Similarly! This is the new version 1.92.709.1.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
For 1.9x you'll need to unlock/root the device before using sunshine.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Refsav:
Thank you. And it is likely that the new version of SunShine is correct?:confused:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
The 1.90+ update broke temproot, it will take some time to fix it, probably a few months. You can still unlock with HTCDev, flash twrp, flash supersu and use sunshine for s-off.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CareRaja:
Hi, there.

I'm from Chile and this is my first HTC experience. I got HTC 10 last week and I'm making my way into it.

Is it convenient to use S-on/off? How does it work? Once the apk. is installed on my device, do I need to root or will the apk do everything for me?

Thanks in advance, this is an awesome community.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
SunShine does not install su.

If you are about 1.90.xxx.x then you have to unlock, and root with twrp first, if lower than 1.90 then sunshine will temproot the phone and work its magic without being prerooted

Install app

Run App

Pay

Let app reboot phone, after reboot..

wait for app to reopen (if after 2 minutes it doesnt reopen then reopen it yourself)

run app until it turns phone off

Complete at this point

Thanks, man.

This is what I am: 1.92.709.1

Is it too hard to unlock and root using twrp? From what I got, I can't use Sunshine, since I'm above 1.90. Anyways, I'd rather have permanent root and unlock.

And again, of course, thank you so much.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Unlock with htcdev.com

flash newest twrp from http://twrp.me

then flash newest supersu (2.76+)

then you can use sunshine
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CareRaja:
You mean htcdev? Then clic on "unlock bootloader" and so on. Then, with the twrp I can use the last update. Am I right? There's the 3.0.2-2 version.

Once phone's unlocked with 3.0.2-2, will automatically install the newest supersu?

Sorry for all these questions, but I'm so new to this. (And English is not my native language).

Thank you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Yes htcdev

Get latest from here

you will have to download and flash supersu 2.76+ in twrp
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CareRaja:
Is there brick risk doing this? I'll give it a try tomorrow morning.

Thank you.

So: Unlock and then flash with twrp using the latest version in order to get root supersu. Am I going the right path?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Yep. Unlock, flash twrp with fastboot. Flash SuperSU from twrp. Then run sunshine if you want s off.

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] sorry to bother you, but unfortunately when I have to S-OFF a HTC device is always "squeezing ass" like first time.

I'm unlocked, TWRP 3+, Venom 2.9.0, haven't manually flash any kernel (boot.img still stock).

I search the thread about compatibility issues with Venom's ramdisk.

But anyway I performed Sunshine's tests to discover compatibility: allowed SU access with "temproot" and all tests seems fine, I'm in the final pay step.

First I'll perform a backup of my data partition.

Just asking to be sure doing right and asking if I'll have to format internal SD after S-OFF.

Thanks a lot for your work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
If your device is s-on/locked and you are gonig to s-off/locked then no wipe will happen

if you are s-on/unlocked, then it will wipe

if you are s-on/locked going to s-off/unlocked it will wipe

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION]... Quick question.

Just received an update 3.37.605.13 from Verizon for my htc m9. My m9 is s-off and unlocked. Running stock with root.

Is it safe to let update?

Will I need to run sunshine again?

Thanks for your time and sunshine!

R...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
For all modern phones that are rooted/otherwise modified, you want to return to stock or use a rom for updates.

If you go to stock, DO NOT LOCK OR S-ON the phone, do not.

No need for sunshine
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PippoX3:
S-OFFed, thanks a lot. Another time "the better spent 25bucks".

I did a backup of data partition. Once finished the S-OFF process, waited the turn off. Turned on in download mode, verified the status, recovery, discard decrypt, wiped every partition, once at time. Flash rom, restored data partition. Booted. Again working. Thanks a lot again.

Why should him won't return stock just to update firmare from OTA?

Isn't better wait to find a flashable firmware from bootloader/dowload mode?

Less work, I think, than re-lock bootloader again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Thanks, depends if an RUU if available for current and how fast he wants to update
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Lurking:
Ok, this confused me. Like the OP, I'm S-OFF and Rooted on the stock Verizon rom.

So, do I take the OTA update without doing anything else since I'm still stock? Will the OTA remove Root and will I need to re-run Sunshine?

Just hoping for some clarification. Thank you!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
You dont want to OTA rooted phones.

To update, flash a stock RUU then take all available OTAs.

Do not relock or go s-on.

After all OTAs are taken, flash twrp and supersu.

