Thread cleaned again. Please remember to Not ask about ETA. It will be released when it's released. You asking is not going to make it happen faster. Thank you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Ok, time for an ETA LOL

We are aiming to beat Verizon for their 5.0 m9, which is due the first week of March. We might not beat it, but 95% change we will release in the first 10 days of march (lets hope we have no further delays!).

Change Log

Full 4.4.3 support (indian and hong kong users needed this)

Full 4.4.4 support (lots of people needed this)

Partial 5.x support (everyone but Verizon m7/m8 users at this point)

Full s400 Support (HTC Mini 2, HTC Remix etc)

No added Motorola support, sorry.

Verizon m7/m8 users, you will want to s-off/unlock before taking the 5.0 update, at this time we are unsure of our support for 5.0 on Verizon, we likely won't support it immediately.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Poor Grammar:
OK well this is second time I asked this bs question that wasn't answered I know you people are pretty busy getting money and hacking phones etc but when I was trying to purchase s-off I got a reply ASAP now that I have purchased it I can't get any help for my question which was Do I have to pay again to s-off because for some reason after s-offing my device installing custom ROM etc my battery or something went bad and phone no longer will power on so I didn't get to really enjoy it so when I get my replacement m7 which will have a different device id will I have to make another purchase?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gustav30:
This means sunshine will work with

T-Mobile USA with 5.0.1?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Yes, it may or may not ship with a temproot that works on 5.x, however it will s-off 5.0 devices, so you could possibly have to root through htcdev.com
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Uzephi:
It has been answered in this thread over and over. You will have to. The license stays with the serial number. So if HTC refurbs that phone and it keeps the serial number, someone else will have that license.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
I have no record of a support ticket under your name, nor do I have any emails from you. If I had, you would have had your answer. One license can be used over and over on the SAME phone. If you replace the phone, you will need a new license. This is covered on our site as well.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Poor Grammar:
Here you go I believe this is your company on the other hand this is crap that I have to purchase another license couple weeks later. :banghead:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
I'm not sure what your problem with me is. This is not a support ticket or email, its a receipt from paypal.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Poor Grammar:
I don't have a problem with you sir my question got answered and I was just showing you that I did purchase s-off. Yes it is a receipt from purchasing s-off correct

Nice, waiting for that, just got my m8 a few weeks ago with lollipop ?

Question

I have two HTC M8s one is Hong Kong variant HTC__622 with android 4.4.4 and the second one is an European variant T-Mob101 with android 5.0.1, now what I understand from your update that my second phone will be supported with Sunshine 3.0 but what about the Hong Kong phone? shall I accept the OTA or wait for 3.0?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] legaldeejay:
I sure hope that the M9 can be rooted and S-off'd because that will be my next phone coming from M7 which I have enjoyed since S-Offing it with Rumrunner
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zera89:
So with next update I can s-off my Lollipop m7?!

you, guys, are awesome!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Yes, but you can also s-off your m7 with the current version of SunShine by just flashing a 4.x rom first.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DumbleCore:
I have 5.0.1 official on my one m8, if I flash near stock like 4.4.4 rom, would I be able to s-off?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
No, you'd need to wait for SunShine version 3
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DumbleCore:
Alright, thanks! Then I'll wait these few days ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] darkenedpath:
While I wait for other things, if I run the apk, and it actually asks for payment, "on lollipop", if I decline for the time being until I can get hooked up with pay pal, will it effect me actually getting s-off when I can pay? Sorry just curious. Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] radkor:
If Sunshine asks for payment then you can S-OFF now.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] darkenedpath:
I know that I can if it asks for payment, that's not my question, I'm just asking, if I decline payment to them for the time being, when I run apk again, will I get declined from not accepting it in a previous transaction? Like I said, dumb question.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] radkor:
No. It'll ask you for paypent till you pay. ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] andyroads:
Hello. I got my phone back from repair. Now I have a new Mainboard with new imei. So I have to pay again, it's right? I can't, cause software now is 5.0.1

Will SS 3.0 Require a New APK

Will SS3 require a new install of SS or is the current installed one just a link to magic done elsewhere and we can use what we have?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
I'm not sure what you are asking, sunshine uninstalls itself after it is done. There is no reason to use SS3 if you are already unlocked/s-off.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] n1234d:
Oh, no, I think he was asking whether sunshine is entirely a remote piece of code that runs on the phone, making the version of the app redundant.., so when you release 3.0, previous versions of the app will work.

