Thread cleaned.

Creating an account with sole purpose to rant against developers as well as threatening or implying legal action, even encouraging others to participate in such without taking into consideration the fact that the policy of usage for the specific software is for one device wont take you far.

In addition, trying to use said software on a different device than the one it was acquired for is considered piracy.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nkk71:
:D a "not asking for eta" post, which incidentally is "just wondering if I should wait a couple of days" :p

Personally, if I wanted to *mod* my device I'd just unlock it, or if I wanted to try stock for a while I wouldn't.

Obviously I cannot say what the devs are planning, not even whether it's an IF or WHEN, so as always, it's a personal decision you will have to take ;)

Not only is it a fantastic app, they have incredible support. I was completely lost and they helped me out really quickly. Had a reply within minutes. Absolutely worth the $25.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sirioo:
Absolutely worth the $25.

I will buy Htc u11 only with compatible s-off. Hurry up :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] loner.:
I have a HTC U11 and also want S-off.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
They will be ready when they are. I've been impatient as well. But it'd be better to be patient and just wait. Just think of the fact that things on the U11 are much different then they were in the M9 and 10. And as all of us they have to wait for the delivery of the device as well. Have a look in the pre-order thread and you'll know that not everyone got his device already.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] AllGamer:
Indeed, I picked up the U11 before realizing S-OFF was not available.

I'm returning the U11 before the 30 days are up.

But if they manage to make Sunshine work with the U11, then I'll order it again. :good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KARIM9377:

I've got to send my htc 10 back in for repair. Can someone point me to instructions for s-on and relock bootloader? Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
backup data off deivce

in download mode "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"

then run sunshien to go s-off/locked

then RUU the phone

then again in download mode "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"

I have too send my htc10 in for repair. Can someone point me to instructions for s-on and relock bootloader? Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kisakuku:
Definitely RUU before going S-On the first time as well. People forget they have a custom aboot and brick. Then again, that's as good a way as any to send your device in for service)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Root and superuser are the same things...you just have to use sunshine, after that flash the custom recovery and in that recovery you can flash the superuser binary files :p
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] puredp1:
Just bought it and my m8 is S-off and unlocked. Any link now please to root my phone
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
What's with using search button? Or just using Google for find them? Would take just less then a minute to find it...no one here HAS to give you a link..I recommend you to search on your own to learn how to find those things

It's not meant to be rude but really...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] puredp1:
Thanx for your reply! You are right my friend but I am a little confused how to do it right. The method with sunshine was ready but I am not sure what program to use now? Towel root? Please if you have any answer help me I want to root it now.

greetings from Greece.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
No towelroot is just for temp root not perm root..to get perm root you have to download a zip file in which the superuser binary files are and just flash through custom recovery... That's the best and safest way to get it working :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] puredp1:
Ok friend I will search for it thanx a lot!!

I have a question. Sunshine claims to root the phone if it isn't if I understand that right but I am not root after the procedure just s off and unlocked. Why is that? Am I missing something here?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] weedup:
I'm not sure, but I think it's just a temporary root.

Just used SunShine, it works perfectly. Thanks, Justin and everyone else that is involved. :good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mwep:
Worked great on a stock 4.4.3 M8 to get s-off.

I kept the original recovery to make OTA hassle-free and rooted with fastboot and Philz.

Save the supersu.zip file on device.

Boot into custom recovery image (Philz):

fastboot boot <ImageName>.img

Install from zip.

Rooted with stock recovery!

For some reason i couldnt boot into custom recovery using TWRP.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] LinS123:
Firewater didn't work and without S-off I couldn't update the FW which meant insanely long boot times for custom roms.

Sunshine worked like a charm, well worth the money.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Make sure you download the latest build, if it continues try another network
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Not everyone wants their device rooted, and it isn't the apps primary purpose. Soff has other uses too
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Spili:
What is advantage to have only s-off without root?

dont think htc 10 will let you s-on with modified aboot, but then again im not sure so thats a safe call
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kisakuku:
Haven't tried it myself, but according to reports, the exact scenario I've described can indeed happen.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nkk71:
Interesting, I wish people would attach their command prompt/terminal output, but that's a lot to ask these days. (On M7, it wouldn't have allowed to go s-on, it would have thrown a signature error, no matter what people like to think about being fully stock)

