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.

    /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.

It worked!!!

Thanks a lot! It worked like a charm...
Tried rumrunner but without success. Firewater did it in under 30 seconds! Amazing! :)

I have a German Telekom based One Max with 2.46 hboot (T6UL).

Thanks for your work!

Use rumrunner on VZW One Max, worked like a charm for me. Fully bone stock when I ran it, worked first try.

    thanks a lot i do have adb & fastboot already. here's what im getting in terminal window when i'm entering adb commands:

    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.
