sunshine team
They were going to charge eventually, seeing as up til now it's been optional (and I'm gonna assume most didn't donate)

I know firewater made sunshine
What i meant to say was that a user can invest in their s-off, because firewater team also did that with making sunshine

Back to stock

Hi guys,
I consider myself an experienced flasher - though I've been away from the XDA scene for a good year. I need a stock ROM to flash to my HTC One M8. It's in Demo Mode and I can't remove it. I've just been made aware that RRU's are very hard to come across these days, as back in the day that was the easiest way to fix it.
Please could someone help me guide through this, I don't really want to root the handset.

As ridiculous as it sounds it's been a long time since I did this, could you send me a link to a thread that shows me how to get Fastboot set up? I really really appreciate it.

looks like their has been an update since the RUU so you won't be able to flash it without s-off

you'll have to unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP to use it

New to Android: How would I revert back to unrooted with all flags removed?

So I made the silly and utterly stupid mistake of rooting my HTC m8. I don't want to brick my phone, so if anybody can help me out that would be great.
I want to remove all red flags, and install the latest 5.0 OTA update.
I also cracked my screen a while ago, and I want to send it back to get it fixed.
I am S Off with 4.4.4 currently.
Once again, any help would be great.

First things first, can you post the output of fastboot getvar all, making sure not to post your IMEI and Serial Number (for security purposes). We can then go from there

I'm not sure, but I doubt they'll fix your screen for free... Unless you bought extra coverage? Not to mention if you unlocked on HTC site, your warranty is void anyway. Usually.
Just wanted to bring this up. ?

Oh, my point is, if they're going to charge you anyway... No point in returning to stock.

Ok, i tried to install VenonOne, it installed first time but my wifi didnt work, so i searched around and found out i needed to update my firmware, which needed S-off, which i cant becuase i dont have the money for sunshine. and problem after problem and following half arsed tutoials online solved nothing. i can only go to bootloader and recovery. not sure what to do,
i have twrp installed
Im a D*ck head and didnt make a backup becuae it 'looked easy enough'
any help would be great. would like to be using venomone but atm any os will do

Thanks guys

You probably realize it at this point; but my rule of thumb is always make a backup before flashing anything (or at a minimum, have a known good backup or known good ROM ready to flash). Its got nothing to do with how "easy" a process is. Things can go wrong even with the simplest mods, to the most knowledgeable users, and even if you do nothing wrong.
You don't need s-off to update your firmware.
Either run a Lollipop (or Marshmallow) RUU intended for your CID (relock bootloader in order to RUU). Keeping in mind that this will wipe the phone.
Alternately (such as if there is no RUU for your version), restore a stock ROM that corresponds to your current firmware, restore corresponding stock recovery. Then do OTA update, which will also update your firmware.
After updating the firmware by either of the 2 above methods, just flash TWRP back onto the phone (in case of the RUU method, you'll need to unlock the bootloader again, before you can flash TWRP) and flash your custom ROM of choice.
If you do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial numbers) we can offer some more specific assistance.

thanks for taking your time to help,

Though this is the 16GB model, I'm afraid I could mess up with partitions.

first to follow this tutorial you need to be s-off ( your device is s-on )
second this tutorial works only for some cdma devices not all ( your device is gsm it will not work )
so you can't do it at all

As ahmed indicated, this won't work.
Your best bet, is s-off ($25 by sunshine app is the only way to s-off) and flash radio firmware from the M8 version that supports the bands desired.
But even then, LTE support on your local carrier is not guaranteed (if that is what you are looking to do). So it may not be worth the $25, for something that won't even get the bands you want.
