Are you s-off? Did you relock the device for some reason? Come to support in the IRC link in the OP, we can help you quicker there.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] antdog24:
Nope, s-off and it says *** Unlocked *** I can't find a link to the IRC channel, what is it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
perhaps you're doing the command wrong, it should be:

fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img

irc is:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ruddyvar:
For that I need s-off. Correct me if I'm wrong, because the reason for wanting the s-off is to install the stock room sense. I dont have a ruu for my phone neither the nandroid to return to stock.

Gracias

Find a stock based rom, like MaximusHD, and use it
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Souldrinker:
Sorry, I'm getting confused since it doesn't seem like you really know what kind of phone you have. Previously you've talked about One X and now you talk about M7 and sometimes even One X M7. Maybe you should have a look in the bootloader and see what model it says it is. The model should be on the first green line in the boot loader on the format: "<phone model> PVT SHIP <S-OFF or S-ON>"

From your description it seems like it could be one of several phones:

- International One X (model: ENDEAVORU). In that case you have the tegra3 and you're pretty much screwed as far as s-off goes, but you could still dev-unlock it at the htc web site and then install custom recoveries/roms. And yes, an official developer unlock using the HTC web site will wipe the phone.

- American One X aka One XL (model: EVITA). Is using a snapdragon SoC and should be supported by Sunshine.

- One M7 (no X in the name) (model: M7?). Should also work on Sunshine at least if you're on that old Android version.

Also if it's an old One X with the original battery and you only have to charge it once a day and use the phone you could probably consider yourself quite lucky. My 2,5 year old One X have quite some problems getting through a whole day and even if it was better when it was new it's nowhere near what the M8 can do battery wise.

But anyway since it doesn't really sound like you know what you're doing, you probably want to read up a bit before you s-off your phone so you don't go flashing firmwares for the wrong model or so. But once you know that you really want s-off and know what it means you could always try this app and see if it's compatible. If it works it will let you pay and s-off/unlock your phone, else it will tell you why and won't let you pay.

Both WeakSauce and SunShine should start up again.

If SunShine doesnt start up, start it.

So, good news is, this weaksauce update got me root access with my HTC One Remix (verizon version of htc one mini/mini2), but sunshine is still failing. Would the upcoming 3.0 update possibly work if the new weaksauce is granting me root privileges? The software is android 4.4.2.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] RuLEoF2:
I'm on 4.4.4 with Verizon's M8. I tried it last night and it worked!!! I am so stoked! Thank you so much! That $25 is well worth it.

I got unlocked and s-off right away but my computer is KIA so I couldn't flash anything at first. I still had temp root with weaksause but it was unstable and there's some kind of bug that interferes with any of the su apps from updating. So, without a recovery, I was stuck with it until my new desktop arrived.

That is until another member (dottat) tipped me on a market app called flashify that can flash recoveries without adb. With flashify, I was able to install twrp recovery which in turn allowed me to install and update supersu. Now I'm solid.

Be advised though, twrp 2.8.1.0 couldn't complete backups of the system partition. Some other people had the same problem so I downgraded to 2.8.0.3 and that works fine.

My only question right now is, will I be able to upgrade to lollipop? If so, how would it work and would I need to use sunshine 3.0 when I do?

Thanks again to jcase and beaups for these awsome products.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] anddiiss:
The one question I have been asking myself for quite some time is - why can't SunShine simply work across all the carriers and versions of Android around the world just like that? Isn't the idea simple? You guys find a hole which hasn't been patched and use it to S-Off every single M8 out there. Or perhaps HTC uses different methods based on the region to prevent you guys from gaining s-off with an exploit? Seeing that even Verizon users on 4.4.4 can now potentially unlock their devices with SunShine but those with 4.4.3 Hong Kong are still waiting for 3.0, like me, makes me really curious.

Some retailer in Latvia from who I ended up buying my One M8 accidentally sold me one meant for Asia markets even despite the fact that I live in Europe. At first I was quite happy about that, you know, different clock speed for cpu, High Performance mode, everything seemed nice till I figured out that basically we're the only ones that can't S-off their devices, haha. :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Sunshine did work across all m8 variants and carriers at release. HTC software gets updated differently and at different speeds, which is why we have this situation where it works on most, but not all, right now. We should be able to again address all m8 versions with the next major release.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dasco68:
I used Sunshine ages ago to s-off my three devices a M7 and two M8's. One of the M8's has developed a section of unresponsive screen so has to be sent back to HTC for repair. Now what state do I send it back. It is not rooted at present but bootloader is unlocked and it's s-off. Do I send back as it is our relock bootloader and leave s-off or return it s-on and lock bootloader.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] centorance:
Just to share my experience, I was having an issue with my HTC E8's microphone 2 weeks after s-off. Bootloader was unlock with HTCDev. I send it for rma at HTC service centre in Singapore with my bootloader relock and phone s-on. Did not have any issue with the rma process. Unlock and s-off again after getting the phone back went smoothly too. Just remember to back up ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dasco68:
The Sunshine s-off process has not caused the screen problem. I'm thinking of locking bootloader but leaving it s-off.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] seadersn:
i did the most secure way and set it back s-on, risking not to be able to s-off again, i did this two times. then i got a replacement phone, fortunately s-off was possible with it due to "old" 2.22 software installed ;)

Hello [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] , [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION]

Please answer me

if i change my CID for example HTC__001 (Which refere to WWE regions ) ,Is it mean that i will receive the WWE OTA updates ??
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
You need matching firmware, CID and probably MID to get OTAs
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tareqak13:
OK..

