Please refrain from pre paying this bounty. Those who have recently prepaid will be refunded today. If you don't see a refund, pm me, it's possible I missed it among other normal donations.

[One (M8) General] v1rk:
Dont refund mine, thats one for a phone already done and dusted, second part will be later once released
[One (M8) General] enriquez90:
Mate, I don't want a refund, keep that for yourself (even if it's not that much). You deserve it.

Peace
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
Me also :)
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
Ok, fifteen quid will follow next week ($25 approx) as [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] did take the time out for me and the latter half when the tool is released. Think thats fair. I'm more than happy to regonise great work when i see it which is evidently whay you are doing but i have also got my mate's backs on here ;)

:good:
[One (M8) General] alicious:
Roger that. Editing post, my apologies.

Im glad to here that theres a tool on its way, unless I read wrong somewhere ?, I cant remember how much I pledged now, when do we have to pay it?
[One (M8) General] mikeyinid:
I dont think anyone that has sent you money expects anything in return. Those that do, and are in "the bounty" have not sent you anything cus you haven't met their demands.
[One (M8) General] zedmarcus:
So taking into account the recent conversations taking place in this thread am I right in thinking that there is a new exploit and it will soon be released to the masses?
[One (M8) General] GraveDigger176:
that the thread gets so out of control was not my intention :( , but it is good to see that some friends vouch for someone:good:...............but now i have to clear some points about this situation

if i say i'm in with a pledge of whatever money i pay the pledge, provided the device or phone is still in my use and i have something of it :cool:

the point is, i don't use the m8 any longer so i can withdraw my pledge because i don't pay for others people fun :good:

some of my friends here stand in for me, because they thought beaups takes an offense on me with that what he wrote :cool:

the point is, i work every day and weekend as a bouncer (doorman), and I realize if someone wants to be kidding me or something like that and that what beaups wrote was in order and was no problem for me :good:

the other thing is that i'm tired of waiting for s-off for this fooked whelp ****y phone and i have no pleasure to wait much longer whether it gives s-off or not, so i met the decision that the m8 is not longer on my side and i go back to my m7 thats all :good:

so i also know that the devs who works on a exploit for this fooking whelp m8 are getting busy and tired. i'm sure when the devs find a way to get the tool worked wich is needed they release it ( the work of this guys is more then appreciate) :good:

that's all I wanted to say................and now back to topic :cool: :cowboy:
[One (M8) General] andreasyeah:
I wish I could donate or something, but I am going to study Computer Science next year and I am really tight on funds. Probably, if a new S-off exploit is found I will donate some amount of money but I prefer not to take any promises. Btw [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION], I can volunteer if you want as a tester, as long as I do not need to send you my M8. Whelp message victim here.
[One (M8) General] P4THOG3N:
So, I went to pick up my refurbished M8 today and was told that HTC did not have any more refurbished M8's to send them - a brand new retail device was sent instead. I attained S-OFF on the new M8 with a single attempt with firewater. I am very curious if I would have had the same luck with a refurbished..

I'll keep monitoring the thread, and will honor my bounty when a tool is released.

[One (M8) General] beaups:
Can you double check this transaction # please? I'm going through and refunding these pledge prepay things, but cannot find this one. I think I got through all the others.

Also, to reiterate, please don't prepay this bounty. Donations are always very much appreciated, but taking prepayments for a bounty we may not claim Is just not something I'm comfortable with.

Thanks!

[One (M8) General] P4THOG3N:
Apparently [MENTION=487576]teaman[/MENTION]dIRC just released a tool, guys: http://theroot.ninja

EDIT: Apparently, they're charging $25.00/device, which makes this a pointless update for this bounty thread. Disregard.
[One (M8) General] Lupus77:
Is this site legit? I have no problem with paying the 25 USD, as I already plegded 20 Euro. Only Question is: is this site legit and does it work with all m8?

Why won't the sunshine devs just reclaim the bounty and foss their exploit?
[One (M8) General] neilmcd:
Sunshine worked for me on latest stock rooted (1.54.401.10). Awesome job :D
[One (M8) General] dmo.jr:
And i think majority of the guy don't have access to visa or paypal!!!
[One (M8) General] neilmcd:
In that case, how were they going to pay their bounties?
[One (M8) General] jbwdevos:

[One (M8) General] blackice666:

[One (M8) General] ursubpar:
The new sunshine s-off requires you to pay $25.

They're taking off their bounty because they've already payed the developers once through sunshine.
[One (M8) General] mikeyinid:
Gotcha. I had to read back a few pages to figure it out. Should have done that before I posted :confused:

Oh wait...for the M8, ok.

