Hi,

I am having a unique problem with my M8. I have started the thread http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/htc-m8-encrypted-message-locked-boot-t3335383

The phone is never rooted, now it's giving me the weird encryption message. I cannot get in to usb debugging or developer options etc.

Will this tool sunshine be helpful to me ?

Sorry for this stupid question , i am not that tech savy , just trying to learn these jargon as i look for options to fix the phone issue. Thanks

I have few questions.

1. If i S-OFF the HTC device, does it void the varranty? i had heard that S-OFF doesn't void the varranty but unlocking bootloader does. i'm not sure

2. Can i S-ON again after S-OFF?

3. Is it possible to change software status to official?

4. Is there any tool for PC that can flash a firmware to the device like Samsung and Sony (if you know)?

I can't live without root because apps that requires root are important. I choosed the device carefully. I always root my device right after i bought my device. My friend does it too ;)

I have done doing tricks that brings my varranty back, send my device to repair and done. They didn't refuse to repair, ask me for money or something.

I have an HTC One M7 Verizon with Android 5.0.2. Will Sunshine work with this phone and enable me to use another recovery then cyanogenmod? I'm happy to pay the $25 but a little confused if this will work with my phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
1: technically any rooting of a phone, unless warranty states otherwise, probably voids it.

2: yes but no reason to go s-on, we recommend staying s-on

3: yes, look on xda for a guide

4: yes, fastboot can

I have a completely stock Verizon HTC One M8 still running Lollipop. I have not installed either of the Marshmallow OTAs yet and I have a (probably stupid) question.

I read the SunShine website and it sounded like my phone will still be supported after I completely update to Marshmallow. This is still the case, correct? I just wanted to make sure that when I update I wouldn't be removing my chance to unlock/s-off. Thanks for any help.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
You MUST use SunShine BEFORE updating to Marshmallow at this point, after SunShine you can then update. If you update to MM now you will be left without the ability to use sunshine until we update it for VZW M8 MM.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 4Incredible:
Great. Thanks for the clarification. I'm getting tired of the daily update notifications and I almost updated yesterday but wasn't completely convinced it was a good idea. I guess my phone is getting the SunShine treatment sooner than later. Thanks for the quick reply.

Got S-OFF on my One Max today :) worked fine, though I was a little confused at first since there was no immediate confirmation to say it worked.

Thanks Sunshine devs :)

Is there any version of sunshine that can unlock the droid turbo bootloader in kitkat? or Its a must to flash the 5.1 SU4TL-44 release?

I bought one of these phones and Im afraid it will come with 4.4 preinstalled.

thanks for your work

Is there a reason suinstaller just shows a white framed page?

I installed supersu 5.95 but there is no binary.

The only other supersu I can find is either an older version or a .zip file.

VZW M9

EDIT:

OK I found a post regarding "Flash TWRP then SuperSU"

Now to hunt for the download and method of install.

Edit 2:

Successfully completed my quest.

Best $25.00 ever invested in a long time.

Thank you very very much sunshine team.

Awsome

I must say I have unlock a about 9 HTC one m8 phones and an HTC one m9we. I gotta say this is worth the $ 25 Its the easiest way to unlock a boot loader. I just wish this team would make an Iphone boot rom unlock so people could downgrade and unlock iphones that would be sick :)

Well something similar to sunshine for IOS would be a persisting bootrom exploit, which would be easily 7 figure exploit. That would be enough for me to start my own bbq joint, I dont think anyone would see me again lol.

I've been following this for awhile and now I think I want to unlock and root my Droid Turbo... I've rooted about every other one I've had, and I would love to be able to get rid of some of the bloatware, update ROMs, etc.

But before I do use and buy Sunshine, I have a few of questions that I hope someone can answer:

1. Once Sunshine does it's thing, the phone still isn't in root mode, right? I have to install TWRP and then SuperSU, correct? Then at that time is is fully unlocked and rooted?

2. Which TWRP would I need for the Turbo? Is there a 'special' one I need to install?

3. I use the Verizon Advanced Calling features - HD Voice and Video Calling. Once the bootloader is unlocked and phone rooted, will those functions continue to work? Will anything else be affected if I stay on the stock ROM?

4. Finally, I assume that doing this (i.e using Sunshine and then rooting) I am going to break Android Pay? At least that is what I have read. Probably the reason I have waited so long to try Sunshine, I use and like Android Pay. If it does break it, does anyone know if it can be fixed? I'm going to guess not, but worth a try...

Thanks in advance!

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
1) SunShine unlocks the bootloader on the droid turbo, on that phone that is all it does. After wards root it like any unlocked phone

2) One for the Quark/Turbo, look in the Turbo forum here on XDA

3) I can't say for sure, but I dont know of a reason why they would not work.

4) No clue on Android Pay, probably wont break it until you modify system, but im not sure. Reflashing stock, or using a work around should fix it if it did break.

slight problem

Hi all. I've tried to use Sunshine 3.3 on my VZW M9, but I'm having a slight problem. Sunshine passes the test on my device, but when it comes to the screen saying it wants to attempt temproot, there is no button to click to proceed further. It's just an empty space. I've tried reinstalling the app, changing my font size, removing the screen color overlay I had on. I tried clicking all over the screen where a secret button might be! Nope.

