Ugh... Stupid Verizon...I wish I could change carriers
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fmedrano1977:
Well after passing test, I went ahead and bought it. During process mine powered off and never rebooted? oK to turn on? NEVERMIND! Thanks a bunch! It worked!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muzza19751975:
thank you

worked perfectly on my Telstra branded M9

a HUGE THANK YOU :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Basil3:
Yeah...maybe they should give you some kind of message that your device will power off at the end of the process or something.... [emoji6]

supercid after s-off

Hi, did anybody change cid to SuperCid after getting s-off? Downloadmode or Bootloader mode?

EDIT:

Did it in downloadmode
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] qriozum:
Confirm the action on the M9 SS3.1 HTC__102 CID and running ViperOneM9 v1.2.0 (obviously bootloader was unlocked before).

Guys [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION], [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] - sensational work !!

Great respect.

Hey guys, I'm just checking... No support yet for Verizon M8, yes?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] whosaysjohn:
thank you [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] & [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] ...this was fast and easy...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] star_2:
How long does the process take-off? Already takes me 45 minutes and its still display ..please wait ..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] broncogr:
Reboot and try again

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mick_soul:
Many thanks, M9 S-OFF now :D

THANK YOU, all went well!

So I haven't any chance to get app working? What do you advise - change network, wait for newer version, check connection somehow?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
You are still running the old version of sunshine.....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] valery.m:
Maybe. But I redownloaded apk from _h_t_t_p://theroot.ninja/apks/SunShine-latest.apk and result was the same. If this apk is outdated, I don't know where to get current version.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Did you uninstall the old version first? Use the link from theroot.ninja homepage.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] valery.m:
Yes, uninstalled previous version, even cleaned cache and rebooted the phone. Then installed latest apk. Still no luck. Sorry.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Perhaps your isp is caching some old version. If you come to irc we can get you straightened out.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] valery.m:
Thanks, i'll come to irc
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] valery.m:
My ad-blocking software was the reason of error. Now I'm S-Off.

Thanks devs!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
If you are using adblock software, particularly adblock plus SunShine may fail in some cases. This is because some how our licensing server is blocked. It hosts no ads, nor spam and never has so. However when we try to report it, our report gets block for spam. Since they won't accept our bug report, we can't get it fixed. Disable or uninstall it if you are having network issues with SunShine.

I suggest trying another ad blocking app that it is easier to get support on as well,
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] death1246:
Works flawlessly on my T-Mobile HTC M8 that was having issues with the other exploit. I was sceptical at first paying but knowing it's PayPal why not? And to my surprise it worked! :D

Got my converted m8 to play edition! Woot!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Traxx67:
Hello all i have one question. I am on insertCoin ROM, but when i launch sunShine, its nuit compatible. What must i do? Thank you for your help.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Do you tried to use the search button? -.- you need to be on a Rom which is nearly stock or on complete stock Rom with stock kernel!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Heroxgxdeal:
Anything I need to know before I purchase a license? Any bugs,certain things I need to make this go clean as possible or uninstall certain apps from my m8?

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------

Another question anybody can answer. Is this license reusable for my device if I pay with a card instead of Paypal account?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Xposed, ART and possibly adblock plus are not compatible, those need to be uninstalled/disabled before running, but can be used again afterwards.

You need to be a near stock rom

Verizon HTC One M8

OK so i can't unlock the bootloader because I have Verizon, so I tried weaksauce which doesn't work, so here i am with $25 in hand and towelroot doesn't want to work.. maybe i wasn't meant to have a rooted phone :(

sunshine tells me it can't find my SU binary, and SuperSU tells me it can't install binaries.. why is this my life
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Towelroot and weak sauce both work fine. There are modified towelroot instructions on theroot.ninja

Also, don't install supersu
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] snacksz23:
well they work less than fine for me unfortunately.. tried again with supersu uninstalled and no su binary found by sunshine which i dont know how to fix
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Come to irc. Better support there.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joni2012:
Great work,
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kentilo:
Doesn't work at M8 Dual Sim. TowelRoot doesn't work.

