I'm on Verizon 5.0.1 and I was able to use the method describe in this thread to achieve s-off and unlock. I did get stuck at the Verizon logo for 45 minutes after the first Sunshine. Hold power and volume up rebooted the phone and I got in and finish the second part of Sunshine.

One thing to note, KingRoot seem to only give me a few minutes of root. I followed all the instructions as fast as I could and I was able to achieve S-Off and unlock. A big thank you for the people who came up with these.

Ok it worked I stopped freaking out lol who knew it would be in the op at the very top in bold black and red letters ....can I now flash the provided twrp recovery thru stock recovery or must I use fastboot ? No computer handy ...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ahowe125:
If your rooted, use flashify to flash TWRP. That's what I did. It took some work to get kingroot to work in order for sunshine to work but it did. I had a warranty replacement with 5.0.1 and was worried I couldn't S-off but this new method worked. I'm now S-off, unlocked, rooted with TWRP and Fluent ROM v7.5. It's amazing you guys found a way to make it work.

I had one hiccup in sunshine during its magic when the device I lost root, but a few more taps on kingroot and I was good to finish the process.

I'm not having much luck on VZW M8 5.0.1...

After 3 factory resets and 2 RUU's, Kingroot is still not having success. I don't know if I'm witnessing abnormal behavior, but when running root it shoots to 51% and then slowly counts to around 70% before giving me a failed message. I've attempted KingRoot about 10 times and have seen it reboot the phone twice, one time to a black screen that I had to force reboot. When the phone boots back up those couple times I see KingUser installed, but a failed message in KingRoot and a failed rootcheck.

I'm basically running KingRoot over and over again hoping for something to change, but I'm losing hope. Any advice to get past this crucial step? I've triple checked the settings as far as location, usb debugging, mock locations, and have tried to follow the directions to a tee without any progress. :(

*update*

I got a successful root message after 3 more tries, but root checker times out when trying to get root access and sunshine says there's no root. Going into KingRoot told me that rooting was a success, but after a phone reboot it's asked me to run root again. It rebooted my phone twice and now the KingUser app is gone, but I still have purify. Also KingRoot is now stuck on a white screen, will factory reset, RUU, and try again :D.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Drunkula:
You shouldn't have to RUU, from what I've seen. Also install the SuperSu from the post pointed out by jcase in the 1st post in the thread. I think part of the problem with kinguser is it doesn't seem to want to prompt to allow root, even if it has it. That's why I used supersu, instead of kinguser.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nsideguy:
*Final Update*

SUCCESS!! FYI for you future VZW M8 5.0 rooters out there: The newer version of KingRoot (4.5.0.722) has a much higher success rate and doesn't require SuperSU to be installed after the root is successful. If I had been using that from the beginning I would have saved a ton of time! Furthermore RUU is not necessary, but it may be a good idea for the first try out. Successive tries can just factory reset.

Anyways after approximately 5 hours of work I'm now unlocked, s-offed, and $25 poorer. Definitely the most patience testing root of my life, but hopefully the most rewarding! I haven't been on stock android since Droid 1 :victory:

just read up and found this useful thread. got a replacement vzw 5.0.x m8 and will be going through the steps provided when i get home .... do I need to activate my phone first before trying to gain s-off ...or can I gain s-off/unlock status first then activate later?

also, do we need the microSD card ... or can we just place the files on internal memory and install from there?

I didn't use an SD for sunshine on my ATT branded m8. I wouldn't think you would need it for king root either.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] -4ndr01d-:
i successfully got s-off and unlocked after 30 minutes.

the only trouble i had was kingroot telling me .. 'unable to get root, try the pc version, blah blah blah' which i never did ... just cleared the data and reran kingroot until i gained root. all went well afterwards

EDIT: does it matter is says 'software status: modified" and not official? ..im sure it said this before i achieved s-ff (refurb phone)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] c5satellite2:
Sunshine and kingroot success on ATT M8 5.0.2. Ran KR 3 times, no root, cleared KR app data as suggested, 4th attempt got root, ran sunshine, got KR root access prompt, sunshine rebooted the device, waited for sunshine to reopen, reran KR, got root again first try, switched back to sunshine and hit next, and then got s-off/unlocked.

One note, the phone did not shut down when finished getting s-off but sunshine stated it would. Just dumped me back to the app drawer. Sunshine was uninstalled at this point, so I rebooted manually. No worries, just a heads up for others.

Thanks again.

If they send you the same device back from warranty, then your licence is still good and you can still use Sunshine without paying again. If they change your device for a new one, then you will have to pay again.

Does Sunshine work on MX14 running the 5.1 bootloader? I don't see that info anywhere. Sorry if this has already been answered but I did search.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Yes as long as you have some form of working root.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JulesJam:
Thanks, since MoFo doesn't work on the 5.1 bootloader that means you need Kingroot. Does Kingroot work on the MX14 running a 5.1 bootloader?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Roots are typically not bootloader dependent, although mofo is an exception to that.

Thata said, I'm not sure if kingroot supports the latest 5.1 builds for moto or not. I'd guess probably not.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JulesJam:
So is kingroot dependent on the version of Android you are running then?

Their XDA threads and their official site are hard to understand and navigate. I see where they say they support the Chinese MX14 (XT1085) on 5.1. I am not sure how Kingroot works but if it supports the XT1085 on 5.1 shouldn't it support any MX14 running 5.1? Or is it something that you just have to try to know for sure?

The reason I am asking is because I have to decide what to do with my shattered MX14. I have insurance on it but the insurance replacement will likely be on 5.1 and I don't want to pay the deductible if I can't root/unlock.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Exploits vary by device. Root exploits 99% of time target kernel or some system app, and are independent of the bootloader version. Easiest way to find out if kingroot will work is to run it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JulesJam:
I don't want to upgrade to the 5.1 bootloader b/c I can still use this shattered device to tether if I need to as long as it stays on 5.0 bootloader.

I will flash a 5.1 stock image to it and see if Kingroot will root it and then report back here. Idk when I will get the chance to do it but if it can root the 5.1 stock image when you have a 5.0 bootloader, then from what you have written it should be safe to say that it will root a MX14 running 5.1 bootloader and 5.1 stock image.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Waiting4MyAndroid:
Thank you Sunshine team for this incredible tool. I have an HTC one M7 GPE (5.1) that has been in limbo for a while. Could not unlock the bootloader due to this error:

Because of that, I could not root or do anything else for that matter. Until yesterday! I tried the latest release of KingRoot, and achieved root on the second try! Almost CRIED! Then I ran Sunshine and passed all the checks....and it said phone was compatible! Paid the $25 (Worth every penny) and now my phone is unlocked and S-off. Could not be happier!

a) why did you relock the bootloader

you have to install su to have root, flash twrp, install supersu, have root
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] c5satellite2:
You can use kingroot to get temp root and then unlock boot loader via shell.

Or you can flash a compatible root zip via fastboot ruu mode.

Basically you can unlock boot loader via shell if you have s-off and root.

Htc One M8 Verizon No MicroSD

Hey guys,

So as it states, I have an Htc One M8 Verizon model 5.0.1 that I haven't done anything to yet. I was just about to attempt to perform the current method of root and S-off by going through all the king root and that thousand step method when I realized my MicroSD card is back in storage (temporarily working in Korea) in our Roku3 and I was wondering everyone's opinion about trying to do it without a MicroSD card. I did a bit of research and it sounds possible but the only posts I could find were no newer than 2013 and I wanted to know if anyone had any ideas about going through Kingroot and sunshine and trying to put custom ROM on without having access to a MicroSD? Any thoughts or advice is much appreciated.

Thanks,
