If you don't want (or can't) create a paypal account, then you could use a Paypal prepaid card to buy it. I really doubt there will be another way to s-off anytime soon...

i was not aware that firewater had been discontinued and reached the very end of the process receiving "/data/local/tmp/firewater[2]: syntax error: '(' unexpected"
since i could not complete the installation is there any damage that can be done if i just left my phone as it is now

I pretty sure there is nothing to worry about. Just delete firewater and you'll be fine.
not working here , cmd showing and unwanted msg.

Yep firewater no longer works this thread should probably be closed now. It's has nothing useful to offer. Only confusion. [emoji53]
Hi there,
Just wondering if you can help. I'm stuck and dumbfounded and still wondering why when I flash and execute firewater nothing happens. I don't see any notes about agreement and saying yes. when I type the last command /data/local/tmp/temproot nothing happens. I'm rooted running custom ROM and flashed with TWRP with Hboot 1.57. Trying to get back to stock. I have Super_SU installed and still not go. I was running Venom before and flashed another ROM. This is my third custom ROM now. Please help. Drivers are all installed and I can see my phone in ADB. I also can run adb reboot no problem. Please give advise. Thanks!

Maybe reading the last few pages of this thread could help.. lets start at page 181 and you'll find your answer at least 10 times in 5 pages... Its even said on this page (185) 2 and 3 posts before yours and also on firewater web page.

Not if your on hboot 1.56 or above. You will have to use Sunshine or stay s-on
yea but do you really want to pay about 1000$? it's not really cheap
@ghost maybe you or so could Close this thread? it's already discontinued and won't make sense to Keep the thread ..
Great if you have 2000 HTCs to s-off [emoji53] [emoji12] or you make a business from modding/repairing HTC phones.
$25 for Sunshine is still the best option for the average user :good:
Takes 2 credits, requires purchase of javacard. side note where did you find one cheap, i would like to have one here. Only place ive found them, that were verified sources, were quite expensive.
I'm trying to s-off a device but when I execute "/data/local/tmp/firewater" nothing happen. Any idea?

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;
- Allow the exploit to do its work;