Just to add in, until now, I researched various ways of getting s-off. I knew it was difficult, but not SO Freaking difficult! Now I understand the amount of time and devices it must take to find out vulnerabilities.. $25 seems just about right ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] schneid:
EXACTLY. Just wanted to know if I had to DL and reinstall the SS applet. I'm coming up on my 30 day return window so 3.0 may too late for me. Luckily my M8 was advertised as carrying 4.4.3 so I have a reason under the seller's liberal thirty day return policy. As for the Sunshine's price, $25 to make my phone work as designed is really cheap. I donated almost that much for WeakSauce2 just for the partial root. But then, I always donate. It is hard to believe people don't realize how much time tinkering with these things take and the cost of the phones sacrificed in the process. But then some people don't realize how much work other people do for them everyday to make things better for them. Maybe SS will never work for me but I am very appreciative of the team's effort and that of all the other clever people on XDA.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] name.temp:
This might be a bit of a cross-post, but...

I've unlocked (HTCDev) and rooted (CWM, SuperSU) my HTC One M7 but can't get S-off no matter how hard I try.

4.4.3, Sense 6.0

Hboot 1.57

I get this from Rumrunner:

unfortunately this isn't going to work out with your configuration. you have 2

options:

1.) flash an unsecure kernel that's compatible with your ROM and retry rumrunner

(preferred and most reliable method).

2.) flash a different rom.

NOTE: No amount of messing around with su binaries and apk's is going to fix thi

s issue for you!!!.

Better luck next time!!!!bye

Press ENTER to exit

Would SunShine work? I would more than happily pay $25 to get my GPE...

Thanks!!

EDIT: I opted for blind trust with the compatibility tests. I admit I was really skeptical.

When nothing else worked, this did. No sweat & no hiccups.

Devs, you have made my day and many more days to come! This is the best $25 I've spent in ages! I can't thank you enough!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Nerdyjedi:
Got S-OFF on my AT&T M8 today. Very easy. Well worth the $25. :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maverick7777:
Hi guys

hope someone can help, I recently bought an HTC m8, long story short I desperately need to S Off the device. The phone was already on Lollipop, I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device and installed TWRP. I then installed sunshine but even though grant came up with regards to root it didn't want to work. I tried updating the SU binaries but was freezing etc, anyway I tried a reset on my device and the device got stuck on the HTC logo. So out of desperation I installed a custom coin ROM. Everything is back working fine but again sunshine doesn't work.

So my questions are: If I were to install a stock 4.3 or lower rom would this help me to acquire S off?, I don't really care about warranty etc is it possible to install a lower stock rom with s on?

or is it to do with my hboot being v 3.19?, also a bit confused as when check if I have root in rom with apps they all confirm root, but TWRP after installing the rom said that I wasn't rooted??, and if I wanted to install SU?.

Im new to the HTC M8 but have fiddled around with phones for a while, any help would be greatly appreciated
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] radkor:
It's not "S-OFFable" at the moment till Sunshine 3.0 release.

No. You must wait for Sunshine 3.0.

ROM - yes. Firmware - no. But It wont let you S-OFF. Wait for SS3.0.

No.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maverick7777:
So basically, when you update via HTC stock that's it theres no going back, so basically wait for sunshine to release a version compatible with new htc stock roms.