It is possible to make something?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] guidogsbn:
Happy!

Excellent job again, it was worth waiting for and worth any penny! I visited recovery mode for about 5 times today just to watch "s-off" again....;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] abrasive:
Does this work with 1.32.401.15? I haven't upgraded yet...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jauhien:
Works like a charm with .401.15 - have fun :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
It turns off once done. It does give you a message at the end, but it is not obvious enough as everyone misses it. I need to make it blink or something.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Should be no more than 5 minutes, even on the slowest model. did you get it worked out?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Basil3:
I was being sarcastic...it clearly says it will power off when it finishes. Thanks for your hard work!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Lol sorry, but for real peolpe panic over the power off. I need to make it more obvious
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jauhien:
But at that particular stage of the device S-OFF process, the user is being notified about the funds deduction from his/her CC -and this is why most of the users miss it.. :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flaheat88:
OK to be sure of what I'm paying for, exactly what does sunshine do? I know its S- off but what does it unlock? The boot loader? I'm sorry If its noobish but I've been away from android for quite sometime so trying to line up everything so I can start flashing. Thanks ahead of time!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
What device and firmware do you have?

For HTC Devices, the primary goal is to set s-off, however if the phone is rooted via some temp root it will unlock as well. We also have experimental sim unlock for some HTC GSM models (not m9), but this feature is not fully supported yet.

For Motorola it Unlocks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flaheat88:
I have the Verizon M8 running 4.4.4

I went ahead and downloaded to see if my phone was compatible and it is. I was linked to this thread from a buddy on google+. I should've read before asking questions because I didn't know you guys had a website with FAQ'S. It answered all of my questions as well. I didn't know exactly what the unlock portion was is why I asked here.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dratsablive:
Already had my phone unlocked and rooted. Purchased Sunshine to get S-OFF and it worked flawlessly.

AT&T HTC M9.

Many thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mspayde:
AT&T M9, Sunshine worked perfectly....S-Off, SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!

Thanks buys, I appreciate your efforts and time!!! Peace!

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Verizon m8 on 4.4.4 it will temproot, bootloader unlock and s-off. You will then need to install su
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] asacado:
Do I need to ruu back to stock, install twrp then flash root because sunshine is not working on any rom for the sprint m9
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Souldrinker:
I'm a bit curious about the sim unlock part. Can't find any info about that in the website and don't really know if I'm sim locked or not (bought my M8 from 3 Sweden and is now s-off and changed my cid to HTC__Y13 as my previous HTC phones). Is there a way to check that without another sim card? Or will all that be cleared up if I download the latest sunshine even though I'm already s-off?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
It is experimental, thats why we are not mentioning it much. No real easy way to tell.

If you are already s-off, no point in going s-on and running sunshine again, just use http://www.sieempi.eu/blog/2011/09/22/universal-sim-unlock-for-s-offed-htc-devices-536
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Sim-X:
I now have an S-OFF HTC M9. I have no problem supporting such work because I want this to always be available so when I upgrade next year I can do the same thing. The ease of use Sunshine provides shows it is a commercial grade software product. Nice job on the quick release! Worked perfect the first time
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jbfountain:
Went to use the Sieempi method, but I don't have a option for simlock like on my M8. Anyone know how to do it?

Sent using XDA Free Mobile App
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Ok I guess we will have to buy yet another m9 (sigh), as all the ones we have are sim unlockded at this point
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kiedlywiedis:
Hi, quick question.

I already have S-off and would like to keep it that way. However, what I need is to unlock my boot loader without using HTCDEV (it's not working, probably because of something stupid I did..). Can I use Sunshine to unlock my boot loader and keep my S-off status?

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Johnny424:
Thanks sunshine team first and foremost. I purchased the unlock for my m9 tonight and my experience was kind of interesting.

I use the stock att rom on my phone , only change i have done is root..

