What all do I need to do to return my m8 to HTC for repairs? And if I get a full replacement do I lose my license for sunshine?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jbfountain:
The easiest way would be to run a RUU, and then set the security flag to on by using the "fastboot write secure flag3" command. If you get the same phone back with the same motherboard you can run Sunshine again for no charge, but if they replaced the motherboard or give you a different phone you will have to pay for Sunshine again.

Can wait for the update that is compatible with htc on m8 5.0.1 .. =/
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Lupus77:
It already is? Just unlock via HTC Dev and root your phone. Sunshine will then S-OFF your HTC One.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hemal_s33:
If you use custom Rom then you don't need s-off. Just root access is enough.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jbfountain:
You're on Verizon then? Yea that sucks they don't have support for you yet. I wonder if you could change it to 4.x.x then use Sunshine to gain S-OFF. Then restore it back to 5.0.1. [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] is that possible or does having 5.0.1 change something that even if you convert to a previous version that worked with Sunshine won't work?

Sunshine is not working on HTC One m9, brand by orange poland. CID: ORANGEB10

I got warning on second test

Any help?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Black-FR:
Which warning is it, that you got?

I think the devs need a little bit more info from you.

Else they can't help you.

Gesendet von meinem HTC One M9
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] preston74:
My M9 passed pre-test. On secondd test i got warning information: " Your device is not stable enought at this time to run sunshine...".

Tested with Viper and LeeDrOiD roms.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Black-FR:
The ROM base matches your current firmware?

If not, then try it with the rooted stock ROM.

(I'm sure you made a backup, before you flashed any custom ROM)

Gesendet von meinem HTC One M9
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] preston74:
My firmware is: 1.40.69.8. So should be ok, right?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
This is an HTC bug we are working to address.

You can try to solve it by booting to download mode, unpluggin the phone and powering off. This solves it for about 50% of users.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Black-FR:
Yes, should be.

But I don't know, if sunshine is compatible to the new firmware.

I used sunshine without issues, with the old 1.32....

But maybe [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] or [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] could tell you, if sunshine should work with the 1.40.xxx.x or not.

Gesendet von meinem HTC One M9
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] preston74:
Its not working, still got same warning message.

Damm, i have make backup after upgrade to the 1.40.xxx.x firmware.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
then you have to wait for our next update, we are going to address it then
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] preston74:
Sure, i will wait.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jshamlet:
Nope, you have to be S-off to downgrade firmware - precisely to stop this very thing. An S-on phone will only allow you to restore the current version or upgrade.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jbfountain:
I wasn't aware that the firmware was updated. I guess they're going to have to wait until Sunshine is compatible then.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mick_soul:
Do you think sunshine will work with the M9 with 1.40.xxx firmware?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Yes, it should work now, however on some phones it will have a problem. We are working to address this now.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aaronrw:
Ok so if I get froggy will this allow me to unlock boot loader and s off my T-Mobile variant? TIA
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
what device?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aaronrw:
**** sorry m9
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Behold_this:
You will need to unlock your bootloader through HTC dev site, then root your device and then sunshine will work perfectly for S-OFF.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aaronrw:
So ultimately sunshine will provide me s off. I was hoping to avoid htcdev site lol. Thanks to all. The current release of sunshine is what I would want to use with current t mobile us variant?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dallasstars:
I apologize if this is not the correct thread, but I just got a new M8 (sprint) and was wondering what is the recommended next step(s) to get sunshine to s-off? Do I need to root the device first? Also, would it be unwise to do an OTA update to 5.0.1 before running sunshine? Eventually I would like to update to latest version of lollipop and probably run stock for now, but not sure whether it's better to update OTA or update after s-off
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Run sunshien as is if you are on 4.4.4 or lower, and get s-off, then update before doing anything else.

If on 5.x, root it first.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
People getting the unstable error, the 3.1.4 update will hopefully fix this for most of you.

The rest can probably fix it by booting into the bootloader (adb reboot bootlaoder), unplugging the device and powering off from the bootlaoder. Leave it for 2 minutes, then turn back on.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dallasstars:
I just checked and it's 5.0.2. So guess I will need to root. Is there any way to avoid using htcdev unlock?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] darkenedpath:
Unless you have a dev edition phone, nope. You have to use HTC dev.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dallasstars:
htcdev unlocked, twrp recovery, and rooted. Ran sunshine and went smoothly. Next is nandroid backup, and between two threads, gonna figure out if the native hotspot hacks works on 5.0.2. Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] preston74:
With 3.1.4 version i got unstable warning again. But in bootloader s-on has changed to s-err. Sunshine app say " your device is already s-off..."
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hynar:
Got the same "S-ERR" :(

Please inform me, if you got the sloution... :confused:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Sorry, some HTC changes it seems, I'm flashing the firmware responsible for it, and we are going to roll a fix for it ASAP.

Any updates on S-Off for Verizon M8 and M9?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] electrojas:
Is there anything else about this locked down dog I should know about? This is mainly a question from a total lack of knowledge with this phone. I've worked a lot with Sammy, and LG but never an HTC. Thanks fellas
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Behold_this:
For general device specific information, I highly recommend visiting your device's XDA subforum. This thread really is not the place for that type of question as it is solely for questions and info regarding Sunshine, which serves different oems and devices across many software versions.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] c5satellite2:
In fairness, IF they are using sunshine they are paying for it and charging the extra for doing the work including recovery and Rom installation. Should only lead to more sales for sunshine if that is in fact the case by attracting users who wouldn't do it on their own.

