have tried

Firstly I tried to take it back to the repair shop they didn't want to listen stating the phone was working when they handed it back (phone was turned off). I have argued with them for hours and got nowhere.

Secondly I tried the htcdev but fails due to s-on I been searching the internet for a way to get s-off without any applications. I found an adb version but again s-on blocks device from being seen by the adb server.

I was wondering if there is a way to get s-off with fastboot as this seems to be the only thing that will work atm. Im trying the RUU method now but download the file it requires so will let you know
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
There is no way to get s off from fastboot. Ruu should fix.

What if I downgrade my HTC M8 from 5.0.1 to 4.4.4 and then I turn on the s-off, unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and update to 5.0.1. The bootloader still unlocked? Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
You can't downgrade an s-on device.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lugorcorp:
This is working without RUU, just be persistent with KingRoot and install the last version.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Axuk:
Sorry to bother you again bud, tried the RUU but it fails which would state that the RUU is incomplete. I cant flash a new one as debugging isnt enabled and recovery is corrupted also.

Any other idea's tried a couple of stock but with out knowing my cidnum or midnum im at a loss.

any help would be fantastic as i now been on this for 2 days

NOT ASKING FOR AN ETA! You say you have the ability to unlock Verizon HTC One M9s but the exploit is not ready to be released yet correct? Well what the whole Verizon M9 community is wondering is weather we should upgrade or not and my question to you is does your current exploit work on the current version? If you have not tried yet keep in mind that it would be profitable for you to do that and to tell us if it's fine to upgrade or not due to the fact that if a potential customer upgrades unknowingly you lose out on that potential business.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
We have answered this before.

We stated we dont have a root that works from an app, since that is the missing piece, we dont know if updating would be a kink for us or not.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] narms72:
Didn't you just tell me that your able to unlock and s off the Verizon m9 in that pm? I took this as you having an exploit my apologies. I didn't realize you where using a Java card. Screw it I'm upgrading I'm tired of it asking me everyday.

The fact that you have unlocked the Verizon M9 (if that's what I'm reading correctly) gives me new hope.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ElkHair14:
I'm confident that if there would definitely not be a solution for the Verizon M9 that we would be told so. My M8 was rooted via Sunshine, and has stayed rooted for quite a while now... surviving several subsequent OTA updates. Using the M8 while the M9 is powered down each evening to prevent accidental upgrade.

My time shall come...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FrickDude:
I say this hoping [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] doesn't settle for the current method being good enough. For now I'm waiting for Sunshine to be able to do everything on the Verizon Htc One M8 and not having to go through KingRoot and all the other steps. Anybody else waiting or am I the only one?

Thanks for all your hard work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FrickDude:
Tried KingRoot

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION]

For the heck of it (I got a bit impatient waiting for updates to Sunshine), I tried the method for the VZW HTC One M8 5.0.1 and my phone constantly reboots at inconsistent times either during or shortly after using KingRoot app and sometimes gets root access and sometimes fails. Of course it looses the root it gained after every reboot. I have rinsed and repeated for going on 5 hours now to no avail. I really hope that the Sunshine app will come with a new version that will take care of the VZW HTC One M8 5.0.1. so we don't have to waste so much time with the current inconsistent experience method.

Also, I check for new versions multiple times a day every day and since I see the versions so often I wanted to suggest adding release dates to the versions. I think that would be a nice touch. But I understand you have a life and don't need to do be bothering with any of this stuff. Sorry to keep bothering you.

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Sadly, we didnt write kingroot, so we cant really control it on the m8. When we can support it without it we will.

For now, its a try try try again kind of thing.

I will add release dates listed in the future, but you can also check the OP of this thread, I edit it each time a new release comes, so that does show the release date of the last one.

Verizon HTC One M8 5.0.1 UNLOCKED & S/Off'd!

So good news! After 9 solid hours of who knows how many times I KingRooted and Sunshined and phone forced restarting on me somehow the phone pulled through and I went from a Verizon HTC One M8 5.0.1 to now a Software Status: Modified Unlocked and S/Off'd owner. The only think I did from the guide is as follows. I never ran RUU or factory reset or cleared anything at all. This all worked on my phone that I have been running for over a year now.

I added the last tic to Step 3 after many hours of trying and then with High Performance Mode on it made a noticeable difference in how fast KingRoot & SunShine flew through it's Rooting process and going through the tests to perform the unlock and s/off. I definitely recommend that everyone turn that feature on if you have your phone plugged in and obviously if you are in a cool area to make sure your phone doesn't overheat.

