Has anyone tried doing s-off for Desire eye using firewater or is sunshine s-off the only way ?
Also I'm custom 6.0.1 firmware..
I believe the only way is with Sunshine .
search in google "HTC S-OFF Java Card"
also, this is interesting discussion about sunshine.

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$
Hi, I know that this is a very basic thread and it has been answered before, but I couldn't find a procedure that addresses the 3.28.401.7 software. Can someone please explain to me how to get root access on HTC m8 kitkat (4.4.4 sense 6) software 3.28.401.7 ? Thanks alot
The easy way would probably be to just use Sunshine app. It costs $25 but will do both things for you(and unlock your bootloader too I believe). The app will tell you if it can work or not before you pay for it as well.
Otherwise I would think you could unlock bootloader through htcdev, then flash twrp recovery, which will itself root your phone as part of its install process. You would still need sunshine to s-off though I'm fairly certain.

Sunshine is the only way to s-off.
Rooting is explained above perfectly. ?
I dont think sunshine will root the phone, as I have tried doing sunshine unrooted on 3.28 and it says I have to be rooted in order to actually try the app to see if it can s-off it. I havent rooted my phone and tried sunshine after that, but as i understand it can s-off even the new 3.28 base.

Sunshine is for S-Off, not to root the phone.
Have you tried VomerGuides?

Rooting, after unlocking the bootloader is simple, but OP asked about s-off also. ?
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.
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.
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.
