I'm so exciting like waiting for jailbreak one more:)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] drmoeed:
Tentative ETA ...

First 10 days of March ...

So, I do multiple visits/day on the thread, Twitter and rootninja website ...

Can someone suggest how to wait in these tentative days ... ??? (:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CoLiran:
The 10 days are not over yet... ?

You're not the only one. I don't know how many times I watch the thread for the release of sunshine 3.0
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] drmoeed:
I'm waiting for last 6 months ....

It's going to be an exciting time ahead if it get released within tentative ETA given by jcase and beaups ...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigbear6708:
Just wait dude! As I have had other HTC device before, it will get harder to unlock and s off. Do it now in case u want it later.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] egzthunder1:
Here's a thought... Stop posting and be patient. This thread has been cleaned multiple times by multiple mods, both jcase and beaups have asked you all to be patient and to stop filling the thread with ETA and nonsense posts. They both check this thread each and every time one of you posts something because... Wait for it... This is a support thread and they provide the needed support to those who need it. By posting here, you make them stop whatever they are doing and look here to check out just how ridiculously impatient you are.

Now, unless any of you has a real, valid support request which actually requires either of them to come and reply... Please think twice before you post. We do not want to start banning people over this, but we won't hesitate to do it if this continues...

Thank you for your cooperation.

Just one quick question.

Is there a chance to support HTC One X (s720e) EndeavorU with Tegra 3?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Nope, sorry
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aqi1992:
Hi. Does anyone know how to check s on or s off in lollipop official update? I can't seem to find fastboot option under power.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] radkor:
Power off your phone, then press and hold volume down and press power still holding down volume down button. Phone will boot into bootloader. There you can see if you're S-ON or S-OFF.

There's no "fast boot" option in power menu in Lollipop ( at least in 4.16.401.10). It was on Kit Kat 4.4.4.

And remember: "fast boot" option in power menu in settings is totally different from "fastboot" mode on bootloader.

Sunshine won't work on my M8 International

Tried to gain S-off with the latest sunshine apk. This is the message I received when I proceeded into gaining S-off, " Debug Kernel/Ramdisk.... Your device has a debuggable ramdisk(ro.debuggable=1) You need to flash a non-debuggable boot.img. stock would be best". I'm using Viperrom 2.0.1. I need to S-off to change my CID and MID and then do a whole lot of other stuff that requires S-Off. Does anyone know what I need to do to S-off my device? Very appreciate, many thanks, so help please. Wow.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] drmoeed:
Flash a stock Rom or near to stock Rom ... Like ARHD or Maximus HD .... Sunshine won't work on Viper ROM ...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mannyelite:
I had the same thing happen, jcase sent me a zip to fix the non debuggable kernel issue. But for S-Off you'll still need to wait for 3.0 to come out is my understanding. if you want i can fwd you the same .zip jcase sent me so you can flash via recovery.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] desighee69:
i tried a near stock rom by Maximus HD and sunshine gave some incompatibility error when i tried gaining S-off. Spoke to one of the guys at Sunshine and they said wait for the sunshine 3.0 update, that should smoothly do the trick. Thanks for the Suggestion drmoeed. Btw i noticed that it says you're from Lahore? that's pretty sick. I'm Karachi :)

Mannyelite i'd appreciate if you send the zip or the link to it. The only question i want to ask is that my MID and CID don't match, so are there any chances of my phone getting bricked if i flash the .zip?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] setezacaron:
With sunshine 3.0 I'll be able to s-off with a Vernon Rom?

Or will be need to flash a ARHD / Maximums Rom?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ravish_919:
There's a thing called search.

Just read the 3rd post above yours.

No human can make it even clear than that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mannyelite:
Here's the link i was given at the sunshine support chat. As for the MID / CID discrepancy, i'd recommend asking in that same Support chat before flashing, as i can't really tell you what might happen and i'd hate for something to happen to your phone if u were to flash the zip.

I (jcase) am without internet at home at this time, 3.0 will be this week, but dont know what day pending network repairs.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Shadow Death:
I have/will have a problem and a question for jcase. I previously paid to have my current HTC One M8 unlocked using sunshine when I first got it. Unfortunately the SIM card reader stopped working and it's being replaced via warranty. My question is will I have to pay the fee all over again to unlock, s-off, and root my replacement M8?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Alton (Halo 2):

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] darkenedpath:
No. License should stay with the phone. So s-off again with sunshine is free.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Shadow Death:
With the phone? The problem is that they are sending me a replacement. :/
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] darkenedpath:
If it's a replacement, then yes, you have to pay again. But it's well worth it. If you truly want s-off. I have to pay again since I have a newer one with hboot 1.61 on it. There is no other method, and $25 is a small price to pay since nothing else works, and this is the best method imo.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Anton42:
If you replace the motherboard serial number has changed and will have to pay again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Shadow Death:
Damn.... That's about what I figured. Oh well. I don't mind, I just wanted to make sure first. My phone stopped recognizing sim cards all together so Verizon confirmed that it's flat dead...