But yeah, being full stock prior to going s-on has always been recommended, especially on M9 and above.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Boogeryouans:
I am to the step of running Sunshine to go s-off/locked. Sunshine says it gain root. Any suggestions? Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Boogeryouans:
I am now stock recovery and firmware. I am s-on and unlocked. How do I get to locked?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Root, run SunShine, choose S-OFF/locked when asked there you go. You can that go back to stock, uprooted and writesecureflag to be S-ON/locked if you wish so.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Boogeryouans:
Hi can I root without a custom recovery? S-on won't let me flash one.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Boogeryouans:

Forward your receipt to me at jcase@cunninglogic.com, the one that we mailed to you with instructions.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fix-this!:
thats pretty stupid as you can already unlock the bootloader and there is custom roms. being s-on wont prevent aosp either. but yes im down and patiently waiting for s-off so I can rebrand my u11 to the us unlocked.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] prabhjot-singh:
What's the s-off and why we need to do this?

I mean its not even free like custom ROMs or kernels or other stuff, can anyone explain me in detail!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Black-FR:
You don't need it, if your device could be unlocked by HTCdev.

But it's a nice to have, as you could change stuff with S-OFF, which you usually can't.

E.g. changing the CID or flashing modified firmware files....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mark332:
Great
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fix-this!:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
is there any other tool which don't require 25$ for unlocking like sunshine ???

I Spent Almost One Day To Root My Marshmallow Firmware On Droid Turbo , And Then Came The Donation Message In Sunshine . I Cannot Donate 25$ In Any Way .
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Black-FR:
If HTCdev supports your device, then unlock the bootloader there.

If you want S-OFF, then sunshine is the way to go and the tool you need.

Or search in your device forum, if there is any other solution for you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
I am using Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo . Sunshine supports my device but i cannot donate $$$ .

I just want to unlock my bootloader to flash the stock kitkat firmware on Droid Turbo through RSD Lite . Flashing firmware on motorolla devices is really difficult. I dont know why .
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Black-FR:
Well... as said, ask it in your device specific forum, if there is any alternative.

But I doubt, that there is one.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
yeah i am asking in the device specific forum .

there is only one tool named SunShine .

.

I HATE VERIZON ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Nido221:
Sunshine is the only option to unlock your phone. Security of Motorola phones is so much difficult to break and find an exploit. 25$ is the cost to recover the expenses while doing research and development work for sunshine.Good news is that it's one time cost and after that a freedom forever.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Paul.ryan:
I don't think that you can go back to KitKat even with an unlocked bootloader on the Droid Turbo and I think if you try it could brick your phone. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
Yeah i know .
[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] told me everything .
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
Lets hit the :good: button for writing an essay :silly:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Well, a lot of people still believe Verizon's PR LIES that the Droid Turbo was this "exclusive" phone they had, when it wasn't even exclusive in the U.S. It was an exact clone of another phone with same FCC ID and radio bands, the U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250.

And a lot of people don't know about the sibling Moto Turbo XT1225/" international" Moto Maxx XT1225 (which has all the AT&T radio bands).

Especially for people who don't need Verizon, no need to mess with locked down bootloader if you buy those other versions. And if you did need Verizon, the XT1250 even runs on Verizon with a Verizon SIM card.

Of course, not as problematic since Sunshine unlocks the Verizon bootloader.

I just thought as long as was educating about downgrading firmware on the Droid Turbo, might as well educate about the entire Quark series.

It was basically a 5.2" version of the Moto Nexus 6. For me, it was MY Nexus 6, the right sized phone with same 1440 AMOLED display, Snapdragon 805 chipset, 3 GB RAM, 64GB internal memory, and even bigger battery, 3900 mAh.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
I have thought of selling this verizon droid turbo and buy another phone . Didn't know motorola is so hard to root and unlock .

Motorola+Verizon=???
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Schrotty35:
The picture show a devolper u11 and this is s-off. I think the u11 will not see soon s-off for normal version.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
No it doesn't.

