The OTAs for 1.26+ firmware versions of U11 (TW 1.26.709.3, HK 1.27.400.9) have new abl and other security-related partitions. Any idea if updating could affect our ability to get S-Off once it is available?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
SunShine 3.5.7 is out!

Adds support for HTC U11

READ the pop up dialog. S-OFF last until next reboot, still provides the all same functions as previous S-OFF, with the exception of allowing custom aboot/hboot.

For now, S-OFF from SunShine on the htc u11 is temporary. Changes you make while S-OFF will stay, they are not temporary, just the S-OFF flag is. All the same features, with exception of the ability to use custom hboot/aboot. Seriously, aboot patchers, don't bother trying at this point. Once you reboot into Android or Recovery, the device will reset back S-ON.

Changing mid, changing cid, downgrading etc all still work fine. If you want to change it a second time, just run sunshine again.

If/when a forever s-off comes, those with temp s-off will be upgraded at no cost.

So it always works in s-off locked as in htc 10? Or does it only run s-off without bootloader?

Congratulations you are numbers one?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kisakuku:
Thank you for the release and for future support of changing bootloader status back to Locked!

Is it safe to flash custom splash images?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
So can i now debrand my Three branded U11.. it would be great if someone explain in few steps for us new to the HTC.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Can you CID to match the ruu you are flashing (Fastboot oem writecid XXXXXXXX) then flash teh ruu

I don't see any reason it wouldn't be, but havent done this in YEARS.

We dont offer s-off locked at this point, you need the bootloader unlocked

Thanks

How can I change the MID of my HTC U11 to 2PZC10000?

I have temp S-OFF on my U11, of course. Thx [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION]

And I changed the CID to 11111111 as well.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Use sunshine, drop into download mode

fastboot oem writecid 11111111

fastboot oem writemid <mid goes here >

That should do it, however I'm not a personal fan of changing mid
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] paborges:
I have an htc u11 with the bootloader already unlocked (from htc dev). Want s-off to chance cid.

Will sunshine installation wipe all my data?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] microcris:
No.

I just changed CID to SuperCID and it didn't wipe anything.

I'm on version 1.13.401.1 and everything went very smooth.

Thank you SunShine :)

Hello, how can I go back to locked?

HTC u11 . Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Can't at this point
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] frostbits:
Is not the cmd: fastboot oem lock ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
that would set it to relocked
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] frostbits:
And why not locked? What's the problem?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
oem lock ALWAYS has set it back to relocked on HTC
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] frostbits:
When I go s-off with sunshine, it's easier to get locked?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JEANRIVERA:
is there such thing as SuperMID just like there is SuperCID? sorry if it is a stupid question or it has been answered before
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Nope.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nkk71:
And what is *SuperMID* supposed to accomplish? I'm personally not very fond of changing MID, but I do believe in Unicorns :)

edit: ninja'd again
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JEANRIVERA:
I was trying to avoid the need to have a matching MID to the RUU I want to flash.....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nkk71:
Then don't change the phone's mid, if you mean something not often referred to as ModelID (as opposed to modelid), the former one does actually take wildcards, the latter does not

And you really dont want to confuse your phone into thinking it's a tripple-sim-htc-M7 :P
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Really best not to change your MID, if you want something from another MID RUU best to take those components and flash manually.

Personally, I ALWAYS avoid flashing low level firmware from other MIDs.

It absolutely CAN be safe, and I know a lot of people that do it successfully, I just choose not to bother.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] paborges:
If I change to supercid can I usd firmware from any region? Or do I have to change MID as well?

With supercid do you receive the firmware from system update OTA or do you have to manually download it? For instance, with supercid will you receive new firmware ahead of other specific cids?

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
SuperCID allows you to use any firmware for YOUR MODEL. Each phone can have several models (HTC 10 has 3 i think?). You still get OTAs if you are stock etc.

If you are flashing a different model (mid) firmware, then you need to change the mid. You want to find confirmation that the firmware works on your model first.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Shaffer678:
Will Sunshine work on the z2 force? Or possibly in the future?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JEANRIVERA:
[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] or [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] I guess we can't re3move the 5 seconds delay on boot for the U11 with this S-OFF right? that is related to the aboot/hboot?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Right. It's the new version of the red boot text. And the Two already stated that they wouldn't time with the boot for the time being and maybe even if it was possible to do.

