You must have updated to unsupported firmware. This is why we advise people to never go s on once s off is obtained. You will have to wait for the next major release, early next year.

T-Mob101

out of the box tried sunshine and it said could not find su binary, will it work if unlock with htcdev and root it? or I have to wait for 3.0?

HTC M8

CID: T-Mob101

Software: 3.32.111.9

4.4.4
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 63sammo1:
Same situation with my wife's m8. Went ahead Dev unlocked it, fastboot flashed recovery, twrp 2.8.0. then flashed update su. Then ran sunshine again without issue. Htc one m8 sprint on 4.4.4 12/27/14
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Anakha56:
So for my new European M8 the current version of Sunshine does not work, it goes for root and comes back saying root not found. I have tried the Verizon method with WeakSauce v2 but that crashes with "Unfortunitly, this program has stopped responding." and I have tried the TowelRoot method but it just hangs on the Welcome screen after editing the mod strings and clicking the rain button. It looks like I will have to wait for the new version :).

My M8's details are:

Android version 4.4.4 (pre-loaded, not of my doing)

Software number 3.32.111.3

H-Boot 3.19.0.0000

On the off chance, has anyone managed to get this version of the phone rooted & s-off? I don't mind going the HTC-Dev route, just thought I would bring it up here first.

This was posted in the wrong thread and was meant for this thread. Reading the post above it would seem dev unlock is the way to go :).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CodingEthos:
I appreciate all the hard work but I dropped my M8 and scratched the crap out of it and I'm gonna do a device replacement so I'm gonna wait on Sunshine (If I could afford to pay you three times I would :D )

Would you guys ever consider doing something like being able to uninstall/remove license and transfer to another device? That would be awesome.

Keep up the good work! HTC really wants to patch all of it! LOL they fix it, you "break" it, love it.

Out of ideas

Hi.

It's a stupid story. So I bought HTC m8 with s-off and after two weeks it just turned off and showed no life signs. It got bricked. So I gave it in for fixing. After a week I got it back with a new motherboard. It's S-on locked on Orange broadband. Locked to orange sim cards, basicly the phone is usseles.

I'm on 4.4.3 android

software 2.26.61.1

HBOOT 3.18.0.0000

I have unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP 2.7.0.2 via M8 toolkit

Firewater didn't work.

Sunshine didn't work. Incompatible. "At this time SunShine can not work on your phone it's a known issue..."

I've just tried updating to 4.4.4. system update: 3.33.61.9 hoping to be able to S-off, but I wasn't able to update it would load it to recovery and if I tried to flash it manually it would show up as failed.

I'm out of ideas :( Should I wait for v3? Or is it my fault ? I don't know.

P.S. It's easy with samsungs but I'm noob here
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CodingEthos:
If you update to 4.4.4 you will definitely have to wait for v3 - but if you want to you will have to flash the stock recovery from a command line:

First search XDA for your recovery. Best bet is to search for stock m8 (blah, model info) recovery. Then run these commands:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - make sure you put it in fastboot folder or specify the WHOLE PATH TO FILE.

fastboot reboot

Then click install update and it will install.

If it doesn't work for you I think in the OP there is more info about European models being able to be S-OFF'd with a combination of Weaksauce and Sunshine. Currently the Devs are working on a fix for European models.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] AlbertoSONIC:
Guys i'm trying to get my m8 back to stock. I have s-off (with sunshine), root, custom hboot, tampered, unlocked, supercid and a custom rom. I have a question: do i need to lock bootloader in order to flash a ruu? Also, are this steps correct?

1) Flash stock hboot

2) Flash RUU

3) Put stock CID

4) Lock bootloader

5) Remove S-off

Thank you!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joeynshelby:
I finally had an opportunity to use Sunshine today!! I had been stuck on 4.4.4 Verizon Droid Maxx. I found a motherboard on 4.4 and swapped them out. Downloaded Sunshine, ran it, paid the money and now I am bootloader unlocked. Worked like a charm, super easy. Well worth $25.00. First thing I did was update back to 4.4.4 and rooted the phone. Thanks to the devs for a great piece of software. Highly recommend it. $25 is a steal!

Trouble getting s-off

Good evening. I have an HTC one M8 (Sprint) and have not been able to successfully find a compatible combination for my phone. I have tried to get back to as near stock rooted as I can without success. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance and Happy New Year!

Also, I have read many remarks of a few dissenting individuals towards this development. As such, I would like to thank all of the developers of this software and any who read this post for their contributions outside this specific project. jcase, enjoy your break. Had I the patience and the dedication to software development, I would gladly help. However, my skills are in emergency medicine and fire fighting.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] niac93:
I was trying to install the updated version of sunshine that had weaksauce 2.0 on it just to see if it would work but now I just get the loading screen for the compatability check 20min at a time and then the program restarts completely and just goes through everything again. I already had weaksauce 2.0 installed to check out how it works. I know it's now integrated into sunshine. Could that be the problem? Do I need to uninstall it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Uninstall all root related apps, including supersu and weaksauce2, then reboot and try.

