Can confirm with you the red text is only present with s-on if you flash anything custom ,I just flashed back my stock nandroid and boot.img and the red text on HTC screen was gone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] schneid:
I thought you needed S-Off first before you could flash anything????
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gustav30:
You can unlock your boot loader through HTC dev, install a custom recovery, root, and flash while remaining s-on.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] schneid:
I'm Verizon HTC M8 and thought that was not possible. I thought that was why I was waiting for Sunshine????
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gustav30:
I believe you are correct, didn't know you were Verizon. I think they block HTC dev.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Anton42:
Is it possible without s-off switch from 5.0.1 to 4.4.2?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dougau:
No, you cannot downgrade firmware without s-off.

If anyone who runs a hardware S-OFF business wants to come in here to cry about how lousy Sunshine is (because it kills your business) you can do it offsite!!! This is a place of developers not charlatan hypocritical salesmen whining.

HTC Desire 816

I appreciate what you guys are doing. I currently have a Nexus 5 that just restarts every 1-2 min, it's really frustrating, so I'm trying to get a new phone. I have my eye on the HTC Desire 816 but it's Virgin mobile locked... My mobile carrier is StraightTalk so they probably wont be able to register the HTC Desire 816 unless I get it unlocked. They said they only take ATT and T-mobile phones too.

From what I understand, you guys are trying to make it so that you'd be able to unlock these phones, correct? If so, is the HTC Desire 816 on the list?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jwhood:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Scramjet:
[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] and the other SunShine devs - don't post ETAs if you want to starve the trolls. Or simply update the first post to clearly state that current versions of SunShine only support certain devices, and include the firmware versions which are currently supported. Add in a note stating that owners of currently unsupported devices will have to wait for the next version, ETA unknown.

As already mentioned, there's no point leading us on. You did mention that it'd be released within the first 10 days of March. By the time zone furthest west from UTC (Hawaii), it's almost five days past that. Granted, you experienced Internet downtime but still. Impatient people will start to troll even if they usually don't. And usual trolls will get even worse.

Then earlier you mentioned it would be out 'today' and that post is gone. Why not just don't give an ETA at all, and just complete development in peace?

You guys really don't need a customer to tell you what/what not to do... [emoji53]
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Another mod came and deleted all the argument posts, yes i said today, but thanks trolls and people complaining another mod cleaned the thread.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] getja:
I've rarley post on XDA before but felt very compelled to do so after actually face palming multiple times today.

I too checked this thread and the rootninja twitter throughout the day on Sunday hoping for a release but you know what? Development isn't some rabbit out of the hat magic. It takes time. Time to decompile and compile over and over again, time away from family and friends, and time to respond to all the haters who these dev truly owe nothing to.

It also cost money. Lots of money. Money for phones to run code , computers to run code on, and most likely very expensive software like IDA to scour through millions of lines of java code looking for possible exploits. Oh, and these guys aren't Scrooge McDucking through their money vaults like most people think. They'll be lucky to get a ROI when all is said and done. Did I mention how much of a pain in the ass and unstable java code can be?

Lastly, to all those people saying "you guys are just big headed devs, etc, etc" you're wrong. A true big headed dev would have kept any and all exploits to themselves and if they were nice enough to release something they'd pull it offline after a single asinine comment from the lot of you.

So please, STFU already. Also feel free to post additional hateful comments as they won't be met with any response from me. Good night.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] navid0308:
I feel sorry for the devs, they shouldn't have to deal with so much crap from people! It's their work and they will choose when to release it.

Development takes a lot of time and esp with a tool that works on such critical parts of your device, one wrong line of code and $600 down the drain. So it's obvious the tool will need extensive testing before they properly release it and since this is a DEVELOPMENT forum I think they can release the beta versions here no questions asked.

