At This point you need to use sunshien to set s-off (I suggest using the S-OFF LOCKED option)

Then flash TWRP (get the latest TWRP from the XDA thread not twrp.me)

Then flash the latest supersu from within twrp.

and you are done
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Scoobz8390:
Thanks, how exactly do I run sunshine though, thats what im unsure about. I've downloaded the apk file..now what lol
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Easiest route is to download it with your phone, and just click the notification for it.

Alternatively install it with adb

adb install SunShine-latest.apk
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kisakuku:
Then you won't obtain root and all your extensive prep was in vain...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Scoobz8390:
I'm not trying to be a ****...just its not in my nature to pay money for stuff like that...especially $25....but is paying for the app literally the only possible way? I'm guessing even if it wasnt, noone would tell me as they expect me to pay like everyone else.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Yes there is an alternative, you can do what [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] and I did. Spent years of work, buy stacks of phones, and write your own solution.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sd_shadow:
Yes, paying is The option
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Scoobz8390:
I'm assuming just for verizon as well?

My buddy has HTC 10 on sprint...rooted it no problem. didnt use sunshine.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sd_shadow:
depending on the exact model, yes

Verizon usually makes deals with the manufacturer that makes unlocking and rooting difficult
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Sprint allows for official unlocks, Verizon does not
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Scoobz8390:
thanks for the help. Guess ill sit here and debate spending $25.

Thats a bottle of vodka..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Uzephi:
That is 1/32 of the way towards a new phone for them to exploit. It wasn't one phone and done. They probably bricked at least 6-10 Verizon model HTC m10's for just supporting that one device. This exploit wasn't cheap for them to make.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] simonbigwave:
how helpful is this post? $25 for S-off os a bargain for what you get and for all the hours and $$ buying phones..and great suport, so their team can make S-Off available....comparing S-Off to a bottle of vodka is just pointless IMHO.

I installed sunshine on my HTC one M7 and it ran it's tests, said it could do S-OFF and I ran through and did the purchase. That all worked great, it got to the point where is says:

"Your device is ready to be unlocked/s-off'd! Please follow the prompts. Your phone will power off when the process is complete. Press "Continue" to get started"

then in the bottom left it says "Success!" and in the bottom right "Continue".

I press continue, the progress bar goes to about 50% across, the phone suddenly goes black and reboots then it boots back into the desktop and sunshine comes back up again with the exact same message as above. I click continue again, rinse and recycle. I've gone through this cycle 6 times. Is something wrong or do I just have to keep trying until it's successful?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hrrhacker:
I tried more than 10 times with my visa debit card to buy code but showed that card declined and now showing that The card information is invalid Please correct and submit again why ?? I have nothing more than a VISA debit card to pay for it. The Card is OK from bank side Or please give me one code for free i will donate it later to you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Uninstall sunshine, reboot twice and attempt again.

All we can see if that the bank declined the transaction, sorry. They dont tell us why
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaiLoi:
Hey jcase, thanks for the suggestion.

Did that but what I'm finding now is that it's getting less far along than before. It now completes the initial tests with "success" and asks me to click to allow the final suite of tests and it seems to reboot randomly during the final suite. I've run it a few times. It got through to the S-OFF "go" point again, but again went into the cycle of reboots that I saw before. Any suggestions? I'm running a pretty basic venom rom. Should I reflash it with the "as close to stock as possible" option?

Hi [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION]

Are you going to support the last update

Droid turbo xt1254 MCG24.251-5-5

I hope so my Droid update by it self before I unlocked by sunshine
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Paul.ryan:
I used sunshine to unlock the boot loader on an AT&T HTC One M9 and I thought sunshine had finished everything. I then used fastboot to boot TWRP and install SU but failed to recognize that it was still S-On. Something has failed and the phone boot loops with a warning

"This build is for development purposes only Do not distribute outside of HTC........"

What are my options?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
You used an incompatible version of su

Flash Supersu 2.65, if that doesnt fix it either flash stock RUU and flash 2.65 or flash a rom

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Behold_this:
I know the temp root doesn't work on the T-Mobile variant M9, but any idea if sunshine can still s-off with the nougat update T-Mobile and HTC just began pushing?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
I dont see why it couldnt, I suspect if they did manage to patch the M9 we could work around it quickly
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Uzephi:
Boost is a MVNO of Sprint. If their phones are the same, it is a CDMA only phone if it works the same as other Sprint HTC phones.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
nope, most sprint phones are dual, Sprint HTC a9 is both cdma and gsm, hardware wise it is identical to the AT&T variant
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Uzephi:
I stand corrected. I just remember people soft bricking the Sprint M8 and assumed later models were the same.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vladdangel:
I'm sorry but paid development apps are wrong. It should be free. We are a community of people helping each other, aren't we? So instead of asking for donations like a respectable developer, you gate it off to only people who can afford to throw away 25 dollars...

