HTC M8 GSM, (Locked to O2 UK)
HBOOT 3.16.0..0000,
OS-1-54.206.5

Unlocked using HTCDEV.
Rooted using TWRP
Flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip
Verified using rootchecker.

Using OSX Terminal and USB2 connection:
Flashed Firewater,
Gained SU,
Modded permissions,
Ran firewater.

All I ever get is this message:

all out of bottles and still no buzz :( reboot device by holding power and try again


Any ideas what I need to do? Really need to sim-unlock this phone.

Several people, including me, had it working by copying a large file (1-2 GB) to the internal memory (just drag & drop) while the 1st bottle is opened/chugging.

Brilliant.

Using OSX I fired up Android File Transfer, Flashed Firewater and sent over 4 7Mb Video Files to the M8 internal memory after 8 Bottles I got S-OFF message.


Thank you.
