Sunshine never sets a device s on, nor does it normally s-off a device without payment. Likely your device came back from repair with a mismatched old firmware, and probably has either been s-off before, or was already licensed for sunshine. At any rate, there are ways to unbrick by flashing properly matched firmware in Linux. We can help you out in IRC or you can search for Dexter's m7 unbrick project here on XDA.Hello!
Guys I had absolutly WEIRDEST experience with sunshine s-off app yesterday!
I got my HTC One (M7) back from repair service on 31.12. 2013, it was ungraded to KitKat, with hboot 1.57 therefore no other s-off method than sunshine. I was surfing your site for payment details, planning about creating paypal account to pay for SunShine,....while I saw that I can download app on site. I said to myself: "Lets intall app and see, however I wont be able to use it, since i didnt pay yet, but lets see". I installed SunShine-latest on my One (Which is M7_UL, and was COMPLETLY STOCK without root, locked bootloader, etc,.... AND was running KitKAt 4.4.3). I started app and it asked me if I want it to temporarily root my phone, I allowed it, and it seemed to do it. It said it will do some compatibility checks,.... Here comes the fun part: I cannot say if it asked me to continue and Unlock and S-OFF, i cannot remember, but it certanly didnt ask me for payment. However it ran for a minute or such and than it said that my phone is S-OFF and has unlocked bootloader and phone shut down. I left it like that for cca 15 min. Than I took it and tried to power on. It didnt. I pressed power button for 5, 15, 60 secs and nothing. Not even vibration, blink, nothing. I plugged it to computer and it recognized it as QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager. After some surfing I realised my beloved ONE is brick, but thanks god for HTC unbricking project. After some trying I booted Ubuntu from live CD and restored my HTC. However after I checked fastboot, my phone was S-OFF and had UNLOCKED bootloader.
I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THAT I DID NOT PLAY WITH YOUR APP AND TRY TO CRACK IT OR SUCH. IT SIMPLY NEVER PROMPTED FOR PAYMENT AND JUST S-OFF AND UNLOCKED MY PHONE AND EVENTUALLY BRICK IT I GUESS.
I told you this because I felt urge to share my story, I am not blaming anyone for things that happened to me. Only way I see this possible
is that my phone was already S-OFF once and when you put it back to S-ON it doesnt lock completly.
If anyone has any idea WHY did this happen please tell. If anyone notices my mistake in my behaviour please TELL so that i can avoid it next time.
Sorry for my tiring long post and my english
[Android][Unlock/S-OFF] SunShine for modern Motorola & HTC devices
- Thread starter jcase
- Start date
Dont worry, my phone already rocks android 5.0 and it FLIES
. (I unbricked it with Dexters unbrick)I dont know, maybe they screwed with something on repair service. Maybe they were "screwing" with firmware, since repair log says that they swapped camera and "calibrated device" (which can also mean screwing with firmware, etc,....). Yeah my phone was S-OFF before, but i set it back to stock S-ON included. Has this something to do with my phone being S-OFF before, but on older hboot (1.56 - but I didnt use sunshine back then - I think it was rumrunner)? Or maybe guys at service paid me sunshine S-OFF - I wouldnt mind - allthough i highly doubt it
Yes that's a mismatched firmware issue for sure. Glad you were able to get it sorted out.Dont worry, my phone already rocks android 5.0 and it FLIES

Sounds like you used rumrunner before. Score on getting s-off at the price of running dexter' script.
Just used sunshine today on AT&T m8 had me unlocked and s off in 5 minutes couldn't believe how easy it was worth paying for rooted and s off'd a lot of devices even the wire trick with the HTC vivid this by far the easiest i've ever done no computer needed great job devs ?

SunShine 2.8.2 has been released and brings greater compatibility for verizon 4.4.4, and more stable temproot.
this does not fix the "known issue" devices.
this does not fix the "known issue" devices.
Hi jcase. Am on a Vodafone UK (hence European) M8 with 4.4.4. Sunshine compatibility check tells me I need to manually root (and SuperSU) before re-running.
Have checked this thread - most of the chatter is around Verizon 4.4.4. Not much on European or UK devices.
Presume I'm better off waiting for Sunshine 3?
thanks

You'll need to unlock with htcdev and flash recovery then root. After that, sunshine will tell you if it can work to s-off your device or of you need to wait for 3.0.
Great, thanks beaups. Have unlocked via HTCDev. Presume "flash recovery" means TWRP or similar.
I purchased 2 different licenses for 2 different HTC one max phones. Had to wipe and send back one phone to HTC for repair.
I got it back today and guess what; they replaced phone under warranty! Can I get the license code from you or must I purchase a third time? Thanks!

