Is there any way to unlock the boot loader without HTC dev? Or gain s off before unlocking the boot loader because I know it can be done once s off is gained. Fire water worked on my last T-Mobile HTC one m8. Also does sunshine s off work on the new T-Mobile 2.22 update? Thanks

Yes Sunshine works on all updates currently, all though according to someone else somewhere it may be patched soon. Either way for now it works on all firmware. Sunshine will root your phone then unlock the bootloader and S-OFF your phone.

I watched a video on YouTube that said a person needs to unlock their boot loader first. Then do the sunshine s off. So you're saying it does all of this by itself? If so then it's definitely worth the 25 bucks because I've never seen an app do all of this myself although I've only been modding for 3.5 years.

Yes the M8 I am currently using was not rooted, unlocked or S-OFF when I got it and I used Sunshine and it rooted my phone and unlocked/S-OFF'd it all at once. Maybe the video you watched was for an older HTC phone before things were as simple, either way Sunshine does it all and is well worth the $25 if you want to mod things.
Lastly don't degrade yourself because you've only been modding for 3.5 years, to me that is quite an achievement that I wish I personally had. I've only really been interested in phones since my S4. Ever since then I've been addicted to modding my phone to the fullest.

I can't get T-Mobile service where I live sadly so I'm a Verizon user. Though if you're asking that because you're wondering if it only works on Verizon models then no, it works on all variants. It says so on the official thread also if that makes you any less worried.
SunShine has been updated and no longer needs your device to be rooted or unlocked before running. SunShine will gain root itself, and unlock/s-off every variant of the m8 currently. Cheers!

I have a Verizon HTC One that I purchased on the device payment plan. I have searched here and you tube to see if I can unlock the bootloader to install custom roms. I know it has the old bootloader version of 1.54. Any help will be great before my return Window closes.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
No hope of boot loader unlock on that firmware currently. Only option is send to sonic for s-off. Or change carriers to att or someone else and get a one from them, I returned my Verizon one and did just that and couldn't be happier.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Verizon has blocked the bootloader from being unlocked via HTCDev. Currently, the ONLY way to unlock is to send it to Sonic. Visit this thread:

So you are against sending it out to get s-off'd by sonic? That's a permanent root for you...
If not, do some research before you purchase a new $600 device. If root is a MUST for you please take time to make sure a new phone will fit your needs in this matter before you waste their time with return of an otherwise GOOD product.
I apologize if this sounds snarky.... that's not my intent.

If you kept your old phone, reactivate that one, send your One to Sonic to get S-Off (for a very reasonable fee... the java cards are expensive!), then when you get it back, reactivate the one. Done and done!

more development will be on the htc one maxx than this phone (unfortunately HTC kinda did again - what they did with the HTC Inc4g I just hope this community actually stays and doesn't leave), not saying that it will get S-OFF faster, but it will have more of a community than us, which = more bounty money = more developers working on exploits. Personally I can't use a phone bigger than 5' large. Again, this is just an opinion from word around the water coolers.

Why don't you just try? It's not like they'll call the cops on you; the worst they can do is refuse the return. It's also very unlikely that the associates know how to get into the bootloader in the first place, so it probably won't even come up.

You just have to look for a basic stock rom and flash that. As long as looks like basic stock, the reps in the store won't notice (or look for) evidence that it's rooted. Carriers (especially T-Mobile and Sprint) generally don't care.

I dont think that would happen, I have returned a few mytouch phones way back when after having custom roms and nothing has happened. That was many years ago tho and I am not sure if HTC has changed any policies on that since then.
I just went in to tmobile just to figure out if they had any in stock., spoke with a salesman about the restock fee...and he said there is no voiding it unless, they run a diagnosis on the phone but it's unlocked and tampered...should I take the chance and tell them to run it?

if its a hard ware issue the soff wont cause an issue.
The APK name Sunshine and work perfectly. I use in my HTC M8 from T-Mobile. (Important) Use in a Stock (original rom only)
Search in google i can't post url : Sunshine S-OFF, by theroot ninja
fyi to other readers, it's a paid ($25) app. you can try to find an apk yourself, but if firewater is still valid, then just run that. works on most variants.
What is "soff"?

Here is the link its a lil crazy to charge 25 bucks for this though i didnt do it i can live with s-on for now

Why do I want "S" to be off?
s-on and s-off are lock states, you want s-off to change your bootloader etc.

Only on the same device its 25 per device so if you get an insurance claim and get a new phone you have to buy it again

While i agree with you, they seem to be the only ones who found how to soff so they can charge what they want... Hopefully someone else figures out how to do it and charges less as it is too steep for me (i would only use it to remove the red text which is not worth 25 buck for me)

I think you have a bad unit or get horrible reception(I lean more towards bad unit, it happens). I have 3 users with the VZW M9 in Long Island NY and all 3 of them get great battery life. In fact 2 of them are definitely power users and they only rave about it.