No need for sunshine if you are s-off

I had two Razr M’s running CM12. I wanted to upgrade so I bought a Moto Z. I sold one of my Razr M’s and the second one I was going to use with my Moto Z, swapping sim cards but I messed up the sim tray in my Razr M with a adaptor. I bought a Razr M off of eBay and was bummed it was running 4.4.2. Then after a lot of searching I found a root app and then stumbled upon SunShine. WOW! I flashed TWRP and now I’m restoring one of my CM12 Backups. This is just too cool.

A big thanks to all that worked on SunShine and Hydrogen Peroxide
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ParalyticSJ:
Hi,

I have an HTC Desire U (gsmarena.com/htc_desire_u-5261.php) , which is running Android v4.0.3. I wanted to use your application, Sunshine S-OFF, however, the application fails to even install on this phone. It says that "there was a problem parsing the package". I guess this is because Sunshine S-OFF doesn't work with higher Android versions ONLY?

I'd like to know if that's the problem why it isn't working on this phone and, if there's something else I can do to S-OFF this phone. Or maybe there's an alternative / older version of your application that would support it?

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
If a newer version of android exists for your phone, flash it, and try again, otherwise look into older tools
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ParalyticSJ:
Thanks for the swift reply.

I have invested hours and hours worth of time into this phone, previously. First of all, the phone is rooted, however, I cannot remove ANY system application. If I try to do so, the phone reboots and re-instates itself to its original state. I'm guessing this is because of being S-ON?

Anyway, so the problem is, I've tried to flash a couple of different ROMs, but the S-ON interferes with that, and as I said before, the phone keeps rebooting, the moment I try to change anything or flashing anything. It just won't let me do anything whatsoever to it. Several months back, I tried your application but it didn't work back then either.

Then, I proceed to follow all instructions religiously and tried RumRunner. It got upto the point where it said "Damn ... the seal is too tight ...." and then later said something along the lines of "This won't work. You cannot get S-OFF using RumRunner no matter how many configurations you try ...." or something along those lines. Pardon me, it was a while back, so I don't remember the lines, verbatim.

Anyway, so with RumRunner out of the way, I tried looking into Fire-Water, but that's totally dead, including the website, which points to SunShine's website and obviously, I've heard that FW won't work in any case, without the website (network dependency, I reckon).

Apart from those two, I'm not sure which other "older tools" I would / could need to try? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Help me get this phone out of this hell, please! :laugh:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
maybe revone?

I can only provide help for sunshine
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ParalyticSJ:
I understand.

By the way, I tried RumRunner all over again with a different "boot.img" than before and it worked! My old, backup phone (HTC Desire U Dual Sim - T327w) is now finally S-OFF!

Thanks anyway!

need a little tech support advice

Hello,

I have sunshine on several of my phones, works great!

Quick question, on my HTC M8 Sprint I installed sunshine and I am S-off, I know sunshine can unlock boot loader also, how do I do that? Everytime I run sunshine it just says already unlocked or whatever and no options.

How do I use sunshine to unlock boot loader?

Thanks in advance guys!

Cheers,

disco
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
If you used SunShine, then your bootloader is also unlocked, on the m8 SunShine does both at the same time.

If you set it back locked/relocked, then you can either restore the device and s-on it, then run sunshine, or use htcdev.com
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jshamlet:
You don't. If you have a root shell and S-off, you can manually change the bootloader lock state.

Sunshine removes root after crash on second test

HI,

I have an HTC One M9 with stock Marshmallow. It's bootloader is unlocked , has TWR 3.0.2 and is rooted with SU 2.64. The problem is that when I run Sunshine app (version 3.4.8) my cellphone passes the first test. Then some time during the second test the sunshine app crashes and after that the root app is removed so I need to flash SU again to regain root.

So Im asking for any help to be able to run sunshine successfully in my phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Are you running a rom? Having to reflash su afterwards is odd, sign that something else is going on.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] omontero:
No Custom ROM. Latest Stock Mashmallow from AT&T. The weird thing is that I updated SU using the playstore and then all the test worked so I proceded to purchase the license succesfully.

Now the problem is that the app is crashing during the unlock / s-off process and is deleting the root so I haven't been able to S-Off my phone :(

Thanks in advance....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
If you ahve to reflash root each time, something seriously is out of whack on your firmware. I would reflash stock and then supersu 2.65
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] omontero:
Ok. Ill do that.

One question when I reinstall Sunshine will it autodetect that I bought a license?

Sorry guys but I had to do a little bit of thread cleaning to remove some off-topic chatter.