Oh well.. Thanks guys.

wwe latest is 3.19 bootloader
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Deadeye*:
I'm guessing this has been mentioned but still find this strange, i've used Sunshine before on my M8 but because SIM tray stopped working they replaced some parts and got my old phone back, but when i try to use Sunshine again i'm getting Incompatible At this time SunShine can not work on you phone and so on.

Does any one know whats changed why would i be able to used 3 months ago and i cant?

ROM is stock, only thing i've done is Unlock Bootloader and ROOT
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] radkor:
Service centre also updated your firmware/software to newer version that is currently not supported by Sunshine 2.x. You need to wait for 3.0 version.

It's around the corner. Should be in this week.

If you bought Sunshine before servicing your phone and your phone's serial numbers doesn't changed, 3.0 will do the trick again without the need to pay again as license is tied to the phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] leandronb:
Hi guys. When sunshine 3 goes live it will be just an apk that we will run and s-off automatically our devices? Do I need to be rooted before trying sunshine? I want to be prepared, and right now I am fully stock but unlocked bl.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Scramjet:
If you have a fast and non-metered internet connection, head over to the download folder on your internal storage and delete the zip file. Or else, just rename it, by saving the name as a text file elsewhere, then you can rename it back when you want to update. If not, you can just move it over to a PC and send it back.

I recommend deleting as you might corrupt the zip file by renaming or moving it back and forth. Software Update will prompt you to download the package again; you can just hit 'Dont download' and you can download it as and when you need it.

Is it safe to take latest OTA 5.0.1 on european m8 to gain on the future s off? Or better stick on kk?

Work great ....installed the Maximus 5 ROM...and boom...run the sunshine, and it worked first time!!! AWESOME ...Well done dev :good: Well worth the $25...:good::good::good:(after a month of waiting...)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Blairware:
Just a thought. I wonder if, after you have saturated what the market will bear @ $25, if you would consider a price reduction to say, $15 or similar. I am NOT suggesting that this exploit, nor all your hard work are somehow not worth the $25. They most undoubtedly are worth every penny and more. What I am suggesting is that there is a population of folks, perhaps younger Android enthusiasts and people that, well... just are damn broke, that want what this app offers;want it badly in fact, but simply find the cost a bit difficult to handle. I can see the argument that the phone is not some budget special and they managed that, but it's also true that they may have struggled to do so, had it subsidized, or bought on payments.

I myself have a One M8 that I need to get replaced under warranty for some cosmetic bs with the front grills being uneven, and would do this, but since it's per device, I can't really do it 2x. Anyway, it's a consideration, and I would be willing to bet that a lot more folks will give it up at that kind of price. I figure you all put a fair amount of consideration into where to price this thing. Just wanted to see if you would consider these things. I truly respect what you do, and think you deserve compensation for your contributions, as well as all the crazy and annoying questions you have to field. Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dmo.jr:
Well actually it's not about the price it's about paying

There are lots of folks like me who can't pay this because

We don't have access to paypal and we can't ask someone to pay it for us because it only support inapp purchases!! That's the problem !!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
We are working on adding other payment options. What payment options would you suggest?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
It accepts credit/debit cards without a paypal account.

We are working on other solutions.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dmo.jr:
Well about the payment methode

I would like to buy the licence of sunshine from a website

I mean we are gonna buy the licence and give u the confirmation code and ur gonna get us a code

Exactly like other famous products!!!or maybe buying from google account i donno if it's doable!!

And thnx for ur hardworks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Factors used in determining the price were:

Work and time involved (it took a long time)

Tool and hardware costs (Good tools are expensive, so are test devices, esp when you are beaups and overwrite the partition table)

Number of complaints from wife/children about not doing something (Sleeping on the Sofa sucks)

How much wine was consumed during development (this was expensive, seriously this was expensive)

and other factors.

When it came down to it, we figure if a user can afford to void the warranty on a $723 phone (this is what I paid for my m8 on release day at AT&T), then they can also afford to pay $25 to further void it. If we thought we could recoup our costs, and buy enough wine/hardware for the next round at $1 we probably would have gone $1, but careful study of the market determined otherwise.

