I hope you will be happy with it soon, if you dont want us to ask then say it will not come before lollipop is out for all devices. information is always good.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
They've given all the info that they can at this time, which is...it'll be ready when its ready
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
I dont know when it will come out, it is not directly tied to lollipop. Its just impossible for us to have an accurate test on all lollipop builds when we dont have them.

I have a request for a little information. I have my Droid Maxx rooted at 4.4. So when I run this it unlocks my bootloader. how did you update to 4.4.4? with the official OTA or did you find a new rom? how did you get root back after update to 4.4.4?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DarkRazorZ:
Is 3.0 a lot different than 2.X? Similar methods?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joeynshelby:
Official OTA. Once the boot loader is unlocked you can update without fear. Boot loader stays unlocked making rooting or whatever else you want to do super easy.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mistermatrix24:
Awesome! what tool did you use to root once 4.4.4?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joeynshelby:
Just flash a custom recovery such as twrp. Once you boot into it , it will ask you if you want to install super user say yes it will reboot and you boom you are rooted. Unlocked boot loader makes it easy and ensures you can always root after an ota.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mistermatrix24:
i could kiss you. jcase and the others. i've been dreaming of bootloader since i bought this damn thing in dec '13
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tonnytech:
i fully understand why the devs want to wait before releasing this as they need to ensure htc do not close them out with updates any time soon. Only thing is by the time its out most of us will no longer require really as we will already have lollypop , so kind of a double edged sword ...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Poor Grammar:
My m7 is toast I think after s-off unlock bootloader,custom recovery and flashing liquid smooth phone got really hot and battery was acting weird like going from full to dead in 2hrs so after charging overnight would not come on at all so I took to nearest repair shop and they supposedly replaced the battery so I come home turn it on charge it up to like 80% and I manually turned it off tried to turn on hour later and nothing:confused:...less than 12 hours later so I returned back to repair shop see what happens now only had s-off couple days so if phone is toast do I get refund?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Sounds like typical custom rom problems. Why not just flash a different rom?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Poor Grammar:
Well if I can get my phone to stay on long enough I will try right now its having surgery done. Lol. I'm gonna flash the stock backup before I leave the repair shop.I just assumed it was battery since it won't come on or respond to charger or anything just black screen.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wooddale:
I agree I have unlocked and S offed lol many phones. I don't think it is even possible for it to do that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Poor Grammar:
Possible for it to do what?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wooddale:
Don't think its possible for your phone to overheat from getting S Off.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Poor Grammar:
Your right I don't think s-off made my phone overheat I think bad battery with custom ROM just killed it..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joeynshelby:
I had a custom ROM do that. Just flash another you will be fine.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Poor Grammar:
Thanks but the battery was toast so couldn't flash anything anyway I just got it back today from my local repair shop iSpecialize and these guys are awesome replaced the battery that some people said could not be done. I flashed the stock ROM back and keeping my eye on battery so I installed GSam battery monitor from play store and Only used 12% in last 3hrs so look promising. While I was waiting on it to get fixed bought nexus 4 so now my problem is which one do I keep or sell:D

So is SunShine currently the only way to unlock the bootloader on the Verizon HTC One M7 on HBOOT 1.57? HTC "graciously" updated me to 1.57 and took away my S-Off when I sent it in for a warranty replacement. Honestly, I could live without S-Off as long as I had an unlocked bootlocker, but since VZW blocks HTCDev, I think I'm down to one option.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bdizzle1686:
I'm pretty sure it's the only method "guaranteed" to successfully unlock 1.57. There's a toolkit here n there that claim they can do it, but I've seen very mixed results, most involving problems. Pretty sure if your on a vzw m7, sunshine is the way to go.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zlatann:
Thx for status update jcase.

Hello

Is Htc Desire 820 Dual Sim 4.4.4 Supported ???
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] radkor:
Download Sunshine apk, run it and check by yourself. You don't have to pay to check compatibility with your device.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rwcasto:
download it, install it and try it- it will tell you if it will work before it charges you :)

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flexfulton:
I recently upgraded to 5.0.1 and I know that we have to wait until version 3.0 to be able to S-off 5.0.1. My question is though, if I downgrade to an older (4.4.4) ROM is that good enough or is it the firmware itself that needs to be 4.4.4 or older. I'll do it if the ROM only is required but I guess I'll have to wait if it's the firmware that's required as the only way to downgrade firmware is with S-off.

Any guidance on if this will work before I downgrade my ROM would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mrrocketdog:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mistermatrix24:
did you have any trouble trying to take the OTA 4.4.4? Everytime I try it gets to the reboot phase it installs a small portion then switches to a downed android with its chest open and reboots to 4.4. I also tried taking the update from my PC through USB but it fails at the same point.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rapperman:
Looks like Lollipop is being released today for the Sprint M8.

I am currently unlocked via HTCDev, rooted with no custom recovery, S-On and running stock 4.4.2.

If I were to gain S-Off now with Sunshine would there be any possibility of losing it if I took the OTA to Lollipop? Or should I just relock via HTCDev, take the OTA update and wait for Sunshine 3.0?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zlatann:
If i was you i would soff directly, i think 3.0 will be released after M9 arrives.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rapperman:
Okay but will taking the OTA run the risk of removing S-Off?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] seadersn:
no.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rapperman:
Thanks for the advice guys :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] radkor:
S-OFF is permanent and independent of future software/firmware updates.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Poor Grammar:
This phone has gave me more problems than anything only had it for like 2 months laying in drawer so I took it out and decided to s off unlock bootloader custom recovery root install ROMs etc so about 2 weeks ago I did all the above and phone just powers down and won't turn back on so I thought it was battery so I put in shop last week and since then it's been back twice one I take it home it powers off and no matter what I do it won't come on guy replaced battery tried the charging port so today when I picked it up from shop he said it's probably a bad circuit or motherboard and nothing else he can do for it so since it's on right now can I factory reset and still have s off.. Hope so because I'm going to just sell whole for or part it out
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Uzephi:
Yes, you will still have s-off. Best bet is to run the RUU dottat made in the Verizon one section if you can still get it recognized on the PC. Factory reset would require stock recovery to work properly. I would suggest if you cannot plug into a PC, to flash a stock rooted Rom from Santod's firmware thread in the Verizon one section and then use flashify to flash stock recovery and factory reset. Flashify isn't the suggested way to flash recoveries, but will get the job done if you cannot get USB to be recognized.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Poor Grammar:
Yea everything seems to be fine for last 6hrs or so just want go back to stock so I can sell as is and best way to go is dottat ruu? Guess I got some reading to do don't know what a ruu is
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kami2k:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zlatann:
Release 3.0.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
We are planning on keeping the same price for version 3.0
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] IINexusII:
are there any other firmwares you would like that will help in testing?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joeynshelby:
If you uninstalled any system apk you have to reinstall those before you can apply the ota. The ota looks for certain system files before it starts installing. If it doesn't find them it will fail. Just restore it to stock, apply the update. Then you can root it again (assuming your boot loader is unlocked). When I updated mine I didn't lose root.

I'd love to see support for the CDMA version of the moto e, there's a bunch of people that bought the thing for $10 on Black Friday, only to find that they can't do anything with it.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ugur Kiyici:
Hello everyone,

I have HTC One M8 (INT) with MaximusHD rom.

Clearly, I have rooted my phone. I want to turn it S-OFF via Sunshine.

I have the problem which is Sunshine trying to gain root access and it's denied somehow.

I have SuperSU and I allow to Sunshine to do some tests.

I checked other apps and I have root access there was no problem about it.

After Sunshine's denied, I opened SuperSU and it said the code is need to be updated. But I have the latest version of SuperSU which is 2.45.

I don't know the problem caused by Sunshine or SuperSU.

Please help me about it. Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] damotif:
Try using a stock ROM.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Use a 4.4.x rom
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Nope, i would just like those firmwares for myself.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Tolotos:
Is there any need/interest in European firmwares? I am currently sitting on UK EE 4.4.3 (2.26.61.1, hboot 3.18). The current SunShine is unable to S-OFF it, and I guess it is harder to come by these models in the US?

Cheers,

Leave this type of negativity out of this thread.

Both beaups and myself have hit motorola several times.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
What error does sunshine give you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Tolotos:
The first problem is that SunShine does not find the su binary. I then went to the live chat support, where I was helped to install a su binary through TWRP. After that SunShine complained:

I was told this means SunShine does not support my device and that I had to wait until the release of 3.0. All of this happened in November 2014, so it may have changed in the meantime. However, I assumed that since 3.0 has not been released yet it is still incompatible.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Einheit-101:
I know this and I think that those phones won't stay forever locked, but at least for 3.0. And another update won't come very soon (I guess).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
SunShine 3.0 will work, just sit back

I need to know if I can root the Droid DNA using this.

It's already unlocked so all I need is root.

M U S T D E L E T E A L L B L O A T W A R E

Thank you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rwcasto:
Wrong thread for root for DNA. If you are unlocked. Just flash a custom recovery like TWRP and flash superuser.zip
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Wrong answer for root for DNA. DNA is blocked from htc Dev and patched against all unlock and soff exploits EXCEPT sunshine. So, yes, sunshine does work on that device.

Oops and wrong answer from me. He's unlocked. Yeah, what you said is right. My bad.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rwcasto:
My bad- I thought he said he was already unlocked. Sorry :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
He did, I read it incorrectly.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rwcasto:
No worries brother! :)

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] AlbertoSONIC:
Guys few months ago i gained s-off with sunshine and i installed a custom hboot (without red text). Now i'd like to lock the bootloader and go back s-on. I already installed a .zip ruu, by renaming it to 0P6BIMG.zip and putting it inside the extsdcard. I didn't used the exe way. Did the ruu flash AS ZIP removed the custom hboot? 'Cause i read that if i lock the bootloader with a custon hboot, i will brick my device...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
If the zip you flashed contained an hboot.img, then yes it replaced your modified bootloader with the stock bootloader. If it was the rom.zip extracted from the RUU.exe, then it would have included the stock hboot.img
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] AlbertoSONIC:
How can i know if i have a custom hboot installed?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
You could flash the zip again. The hboot screen tells you what image it is flashing and if it is successful or not
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Small progress update,

We have the Desire 510 (us) and HTC Remix (mini 2???) working, no ETA update, please dont ask for one.

2.8.4 was uploaded nearly a week ago. Some minor changes. As I'm writing this, there's no 3.0 yet!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ezeuba:
I hope if I pay for this and get S-OFF to flash custom firmwares it can fix this my phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] schneid:
Previous Versions?

2.8.4 is no joy for me but is it possible 2.8.2 might work because of some minor difference. Are previous versions available to download and try? Or is that stupid? My current software is 3.28.605.4 if that means anything. Googling says it was released 10/22/2014 but that seems to be the latest.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
No, and not sure why you think an older version would help you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] schneid:
Only had phone a week so not up to speed on its history but learning fast. Thought 4.4.4 was new release but just learned it's been around over three months. Just puzzling why some VZW 4.4.4.s can be Sunshined and others not. Not that I would really understand.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muuu:
So the current v2.8.4 don't work on my M8_UL(EU) Hboot 3.19.0.000.

Now I see the shine new update to lolipop, and it's is poking me, trying to make me update.

But from experience, I learned that it will limit my future possibility's in obtaining s-off.

So I'm asking, if you know that SunShine 3.0 will work on M8 lolipop, or if it's safer to stay on 4.4.4?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] B3nder.FFB:
Where you see the Update to lolipop?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gustav30:
I think he means his phone wants to do an OTA update, not sunshine. I thought the same too.

It is working with Htc One M8 (european vers) having hboot 3.19.0.0000?

It is allready unlocked and rooted.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] radkor:
Just download Sunshine and check by yourself. Checking compatibility is free.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] alexmanu:
No luck with my M8- using 4.4.4- I hope vers. 3.0 will do the job.

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muuu:
Well, what failed was the temp root part, so it might work if I root it myself first(HTC unlock), and then run SunShine.

Can anyone confirm my theory or have anyone tried it themself?

3.0 when

I'm waiting for an update from December allowing the S -OFF on my HTC M8 4.4.4.

When the real is a new release 4.4.4 supports SUNSHINE .

Despite pay for SUNSHINE I wonder if it would be better to give the phone to unlock using the JAVA CARDS... and pay again... :eek:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
If you need s-off now and have access to a javacard, that would be a good option.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TMMM01:
Yes I have access but, once paid for SUNSHINE when I changed HTC SENSE to GPE.

Java Card is second option, I would pay a second time...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ki77en:
I was still on 4.4.2 and just flashed a stock rom but am getting this error when running the compatibility test on Sunshine:

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

Any ideas on this?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
You bought sunshine? How did your device get s-on??
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Poor Grammar:
This suck's I bought sunshine for my HTC one m7 and it worked but I didn't get to enjoy it because battery is fried and warranty no good so my question is will I have to pay again when I want to s-off another device since this one is toast
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SaHiLzZ:
Just confirming that sunshine at this time doesn't work with lollipop on HTC m8 , correct, ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TMMM01:
I bought SUNSHINE people can check it out. I made a mistake to re-flash HTC SENSE again.

My way:

I have a phone with HTC SENSE

Buys SUNSHINE and Loading GPE

I do not like GPE

WANT TO RESTORE THE STATUS box- PHONE BECAUSE crashes

I made a mistake to re-flash HTC SENSE again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] radkor:
@up: if you bought Sunshine on the same phone earlier to gain S-OFF, you'll be gaining S-OFF again on this phone for free. Now you need to wait for Sunshine 3.0 that will support your updated phone. Too bad you've updated your phone to newer firmware that isn't supported by Sunshine and turned S-ON.

I have a Sprint HTC One (M8), I'm currently using Viper 4.0.0, lollipop 5.0.1. Can anyone tell me if there is any way possible to gain s-off via sunshine? I don't mind temporarily using a different ROM, as long as I can get the job done.

Thank you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Souldrinker:
I don't understand how flashing back to Sense could possibly get you back to s-on.

The only way I know to get back to s-on is if you yourself typed the writesecureflag fastboot command despite all the warnings not to in this and other threads and if you did this anyway I don't suppose you have anyone else to blame than yourself.

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------

Probably not until sunshine 3 if you've upgraded to a Lollipop firmware, but they won't charge you to let the app test if the phone is s-offable, so why not just make a nandroid backup of your current rom and flash maximus or another close to stock rom and download the apk and try. You might get lucky ;)
