[Q] s-off on Hboot 2.49 firewater problem - HTC One Max

Hi, this will be my first post but ive been a member for a while just never had a problem big enough to create a post till now. so this is my second max the first one was on 4.3 and rumrunner did the trick, but I have been reading almost every thread that had to do with s-off of hboot 2.49, i read about going to old drivers switching ports and cables basically did everything. I am on verizon and have temp root with weaksauce and have root but when firewater runs and its start chugging it either chugs one or two and then returns to the command line, one time it kept chugging to bottle 11(figured it was on a loop) so thats where i am at any guidance would be much appreciated. btw, i tried using the firewater temp root but i get a failed getting root so cant go on from there, just thought id share that.

By temp root, do you mean weaksauce?
Edit: reread and I see that you do. Sometimes these things just work randomly, I'd just keep trying. Maybe post a screenshot of exactly what your PC screen looks like when trying with weaksauce root?

Yes its a very confusing mystery to me

I hear ya. I'm looking at getting this phone myself and want to make sure I can get s-off lol. Let me know if you have any success if you don't mind.

I will, theres a lot of pople that have used firewater and it works i just might be one of those special cases, but keep watching this thread hopefully someone will get me on he right track

I just had an idea. I was reading about weaksauce and it takes about a minute for root to become available after device boot. So, maybe you could try waiting a minute after the part where the device reboots to execute the next command.

Yea i wait or go in the app and do it my self, i also installed root checker and it shows im rooted, and when im on the step where you ask for su it gives it to me so i dont think its a root issue, to be honest i dont know what it is has me really baffled?

Also, make sure you are using a USB 2.0 port. People in other forums have reported issues with 3.0.

lol, ok so my computer has 6 usb ports four 2.0 and 2 for 3.0 i tried at first on 2.0 then reading on people said try using 3.0 then i stopped at 3.0, but when you run firewater it tells you this:
opening first bottle 1
chugging..........
after this it should say you are now s-off and blah blah blah(saw a pic someone put on one thread) what it does to me is:
opening first bottle 1
chugging..........
C:\Users\Desktop\ etc
basically to me means it failed because it went back to command line

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2632385&page=17
found a pic almost like that but with the chugging

Strange. It might just not be possible on the latest firmware. Most s-off methods seems to work better if you've already unlocked the bootloader. But with the VZW model, you need to get s-off before unlocking bootloader, which I think might be a big reason why people have so much trouble with vzw s-off. I'm not too familiar with HTC, is there an official way to roll back the firmware without s-off?

Revolutionary has stopped. The last update they made to the tool was about 2 months ago. Look at their site, then go to the bottom of the wiki page and take a look.
No update in 2 months= whatever you want to think.
They won't be finding a patch for the evo3d 1.5 hboot because they aren't looking.

I've talked to them as well, if anyone asks about any news on 1.5 hboot, they simply say no, then kick you out of irc. Why would they have any desire to put any effort into looking when htc released the unlock method? It's not going to happen, maybe next summer.

You s-off by reading the directions on the sites that have been referenced many times on this forum.
I got the wire trick on a bootcamped macbook pro running windows 7 32bit
took me like 30 minutes though.
Also worth noting that in this culture of Jailbreaking, S-Off, and Rooting, usually multiple developer teams start hacking the next generation devices, but only one vulnerability method is promoted and published at a time.
Why?
Because the OEMs are simultaneously trying to patch any security loopholes the community finds and locate more overlooked loopholes themselves.
If the public hack gets fixed on next round of software, there is a good possibility other unpublished methods will still be successful.
Gotta keep aces in the hole...
Hopefully the next OTA won't 'fix' this exploit. We shall see. I S-OFF'd with my HP laptop. Took me a little while and a couple tries. I had the video with the wire trick up to help me with the timing on it.
I never could get s-off I have a Mac and I couldn't get the wire timing right the few times I have had access to a pc... To be fair I used a rather short paper clip... Im still s-on :-(

My understanding was because of the physical nature of the phone a hardware change is required to prevent s-off.
Also when the OTA comes out if you are s-off it wont turn you s-on anyway. Once s-off always s-off unless you fasboot secure writeflag your bootloader...