The per device restriction is the only logical way to avoid piracy in this case. If it was a per email, or per sim card situation, we would have license sharing (piracy). In this case, we can only blame society's attitude towards software piracy. The world seems to think software doesn't cost money, time nor emotions to develop and that those that devote their life to it do not deserve to be paid. Society is wrong, and sometimes society sucks (this is why im trying to move further from people).

We are currently a long way from buying our yachts, in fact I'm not sure how much yachts cost, but I doubt we could even rent one for few hours at this point. We have a ways to go before we catch [MENTION=617884]Koush[/MENTION].
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
If you have a debit or credit card you can buy it from the app without a paypal account (i do believe the paypal sdk is actually just loading a website in a webview).

Other solutions as soon as time allows
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] extract1:
I don't see why we have to pay so much just because beaups managed to screw up a phone during development and recoup your leisure activities(Wine). I do realize that it would take a lot of time to make this app, but then again a lot of apps take lots of time to develop and you don't see developers selling them for anywhere near $25.

Also this app is designed for a smaller market share of people, since the majority of phone users aren't interested or don't know about the Rooting/Custom ROM's scene due to warranty, time constraints and various other issues. Wouldn't it be better idea to sell this app for $5-$10 for the intended audience rather then a smaller subgroup of kids who live with their parents and have tonnes of pocket money that throwing $25 on this app isn't a big deal?. Seems like everyone has forgotten the value of a dollar in today's society.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nateboi81:
Or you could argue because it has a smaller market it's harder to recoup costs. Seriously....it's 25 bucks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gagdude:
yeah, we forgot the value of the dollar in this society. that's why we paid $600+ for this phone right? If you own an M8, you're considered pretty ****ing wealthy. Stop being a cheap ass.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cyrusct82:
If you were [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION], [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION],..... and if you have developed this app screwing a couple of phones and losing time that you normally spend with your family would you consider to give it free or with 5$.

I think that you would have sell it with 50$ or +. Isn't that right? First put your self in the place of the devs then talk.

If your answer is that you would give it for free I have one more question for you.

Do you want to come at my home and work for me for free with your own materials and tools without food and money?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sjpritch25:
Just purchased my M8 on swappa and forgot to ask what firmwire version it was on. But I got lucky and it was on 4.4.2, so the Sunshine is shining bright. Hopefully Jcase will get his internet back and 3.0 will be released soon. I find it amazing how fluid the whole process was.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] russjr08:
I'm a different person from the one you originally replied to just a quick heads up. :P

Anyways, I just got a new m8 which came preloaded with 4.4.4, tried running Sunshine but it said it's not compatible with my device ATM... I'm trying to stop the OTA from downloading... It downloaded and I hit install later. However, I don't see a zip in the downloads folder. Has it already moved it to a secure location?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] schneid:
Same thing for me. It's in \cache\fumo as OTAPkg.zip. I wasn't sure how to handle it so I moved it and dropped in an empty text file named the same thing in its place. Don't know if that will stop it from reappearing or not.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Scramjet:
I suppose each device has its own quirks. As far as I remember, it should be in /sdcard/download/, that's where all my OTA zips have been saved on all my phones (starting with Sensation XE, going to One X for a a little while, then now the One M8).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] darkenedpath:
I'm sorry for a dumb question, but I have a dev edition m7. Factory unlocked bootloader of course as you guys know. If I run sunshine 3, will it throw the red text warning running sunshine? I already have root, but was just wondering if it done that. Sorry, looked through the posts and more, and if I overlooked it that's my mistake. Thanks guys.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Uzephi:
Ever since a few generations ago (Butterfly, DNA, etc), going s-off will throw the red warning text on HTC devices. It doesn't matter if it is a dev edition or not. S-off isn't supposed to be on public phones as the warning states.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MadBastard:
When you s off your m7 ,then you can flash firmware with modified hboot .Red warning will gone
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] darkenedpath:
I should of said it, but the text isn't there right now. I was more or less wondering if sunshine turns it on. Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MadBastard:
no it will not.only if you flash custom rom ,red warnning will appear.nothing to do with s off.so probably you are on stock rom .am i wrong ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] darkenedpath:
Yeah, stock Rom. But isn't unlocking with HTC dev the reason it turns on, not flashing Rom? Sunshine does unlock bootloader, but that is where the red text comes from and wonder if this method makes it show. Like I said, the dev edition comes unlocked bootloader from factory. Just didn't know if I need to prepare to flash hboot.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MadBastard:
Hmm ,maybe you're right.wait someone else confirm this