M7 1.57 Hboot is what I thought, der...
[One (M8) General] x714x:
Sunshine can S-Off "modern" HTC devices regardless of which build or carrier, its a new exploit
[One (M8) General] Garmig:
The # is 1.57.531.7 and with the new exploit (sunshine) you can s-off your device.
[One (M8) General] oRAirwolf:

[One (M8) General] FitzysN6:
Strange, because others have said it doesn't work with android rev.. and it isn't compatible for me either ? What version of ARHD did you flash ?
[One (M8) General] elsworth1983:
Thanks guys Soff for me worked like a charm ?
[One (M8) General] ckpv5:
Is the kernel that you have the one comes with ARHD ? It should work with stock kernel but not on custom kernel.
[One (M8) General] FitzysN6:
I will try again later with stock kernel.

Thanks
[One (M8) General] ectodroid:
It worked with 7.0 here
[One (M8) General] globalm:
Works with ARHD 8.0 too. The small issue is that the phone will not reboot at the end of the process. I just waited 10 mins to be sure and then rebooted manually. S-off ok!!

Jcase says that there is a problem with ARHD reboot binary.
[One (M8) General] nuts77:
Same here. ARHD 8.0, no reboot after s-off but everything works. I'm on stock kernel too.

S-off achieved and finally got that Harman Kardon mod working properly. Me happy!

Please remove my pledge
[One (M8) General] oRAirwolf:
There is no need to ask to remove your pledge, Just get S-Off via Sunshine. All pledges have been negated by the in app purchase method,

Thanks alot for these links mate, it is something to start with right :) Yes its true that the current exploit does not help. Im glad that you are willing to share the code part to change the flag value.

[One (M8) General] andreasyeah:
I am sorry If I insulted anyone. However, even if it does not help anyone find a new exploit, as I said in my first post I would love to know how the current exploit works

[One (M8) General] dying4004:

If they released detailed information and source then HTC would just patch it faster and ruin it for the people like me that had no problems with firewater.

[One (M8) General] andreasyeah:
I know this is in the wrong thread, but I have to ask the question because the firewater thread is closed. I tried firewater and I got the whelp message. I have the stock sense rom(rooted). Is it possible that If I flash a custom ROM, it may produce a different result, or it just has nothing to do with the ROM?

It's the hardware not software ...

[One (M8) General] scotty1223:
what variant and build are you on?

there was a user in the firewater thread who was on a t mobile device. firewater worked just fine on my t mobile m8,so unless the theory is that newer or random batches are being produced with different hardware,im not sure why it didnt work.

if there is discussion of this elsewhere,please point me to it...

[MENTION=4301137]GraveDigger176[/MENTION] I dont think that [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] is saying that they understood the issues and they dont want to release a fix. I guess that he is saying that HTC understood where the bug is and now the exploit cannot be used anymore on this specific devices. Now a new bug is needed in order to develop a new exploit. And the question is: Is anybody looking for a new bug?

Correct me if I'm wrong jcase...
[One (M8) General] grentuu:
That confuses me.

I was early in getting the M8 and used firewater with the file transfer method to get S-Off. There were people at the same time saying no matter what they did (chugging 1,000s of bottles) it would not S-Off and subsequently when firewater was updated they got the 'WHELP' messgae.

This suggests whatever the issue is, it was present from the beginning in the hardware of some devices.

As always I could be wrong ;)
[One (M8) General] jcase:
Huh, I think it has been said more than once that there isn't a solution.
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] from your twitter account u had a tweet that HTC fixed an unreleased exploit that you were working on. Does this mean that maybe somebody who didnt perform an update can benefit from that exploit? There are a lot of desperate people in here willing to try, at least I am, since my device is SIM Locked :(
[One (M8) General] jcase:
Are there any that can't get root?
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
I dont think so... at least I rooted mine... This means that the exploit I am talking about was for rooting?
[One (M8) General] billydroid:
Just for the hell of it. I made a post in /r/Android on reddit linking this thread.

Can't hurt.

If anybody reddits, head on over and throw an up vote on it.
[One (M8) General] downwiththebanksters:
I need to write to /system (for battery monitor widget) and I think I need s-off to do that don't I? Even if I'm wrong, at the end of the day, I paid $750 for this device, so I should be "allowed" to do whatever I want, shouldn't I? I realise it is not your fault/problem, but bottom line is I'm glad people far smarter at this than I are going to war against these manufacturers who think they can dictate

anything

to those of us who own our devices outright. I can't do it with code like you guys, but I can try to make as much noise as I possibly can.
[One (M8) General] jcase:
You don't need s-off for that, and at the end of the day you bought a device with a known limitation.
[One (M8) General] Zorachus:
I had two different ATT M8's, both were easily rooted, installed custom recovery, and both S-Offed. Are some M8's not able to achieve this ?

Listen I don't want to be mean. But you just asked that question in a bounty thread for s-off. O_o
