I dont understand your question, please submit a support a ticket at http://support.theroot.ninja in your native language as well as english is possible.

JC

I see your title now. SunShine is a bootloader unlock/s-off tool, per the site, description, and this thread.

No mention of network unlock being a current nor past feature.

I'm tired of the harassment of the VirginMobile Desire users regarding network unlock. This has never been a feature of SunShine, yes we have been working hard at it, however I have now canceled plans to support HTC Desire 816 network unlock, and all Virgin Mobile network unlocks due to the ridiculous amount of harassment.

I understand one or more users is asking other people to do this. This feature WILL NEVER COME due to the PMs, posts, emails and other harassing messages.

I've invested so many hours into this feature at the request of very very few users, it is ridiculous that I can't be allowed to finish it, no matter how many times I ask for patience.

Maybe one day people will learn harassing me over a device or feature just leads to me not releasing for it. Go ask the ZTE ZMax and Sony z3s guys how that tactic worked out.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slogar25:
I actually don't get the point trying to be made. He asked once and was answered. Stop there dude
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
I've been asked probably 100+ times by a small group of people, they know I've been working on it, very hard, but they still want to push me. They probably don't realize pushing me is the quickest way for me not to release something ever.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elcientifico:
Thanks, for you fast response.I understand perfect you business method. Sorry again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Off Topic Ironicness

The very feature I have been harassed to release before it was finished non stop for the last few weeks (Sprint/Virgin Mobile Sim unlock), just entirely broken networking in the test phone I was using. Like forever broke. Like "this phone is entirely useless" broke.

RIP Virgin Mobile Desire, you lived a short life.

w00t w00t autoprime helped me fix it.

That was ridiculousness.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] izzledizzle:
So random that Virgin Mobile desire people want the unlock. What do they all need it so badly for?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jwhood:
Damn that blows thanks whoever's been bugging I really could of used that feature for sim unlock on my a5,dam I'm pissed about that was looking forward too that feature,for you(jcase) too go out your way too add that was great but there is someone that always screws it up for others that has patience
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fawaan:
Really bad to hear that, I now realized that how you took our pain. Sorry for not to understanding you.

Thanks GOD that it was fixed at last and your phone is safe now.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jumpjet2k:
My brother just installed the Lollipop update (4.28.502.1 CL511189) on his AT&T HTC One M8 last night, hoping it would fix the MMS issues. It didn't, of course. (Thanks, HTC.) Does SunShine work for the new update? Or has that been determined yet? I haven't gotten a hold of his phone yet to try it myself.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slogar25:
This I understand.....frustrating. What you do is amazing though
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
It should work, you will have to unlock that version at htcdev.com first, but honestly I have not confirmed it as I loaned our my AT&T m8. It won't HARM it, so give it a try.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jumpjet2k:
Noted! Thanks for the help. I'll post again if I try things out.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Uzephi:
Post 3081 in the thread. Everyone remember this number. In the vzw m7 section I get the question of "why do I have to pay?" This helps answer it. Doing these exploits has a chance of destroying phones. The money has to come from somewhere. Keep up the great work Sunshine team.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] paul_59:
I have no wish to start an argument with thread author or any xda member.

I accept that it is your choice whether you charge for your S off method or provide it free to xda members.

That said, my recollection is that previous software methods of obtaining S off have been provided free of charge.

(HTC One M7)

As I stated initially it's your choice as to how if at all you make your method available, there have however been non jtag method for previous HTC phones that were made available to xda members at no charge.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Not like this one.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Moe Hailstone:
m8 or m9

Should I purchase verizon m8 or m9 with future unlock / root in mind?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Harry44:
I would it say it is probably a pretty safe bet. JCase & beaups had S-Off after only having the m9 in hand for 24 hours. Let me tell you they are the dream team.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Moe Hailstone:
That was my thought too but don't know what carrier his m9 is on, I'll be using Verizon.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
If you buy a Verizon m8 with 4.4.4 or below (which most or all seem to have out of box) SunShine will work, you can't yet use sunshine with Verizon m8 on 5.0.x. We are unsure about Verizon m9 support, seems lightly but could be a while.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] qendadar:
Every day I read this thread and every day I hate Verizon more and more (owner of m8 with Lollipop on it when I got it)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] burntbean1:
Don't worry, I have faith in these guys. Was the same when I got my DNA. Had to wait because of Verizon but they eventually came out with moonshine. I'm sure it will be the same with sunshine. :)

Insertcoin 4.1.0 wont SunShine S-Off

I have a Sprint M8 running Insertcoin 4.1.0 4.4.3 I want to update it to lolipop and it won't Sunshine S-Off. How do I go back to stock ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] c5satellite2:
Big thanks to jcase, beaups and the entire s-off team for all your awesome work.

