Can anyone confirm if their Hong Kong Version of the One M8 have been successful with Sunshine? I want to try using this, but I want to make sure someone has tried it

Just try it. If it will work it will tell you when it checks your device an if it will then you pay. You don't pay if it won't work...

Update link for TowelRoot3.apk

Hi Jcase. It appears the link for the tr3.apk download is not working. Working on getting a 4.4.2 Droid DNA rooted. Maybe I am trying to access the link wrong. Followed your instructions as well as tried a few other routes of downloading.

Thank you for your time and effort!

I just got a Verizon HTC One M7. It has 4.4.3 installed on it. Is there a way to root it so I can use this to unlock the bootloader?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Just run sunshine...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
The latest DNA firmware isnt supported at this time, support will come for it.

unisntall all root related apps, install sunshine, reboot, wait 3 minutes, runsunshine, it hsould gain root on it's own.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fireattack7:
It wasn't rooted before. Sunshine will root it as well?

It was not rooted before 4.4.3. Sunshine will root and unlock the bootloader on a never rooted M7?

It wont install su, but it will unlock and s-off, making it trivial to install su

I got the licenses and am running through the first reboot. Once I get it done, how do I install TWRP?

I ran through Sunshine and the phone restarted. When I went to install SU, it says "There is no SU binary installed and SU can't install it.

I'm doing a factory reset on the phone now. I will try it once it gets reset and let you know. Thanks for the help.

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

Ok, I tried the factory reset. When I got it back up and running, I installed Sunshine. It went through the steps and rebooted the phone at the "checking" step. When it came back up, I ran Sunshine again and it said I was already S-off. Root checker app tells me I don't have root and SU says the same thing.

Any help? Sorry for being a PITA.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
OK you are s off and unlocked. You can flash twrp via fastboot and then flash root or come to irc for some other methods.

Network error

I have two HTC One M7s on Verizon. One worked great with Sunshine; the other, not so much. It is running the latest stock ROM. I just did a factory reset to see if that was the problem and I still get the error after the Compatibility Test screen: Network Error - we encountered an unusual network error. Please ensure SunShine is up-to-date......etc.

Any guesses? I would love to get rid of $25. :)

4.4.4 incompatibility confirmation

Hi Jcase. Just to confirm, I got my vzw m8 yesterday, and within 5 min of leaving the store it updated to 4.4.4 (wishing I would've said no, or researched the rooting situation on the vzw m8 before I took the update). Anyway, for now I have tried downloading sunshine and I get to this screen okay:

But after that I get this error screen:

I've tried downloading towelroot according to the instructions on the first page of this thread (btw, I ended up finding the apk through adb toolkit .com as the method in the first page ends up at a page with a 404 error). But if just freezes and nothing happens.

Since I have taken the plunge, let me know what I can do to help you test.

Thanks for your hard work and for being so responsive, I am looking forward to giving you my money!

Hey man

I know this must be really annoying for you to keep answering the same questions, but I've tried going through to find my answer and can't so here goes. I just bought an HTC one m7 verizon 6.0 off of ebay. I have purchased and run Sunshine and it says it is now s-off. Would you be able to provide me with the steps to unlock this phone from verizon? Thank you so much, it's really appreciated.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] seadersn:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thatsonlyme:
Hi guys. I just received my second warranty replacement m7 (verizon), as my first replacement has freezing issues on custom roms. I used sunshine and it unlocked it without issues.

i tried using sunshine on my new device and it says it would work but before paying again i wanted to sit on it for a day or two just to make sure it's fine (can't keep throwing money on every replacement phone).

right after running sunshine test i let the phone go to standby and a few seconds later it restarted itself. I tried running sunshine again and it did the same.

any ideas? I'm worried it would do the same after i root it. I have no problem paying for this but i don't have money to waste on faulty devices.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
unisntall all root related apps, supersu, towelroot etc all of it,reboot

wait 5 minutes after boot, run sunshine
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thatsonlyme:
I don't have any root apps installed. Just got the phone today so it's all factory settings. I just wanted to see if sunshine would work, then if the phone works fine i'd pay for the license and unlock/root it.

i re-read sunshine disclaimer and it says that the phone might become unstable and restart during sunshine temp root. It's been fine ever since so i guess i'll just go ahead and unlock it later when i have some time.

thanks for help though
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
You shouldnt need to unlock it, if its unstalbe during temproot just reboot, wait 4 minutes try again. You only need it to work once with temp root

Hi, is there any ray of hope for us Indian m8 usrs running 4.4.3?

4.4.4 is also rolling out. Should we upgrade or wait? Will upgrading further lock down things for us.

Yeah, well I have exactly the same question! Should I upgrade to 4.4.4. on my HK M8 or sit with the 4.4.3 and wait till Sunshine actually adds support for our devices.

The newly introduced features in 4.4.4 are not that important for me, I'd rather stick with 4.4.3 than upgrade to 4.4.4 and wait another century. :D

Actually, no lets stop that. Your post was not made with all due respect. The moment you came to this thread, and knowingly went off topic, the respect left the window. With who you were, and your history, you know better than to do this.

The respect was also out the window when YOU broke confidentiality and leaked the existence of it. You have no place to complain when you behave the way YOU did.

