I can't believe they didn't lock that out! I was gonna wait for a Moto X Developer Edition if it didn't, but now this just makes me decision a little bit easier. I've had an HTC One as my work phone since it came out and I love it and I'll be getting a Moto X tomorrow but I don't know how long I'm keeping that job and this has been making my decision harder.
Another confirmation. Now I wonder if moonshine will work...
Why not confirm again. Just went through the process and unlocked my One as well.
Awesome news. That was the clincher. Purchased, picking up after work.

I do not see the Verizon One on the list at HTC Dev. Do you just choose 'other devices' on the drop down? Thinks for any help.

is the past is indicative of the future, unlock now while you can under "other devices"
both the inc4g and dna were able to utilize that to unlock for short periods of time after release, and both got locked out within 10 days-2 weeks
so for those that get the device, don't **** around...just unlock
urgh its like a race against time for me! I get home tomorrow and I'm picking it up around 6pm - I hope I can unlock immediately when I get home
Guys
Im not a dev, im coming from my rooted S3 and I always follow the directions you guys provide and have never had a n issue with my rooting and flashing.
Since i just bought the one should I follow the directions on youtube from and unlock or just sit tight until you guys put all this together....AND I do appreciate all that you guys do for us NON devs..

I just purchased the M8 hk edition and activated it. I haven't mess with an HTC phone since the evo 3d. I unlocked bootloader and rooted. I want to obtain s-off but everything I've researched looks like it either can't be done or you need to pay $25 for sunshine exploit... I can usually figure things like this out on my own, but I'm getting frustrated and would like some help. I've attached a screenshot of my phone info. If it's not possible as of yet, that is fine, just would like a clear answer. Thanks in advance.
Ps, this phone is nice!

Sunshine is the only 'paid' and working way.

There used to be other methods, but HTC patched those exploits. Sunshine is the only way now. If you take into consideration the time and broken phones it took for the Sunshine devs to get the method to S-Off out (If it was simple, other people would have posted their instructions here on XDA), $25 is a small price to pay. And believe me, S-Off makes everything easier. It is worth $25. Period.
I paid it lol. Thanks
Enjoy your S-OFF'ed device.

First of all, I just recently switched from IOS to Android so I don't know a lot of the correct terminology or parts of rooting yet. But, as I've searched around it seems there is no way to root the Verizon model of the htc one m9. All I want to do is be able to root my phone and get cyanogen mod 12. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
As of this moment, the only way is thru the use of a Java Card. There's a thread in this forum devoted to that, where you can get with one of the members that has a card and ship your phone to them for the procedure. Other than that, just waiting for beaups and jcase to get their method safe and available for public release. There's also a discussion on that.
Thank you so much for responding so quickly! I think I will just wait for the devs to release something. But, what would they be releasing and how can I keep an eye out for it?

You can also make an attempt at finding someone close to you who would be willing to meet, the procedure is quick and painless from what I hear and it will unlock your phone, it is called "S-Off" in the HTC world and allows you to unlock your bootloader to make the possibilities endless, giving the ability to flash custom ROM's and custom kernels. It is most definitely worth it.. Here is the thread for Java card
OK thanks! Maybe I can find someone on Craigslist to do this.
Please don't look on Craigslist. If you need root that bad, I know someone that can s-off your device with a Java card. Shipping costs both ways will be your responsibility though.

Every bad thing that has ever happened in the world started with this sentence...LMAO JK!
Not every but alot of them unfortunately.
I have never had a bad thing happen to me through Craigslist. Actually quite the opposite. I got deals I couldn't find anywhere else and I met people that were absolutely awesome! Actually the roommates I live with, I found through Craigslist and the job I currently have is because of Craigslist.
Of course 99% of the time you'll be fine but that other 1% will land you in a body bag. There have been a couple Craigslist transactions turned homicides on California in the past few years. If and when I do buy or sell something on Craigslist, I always meet in a very busy public place and bring someone with me. Can't be too careful these days sad to say.

Try ping-pong root in the Samsung s6 thread. Beta 6 will root the m9??
Sent from my SM-G925V using XDA Premium HD app
Simple root on this phone won't really be of much use to the regular user with the way write protection is on this device. The real deal will only arrive when s-off and unlocked bootloader happens.

Can you send me info on this? I have been holding off on the M9 since there's no root. If I can get S-Off for just the shipping costs (cheaper than Sunshine when it becomes available), I'd pick up an M9 ASAP.

Would you work for free? No.... It's common courtesy to tip the person who bought a several hundred dollar Java card for their time and effort.

I could have sworn I read that the Sunshine would work on the Verizon M9, but since there is no root, it doesn't get past the initial part of the Sunshine process... I very likely am mistaken though since all other variants were unlockable on HTCdev.
Just wondering, there seemed to be a few methods available to the M8, but it appears Sunshine is the only one right now. When searching Sunshine comes up as every result so if there is another method it's hard to find so I figured I would reach out and see
Should mention, I have the T-Mobile US variant of the M9 with Viper rom

Yea, and the HTC code that they use to set the security flag to OFF. That's not free. The cheapest one that you will find is over $300.
So $25 to use Sunshine is a bargain compared to $300 Those guys deserve every dime IMHO.
I think this is the card your looking for
From what I have read you really just need to be efficient in coding. Jcase only started charging for sunshine because his last two versions of sunshine cost him over $1000 each plus countless hours of his time and he only recieved one donation of $48. I don't blame him one bit and when I am ready to s-off my phone I will use the sunshine app to do so.

The Java card has to be loaded with files there is a free download for diag files to S off various HTC models including M7 and M8, unfortunately they don't include M9 on this collection of diag files so I don't believe it would work for M9 unless you can obtain the M9 specific diag files

Paul, I'm afraid that's not a correct statement. All carrier M9 models can be S-OFF'd via Java Card. Please see my reply above linking to another thread discussing this.

Seems to be a misunderstanding,
I wasn't saying that Java card couldn't be used to S off M9, merely that I couldn't see M9 diag files on the link I copied from earlier post. I wasn't referring to your link.
Fastboot writesecureflag 0
Is the command that is used when diag is booted.
There may be other methods, maybe you could explain .

My apologizes for the misunderstanding Paul. I was under the impression that you were implying that S-OFF with a Java Card wasn't possible on the M9 without the correct diag files. I was replying to that specifically.

what's wrong with the current root method? it's so easy! there are about 3 steps, if you can't follow it perhaps root is not for you.

So I must have missed the thread

How much did it cost? No one is going to remote in and root your phone for you free of charge. Whether they had you pay in actual currency, or had you install software that included malware.
I asked them
it is $39.95

You have to be insanely stupid to install that malware and give some stranger remote access to your phone and computer, AND pay $40. If anyone actually does this they deserve to have their phone taken away and given an iPhone.
Yeah and for your information I am not insanely stupid because I did not do it
I asked them about the one click root for Lg4 h815 and they told me has to be done manually for $39.95
So that's why i know the price OK?

It is fake. Currently there is NO One-Click Root method for our G4.
In all honesty though the "low effort" method is so easy and quick (less than 5 minutes, seriously it only takes a few seconds once you have all the files you need) that I do not even see the point or need in making a One Click method for it.
The one click method works but yes one needs to give them access so they do the root for you. Yes 40 bucks is steep price. I am guilty as charged for having paid the amount. I am in no way a noob. Been rooting since the g1. But this time I had to for I have a Mac and all done through a virtual machine.
