I almost missed your feedback here... Tapatalk released the worst update to an app I've ever seen and it's messing with my notifications. Thanks for letting me know it worked... I figured one of them would!

Is the firewater site down? Is anyone else having issues connecting to it? I'm stuck on the step where i need s-off and can't get firewater.

I installed sunshine but I was already mid-process with another guide and have already unlocked the bootloader and installed insert coin. So now when I start sunshine it tells me my ramdisk/kernel has been modified and I need to flash to stock. Can I just flash stock m8 rom from tmobile and the issue will be fixed or do I have to relock the bootloader?

If you are trying to s-off a m8 device you are in the wrong thread. This is the t6. Not m8. You need to flash a non-modified boot.img. Go to m8 thread and ask over there and you may get a link.

Ok, for some reason I thought I was in the M8 section, apologies. However, my question is more about generally getting s-off to work, I'm guessing it would be exactly the same on the t6.

As firewater has been shut down server-side, this guide no longer applies. Currently, only Sunshine works, and users should try that if they want s-off. If you don't wish to pay for it, you can develop your own s-off method and publish it for free. I have modified the OP to reflect that firewater is no longer supported. Thread closed. Feel free to PM me for any questions, queries, etc.
@pradeepvizz: PM me if you wish for the thread to be reopened.

    Mod edit: Firewater has been shut down server-side and is no longer supported. Try Sunshine.

    It claims to S-off any HTC device that is rooted/unlocked.

    *Works with Hboot 2.47

    Home
    welcome to firewater
    what firewater can do for you:

    • S-OFF Your HTC device
    • Unlock your bootloader


    Prerequisites


    1. Working adb on your PC. Yes, that means OS X, linux, Windows, etc. are all supported.
    2. HTC drivers installed and working
    3. HTC sync removed (not closed – REMOVED)
    4. All other phone software removed or disabled (Samsung Kies, PDANet, etc.)
    5. A working internet connection ON YOUR DEVICE - wifi, 3g, 4g, etc. are all supported. There is no way around this requirement, don’t ask.
    6. USB debugging enabled on your device
    7. Your device must be HTCDEV unlocked/rooted or have a working temproot. A temproot that works with many modern (not all) HTC devices is provided below.
    8. Do not attempt to run firewater from a terminal emulator on your device. You MUST use adb along with a PC.
    9. A supported device. firewater *should* work with most modern QUALCOMM BASED HTC devices, including (but not limited to) the htc one, droid dna, one s, one max, and many others.

    Instructions (normal, rooted device method)

    Once you confirm you meet the above pre-requisites, it’s time to get started.

    1. Ensure device is booted to android with usb debugging enabled.
      USB 2.0 ports are preferred.
      You should not be connected using any hubs which may cause connectivity issues
    2. Ensure that lock screen security is disabled on your device.
      no passcode lock
      no pattern lock
      no face lock
    3. Download firewater HERE - _http://firewater-soff.com/firewaterdownload-3
    4. Push, Prepare, and Execute firewater:

      adb reboot <–important!!!!
      adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
      adb shell
      su
      chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
      /data/local/tmp/firewater

    5. Agree to the terms and conditions you are prompted with
    6. Allow the exploit to do its work.
    7. Profit



    Instructions (temp-root method)

    This method may allow firewater to work on a fully stock/htcdev locked device. This method is being provided as a convenience. Do NOT seek support if this temproot does not work for you.

    1. Ensure device is booted to android with usb debugging enabled.
      USB 2.0 ports are preferred.
      You should not be connected using any hubs which may cause connectivity issues
    2. Ensure that lock screen security is disabled on your device.
      no passcode lock
      no pattern lock
      no face lock
    3. Download firewater HERE - _http://firewater-soff.com/firewaterdownload-3
    4. Download temproot HERE - _http://firewater-soff.com/temprootdownload
    5. Push, Prepare, and Execute temproot and firewater:

      adb reboot <–important!!!!
      adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
      adb push temproot /data/local/tmp
      adb shell
      chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/temproot
      chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
      /data/local/tmp/temproot
      /data/local/tmp/firewater

    6. Agree to the terms and conditions you are prompted with
    7. Allow the exploit to do its work.
    8. Profit

    thanks a lot i do have adb & fastboot already. here's what im getting in terminal window when i'm entering adb commands:
    Last login: Sat Mar 8 19:36:02 on ttys000
    Joshuas-MacBook-Pro:~ joshuamatthews$ cd /users/joshuamatthews/downloads/android-1
    Joshuas-MacBook-Pro:android-1 joshuamatthews$ ./adb devices
    List of devices attached
    FA3B8SC03587 device

    Joshuas-MacBook-Pro:android-1 joshuamatthews$ ./adb reboot
    Joshuas-MacBook-Pro:android-1 joshuamatthews$ ./adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
    cannot stat 'firewater': No such file or directory
    Joshuas-MacBook-Pro:android-1 joshuamatthews$​

    Is it because the file on my phone is named 'firewaterdownload-3.bin'? I've tried a combination of different names in terminal with no success. Or could it be because those files aren't in that file path maybe?

    Once again, thank you lol.