The support for this decision to go pay has been overwhelmingly positive. We have had less trouble/rudeness with SunShine than with free releases, almost everyone has been great (real eye opener for us). No customer has had a bricked or damaged device from it. It is fast, it is easy. I do believe this will be the future, and I want to thank everyone who has been great. Especially those that have helped others.

Doing paid releases will allow us the ability to release more, and better quality releases. Money is available for us to pickup bugs from other researchers needed to complete our projects instead of devoting months more time to research to find an equal bug, money is available for us to pay for another programmer is we are too busy, or out of our zone. We can hire support people if needed, to run support, so we can do what we do well, instead of helping someone who doesn't know how to use adb. Overall this has been great in every aspect that the free releases were disheartening, and well not fun. When we get less complaints about a paid release, than a free one, you know something is going right.

Reasons why:

Bounties don't pay, they are often full of fake pledges and that is a well known fact. I collected about 30% of the last one. Solves that problem.

Scumbag thief's repack and resell work (http://www.gsmcocktail.com/ is mostly consisting of things beaups and I released for free). Solves that problem.

People believe they are entitled to our time, and are rude when they are told they are not. Well, now if they pay, they are entitled. Solves that problem.

Cost of test devices is too high. I'm not even an HTC fan, and I have purchased 4 HTC phones in last month. I've purchased for research over 30 phone since the start of this month. This field is expensive to play in.

Cost of needed software is too high, I spent 10x (no kidding) the cost of the car my son is getting, on the software used in developing WeakSauce. Not counting the three phones I ended up buying to further research the bug (since we can't just let anyone test anymore, because people seem to give away our work and not care about confidentiality).

More but I have no coffee cup at this hotel, and my head isnt working.

Maybe when a better solution to bounties is developed, we will return to collecting bounties.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] randp1:
Great tool, worked flawlessly, didn't mind paying a couple of bucks for this. The devs deserve it for all the work they put in to make our phones great ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
It isn't the same, not at all. You have hundreds of active rom devs, and you can count the number of people actively releasing roots on your left hand. Enitrely different, and much more difficult game to play in.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
I think Macbook Pros should be pay what you want too, but nope Apple charged $3350. Heck, the restaurant last night had the nerve to charge us $450! I wanted it free (ok seriously, for 20 people, that was not bad at all, and it was family and good times!). I would also like someone to come help me build a garage for free, and by help I mean do it all themselves and bring the material. I'm not trying to be rude here, but make a point in a humorous way.

Roms can't be paid, almost functional roms, even ones built form AOSP, include software that is licensed in a way that would make that tactic illegal. Even distribution is likely illegal. Roms are not original works, SunShine is.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] The Great Dane:
First of all I acknowledge your reason for doing what you have done.

That said don't you come tell me what I did or not did. I didn't broke any confidentiality that was already broken by Beaups when he called me a liar when I stated I still was s-on.

So take it easy and concentrate on the work here and I will remain silent[emoji12]
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pulser_g2:
Bounty threads are nothing to do with XDA or the forum mods. I've had this discussion with many of the security researchers who release for the bounties, and we all pretty much agree there's little that can be done. Bounty threads are nothing to do with XDA, and we don't get involved in them. If people want to offer up money within the vague framework that exists, that's fine.

At the end of the day, unless people are required to pay their money up-front, where it's held by someone until a release is made, or alternatively returned to the payers after a given amount of time, you can't enforce a bounty. Doing it escrowed won't work either, as everyone will want to place different conditions on their bounty and so on, and so forth. It's just not practical to collect them in advance, so people are simply saying they will pay, then being held to their word.

It is perhaps worth taking a look at the stats for a recent bounty on the Droid Maxx/Mini/Ultra root bounty - jcase has told me that he received under or around 30% of the promised bounty (despite sending each person who joined the bounty a PM directly). When a bounty is at $2575, that's not a lot of money, when you consider getting a hold of several phones, and putting the time into something that then doesn't even begin to look at paying for your overheads. I don't know about you, but if I was offered $2500 to do something, and only received $600, I'd be looking at legal action if it was a conventional transaction where you bought consumables to carry out the work, and put time into it.

The impression I get from what I see is that the days of bounties are over, as people don't honour their pledges. A shame, as this community is entirely built upon honesty and integrity.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Onem8:
that's true and i really appreciate your work for getting my phone s-off.

What I'm really saying.. I loved the free community here on XDA and for every ROM and software i used, even firewater. I paid a donation for the developers. But those bounty threads where people "says" there going to pay there pledge and they don't when there is a release, i hate that. Because there are people out there that save money for months 4 getting a phone like a M8 and then if somebody want s-off or someting else they must pay " " dollar. ( I would pay 25 dollar for s-off ) But somepeople don't have te money for some extra's and thats where the donate come in handy. If i'm poor maybe i donate 5 dollar but if i'm rich i can donate 30 dollar and that's why i love xda.

And i can understand why you ask 25 dollar. For all the work and research for this great phone. Not many people can do what you can, respect.

But truly if you collect the full bounty, would you ask 25 dollar ?

That's why i don't like the bounty threads, you can't trust people.

Sorry for my bad english..
