*EDIT*

A percent of those that went S-OFF/LOCKED with SunShine 3.3.8 will have kernel flashing issues. We addressed this in 3.3.9 (released May 28th 2016 5PM PST).

Either go back s-on/unlocked and redo sunshine (may throw an error, if it does lmk and i can fix on server) or go s-off unlocked. This was one of those errors that only occurs on other people's phones, so it was a PITA to track down.

3.3.10 Released

Brings HTC 10 Lifestyle s-off support

3.3.9 Brought experimental (no guarantee) global sprint sim unlock feature for HTC m8, m9 and others (not 10), would love some feedback on this.

I've been trying to return an M7 to stock, but need to remove tampered flags in the process.

For that, I need S-Off, of course. I've returned to a mostly stock ROM and boot.img, but SunShine is telling me it needs a more stock config.

Any idea which set of files I need to flash to get that done? There's not much to be found for it in the way of newer info.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
perhaps try viperrom
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bassie1995:
How does that get me closer to stock with that? Will SunShine see that as a ROM it can S-Off?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
because the developers tend to be sane and dont do stupid or useless modifications that break sunshine, try it
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] w1000i:
I very disappointed from sunshine after discovering that S-OFF/ LOCKED is NOT functioning like UNLOCKED.

can you tell me how to UNLOCKED it because sunshine is not working and htc unlocking procces also not working as may conflict with the twrp recovery ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
This was an issue for a small number of users and was fixed in sunshine 3.3.9.

You need to unlock with HTCDef.com, if it gives you an error tell me the error.

After unlockm you can always go s-on then reuse sunshien to get s-off/locked since we have fixed the issue
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
S-OFF Locked functions exactly like S-OFF unlocked in our testing (at least using the latest version of sunshine).

Also, htcdev should work just fine. Perhaps you need to flash back stock recovery first?

--beaups
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] w1000i:
Finaly I did it with htcdev, but trust me flashing kernel not working with LOCKED/s-off with sunshine 3.3.8
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Was fixed in 3.3.9, we are at 3.3.11 now. If you want you can go s-on, then redo the process to get proper s-off/locked working

We dont support changing the IMEI, for one it is not legal here, but it also can cause some odd things. Go submit a support request at our site and lets see if we can fix the phone, so sunshien will run correctly again

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GreatSpiritChief:
Amazing. I'm completely ignorant to pretty much everything technical with phones, other than basic everyday use. One of the Authors Jcase walked me through pretty much everything i needed, even with things that didn't pertain to Sunshine itself. He was a huge help and Sunshine is amazing as well.

Coming from a guy who was skeptical if sunshine was worth it, to me who has never thought about the cool things i could do with a Rooted S-Off device. Let me tell you, 100% worth the $25. Add on to the useful aspects of the software, the fact that the customer and user service is unrivaled and you have the makings for possibly the best purchase i've made. Atleast pretty damn close! I'd recommend Sunshine to anyone, albeit they know what it would be used for.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jmkhenka:
I have made my HTC 10 S-OFF and LOCKED.

Is there a way to make it S-OFF UNLOCKED? I know it would not make a difference, but there has to be a way to go unlocked/locked right? Fastboot oem unlock and variations of that (incl req. a new unlockfile from HTC) does not work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Unlock through htcdev works fine.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
HTCDev.com is the only way to make it unlocked, you do it from downloadmode. You may have to request a new token, if you changed cid or anything change it back first

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
There are more expensive ways
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] g-member:
Back in the days all android developments where free.....

25 usd is waaaay to much......

If supersu devs charged 1usd for their hard work they would be rich....... 25 dollar.... Pffff... Ridiculous
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cyrusct82:

Another one

That thinks that every thing is for free
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KennyG123:
Back in the day a method didn't require buying thousands of devices at $600 a piece!

But you are welcome to spend that, develop your own method and then give it away or charge $1!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nkk71:
I usually prefer not to reply to these kind of posts/questions, but seriously,

enough is enough already

:rolleyes:

"Back in the days" (still applies today)...

I never got any phone (Android based, or not) for free

None of the proprietary code is anywhere to be found

Even the kernel source code is held back as long as possible (dunno much about that, but I **think**, it

has

to be released by the manufacturer, as "openly" as possibly, within a time-frame, and with "less bugs")

This is a "Paid Software" thread, whether it's 25cents, 1$, or 25$

^^ the devs have more than enough right to charge what they see fit, it is their software, and whether they choose to provide it at a loss (not free... at a loss: as servers, patches, time, etc. is actually a cost) is up to them

The support and help provided by the devs is still unparalleled imho, it extends far beyond helping "only" get S-OFF

Do I really need to go on???

Finally,

you are neither forced nor obliged

to use this software. As a matter of fact, you don't even need to change anything about your phone.... Technically it's supposed to work "as is" when you bought it

You want to "mod" it to a certain extent, then there "may" be ways (depending on how much is allowed by your phone's manufacturer and/or carrier)

As for the rest of us, we're glad this solution is available.... I like it, I use it

If you don't then simply put: don't use it.... it's your

choice

!

/rant over
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] g-member:
You can rant all you want...... I really don't care

Fact is..... 25 dollar is absurt and that's my opinion.

I have never had to pay for root, custom roms, bootloaders etc.

I shared tons of information over the years, build roms, kernels and apps.... Bricked many phones just as many other devs...... And they don't charge for there work.

But i get it....... Sunshine has a monopoly position at the moment being the only one who can s-off some devices. Sad development...... But f*ck it, never ever am i paying this for an obsolete device.