Personally those boots tinkered with are a risk one shouldn't ever take at all.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MvD66:
SunShine does not run on my HTC Sensation (Android 4.0.3): There is a problem parsing the package.

Any ideas?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] carminuccio:
hi, I have a HTC U11 and I installed sunshine 3.5.9 to do the s-off. After a few days I realized I was s-on I tried to flash the new firmware, 1.27.401.5, when I turned on the phone no longer has any signal, no root permission, no commands from promt and has recovery stock. I tried to flash all the firmware in the excel file and also all the previous RUUs but always the same mistake I carry as an image. Now i have viperU 1.7 and if i try to make a temporary root with sunshine it does not go. How can I fix the problem?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JEANRIVERA:
you need to flash TWRP in download mode or bootloader mode not sure reflash rom viper to have a proper root active then run sunshine again for S-OFF
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] carminuccio:
I do not have any action in adb. I have tried flashing the recovery but it does not start on the device.

Right now i'm s-off, recovery stock, no root and unlocked
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JEANRIVERA:
If you are S-OFF that means you have properly run sunshine already
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] carminuccio:
i'm s-on sorry and unlocked with viperU no root
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
I already told you what to do in pm.

Flash a STOCK ruu, then twrp, then magisk.

We cant run rom support here, just sunshien support
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] carminuccio:
The problem caused sunshine with temporary s-off. Also when I flashed the stock firmware the phone was s-on and I disappeared the root and I can not flash twrp even though I'm unlocked ....

flashing the ruu 1.13 I see this error https://www.dropbox.com/s/p4wsblivzmon7ir/IMAG2486.jpg?dl=0
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Problem is not caused by sunshine with temporary s-off.

Your root issue is ROM related. You can flash twrp in download mode while s-on.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] carminuccio:
[/COLOR]

I can not flash the twrp
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
remove your sdcard, reboot, try again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] carminuccio:
is from August 29th I have this problem ... do you think I did not have all the necessary evidence? I posted the question here because the problem caused me sunshine since s-off is temporary ... while the $ 25 are immediate and not refundable!

I would like at least answers, first of all educated, and then effective.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Do you want me help or not?

The problem is not SunShine related, SunShine cant not cause twrp not to flash, it can not remove root from viperrom. Yes the S-OFF on u11 is temporary, you were aware of this prior to buying sunshine, and prior to going s-off, unless you didnt read the warning in sunshine that says "Seriously, read this" on the u11.

I've given you advise, but you just want to argue instead of trying it for me.

If you want help, try what I suggest then provide feedback, otherwise I can't help you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] carminuccio:
I do not want to argue, I just want to solve the problem.

anyway if you meant while twrp flash I tried, nothing happens.

the phone appears to start downloading while the screen prompts the same.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Do it WITHOUT a sdcard, then screen shot terminal and picture of phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] carminuccio:
I removed the sd, tried to flash the twrp from the prompt and these are the screens.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
What all was done to the phone, what all was flashed modified or otherwise changed
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nkk71:
*cough*

2447KB

*cough*
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
as the ever wise nkk71 is pointing out, you have a bad twrp image.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JEANRIVERA:
Hahaha and suddenly no more claims....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] carminuccio:
being s-on and unleaked fake I could not flash anything from the prompt and so the only way to flash something on the phone was to rename a 2PZCIMG file. Within which I put the android.info file and the twrp recovery thanks to suggest me by ziand_ https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72875221&postcount=2095.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
You could have just used intact recovery as nkk71 pointed out, you were using an incomplete image based on the size of the file you were flashing
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] frostbits:
Why is complicated on HTC u11 to go back to locked? Why ist this not possible?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
It is hard due to increased security measures. It is possible, beaups has accomplished it, however to do it safely is another story. We are still trying to figure out how to release it, without people getting stuck. It will be very easy to get the device into a softbrick state with it if people dont follow directions. People dont seem to like to read warnings or directions, so yeah .
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] frostbits:
This is currently a good message, which is possible somehow. Many thanks for the answer.

I need to get my device replaced cause the power button is no longer working. I'm assuming the replacement will come with the latest official version, will sunshine be able to unlock it?