For me, the only difficult part of getting S-OFF was the timing. I kept moving my wire from one contact to the other and getting the "STILL SOBER" message on the CMD window. But I found it works more easily for me if I had the wire held onto the pin 1 contact and then tapped ground twice instead of the other way around like the video shows.
I also got S-OFF using my desktop, with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and an 1100W PSU.
If you unlock & root with S-on... Is it possible to ever get OTA updates again?

Decline EVO update?

Hey guys, finally upgraded to the LTE after having the original EVO since launch day. Anyway, I just got the phone yesterday and a notification keeps pestering me to take a "system update." I wish to root in the future, so am I right in assuming I shouldn't take this? If so, how do I dismiss the notification? Thanks. Sorry if this is noobish, I haven't been in the game for a while.
You should be fine to root regardless.

I would decline the update. Check your hboot number and proceed from there if you're planning to obtain S-OFF.
Yea, if you have hboot 1.12, don't update. If I were you and it was hboot 1.12, I would root and s-off, then flash the latest stock rooted rom
Decline the update if you planning on getting root and S-off. is more easy to achieve it with the olders software.

You can downgrade from the other hboots but it is a pain. If your looking to just root though you'll be fine.

There is actually S-OFF methods for all HBOOTs (1.12,1.15, and 1.19). If you are still on HBOOT 1.12 use lazypanda. If you are on anything higher just use dirtyracun.
Thanks everyone. I definitely plan on attaining S-off. I'm on hboot 1.15.

I always wait a week before updating, unless you want done of the nasty surprise.
Dirty racun seems really intimidating. I Only have 64-bit windows 7 computers and no blank cd to run ubuntu anyway so I'm out of luck. Is flashing roms with s-on easier than gaining s-off? I'm considering working that way instead.

You dont need a blank cd to boot ubuntu, you can do it right of a usb memory stick.
I was going to try that, but I read through the thread and lady x was pretty adamant about USB sticks causing some sort of problem that they wouldn't help with.

What u can do is create a vhd or another partition and run ubuntu on a USB and install it on the VHD/partition. Then reboot into it and follow the process. When ur done its as simple as removing the VHD/Partition and readding the space back to ur main HDD

How to remove "tampered" tag from bootloader mode?

Hey everyone, the HTC Droid DNA is my first android phone ever. I've had several years' experience jailbreaking and developing on the ipod touch, so I rooted my phone after exploring it and becoming familiar with the operating system and its features. Everything went smoothly, except that now there's a headline in bootloader mode that says **TAMPERED**, I guess as a quick way for Verizon to find out if the phone's been rooted or not.
Well, I do know about unrooting, but my question is, will unrooting my phone remove the **TAMPERED** line from bootloader mode?
No the tampered notice is permanent until we get s-off.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
From my understanding, rooting is pretty much you performing a privilege escalation attack on your phone.
So is getting s-off the same thing, just to a deeper level?
It's not the same. S-on means security is On and you cannot make chanes to the system files while booted in android.
The Cube kernel allows writing to the system while booted in android but it's not the same as S-off though the effect is similar.
So, how do programs like Unrevoked Forever get s-off?
And I haven't heard about the phone's radio, which is apparently where the flag is stored. Can someone explain that to me, or link to an article that does? I'll try to find one in the meantime...
edit: Found a question on stackexchange.com explaining what the radio firmware is.
(I know it can't be this easy, but...) If you can't change it while booted into Android, then wouldn't you have to connect the phone to the computer, turn it off, and run an assembly program on it that flips the S flag, provided that you know where it is? Or flash a new radio to it, with a flipped S flag?

This isn't true. It was a kernel issue that prevented us from writing to the system. This has been resolved with dsbs newest kernel as you said but that had nothing to do with s-on. S-off means we can't write to the parts of our phones that could potentially leave us with sexy paper weights

S-off is like root in the sense that we have parts of the system we can't touch until we achieve such. S-off is different depending on the device because it requires a different exploit. Its a shame Cyanogen doesnt work for HTC instead of Samsung haha.

That's where I'm confused. I've only dealt with Moto phones that have locked bootloaders. Once rooted and the bootloader is circumvented we could install any Rom as long as a developer ported one over . With the S thing, I'm not 100% clear on it even though I've read a few articles on it, and now a kernel was made that allows writing to the system while booted there is an additional wrinkle to my comprehension of all this.
How do you find an exploit in the radio? Is the code in it ever readable to the user?

If I unlocked my bootloader is that enough to get the updates direct from HTC? or do I need to get a unlock code from ATT? or would I have had to buy a unlocked one straight from HTC?
First post! Thanks for starting a stupid question thread!
@ the poster above me, from what I've read so far, any unlocking of the bootloader will disable the OTA HTC updates. But I might have misread, I'm just learning about all this too and have read way too many pages of posts already. I'm sure someone in the know will chime in to confirm.
Now, my turn! I Just switched from iPhone to the HTC one and have really started considering flashing cleanRom 2.5. I have a kindle fire that I managed to root and get jelly bean on, so I'm not a total noob, but I wanna ask a few noob questions. Here goes:
I have spent a long time getting my phone setup the way I like it and when I flash cleanrom, is there a way to carry over the apps and things I've installed? No biggie if not, but I've got some saved game data on here already and some other stuff I'd rather not lose if there was an easy way to save. And is everything working correctly in the cleanrom to where I can still make zoes and use the camera, gallery, etc?
Also, any tips for getting this thing rooted? I was planning on downloading that "noob-proof" toolkit and going from there. I've read about people getting freezes and install issues using twrp, which scares me a bit because I have no idea what that other thing is (starts with a c) that people are using. and I read something Scott said that you should never do a system wipe or you could lose your backup?? I know I used to wipe the system, cache, and something else when I rooted my kindle but I never tried to go back to stock or even look to see if I had a backup file somewhere. maybe if there's a step by step guide you could point me to that I might have missed?
Thanks for the help, I'm glad I joined the forum!

No, unlocking the bootloader won't allow that. If we get s-off then changing the cid and flashing a stock developer edition Rom with a relocked bootloader should allow that if one so desired.
---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------
There is no "easy" way perse' to back that stuff up and carry over. There is a way I saw sometime back to root without unlocking the bootloader. Theoretically one could do that and use titanium backup... But I don't really know if it will save your game progress... And you will have to offload your titanium backup data to a computer or something before unlocking the bootloader because it will erase everything. The thing about not wiping system came about because of all the problems people have been having with aroma freezing. Some people seem to have it worse then others but the idea is if aroma screws up over and over you still have an os to boot into. I personally (cross my fingers) have had little trouble with that (maybe 1 freeze or 2 then it runs through all the way). I'd suggest leaving the system folder alone until you know how your phone reacts to aroma installs.

Good to know, would it effect anything if i got a unlock code? Also if i were to reflash the 1.26 RUU could i then grab them using the update in the menu section that is not labled att update?
Can I flash roms from other HTC one carriers?

Not sure about the unlock code but I suspect it would only be a SIM unlock to use on other carriers. Not sure it changes the cid. The other software update your talking about won't grab firmware updates from HTC... There was a software update pushed through that recently for the HTC media thing I read it was so media sharing could be turned on without having mobile hotspot activated.

Yes you can. I'm using Trickdroid currently, and my HTC One is an ATT version.

I am unable to see flags in outlook when I flag message in email for exchange. I used to use touchdown but I like the native app on here..Does anyone know what setting needs to be changed so the flag will sync with my outlook.
Thanks in advance,
Root Help
I am having some issues rooting my phone.
I unlocked my bootloader successfully on the HTCdev site
I created a folder on my desktop called android, the folder has the fastboot application and "twrp.img" file
i boot my phone into fastboot (? sorry 100% new to this not sure if i said that correctly)
connect usb cable
command prompt cd desktop\android
then ....android>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
then it reads...
C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\ANDROID>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
error: cannot load 'twrp.img': Unknown error
Im not sure what im doing wrong, its probably something very stupid. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Probably a bad download of twrp
I did a back up and want to know if I need to flash the boot img and what I need to get the latest update?
