Same problem

Hey, so did you manage to find a solution to finally get the phone sunshined? I recieved the same message when tried to s-off my HTC one m8 today. it seems only few faced this problem though, google found you only.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DMBFR:
Same problem for me!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] luxandroid:
Same for me, I'm on 4.4.4, did not do my homework, upgraded my m8 all the way first thing after buying it, coming from m7, but here things are surprisingly different, s-ooff is paid and firewater doesn't work, so a bit stuck...

Verizon Droid Turbo

3.0 will not be addressing Motorola devices, but do you still plan to support Motorola devices in future updates? I am most interested in the Droid Turbo.

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jahfil:
Hi guys,

I am still S-ON, my bootloader is locked and not root.

I would like to test if sunshine would work or not (just run the test for the

moment to know if it works with my phone or not).

Does running the test unlocks my bootloader and temp root my phone? The question behind that is will it wipe my data?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] luxandroid:
No it will not
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] curleecoleman:
Sunshine could not find the su binary. Please root your device then run sunshine. I read that sunshine didn't require root and that it will do this for you. Am I missing something?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bda714:
I've got same issue but I'm guessing it is because we are running 4.4.4 newest ota and err have to wait for the 3.0 version of sunshine to come out, can someone please verify? And also I tried the towel root methods it said to use if one or the other want working but the second like to the specific.apk version is returning a 404 not found. Anywhere else to find that or would it not help or situation anyway?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] luxandroid:
Sunshine can't work on 4.4.4 for now, maybe on 3.0 ver, I didn't know and updated to 4.4.4 out of the box with ota and stucked wit S-ON, just got my m8 3 days ago, didn't do my homework unfortunately, I tried latest sunshine with unlocked bootloader by htc DEV, ROOT, and latest InsertCoin, no luck

Droid Turbo Clarification Request

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION]: So just for clarification, is Motorola on 4.4.4 a dead issue, or just not being addressed in the 3.0 update? Like bigurb, I'm interested in the Droid Turbo as well (having just bought one). Not looking for an ETA or anything, just a statement about whether there will be further development or not. (Hoping for a yes....)

I tried this on my wifes m7 verizon and all went well, I get it s off and rooted then installed TWRP thru adb.

My troubles started after that, went to install viper room and get this :

unable to mount /system

any ideas ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Make sure you have the right recovery, this issue is unrelated to sunshine

Turbo is not supported at this time, no plans have been annouced for support.

wait for 3.0
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
As safe as paypal, as paypal takes over once the screen opens and we see none of that. If you wish, email me (email address in signature) and we can process this manually thought paypal.

What error are you getting?

What error are you getting?

Depends on how new your firmware is, our root doesnt work on some newer firmwares. You can try rebooting, waiting 4 minutes and trying again a few times.

Run sunshine, it will test and give you teh results. The test does not unlock you bootloader, it verifies that it can unlock your bootloader. No it doesnt wipe data.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] luxandroid:
It's incompatible message
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
in about 60-180 days we will update to support your device

so sunshine just charged my credit card and automatically closed???? I thought they said it wont charge the credit card if it cant be done
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
did it just close out? or did it reboot the device?

email me if you need help with payment issues, those are best done private and not on an open forum

I'm not sure what happened! sunshine fc'd twice but when i clicked pay with paypal the second time it took me to the soff option about doing final capability tests? anyways i think it worked! not sure what happened.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Boot ot the bootlaoder and verify that it is s-off, if not email me.

Was it on a custom rom or anything?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dreckis604:
yup it's soff now! quick question it's also unlocked as well? or do i need to do another step?

he already wrote it :D stop the 'pressure', pls :) you know 'duke nukem forever' and what the programmers said? xD

i've read somewhere someone with an o2 3.32 = 4.4.4 device successfully unlocked it via sunshine. i think it was on a german site. so it's not hopeless...

mine was s-off already, had to reset it to s-on for warranty; i really hope, the 4.4.4 sw on it can be sunshined again :ugly:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] luxandroid:
I didn't ask for any updates, just posted that doesn't work so other can see it also and to know it doesn't work, didn't understand what you meant with those numbers that's all, have nice day
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
You can reboot, wait 5 minutes and try again, do this a ocuple times, if it doesnt work then you need to install su manually with a custom recovery. SunShine may also not be compatible with your device at this moment

I didn't accuse you of asking, you asked a question where the numbers came from and I told you the truth

Root Issue - Is it possible to Downgrade

Hey guys,

My phone is on Android 4.4.4 (3.28.401.6).

My M8 is completely untouched.

I also have the problem that temp root doesn't work. Is there any way to downgrade the M8 to an earlier version?

Hey Guys. I just wanted to pop in and say thanks for making this! I couldnt for the life of me get S-off by myself on my 1.57 Hboot HTC One M7, even though I have S-Off'd nearly a dozen HTC Ones. Thanks for this update. Well worth the $25 to not worry about the headaches of S-off'ing an otherwise impossible HTC! Keep it up! Totally worth the $25!!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] seadersn:
just hopped in to confirm that on an o2 device with latest 3.32 = 4.4.4 fw sunshine can be used to s-off your device :)

or is this dependant on already being s-off before (and then did s-on), with earlier firmware, [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION]?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Some 4.4.4 devices are completely not compatible with sunshine at this time, some are just not compatible with the temproot and require rooting via htcdev.com, only way to know without getting me teh device is to try

Are you confirming that it worked on 4.4.4, or are you asking if it will?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] seadersn:
i'm confirming :) but that doesn't mean, that it should work for anyone else on 4.4.4, unless he/she is on o2 device / fw.

what i'm asking is if this is connected to the fact that it was securewrite-off before with an older firmware (but it was set back on s-on before sending it in for repair).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jayebird626:
First I'd like to thank all of you for your time and help. This site has been a godsend. I installed sunshine about a month ago and it was worth every penny and then some.

