Perfect!

Worked like a charm. After trying pretty much everything on my whelp m7, this thing got it done on the first try! Flashed ARHD 3x, worked perfectly on that. You guys definitely deserve the $25 for bringing this device back to life. GPE, here I come! :)))

Worked great on my straight out of the box Sprint HTC m8. Thank you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cheka92:
Tnx, my HTC ONE M7 is now s-off <3
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Crossvxm:
I assume by modern devices it doesn't include the HTC One S? Ive been trying to S-Off it for 2 weeks already with moonshine, other S-Off tools and all other possibilities (Windows, Ubuntu, etc) with no success. Came across Sunshine just now (3am, New York time) Sunshine claims my One S uses ART, but ART wasn't introduced until 4.4 and above, my One S is on 4.1.1. Is there any info on support for this device? I dont mind paying the $25, heck, saves me a ton of extra electricity wasted staying up all night looking for solutions, saves my skin from wrinkling due to sleep deprivation, and also saves me more than what any other person I may find on Craigslist will ever charge.

I'm about to just sell the thing...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Download again and try
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Crossvxm:
No longer asks for ART to be switched to dalvik, but I'm confused and sorry if I bother/ask noobish questions (I'm a noob to most HTC devices), but do I need root first, as in custom recovery, then flash SuperSU?

Towelroot works on the One S (doesnt reboot due to security like the M7) but obviously doesnt install the root binaries. So I'm assuming I must first root by flashing SU thru a custom recovery in order to reattempt and see if it gets somewhere. Currently, it just reboots my device, but I'm guessing thats because the lack of proper root access...

EDIT: Never mind. Deemed not working at all. Just reboots the device regardless of root or not. I guess this will add to the 5th installment of my "No S-Off" faliure...

I can't buy license for sunshine,my MasterCard is declined I don't know why,btw I use it to buy stuffs from Amazon USA and ali express and use it on Google play also ,any advice plz?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wase4711:
just got the firmware update, so its time to get this phone ready for fun!

do you need to have Dalivik runtime active instead of ART to run sunshine?

and, on a stock, non rooted phone, do you just install supersu from the play store to get permanent root after sunshine does its thing?

thanks so much:good:

Can I use SunShine to get my htc m7 with hboot 1.57 s-off?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Yes
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jaykay1984:
once I bought the app I can go to s-off and s-on as many times as I want? I have not read yet that the app allows you to go back to s-on
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gustav30:
I can confirm Sunshine works fine on latest 2.22.531.xx 4.4.3 built that came out this morning. I took the OTA via S-ON; then installed Sunshine. Followed instructions and am now S-Off.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rkingsparx81:
Will my phone data be erased after using this app
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rkingsparx81:
Wow was hoping I didn't need to do a backup that's great thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Souldrinker:
Yes, I suppose so, but I don't understand why you would ever want to go back to s-on once you're s-off? The app itself won't get you back to s-on, but a simple fastboot command will. And then you should be able to use the app to s-off again.

But as I said I see no reason to go back to s-on and a lot of reasons not to...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jaykay1984:
I forgot that i can return to s-on via fastboot. then using the same code that I bought with the application can i go back to s-off at any time? the possibility of putting in s-on is only in the event of having to send the phone completely stock in assistance
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
The license server will recognize your device should you need to use sunshine again. That said, its never recommended to go s-on and there are no guarantees sunshine will continue to work with future updates, etc.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ZEDEK:
Peace All,

I think I'm about to take the plunge-->but extremely nervous about updating my firmware while on an old version of Maximus HD. I wish flashing firmware was as easy as it was on the HTC EVO LTE, but I've guess things have changed. So here was the steps I was going to follow-->please (anybody) correct me if I'm wrong.

1) i'm on a TMO (US) m8--currently on Viper 1.80. i was going to make a backup of that, then flash the older version of Maximus HD.

2) then I was going to download the firmware from here: http://www.renovate-themes.de/index.php?s=firmware (but I believe this is the International version, which is the same, but would prefer TMO's specific firmware-->if anyone can point me to it)

3) follow the instructions of: (I assume these are adb prompts?)

a. fastboot oem rebootRUU

b. fastboot flash zip filename.zip TWICE

c. Check if all "Successful"

d. fastboot reboot-bootloader

4) once firmware is flashed, restore my backup of venom 1.80 then update to the most current version of Viper

Will this work?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thafrogggg:
Anyone know if Sunshine will work on the Verizon HTC One Max with the VZW Sense 6 OTA 3.09.605.2 and Hboot 2.49.000?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Should, try it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thafrogggg:
Ok, I have downloaded Sunshine and run/paid for it. I am looking at my bootloader and I have the following:

***UNLOCKED***

T6WL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH

CID-VZW_001

HBOOT-2.49.0000

Note: I do not have "Tampered" showing above Unlocked.

