Sunshine Bootloader Unlock for SU4TL-49 is live!

[TheSt33v]

Can you use Sunshine on a device running one of com-freak's moforoot system images?

No. For sunshine to work, you need to have the bootloader that corresponds to SU4TL-44 or -49. If you're still using moforoot, your bootloader is older than that.

I am trying to use sunshine to unlock my phone but it keeps saying I am on incompatible firmware even though I am on SU4TL-49. For the record, I tried flashing to SU4TL-44 first(didn't knew then that Sunshine already supports 49), but I don't think that worked since its still showing firmware as 49 in the settings.

Can the resident Sunshine expert shed some light on this ?

Did you re-flash ALL of SUTL-49? In the past, Sunshine has failed because the firmware was not complete one version of firmware or the other. For instance, when you flashed SULT-44, your bootloader remained "49" (you can't downgrade bootloaders).

Reading your last sentence it sounds like you are still in that mixed state of affairs. You tried to flash ''44" and you are half and half. You need to re-flash SUTL-49 at this point.

Here's what I did:

1)Flashed 44 using the guide given in the other thread. I know it worked because when I restarted the phone, it was a factory reset.
2)Used Sunshine which didn't work. Then I checked the firmware and realized it was still 49.
3)Did some research and realized that I did not need to have flashed 44 since Sunshine works 49 too now.
4)Tried a factory reset from fastboot, tried sunshine again, didn't work.

Now I am going to try to properly flash 49 again using RSD lite and hopefully it will work. Thanks for your quick response. I feel like an idiot for having misread the OP in the other thread.

edit: Happy to report that worked, once again thanks.

Could someone please share a resumable mirror link of the latest apk...
My internet is damn slow, as the original link is not resumable, I am not able to download it full...
Kindly share the apk, on drive or something...

BS with sunshine

ok for almost a year i've tried to use sunshine and it kept saying i was using a incompatible version of the os (49) so i waited till they released updates to sunshine nothing then running something else it said my system was corrupted. i did a system restore tried sunshine and it got to the payment windows and i had to stop and use my phone then later i forgot to disable script blocking rerunning sunshine it fails and after contacting Beaups he tells me i'm banned from using the app that it has been modded and cant use it so I say F it F them for charging and NEVER BUY A CARRIER PHONE!!! i'm going to save up and buy a dev phone

Yes, his other posts are very hackish. These two below are about an AT&T update, and while there's nothing wrong about them, it shows he might investigate/attempt something like that on the Sunshine apk just to see if he could?

i found the update file itself in the cache folder i didnt update before looking after the third fail and found the odex files in the update itself failing not our phone i even tried to mod the update to skip the amdupdate*.* files in the zip file and it checks to see if the file has been changed i beleave the file on their server is bad and not us - i think i have a copy on my phone yet if someone wants to play with it

the odex files are actually in the update file itself i opened the file and found them hiding there - side note do not update after downloading the fota (rooted only) got to cache and the update file resides there to open it rename it with a .zip however every time i tried to mod the file it would fail a self check

So I say F it F them for charging and NEVER BUY A CARRIER PHONE!!!

@hellrazer1976, you don't necessarily need a "dev phone" to unlock bootloader/and or root, install custom ROMs. Look here on XDA. There are TONS of carrier phones on XDA!

Plus, many phones like LG don't require a bootloader to be unlocked to root and install ROMs (at least the AT&T versions don't). Or many carrier phones are already unlocked or bootloader unlocked on request by the manufacturer. (It's Verizon that prevents Motorola from doing that.) And there are unlocked carrier phones from other countries (like Canada, etc) that can be used on AT&T and T-mobile, and are easily rooted/custom ROMs installed. Plenty of options.

You can buy a "carrier" phone -- just don't buy a VERIZON phone. Anyone who buys a Verizon phone knows what they are getting -- or should. Long known Verizon strongly locks down their bootloaders. Thanks to devs like Sunshine team, they provide ways to Verizon phone owners to join the XDA community. But there are other choices besides Verizon phones, even if you need to stay on Verizon.

But first, let's talk about leaving control-freak Verizon...

1) Since you posted about AT&T you easily buy AT&T-branded phones like LG G3, LG G4. Those phones can be rooted, TWRP installed, custom ROMS all without unlocking the bootloader.

2) Many T-mobile phones have unlocked bootloaders, and they have LTE bands totally compatible not only with T-mobile but also AT&T (due to roaming agreements).

3) You can buy network unlocked phones from other countries, use them on AT&T and partake of all the goodies here on XDA. I own three Moto XT1225, the "international" version of the Droid Turbo XT1254. Bought 2 of them on eBay from Puerto Rico (Claro phones, but network unlocked by the dealer) and 1 through help of an XDA member in Mexico ("factory" phone straight off Motorola Mexico website; he re-shipped it to me). Bootloader easily unlocked, for free with code from Motorola. The XT1225 has LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17 -- plus tons of HSPA bands. Same exact hardware as the 64GB Droid Turbo, but perfect AT&T phone (AT&T uses LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 17).

The XT1225 and the XT1250 (exact clone of the XT1254, including same FCC ID and all Verizon radio bands) both have free bootloader unlock via code given by Motorola.


Now for people who need phones that work on Verizon...

For people who are stuck on Verizon due to geography, and can't use AT&T or T-mobile, then yeah your options are more limited. You can buy phones like the Moto XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx, which work on Verizon. But they are not always easy to find on Swappa, eBay, Amazon. A few months ago Jet and Amazon was selling them by the truckload, but I haven't seen them in awhile.

After that, they yeah there's the "dev" phones like Google's Nexus and Pixel and some limited Motorola phones.

There are no "scripts" in SunShine and Avast can't modify SunShine nor trigger what your device did. You tried, failed, and are now banned.

edit: I'll unban your phone if you take video shooting it and "using it for target practice" like you promised to do in your support ticket.

Need some help please. Haven't messed with my Droid Turbo since MofoRoot. I am running a Verizon Turbo rooted (MoFo): version 4.4.4 ; system 21.44.12.quark : build SU2-12. I have not accepted any OTA updates. I am interested in getting to MM 6.0.1. but the myriad threads are a bit confusing and I think the path described doesn't quite start at two years ago which is about where my droid turbo is. Thanks very much! Vince

fastest way to an unlockable firmware version is to use RSD Lite and firmware linked in post 3 of

Thanks shadow, must I unroot beforehand? Besides backing up (I use titanium) is there anything else I must do prior?

I have been stymied in the very first steps of RSD lite.
When I put my Droid Turbo into AP Fastboot mode, it displays r droid w chest open and
"AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)"
"BL: moto-apq8084-70-47 (sha-c723802, 2014-10-30 09:58:14)"
Baseband:
Product/Variant: quark XT1254 32GB P4A"

When I connect with a new amazon sourced fastboot cable, it shows Transfer Mode: USB Connected

from there, when I launch RSD Lite v6.2.4, I attempt to "show device" but get nothing in the device properties field

any help to get me past this point will be greatly appreciated!

thank you for the reply. ref drivers, installed Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation_6.4.0_64bit Windows 10 64bit M4800 laptop,

device manager sees: "Motorola ADB Interface"

Have also attempted connection with driver updated to "Mot Composite ADB Interface" following your photos posted step by step

neither driver helps me get the show device on RSD Lite

RSD Lite does not work on Windows 10.

This is the stock version of Marshmallow 6.0.1 you flash with RSD or fastboot, which can still be bootloader unlocked by Sunshine.