Please try to keep the discussion related to Sunshine only for Motorola and HTC devices. We all know that the Sunshine team has unlocked other devices, and if you have a question about one of these other exploits, please ask about it in that device's Q&A forum. As you can see from this thread, there are users with questions about getting Sunshine to work on the supported devices and off-topic chatter just makes it harder for everyone to keep track of what is going on.:good::good:

Hey I've been looking up ways to successfully unlock my HTC desire 526 Verizon prepaid phone's bootloader I'm running 5.1.1 android version and I have tried HTCDEV but it didn't work like the videos people post!! I also have S-ON still as well I just want a little help with taking control of my device so I can root and install custom roms... I also still have the stock recovery installed on it and I can achieve a temp root using kingroot but it is very limited to the freedom I am looking for..

Why so much for an unlock?? $25 dollars? I can see maybe $10 but damn...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KennyG123:
Because of the hundreds of devices they had to purchase to make it work, through testing, bricking, buying more devices, updating with every firmware update on all the devices supported here.. Plus their college education and know-how. Don't like it? Create your own and sell it for $10.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jshamlet:
I would add that it also gives them an incentive to keep doing it, as opposed to all those "bounties" that never paid out. I've only bought it once, because I intend to keep my M8 for at least another 6 months to a year, but I'm glad to see they will likely be around next year when it's finally time to upgrade.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
It is expensive and time consuming to develop, and maintain. It takes time from our families, and other hobbies. We don't force people to buy it, we dont stop people from making competing software, we even publish details of many of the vulnerabilities used.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] simonbigwave:
ya create your own..but price has something called intangible asset ie "goodwill value" also. $25 is a bargain for the app stability and value. But if say you or anyone else tried do same for $10 the next question is who do you trust? I wud trust [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] apps, but maybe not others as much..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sjpritch25:
I too trust jcase, beaups, and the other dev's. I shipped my $700 device to jcase to s-off, when the app wasn't capable of unlocking the HTC 10. I wasn't the only one, I know a number of people did it with no issues at all. I understand that $25 is a lot of money for some, but Sunshine is not just a standard android app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Uzephi:
To reiterate the cost. Get a Java card with 500 s-off tokens... We had to do this for the Verizon m7 before an exploit was found... The community Banded together to buy a card and one person trusted s-off put phones. Turned out to be roughly $20 per s-off... That is official tool and it will put a flag on the phone HTC will notice when servicing the phone, voiding warranty...

$25 for something where i don't have to send my phone to another user and permanently voiding my phone's warranty?! Totally worth it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] simonbigwave:
and the "after sales service" of [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] and [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] dev team is second to none. when i had a few issues, they were immediately on to it and they had proper process and walked me thru where my device might hv gone wrong on the way. all was sorted swiftly.. i was very impressed with that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
We just released SunShine Version 3.4.12. Its built-in temproot was updated to support all known HTC 10 firmware versions. That means no HTCDEV unlock required for all HTC 10's.

Hi there. After running the compatibility tests successfully, I decided to buy a license. I bought it in-app, and it said that Paypal was being slow and to reopen the app. I did that and payment had processed and the app did it's thing. Upon the device rebooting itself, Sunshine did not re-open like it said that it would. I waited 5 minutes and manually opened it, and it is making me restart the process. I've now retried multiple times. What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: I should mention that I'm running 6.21.605.3 on a Verizon HTC One M8.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bmwbasti:
Guys just a question and absolutely no offense against your monetary system. I have already paid twice (HTC One M8 and HTC 10) and will have to pay a third time because of the replacing of my HTC 10. And I really like to pay the small fee for such a useful software and the great and fast support.

Now my question: Would it be possible to make the function of unlocking the bootloader free of charge? It would be fantastic for people that mind the registration at HTCDev and the possible insulting of warranty. And for S-Off it would be have to be paid anyway.

Kind regards
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
For most carriers you can unlock free through htcdev.com.

There is no trivial way to change how this works in sunshine, and it would undermine our project as a whole
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bmwbasti:
Hi jcase, please don't get me wrong. It wasn't some kind of demanding but rather only a question or suggestion.

As I sad I think a lot of people would be happy to be able to unlock the bootloader without risking the warranty through HTC ;)

But as I said before I will S-Off anyway and so I will pay anyway ;)

Thx for your answer.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
I understand, but there is no difference in the cost of producing a true htc unlock v/s a true htc s-off. It would be the same cost to develop.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bmwbasti:
