Firewater S-OFF not working

Hey guys! For whatever reason, whenever I try to S-OFF my HTC One M8 using Firewater, I don't get the Yes/No prompt. No idea why and have spent 2 hours trying to fix/research solutions. I'd really like S-OFF. I have a Canadian TELUS model. Yes, ADB is configured properly.

did you accept the prompt on your phone after the su command?

Yes I did.

Did you do the reboot part at the beginning?
Also try hard rebooting and trying from the beginning. Re-download to make sure no issues with the file.

Make sure you download latest from the site. If it gives you whelp message, you're out of luck.
If it's just not connecting try another PC, Virtual Machine or Linux Live CD.

Using latest version from the Firewater site.
It is connecting, i am getting the same thing as the OP's image. so pc is talking to phone but file just wont launch anything.
at the moment i have a bigger problem, i accidently deleted my OS while trying to get firewater working so I dont have a rom now..
trying to work that one out first.

SOLVED
For anybody having this same issue, it turns out the version of the file is incorrect.
how can this be?
Well it turns out my ISP (Optus Australia) was caching the file and it was the wrong version.
After working with the firewater dev Beaups we worked out the file had the wrong md5 checksum.
to get around this, try download it using mobile data or another network.
Once i got the same file through another link (bypassing ISP cache) it worked as expected.
Hope that helps somebody.

[Q] request help with xperia z1 compact please

i'm really stuck and could use some help please.
i managed to unlock the bootloader and get CM recovery installed, but i cannot manage to get a ROM on the phone.
it's not rooted. i have attempted to sideload both CM 12 and Z1c_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-114_v01.img with no success. when i boot the phone, i get a sony splash screen and then active black, but cannot connect it to my computer as a connected device as the computer does not recognize it. i am able to see the device via fastboot and adb in terminal.
i'm using a mac. i'm an extreme noob and i have no idea what to do. i have tried following the instructions on several sites, including many different areas of xda, but frankly, i'm stuck and would really appreciate help. i just want to have a working device.
running 10.9.5 on a mac mini
have installed sony bridge for mac, but it does not see a device connected.
any help is appreciated.
thanks in advance.
EDITED TO ADD:
ok, i fixed it. i installed (using ./adb sideload) the correct SuperSU version, and then installed (using ./adb sideload) CM12 and GAPPS 5.0.x, and it all appears to be working.
if anyone is in a similar situation, i would say, take a break, remember to breathe, and go slow. don't get frustrated. that was the deal breaker for me. once i gave myself some time and space to think about it, i figured out that what was stopping my progress was that the phone was not rooted, so i couldn't install anything on it yet. patience is key.

there is not a mac version. the only think resembling a mac version is the sony bridge for mac, which i stated twice was not recognizing my phone.
the point is sort of moot, because i figured it out.

Wonder why there is a link to the Mac version then.

not sure. perhaps you can show me where.

I have already given you the link to the site. In regards to your edit in the OP, you don't need to be rooted to use the flashtool.

well, the link you previously provided me shows that the flashtool is for pc, and the mac tool, which i tried to use, was not working. i have resolved my issue, so again, it's a moot point, but if you're going to be telling me that there is a sony flashtool that is for mac, and telling me that the link you have given me is it, then i think i have to stand by what i said before.

thanks for that. i was looking in the wrong place, it would have been really helpful to have had a direct link, i appreciate you providing one. probably could have saved me a very large headache, but the upside is, i was able to puzzle it out for myself and solve it, which is good for my own learning and development. so there's that.
i was looking at the sony flashtool, which only has a pc version. and i kept explaining that but clearly was not understood.
appreciate the help!

You obviously didn't look at all otherwise when told to download the Mac version you would have gone to the download page and found it, why you've not done that only you know, and the problem wasn't me not understanding you it was you thinking you know better than long time and more knowledgeable members telling you there actually is a Mac version. Anyway, you got there in the end.

actually, i did look. but you're going to assume whatever you assume.
i was in the midst of it, i was very frustrated and very lost, i looked at the entire page (clicking on the link for the xperia x1, maybe i was in the wrong place)
i found what i found and it wasn't the correct thing, it is what it is.

I assume what I assume based on what you wrote and once again have been shown to be right again in my assumptions, the first 3 links are Welcome, Gallery and Download, why you've not thought to click on Download is quite baffling when I suggested that you Download the Mac version, even more so when you continued to state there wasn't one, anyway.
Your issue is resolved and you've learned something new along the way.

How do i update it? I am scared of bricking my new phone so could someone please explain it to me like i am stupid? I used the all_in_one_toolkit (wonderful program!)

1) Mods won't like you posting a question in the Dev thread... there are specific sections (general, firmware, etc) where you can post it...
2)Considering that your phone is practically new, if you only rooted it and haven't installed a custom recovery, you will be able to update your firmare (OTA) through the built in upgrade process on your phone. Once, that is done, root your phone and install a custom recovery like TWRP.
good luck

Yes, I sure do.
First of all, if you want the newest ViperOne, you'll want 5.0.1 firmware, at least.
Hook up to you PC. Get into ADB/fastboot, and issue the command fastboot getvar all.
Post the readout here, and I, or someone else, will point you in the proper direction to update your firmware.
Please make sure to delete the serial# and IMEI from the readout. Never post those in a public forum.

Okay. This will update your firmware. Backup anything important to you, because this will wipe your phone.