Got my Verizon m8 in the mail today, and got it s-off in ten minutes running 4.4.3 stock out of the box! Thanks guys I do not mind at all paying for this when you make it so easy, just one question it's asking me to update OTA to 4.4.4 will that cause any issues with the s-off or should I just keep avoiding It till I install a custom Rom.?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] skulldreamz:
Once your s-off your good to go my dude because now you always have the option to downgrade or revert back to stock.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] famouscollin:
Alright cool, I'm gonna run stock rooted for now, I guess I'll ota if it's not gonna mess with anything. I guess worse case scenario I have to flash a recovery again, and gain root again, but my s-off will remain the same is all I care about being as i paid for that part. Lol

Hello!

Guys I had absolutly WEIRDEST experience with sunshine s-off app yesterday!

I got my HTC One (M7) back from repair service on 31.12. 2013, it was ungraded to KitKat, with hboot 1.57 therefore no other s-off method than sunshine. I was surfing your site for payment details, planning about creating paypal account to pay for SunShine,....while I saw that I can download app on site. I said to myself: "Lets intall app and see, however I wont be able to use it, since i didnt pay yet, but lets see". I installed SunShine-latest on my One (Which is M7_UL, and was COMPLETLY STOCK without root, locked bootloader, etc,.... AND was running KitKAt 4.4.3). I started app and it asked me if I want it to temporarily root my phone, I allowed it, and it seemed to do it. It said it will do some compatibility checks,.... Here comes the fun part: I cannot say if it asked me to continue and Unlock and S-OFF, i cannot remember, but it certanly didnt ask me for payment. However it ran for a minute or such and than it said that my phone is S-OFF and has unlocked bootloader and phone shut down. I left it like that for cca 15 min. Than I took it and tried to power on. It didnt. I pressed power button for 5, 15, 60 secs and nothing. Not even vibration, blink, nothing. I plugged it to computer and it recognized it as QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager. After some surfing I realised my beloved ONE is brick, but thanks god for HTC unbricking project. After some trying I booted Ubuntu from live CD and restored my HTC. However after I checked fastboot, my phone was S-OFF and had UNLOCKED bootloader.

I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THAT I DID NOT PLAY WITH YOUR APP AND TRY TO CRACK IT OR SUCH. IT SIMPLY NEVER PROMPTED FOR PAYMENT AND JUST S-OFF AND UNLOCKED MY PHONE AND EVENTUALLY BRICK IT I GUESS.

I told you this because I felt urge to share my story, I am not blaming anyone for things that happened to me. Only way I see this possible

is that my phone was already S-OFF once and when you put it back to S-ON it doesnt lock completly.

If anyone has any idea WHY did this happen please tell. If anyone notices my mistake in my behaviour please TELL so that i can avoid it next time.

Sorry for my tiring long post and my english :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Sunshine never sets a device s on, nor does it normally s-off a device without payment. Likely your device came back from repair with a mismatched old firmware, and probably has either been s-off before, or was already licensed for sunshine. At any rate, there are ways to unbrick by flashing properly matched firmware in Linux. We can help you out in IRC or you can search for Dexter's m7 unbrick project here on XDA.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gaspernemec:
Dont worry, my phone already rocks android 5.0 and it FLIES :D. (I unbricked it with Dexters unbrick)

I dont know, maybe they screwed with something on repair service. Maybe they were "screwing" with firmware, since repair log says that they swapped camera and "calibrated device" (which can also mean screwing with firmware, etc,....). Yeah my phone was S-OFF before, but i set it back to stock S-ON included. Has this something to do with my phone being S-OFF before, but on older hboot (1.56 - but I didnt use sunshine back then - I think it was rumrunner)? Or maybe guys at service paid me sunshine S-OFF - I wouldnt mind - allthough i highly doubt it :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Yes that's a mismatched firmware issue for sure. Glad you were able to get it sorted out.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Sounds like you used rumrunner before. Score on getting s-off at the price of running dexter' script.

this does not fix the "known issue" devices.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wongto:
Hi jcase. Am on a Vodafone UK (hence European) M8 with 4.4.4. Sunshine compatibility check tells me I need to manually root (and SuperSU) before re-running.

Have checked this thread - most of the chatter is around Verizon 4.4.4. Not much on European or UK devices.

Presume I'm better off waiting for Sunshine 3?

thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
You'll need to unlock with htcdev and flash recovery then root. After that, sunshine will tell you if it can work to s-off your device or of you need to wait for 3.0.

I purchased 2 different licenses for 2 different HTC one max phones. Had to wipe and send back one phone to HTC for repair.

I got it back today and guess what; they replaced phone under warranty! Can I get the license code from you or must I purchase a third time? Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
If they replaced it with a different phone, then you will need to buy a new license, as they will likely fix that phone, and ship it to someone else. Someone else has almost certainly ended up with your license.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] markwebb:
No I reflashed before sending back for fear of warranty issue.

License is retrieved from the license server using a hardware based unique identifier, nothing done to the device should ever remove this with exception of hardware changes.

Do you think the team deserve to get no money for doing something which others can't do?

There's quite a simple solution for you to be honest. Don't pay the $25 and just wait for someone else to come along and make an S-Off exploit for free that works. Word of warning though, you'll have an extremely long wait.