The app ran tests which went through fine.. proceeded to soff and kept getting an error which read an issue with the phone memory/or ram not being enough.. to reboot twice and uninstall sunshine and try again, if this did not work to contact development with an IP address..

So I did as instructed about four or five times and each with the same error... Before reaching out to sunshine team I decided to try a few things on my own so I backed up wiped data and went back to a fresh state and.. uninstalled a few stock resource intensive apps that come with the att model. And tried again.

Installed sunshine ran the test and soff portion and this time sunshine said there was nothing to do device is already soff ..

Rebooted to bootloader and sure enough it reads soff, and I never bothered to look all the times I was rebooting lol

Either way I'm soff and have no issue with the money I spend, only sharing this avoid any of my fellow att m9'ers who try and you run into this. Check hboot status before you go any further [emoji1]
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
So you are s-off, and locked, but cant go back unlocked via htc dev? What was done and how?

We are looking to address this in 3.1.1, thanks for letting us know.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] minyaen:
Thank you for creating such a wonderful and painless way to s-off and supporting so many devices. I purchased a key and it worked flawlessly today for the HTC M9. Great work!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kiedlywiedis:
Err.. Like I said, stupidity on my part.

Basically I converted it to GPE when I got it, and recently I experienced a defect and decided to convert back to stock and reset the flags as to hopefully not face any problems with my warranty being voided and such when I send it in for repare. I thought I had backed up my original version of Sense but either I didn't or I misplaced it, so I had to hunt down a TWRP recovery file of stock Sense for my device (M8) and use that instead. Once i was back in stock I removed the flags and unrooted not thinking I'd have any problems (this is where I screwed up of course) but it turns out that the token generation process doesn't quite work under these circumstances. I get "Error 140: token decryption fail." Also I think I may have forgotten to change the MID back to what it was originally. I don't know what's tripping it up but basically I need to find a way to make it work or find another method of unlocking the bootloader or else I'm locked into Sense 6 KitKat 4.4 2 forever.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] madskills843:
Anyone know if I go S-off will that affect the UhOh protection HTC offers? For that that matter if I change the CID like converting to a DEV edition...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kiedlywiedis:
Like I said I unrooted, which is why I'm in this mess. This method won't work without root and I can't find any way to root, even temporarily, without BL unlock or to unlock the BL without root and/or without HTCDEV.

I think I'll have to accept my fate on this one.. At least I'll have a working phone still :-/
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
You can pack a custom recovery into a zip, and "ruu" it from a sdcard. [MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION] would probably know where one can be had
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] graziano68:
Hello

I have an old ( but it still working very well! ) HTC desire HD rooted , running a Cynagenmod 12 nightly build ( Lollipop ) . My phone is S-ON .

Recently Cynagenmod released the interesting OTA to upgrade builds without losing app data, and I would use it but it requires S-OFF .

Now to have S-OFF I need to do a very very long task , which is in few words .... downgrade my phone , found the right RUU package, relock the bootloader HTCdev , use aahk2 ...

Can your sunshine work in any HTC desire HD rooted , running cynagenmod 12 (Lollipop) ? If no , can you support it in the future ?

I will be more than happy to pay you to gain S-OFF and to skip all the hard work explained above .

THANK YOU
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
It is highly unlikely sunshine could work, try rumrunner or moonshine

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Answer is, it depends. Our policy is very clear in the app and on our site, but submit a support ticket, add attention jcase and ill look at it. If you paid by paypal, incude a screenshot of the purchase please.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] stratos2004:
:) Awesome !! My HTC One M9 finally is s-off . :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sjpritch25:
No s-off for note 4 would be unlocking the bootloader. With Samsung Knox, I doubt it will ever be exploited.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chezbel:
Thanks for your excellent work, $25 is a very reasonable price for such a convenient tool.

