[One (M9) General] wangateur:
not really sunshine related but does anyone know if i install the new sprint firmware if it will stay when i flash back to viper rom? or is it something that needs to be added to the actual rom? i made a huge jump going to the m9 from the og 3vo so i just want to make sure.

Thanks all

if this is a stupid question my bad rofl:) and thanks
[One (M9) General] Jonny:
Firmware is independent of the ROM - flashing a new ROM won't affect the firmware.

Also there is a Q&A section for a reason... ;)
[One (M9) General] Barso1:
I have just tried this on my UK M9 and it says I need root.

Is this right?
[One (M9) General] wangateur:
rofl thanks for the assist johnny

take care all
[One (M9) General] Android The Greek:
Yes you need to be rooted first
[One (M9) General] dsymbol:
During the flash process, how's the payment to sunshine actually done?

thanks
[One (M9) General] jauhien:
PayPal..
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
It worked for me on 1.32.710.16 version
[One (M9) General] dsymbol:
Thank you. But how is it actually done during the flash process?

the flash process will stop half way & ask for $25, I will have to sign in the paypal account from the phone & pay to continue?
[One (M9) General] jauhien:
That's correct.. :)
[One (M9) General] Adam182:
I'm confused haha, if flashing a new ROM won't update the firmware then how is waiting for custom ROMs to be updated to the latest base a way of updating to .17 - Adam
[One (M9) General] Jonny:
Because you can flash the firmware separately from the ROM.
[One (M9) General] Adam182:
Oh i see so once the base of the ROM im using is at .17 i can then flash a .17 firmware straight ontop - Adam
[One (M9) General] Duncan1982:
I think it would be firmware & then the ROM, but could work the other way around (not sure) :P
[One (M9) General] Jonny:
I'd advise firmware then ROM most of the time - it doesn't matter if the firmware version is newer than the ROM version but we have had cases in the past where the ROM can't be newer than the firmware (the upgrade to ICS on HTC Sensation comes to mind - new ROM wouldn't boot on old firmware).
[One (M9) General] Adam182:
Now Im wondering how waiting for the ROM to update to the .17 base makes any difference if I would be flashing the .17 firmware first anyway which is what I was originally trying to find out how to do :) this is hardwork for me I dread to think how hard it is for you to try and explain this to a full bore noob- Adam
[One (M9) General] clsA:
The M8 was a good example of firmware not matching the rom being a huge problem .. most times it broke wifi and cell data.

up till now this has not been a problem on the M9 their have only been some minor bug fixes and camera / kernel tweaks in the firmware.

when the base changes from the 1.32.xxx.xx to a 1.33.xxx.xx or 2.xx.xxx.xx we may see some issues, but for now everyone is on 1.32.xxx
[One (M9) General] mikey_sk:
can anyone explain the process of fully going back to stock, unrooting, turning s back ON and relocking the bootloader but deleting the tamper flag so it says LOCKED rather than relocked.

also can someone explain how i can then flash the original stock firmware assuming i have installed a custom rom?

have to say as compared to a nexus and even LG/Samsung, all these silly layers are a tad annoying ..... grrrrr lol
[One (M9) General] Duncan1982:
Now have S-Off and tbh for the simple process and effort that goes in, why would anyone mind paying the little that Is asked, thanks to the teams efforts for providing this :)
[One (M9) General] minotauri:
Getting it back to original stock is a bit cumbersome but its possible. (correct me if I'm wrong on this)

You need to first flash an official HTC RUU, which will restore the system, recovery, boot, etc. It should remove the flag and make it say OFFICIAL again. I was only able to do to this via the sdcard method and not the fastboot method but others have had luck with fastboot.

Then to relock the bootloader: fastboot oem lock

To turn security back on: fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

(I'm not 100% sure if turning s-on will keep the OFFICIAL flag or not, as i still have mine s-off)
[One (M9) General] Aldo101t:
you can also use a debit or credit card.
[One (M9) General] sausje85:
I'm sorry if this seems rude to ask, but I really need to know if we could expect another method that's free any time soon?

As $25 doesn't seem a lot for many here, for me it's more than half a week worth of food that i won't be having.. So this is no option for me.

Yet i'm still going to need to update firmware soon with the new ones coming out and all those other methods to update firmware I've never used and thus kinda scared to do them that way..
[One (M9) General] hoosbude:
What's all the fuss about with S-OFF???

I've got TWRP and a custom rom installed with S-ON, so why would I need to pay for S-OFF???

Am I missing something obvious here?
[One (M9) General] Behold_this:
Nope, you're really not. I don't mean this in any kind of a snide way but if you don't know what s off is, and you have to ask that question, the truth is you really don't need it.

