And confirmed! Can't wait to get rid of ugly development test, bring on the custom hboot. I have only had the phone for not even 2 days and already s-off!

m03sizlak · Apr 7, 2014

I concur.

Looks like it's time to update my Hboot guide.

For some reason when I get to the command "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater" it's telling me "operation not permitted". Strange cause adb shell has superuser permissions...gonna try on my desktop pc.

I had that too.. check your phone's screen and accept the root request.

I can also confirm it works. I used the HTCDev Unlocked/Rooted method and am now S-Off.

Wow I am S-Off. That was quick and easy. Only complication was having to download an app (USBDebug) from the play store in order to enable usb debugging mode.

Settings/About/Software Information/More/ tap Build number 7 times. Adds Developer options. back to Settings just above Activate this device. Enables USB Debugging there.

I'm at a loss here.

C:\Users\Matt\Desktop\AndroidSDK\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130917
-tools>adb shell
shell@htc_m8whl:/ $ su
su
shell@htc_m8whl:/ # chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
Unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/firewater: Operation not permitted

supersu shows in its log that it allowed "shell"...when i type the cdmod command i am receiving no prompts on the phone screen. should i be?

last line tells me you are not in the adb shell anymore. since thats a response from windows are you sure you are not getting kicked out of adb shell.

your case IMO seems to be the system write protection.

Why don't you use the wp_mod.ko from flare.

this is the guide someone wrote on the htc m8 dev forum just to clarify
first reboot to recovery and mount system go to the file manager and you should've downloaded the module from the htc m8 forum here on xda.
copy the module to system/lib/modules and chmod 644
reboot
open up terminal and type su
then
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
to verify that is loaded type lsmod and see if is loaded.
last thing go to system/etc/ and find the file init.installrecovery.sh and add
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
to the end of the file save and exit and reboot.

now when you reboot and you open terminal and type lsmod the wp_mod should be loaded and it should say permanent.

now try fire and water again.

FlowingAway · Apr 7, 2014

Thank you @chemjb it wasn't even that complicated. I guess something went wrong when I flashed the supersu zip the first time. I flashed again and this time it took. Worked first try after that. S-Off and ready to roll.
