Hi Rizwan,

Thanks very much for your tutorial. I'm stuck though, after all the steps, my adb shell exits with no messages while firewater is chugging the first bottle. The phone reboots, but still s-on. Any ideas??

Ok, I was able to finally get this to work. Some info in case it helps anyone:

HBOOT 1.57
T-Mobile One M7
cm-11-20140106-NIGHTLY-m7tmo
teaMseven_v57_CM11_CPUQUIET_BACK_MENU_HOME

Did as above, although firewater failed the first few times. I rebooted and kept trying, third time was successful. My phone is now s-off

Hi I am Enrico.
Is It possible to flash rom and kernel with hboot 1.57 on a device with hboot 1.56?

Hi guys. Will this work on one m7-ul , android 4.4.3, hboot 4.4.3 ? I have tried before but I always get the same message from firewater... It goes from bottle 1 to 12, and it always says this bottle is empty, trying bottle number (x) and so on, and in the end it tells me all bottles are empty and that I should restart my device and try again... I tried doing this on 2 different computers,and used 2 different usb cables... I have also tried all kinds of combinations of kernels and roms... I have root, unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.. I havent yet tried that combination from first post.. Please tell me why do I get from bottle 1-12 without getting s-off. Thanks in advance

Once you are there, nothing happens.
/data/local/tmp/firewater
