Problem reading? It clearly states that it's patched i.e You won't get S-OFF with Firewater, period.
Try Sunshine S-OFF $25 but it'll tell you if it'll work or not before you pay.

Yep SunShine is your only option ...I only recommend it if you have to have it to return the phone for service.
lots of people want s-off that have no need for it at all

Firewater won't work, sure them lads who created Firewater also come up with SunShine - which is paid 20€ per one unlocked device. So it is very simple that free stuff won't work now, so You have to go for SunShine if You wish so - but in many cases it is too late to go back.

I was in the same position with my new M8, but I can safely say the Sunshine works great. $25 is a bit to drop for something like this, but it's incredibly easy to use and now my phone is right where I want it.

Sunshine and sleep good when finished

I believe unrevoked can root any veraion, but not 100% sure. Did you take a look at theot wiki page withthe info?
I do not know the answer as well. Move this thread to the question and answer section for the evo and you may get an answer.

If you have nothing nice to say or knowledgeable info for the OP then shut your face
Greetings,
I also have a supersonic. I spent quite some time reading all the related threads, and
the info provided on Unrevoked's wiki(s). There have been several posts indicating that
It does work on the latest OTA (YMMV). I haven't (yet) fetched the latest OTA, but I did
root mine with Unrevoked 3.21, and I was using the most recent version
just prior to the latest OTA. I am happy to report, it couldn't have possibly been
easier, and everything still works as well, as it did prior. In fact, I'd say it works better,
as I now have some better boot/recovery options not previously available.
I might also note, there were several posts confirming that applying the latest
OTA after rooting with Unrevoked 3.21 were all successful.

You [and all cdma variants (like me even)] will have to wait for kernel development as alquez states in his OP of that thread.
or
Restore your nandroid backup of stock (easiest fix).

Hope it comes soon...I forgot to make a backup before i went to cm7....however I do have a second Wildfire S thats rooted but for some reason i cant get into recovery to back up that ROM....it gets stuck on the white HTC screen....any ideas?
ideas
Can you boot to hboot [on second phone]? If not you are either semi-bricked or bricked. Still assuming you cannot get into hboot, go download the htc sync drivers, set up your environment [Google has a guide that walks you through it], then with the phone connected to your computer [and on] type "adb devices" If you get a return that looks like a short serial, it can be fixed... If no devices found... well, it will take someone smarter than me If you can boot to hboot, it can be fixed no problemo... Hit me back with results [via pm] I can't follow every thread I respond to.
Regards,
Rob
PS it sounds like the 2nd phone has had either a bad recovery or wrong boot.img flashed to it w/o knowing more

I just bought one from this eBay seller from HK for the missus and it's also S-OFF. I unlocked bootloader, upgraded HBOOT to latest version using the RUU and flashed the latest PA ROM.
There's a thread here, but development seems to have been halted a long time ago. Looks like nobody cares anymore I'm also willing to provide any required information on my device.

There really isn't. If firewater doesn't work then you either opt to pay $25 for sunshine or stay s-on forever.
Look at the bright side. At least you have options. With my One X i was stuck with s-on forever

Nothing, just redo it again. I had to do it over and over again like 7times or so before it finally took and launched like it was supposed to.
Good luck though, I don't think it'll work even if it launches. Can always try Sunshine S-OFF...
Okay... I managed to get S-OFF when I got my m8 about 3 mths ago. I read somewhere within the m8 forum that if you copy file of at least 2gig in size (or thereabouts) & paste it into your sd card when the first chug commences. This worked for me. So now I have an Int'l m8 - supercid - changed mid - viper w/ latest elemental-x kernel. It did come with a hard or soft brick warning. I have no doubt that the firewater script had been updated since I achieved this. Also depends on variant, baseband & a few other thingys. So have a search for this method to see if it is still current. Alternatively there is the Sunshine method.

Actually the developer beaups warned against copying a file like that, it can brick the device. Actual updates to Firewater as of lately? Not sure if they did. The same developers that did Firewater is doing Sunshine S-OFF.