Bottom line: Don't ask for ETA unless you can handle being lead on/delayed because the devs don't OWE you anything; they are not taking your money and delaying you, they're making a stable product in which you can invest IF you choose to.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] legaldeejay:
Agree with these last posts. We should all be kissing the devs' asses for trying to make our lives better at a nominal cost. Face it, our phones are now so integrated in our daily lives so that for those like me whose lives are made better by being able to use our phone so that you can basically to what the F you want with it when it is S-Off'd and rooted, we should be grateful that there are those here willing to take the time to develop the ability to do so, particularly those with Verizon devices.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fawaan:
I totally agree with Navid and like to back jcase and other developers who are pulling their working hours and trying to make it happen for people like me. We are their potential customers, NOT their Boss to order or enforce the release and do any kind of taunting. Its their baby and they've every right to shape it before throwing into the ring to serve and survive.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fawaan:
I have the same phone and want it to be unlocked to work with my GSM network in my country. I am also waiting anxiously for SunShine 3.0 and hope that after getting s-off my phone maybe unlocked to GSM networks. by the way pls note that HTC Desire 816 (Virgin Mobile) is a CDMA phone so its very tough to get it working on GSM carriers. Need help from guys like jcase and beaups to get it done :)

There's no need to lock this thread as it's support thread for Sunshine (including current 2.8.5 version which is working for many people).

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KennyG123:
It is only one sad individual who keeps making new accounts. He has nothing else to do since his hardware unlock business was ruined by Sunshine.

We just tested the SunShien3 beta with 3 people in our chat, two verizon 4.4.4 users and one international 5.0.1 user. Ran into some minor UI errors, wrong messages being displayed at the wrong time, but it worked. I will now nap, fix the UI and evaluate release when I awaken.

Tests look good, users got s-off and unlock. I'm sure we will see them posting confirmation shortly.

I guess this means that Sprint 5.0.1 will work too?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] niac93:
So I just have a quick question. I temprooted using weaksauce 2 but if I just uninstall that and restart the phone I theoretically shouldn't run into any major problems using sunshine 3.0 right? I technically still have xposed and super SU on my device but they aren't functional because my device is no longer rooted. Do I need to uninstall those? and is there a specific way that I should go about and do that other than clicking the icon and uninstall?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] radkor:
It will. Only Verizon M8s on Lollipop will not work upon a release. Maybe Devs can add support later.

Verizon M8

4.4.4 out of the box

I was one of the 3 that got early access to a test build this afternoon. I had tested before on weaksauce 2 and Jcase was nice enough to let me get in on the 3.0 test.

Just a heads up for anyone running 4.4.x and ART. For whatever reason it would hang and never finish on the full compatibility test while running Sunshine 3.0. I was NOT able to s-off until I changed back to DALVIK. After that it was smooth sailing. I am now s-off on a phone I bought new last November that came with 4.4.4 out of the box.

Thank you to Jcase, Beaups, and anyone else that had a role in development of Sunshine, Much appreciated!

Chris
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
cian121 was incredibly helpful, and certainly sped up the release.

He identified a show stopper of a bug. While 3.0 works fine with ART on 5.x, it apparently causes an issue that looks like a network problem from the users end. I spent hours last night, and this morning trying to find the flaw in our network code, when in fact it was art

I'm adding a fix for that now, as well as posting a video of progress, along with some notes about what we have found during our semi public beta testing (dont ask to test unless you have a rare/oddball device).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mannyelite:
Hey [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] hope all is well. Any luck 3.0 will be compatible with M8_UL HBoot 3.19? Currently stuck on Fimware 2.25.xx an havent been able to update firmware.

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
[YOUTUBE]F7_rEdw8ypc[/YOUTUBE]

To Do before we can release.

Add better network error handling

Detect ART on 4.4.4, and inform user to turn it off

Handle delay of supersu on reboot (white screen on m8 after SunShine reboots it)

Hopefully nothing else.

Features:

Unlocks/S-offs your phone from your home

no mailing it to destinations unknown

no mystery "tech" with access to all your data

does not wipe your device
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
It is, all modern HTC phones including the s400 (mini2, remix) models, with exception of Verizon m8 on 5.0.x and m9, which we will look into after we work out any initial bugs found in the 3.0 release.

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] quick question, a while you back you had mentioned Sunshine may not ship with a temp root. Wondering if that is still the case with 3.0? Do we need to root first, possibly HTC dev before Sunshine? I'm T-Mobile 5.01. Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
All 5.x devices, and some (but not all) 4.4.4 gsm devices will need to unlock and install su first, for the time being.

If your with Verizon on kitkat or 5.0 how do you unlock first? I thought you could only use HTC dev if you bought your phone thru HTC. But say you can