Now my question. I'm currently running android 4.4.3 but keep getting messages to update to 4.4.4. I've been reluctant to do so because I don't want to mess up anything. I'm wondering if there is any reason to update or stay on 4.4.3? The pop ups are annoying.

S- off with sunshine

After using SunShine and going s-off I try to flash a recovery and it just hangs on "waiting for device"

Shows the device when the phone is booted up, but when in fastboot device isn't listed and doesn't even say "Fastboot USB" just "Fastboot" - until I move the selector then "USB" shows up.

Any ideas?

Hi, I've paid the fee last night and wait for abit but it said that paypal could be slow in notifying the app, as it was already 2 am, I quickly did a clean install of the ROM I'm using and went to sleep.

However today morning it still says the same thing although I've already paid last night? I've received the confirmation email from paypal and also checked my bank account which has been debited.

Do I really have to pay again despite already having paid once? I've not even gotten S-Off for the first time I've paid.

I'm using a HTC One M7 by the way :)

Using Sunshine, I cannot get passed temp root , Couldn't find SU Binary error, I assume this is incompatible with My VZW HTC M8 4.4.4

Went on sunshine , Downloaded latest apk, and still nothing, Do I need to Root First, Sunshine says no.... And I cant find a Method that works, I am very impatient, Stock Sucks.....I may have to send it back and get a 4.4.3 replacement and S-off and Root that then go for the OTA....any word on a sunshine update?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Per OP and Website, you will have to wait for version 3.0, which is roughly 60-180 days out
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joeynshelby:
That's what it means. Fortunately for you I think you are you being supported in v3.0. Don't ask for updates. You will most likely be told 60-180 days.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] niac93:
Has anyone got this to work for the HTC one remix (Verizon version of HTC one mini 2)? Or will I have to wait for V3 for that? I know it's a ways out so I'm not asking for an ETA, just wanted to know if there was something extra I should do to get S-off with sunshine and eventually get it rooted (I know I have to do the permanent rooting and SU installing part myself) or if I just need to wait. I'll gladly pay 25 dollars for for sunshine since I'm pretty much a noob in this area and there is really no other solution out there for the Remix (I'm guessing not that many people own it?). Plus if I tried to do the whole thing myself I'm like 90% sure I would end up bricking my phone.

Anyway keep up the good work guys. Thanks!

edit: my phone is on 4.4.2 and last time I tried running sunshine it just froze so I am not sure if I'm doing something wrong or the Remix is just not supported....which wouldn't be surprising because apparently like nobody owns this phone.

Just used this great app and successfully s-offed my device .. it's international unit

It was on the latest 3.28.401.7 kit Kat 4.4.4

Just unlocked and rooted it then used sunshine and in 1 minute the payment is done and app s-offed the device instantly

I used direct payment with the visa .. is there any safety issues with this ?

I trust [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] and [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] thus I used this methhod as it was faster than PayPal

Thanks a lot for this great app and really worth every penny :)

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gsmyth:
So did you unlock with HTCdev first and root, then run Sunshine?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mido.fayad:
yes you should unlock first by htc dev then root manually because sunshine can't get temp root on 4.4.4
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gsmyth:
Thanks, good to know. I think I'll hold out for the 3.0 release so I can bypass the HTCdev unlock. Just so I can fully restore back to stock in case of any warranty issues. ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mido.fayad:
if u got s-off, u can fully restore back to stock and use warranty without problems at all even with unlocking through htc dev

and i know what i say and used warranty without any problems

all you will need is restore your preload folder and flash the firmware and locking your device and then u are completely stock with latest firmware with s-off

the same steps you will need even if u waited to sunshine 3.0 except that the preload folder won't be deleted

although it will got deleted if you wiped your device through any recovery

so it's the same in every way and just you make your self wait for nothing
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gsmyth:
Yep, but just using Sunshine means I won't appear on HTC's unlock database and so there cant be any quibbles if a warranty return was needed. I know different countries seem to have different approaches with warranty but would rather not have a reason for it to be refused.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mido.fayad:
i don't think that there is something called htc's unlock database

and note that requesting the unlock code doesn't mean that you have used it ;)

u can simply request the code then decide not to flash it or even have problems in flashing it then your device will still be completely stock with s-on ... so how will they be able to refuse warranty on something like that ?

so simply they can't refuse warranty for something that they don't even know :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bda714:
I am getting this same error reffering to "su binary not found". I see that one of your answers to this was that we would need to install su through a custom recovery first ?

Thank you sir. You do great work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] luxandroid:
It means you have to unlock bootloader with htc dev, than you can flash custom recovery and than gain root by flashing su

But if i use htc dev site for unlocking the bootloader, warranty voided.
