S-OFF on HTC M8 4.4.4

I just got S-OFF, thanks great app,

This is part of my get var, not sure if it applies to all 4.4.4 but it definitely works.

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.19.0.0000

(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.21.21331147A1.19_2G

(bootloader) version-cpld: None

(bootloader) version-microp: None

(bootloader) version-main: 3.28.1540.5

(bootloader) modelid: 0P6B12000

(bootloader) cidnum: BS_US001

thanks to jcase and beaups

Quick question if I decide to restore my phone to remove root with the RUU from HTC would I loose S-OFF, and sorry for the n00b question.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] samwathegreat:
No. The only way to S-ON is if you intentionally do it yourself. Stay S-OFF and all will be well.

I recommend not to install the Motorola 23.3.24 update since nobody knows what security enhancement it brings.... maybe sunshine will never be able to temproot/sOff Motorola 4.4.4 but every update increases the chance of being stuck forever and ever :/
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
3.0 will not bring enhancements for motorola
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] russellvone:
Will any later versions pick support back up for Motorola?

binary error

Is everyone else that had a m8 vzw 4.4.4 getting the same error of "su binary not found, root and than try again". Something to that affect??

Also, I'm not asking jcase but can anyone else who had been following this thread let me know if there had been any enlightenment on the status of support for the above mentioned variation of m8?? Not just for an eta but progress of any sort? I understand not wanting to be pressured into giving an exact date but how about some sort of update... For some of us this completely makes or breaks some big aspects of our existence.... Lol no but really it does mean to me the difference of about $600 being that I have to buy a new phone if it is going to be much longer, plus the fact that I need root to work and survive. And yes I did know better than to use a vzw anything for developing but I didn't pay for it. Thanks for any info anyone can provide.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] LegnaDegna:
damn hboot 3.19

hello, i am n00b user who went back to stock with his M8, including s-on to send the phone for repairing.

now i can't s.off anymore because of hboot 3.19. the big problem is that i need to try downgrading/upgrading the radio for some issues i'm having with my carrier :rolleyes:

do you have any approximate idea of how long it could take to provide a 3.0 version to f**k hboot 3.19? i would be really glad to pay to have a chance to fix the problem!

thanks in advance (and sorry for asking for ETA)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
reading back a few pages gives amazing results
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] LegnaDegna:

i was hoping for better news (like new version in two weeks because the devs are too good :fingers-crossed:)

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION], I have used SunShine for my M8 succesfully a couple of days ago.

Yesterday I received a Amazon FireTV (running android 4.2.2) which can not be rooted with towelroot. Would sunshine be able to do some magic to unlock the bootloader so that it would be possible to flash a custom recovery?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] papadelogan:
Thanks man. I try to read through, but when looking on my phone at 4AM after 3 hours of sleep, I miss things at times.

MOD EDIT: Inappropriate comment removed
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hakoda:
I've got a 4.4.0 Moto X (XT1060, VZW) rooted and WP disabled. I'm just wondering if the following steps are okay to take before I do them.

Purchase Sunshine and unlock.

Backup data and SBF forward to 4.4.4 using RSD Lite

Flash TWRP and SuperSU.

Maybe this question can't be answered yet, but when the 5.0 OTA rolls out so long as I revert my recovery to stock, I should be able to take it (or even SBF to it) without losing the unlock status right?

Thanks and sorry if this has been answered but it's a fairly long thread with multiple devices.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
that should be fine
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hakoda:
Sweet, sounds like I'll do that soon.

Was that a 'yes' to the 5.0 OTA question too or is that question not answerable until we actually get our hands on it?

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Sunshine is a true bootloader unlock. I've never seen an update relock a bootloader, but anything is possible.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] seadersn:
exchanged new o2 m8 4.4.3 device, s-off went without a hiccup :) temproot possible, sunshine did its job, s-off on the new device within three minutes: a big phat "i love you!", [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] & [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] :) (platonic xD)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ecsa0014:
I just wanted to say thanks for all the work you guys have done. I used Sunshine to unlock the bootloader on her 4.4.2 Moto G so that she could get the newer updates that Cricket seems to be refusing to push. She is much happier with her phone now as those updates resolved some very annoying bugs she had gotten tired of dealing with.

Personally, I am keeping hopes up that something will eventually work out for 4.4.4 Moto G owners to allow us to unlock. I have a Cricket Moto G LTE that I would love to unlock because I am severely doubtful I will ever see Cricket push any updates for it. Anyway, Thanks again!

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Krisbo:
So awesome!!!!!

I was tearing my hair out trying to get S-Off on my Australian Telstra HTC one M8 running Telstra's latest stock 4.4.3. I am glad to have paid $25 for an outstanding piece of firmware. This was the most painless S-Off endeavour I've come across and as you can see by my sig I've been installing custom firmware on for some time now.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigsky2:
Is it normal for Sunshine to disappear (uninstall) itself after a successful S-OFF run?