Big FU to everyone who annoys them or complains that it costs $25. You obviously just don't get it. Please stop annoying the great devs we have, you only ruin things for the other 99+% of us.

You really have to stop asking for more and more and more, they already give us everything they are able to.

1 If they have an exploit they make it available to us

2 If they are working on something, it will be released if and when it's ready

3 Asking for eta or pestering a dev is the dumbest thing you can do

4 If you don't agree that s-off is worth $25 then you are free to develop your own s-off package

5 The devs here owe you nothing, even if they are charging for their software. Nobody is forcing you to s-off your phone

6 Many phones do not have the great support we have, be thankful for our awesome devs. We are actually very lucky!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Warjcowski:
pending us updates

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] phandroid and a few other sites are reporting that the U.S. carriers are pushing a .33 update for the m9. Do you recommend that we wait for an all clear from you before updating?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
I suggest waiting until our phones are updated and we can verify.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jumpjet2k:
Okay, worked fine. Unlocked with htcdev, rooted, and SunShine had no problems. Thanks again!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dinoc:
google edition rom?

Any chance to have the sunshine working with the google edition rom?

I tried on mine and it says that is not working and I should install a close to stock rom.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KennyG123:
The chances of the team putting in efforts to make it work on non-stock ROMs are slim and none. They have hundreds of devices and variant OS versions to deal with as priorities.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
The solution here is to unlock the GPE device, and flash a sense rom. The rom will need to be heavily debloated due to the reduced system partition size on GPE devices (assuming this is an actual GPE device or one fully converted, non gpe devices simply running a GPE rom should be fine with any stock sense rom).

TWRP Can't Mount "/System"

Hey everyone,

I tried searching for this exact problem and found threads containing info for different phones and different versions of software, but I wanted to see if you all could clarify exactly what I need to do.

Basically, I used Sunshine (newest version) to S-Off, Root, and unlock boot loader (which worked amazingly well, thank you jcase). I decided I wanted to install TWRP and then Cyanogenmod. I used the TWRP Manager App to install version 2.7.1.0. I then tried to install CM11 M12 but got a message stating it failed because it couldn't mount "E: /System". Now, when I try to reboot into the OS it hangs at the HTC screen.

I have read something about possibly flashing an "RUU" then it will work. I don't really know what that is, or how to find the one for my exact phone.

Would someone be kind enough to explain a possible fix like I'm five years old?

Thank you in advance.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
First, as a mod, I have to ask you to remain on topic and post questions like this in their relevant sections.

Second, what carrier and model phone, so I can hunt down the proper instructions and firmware for you, should be fairly easy fix.

Do you have a custom recovery, like TWRP installed?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Frag Mortuus:
I understand, I just didn't know which forum would be the best (HTC One M8, Verizon HTC One M8, General, Developer, etc). I apologize.

However, I currently have Verizon and I have TWRP 2.7.1.0.

Thank you!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JH1108:
I read on the website that there was going to be a separate apk for Motorola Phones, is that currently in the works and will it possibly support 4.4.4, I can't do much with just root
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Where did you read this, as its not true.

Your best bet is to flash a rom designed for verizon m8 from the developer section.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] burntbean1:
3.0.7 was a separate apk for Motorola if I'm not mistaken but the newer versions are all in one. That's my understanding. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Not really, Motorola was broken on 3.0.0 to something like 3.0.8 or so, we were pointing Motorola users to a 2.8.5 apk until we had it fixed. We were unable to find anymore vuln motophones near us, and once we test on a motorola phone its no longer usable for testing. So it took us time to get it fixed in 3.x
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Tigerstown:
3 future customers :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
We pikced one up today, not ETA on verizon m9, our's is even still s-on.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Tigerstown:
I'm good on ETA cause I'll be watching an will be ready to go 1 min when or if it does drop bet that :). With out you guys I wouldn't be able to keep Vzw top notch service an for that my whole house thanks you..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] izzledizzle:
I think your issue is using TWRP 2.7. I was having similar issues until I updated to 2.8.3 or whatever the newest one is. If you're on a lollipop rom then you definitely need to update bc lollipop requires a different partition or directory (I think) that only the newest version can flash to.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Frag Mortuus:
OK, back up and running, but no root.

