I cant tell the future, my advice is to get s-off before updating, and not go back s-on unless you absolutely must, and remember if you do you might not get s-off back.

Root

Not sure if this helps but you could try towel root? or if that fails then try VROOT the apk though dont use the installer for the pc ..... '' https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=r1b ''' that worked on everything from my htc one to a huawei g535-l11 EE kestrel even when root wasnt supported for some reason it uses its own type of SU and everything but doesnt work like the tradtional root methods yet it still 100% effective :)

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Tampering with low level stuff, when warned not to, isn't too bright. Your mate will probably end up bricked if he keeps trying to tamper with sunshine. You can also tell him 00000000 isnt a valid license code, and that codes are not valid except immediately after I activate them.

Thanks for working on it though. More importantly, thanks for letting us know that you are. Prior to the release of Sunshine I was researching of any root methods for the MAXX and everything I read led me to believe you were bowing out of the bounty. You devs are so enigmatic!

Hi buddy

Why is sunshine not working on HTC one m8 4.4.3 rooted and twrp recovery???
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] @@RON:
OK, I'll consider about it. But just to play safe: If I'm on stock rom and s-off my phone (and flash no custom recovery), am I still able to install regular ota updates?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Uzephi:
S-off and unlock doesn't affect ota. If you flash a custom recovery, hboot, or mess with stock stuff (apps, write protected stuff) you may have issues taking an ota.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
What is the error?

long as you dont modify the firmware to the point the OTA wont install, it will be fine. s-off wont stop OTAs
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gsmyth:
Hi guys, just wanted to check if Sunshine is/will be working on the 4.4.4 update on the HTC One M8? I'm currently stock unrooted 4.4.3 and in two minds as to whether I will update via the OTA when it reaches me. I'm guessing it will take some further work for Sunshine to work with 4.4.4 as there is a new firmware base and bootloader and so don't want to rule myself out of having the option of full s-off if I take the OTA.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Tigerstown:
Why not s-off now an you never have to worry about it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gsmyth:
Well that would be the best way to go, just need to try and scrape some funds together for my paypal account. :o
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Tigerstown:
I understand that for sure just hold off on the ota till you can. Cause you never know what happens after ota it could be months or only hours before s-off is available again..myself I never ever would take a ota(less you want a system dump off the new ota say for development reason)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gsmyth:
Yep, thats what I was thinking, not in any rush to update, but its always a temptation when its available. :cyclops:

As you say you never know what has been implemented in a new update which locks certain things down. I've been there with the S4 when they first introduced Knox, luckily I stayed put on the old bootloader and never voided the knox warranty. I would still be on the 4.4.2 firmware on the M8 and just could have used firewater, if it hadn't have been randomly rebooting on me. I only received the M8 at the start of last month and was trying to fix the reboot issues but hadn't looked at root/s-off yet so applied the updates available. Don't have any issue paying for Sunshine, as its a safe way method created by people who know what they're doing. :good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] AshVash90:
When I open up the sunshine app everything goes well, but when I go to pay for it via PayPal the screen goes black and the app force closes. Any ideas why this is happening?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Never seen that issue before. Custom rom? What device? Support is easier and quicker in IRC if you care to stop by.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] AshVash90:
HTC One M8, running stock rooted 2.22.401.5 firmware, Android 4.4.3. It looks like i can pay via code so i think i'll have to send an email to request one instead unless this issue can be resolved.

As i'm getting my m8 in a couple of days and read this:

Will Sunshine S-OFF work with the HTC M8 with 4.4.4 OTA? Do you know already?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fede_arg:
Hate to be someone who asks what may have already ben asked, but I swear I read all 125 pages in this thread (and several others) and I'm still not sure.

I have a sim unlocked ATT Moto X on 4.4.0, not rooted. I'd like to have root and I don't plan to load a custom rom now but want to be able to do so in the future should I feel the need.

Please tell me if my plan is right/feasible or I misunderstood something:

1) Unlock bootloader with Sunshine now (while on 4.4.0)

2) Not root

3) Take all the OTAs until I'm in 4.4.4

4) Flash TWRP and install SuperSU to get root

5) Have lots of fun (!?)

6) ... (distant future)... flash CM

Thank you very much!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
You got it down right, just follow your plans.

Safest route would be to do sunshine before updating to 4.4.4, if you are already on 4.4.4 you can try it, it wont charge you if it wont work.

Can you use google wallet or bitcoin?

email jcase@cunninglogic.com and I will resolve this, the crash is caused by paypal.

email jcase@cunninglogic.com and I will resolve this, the crash is caused by paypal.

Safest route would be to do sunshine before updating to 4.4.4, as we wont know until we get the specific 4.4.4 update you will be taking. It is safe to use sunshine now, and not root until later on.

hi jcase,

Is sunshine working on google play edition 4.4.4 htc one m8s? if not, can you please work on it, i will not only pay the 25 but also donate much more.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Did you try it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GHE_1908:
Yes

Yes, I tried. It simply force closes. I was wondering whether this was because it is imcompatible, or because it is a bug.