I followed the instructions, purchased a license, rebooted and checked my bootloader and do see that it is S-OFF (great!).

When I boot into system, I see that Sunshine is no longer in my apps drawer or list of apps under settings.

Should I re-install Sunshine or leave it as is?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Normal. It uninstalls itself when it's done.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigsky2:
Thank you.

I assume it is also safe to return the runtime to ART?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigsky2:
Thanks, beaups.

Great work!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ApexPredation:
Worth the cash.

Worked like a charm on my HTC One M8 with the latest 4.4.4 with the 3.28.401.9 update! Almost too easy.

At first I was like $25? Whaa? But then I thought I have received loads of free rooting tools and such made by the devs, not to mention all the support in the community, so why not support all the hard work. My hat's off to you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] YounousID:
You mean it's working on HTC one M8 running 4.4.4 now? I have a 4.4.4 Verizon one, and it didn't worked. Still waiting for Sunshine 3.0
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ApexPredation:
I have the unlocked European version. I believe its version M8_UL. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Verizon switched up things to lock it down even more.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] YounousID:
I feel like they're the villains, it would probably be my last Verizon phone. But thanks to this community, they are really giving us hope and sure are doing a great job [Thumbs up][Hat off] I felt like a kid who knows that his wish will be granted on Xmas LoL, can't wait for Sunshine 3
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ApexPredation:
I know what you mean. My last phone with Verizon was the DROID DNA. I'm so happy for the devs keeping that device alive and up to date.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
SunShine is tied to the phone it is bought on. If you buy a new phone, or get the mainboard replaced, then you need another license.

If you just reset it/repaired it, then you don't need a new license.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gleggie:
You need to wait for the sunshine 3.0 update
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
That is not necessarily true. Sunshine work on many 4.4.4 builds, but you will need to unlock via htcdev and root first.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gleggie:
Ok, thanks for the clarification!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Actually, depending on how you pay, we can't see. Credit card transactions we dont get any info on, we have no way of looking who paid what on those.

We do cut breaks, and offer discounts. Email me if you are looking for bulk purchase.

For single purchases, you knew or should have known before buying that our policy is 1 license = 1 device.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Well you didn't ask, you just made a bunch of statements, it was poorly worded. He wasn't rude, he just asked you to come to chat so he could get a better understanding of what your issue was.

We don't take donations for sunshine, it is a licensing fee like any other app purchase.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
As jcase already mentioned, we can not see any personal details when you pay with a credit or debit card, so there is no way for us to identify repeat customers if paying that way.

While I agree with you that you cannot "predict a hardware failure", I suspect you can cause a hardware failure if you're on your fourth device.

If you are going to burn through a device every month, then sunshine probably isn't the right product for you.

Out of curiosity, what is your definition of "plenty of money"? Has your employer stopped paying you stating you've made "plenty of money"? I think there are laws against that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Paypal and your bank probably can, we can not.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
I'm sure someone can, but neither of us can. Believe it or not, heck google it.

Either way, we are not the only option out there for s-off. Both javacards and easyjtag or other emmc read/write device will work for you. I suggest you look into those.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
What point did you prove exactly? You can't "transfer" sunshine because once sunshine has done it's thing, it's done. Sunshine is a service. Go get your car painted and go back a month later and ask to have it transfered to your new car. Or, better yet, go get a haircut and when they're done tell them you'd like your haircut transferred to someone else.

It's nice of you to come to defend these other humble people that have $300-$700 phones and can't afford Sunshine, though. Like what was said earlier, there are other alternatives out there. Javacard or jtag is probably a better solution for you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
No it wouldnt, infact all modern major devices seem to have jtag disabled, when referring to easyjtag im mainly speaking of the emmc feature of that device, not the jtag feature. Neither would help ya

If I get another device or after sending my unit to be repaired and the manufacturer changes it back to stock settings, isn't there an additional charge for each new device, and would I have to purchase Sunshine again for the repaired device?

Geez, why can't you discuss that on IRC, via private messages or other ways of communication that do not produce 30 posts per hour? It's a paid software which has its policy, license etc. Basically if you are paying for one product/code/license/whatever you should know that the company will charge you again for the next license. jcase and beaups don't have to and won't be listening to your pointless requests. You should be grateful that there is a way to unlock your device. Many folks on XDA can only dream to have their bootloaders unlocked. Also why there is such argument over these transactions. If developers said that they have no way to read the ID etc., they have no way to get that info. End of story.

Now kindly move on.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] noobiest:
I'm considering purchasing a moto x. The problem is most folks have updated to 4.4.4. The great thing about this app is even if it doesn't work on the phone that I buy, I won't get charged. I also understand there is no guarantee that it will work. If I bought 4 moto x's and all 4 were unlocked, that would be $100 well spent. I hope you guys make a whole bunch more money on this and everything else that you do. You deserve to get compensated. Thanks for your hard work.
