Hello! You can try these instructions that a quoted. But there have been reports that HBOOT 3.18 is not compatible with firewater, some say Sunshine S-Off is the only way left. Sunshine was created by the devs of firewater but they insist on charging (playing) for this one. In the case it is not compatible with your device they won't take charge you.
ETA:
Here's what I did for those that care
Purchased the phone from AT&T online
Received it yesterday. Software number 1.12.502.18
Used HTCDev to unlock the bootloader
Used this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2699065
To Root and Install TWRP
Installed HTC SynManager and it installed the drivers. I LEFT HTC SYNCMANAGER INSTALLED. I was going to uninstall HTC Syncmanager if I ran into problems
Turned off Screenlock
From Developers Menu, made sure I checked do not put device to sleep when plugged in
Screen Timeout was set to 1 hour
USB Debugging on
Install from Unknown Sources was checked as well
My AndroidSDK folder is in the root of my C: Drive, I placed the firewater file in the Platform Tools folder and "Shift+Right Click" and selected Open Command Window Here
I followed the steps posted on the firewater-soff.com site
adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
/data/local/tmp/firewater
I DID NOT DO ADB REBOOT COMMAND
I don't think I did anything special, but in case anyone else has an AT&T Phone with the same software number, you could give it a try and let us know how it turns out?
Good luck folks!

I've updated the zip for the latest version! I was missing a dll.

Stuck
I cant proceed to the last step
"This will load the image to your device and all you have to to now is wait for your phone to boot the image. Once you are in the 'recovery' you should see a orange purple background.
it doesnt load an image , my phone gets stuck once i hit enter in the CMD
i also cant S-off because it says it needs SUbinary permission

Regaining root access on 4.4.4? philz-recovery and stock rom via htc one m8 toolkit
So I made the bad choice of upgrading to 4.4.4 already (or so it seems to be bad) on my unlocked htc one m8 phone.
I originally rooted on 4.4.3 with the htc one m8 toolkit and followed the root with stock recovery manual using the philz cwm recovery. I then decided to upgrade to 4.4.4. via the software update on the phone
Basically tried to upload the image again so I could root again and it just crashes at the fastboot menu. I also tried to load the twrp recovery and it just rebooted my phone.
The main question: do I basically just have to wait for some update to come about for the philz_recovery image? Or is there potential i'm doing something wrong on 4.4.4.
EDIT: fixed it.. for some reason couldn't flash over the philz recover image.. maybe I did something wrong, but I got the TWRP to work through a standard fastboot flash recovery.. Back in business.

failed root
Once you have the bootloader unlocked download this recovery:
Philz CWM Advanced Edition Recovery
Then go back into the bootloader (you can use the 'ADB' section of the toolkit) and make sure its in FASTBOOT USB mode.
Once you are in the bootloader you'll need to open up a cmd window.
Once that's open you'll need to type:
Code:
fastboot boot
(leave a space after 'boot') then drag the recovery image we downloaded earlier onto the cmd window.
This will load the image to your device and all you have to to now is wait for your phone to boot the image. Once you are in the 'recovery' you should see a orange purple background. Goto:
=> Philz Options (something like that. Its near the bottom of the list)
=> Root device (SuperSU) {its near the top of the list)
This will root your device or at least put the SU Binaries on your phone. All you have to do is reboot your phone. (Keep going back untill you see 'reboot device now'.)
When your phone is booted up just goto the Play Store and download SuperSU by Chainfire. Open it up and you should have root! This will keep the stock recovery so you can install firmware updates later on from HTC.
I hope this helped!

THIS IS MY FIRST TUTORIAL SO MAYBE ITS BAD PLEASE DON'T FLAME
Maybe some of you guys have updated your HTC Desire rom and upgraded you HBOOT To 1.02.blabla that was dumb because you where to be unable to root it... Now this problem solved by a Team namely Revolutionary! credits at the bottom so lets get started!
Step 1: Go to the website of revolutionary cant add a link because i am new Just google Revolutionary
Step 2: Scroll to the bottom and Click download for Linux or Windows (depends which platform you have)
Step 3: If you have started the download then there will be appear a box; fill in that box you information like this:The image is in the attachment
Ok that serial number is fake tog get you real serial number: Options/About Phone/Phone Identify and you will see Device Serial Number Type the same in the Revolutionary box and you will get a beta Key This is you Own Key Everyone gets a different one.
Step 4: Now Plug in you phone in to your computer and enable usb debugging.
Then Run the revolutionary.exe file and it will detect you phone.
And it will ask your beta key. enter it and it will root your phone install a custom recovery and s-off it.
Step 5: Click on the Thanks button
Done.

