Worked very well, the temproot did take the whole 10 minutes, but after that firewater S-OFF'd on the first bottle (was on Android 4.3). Thanks!

Can someone please post a detailed instructions on what to do to push the file to the device and how to set permissions etc.? I cant S-off by the Rumrunner method and this is perhaps the only way I can S-off my device :/ Help would be appreciated, thanks.
If you need detailed instructions it's all in the first post, follow either the rooted set if you have a rooted rom, or the temproot method if you haven't unlocked and rooted.
You need to download firewater (and temproot for option 2) and place them in the same folder where you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe.
From within this folder tou have to open the command promt. Press shift + right click and chose open command promt. Or search your pc for "cmd" (an .exe file) and right click on this and chose copy. Paste this .exe file in the same folder as mentioned before.
Now, once you open the command prompt here, just start typing the commands that are shown in the instructions starting with "adb reboot". All these commands refer to the actions "push, prepare and execute". Just put in the commands correctly and at the end, if it works, you should see an output telling you that your device is s-off (Firewater didnt work for me but I did manage to push, prepare and execute).
Make sure you have all the requirements in check before starting. Good luck!

Tried it over 10 times with no luck on T-Mobile DE 3.63.111.3. It didn't even succeeded with stock rooted 3.62.401.1.
There must be some fix on latest T-Mob DE firmware that prevents the exploit.

Same problem here without Branding.
But it's a known problem, a lot of people have this problem.
Hopefully it will be fixed :/
There are many S-OFF threads for the Evita. Facepalm, Rumrunner, a few AIOs. I used an AIO for my original HOXL (can't remember which atm, though). The Universal Rumrunner works for that device, too. I just used it on my bro's HOXL.

Using a S-OFF method from the ONE forums might work, but I' definitely try to find something from the HOXL forums first.
i'm also one of the t-mobile branded people who can't achieve S-off via firewater :/
I'm on the ARHD 31.6 ROM which is an 4.3 ROM
HBOOT is aswell 1.55

Welcome to Firewater
What firewater can do for you:
- S-Off your HTC device
- Unlock yout bootloader
There are two methods which can be used to achieve S-Off:
- Method n.1: to be used with and HTCDev unlocked/rooted device;
- Method n.2: temp-root method, to be used if you don't want to unlock your device through HTCDev (it may not work with all devices);
Prerequisites
- Working adb on your PC (Windows, Linux, OSX, etc. are all supported);
- HTC drivers installed and working
- HTC sync removed (not closed - REMOVED)
- All other phone software removed or disabled (Samsung Kies, PDANet, etc.)
- A working internet connection on your device (Wifi, 3G, 4G, etc. are all supported). There is no way around this requirement, don’t ask;
- USB debugging enabled on your device;
- 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;
- Do not attempt to run firewater from a terminal emulator on your device. You MUST use adb along with a PC;
- A supported device. Firewater *should* work with most modern QUALCOMM based HTC devices, including (but not limited to) the HTC One, HTC Droid DNA, HTC One S, HTC One Max and many others.
Instructions: method n.1 (normal, rooted device method)
Once you confirm you meet the above pre-requisites, it’s time to get started.
- 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;
- Ensure that lock screen security is disabled on your device (no passcode lock, no pattern lock, no face lock);
- Download Firewater Search the download from the official site;
- Push, prepare and execute Firewater:
Code: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 - Agree to the terms and conditions you are prompted with;
- Allow the exploit to do its work;
- Profit.
Instructions: method n.2 (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.
- 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;
- Ensure that lock screen security is disabled on your device (no passcode lock, no pattern lock, no face lock);
- Download firewater Search the download from the official site;
- Download temproot Search the download from the official site;
- Push, prepare and execute temproot and Firewater:
Code: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 - Agree to the terms and conditions you are prompted with;
