[Root] WeakSauce APK - 1.0.1

So after we use firewater for s-off and install custom recovery and flash su we will be fully rooted with all the benefits thereof?

Install the WeakSauce app, run it hit agree.

It will root your device, however only /system/xbin will be writable.

Then install SuperSu from the market ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu )

On boot (well about 30 seconds after full boot), WeakSauce will re-root your device.

Uninstall app and reboot to unroot.


If you are on a Verizon HTC One m7 (not m8), you can then use http://firewater-soff.com/ to s-off. After s-off, uninstall WeakSauce, and use a custom recovery to install su.

do we just use the regular firewater method or use weak sauce as-well?

If someone were to purchase a M8 for your dev purposes, which model would be preferred? I'm assuming Verizon since it's the most locked down.

Hey mate I know this might sound silly but would this work on my m7 even though it's not a verizon one its a UK one on 3 network, I'm asking because I want root but I don't want to unlock my bootloader

jcase, this is the best news I've had all day. It worked great for me. Expect a donation soon.

I think beaups is after Verizon, im after gsm so it doesnt matter either way

I'll see what I can come up with.

Appreciate the work you guys do!

Stupid question but does the superuser app matter?