Yep that's fair enough I suppose but these guy's work has been hacked beforehand.

Still a bit of reading and patience will save even the least tech savvy 75 bucks lol
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jshamlet:
I'd step it up one notch further. Assuming they are buying licenses, even with a bulk discount, these are the sorts of folks you want to see - that is, people who are turning Sunshine into a business tool. It would guarantee a nice, solid revenue stream to fund development of newer versions. I would be downright worried if the only sales were to people who wanted to S-off a single phone at a time.

Also, seeing the continuous stream of fail in the device forums, offering a service like this is actually a great idea - as long as they are legit.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jbfountain:
Their probably using a Java card, but if they are using this tool it's all good for the Sunshine Boy's.

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION],

Sorry to bother you, but a question on Sunshine and the 2013 Moto X...

Are there any risks of future updates possibly re-locking the bootloader of those who used Sunshine? Like the 5.1 OTA that is beginning to be rolled out and tested, which includes TZ.mbn, updated bootloader, etc.?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Dont relock it yourself, OTAs shouldnt relock it but in all honesty we cant predict what OEMs do.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jshamlet:
I will add that Motorola has a history of relocking bootloaders with OTA updates. Motorola Photon/Electrify users that took the 2.3.5 update were permanently locked out of their bootloaders. If I were a Motorola user, I would definitely wait a few days and listen for the weeping and gnashing of teeth before taking an OTA update.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aaronrw:
Does htc have a history of this boot loader trickery with ota updates?

Today I received my M9 back from repair of the screen and the body.

In April SunShine.3.1 could successfull S-OFF my M9. But to the repair center I sent it S-ON.

Today SunShine.3.1.5 cannot S-OFF the same M9 because of an unexpected error. Firmware is still 1.32.401.15.

I send the IP SunShine told me to TheRootNinjaSupport.

After that I restored an older ViperOne Nandroid, same Build 1.32.401.15, and suddenly SunShine could successfully S-OFF my M9 :D

Maybee this is interesting for you.

Thank you again for your S-OFF possibility :good:

I came. I saw. I conquered. Thank you [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION], et al

I had to send my phone out to warranty repair (was using the Droid Charge for 2 weeks!!) And I got the phone back LUCKILY in 4.4.4 with the option of upgrading the software to lollipop. I had a lot of help from [MENTION=2586080]andybones[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION] for telling me to get Sunshine while I was still on Triple 4 and I did. Now I have to figure out what steps to take to update firmware, etc to 5.0.2. I think. I'll figure it out!

Thank you for a superb app and ease of the app. $25 is a nominal fee for me to just sit there and have everything done for me without ADB, Fastboot, etc. Thanks for the ease. I mean really easy use of this app!

Thank you guys so much I am now the proud owner of an HTC M8 with unlocked boot loader and S Off thanks again Sunshine developers well worth the $25

For those interested the phone was not boot loader unlocked by HTC Dev it was fully stock 5.0.1, I was able to use kingroot to gain temp root then used sunshine to complete the boot loader unlock and S Off, took a few goes but was totally successful thanks again??

3 questions:

Has anyone ever gotten this to work on a Verizon M9 running 5.+, even if it means using some unorthodox, jumping through fiery hoops method to do so?

Is there any harm in trying?

If I pay for it, and it doesn't work, which I'm sure it won't, will my money go towards a later version if and when it ever works on Verizon phones? Or will I have to pay again?

I used the king root app

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

I used the latest king root app and gained root first time, this was confirmed with root checker. I then installed sunshine and passed all tests, I then made payment for sunshine and sunshine began to try to unlock etc, this failed as during this the phone restarted and lost root, I then used kingroot again to reroot and tried using sunshine again, but when phone restarted again I immediately rerooted again with kingroot before starting sunshine again. This time when the phone restarted the sunshine app was gone from app drawer and upon checking I was bootloader unlocked and S Off, a bit long winded I know but I got there in the end, hope this helps

Hi, the app is KingRoot, right... I think you meant the "Android" as opposed to the "Desktop" although the distinction wasn't really made, would that be correct...

Well after trolling on some forums and doing some research. I must say sunshine really is worth it. I mean $25 to unlock everything and its easy as anything too. I have unlocked an htc one M8 it took like 2 minutes. You guys rock, keep doing what your doing :)

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

I think its the OS, I was having a lot of problems with a Droid DNA using sunshine but I found that the rom is screwed up I mean I cant use Weaksauce2 or anything with the DNA that I had and I think if I had access to an actual factory rom maybe it would have worked. I have a one M8 that has 4.4.4 and I used sunshine with that and it worked exactly as it said and was worth the money. I think in your case if you can find a full factory flash for your device and flash it back to factory, I think everything will work perfectly for you.

It is far from a simple tool, it is actually quite complex, and is larger than most apps with the exception of games with tons of graphics. It also has a small potential market, making recouping costs harder. Reasoning for the price is already laid out and explained on our site.

Most mail in s-off services are $30-60 + shipping, we purposely priced it below the competition and you don't even have to mail it out.

We don't need to call people nor their replies stupid. You are free to think what you want, but please keep it civil here.