1. Settings -> Location (on) -> Mode -> High Accuracy (selected)

2. Settings -> About -> Software Information -> More -> Build Number (tap repeatedly)

3. Settings -> Developer Settings -> USB Debugging (On) & Mock Locations (On) & (EXTRA STEP I ADDED) High Performance Mode (On)

4. Settings -> Security -> Unknown Sources (checked)

5. File Manager App -> Install KingRoot (v4.5.0.901)

6. Open KingRoot - Hit Root and repeat until it says you have root in this app.

7. Open SunShine -> Do tests (accepting accept everything as fast as possible)

8. Pay for Sunshine if it asks you too ($25 USD as you all know).

9. Allow it to reboot itself.

10. This is the second ~phase of the sunshine app process - You need to obtain root once more in KingRoot, re-enter the sunshine app,and finish off with s-off.

11. Verified Root Status with Root Checker Basic.

Thanks,

FrickDude

Do you have a root/BL unlock option for the VZW XT1254 running 5.1

Sorry if this has been asked before.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Eroth:
Kingroot is killing me. I got it to root, started sunshine, paid and then it instantly reset. I wasn't charged until it rebooted, but kingroot said it was rooted while root checker and sunshine said it wasn't. I uninstalled kingroot and I'm trying to reinstall it, but it won't take, no matter how many times I reboot or try.

Edit: Downloaded from a different source and it seems to have installed correctly. Man this system editing stuff is weird.

Edit2: And now kingroot keeps restarting in the middle of me trying to get sunshine to run. I don't have enough time before the restart happens and I lose root. half the time I can't get root in time.

Edit3: Finally got through the process of everything, but root needed to be reobtained with kingroot after I booted up. is thiis byproduct, or was it supposed to be permanent?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Tilgare:
You should be able to uninstall kingroot at this point. As long as you are S-OFF now, you can reboot to bootloader, flash TWRP recovery, and from within TWRP, flash SuperSU or your SU manager of choice.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beckerfj:
I was looking at purchasing a used Moto Droid Maxx XT1080m (non-dev edition) running 4.4.4. Based off what I read, Sunshine is working on some with 4.4.4. Does anyone know if the XT1080m is one of them? I'm having a hard time finding one running 4.4.3.

So is the only way to root the M8 with 5.0.1 really just to keep running Kingroot till it works?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Uzephi:
The Verizon model, yes. Other models can just use htcdev to unlock the bootloader and flash twrp and then flash supersu zip to get root.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] groovy_hoovy:

Well within a month I had to get two htc one m8 phones. The first was with the latest firmware. Rooted it with sunshine with paying the $25 then a few weeks later had to get another device. This one came with the 3.28.605.4 firmware. Do I still need to purchase sunshine again to root this one or do the earlier methods still work?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
SunShine licenses are per device, if you acquired a second device, you will need a second license.

I'm unaware of any software alternatives to SunShine.

jcase-

I have a XT1096 running 4.4.4 that I have successfully unlocked via Sunshine. Thank you!

My understanding is that I can upgrade to 5.1 or 5.1.1 (when released) to include upgrading the bootloader without fear of permanently losing root. After upgrading I would simply install TWRP and SuperSu to regain root.

Is the above correct? There is conflicting information being shared here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=62878929.

In the last 12 months I've unlocked three phones using Sunshine. Thank you for making this possible!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JulesJam:
Why do you want to upgrade the bootloader? The 5.1 ROMs/Kernels work fine with the 5.0 bootloader and parition table.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mbkintner:
It's not a matter of wanting to or not wanting to. I'm perfectly fine at the moment with 4.4.4. I just want to make sure I understand the situation for when I do eventually upgrade.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slogar25:
Yes after you unlock via sunshine you are to update the bootloader without fear of it relocking. The way our bootloader unlock works is a permanent operation as it blows a physical fuse
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mbkintner:
"Our bootloader unlock"?

No offense, but do you have some affiliation/connection to Sunshine that I don't know about?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
No he doesn't, he is referring to how motorola bootloader unlocks work.

Just dont relock it lol
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slogar25:
I'm not sure what you mean by this.

It has nothing to do with sunshine at all really, other than the fact it is the only way to unlock Verizon or ATT variants of the moto x 2014's. Your question, I thought, was if you updated your bootloader after you unlocked it using sunshine, would it still be unlocked. And the answer is yes. I was just talking about the way the unlock works for Motorola bootloaders

Sorry jcase, you beat me to the answer.lol
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mbkintner:
Thanks jcase and slogar25. You've confirmed my understanding. Basically once we unlock with Sunshine we will remain unlocked regardless of whether or not we upgrade to try latest bootloader. Like I said, there was some conflicting information being shared in the thread I linked to.

As for root.... regaining root after upgrading is a simple matter of installing TWRP and SuperSu even if we upgrade to 5.1. Correct?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Lostski:
Use the latest version on the kingroot site. The key is that you have to downgrade your device slightly (search s-on downgrade from dottat on xda) so that kingroot can work. It is a long process but if you keep at it eventually kingroot will hold the root long enough to follow these directions. It took me 33 completed roots before it stuck.

Make sure your device can reach the web before trying, and that you have no firewalls running.
