Bootloader falsley reports im s-on and locked

I'm not sure what I flashed to cause this issue. I used sunshine months back and acquired s-off and unlocked bootloader. Now when I go to bootloader, it says locked and s-on. I ran sunshine again and it told me I was already s-off, and there was nothing to do. How do I get things back to saying s-off and unlocked?? Is there a tool to flash and toggle?? I was going to use my unlock key from HTC dev, but I don't want to wipe all my data. What is the best solution?? This is a cross post from q&a, I was advised to repost here.

If they gave you a new phone you have to pay for Sunshine again. If you have a phone that you purchased Sunshine for that has been repaired, but the motherboard was not replaced then you don't have to purchase Sunshine again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DarkRazorZ:
I have an HTL23 and I was able to gain temproot with Kingroot. I am on 2.14.970.2 and it worked. Took a lot of trial and error though. Sunshine worked fine without issue once I gained root.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] darkenedpath:
I guess I can't help it. I bought sunshine again "4th time lol", and am satisfied one more time. I do hope the winos stick around for a while. Just got a question. I may try it anyway, but the m9, and sim unlocking. If I use the reffered sight always used, could I apply it by sd card and be OK? Like the firmware? Only ask cause I know you guys are very technical at this. Again, I'll probably try it anyways. Thanks.

Hi [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION]

First YES i know I´m stupid...

I´ve played around with things I don´t know nothing about.

So I´m in S-DBG mode (writesecureflag 2) please dont ask why I´ve done this.

I´ve tried to revert with secureflag 0 but permission denied...sunshine says allready s-off

I also can´t flash any firmware in this mode allways permission denied..

Ist there anything I can do to get back to normal s-off?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
I'm not sure what your asking, if you asking if you can re-enable the fingerprint sensor, if you are s-off you can reset the tamper flag, which I believe will re-enable the fingerprint sensor

You can visit our site, go to support and submit a ticket. Include all the information you have on your device, and what you did. We will respond.

Custom Recovery?

Hey I used sunshine on my HTC one Remix and it worked perfectly. After that I used the built in root tool, which also worked perfectly. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does the built in root tool also install a custom recovery, or should I do that myself? I was about to do it using clockworkmod but I wasn't sure how to check if it was already done.

Sunshine doesn't work on motorola phones running 4.4.4 or higher.

MoFo may work for the XT1060 eventually if I can make a pre-rooted image. Still working on it. But MoFo doesn't disable write protection.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] codyray324:
That's what I was afraid of. Essentially what I'm trying to do is root the windows m8. and then install 5.0.1.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jahrule:
I don't understand what MoFo has to do with unlocking the bootloader. I am already perm rooted on 4.4.4 and anyone else can root their 4.4.4 moto x for att and vwz. We don't yet have system write protection disabled. Looking to unlock my xt1060. I read that sunshine works on some phones. Any other ideas?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JulesJam:
What can you do with your root with write protection disabled?

With MoFo, you can flash unsigned system images so if you have the linux skills, you can create your own custom system images (ROMs) and flash them using MoFo, which AFAIK is one of the main reasons that people want to unlock their bootloader. The only thing you can't do that many people want to do is flash custom kernels and recoveries or make nandroid backups. But again, with MoFo you need to know how to make the custom ROMS using linux or rely on others who do know how.

Are you able to modify the system with your root? With MoFo you can modify the system before you flash it and once flashed, it sticks through reboot. We have images with Xposed, AdAway, Busy Box, SQLite, etc.

Can't be done unless you have a Dev Ed or some unlock code seller appears on the scene again. With MoFo at least you can flash custom system images as long as they are in the right format.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jahrule:
Yes. With this method we have xposed already. We don't have unsigned system images though. If you need help with something let me know. I solely run linux for the past 6+ years.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JulesJam:
Well you didn't read enough b/c it doesn't work on any Motorola phones running 4.4.4 or higher.

does Xposed survive a reboot?

Great - I will start a thread on the MX13 forum (I may have already started one, I can't remember, lol!) and then you can help me. Once I get the rooted XT1060 image made, then maiko1 will open mofo up for the XT1060 and you can go from there. There are threads on the Droid Turbo and MX14 forums with the images in them and you can see the issues that arose - one was the HDR camera bug. Xposed is different on Lollipop but still doable.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pawbrotm:
Oh. You really should include this info on your website. I got Sunshine from there, reading only stuff there (forgot to check if there is anything here), installed, started the tests and as you wrote my M9 with ARHD ROM shut down itself (not even rebooted, completely turned off). This produced an unexpected outcome. After I started the phone again Sunshine app disappeared, so I reinstalled it. After I started it it said I'm S-OFF. I rebooted to bootloader to check and it also said I'm S-OFF. Looks like it S-OFF'ed my phone for free by crashing in the right point (not that I'm happy about this, I guess I'm lucky that only this happened). Better check this out.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Appreciate you letting us know, it's a known issue with M9s.

Unrelated to ARHD, it's actually HTC duplicating the hardware Id we are using to generate licenses. Only happens on m9 so far. This means someone with the same hw id already pirchased a license before you ran sunshine. We have not seen this on m7 or m8.