Why are you - in every thread regarding this topic - telling that the picture is fake. It might look like a developer U11 due to the fakt that [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] got temp S-OFF. This is due to some massive security changes done by HTC.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
It is a retail u11.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Schrotty35:
Ok sorry.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zeeBomb:
For the $25, do you guys only accept USD? Is any Conversion needed? [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION]
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
paypal/CC does the conversion automatically
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zeeBomb:
Ah okay. I will do soon, i'll let you know if anything goes wrong. In the meantime, thank you and your team for everything you have done to provide a solid S-OFF experience with just a simple app. It made me realize the hard work and effort that developers put to provide a tool to help change how an individual uses an app, instead of really going out to buy the other only option a java card or xtc2clip that costs north of $100. Keep up the good work :good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] , I finally sold my Droid Turbo and bought an HTC One M9 AT&T from my friend . Luckily , the phone was already S-OFF but bootLoader was locked . I unlocked the bootloader myself by the official HTCDEV method for free . Now i have s-off and bootloader unlocked . I have flashed MaximusHD ROM . The doors to awesomeness are opened now . :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ChazzMatt:
It's not Motorola. I got free unlock codes from Motorola. It's Verizon that won't let Motorola give free unlock codes for Verizon phones.

And then you don't want to pay for Sunshine.

Well, now that you know -- just stay away from Verizon phones in the future. Especially if you don't bother to research first? ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thznutz87:

Never mind this post. I thought someone mistakenly replied to me. Instead I misread. Need to go to bed. ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
I have done both :)

---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 AM ----------

But i did both in order to avoid any errors while flashing twrp recovery .

.

Are you 100% sure that it will let me flash roms and recoveries with locked bootloader ???
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thznutz87:
It does on the HTC 10. I was s-off locked and flashed everything including firmware
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
The thing is not about money . The thing is that i am a university student and dont have any credit card or something through which i could donate the developer [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] for making him rich .

Tried it after upgrading to nougat or marshmallow firmware also ???
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thznutz87:
I was on N
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
Okay .

Then it means there is no need to unlock bootloader if it is relocked again .

Will my phone stay S-OFF forever no matter how many RUUs i flash ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thznutz87:
Yes
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
Thanks for helping me mate .

You guys at XDA cleared my mind about everything . Now i wont ask any noob questions like that in any thread but i will help the noobies :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thznutz87:
No problem buddy.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
I downloaded RUU zip but when i tried to open it with file explorer in phone , it says that the archive is corrupt .

Is it normal for RUU zips or should i downloaded another RUU . I used UC Browser and had wifi connection for downloading RUU
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
OT on this thread. Read on how RUU.zip are flashed. They are never to be unpacked for it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
I know how to flash RUU zips . If an archive is corrupt , then it is useless . Now , i am download official RUU exe from HTC site .
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Captain_Throwback:
Just because your zip program thinks the RUU zip is corrupted doesn't mean it's useless. RUU zips are signed, and typically also encrypted, so zip programs will always see them as corrupt. Just like you were previously told, you don't unzip them; you just flash them without trying to unzip.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
You are correct .

Actually , the firmware i downloaded was not for my device . I downloaded another firmware which also showed corrupt archive error , But i successfully flashed it with HTC-FASTBOOT :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zeeBomb:
I got a question, hope you guys can answer it.

If I S-OFF, and I feel like i want to clean flash my device to a different ROM and loose that apk that I've installed, will the app "forget" that I have S-Offed with the code that I've been given? [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION]

and i still got the tampered sign, don't know if that's bad or good if I want to flash gpe firmware, what do I do?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Captain_Throwback:
S-OFF doesn't go away by flashing a different ROM. Your device will remain S-OFF unless you explicitly change that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zeeBomb:
Yeah I know, but the sunshine app though. Will it still recognize me that I've paid? I read somewhere it is one per device. Maybe i'm overthinking this :silly:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thznutz87:
You don't need the app again unless you want to s-on
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
I suggest staying s-off at all costs, no reason to go back s-on unless you are getting rid of it, but yes sunshine will automatically recognize licensed devices, no need for a code

Hello. I have an HTC m9 on Verizon with marshmallow 6.0 and 3.37.605.28. I am curious if there is an actual s-off and root process that will work as of now. I have been trying everything possible with no success
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Use https://xdaforums.com/verizon-one-m9/general/root-unlock-s-verizon-m9-mm-3-37-605-13-t3457717 to downgrade to 3.37.605.7

Then SunShine can s-off it. After S-off I suggest updating it, then rooting it via TWRP and Magisk or SuperSu
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeffkahlo777:
Google Play Protect says: SunShine "can damage your device", and blocks the installation (without touching on more details), Jcase ¿what do you think? Sorry, I cannot publish screenshots.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
It's normal that it does say that.

But you can disable the google Play protection in settings though.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
They do this for apps capable of rooting or unlocking?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeffkahlo777:
Yes, here are the Google Play Protect screenshots
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Yes that's expected. Apps that can gain root get flagged, by design.