The thing is, if they were to have a minimum donation of $5 and options to donate more would open it up to people who maybe need to keep that extra 20 dollars to feed themselves or those in my position that have to explain any purchase over 20 bucks to their wife.

Also, I donated 50 dollars to you well before you added this pay gate. I wish I knew you were going to do this because I want to take it back now...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
If you donated to me, it was sent to a charity, likely Special Olympics or a Homeless charity, as I have done with nearly every penny that has been sent for a donation (I have bought my kids pizza a few times, when the donators told me to spend it on my kids).

A minimum donation makes no sense, at that point it isnt a donation, if there is a minimum it is a purchase. Funds from SunShine go into further research, it funds our research. We still continue to release some things for free, somethings we put in sunshine, but publish details for free (No one has bothered to implement and release these for free, why? it is expensive and difficult to do so).

If SunShine ran on donations, we wouldn't support over half of the devices we do. Especially newer HTC and Motorola devices, these models required purchasing many devices for R&D.

If you think donations make up enough to fund such a project, then I suggest you try it. Watch as you spend $2100 on a phone (cough LG G3, had to buy three of these stupid things to get it done), then receive a small fraction of that in return (not even enough to cover 1 phone).

Regarding your wife, if you have to justify a $20 purchase to her, I don't know what to tell you. I know I don't police my wife's purchases, and she doesn't police mine.

Funny how entitled people expect us to invest thousands of dollars, and years of our lives for them, to never ask for anything in return. I know when I want my roof redone, I paid for it. When I needed a cedar tree cut down, I paid for it. I know when I want someone to spend time and money to do something for me, that I am going to pay for it.

If you don't want to pay for it, don't use it. Do what we did, learn from the ground up, and do it yourself. We have published A LOT of FREE training material, vulnerabilities and open source exploits, that you are welcome to review and learn from. After you spend your hard earned money on things like IDA Pro, and phones, you can develop your own sunshine alternative and release it for free.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
I went through every donation I have received since 2010 (since I started with Android), searching for your username, your real name and your email address, so I could refund your donation. I found nothing, please inform me how it was sent so I can send it back.

*edit beaups did as well, he didn't find anything from you either.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fox793:
Thanks for your efforts, jcase. I waited too long to unlock or s-off my HTC 10, and now it's running Nougat and Sunshine can't get temproot. I'll be happy to drop $25 on Sunshine whenever you find a temproot exploit for this build :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Until then, you can always htcdev it to unlock it, and then if ou want you can use sunshien for s-off
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KARIM9377:

Hello Devs and all i have a question.

I truly like my M8 i have it since the release of this device and i will not change it for difrent phone untill something grab my attention for me M8 is Legend even compared to the 10 and 3 years later is still a beast.

For my bad i drop it severel times trought the years and use it hard.. so sometimes i have issues like losing signal etc and i just get another M8 second hand

My old m8 is S OFF ROOTED of course full working other custum firmware software and everything.

The new one is second hand running stock firmware and software of course and since is 3 years old model i get it second hand in good working order for 100 Bucks my question is as far as i understand i cannot S OFF the "New M8" like i did before? with Firawater

What i can do to fully unlock the device? i will not complain if i get a brand new phone for payng extra charge but hey i got 100 bucks phone

my question is if i change the motherboard of the phone with my Old phone motherboard that is fully unlocked do this will work? or what i should do.

hello -- any chance there will be current or future discounts with cost of sunshine approaches 1/4 cost of phone on used market.

I personally have paid for 2x Sunshine activations (HTC M8 -- $50). I'm putting together some (now) cheap phones for kiddos and the $25 fee approaches 1/4-1/3 cost of used phone. I totally understand all the history/time/support/etc. The fee makes complete sense for a "contemporary" phone $400+.

yes. I am just whining. I would respectfully ask for a price-plan appropriate for old hardware (example: four+ years old .. three model generations old). maybe a lower cost with no support/etc.?

I did check ninja home FAQ before posting this.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
I understand your view, but here is our view:

The time/money cost of adding support for say, Verizon HTC m8 on latest firmware, was the same as doing it for HTC 10. When devices are updated, we often have to start from scratch, so there is really not any difference. And to boot, number of ppl getting it for older devices is less than newer ones.

Additionally we have issues like, people trying to fake the phone model to cheat the pricing, and the ever existing people who complain they paid X and the price now lowered (I lowered an app from $2 to $1, and I saw 100s of these). The logistics of safely doing this would be huge, especially considering how our build environment would be.

For now, and foreseeable future we will probably keep all models priced the same. I will bring this up with everyone involved, and get their thoughts however.

Remembering all my sunshine s-offs on HTC M7,M8,M9 &10 the missing answers/announcements for HTC Ultra now seem to show some problems. Maybe the early firmware upgrade distroyed the plans of an early s-off. But as there is no alternative I will wait until they let me pay my 25 $ again:laugh:
