last question before I move forward... will you be able to help if the tampered flag pops back up after I am locked and S-ON?

OK, that is what I did before, after I got everything back to stock, I ran the "unroot" in SuperSU but, supersu still remained... Then I downloaded/paid for the universal unroot app and supersu was gone but, reappeared after factory reset... This is why I am hesitant to do anything again, in...

To clarify for my slow, non-skills having self... So you mean on the old 4.4.2 RUU you previously posted??? You want me to Get the phone back to locked bootloader and S-On again? But leave root?

So, I posted this thread a few days ago... quick sum up... -Trading my phone in for GS5 via Verizon Edge Up, need phone to be as close to stock as possible. -Found instructions here and followed them (I think the last 2 steps need to be swapped around though, shouldn't I be uninstalling SuperSU...

install the sunshine APK on your phone from here, make sure you have it enabled to allow 3rd party installs. Once the app is installed, open it... it will go through a series of compatibility tests and, if all is well you will be prompted to pay the $25... once payment is processed just...

alright, so jcase just worked his magic on my phone... he typed some stuff, it worked, i'm happy... i am now back to stock ROM, S-OFF, Unlocked bootloader, stock recovery & rooted i followed the instructions here once jcase got me all sorted out with the above... what i see becoming an issue...

I thought weaksauce didn't work on 4.4.3?

I tried running sunshine on my phone... It wouldn't run because for whatever reason, it couldn't gain root access to the phone.

thanks for the tip, there may be a light at the end of the tunnel, tomorrow I may be all good.

I actually just noticed that I still have a few older TWRP backups stored on my ext_sd, saved under /TWRP/BACKUPS/**DEVICESERNO**... Can I flash an older backup although I am on the below? Stock Recovery S-ON Locked Bootloader No root?

First off, thank you for responding so often trying to help me out with this... That is the link I downloaded the APK from, it was named "Sunshine_latest.apk" or something to that affect...

I downloaded the sunshine apk. It installed but tells me it needs root access to run...

The update did go through though... I'm on 4.4.3 stock S-ON, no root and locked bootloader... And now SuperSU is reinstalled.

I can't remember honestly. I have 2 folders in my TWRP backup folder on ext_sd. The problem right now is I am no longer rooted so, I am a bit stuck... Correct me if I'm wrong but, I don't think there is a root method for Verizon 4.4.3... Is there?

So, I needed to return my phone back to stock recently (yes, HTC ONE M8 VERIZON). Followed the directions posted here and all went perfect. Did have to purchase the "Universal Unroot" app to get SuperSU to uninstall. About 20 minutes later, I get a notification stating there was an update...