If they replaced it with a different phone, then you will need to buy a new license, as they will likely fix that phone, and ship it to someone else. Someone else has almost certainly ended up with your license.

No I reflashed before sending back for fear of warranty issue.

License is retrieved from the license server using a hardware based unique identifier, nothing done to the device should ever remove this with exception of hardware changes.

88Turbo Support has been merged into the main APK, and no longer needs mofo/Kingroot to work.
This version requires you to be on the 5.1 SU4TL-44 with the matching 3.10.40-perf-g90ddf4a Kernel.
Code:Happy Holidays ! [B][COLOR="Red"]SunShine 3.2 BETA for Droid Turbo [/COLOR][/B](All other devices use the 3.1.XX release for now, as this is untested on other devices). Again DO NOT USE THIS ON ANY OTHER MODELS. This is a beta, why? It needs more testing and has some bugs, but it is safe and it works. We wanted to get it out today, over the next day or two we will patch some bugs and push another version. (No need to upgrade if you get unlocked). This version requires you to be on the 5.1 SU4TL-44 with the matching 3.10.40-perf-g90ddf4a Kernel. You must either be rooted with Mofo, or Temp rooted with the latest kingroot from [url]http://kingroot.net[/url] (yes it works on the 5.1 SU4TL-44 release, it may take a couple tries, and is free). When Kingroot finishes rooting, go to the setting and uncheck and recheck the option called "Root Authorization" (or something like that), than go into Sunshine, You MUST have wifi on, even if not connected to wifi. If it gets "stuck" for more than 5 minutes on a test, turn phone off, then check your bootlaoder. If its not unlocked, try again. It can take a couple goes (you only get charged once, and we guarantee it will work). KingRoot can also cause it to fail if their root bugs out for some reason, solution is to just try again. Uninstalling Kingroot , rebooting then reinstalling may be needed in some cases if it fails. SunShine 3.2 BETA for DroidTurbo ONLY:k[/url]26
Actually, no lets stop that. Your post was not made with all due respect. The moment you came to this thread, and knowingly went off topic, the respect left the window. With who you were, and your history, you know better than to do this.
The respect was also out the window when YOU broke confidentiality and leaked the existence of it. You have no place to complain when you behave the way YOU did.
The support for this decision to go pay has been overwhelmingly positive. We have had less trouble/rudeness with SunShine than with free releases, almost everyone has been great (real eye opener for us). No customer has had a bricked or damaged device from it. It is fast, it is easy. I do believe this will be the future, and I want to thank everyone who has been great. Especially those that have helped others.
Doing paid releases will allow us the ability to release more, and better quality releases. Money is available for us to pickup bugs from other researchers needed to complete our projects instead of devoting months more time to research to find an equal bug, money is available for us to pay for another programmer is we are too busy, or out of our zone. We can hire support people if needed, to run support, so we can do what we do well, instead of helping someone who doesn't know how to use adb. Overall this has been great in every aspect that the free releases were disheartening, and well not fun. When we get less complaints about a paid release, than a free one, you know something is going right.
Reasons why:
- Bounties don't pay, they are often full of fake pledges and that is a well known fact. I collected about 30% of the last one. Solves that problem.
- Scumbag thief's repack and resell work (http://www.gsmcocktail.com/ is mostly consisting of things beaups and I released for free). Solves that problem.
- People believe they are entitled to our time, and are rude when they are told they are not. Well, now if they pay, they are entitled. Solves that problem.
- Cost of test devices is too high. I'm not even an HTC fan, and I have purchased 4 HTC phones in last month. I've purchased for research over 30 phone since the start of this month. This field is expensive to play in.
- Cost of needed software is too high, I spent 10x (no kidding) the cost of the car my son is getting, on the software used in developing WeakSauce. Not counting the three phones I ended up buying to further research the bug (since we can't just let anyone test anymore, because people seem to give away our work and not care about confidentiality).
- More but I have no coffee cup at this hotel, and my head isnt working.
Maybe when a better solution to bounties is developed, we will return to collecting bounties.
