Why s off

What do I do? I've tried going back into recovery by holding power and volume down but that isn't working, it just says HTC on that white screen and nothing is happening. Please help me. I'm pretty sure I downloaded the wrong InsertCoin, of course I can't download the correct one now but if I get it on my computer is there a way to transfer it over to my device?

I held power and volume up and my screen went black then a second later turned back on to the HTC screen Are you sure you wish to reboot? Do you know how to fix this?

I keep screwing up and all of this is becoming so stressful. Those files are found in the same zip you downloaded to install them if you used my guide. Make sure you use the files that are located in the Mac install folder. For me it just doesn't say anything. Also tried different USB port, but to no avail.

Not sure about its merit, but so I've heard. Can you post a screenshot of you commands. Include what happens when you try and enter the adb shell command. Do you use Android File transfer? If not, install it and see if it can read your device.

Turn USB Debugging off and on and then manually kill adb. Can you check if fastboot can read your phone. Boot into bootloader mode and then run fastboot devices and see if your phone pops up.

It looks like you have the newest Hboot, which means you can't use firewater. I'm following this conversation with interest as I've just switched to Android. Try revoking USB debugging authorizations and then plugging in your device again to see if you get the RSA key popup again.

Sorry for spamming so much, i've tried many different roms and no different results, i dont know why i did expect it,. Having the same problem as the user above. It does says tampered on top. Most users are having issues with that Hboot version.

You may want to look into the sunshine tool. I've recently rooted using the guide here, and have tried endlessly to get my S-off.

I've downloaded all the programs necesary and still nothing happens. I forced it into recovery once more and had to restore to get my device funtioning. Any suggestions? I've been trying to figure it out for hours with no luck.

I've found what I think is the command, but then it gives much a long list of options and commands dealing with the device. Theres no command to install insertcoin. You just have to download it to your phones internal memory and install it via TWRP. My phone is part of Koodo and it is from Canada. I have tried googling why it doesn't work but I have come up with no answers.

The first comment was a phone from Australia but S-Off seems to be working with a lot of U. Have any insight you can share with me? When this message appears it usually means that your device is too updated to work. You can try to use a different ROM or flash an insecure kernel, but there is no guarantee that will work.

I was able to get to the firewater part, after a dab reboot my phone rebooted taking abnormally longer than usual After that I tried to push the file and was not getting anything but a big list in terminal. Was able to get the back up working force-restart with power and vol up and while it's about to restart press power vol down and try to install the insert coin again and the same thing happens. Download again the whole thing and tried to do it and nothing happen it froze on the same screen , any help?

Just to make sure we are on the same page you did this complete guide and go the successful message in firewater, but when you restarted your device it no longer booted to insert coin. After that you did a hard reset by pressing power and volume down and it booted back to insertcoin? And when you rebooted to recovery to reflash the ROM it is now no longer booting?

Hi thanks for your answer. The following happened: I did all your guides to get here many thanks btw! Everything was going great until installing the insert coin. After I did install it it took surprisingly long to boot with the red text described above.

When i tried to dab reboot and the issue taking longer than usual. Tried to do the dab reboot and then was that I got the original problem never booting. So i did the hard reset back to the backup recommended on step 3 lifesaver! After that I even tried to download insert coin again to see if it was the download that was faulty but it was madness all over again, the same thing happened.

Anything I might be doing wrong? I have downloaded some other versions of insert coin but is no good same error. ARHD should also work. Thanks man, I'm a total noob on this so I ended up going for Sunshine! Thanks for all the support anyhow, keep up the great work!

All the process is working fine, except when I launch the firewater, nothing happens. The program doesn't launch. After I launch it ones, the program is deleted and I have to disconnect and push it again to try again.

Everytime firewater gives me no output and the program just stops. Do you have any idea how to solve this? Any way to see the logs of firewater? Just to cover all bases you did root you device, give ADB root permission, and are using something SuperSU as your super user app right? Did you use ADB to backup to your computer? If you did then the backup is still wherever you told ADB to store it. That can be flashed back through ADB using this guide. You can try out sunshine to see if it will work on your device.

When I try to s off when bottle is open in last error remember golden rule patch with HTC help me please. Sounds like you updated your device and because of that the exploit that firewater uses has been patched. Hi following the steps to install firewater but I can't get the first command to work which is reboot. I get this. I tried skipping it and just try to push firewater but the command just hangs.

Had to activate by turning the developer mode on. Which one is the right one to install? Most of the ROMs takes 1 hour to download, it is true for others?

Unfortunately I missed the backup process somewhere or overwritten the backup file. The download speed will vary based on your internet provider. I did everything in this guide right up to running Firewater but I get the message below.

If firewater hangs for more than 2 minutes or device enters qhusb mode, h ld power for 60 seconds!! That means your device was patched to block firewater from working. You might want to check out Sunshine. I did everything in the instructions and firewater doesnt work. Is there any way to recover it? I've looking under Apps but no luck Airplane Mode is stuck in "turning off".

The app checks compatibility before you purchase it so quite reassuring you don't make an expensive purchase for nothing. I just made sure I had a good internet connection. I had previously tried firewater and got similar fail results as all of the other members have commented on. Hope this helps just make sure your phone meets the requirements as per the app. The error you are getting means that you did not push firewater to your device properly.

Can you list for me everything that you have flashed onto your device including kernels, ROMs and firmwares. Hi, I ran into the same issue with wifi. When i try to flash the recovery image to the phone via flashboot, I get the following error:. How do I go about getting back to the stock experience or any experience, for that matter with working wifi? Is this an issue with the RUU? What's the easiest way for me to get working wifi back? I'm fine with moving to GPE 5. Any guides you can point me to?

Thanks for your help. I'm having trouble with this RUU as well I'm not sure where the problem is coming in, but I'm having issues connecting my phone to adb and Fastboot while the phone is in the bootloader. I've tried connecting to two different machines using Windows 8.

All three setups are able to connect to the phone via adb while it's booted in the OS, but when it goes to fastboot, adb devices returns nothing. If I could fix the connectivity issue which I think is stemming from the phone , the I could probably have success with the RUU method. Right now I'm on:. Android 4. A22g I can send adb commands when the phone is booted in the OS and adb reboot bootloader works at that point, but once it loads into the bootloader, adb and fastboot no longer recognize the device.

Heres a collection of backups. After entering "Yes" slow dots are going across the screen. This has been happening for the last half hour. Is this normal? I followed the step until flashing InsertCoin.. Another problem is my up volume button is broken! Hey guys sooo firewater has been discontinued and by clicking on the link for firewater it only downloads a file named firewater that isn't firewater Can you give me a working firewater download?

I tried to look for one on google but it seems like all the firewater download lniks have disappeared :. Firewater doesn't work anymore.

Oh so you mean it has been patched with the software even if my M8 is an early model? I tried every program that should help to get that device S-Off during days, Use this guide. On trying to S-Off, this is where I am stuck. InsertCoin has multiple versions to download from. So, I decided to go on with the latest version. On downloading it, it downloaded as a folder and not a zip. I skipped step 3 big mistake, as my phone is empty and went to Step 4, cleared Dalvik, System, Cache and Data.

When I try to install, I didn't find anything there tried the image option too and tried rebooting, when I realized that the phone is wiped clean… Any help will be much appreciated. Was able to get through with the steps Was this information helpful?