I didn't notice if anyone else mentioned this but this worked fine on the M9 64GB version, which is probably only available in Taiwan.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] crucky:
jooo jcase just want you and anyone know that SunShine 3.1 still works with the new aboot from the 1.32.401.17 OTA :D i did it on a frankenstein M9.the aboot was from new .17 OTA and Rom was Viper 1.2.0 with the new .17 Kernel. was so stupid to flash the firmware.zip from the .17 OTA thanks worth the $$$$ :D so seems save to update.keeeeep up the goooood work :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] madskills843:
By going S-off does that also unlock the phone to be used on any network? Or would you still need a unlock code for that?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Thank you!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Short answer, maybe.

S-off alone does not do it, but we did add an experimental feature to sunshine 3.1 that should unlock some phones.

If you give me your model, carrier and Android version, I can tell you if it will, and how to unlock it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] darkenedpath:

No worries on deleting it lol, its the same link I used to give people, but if that works for the phone then sunshine should be able to unlock it automatically now

Worked a treat, thank you!

:good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sgtduckyboy:
I thought i clicked "reply" to the comment regarding how sunshine makes you purchase another license if your phone or circuit board is replaced after you purchased the tool for the "same" phone. If I would have known that, I would have thought twice before purchasing since I was in last six months with this phone. I would cringe at the idea of paying 3 times in 6 months. They should allow us to show them proof same phone was replaced or repaired.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
We tell you on the site, and in the app before you buy our policy on replacements. You agreed to this before buying.

Its always wise to read warnings and disclosures before continuing, don't just click through screens.

If you don't like our policies, we do nothing for force you to buy from us. You are welcome to explore other options.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sgtduckyboy:
Ah, the true power of free enterprise! Not knocking the product. but your business model is very different, as in completely different than 99% of most Android supportive apps/resources. And you know there is no 'other' choices for most of us. Thats all good, but when someone else does come out, you know they will be way, and i mean WAY under your costs and double to triple or more, of the ability to be flexible with working with users on reinstallations or re-use of the service.

i wish you the best of luck. my next phone will be either Samsung or a developer edition of HTC or some optional android phone. And yes, your policy is playing a part in my decision. I'd rather pay the people who do the real work up front(developer edition and optional Android phone) over paying you guys, taking advantage of people, in the most un-cool, way, in Android land. You guys should be over in Apple land , you'd be twice as richer and just as jacked up in the head.

Reason I didnt read, I'VE NEVER HAD TO USE MY SECOND GUESSING ABILITIES IN ANDROID DEVELOPMENT. especially with something like this. Dont play me as stupid, you played us as stupid, and took advantage of it since you knew it would happen.

I am not ashamed, just remember, once bitten,, twice shy.. try that s*&t again and see where it lands you. yes it works, but people will make decisions KNOWING this and may opt to try different phones or different editions, so they dont have to jack around with shady people like you guys! Know why i can say this? you cant revoke my license! and if i jack it up, made a decision to buy another phone anyway. So 'track' me all you want, not going to see me buy your product again until I see a change in your user agreements. Which wont happen until another group does what you do with a more 'android-spirited' approach and then I'll gladly give them $25 or more, since i know I'm good for the life of my device.

you think we need you? that's the funny part.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
You are demonstrating your refusal to read and research again, if you had you would know we are not the only option, many companies offer the same service, and have for longer than we have. They are more expensive, slower, not as safe, and typically use stolen technology. They also charge you for each go, not each device, but each time you s-off. Compared to the competitors, we are cheaper, safer, and more flexible on re-use.

We took advantage of no one, SunShine isn't a requirement, and we are not the only ones offering s-off. Yes I expect people to read warning shown to them, especially when they are modifying $700 phones. If a person is unwilling to read the directions, we don't want them as a customer, as we don't want to clean up their mess when they don't read someone else's directions and get in a bind.

No one has revoked your license, your rant is ill-informed, misguided and well just a rant of no value.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] LSpizzle:
I want to buy a license on my Verizon m9 even though I can't use it just to spite this guy. Have some respect. We don't want/need your hate at all.