As im on a custome rom at the moment, what should I do to revert back to stock? must I look for a lollipop 5.01 stock rom?

thanks in advance
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] radkor:
You should flash RUU.zip via SD Card or fastboot, or RUU.exe via PC. You must relock your bootloader to do this. RUU wil flash your phone to full stock, including recovery and kernel.

Remember that RUU can't be lower version than current fw version of your phone. If you have 3.28.401[/b].9 firmware you must flash 3.28.401.9 or higher RUU.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maverick7777:
Radkor that's great, I suppose its pointless at the moment as sunshine wont work if I flash to stock anyway.

Just a couple more questions is it difficult to relock bootloader?, also it says my kernel is 3.4.0-g6af28ec is this what you mean? ive got baseband 1.25.21331147A1

build number 4.16.401.10 Sense 6.0 Android 5.0.1

I do have the firewater file and was wondering if I could get S off that way?, I don't mind paying sunshine its just I need S Off

Any thoughts or would firewater def not work?, I did try but it doesn't seem to want to push to the device it says it has, I get into root I apply the commands and the following happens

C:\adb>adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp

5455 KB/s (4522136 bytes in 0.809s)

C:\adb>adb shell

when I try to use SunShine with my M8, error :-

""At this time, SunShine can not work on your phone, this is a know issue and we are working the address it""

when do you will fix this error ????
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] navid0308:
firewater uses the internet to work and since its discontinued, it will NEVER work no matter what you do

relock bootloader using fastboot oem lock while in fastboot; it will show error and it'll probably show warnings and not boot up OS but all of that goes away if you flash the ruu which is MEANT for your device (determined by your CID and MID)

use getvar to see if your mid and cid matches the required mid and cid from here

then you can use the ruu exe or zip (whichever you're familiar with)

Will this affect release of 3.0??
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Uzephi:
It will have the same restriction as the m7/m8. Bootloader cannot be unlocked, so a delay on a device being released on a version currently unsupported will most likely not delay release of 3.0.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jshashwat93:
I wanted to ask if the Indian version for Lollipop behaves the same way as other versions in terms of s-off so far for the 3.0 update? Asking this question because I believe that only the Indian/Hong Kong versions could not be s-off'd on 4.4.4 if i am not wrong. I am just wondering if i should update from 4.4.4 to lollipop or first wait for ss 3.0 to s-off my Indian device. Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] n1234d:
Since 3.0 is so close, might as well wait. I've upgraded to 5.0.1, which will most likely work as per devs.

As [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] stated, all M8s on LL5.x but 5.x Verizon (for now) will get S-OFF via SS3.0. AFAIK Indian M8 is not the same as Verizon M8. :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Verizon on 4.4.4 will certainly get s-off, 5.x is up in the air until we have a release copy of it and can get root working on it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] radkor:
Thanks. I corrected my post. Off course I meant all 5.x M8s but 5.x Verizon M8 (for now). :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] trane116:
Just to clarify, sunshine will work with Asia (specifically Malaysia) WWE running lollipop right? Thanks for your hard work and effort. This is going to be my 3rd m8 to s-off lol
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Verizon m8/m7 users, SunShine 3.0 will not work on Verizon's 5.x upon release, please hold updating until we release.

We hope to have 3.0 out in a matter of days.

4.1 - 4.4.4 Support globally for HTC

5.0.x Support for all HTC, with the exception of Verizon.

Same Motorola Support as in 2.8.x (sorry no 4.4.4 nor 5.x moto support)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] josh8901:
I just wanted to say, despite all the hate you get, I appreciate what you all are doing and letting us know status updates. It really makes a difference to me, I have had immense respect for the team even before sunshine. [emoji4]
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Scramjet:
Nice to hear that v3 will be out 'in a matter of days'. I last successfully S-OFFed my One M8 last March using Firewater. I sent it for repair since then and they changed out the mainboard and it used the latest firmware, and rendered firewater useless. Surprisingly, they didn't bother about either the S-OFF or the unlock. Before my One, I S-OFFed my Sensation XE using JuopunutBear (anyone remember the neat wire trick?)