I tried installing SuperSU, but I received the following error:

"There is no SU binary installes, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!

If you upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device."

Have I done something wrong?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wase4711:
did you reboot the phone after sunshine did its thing?

where are you getting your supersu from?

do you have a custom recovery on the phone?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thafrogggg:
I ran Sunshine just as in the how to video on the sunshine website. It did the preliminary checks, asked me to pay for it, checked everything again, then sunshine did its stuff and shut the phone down. I rebooted, ran sunshine again and it said everything was completed.

I got supersu from google play

I do not have a custom recovery on the phone yet. I was completely stock before running sunshine. I had been using weaksauce to temproot and had Supersu installed as per the weaksauce instructions, but I started getting that particular SuperSU error even while using weaksauce, that was why I finally decided to look into perma rooting and S Off. I did uninstall weaksauce, Supersu and then do an ADB reboot of the phone before trying to use Sunshine.

When I installed the newest VZW OTA yesterday, I think it re-selected fastboot for me, would that cause problems with Sunshine?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Sunshine does not root the device, only unlock and soff . install recovery and flash supersu from there
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wase4711:
I haven't run sunshine yet, having just got this phone a few days ago, and I don't want to root it until I am certain its ok..14 day rule, ya know!

Anyways, it sounds like Sunshine worked properly; The reason I asked about custom recovery, is that there is a supersu .zip file, version 2.0.2 that supposedly helps with your issue, and, of course, you need a custom recovery to flash it.

If your ADB is working ok, then get either twrp or Philz CWM installed, then flash this supersu zip file and see if that helps.

EDIT: the OP beat me to this!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thafrogggg:
Ok, so I am guessing TWRP is the go to recovery now. I will go read up on getting that installed and looking for the flashable SuperSU file.

Now to go searching.. :fingers-crossed:

BTW, thanks for posting about sunshine here Jcase.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wase4711:
I posted the flashable Supersu file in my post..

most of us prefer twrp, and have over the last several devices..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thafrogggg:
wase thanks for posting the link.

I have installed TWRP and flashed SuperSU, and now have root.

I am looking at the bootloader now, and I still have the UNLOCKED flag, but still no TAMPERED flag however, I did try setting up the fingerprint scanner, and it repeatedly fails. I am not that concerned about the scanner itself, but the OCD part of me wants to make sure it at least works.

Should I go ahead and to the steps in the remove your tampered banner post and then retest my scanner?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wase4711:
what fingerprint scanner?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thafrogggg:
The HTC One Max has a fingerprint scanner just below the camera (on the back of the phone).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wase4711:
oh yeah, I had one of those!

I thought you were working on an M8..

/sorry for being so O/T here, I will stop :rolleyes:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thafrogggg:
It's cool. Everything else on the phone is working, and I don't use the scanner, it is like I said, that OCD part of me :silly:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Need to return the bootloader to true locked status to get scanner working, although you can keep s off.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wase4711:
yep, now I remember, the fp scanner wont work unless you lock the maxx bootloader
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thafrogggg:
Yeah, if I relock it, the scanner should work again, but if I read correctly in some of the threads about unlocking the bootloader, that also means I cannot use fastboot commands nor make any permanent changes to /system folder on the phone while it is locked. I might just leave it as is for now in case I need to do any of that later on.

Anyways, I seem to have everything operating normally, so thanks everyone for all the help.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Magnum_Enforcer:
Making changes to the system partition has more to do with being S-on than simply unlocking the bootloader. S-off will alleviate that issue. Also, you can run fastboot commands regardless of whether the bootloader is locked or unlocked.

Did somebody check this ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2852368
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] akpe:
Just tested the apk on my M7 (already unlocked through HTCdev, 1.57 hboot, with stock kernel and latest ARHD (for now)) and it took me to the payment screen. So it works!

