how to s off htc one m8 4.4.4 xda
thanks people
i wanna change my phone to google play edition btw
search firewater and sunshine. given you're on 4.4.4 firewater would be less likely to work so sunshine would be your only option
Better chance with Sunshine
And sunshine might not work unless its a gpe m8
I thought sunshine only worked with sense roms and not gpe. I s off my 4.4.4 sense device with sunshine last week.

How did your achieve that? Did you unlock the boot loader with HTC dev first? It won't work on my T-Mobile US version on 4.4.4. Thanks

Yes, i unlocked my bootloader via htcdev, as it needs root to work

Did you have custom recovery installed or did you have stock recovery?

for sunshine it doesn't matter, as it does not use recovery, all you have to do is install the apk, run it, let it do tests, and if it asks you to pay, your good to go.

I have and HTC One Verizon running android 4.3. It has a locked bootloader and S-On..
I tried to S-off using rumrunner but I get stuck on this error - "ERROR: looks like device is not rooted AND lacks an unsecure kernel. su or FU!!"
What do I need to do so it won't happen??
Thanks!!!!

Rumrunner won't work with 4.3. You must be on 4.2.2. Shouldn't be long before there's a method for 4.3. Just not yet.

Alright. Thank you!
Are there any other ways to root or S-Off with 4.3? In the same boat here and it's annoying...

Works for all models. Just got root/S-OFF my VZW One the other day with no problems.
It works, I'm on 4.3 hboot 1.55. Firewater unlocked bootloader and s-off.

I can't believe it!!!! IT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
S-off worked very well, thanks. Now if I could just undo the damage from trying a custom ROM.

Silly question. Once I use firewater and achieve S-OFF, what next? just install SuperSU from the play store to have root access? Also, do you lose data with Firewater? On 2.10.605.1.
Thanks.
No data loss, but you have to flash cwm or tarp and install superuser from there. At least I think, I'm kinda new at this too.

I believe after you gain S-off you have to install a custom recovery. Then you'll have to flash a ROM with SU in it.
Hey guys I plan on staying on stock Rom for a while but I need busy box installed. There are apps that do it, but whenever I try to install it my device just reboots. I'm stock rooted with unlocked boot loader as of right now and unable ble to achieve s-off in case that helps. New to HTC so any help would be appreciated.

You need to make your system writable

Would you be able to guide me on how to do that? Thought I had already done that but guess not :/
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Im pretty sure you need to turn s-on to s-off. There are many threads on here how to do that. I think you need to root it too
Not trying to hijack this thread but I've always wonder what is busybox for?

Guess I'm out of luck. Tried to use the s off method but it said it wouldn't work on my device
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Doesn't work my device too.
If you have unlocked bootloader you can try to flash or use a module or hacked/custom kernel which can turn system from read only to write...flar made this module/kernel...so read the thread and maybe give it a try...

I did everything right and now I'm stuck with Rooted and Unlocked Bootloader but I can't turn S off I want to install customs ROMs. Ugh. I do the Firewater method. It works fine up until last step a ns tell me sorry you will never be able to unlock me

As far as I'm aware, not everyone's M8 has had success with S-Off, yet. I'm sorry to say, you may be one of the unlucky ones for now. Hopefully something comes along that will work for everyone.
I would just add that you don't need s-off to use custom Rom. Just go and flash away.?

Yep much better than the crap we put up with on the One S.
Dear all,
Is it possible to receive OTA Update if we are living out of USA? I'm living in Brazil and currently 4.4.2 with sense 5.5 and I'd to uptade to sense 6.0.
Here we have only GSM net, any possibility for using CDMA or a Verizon net, I'm using my HTC ONE Verizon in global mode (GSM)
Could someone help me on this or give any tip?
Verizon HTC One
Rom/Stock 4.4.2 - Sense 5.5:
Bootloader Locked
Cannot get the update without being on Verizon network.
