I would but I don't have time to go back to the store tonight if it doesn't work.
Or will anything bad happen if it fails?

Why would you try a method to S-OFF intended for other devices with this one? It would be a nice starting point to screw up the device though :good:

Bad idea. You can brick the device.

Nope, but your apps will be erased using the RUU. So use the backup if you want to keep them.

Weak sauce is for temp root with out unlocking or flashing super su binaries. I didn't want to unlock and only s-off but now i'm unable to. You dont need htcdev for weak sauce but it only works on the Verizon m8.

Correct. Here is exactly what I did in order. Unlocked the bootloader first via HTC Dev. Installed custom recovery and perm root via the HTC Toolkit. Then followed instructions on the Firewater link. Have S-Off, TWRP and Root now.

Did you lose the preload apps from /data/preload ?
I want to get a backup of those before I HTC Dev unlock if possible. I'm looking at the libs in system to see if I can find another one that would work for weaksauce. (I.E. it is just renamed and has the same exports)

If it's empty you lost them. I don't know their names, because without root, I can't get a directory listing.

Can't find anything that has an export for: "CopyFileCtl" which means no weaksauce on this phone. It looks like HTC Dev Unlock works fine, and so does the firewater s-off but you can't do it without flashing a recovery yet.

Can you confirm if /data/preload is empty after the htc unlock?
Barking up the wrong tree with the library. The same vulnerability exists (from what I have seen) but needs to be exploited in a different route than how the current version of weaksauce is doing it. I didn't build it for compatibility, i built it for easy of testing, as I do not have the device myself.
Dump system, upload it somewhere for me, no promises as I normally don't like to do roots for unlockable phones, but I am interested in finishing the exploit (the one I released is not "finished", as I didn't have the device when I wrote it, just the firmware).

@Sonic2756 Does your java card support the vzw m7 hboot 1.56?
I've never encrypted and ruu but there is a tool that supposed to be able to do it. Its called " RUUVEAL ". might want to look into it / ask the dev how to use it. you might be able to re-encrypt the zip for s-on status.

yeah.. the problem is that ruuveal will encrypt it fine.... it won't however sign it. For an s-on phone that signing is what matters most... so even though we could re-encrypt it... we would still need an S-off phone to flash it.

You should try firewater. If it doesn't work for you then you are out of luck. Either pay the $25 once and then flash whatever you like, or you will just wait for the official OTA
the $25 is worth it :good:

it also depends on your cid.