My question is this. I'm thinking of sending my device to service. Haven't decided yet. If I do send it, should I wait for it to come back before buying and running Sunshine? If, for any reason, my device comes back with a different mainboard or IMEI (flame away, never understood those things) then I guess my purchase/code will no longer work if I buy it and run it prior to the service, is that correct?

Much appreciated!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] o-o:
Could somebody tell me what this command is and a dumbed-down description of how to achieve s-on?

I bought the M8, bought Sunshine, but now need to return the phone due to poor signal.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mutasek24:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] o-o:
Awesome, thanks!

Apparently I need to relock the bootloader which requires using adb? I've never used adb before, but I have it installed now and will be trying it tomorrow.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] urbigdaddyy:
I appreciate your work, but after i will use sunshine (it probably work fine) i can easily brick my phone, because i have to install a custom recovery and a rom, and god knows what :D

So me and my friends can pay more money if you make a program for a "full" rooting process. (for example one click method jailbreaking on iphone.)

Is it possible or no?

I only want root access, (like weaksauce, but it's a permanent root for verizon?) but i read weaksauce not working on t-mobile variant..

Anyway thanks the hard work.

network error

Im getting a network error when trying to run sunshine s-off. Im from the philippines and my m8 CID is HTC__622 firmware 1.54.708.5. tried using my mobile network and also tried wifi. still getting the same error.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dougau:
I would think that if your sending your device in for service chances are slim to none that you will get your original device back Most places that offer this kind of service usually have a bunch of refurbished replacements on hand and will send one that is on hand back in return so it won't be the same phone with the same mainborad.

But i have to get my cell back for warranty therefore i need to get back to s on .

will sunshine s off my cell again directly without paying? or do i need to pay again ?

If you have the same phone no you won't. But chances are with a warranty you will get a different phone back so then you will have to pay

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wase4711:
maybe the card is expired, or over drawn on the PayPal account..99% of people are reporting no issues when doing this
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Tigerstown:
Neither one of those r not even possible If that was the case why would I even try..an u seen the post above me couldn't pay...seems odd..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Sounds like you should be talking to PayPal or your bank.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Tigerstown:
Ok I'll tell him he can't use this as the gas station we just left don't have a problem with his card but sunshine does so no point in talking to his bank. Guess it sucks to be him lol
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
I haven't come across any gas stations that use PayPal as their credit card processor, perhaps you found one.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Tigerstown:
Lmao. Me either. As it was meant to read the gas station had no problem with his card as sunshine wouldn't take this card or PayPal. Of course he didn't use PayPal at the gas station

Anyways thanks for responses as there is nothing wrong with sunshine its all on him to fig out why he can't pay you. If he gets it to allow him to pay ever I'll let you know.

What is a rom/kernel combination that works with sunshine? I have my paypal account ready but I have no stock nandriod and have no idea how to go back to stock with s-on. Also does anyone know any completely stock roms for ATT m8? I am currently running ARHD 9.1 and have tried it on insertcoin.

quite outstanding software from what it looks to be the best of the best and obivous devs of it to :)

even if i am rooted s-off etc i thought about go buy when getting my pay to support this also so i have it

prolly get use for it later. its a small amount to pay so defo fair price imo. saving countness of hours and time.

OT, forgive me :s you can delete this below if " >inaprote >"typo

im sure rom/kernel devs from which i use their rom(s)/kernel(s) also looks this topic, you can expect an amount from me to

just so no one gets upset if thought some ( not looking for replys for the OT, was just mentioned)

What link I should follow to see you guys on IRC? cuz I've also problem with payment. I've tried my Card but It was rejected then I asked my cousin card that was also rejected(my guess is Paypal don't accept Cards from Pakistan cuz paypal don't let us register ) I also have registered an account on paypal and my friend sent me $35 in that I recieved there but when I went to payment page it was also not accepted. ( there was no CC or bank account linked to that paypal account and I just used random USA address to make that account but that didn't let me pay you either.) I've been trying for four days and then someone on XDA points me if I get whelp message my only hope is sunshine but I'm stuck now at the payment. I want to pay it but I think I'm one of those unluck who been cursed to get everything at very cost(of frustration)..

as posted multiple times in this thread, you can use it all you want on the same phone, but not on a different phone.

plus, if you send your phone in to be repaired for some reason, the chance of you actually getting your same phone back is very very slim, as you will most likely be sent a refurb, different phone back..
