It won't show anything, it's a hardware change between M8 handsets and some work others won't. If yours doesn't work now, it won't work ever unless the firewater (or other devs) get it working...

I doubt it's hardware, if it's implemented in the first place it must be software especially seeing as s-off can be achieved on any device with a java card, apparently.

Hi, recently I have bought an M8, unlocked it's bootloader via HTCDev, installed latest TWRP, rooted it by flashing SuperSU zip, and while trying to S-Off, got message that it doesn't work on my phone yet, so no S-Off available.
May be I'm doing something wrong?

Here's some info:

Code:

$ sudo fastboot getvar all

Does anybody here with the same phone S-Off'ed it via firewater?

If firewater doesn't work the only option is sunshine. No other way.

Yes and ? That's a fair price for s-off. The profit you gain for having it is well worth the money....

- lock the bootloader again
- flash recoveries from within the recovery or app. In other words no pc needed anymore
- return the phone back to stock 100% for warranty issues.
- down and upgrade the hboot anytime
- flash any firmware to convert the phone as it's unbranded if you have a branded one.

All nice examples.

And the choice to buy it or not is in the hands of the user. People should not complain that it cost a bit, be happy it's there. The firewater team also invested in the exploit, especially time and maybe also some bricked devices.

Cheers.

The Firewater team IS the Sunshine team

They were going to charge eventually, seeing as up til now it's been optional (and I'm gonna assume most didn't donate)