Its already been said a billion times that it doesn't work on mini or mini2 for now...

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

Did you do the sense to gpe conversion? If not you can still flash it...if yes flash a gpe Rom a stock one and try again..

Normally if you are on gpe even conversed you could flash a sense Rom if I'm not mistaken...and if you have s-off its better to never s-on again ...Because if you really did the conversion you could be really f%cked up :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] morktista:
Yeah I did the conversion then by mistake s-on, viperone and other sense ROMs won't complete the flash and I've hboot 3.18. The only one that went on was cm
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Try again on a complete stock gpe Rom...but maybe the devs can help you to get it working on gpe
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] morktista:
That would be fantastic. I wouldn't mind a stock gpe again. Maybe its time to try again.

I downloaded SunShine S-Off right now... I tried to chevk if that device (HTC One M8) is compatible, but after 1s, it says that the combination of my kernel/rom is not supported. I does not even ask for root access. I'm on ARHD 8.1 + ElementalX. It says that i have to install a stock based rom, but ARHD is the " stockest" rom for M8.... What could i do?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Lupus77:
Stock Kernel. Elemental is not stock.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bbrannack:
Do you have your stock rooted back up still? Flash that then run sunshine, that's how I did my m8. Worked perfectly. Good luck.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Puff1911:
Don't bother trying it with any of the customs roms or kernels.. no matter how close to stock they claim to be.. easiest to just go back to stock and do it.

in the General forum there is a thread for Stock backups..

download the one u need and restore it from recovery then run Sunshine.

I had two M8 phones on Viper and it wouldn't work, I flashed the stock ROM and everything went smoothly after that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] guidogsbn:
With original / not custom rom and kernel + recovery I got my dual sim m8 s-off and rooted in 3 minutes!:cool:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
ARHD is in no way stock, the rom chef is greatly mistaken on that. We found multiple serious issues in his ROM and attempted to help him, but he was uncooperative. I have to advise against his ROM.

Your best bet is to flash a true stock firmware, or read this thread for ppl mentioning known working ROM/kernel combos.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] AlbertoSONIC:
You may be right, anyway i solved it by flashing stock kernel... At least now it passes compatibility test (it ask the payment) but i've not s-offed yet. I'll keep you updated!

P.S. After a quick look at ARHD, it seems a Stock rom with some build.prop tweaks and xposed customization... Why do you say that is not a stockish rom? I'm really curious!

Because it was having odd problems so we took a deeper look. It has or at the time had changes made that broke or altered the expected behavior of standard APIs.

Oh, that's strange... Anyway, thank you for SunShine S-Off!

A little question: in your site (theroot.ninja) you written that you bricked some devices before getting SunShine to work... How many? And what did you do with bricked devices?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rkdku:
Hi,

I'm running ARHD 10.1 (no custom kernel) which is incompatible with Sunshine.

Could someone point me to a stock Sense 6 rom that I can flash, which is compatible? I'm on the HTC One M8 International version.

Also, if I do a nandroid backup on TWRP of my current setup (ARHD etc.), perform a wipe, install the stock rom, use Sunshine to get S-OFF, and then wipe again and restore from the nandroid backup that I did (to go back to ARHD and my current setup), would this work? Would I still be S-OFF?

Thanks in advance!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Specifically on SunShine, I believe one (damaged physically, when taking device apart to force a reset) , maybe two. During research? Many, research is a long process.

If possible, jtag them to get them booting again, otherwise I have a box in my desk where my bricks go.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
I can't recommend a stock rom that is compatible, but I can say yes that should work and you should retain s-off.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nkk71:
I'm not here to rant, or anything else for that matter, ... if you feel your device is obsolete (was it free?), by all means, go ahead and voice your opinion. I am just voicing mine, unless I'm mistaken, I "may" do so, perhaps my tone is not to your liking, but that's a different matter.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KennyG123:
So please feel free to leave this thread! This is support for those that need it. You don't need S-Off to root. Go... Have fun! Of course if you decide you do need it, then you can pay $50 for someone to Jtag you some S-Off. But if you do not want support here and only wish to whine, then heed this moderator's request and take it to social media and not here. Thank you for your cooperation!

What's interesting is when people post opinions like these on a development forum as if anybody reading them cares about their opinion. Let me tell you sir, we don't.

Hi all - thanks for making such a great tool. Question about the Verizon HTC 10 - for the mail in service, are you folks opening the phone to jtag it, or are you working through simple external interfaces and software? I looked back several pages but couldn't find an answer. I understand if that's not information that you're willing to reveal.

Hello all. This is one of maybe 10 posts by me on xda that has nothing to do w/ vzw galaxy s4. It was my first root but I'm soon getting a vzw m9 and dont know much about the root game on it. I haven't even looked at "about device" on this phone yet but I'm already excited that your software is a potential bootloader unlock for me depending on the device. Hopefully I'll be scrounging for $25 soon. ? What does this successfully working for me depend on? Current firmware? Device variant? Current bootloader? Can success be determined just by checking the "about device" on it or will I need to check certain things with a specs app? Thanks all.

Also, its dirtier than I keep my devices which makes me wonder if it would benefit from any kind of internal cleaning ergo sensor windows, speakers, speaker grills, camera. I guess I'm asking if there's any reason to disassemble it to check internals. I've switched logic boards and cleaned power buttons in s4s and this m9 is filthy compared to my stuff.

Thanks again.

Assuming you mean Verizon m9, sunshine only supports the latest (marshmallow) firmware, so just make sure you've taken all OTA before running sunshine
