I encourage everyone to SUPPORT Sunshine. You pour your heart and soul not to mention hours and hours of your time into making software you should get paid for it. For someone to come along and demand something for free takes a lot of nerve. They did not have to release Firewater for free in the first place. They could have kept it for their own benefit. You don't want to pay for Sunshine? Don't . Go develop your own exploit. What? You don't know how? Oh, yeah that's right. That's why you are here in the first place. Its comments like this that keep these devs from wanting to release software like this in the first place. If I could find and develop exploits like this, I'll be honest. I wouldn't tell a soul. I would keep it to myself. No way I would deal with crap like this. People demanding your time and wanting it for free. Thinking they DESERVE it. End of rant.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
This very type of post is one of the reasons firewater was discontinued. Why should money and work be put into a barely functional product (it had not worked on most phones for a LONG time), when immature people were just going to make ridiculous posts and demands.

Since the release of SunShine, we have released at least 3 other free root exploits (Purpledrake, Stump, WeakSauce2), and for almost 6 months after SunShine was released beaups kept maintaining, and paying for the services behind firewater. I think I'm boycotting free tools until I don't have to listen to anyone whine about what I do with my time for at least 6 months.

Boycott it, as I could care not if you get s-off or not. While your at it, please stay out of our thread.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mdav07:
Some peoples nerves. I tell you if it wasnt for this group of guys I wouldnt have been able to unlock or root my last 4 devices. My device right now is currently not supported but if it was i wouldnt think twice about paying $25 heck id even pay $50 for their service an time. Please keep up the good work! Not everyone on here expects you to do work for free. i mean come on would you expect your mechanic to work for free? No you pay for the service an knowlage that they offer. Sorry for the rant i just been getting tired of people acting like they are intittled to something all the time.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kansasboy001:
I am sorry for my actions earlier, I was upset at the time and said some things that were not right. I thank the developers for all the work that they have done to get s-off over the years. To show my appreciation I just purchased sunshine and it works great!

Others who replied to my post, if you could please take my quote out it would be very appreciated.

Thank You

Having seen the vast wasteland that is the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note 3/4 forums, I am inordinately grateful for Sunshine S-off. Those poor folks over there have practically redefined Stockholm syndrome with comments like "Well I didn't need root anyway..."

Seriously, $25 is a pittance for the freedom to own your own phone - especially compared to the price of the phone. I'm on the Next program, but I know the retail price for my M8 was about $650.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mike_lammers:
I agree, but in my opinion it's still a large amount of money for an 'extra' on the phone I already paid for. Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate and want to pay for an other man's work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
The retort to that is its a large amount of time and money spent on an extra for someone else's phone. :P
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wooddale:
How come nobody complained about the Middle Man he was $45 and you sent your money to China.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lafont28:

Is there support for UK HTC one M8 on o2 with 4.4.4 or will I have to wait for v3.0?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] knudsen81:
You need to wait for 3.0

no, he don't have to. had a o2 4.4.4 device and successfully used sunshine.

precondition: unlocked/rooted, but these traces can easily be removed when s-off.

I have to m8 both on 4.4.4 the first could it s-off with sunshine and the second I couldn't

i'd say: just try it :) looks like there isn't a general formula for being successful on 4.4.4 or not.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] M17TT180:
What method did you use? I'm unlocked and rooted following vomers guide with twrp recovery, supersu installed.

Just get the 'At this time' message.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
That message means wait for 3.0
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] seadersn:
fugg... wasn't the case on mine, sry then. i unlocked, rooted, ran sunshine and it did it's job => s-off now. you can find my post which tells 'my story' on my o2 4.4.4 device somewhere back in this thread.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
3.0 Status

What it brings:

Total rewrite, with added support for more HTC devices. If you get the dreaded "at this time" error, 3.0 will support your device.

What it does not bring:

any added Motorola support

When:

As soon as we are satisfied with the quality of the work. Since we are charging money for this, we are going to be picky and it is not going to rush. Please do not ask for ETAs, we both have jobs and families. We are working on this as much as possible. When we are happy with it, it will be released. We believe this will be soon.

Again, please do not ask us for ETAs, do not email us for ETAs do not PM us for ETAs do not submit support tickets for ETAs. Answering these replies just means less time to test and fine tune.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] knudsen81:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
No, will still require something closer to stock.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gustav30:
The only time I could see an eta possibly being mentioned is for the poor folks like me who paid for sunshine, was s-off, but went back to s-on for a repair job at HTC.