If i have the same MID & CID and the firmware like: x.xx.401.x

..am i right ??

Hi, I have a sprint htc one max, I need to be soff and after a lot of research I ended go to the sunshine way.

The problem is no matter what rom, stock, near to stock, custom, aosp, cm I flash, sunshine says is not compatible.

Dev, please suggest one rom you know sunshine work with so I can do the test and buy the license.

Thanks in advance
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] anddiiss:
If I were you, I wouldn't bother taking the risk of grabbing OTA's with you CID altered. You can pretty much end up with a processor "do not boot" mode (not one of the nicest things to see) which is a hard brick and can only be fixed by jtag. :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tareqak13:
Ooh

What should i do ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] anddiiss:
It's strongly advised to shy away from OTA's after rooting your phone, use your custom recovery instead to flash your roms of choice or firmware you intend to you.

What I mentioned before was meant for those with super CID's and then taking OTA's, but I suppose the same rules apply for any other CID as well, dunno, really, better not to push your luck too far.

[MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] wondering if sunshine will be able to unlock ATT moto x 2nd generation on 4.4.4 bootloader? If not it would be helpful to know so I can sell a few of my m7, m8, lg g2, and my att moto x 1st generation which are all in mint condition. Just trying to prepare as my ATT moto x 2nd generation is my favorite phone to date out of the 5 I own. P.S. if sunshine will unlock the bootloader of the moto x I will donate either htc, lg g2, or the 1st generation moto x which is already unlocked using sunshine. Thanks. If interested shoot me a pm and I will send your choice of phone before I get my 2nd generation moto x unlocked. Thanks for all the hard work over the years and this is the least I feel I can do

I had returned my M8 to s-on for repair. Just got it back but it's on latest firmware so can't s-off at moment. However I was wondering if there is a way to do a license check to see if HTC didn't replace my board during repair? Serial and IMEI are the same, but I know you guys determine license by device. I think it's the same, but anyway for me to do a license check? (i paid for sunshine back in August).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Only way to check is if sunshine works on the device
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Souldrinker:
Well if it indeed is an international one x there are plenty of roms around. The one you link to is quite close to the stock, but pre-rooted. I'm using the ViperX rom on mine (still 4.2.2, but with more features and customizations). There are also non-sense KitKat-roms around and probably soon lollipop.

So if you've unlocked it through htc dev, just find a recovery that fits the rom you choose (most work either for jellybean or kitkat but not both except for a special build of twrp) and flash it through fastboot and then flash the rom from the recovery.

To get to fastboot do as you suggested. Turn off the phone and start it while holding volume down to get to the bootloader and from there to fastboot. While you're in the bootloader check the first green line as I suggested earlier to make sure what phone you have since you still don't sound really sure.

If it says endeavouru it's the international one x (tegra3) and you won't be able to use this app (but probably don't need to anyway if all you want is to flash a rom).

For more details about how to install usb drivers, Android sdk (or another way to get the fastboot binaries to your computer) etc., search and read so you know what you're getting into.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] xda-dru:
Thankyou :)

thankyou for your help bro..

also found a small but interesting fact the 4.2.2 JB inside the HTC settings menu, getting USB debugging to showup in the menu now takes a small trick (hitting 'more' button on 'kernel' button in system infos) , wich helped greatly as my USB debugging menu was just gone...i hit the about on kernel in the info page,and whala.. 'you are now a developer' it said.

I had previously used an app called WinDroid to try unlock the bootloader etc.. it is/was a one-touch app wich ended up doing nothing for me but showing up with a X (cross) showing up across the top of my phone until i hard booted it.. but i was actually upto the section where you copy/paste to htcdev. This was months ago though so basically, i dont even know if that worked and then failed, but i believe now the only command needed is fastboot,wich would mean it would not require that anymore, instead i have a 'fastboot' on/off in power.. tbh i dont even know where to have that set,or if it is needed to be set,i just know to get s-off, i will be fighting uphill battle, it is a Vodafone , it is htc one x, it is 4.2.2,and updated to the last firmware wich it came with.. i can see a way to get a rom on there, (and yes viper rom was already the rom i was looking at), but i cannot see a way to get it unlocked without getting root/s-off,and getting Sunshine to look at it.. im sure the exploit code would run on a 2011 kernel,moreover, it should be not a problem,i believe the only problem here is the actual model of htc one x, i still wonder if it is one of those famous tegra3 or the vodafone model that tools dont like..

Only reason i question the phone,is because when i ran windroid,having the bootloader unlocked,then error on me, is kinda like a protection of something kicking in, but i could be wrong, it could have been the actual app or it could have been the phone..i HOPE it was totally the app 'windroid'.

Thankyou and i have been writing down any feedback i can use,wich is alot..so appreciate the help, and look forward to joining the rooted-ranks ;)

Sorry if this has been answered, I did a search that didn't answer my question. I have a replacement phone on the way (Verizon M8), long story short, nothing is wrong with my current one. I was just curious if the phone has to be activated on my line in order for SunShine to work? If I can skip that process, it will tell me whether to keep the replacement or my original without having to go through the hassle of swapping phones with Verizon.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Per the site, and app, yes. One license is good for one device.

Reason behind this? You effectively sold your license to another user when you sold your phone, a license exists that is tied to that phone that someone else can now benefit from.