Hey everyone, I got my phone backup and running, but now I don't have root. I can't run weaksauce 2, but it shows I still have s-off when I try to run Sunshine. Any idea how to get root back?

Also when I reboot and hold power+vol down it does nothing. I reflashed the 4.4.2 RUU. I think I'm going to play it safe and keep the stock ROM with root and change the files to prevent OTAs. But still need root back, lol.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
FLash TWRP, then flash supersu
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jureca:
Stop asking whether or not we will have new version, to continue the good work thanks :good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] treIII:
I have Tmobile variant HTC one m8. Sunshine will not unlock or soff. I paid when sunshine was first released and all went well. Then had to get new screen. HTC sent phone back and contacted me and said it must be s on in order to do warranty work. So I had to relock son and send it back to HTC. Now I'm on 4.4.4 and sunshine will not work. I thought sunshine would unlock the boot loader on 4.4.4. Or must I now use HTC Dev. Sunshine says it cannot gain temporary root. Thanks

You need to use HTC dev to unlock then root, and then you can use Sunshine.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] deakelem:
So if i am reading this correctly if I had 3.1 and an unlocked sprint m9 I can get s-off? As a previous customer that would be awesome and id love to have 3.1 but do not see it on your site.

Thank you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
3.1, which is coming soon, will support m9. It will require that you unlock the bootloader (or have one like the dev edition that comes unlocked), and root the device by using TWRP.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] deakelem:
Ty sir, just didnt know if it was out or still in the works. Thanks again for the hard work ill check back day to day to see if its released.

Cheers
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] danlat1415:

I wouldn't update firmware till your s-off.

I don't think it's possible to S-OFF on Sprint Lollipop at the moment, you'll have to wait for support to be added.

If they can fix it without replacing the mother board, then the same license will work, otherwise you will need to purchase a new license.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Sim-X:
My HTC M9 is still sitting in the box unactivated from Sprint. I was gonna wait a while for s-off and some xposed updates but might fire it up this weekend. Is it safe to apply 1.32.651.30 OTA camera fix update from Sprint? I'm not sure if it updates the hboot or if it will affect sunshine s-off when it is released. I know it is best to wait but since no exploit has been made public yet I'm guessing they didn't patch it this early so if that is the case I would like to run the OTA then make a nandroid after it's up and running before unlocking.

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] I have a Droid Razr HD Maxx running on system version 183.46.15. I used to have a an unlocked Razr HD Maxx, but recently received a replacement via insurance on this locked firmware. I love this phone and do not have any desire to upgrade to newer motorola phones. I love the physical build of this phone, the screen, battery life, and I use the HDMI feature all the time. The only thing I miss is the ability to flash AOSP roms and mods. I've used the latest sunshine and followed the steps to get it to work on my device, and I always get a strange error message during the compatibility test about halfway through. I submitted a ticket online and I received this response.

Hi,

We are having some issues with some of these 2012 devices. We've identified the issue and are looking into a fix, although it could be some time before we are able to resolve.

Thanks

--beaups

I'm just curious if you know or could explain what exactly is presenting the issue... Like, is it a component of the Trust Zone, the bootloader, the root method, etc? If you could elaborate on the subject as much as you can I'd be very grateful. Also to the latter part of the response I received, I realize that you can't give an estimated time because you guys are looking into a fix, but is it possible that this will be a phone model/software version that is phased out/given up on in future versions of sunshine? If so, that would be a big disappointment, I hope you guys don't give up because everyone that is stuck on this build in the Razr M and HD sections of XDA and other sites all see Sunshine as their last hope. :crying::crying:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Primary issue is that we have limited resources, people, time, and money. Adding a device ties up all three. Motorolas are particularly costly to add, as they are one shots, after we unlock them we have to purchase another if we want to test any further. It is to the point now that we can not even find compatible motorolas to test with locally, so sometimes it breaks and we don't know until people tell us.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zachariahpope:
Wow. Thank you so much for the quick reply. I had no idea that Motorolas are more expensive for you guys to test on. That's very interesting. For what it's worth, I've bought 3 different sunshine licenses recently all for friends with htc one m8s... I think $25 is a great deal, but honestly if your resources are as limited as they are, you guys can really up that price without it affecting your sales. $35 is not unreasonable by any means. Sunshine is AWESOME. It's gaining a trusted reputation and it's SAFE. Other bl unlock methods charge so much more, and I'm sure you know this already. I truly think you guys have a lot to gain by increasing the price. More money= more unlockable devices and y'all already cover a range of devices. I hope you'll consider it!