Firewater also comes up with remember the golden rule? NEVER take an OTA? etc.

Beaups, not to badger you or anything, but is firewater still in developement, and are you guys still looking for exploits?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Firewater gets updated frequently. I just pushed a build last week. But that exploit is what it is, and its generally patched. New exploit = new application...e.g. Sunshine.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GHE_1908:
Ahh I see, well I'll keep my fingers crossed that you guys will release a new tool that will work with my m8 when the next flagship comes out, if you could confirm that sunshine works, could you please let me know?

Cheers, and thanks for your work we all appreciate

George
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
At what point does it force close? It shouldn't.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GHE_1908:
The moment i open and click continue it force closes. Do you know if its actually compatible with google play edition?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GHE_1908:
SORRY

once again, i have to eat my words. I was on a custom rom at the time of trying, when it said it was incompatible, I then flashed back to stock gpe rom, it is working fine. Jcase, thanks SO much for your work, ignore those who complain about the $25 and i hope you continue developing for us. I will soon pay the $25 to s-off, then when i can, donate around $50, sorry if it will be a while, but i am only 14 and i have only just started working.

Just paid the $25 very enthusiastically :), worked like a charm, thanks jcase you saved my life
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] OfficialLocdoGg:
I know that the dev can do what they wish but I'm not going to pay $25 to s-off a device that im trying to switch from T-Mobile to AT&T when I'm giving it to someone else. I find it funny how S-Off has always been donations until now. I don't support greed. Just my opinion. Have fun with this guys...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] samwathegreat:
If you don't want to pay, don't pay. Please don't insult our hard-working devs. Do you have any idea the countless number of hours put into this work?

What do you do for a living? I suppose you don't get paid, right? Cause otherwise, we could all call your employer and let them know that we also don't support greed.....cause who deserves to get paid for an honest days work?

Hint: I don't work for free. Something tells me that you don't either.

Curious: What does switching from T-Mobile to AT&T, or giving away your device have to do with greed, donations, or the price of tea in China?!?! I don't get it...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] OfficialLocdoGg:
See like I said "I know the devs can do what they wish" and you're right, they are hard working. I'm not saying anything except that this is a little greedy. I hope someone else finds a new s-off for the M7 soon. I need it and unfortunately I should have said that I cannot pay for it at the time (bad times financially) but I don't think I would if I could. I dont expect anyone to agree because you're all on here grinding it out but I used to donate to revolutionary and all others that have helped me but for something that's been free then someone finds a way around this road block we're in and boom... A lot of people are stuck. I almost couldn't restore my phone for the past week because I couldn't s-off... Anyway, I guess I'm just frustrated because I've been trying to s-Off this phone for 2 weeks and can't. It's as good as a brick now...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Then don't pay, but dont be a #$@% and accuse us of being greedy. S-OFF hasn't always been donation, there have been many many many pay products to do it. XTC Clip, Javacard, numerious products that were repackaging of our exploits and others. We put months of hard work, and years of research into this product. We missed time with our families, I even spent my family vacation time locked in my hotel room working on it for the few short hours I wasn't off at BlackHat or Defcon. We bought numerous phones, just to get this working. Its nice that you donate, but most people don't, and it wouldnt come near covering the costs of the phones bought to make this work, let alone everything else.

I'm sure you spend tons out of your pocket, devote months of time to give free work to others, including those that will resell it, for free. I could use a new fence if you ever feel generous, I even have the tools , but I need you to provide the lumber.

PS I can't count the number of free exploits beaups and I have provided this community, 20 toes and fingers are just not enough. How many have you provided?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Hernadis:
Hello everybody. Sorry if this has been gone over before before but I'm having an issue with rooting my device. This is on a verizon HTC M7 running 4.4.3. I installed sunshine and ran it without a problem, paid, and restarted through sunshine. When I enter the stock recovery menu it says that i am unlocked and S-off. When I run a root checker it says i am not rooted. Super SU says no binaries installed and TWRP won't open because it says root access is needed. Did I miss something? Do I need to root through a different method?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dougau:
Yup, you missed something, install TWRP via fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img) then you can root with su.zip
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Souldrinker:
As mentioned many times before sunshine unlocks the bootloader and s-off the phone, but doesn't root it. To root it just flash twrp and it should give you the option to root it.

Not sure how you try to install twrp which requires root access. Just installing it the normal way through fastboot shouldn't require root.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Hernadis:
Thank you guys for helping out. I was trying to install TWRP through the playstore app which gave me the error. This is what threw me about gaining root. From the sunshine website "SunShine no longer needs TowelRoot, WeakSauce or for the device to be HTCDev unlocked. SunShine will gain root on it's own, and unlock/s-off your device. It will not install su, you will still need to install su and recovery yourself if you wish to do so,"
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
I think what you quoted and bolded is pretty clear. Sunshine elevates itself to root in order to do its business. Permanent root afterwards is up to the user, but it's trivial on an s-off/unlocked device.