However, to answer your question a little bit further, s-off allows you to flash unsigned firmware and ROM packages. Allows you to change your model ID and CID thus allowing you to convert your device. There's a host of other things you can do with it, but if none of this means anything to you, you don't need it. No reason to spend the money. On the other hand, there's a large community here that craves the customizibility of a s off device. For us $25 is well worth it.
[One (M9) General] hoosbude:
I know what S-OFF is, but there's no real need for this as there isn't better RUUs available so paying to change my CID to superCID (or other) is pointless IMHO. I might be tempted to S-OFF if a GPE RUU becomes available tho.
[One (M9) General] Behold_this:
You asked the question, I answered it. Your attitude is kind of perplexing. There is no GPE version of the m9. In fact the GPE program is over, and if you're not interested in paying the $25, simply don't. Commenting about how you don't find it worth it in a thread that is specifically about it really makes no sense.
[One (M9) General] l7777:
No

If $25 is that critical to your budget, what are you doing with a brand new $650 piece of equipment? That's months worth of food. You should probably rethink your priorities.
[One (M9) General] Max128:
I think the same thing and I have already given my opinion. but OH do not say that in this theard.. We receive pebbles when you not have the same opinion.
[One (M9) General] Behold_this:
You're free to post whatever opinion you want but its not accomplishing what you think it is. All its doing is making people complaining about paying for a quality service look spoiled and entitled. Its not making the devs look bad one bit. As they've said many times, they'd be willing to post sunshine free of charge if somebody wants to take over the company expenses. Nobody wants to do that! Nope, in fact, what they want to do is ***** and moan like petulant children.
[One (M9) General] Jonny:
If you are struggling for money that much or $25 is that much for you then how on earth have you got an M9?

And no, there will not be a free method soon (or at any time) unless someone else finds a way to S-OFF and releases it for free. SunShine is the cheapest method for S-OFF and its not free due to the investment the developers behind it have put into developing the exploits - I believe they have bought up to 4 M9's at this point in time (that cost has to be recuperated somehow so its not a viable option for them to release it for free), your other options are JTAG and JavaCard, both services cost an awful lot more than $25.
[One (M9) General] vtotheinay:
i am going to do it just for the ease of being able to flash new firmware/radios when necessary. i ran into a bunch of issues on my M7 running custom roms cause i was on old firmware and radios trying to run newer updated ROM bases. making the firmware update process easier is well worth $25 for me cause I am planning on having this device for hopefully 2 years.
[One (M9) General] sausje85:
Funny how everyone is quickly jumping the gun huh, maybe do some research and see that i'm a long time Elevate member, maybe think i got the phone for free. And don't come with bs that i should sell it then, just because i don't have lots of money, i have no right to carry around this that i didn't pay anything for?!

f me.. having to justify this to a bunch of strangers that shout before knowing facts :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

But i see the time here that everyone did this as a hobby, in order to help each other, is loooooooooong gone, it's all about the $$$$$$ now....
[One (M9) General] Duncan1982:
I'm sure no one can argue the principles of this world now is instead of I'll do this favour for you and I don't expect money in return is now I'll do this favour but I want X amount.

However for the simple process and effort that went into the exploit & making it so safe n easy for noobs then $25 is not to bad, the rest of what you do after is completely free, so a nice compromise :)
[One (M9) General] amrish96:
So if I understand this correctly, sunshine needs root, to get root I need a custom recovery, and for that I need to unlock the bootloader, which will wipe the device. Am I missing something here?
[One (M9) General] Duncan1982:
No that's about right :)
[One (M9) General] BUBBA DUB'S:
I made sure all the drivers were current and up to date, use adb and fastboot to get the id to submit to HTC to unlock the bootloader, flashed captains beta twrp 2.8.6.4 via download mode (made nandroid of stock OTA), used the beta version of super su via captains thread to root, then installed sunshine apk and let it do its thing. Reboot recovery and make another backup , then proceeded to install custom rom.

Note : I was out of box on sprint x.xx.xxx.15 software, updated OTA to x.xx. xxx.30 before I did this and it went smooth as butter
[One (M9) General] Jonathan-H:
Yep meaning all the hard work in the world, even if they're only charging a measly 25 dollars, is completely negated by the fact the main reason for S-OFF (for me at least) is to ensure we have warranty while rooting etc, which is gone with this method.