We have to readjust our licensing code to fix it, until we do so, a small number of users (maybr 1 in 100 or more devices) will get free s-off I guess. I will fix thus tonight when I get home, been putting it off as it's not common, and no one had made it public until now.

The crash happens as sunshine uninstalls itself, and shuts down the device.

Hi!

I want to report a weird thing that happened to my M9.

It was unlocked S-ON, I downloaded Sunshine apk and installed it, it ran the tests, then during the 2nd test (long one) the phone shutted down.

I rebooted it and sunshine app disappeared!

I re-installed it and run it and it said ''your device is already s-off, Sunshine has nothing to do ...'' :eek:

Restarted into bootloader and it's saying Modified,tempered and S-OFF

Rebooted into download mode and it's saying S-OFF

I am not understanding what exactly happened but I am happy :laugh:

Could it be a bug of the app? And no my M9 is not dev edition and it was not S-OFF

Oh I see I am not the only one!

What do you mean by the same hardware id? Someone had my M9 before??

I have a question that isn't about Sunshine but rather about bootloaders and I have searched but can't find much info on this and I was hoping you could spare a minute to answer.

On these Motorola factory devices that have Fastboot Flash Mode (NS) (rather than (S)) - what does the NS mean - not secure? And what does it allow you to do - flash an unsigned bootloader?

What device are you talking about?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] npjohnson:
Old post, hate to quote it, but thought I'd point it out non-the less. By using KingRoot to gain temproot on a VZW M7 on stock LP 5.0.2 (HBOOT 1.61 I think?) Sunshine works just fine, you just have to gain temp root, run SS and pay, then after reboot, regain temproot before you reopen SS. I put up a post about it in the general section for the VZW M7, and pointed it out to beaups in IRC. SOFF and Tampered flag unaffected. Thank you so very much. You've re-breathed life into this device for me. (:

Wondering if the same idea might apply to the M8. Is it just lack of root/temproot that is holding M8 5.0.x SOFF off? Or is it something at HBOOT level? If it's just lack of root, give KingRoot a shot (it took me like 30~ attempts with KingRoot to get tenp root to work on the M7, and I could only get KingRoot to work if location is on high accuracy, not sure why though). If the underlying reason for lack of M8 support for 5.0.x is because its patched, or because of something new in HBOOT, I apologize for bothering you..

Thanks again for your work JCase and Beaups.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DarkRazorZ:
I want to say that they need a new root method for the 5.0.X versions. VZW M9 is in the same boat due to the whole 64 bit CPU thing I think. It's mostly just a waiting game for root to come along.

Will achieving "S-OFF" make bricking my device easier?

I'm also not a big fan that the license can only be used on a single device. No student discount :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] berndblb:
Much easier!

Ever thought about how many $600 phones they brick before something as foolproof as Sunshine is ready?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
In what kind of situations my phone will be bricked? Can I avoid that by only using ROMs designed for my phone and is S-OFF basically the same state than every other rooted Android model?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gumbyx84:
You can brick your phone by screwing (deleting,editing) with system files without knowing what you are doing. You ALWAYS use ROMs made for your device. Different devices have different file system setups and each ROM is made to over-write that particular setup.

S-Off allows you to bypass all security on the phone and have full access to the system. For all intent purposes S-Off is like having full administrator access on a computer, allowing you to create, delete, and edit ANY files on the system. This is very powerful but VERY dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.

Mind you, because having S-Off give you full access to all the files on the device you can fix some problems that you normally couldn't such as soft and (some) hard bricks. Someone with more knowledge of S-Off can get deeper into it, but I think that sums everything up.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jshamlet:
S-off means the phone will not stop you from doing anything. There are no signing or verification checks, and no part of the on-board storage is off limits. If you wanted to replace your bootloader with a Shakespearean poem, you could (I wouldn't advise it). Essentially, all of the safeties have been disabled. You are your own master.

If you know what you are doing, you can fix anything, mod anything, do anything you want. Feel like changing your CID/MID? Go for it. Want to switch your radio firmware? Not a problem. Want to manage your bootloader lock state on your terms? Yep. Don't feel like dealing with /system protection on the default kernel? This is your ticket.

On the other hand, getting S-off is a bit like buying a fully loaded 44 Magnum hand gun without a safety catch. If you don't know what you are doing, you can blow your foot clean off before you even realize you have pulled the trigger. If you decide to S-off, make sure you either know what you are doing, or follow the tutorial exactly when you modify something.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Behold_this:
That used to be true but it's no longer COMPLETELY true on the m9. For example there are still partitions that are somewhat protected with s-off. P8 is one example on the M9. On the m9 that partition holds the tampered / official software status flag and now you can flash a modified version of your own whole partition through fastboot but you can no longer issue adb commands to change it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gumbyx84:
Anyone have an copy of the partition without the flash tripped?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Behold_this:
I certainly apologize if I've caused any confusion. I simply wanted to illustrate that s off on the m9 is different from s off on any previous HTC device that's all. It is still worthwhile IMO, & it still gives you control over your device. Just a little differently. There are some protections in place now. That's all I meant to say.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
I have HTC One M7 GSM. Is it true that for example AdAway can't properly add entries to hosts file when S-ON? This is a huge issue for me and almost worth paying 25$ alone.
