It is truly amazing how some people just don't have a clue. Anyone who thinks that charging $25 for s-off is unfair, consider this:

They are the ones spending thousands of dollars on equipment and phones. They are taking a risk. They are doing the work that nobody else here is willing or has the knowledge to do. This is not open source. Nobody is forcing you to s-off.

It's really no different than when they used to win the s-off bounty here, nobody complained about them winning the bounties, they just didn't pay up.

If you still think it should be free, go out and buy a bunch of $600+ phones, specialized equipment, actually write a software based s-off for many different models and give it to us for free. Nobody is stopping YOU from coming up with a better solution.

All you whiners need to put your time and money where your mouth is........yeah, that's right, I didn't think so.

If you still think it should be free, then you can't put 2 and 2 together, the world revolves around you, and you throw tantrums when you don't get what you want. Get a shrink, and blame your mother and father.

Thanks again jcase, beaups, and the rest of the team. You guys rock.

Sorry for feeding the trolls in advance.

Quick stupid question. I just received my Dev edition of the M9. I know it has unlocked bootloader right off the bat but do I still need to S-off?

Yes I have read the threads but do understand HTC changed a few things in this iteration.

Thanks!

You better wait for the coming OTA and till the things are clear..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] markwebb:
Which OTA is that? I thought the camera fix was already released??

It is not necessary, but it makes things easier sometimes. (speaking from past experience with the HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE)

ARHD Warning

ARHD roms may not be compatible with SunShine, due to issues rebooting. We advice users to backup, flash a stock rom or known compatible rom, after s-off restoring the rom of your choice.

Sunshine & AT&T 4.28.502.1

Any issue with Sunshine not getting s-off on AT&T's stock Lollipop ROM for the m8? Should I avoid this OTA and stick with 4.4.4?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Not that we are aware of, but personally I recommend getting s-off before updating, then update

And this is supposed to be healthy competition?I thought you could afford more. :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Your comment confuses me greatly. It makes no sense to me.

We are not in competition with any Rom developers, neither of us make roms, neither of us promote any roms, nor do we use custom roms. This is this about affording anything.

I can not force rom developers to address bugs, I can only attempt to bring them up. When they are continuously not fixed, I can attempt to work around them as we have done in SunShine, however if those attempts are not always successful then I have nothing I can do.

I'm sorry, I did not notice that it was about you. I was convinced that I write in the subject viper rom.

It was the answer to their description: https://twitter.com/TeamVenomROMs/status/591294005876563969
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] luxandroid:
Happened to me too, sent phone for repair, in most cases motherboard is not the one U change when touchscren dies partially, so in unknowing that It will be changed I lost my S off, they have zero understanding even I gave proof for my words. Worst support ever,they are just greedy, not care about end users. Great tool for which I don't regret paying but obviously regret for money going into such hands. Cheers
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Yea. Very sorry about that comment from our team. We just had a laugh. The ARHD dev was contacted according to the SunShine team developers and had his chance, several times, chose not to respond, so, yea, we did and our ROM appears to work.

But to appease you a little: Viper has had its issues and flaws with SunShine and it did take some time to work it out, so, yea, the laugh was more about devs actively choosing not to support the most prominent S-OFF solution rather than the actual ROM.

Its friendly teasing. No harm done.

You were aware, or should have been aware of our terms before purchase. You can not blame us for what you do with your device, or if you effectively give away your license like you did.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
We have no association with venom/viper roms, nor do we use their roms. We had issues with their roms early on, we worked around some issues, and advised fixes for another, which they implemented.

Really, my only recent rom experience is tracking down sunshine conflicts.

If you have concerns about a rom, or how a rom developer handles themselves you need to address the rom developer directly, not myself as I have no control over them.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] luxandroid:
I were aware of terms, but you are not aware that mbo is changed and it shouldn't, that is what happened and you have no understanding, just your terms mentioning, where is your common sense to realize that I am not responsible for what happened nor you. That's why you should consider but NO

You are responsible for your own device, any time you send one in you run the risk of a swap, its common knowledge. If you dont make effort before hand to ensure the same device is returned then its entirely on you. It is NOT my fault.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] treIII:
Not many have a problem with paying $25. Its that they must purchase again even if its the same device. Thats what I've noticed in most complaints. A solution to this would be a formal receipt. Unless of course there is a receipt now. I don't think there are was when I purchased this app. It used to unlock the boot loader and s off. I have a phone on 4.4.4 and it will not unlock the boot loader and its a phone that I've already paid for sunshine with. I had screen replacement and now it won't unlock the boot loader though its still on 4.4.4 kinda stinks but not the end of the world.

Since its the same phone [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] has already stated that the license is still valid. Go to their support page and put in a ticket, or wait for him to respond to your post.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] luxandroid:
It's pain, we have warranty on our device and it's components but we don't get new licence if it's replaced by warranty, that is not fair, of course if you can provide evidence that is replaced, now I am on mercy and luck or to buy new one...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
If it is the same device, you don't need to purchase again. Just run the app again.

If it is NOT the same device, then our policy was stated to you on site and in app before purchase.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
You agreed to the policy, and I have already spent over two hours working with you. I have gone out of my way to talk you through the process.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Then the issue isn't sunshine not working, its flashing firmware not compatible with our temproot.

Go to htcdev.com, unlock and root with TWRP, you can then use sunshien to get s-off/sim unlock.

Not sure if this is related to going S-Off or not.... So I just went S-Off and superCID then flashed the 1.32.400.17 firmware even though this is a T-Mobile M9. And prior to all of this never got this before. But even after a full wipe and ROM flash I get the attached error at all boot ups. Anyone know what's causing this and how to fix?

Before I purchase Sunshine, I want to verify that it will work when I update my Verizon HTC One M7 to 5.0 Lollipop, when it releases. Right now I am on 4.4.3, and sunshine says all preconditions are met and that it would work. If I unlock my bootloader and S-off my phone, will it still be rooted and the rest when I update to 5.0?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] c5satellite2:
S-off will remain unless you change it back to s-on. OTA, Roms, or RUU do not affect s-off or unlocked. You may lose root, but that is easy to get back. TWRP will do it for you.

You may have to relock your bootloader to take an official Verizon ota. But then again you might as well go with a custom Rom if you are bootloader unlocked anyway.

Now go free your phone!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] madskills843:
Hmmm not sure how did a full wipe and didn't restore anything. We'll I was told might be a permission issue.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Koolstr:
Thanks for the info. I'm gonna go free my phone :D

Yea you're right, I might as well load a custom rom, considering the stupid amount of time it is taking for Verizon to approve the darn thing. But I've never flashed anything before, so can you point me in the direction of a place where I can find out what I'd need to know? And do you have any recommendations for a rom to use? Last question, would the custom rom be at least close to as stable as the official Verizon ota would be?

Thanks again for your help.

I have a Verizon HTC One M8 with Lollipop 5.0.1. I was s-off and rooted with TWRP recovery before I updated the phone. Obviously didn't realize that installing the prompted update would undo that. So the question I have is, is there any way I can get it on this version of lollipop? Can't seem to find anything online. Seems like Sunshine which I paid for a while back for this phone isn't working for this Verizon lollipop version of the phone. Am I screwed? HELP JCASE! :confused:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jauhien:
Check in the BOOTLOADER - does it read S-OFF there..?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jbfountain:
Yeah your phone should still be S-OFF. Sunshine just can't S-OFF Version One M8 phones that have lollipop that don't have S-OFF yet. You should be able to root your phone again.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DWDahlinger:
Ok so I'm having a whole other issue now... I do have s off and I'm unlocked. I flashed TWRP and tried flashing the latest SuperSU but it failed on multiple attempts. WinDroid says I'm already rooted when I try to do it but SuperSU gives me this message when I open it, "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" Then it tells me to visit the forums for this problem so here I am.

SIDE NOTE:

I remember when I originally unlocked and rooted the phone I did a temp root because I was having an issue rooting. All this makes me assume that there's some type of root files, probably out of date, that is showing WinDroid that I'm rooted and preventing me from using SuperSU. I would try to locate them but for some reason (I assume Lollipop) I can't access my system files anymore. My ES File Explorer just shuts down when I try. I know one of you guys has got an answer for me.

Sorry for OT post.

I know you don't consider this an ETA, but it is. Asking whether it's coming or is close is still asking for an ETA. We know they are working on it, so out of respect it is best to stay patient. I know you meant no harm in it, but it's still rude. Also Jcase keeps us up to date pretty well, and if you check out the threads in the VZW M9 sections (or simply clicking on his username and checking out his recent posts) you'd see that he posted that they successfully have the VZW M9 S-OFF, but it is not a safe easy method to distribute, and are working on that.

No need to apologize to me. I know you personally, I know you meant no harm in it. :good:

Just wanted to let you know from a Developers stand point of being asked for an ETA. Whether direct or indirect the question still remains the same, you want to know when it's coming. We all do, but we need to do our best to wait patiently as we DO know they are working on it. Also as I mentioned above Jcase does a great job of keeping us informed, as do most Developers, like myself so that you don't need to ask the ETA question.

No harm done, my friend.

All good, was only trying to help. Glad you got it figured out.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JulesJam:
It's not bootloader unlock, but if you want root you can use mofo.exe if you can make a pre-rooted system image. The Droid Turbo and Moto X 2014 now are rooted and have a variety of pre-rooted images to choose from to flash. On the MX14, we have root, busy box, sqlite3 and Xposed as well as free WiFi tether for those with UDP. Write protection is still enabled, but by using symlinks, a poster was able to create an image with AdAway, too. Someone was also able to create a pre-rooted image with a different boot animation.

It is not the same as having an unlocked boot loader of course and with write protection still enabled, you need to have the features baked into the pre-rooted image before you flash it. But I couldn't be happier with free WiFi tether, AdAway and Xposed. There really isn't anything else I need for my uses.

Do you have a system.img for your Droid Ultra? If so, I can try to help you create a pre-rooted image for your device. Post over on the MX14 MoFo thread if you are interested in this but to begin the process, I need the system.img file.

back s-on and so (HTC one m9)

Hi, I have two questions:

1. Is there any method to get back s-on?

2. I need s-on because my touchpanel is freaking sometimes, so i need to have warranty back. Once they give me back my m9, do I need to buy this s-off again?

Thank you,

Michael
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] miggsr:
There is a way to get s-on again no worries there. You will most likely get a new device or refurbished if you use your carriers insurance. If you go thru HTC then you'll most likely be under the Uh-oh protection. HTC will probably fix the same device. If you go thru HTC you won't have to pay again for 's-off if you receive same device back but if they swap it then you'll have to pay again
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] m4jkee:
where can i find the method for s-on?

Igo thru carrier,so i`ll pay again if i get new device? sh!t
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] miggsr:
Before you do that is your phone back on Stock software?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] m4jkee:
Not yet. But I am plannin it. I just need to be sure what to do.

Flash stock RUU

Lock bootloader and make my software status:oficial

Then I can do s-off.

I know how to do first two steps, but i dont know how to s-on. Can I s-on after locking bootloader. I need S-off to lock it, so i guess S-off part needs to be done at last.