An S-OFF should allow you to S-OFF a stock phone, or come back when it's ready, if it's going to charge for the priveledge.
[One (M9) General] amrish96:
I wish sunshine would also unlock the bootloader. I've been using my M9 for over 3 weeks, it's annoying if everything gets wiped. I guess it's time to see if helium backup really works without root :p
[One (M9) General] BUBBA DUB'S:
How hard is it to unlock and root the phone??? Even if you want to go back to stock and change it back to s on it pretty easy to follow the steps, not to mention HTC gives you up to one year to destroy your device and get a new one for free! I haven't been around that long ,but this was the easiest phone to unlock and s off by far. And 25 bucks for how easy jcase and crew make it to s off is worth it IMO.
[One (M9) General] Jonny:
You can return your device to a stock "locked" status by using the command in Scotty123's thread if you ever need to return it or get it repaired on warranty. You can tell the HTC support team that yes you did request an unlock code but you didn't use it. Tried and tested method by many people.

Also if it's a hardware fault they will repair it anyway regardless of unlock or S-OFF status. They will only question you if its a software error resulting from messing with the phones software.
[One (M9) General] l7777:
You got those responses because you tried to come in here with a sob story that you couldn't afford the $25 to S-Off your device because

We were only pointing out that most of us paid anywhere from $200 - $600 for our devices and at best $70/month for service. If you need $40/week (because you said $25 was more than half a week) to eat you could have had anywhere from 1 - 3 months worth of food for the cost of the device. Hell for that matter you could have sold the brand new boxed M9, turned around and purchased an M8 and still had $$ left over to S-Off if the M8 wasn't already. We'll just say you had other options.

As for your rights, you have every right to carry around a free device, but you don't have a right to S-Off said device for free.

Let's not forget you were the one to come in and start complaining about $$$$. It's been pointed out many times why they are asking for a modest $25 to S-Off your device.

We all love our toys, but lets face it, they are toys not necessities. If I was scraping that hard for $$ I certainly would not have held on to a free device that could have netted me some quick $$.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lekofraggle:
There is a chance (just a small chance) it is not completely hard bricked. Charge it overnight, then plug it into a computer and try booting it. Also, try holding down the power button for a few minutes. These are all incredibly long shots, but worth a try.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Deleted member 4770499:

No, don't try to fix it by some person that says they can. This tablet is very hard to recover. If you can't get it to ADB, then you won't be able to fix it, unless someone finds a exploit with fastboot.

Perhaps it's not my place (Being a newbie:eek: )but thought this forum could do with a dedicated thread for comments regarding what software works on the Monet/Lobby and how to load it in.

What software is crap and what software is spectacular.

And where to get it and is it FREE!:D :D

I'm sure that I and others will visit frequently for the latest views & opinions.

Just for starters here are some truly FREE ringtones.

[HTC Monet] ringp3ace:
My 'must have' apps

1. Sprite Backup Personal Edition (Version 5.2.0) - very handy for backup and restore of your Lobby. You can create self-extracting restore 'exe' files on your micro-SD card 'just in case'.

2. Tom Tom Mobile (Version 5.200 (4450)) - brilliant Sat Nav.

3. Automatic Keylock (v3.87) by Danny Baumann. The normal Windows keylock (pressing the Red Hang Up button) doesn't work that good for me. When someone calls you, I had the nasty habit of answering the call before I could see who it was, or even cutting many people off when taking the phone out of my pocket. This app gives you a screensaver that locks the keypad down a little better.

4. RealDice Mutliplayer Championship Poker (Version 4.24). Like playing Texas Hold'em? Why not play against other people over GPRS internet connection? I love this game. Even the AI in the single player is very good. The running costs (in terms of KB playing over the WAP/GPRS) isn't, surprisingly, that much.

5. Avantgo - Sync up all the latest news for your long commute to work.

6. Resco Smartpack - contains System Toys (battery / memory status), Photo Viewer, a more powerful Explorer application and a registry editor. I know that you can get some of these for free, but this pack is trouble free and very well written.

7. TCPMP (aka BetaPlayer) - One big drawback for me is that Windows Media Player doesn't allow you to easily Fast Foward through your movies or music when you are playing them. TCPMP can do this plus it is a fab media player, and there are many other codecs available to play non-Windows files too.

8. CellDoom - If you are as old as me and remember playing Doom on your old 386 then get yourself CellDoom. Dig out your old Doom WAD files and drain your battery playing this :-)

9. Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook (Windows Mobile Edition 2.5 (Build: 1258)) - Wish you could text as fast as the Young Guns? If you've got Outlook and a Smartphone then get this. Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook allows you to send SMS from your PC (via ActiveSync / USB connection). It will sync up all your Sent, Received and draft texts (SMS messages) on your Outlook too. Excellent for quick, long and multiple recepient messages.

10. Breaksoft Mobile Registry Editor. A PC based application that allows even easier registry access to your Smartphone.

Some of the above applications are free, others you will need to purchase. All can be found via Google :-)

Only the "Automatic Keylock (v3.87) by Danny Baumann" requires the Lobby to be unlocked.
