I heard sunshine is the only way? I cant use firewater?
Firewater has been discontinued due to lack of donations to keep the site running. If you are 4.x and up, you need sunshine to unlock and s-off.

So I've recently S-On my M8 for personal purposes, works fine, but I want to S-Off again with firewater but it says it won't work (any amount of reflashing, reruuing.. won't work). Is there any way out?
Sunshine root at http://theroot.ninja/ -- but it's not free. (Worth the money, though!)
did you by any chance take an OTA update after going back to S-ON? if you did you most likely updated your firmware to one that's NOT firewater compatible. and therefore have no choice but to use the option tublah mentioned above - sunshine.
Normally if the phone was already s-offed even an ota couldn't patch it and make it s-on again...
Hi, im currently Rooted running ARHD 8.1.
However, i have trouble updating my software to ARHD 10.1 (to Android 4.4.3) because i lacked S-Off.
So i found a way to S-Off on which is to use firewater however it didn't work.
Is there something wrong with my ONE M8?
Is it just not supported?
Are there anyother way i could get it to S-Off?
Thank you!!!
You're either not following the steps exactly or device is not compatible with firewater. You can however still S-off with sunshine. I'm mobile otherwise I would link you to it.
firewater will not work on your device
use SunShine s-off , it will cost you 25$
Any pay solution for S-Off HBoot 3.19? Any update on SunShine 3.0
HTC__622
System: 4.4.4
Many Thanks!
Javacard is currently your only option however do note that it costs quite a lot of money to get one in hand.
Besides that, no, there are no other ways for you to get your phone S-Off, SunShine 3.0 is do to come out after holidays, God knows when exactly, it may even get delayed, who knows.

i am new to htc device and is rumrunner s-off method safe for m8?i dont want to use sunshine s-off
Rumrunner does not work. If you dont want to use sunshine than you won't achieve s-off.
Hey Guys,
On Cyanogen's website it is written that I should have S-OFF on my M8 in order to install their ROM, so it really necessary to have S-OFF?Did any of you guys try to flash one of their Roms having S-OFF?
I can't turn S-OFF because I can't download the firewater exploit file..
Thanks in regards.
You shouldn't need to be S-off just to install an alternate ROM. You do need to have an unlocked bootloader, which Sunshine does as part of its S-off task. However, you can, in many cases, get a bootloader unlock token directly from HTCdev.
Also, Firewater no longer works. Even if you could find the APK, the server it uses is gone. The only way to S-off is Sunshine, which is a paid service from the same developers.

Sunshine is the only way to s-off. Firewater was discontinued in Dec 2014.
You don't need s-off to flash CM. But you will need the current hboot (3.19). Plenty of ways to update hboot and other firmware with s-on.