Any ideas? I'm attaching a screenshot.

Damn...no, I didn't see that Marshmallow is required. I have 5.0.2, but it's also a big problem -- I don't live in the US and so, as far as I know, I can't update the system without a Verizon sim card. HTC sync won't work (of course) so I can't even try to update the firmware that way.

What a nightmare. I think I'm gonna have to wait until when (or if) Sunshine is released for VZW M9 Lollipop.

Thanks for the help, beaups. I got s-off!

But...

...and now I leave the subject of Sunshine, and thus this thread, since Sunshine did its job...but just in case someone can help. :crying:

After Lollipop there's a requirement to enable "OEM unlocking" from dev options to unlock the bootloader. Problem is, of course Verizon FTW, have ****ing disabled the option. Does anyone know how to get around this? (I just want to state that I didn't intentionally buy a Verizon phone -- Amazon sent me an unlocked OEM phone without mentioning it was carrier branded. Just stating that for the record).

Any solution short of a xtc2 clip?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Paul.ryan:
I have that same switch on my Verizon Droid Turbo & is not a bootloader unlock switch but something else. It is part of a security feature that prevents someone from resetting your phone from recovery and then activating it on their own account. When that switch is on you must first login on the original account before the phone will go past the activation screen even after a complete factory reset. I know because I bought a new phone for my wife and took her old one and could not activate it for my account until she logged into the phone and turn that switch to unlock.

Unable to temp root

Any suggestions how to get sunshine to work on VZ M8 with Marshmallow? I have tried endlessly and every time it tries to gain temp-root and reboots and the process starts over. I have also tried KingRoot to gain temp-root so I can use sunshine.

Do I need to downgrade to 5.x? Some other trick I am not aware of?

Thanks,

Jake

Help

It was used normally and the owner of the device was ignoring the updates for a long time and then finally he updated to almost the latest firmware and after that he then updated to the latest 6.0 firmware and he was saying he thinks the battery died while updating to that firmware cause it just turned off. I know when you get it to actually turn on it shows Hboot 3.19 but radio and dsp are both N/A. I think id be able to flash it if it was S-off but I cant get it to boot up to get it S-off. If I plug it in I get nothing on the screen and it connects as QLOADHS_BALK, if I then hold power it will disconnect and reconnect the same way about 1 to 4 times then it will all of a sudden light up with the charging battery screen then go to fastboot like I stated above. If I type "Fastboot oem rebootRUU" it shows errors in the DOS screen an then goes back to QDL bricked again and if I use a memory card to flash the firmware.zip it parses the rom and lets me hit volume update to flash but when I do I get PU-Fail on everything but one partition, it then says "Unable to update partition information" I press power to reboot and then back to "Hardbricked" again. Is there any known way to get it back since there still is "Fastboot"?

Hy [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] any news about s-off for the 10? ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PillowMetal:
No, Sunshine is a one way trip. However, there is a simple fastboot command to get back S-ON (that I will not type here to avoid people trying it), but you have to make sure your phone is COMPLETELY stock BEFORE you do it (best method is to run an RUU). That's hboot, boot, recovery, system, and other partitions - if you don't you will immediately brick your phone. Personally, I would recommend never going back S-ON even for warranty repairs; some HTC devices ship already S-OFF so it wouldn't raise any eyebrows. If you really insist, you can easily hide S-OFF with an hboot hex edit (or use the bootloader customizer from regaw).

For those who can't get sunshine working because they do not have root access please be aware that they are 2 versions of Towelroot V3 available.

The one who is currently available on the official website (tr.apk) doesn't give us temp root even if the app thinks it has worked.

There is another and older V3 of Towelroot named tr3.apk who does give us temp root access and allow us to use SunShine. This version is no longer available on Geohot's website, i'll attach the original apk to my message.

Current version V3 - named tr.apk - MD5 : e287e785d0e3e043fb0cfbfe69309d8e

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Travisimo:
It's my understanding that unlocking the bootloader and even s-off does not necessarily void your warranty. Doesn't it all depend on what your warranty issue is? For example, if it's obvious that the repair needed is for something unrelated to hacking the phone, I would think HTC would still honor the warranty (if a button physically stopped working, for example). Whereas if the cause of the defect is ambiguous or clearly the result of tampering, (bricking the phone, for example), then the warranty would be void. I have not personally had to use warranty service, but this has always been my understanding.

I Don't think so

HTC can't block your imei or blacklist it just because u used HTC dev

Because U can use HTC dev and get ur unlocktoken but not using it actually to unlock ur device

Also for me, my device is bricked 7 times and all of them was unlocked by HTC dev and they didn't block my imei althogh I got new imei every time with new device

And I got replacement all the times under warranty for free
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KennyG123:
If you are bricking your device you should not be claiming warranty... That is fraud unless you told the tech exactly what you did each time and they fixed it anyway. This is what insurance is for, not warranty. Please do not discuss brick repair under warranty on this site.
