I'm very unhappy about S-Off.
Mine is M8y with CID HTC__622 (Hong Kong) - comes with 1.60.708.2 (Unable to S-Off with Firewater).
And my VISA and Master Cards (from Myanmar) are not accepted during in-app purchase of Sunshine, too.
So, I'm googling every info for S-Off...
Is it possible to downgrade with S-On like in this page:
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7496959-1-1.html
I don't know Chinese and Google Translated results are hard to be understood
Please, help me...
I would not follow instructions I cannot understand or were translated by Google.....
Can't you use PayPal to pay for Sunshine?
Neither can I link my cards to PayPal, too
OMG
That works for Downgrade with S-ON
Now from 1.60.708.x to 1.54.708.5.
Now unlocking BL.
Will let u know Firewater works or not
OMG
Chugging . . .
Then what ?

I successfully downgraded my htc one m8 with s-on as firewater doesn't work for me, however I'm from Europe.
Sent from HTC One m8, or maybe not anymore

You can't downgrade the firmware with s-on....no way. You can only "downgrade" the software and leave the firmware intact !
Like a 1.54 official is going back to a 1.12 software but the hboot (total firmware) never change.

Did I say something about downgrading firmware?
Yes, I've downgraded software only and then using OTA upgraded to newest 4.4.3 (can't remember the build).

I have rooted my M8 but it is still locked to vodafone (uk). What I want to do is get the phone to update with the latest android 4.4.3. (UK)
I have tried to get S-off using Firewater but did not work for me (like I see for a few others). In order to remove branding and have an unlocked (stock) HTC do I need to pay for S-off via sunshine or am I going about this incorrectly?
thanks for any help

Just got my M7 back form HTC for warranty repair. Phone was sent with to HTC with S-off but arrived with S-on and Hboot 1.57
I am a bit confused on what I need to do as things have changed since I first S-off using rumrunner and weaksauce.
Other then sunshine, Is there a way to root the phone in it's present state? Can I unlock the bootloader with HTdev?
Thanks

With hBoot 1.57, Sunshine is your only option. Works easy.

So we can't even root the M7 on hBoot 1.57 unless we use sunshine first?
I assume we can't flash and older version as well.

Yes to both: it can be rooted and rommed just after you finish Sunshine.
And you're correct about you can't go back.
Once you've got S-0ff, you can go backwards and forwards with radios and hboots.
Hello.
So I have a One M8 with a 3.19 HBOOT and I want to S-OFF this device. Firewater seems to be broken on this firmware and I'm not paying $25 for Sunshine. So my question is, is it possible for me to flash an older version of HBOOT onto the device? The device is an unlocked European one (both carrier and bootloader unlocked) with HTC_032 CID running CyanogenMod 12, but I can go back to stock if I need to. Thanks.

Oh, that sucks. Is it still possible to downgrade HBOOT? I've heard that Sunshine doesn't work on all 3.xx devices right now.

not without s-off if you run sunshine, it will do some checks and let you know if it will work or not before you have to purchase, so, try and run it and see what happens. for $25.00 it is worth doing

No. You cannot "downgrade" hboot with s-on.
If you could, then everyone would be doing it (that is stuck with s-on) and there wouldn't really be an "issue" with 3.x devices.
As previously mentioned, try sunshine and see if your device is supported (you won't be charged if not).
Hi guys,
I've just got S-OFF my HTC with new Sunshine version!
It's paid option for $25.
I just want you to know that it's 100% compatible
with our devices ?

If there was a working Google Play Edition ROM for the desire Eye you could....
S-OFF allows you to flash all NAND chips, so you can flash custom firmware & radio, even if they're not signed by HTC (with S-ON you can only flash HTC signed images).
S-OFF also allows you to change your CID and MID using fastboot commands, so you can flash firmware & kernels menat for other regions.
sir can we restore to s-on after making s-off? to get ota further?

I believe it should work. I have an O2 device and it worked just fine after the lollipop update.
I haven't seen a thread in this phone section where it shows how to s-off an htc desire 820u (qualcomm) without using an xtc2clip.
May I ask, is there an option to s-off a phone without using a gold card/xtc2clip?
If not, can you give me a way to s-off my phone?
Is it possible to create a gold card to s-off my phone?
I need s-off for my phone since I need to upgrade to lollipop and I have modified my OS without doing backups.
Unfortunaly, for my device which I think is 0PFJDIAG (it is the zip that is searched by hboot) or 0PFJ120(the model number that is written on the back of my phone), there is no available stock kitkat ruu. But if you do have one, please tell me where I can download it.
i don't think there is a way to s-off without xtc2clip
and for the kitkat ruu
i have an d820u and it came ithink with Chinese or Taiwanese software and i used the Indian ruu and worked for me (but mine came already s-off) this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-820/development/ruu-stock-fw-desire-820u-dual-sim-t3217030
i don't know if you can do it while s-on
but why you don't get s-off with xtc2clip it costed me about 15$ in a local mobile repair shop
Hey man, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I've gone to the phone unlocking shops that are near to my place but there is no single person who has an xtc2clip there. Maybe I'll just wait for a software s-off for me to be able to upgrade my phone
Anyone here from the Philippines who know a shop where I can s-off my phone?

Sunshine S-OFF can work in almost all HTC Devices and it is Software only but it will cost you 25$.
Which RUU are you looking for anyway, or can you post a photo of your bootloader, I might help with with that

Sunshine does't support Htc desire 820 yet, the only way to S-off is xtc2clip