I own a CID__044 device (Asia WWE), looking forward to the release. I honestly don't mind paying the $25 - the devs have made an excellent tool and spent a large amount of time doing this, it's natural for them to expect some returns. Congrats, guys.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] schneid:
Just curious. Did the version number change from 2.8.4 to 2.8.5? Was that just to see if your devoted followers are paying attention?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] radkor:
Yes. I'm checking theroot.ninja and this thread every day from a month.

They uploaded 2.8.5 yesterday but it's nothing important.

We must wait patiently for 3.0.

Hello everyone,

I have been out of the android mod game for awhile. I just received my replacement HTC ONE M7 (Verizon) phone from asurion that is running 4.4.3, 5.28.605.2. I'm looking to unlock bootloader, s-off & root etc. My current my M7 is unlocked s-off, all that good stuff. A lot has changed and sunshine seems to be the only way to go. My new phone is 100% stock. I downloaded the 2.85 apk but have no way of installing app as I don't have root access. How do I run the app? Sorry for my rusty knowledge.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] schneid:
Just copy to the phone and run it. Do you have Developer turned on? 2.8.5 achieves root. Built in. Probably need to read this whole thread.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] shweller:
Yes developer options on. I would read the whole thread but a lot of the information is out dated. What directory do I put it in?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] schneid:
Seems current to me. As for directory, its just an app, so anywhere you can find and click it is fine.

Maybe Unknown Souces needs to be allowed too.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Alton (Halo 2):
Really hoping 3.0 will work for my Verizon m8 on 4.4.4. I would drop $25 all day. *crosses fingers*

Should I wait for this or get a different m8 with 4.4.2?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] shweller:
Update: S-off and unlocked has never been easier! Best $25 spent ever. Used Sunshine 2.85 Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] radkor:
Sunshine 3.0 will work from the start on Verizon M8 with 4.4.4.

Just remember to NOT update your phone to 5.x BEFORE gaining S-OFF. :) Just dismiss any OTA on your Verizon M8 before SS3.0 release.

That is correct. As with other models, they need unlocked bootloader and root. The Verizon models cannot have this happen. They have to get a temp root working on lollipop, that would be a feat in of itself with the way SELinux works in 5.0.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mannyelite:
The zip fixed The debugging ramdisk so that's covered. So your saying that if I switch Roms (currently running insertcoin on it) sunshine should work on my device? I thought sunshine not being compatible was device related not ROM. Would reallly appreciate some insight.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] radkor:
Just give it a try and run Sunshine again on near stock ROM.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] navid0308:
The ramdisk is a part of kernel I think

And every custom rom flashes its most suitable modified kernel when you install it

I guess sunshine requires stock kernel with stock OS and all

With arhd 34.2 if you run it, it outputs the 'known issue' dialog...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mannyelite:

With insertcoin ROM I got the it's a known issue we're working on it message from sunshine..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] legaldeejay:
Just so I am clear, if we already have Lollipop, which is the same as 5.0, on our phones, then Sunshine 3.0 now is not going to work? Past posts were saying we have to wait for Sunshine 3.0 which WILL work with Lollipop on a Verizon M8. Or maybe I am confusing Lollipop and what "5.0" means.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] radkor:
As far I understood that's HTC M8 supported after Sunshine 3.0 release:

- International version of HTC M8 on 4.4.4 Kitkat and 5.x Lollipop.

- HTC M8 (Verizon) on 4.4.4 KitKat. (Support for 5.x Lollipop will be added later, after release SS3.0).

So if you have Verizon M7/M8 currently on 4.4.4 KitKat DO NOT UPDATE it to 5.x Lollipop before Sunshine 3.0 release and gaining S-OFF.