Reason going back s-on for repair was more so HTC wouldn't swap my main board during the repair, like they did when I had them work on my M7.

HTC fixed my M8, looks like main board was not replaced, but they through the 4.4.4 RUU on it so I'm patiently waiting for Sunshine 3.0 so I can s-off the device that I already have a paid license for.

That is the only case I can see a warrant for a mention via pm or something. But only problem with that it, is that it would spread like wild fire like all other leaks do.

So I'm patiently waiting!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
That's the thing. Its not that we don't want to share the date, its that we don't know the date. We have no official 5.0 shipping firmware for testing and we have a few bugs to iron out still. Sometimes a bug takes a few minutes to squash, sometimes it takes weeks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joshyc5:
Tried to run the sunshine APK today so I could get S-OFF, and was greeted with an error along the lines of:

your device has a debuiggable ramdisk (ro.debuggable=1). You need to flash a non-debuggable boot.img, stock would be best.

Could not find any information on this, any help?

I can't flash a stock firmware as I'm s-off(right? I tried flashing a stock ruu but it failed), and I installed cyanogen using the dumb installer which in retrospect was a dumb idea as I can't return to stock now.

No but what error do you get

You can flash a stock like firmware

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] foodxodation:
I was just wondering what if i wanted to s-on again( which i had purchase the license to s-off), and maybe someday i wanted s-off the second time, do i need to pay for license again, or do i receive some kind of code to s-off again? By the way, great job the Sunshine team, Peace
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
No you wont have to pay again, as long as it is the same device. However we don't recommend going s-on, as at some point HTC may block sunshine.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] leandronb:
tried sunshine suinstaller today and nothing happened. just stays on a white screen so i intalled latest sunshine and tried temproot and no luck too. just to be sure, suintaller left anything in my device that should be deleted? i reverted to fully stock today, 4.4.4 and stock recovery cid_332. can't wait to use sunshine 3.0 to s-off and convert to dev edition. do you think that sunshine 3.0 will cover my device?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
suinstaller is for devices that are already s-off , and unlocked.

What error did sunshine give you?

htc one m8 latin version, cid_332, sw version 3.36.599.2. is unlocked via htc dev, and today i reverted to stock rom and recovery, no root.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Try unlocking your devices with htc dev, and rooting them through twrp. You can then try sunshine to get s-off, otherwise you will ahve to wait for 3.0

It looks like HTC is releasing lollipop hor HTC ONE M8 in the US.

Just a heads up, the M8 has hit the incompatible wall with 4.4.4 and ROM version 3.32.111.9. I will await version 3 patiently :). Hopefully Lollipop has not killed your v3 exploit :).

Thanks guys for your hard work~!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Souldrinker:
Because the file extension is .img and it pretty much is a disk image that you want to flash to the recovery partition.

The next step is to flash it using fastboot (or adb or the other options mentioned on the twrp site). I suppose you can try to find a small "fastboot package", but the official easy to get fastboot + adb is through the android sdk.

But this is probably not the right place to discuss that. Try and search for it and you should find lot of instructions how to proceed.

Want to share some cool info for you guys.

Just S-OFFed my second my running 4.16.401.8 Firmware via SunShine.

I only restored 3.28.401.9 TWRP Backup, rooted, installed SunShine and it worked..

So if anyone wants to S-OFF with Lollipop Firmware, you're good to go.

Btw, latest SunShine apk, 2.8.3.

Do I really need to unlock from htcdev before s-off

I downloaded sunshine app something about temp root.

when I press suinstaller the phone restarts?

A quick question for the OP's:

I have an un-SOFF-able 3.28.401.9 M8 with sunshine telling me that it's a known problem and your working on it (so I'm waiting for v3.0 for now).

I've seen that 4.18.401.9 is out (unsigned for now, but probably the signed OTA in a few hours/days), can I safely upgrade knowing that v3.0 will SOFF the new firmware too, or should I wait on 3.28.401.9 for v3.0 to come out that upgrade to Lollipop's FW?

Thanks!

Hey,

I have a HTC one M8 currently on ARHD 30.1 (lollipop)

Trying to run this app, pop up asks for root I accept it. Short delay with the spinning wheel then a message pops up stating "Sunshine was unable to gain root with SU, please ensure SU is functioning pproperly and try again"

I've updated SuperSU to the latest and other root apps work as they should.