$25 that's too much price... why is it too expensive? does it have Resurrection power?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KennyG123:
If you spend a whole minute to read the thread...or have someone read it to you...you will see that the development of Sunshine costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to purchase devices and brick many of those devices making them worthless in order to get a working S-Off solution. Also like seeing a doctor, you are paying for the education of these fine developers to even know how to create such a product.

But feel free to invest your own money to create an S-Off solution and give it away...you will be a hero to all!

Or you can go pay $50 or more for someone to give you a hardware S-Off on some devices.

You don't need S-Off...it is a luxury

Have a nice day
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
were uneducated smucks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] paborges:
I will just ignore cheap people that complain about others people prices given to their hard work. 25 dollars is very fair. Even if it wasn't it's the price so take it or leave it.

I myself am considering to get but still confused over the advantages. Since no locking the bootloader is available the tool is basically for coffee changing.

Now for my question:

I have already been answered here that in supercid I may install firmware from any region.

What keeps me confused is if there are compatibility problems with the starting firmware.

Can I upgrade or downgrade any firmware regardless of what firmware I am I first place?

Can I jump updates for instance from the very first build to Oreo directly?

Can I just install a CID J15 build over a CID H60 build at any version (just an example)

Sorry if that is not clear
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
While some times you can mix match MIDs, I stay away from that. As long as the MID is the same, you should have no problem flashing a diff CID.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] paborges:
I see so of the mid match and I am with supercid I have freedom to just install any version (for the same MID) at any time? Just like installing any version of a custom ROM build?

Did I take it right?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
should be
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kisakuku:
Custom splash screen >> everything else.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] paborges:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kisakuku:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] valvaher:
when it will work on android 8?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
When it's ready.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] qriozum:
Wait until the final Oreo distribution to the remaining markets.

If the guys now publicized Sunshine for Oreo, then HTC would "patch" the gaps and implement them to OTA.

In the past, it used to be such a scenario.

In my opinion.

Hello all

I am unable to get Temproot on my U11 using Sunshine

The prompt says unlocking Bootloader from HTCdev.com and then trying a different root method might work.

Any tips on how to proceed or do i need to do what the Prompt says?

I don't care much about rooting. I just want to change my phone CID to a region where Oreo update has already been released (and possibly would receive future updates faster than my region - India)

Thanks!

Plz help.

I have got HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle, which I unlocked via 'htcdev'. I installed 'sunshine' apk and ran it. At the end it said, due to unique feature of the device, I need to relock and then use 'Sushine' again to unlock and get S-Off. I rebooted as per the on-screen advice, I relocked my device on the fastboot screen, but my device did not boot up, it stayed on 'fast boot' mode only. again I had to unlock through 'htcdev', then only my device came alive. How do I go to get S-off? It is a scaring experience.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
If you rooted or did anything else after unlocking you should restore to a point of pristine system condition, relock and run SunShine afterwards. Not booting after relock hints at any changes down to system or else after the unlock has been done.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
This isn't right, it means it is detecting the phone model incorrectly. Please submit a support ticket at http://therootninja.zendesk.com so we can figure out why and get this working for you.

A Question friends.

I can not update my Htc one M9e in Colombia, does anyone know what I can do? Thank you!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] skulldreamz:
I would say one of the biggest is to be able to flash firmware and to be able to downgrade your OS (having the ability to run a ruu that isn't specially made for your device). Also being able to change your mid & cid come in handy a lot. Being able to unlock your bootloader without htcdev. If your into modding, hacking, exploiting then s-off is a must. Oh yeah, to be able to flash custom kernels as well. There's a whole list of stuff [emoji6]

4.4.2 S-Off, latest SU, Sunshine

So, I got my HTC One M8, unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP, Rooted using SuperSu then I used Sunshine to S-Off and unlock my phone.

Now, I want to install the new OTA update to 4.4.3.

I want to use this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2755657 so I can receive the official OTA.

After I reinstall the stock recovery and install the OTA update, do I need to run Sunshine again on my device to unlock it? Do I need to pay 25$ again to unlock my phone?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Lupus77:
No and no. As long as you dont S-ON your device, you'll stay S-OFF. And you only have to pay again if you have a completely new phone. Or you logic board gets replaced in case of repair.