Open the zip, read META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script, and look what it does..it only add some files to ur system (it even remove it first, in case u already have an older version of those files)
Thanks mate.
Worked fine for me (HTC Desire) - painless in fact .... just as well, as unrevoked3 didn't
Took a few minutes to get S-OFF and CWM, then from there just a simple flash of the Superuser zip file.
Thanks
Which is the best method of rooting?
alpha-rev or unrevoked??
AlpharRev does not give you root. It gives you S-OFF. To get root, you need to use unrevoked (or Revolutionary + flashing superuser.zip afterwards).
Sent from Sandvold's ICS using Transparent XDA App
AlhpaRev and Unrevoked3 do not work on this HBOOT (HBOOT 1.02.0001). At least never worked on mine. Plus, there are much more steps to s-off the phone and root it using the older way (Alpharev and Unrevoked3).
For our HBOOT 1.02.0001 Revolutionary is really a bless. It worked perfect on mine and that only with few clicks (of course, provide PROPER information on the site to get a key). Getting SU access after installing the latest SU from recovery was piece of cake of course.
I got 3.0.7 (from the upper link of course, just delete the file so you can go to the upper directory to get a list of all SU versions).
I cannot say about older HBOOT or newer, but this Revolutionary tool is really the easiest and most simple way to S-Off your phone and get recovery, and from there to install SU is just few steps away (put the downloaded .zip file to SDcard and install from there ... cannot be easier).

Tried with my HTC Desire, but aftre step 4 I am getting the message "waiting for device" and unable to proceed. Please help!

You'll get that error if you are trying to execute fastboot without being in the correct directory, it means that cmd prompt can't find fastboot.exe.

Make sure you navigate (cd) to the correct directory in cmd prompt before attempting to execute fastboot. Use the dir command to make sure fastboot.exe is in the directory before you run it.

Make sure that you read the instructions fully through a couple of times so that you are well aware of what is involved, then download anything that is required, and then go through the directions step-by-step, following them exactly.

Just realizing, you said you relocked your bootloader again, I'd say if you could get it unlocked again, then try the steps in that thread you might have more luck.
Was your phone carrier locked or sim free?
If locked you'll need to install the RUU from your original carrier. If sim free I think any RUU should be ok.
I thought I'd bricked my phone a couple of days ago, but managed to find my carriers RUU and restored it from that.

[Q] Need Rumrunner Help Please!!!!!!!!

Hello All,
I would have posted this in the rumrunner for vzw one forum but I am a new member so I cannot post on dev forums yet. I need to achieve s-off because I want to install CWM and install the stable build of CM10.2 that came out yesterday. I am by no means a noob as I been rooting and flashing custom roms on every android phone I have ever owned all the way back to the OG Droid. Although I am by no means a professional either, I guess I am just good at following write ups online put together by the people that actually build for Android.............or so I thought.
I followed a couple of articles I found online about using Rumrunner for the vzw one to achieve s-off for the device. I have installed the correct htc drivers and have disabled all firewalls and antivirus programs running. The device has USB debugging enabled as is all security settings on the device are are turned of just like the articles say. The trouble is when I execute rumrunner the program goes through the usual test ( boots into fastboot and then adb) and then reboots into fastboot, and then adb again. Then it says device detected and then says waiting for device. Here is where the trouble begins. The program will just sit there and say waiting for device and keep rebooting the device and looks like this below ( I cannot screenshot it because I have already closed it out but it looks just like below)
Waiting for Device
...........................................
Waiting for Device
............................................
Waiting for Device

It will just keep doing this and whille rumrunner is doing that on the computer, the device is rebooting, staying on the homescreen like a normal startup, and then rebooting again. I have tried this on two computers and it gets stuck at the same spot. Any help would be great appreciated I have no idea what im doing wrong
Thanks
Sounds like you're using the wrong version for your firmware. Double check in settings about phone software info. You'll need to make sure firmware numbers match the version of rumrunner you're using. Either .2 .8 .10 or .15 at the end of the number

This is exactly right. I had the same problem as you. I just needed to use the .15 instead of .10 or whatever I was using. I now have s-off, I just don't know how to actually root it from here
To root you need to flash either twrp or cwm recoveries and flash superuser or supersu via those. Check the original development sections for flyhalfs post of either recovery. Download them and boot into fastboot USB. Then open fastboot from the same folder the adb.exe file is in and use the command ' fastboot flash recovery (whatever you name the file).IMG this will give you recovery. And I'm out of time on break to give directions for superuser hopefully someone can post the rest
Make sure you put the recovery image into the same folder as adb

Help Please!!! Installing OTA Update on rooted HTC ONE M8
I recently rooted my One M8 (with no issues) using Hasoon 2000's excellent tool.
Yesterday my phone flashed up the OTA for KitKat 4.4.4 and I downloaded, but when I tried to install it took me to TWRP recovery where I selected the OTA zip file ran it but it didn't update. When I booted back into android the update flashed up again asking if I wanted to install. Tried again but no luck
Can anyone tell me what I need to do in order to install the update please?
Many thanks
HTC One M8 Toolkit
I'm about to hit my One M8 with a sledgehammer. I've been trying to root it with the toolkit but when I hit Get Token ID it says that the device can't be found. I've read through the whole thread and have tried everything suggested that isn't too advanced. I've tried it with two different computers and the same thing happens: nothing. I've installed HTC Sync Manager on both PCs and the software doesn't detect the phone in neither. Windows does detect it.
Any pointers before I murder my phone?

I used this guide. After finding out my model is not compatible with firewater to S-OFF and not wanting to pay for sunshine, I had to use OTAs to update the firmware. You don't need to delete root access but you need to flash stock recovery back to use the OTA update. Its removes root access anyway but SuperSU is still installed.
I do think you need to unlock the bootloader to gain root through custom recovery as you said.
i have a doubt since you have closed the links for htc one m7 root toolkit does this one m8 toolkit work on m7 too??
rooting problem
hey i am using the htc one m8 eye i have unlocked my bootloader, the software status on the bootloader mode reads

but shows s-on
after flashing the twrp recovery many times my device still doesnt seem to open up twrp and whenever i click recovery it boots back to the fastboot page in the bootloader, i am really stuck
can someone please guide how to go about this now? as i have no clue what to do next.
thank you.

Rooting HTC One (M8) Question
So I'm trying to root my HTC One (M8), I've downloaded Hasoon2000's toolkit. I'm to the point where I am trying Boot Into Bootloader, but every time I run that, it says device not found. I have debugging on and everything. Any help is appreciated...
I need help unlocking the bootloader!
So I tried following the directions on htcdev.com but i came to the part where i type "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" and type it into adb and it just sits there at "<waiting for device>". I have done everything correctly to the best of my knowledge. Now i did a little troubleshooting and found out that my one m8 is recognized by adb when the phone is booted up and in the OS but when I go to the bootloader by typing "adb reboot bootloader" and it goes to bootloader and i type the command to get the token is says waiting for device again so then I typed adb devices and ithe phone is not recognized. I have no idea why this is happening so I'm relying on this Q&A thread for help. Tried googling and so far I've gotten "switch USB ports". I've switched it and it hasn't worked. I've also tried using the tool and i get the same result and i followed all the directions from the toolkit from step 1 to 5. Thanks in advance for any help.
Will this tool work with 4.4.4?
I have the latest version of Android on my HTC one M8. I was wondering if this tool is still effective for my phone?
Will OTA still work with root?
I want to root my ATT M8 and I know an OTA is coming early Janruary. I I do t want to have to redo the root and I want to make sure I still get the OTA. So should I just wait.
im trying to get my main version number but when i hit getvar all i get everything but my main version
will this work on HTC One M8 Eye ?
will the perm root will still work with the new AT&T 4.4.4 KitKat OS?
will the perm root will still work with the new AT&T 4.4.4 KitKat OS?

[Q] Dev Edition stuck on installing 5.0

Hi,
I´ve had a problem for about a month now. I always look for the solution before even thinking about creating a new thread, but this time I´m stumped, I really don´t know what to do. I have a HTC One M8 Developer Unlocked edition; I bought it off of Amazon. A few months ago I rooted it because I wanted to use Pushbullet. After a few tries I got it working with TWRP.
A few weeks ago I learned that Lollipop was being released and I wanted to upgrade my phone, unfortunately you can´t get it unless the phone is unrooted, so I tried that. I followed theunlockr guide "How to unroot the htc one m8" up to the point of switching S-ON.
After that I tried to upgrade to Lollipop, it didn´t work. The phone would get stuck in the installing screen, and then a red triangle with an exclamation mark would appear. This has happened every single time I tried to install the upgrade.
After that I tried to reset to factory using RUU, but I couldn´t do it. I got the error 150… Now I have a supposedly stock ROM but I can´t install Lollipop… Can you help me? This whole story comes to this.. How can I revert my M8 back to stock so I can get Lollipop?
Right now it has S-ON, if that helps.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English, it´s not my native language.
1. There is no need to change S-Off to S-On
2. There is no need to unroot when you're not sure how-to
3. When the phone get stuck in the installing screen, and then a red triangle with an exclamation mark appear, press and hold volume up and tap power button once, it will give you the error log then you'll know what are the problems that stopping the update
4. When you use a RUU when S-On, you need to relock bootloader before you run RUU

Ok thanks, I´ll try that as soon as I get home. What do you think its better, turn S-OFF and then run RUU or relock the bootloader first?

When S-Off - just run RUU
When S-On - relock bootloader then run RUU

Ok I did what you told me. I got this message:
Installing Update package...
L50QCT.01.101.007
htc/brightstarus_wwe/htc_m8: 4.4.4/KTU84P/389838.5:user/release-keys or

this device has htc_europe/htc_m8: 4.4.4/KTU84P/389838.9
As far as I understand I have the EU version (Don´t ask me how...), what can I do now? What would be the next move?
Thanks

That's your problem.
You have a Dev Edition installed but using EU stock recovery.
You need Dev Edition stock recovery.
If you can't find one, copy the OTA zip from internal storage/Download folder to PC. Open the OTA zip with 7-zip, open firmware.zip, extract out recovery.img
This recovery.img is what you need.
Or try this one : http://sourceforge.net/projects/htconem8/files/Recovery/3.28.1540.5_recovery.img/download

Hi! Sorry for taking so long, had to work.
I searched for the HTC ONE M8 Developer Edition but could't find it.. So I downloaded the OTA, extracted the recovery.img but I don't know what to do now, I tried to run the Recovery from the bootloader but I still get the red triangle with the exclamation mark.
What can I do now?
Thanks.

I guess some of the system files are not pure stock.
The easiest way is run RUU.
1. Download Dev Ed RUU : http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...G_20.68.4196.01_F_release_411207_signed_2.exe
2. RUU will wipe all in internal storage. Make a backup of your files before you run RUU
3. Put your device on bootloader/fastboot mode
4. If your device is S-On
a-relock bootloader - fastboot oem lock
b-run RUU (select run as administrator in your windows explorer context menu)
5. If your device is S-Off - run RUU (select run as administrator in your windows explorer context menu)

It worked, after I ran the RUU it automatically installed Lollipop. I can't thank you enough, really. One last thing before I stop bothering you, for future reference, how can I check the version of my software, how can I know if I have the BrightstarUS, instead of the EU version?
Anyway, the last thing is not that important. I really thank you!

Great :good::good:
How to know ? Simple
Check the OS no. written on bootloader or run command fastboot getvar all
You'll see the version-main no.
x.xx.401.x is EU
x.xx.1540.x is Dev Ed (BrightstarUS)