Yes, but that's easy. Unlock your bootloader, flash TWRP, and flash a rooted ROM, such as ViperOne.
Also, I recommend not using one click toolkit methods. They often cause problems, plus doing it manually is easy and gives you an introduction to ADB and fastboot, making it less intimidating.

I don't know how to do it manually =( last time I tried I hard bricked my m7

You need to re-lock your bootloader first if you are not S-Off.
Get back into fastboot and do fastboot oem lock, then leave your phone connected, and run the RUU again.

I don't know.
Maybe you don't have the drivers installed on your PC.
Go to Device Manager with your phone connected. You should see that your M8 is connected.
If you don't see it in Device Manager, download HTC Sync Manager and run it to install the drivers. After that, uninstall HTC Sync. It doesn't play nice with ADB and fastboot. The drivers will remain.
Then go to Device Manager and confirm that your phone is listed there when connected..

How to update my Verizon M8 to Marshmallow

I have a Verizon M8.
All i want is to update my android version from lollipop to marshmallow.
I've searched for long and i just want you guys to tell me the easiest way to do it, thanks.
I'm s-on.

I take it you actually are not on the Verizon network?
If that is the case, you will have to search around for the Verizon version RUUs. The links previously posted were removed by request of the poster.

Sunshine s-off should work. But you need to root with kingroot, if the built-in Sunshine temp root doesn't work.
Now, updating by official RUU versus s-off and custom ROMs (or other "unofficial" means) is a personal choice.

Firmware whilst S-On.

Morning all,
Im not S-off and I'm using a pretty dated firmware..
I was told that there is a way to obtain and flash a firmware WITHOUT wiping anything and without too much fuss.
My questions:
What is the COMMAND in CMD?
Where do you find the signed firmware?
How do you identify which one to use?
What does it actually change? As the phone does work on dated firmware, more optimised?
I highly doubt I'm the only one who would benefit from this, once I know the answers I'll leave them here and I'll write a guide on how to install them step by step I'll also link the firmwares do others can help themselves.
Thanks
Currently running: Viper 3.5.0
Firmware: 1.80.401.1
S-ON
Unecrypted.

Have come mate, but I've asked some other things plus there is apparently a way to do it without the use of a tool.

This is the specific thread for firmware update.
I think you can only flash the full stock zip since you are s-on. Do take note that flashing the stock firmware.zip will wipe your internal storage.
The firmware to flash should have matching CID and MID of your device.
To check your mid and cid type this command in cmd while the device is in download mode.
fastboot getvar all

First make a backup. This will wipe your phone.
Then relock your bootloader. In fastboot fastboot oem lock
Download this RUU.zip
Rename the .zip to 2PS6IMG and place it onto your extSD
Boot to download mode and follow the prompts (vol up to flash ~ power button to reboot)
That's it. Super easy.
Delete the renamed .zip from your extSD or else every time you boot to download mode it'll try to update again.
Now unlock your bootloader again with the same bin code that HTC gave you when you first did it, or request a new one. Flash TWRP back onto your phone, then flash SuperSU or a custom ROM to regain root.
This is why I paid $25 for Sunshine.
For S-Off users, you just flash a small firmware package, and that's it. No data loss. No relocking the bootloader. No reflashing recovery. No re-rooting.
It really is worth the price in the amount of time and hassle saved through the lifetime of the phone.

OK so this is where I've heard different.. There apparently isn't any need to return to stock so think you may need to read the originating post yourself mate
Otherwise how would the tool mentioned in the second post work? Appreciate you saying all that but it doesn't help my query.
As for sunshine I completely disagree, I've had every single htc bar two since the G1 and I've had S-off on all of them where available so I know the S-off method well, and have made a lot of donations to developers over the years, I also buy all my apps and support Devs when they deserve it for apps.
In regards to sunshine, I paid for this app for my m9 less than a year ago, I get one license, I can't use this for my 10 and I'll have another phone soon so see little point, they should offer more than one unlock for £25 and the only reason why they've got away with this daylight robbery is because they've monopolised the market, I'm sure I'm not the the only person who's noticed this.
Anyway, I'll wait to hear from someone who knows about the signed firmwares and how to install them. The tool can do it, so there must be a manual way, Id prefer to do that as I've had problems with tools in the past and with firmware you really want to get it right.

I think you misunderstood me. I'm sure there is a thread somewhere here with signed firmware (there is for M8), but I don't know of it. If I did, I would have linked you there.
But you asked if anyone could give you help, so I offered you a way to do it.
Even if you find a signed firmware.zip, you'll still need to re-lock your bootloader since you are S-On.
You might as well save some time searching and just run the RUU

Even if you find a signed firmware.zip, you'll still need to re-lock your bootloader since you are S-On.
You might as well save some time searching and just run the RUU

I'll check around, was speaking with @LeeDroid a while ago, can't remember him saying relock the bootloader, I'll ask him.
I'm pretty sure there is a way. Can't see that tool in the second post relocking your bootloader.

Actually, I have been following the method of @krassermensch's since before he started a thread about it. He posted to a different firmware thread about the method, and I've been curious about it since. In his OP he states that you need an unlocked bootloader, so his method is probably your best solution. I haven't tried it myself as I have always been S-Off on my HTC phones.

Have come mate, but I've asked some other things plus there is apparently a way to do it without the use of a tool.

My tool is on GitHub, read the content of the batch files and you know how to do it

yea same here man, looking at the tools code it seems that it asks you to back up first.
I'll check it out in the morning.
Thanks chaps

The backup is necessary as the firmware update files overwrite the recovery and the boot partitions...
