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

It give us unlimited permission to modify the system partition etc. changing Boot screen etc.
There is a detailed thread that's right at top of the general forum that covers this in depth.

It also allows direct access to all partitions on the phone so we can learn a lot more about it. Will be able to flash boot.img via recovery with the rom (no need for fastboot flash), we can flash modified hboot/bootloader if we wish to as well. Plenty of possibilities.
None of this is possible with s-on, even if you are htcdev unlocked.

What version of Android is it running and what steps have you done to reach this point?
It sounds like all you need is the s-off tool found on Unrevoked's website but I'll see what you say first.

What hboot version are you on? You need to flash the misc img first to allow the downgrade to 2.2 You keep getting the too new error because hboot wont normally allow a downgrade. But flashing the misc image tricks hboot into thinking its on 2.2, allowing you to reflash 2.2
I tried flashing the misc. Image zip. It said failed.

Flash it in recovery correct. The hbott version is 1.2.0000. Does anyone have a link to that misc. Image zip? Maybe i got the wrong zip.

Have a look at the op of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506258, start at step 28. Hboot should be htcdev unlocked first if its not already.
Ok ya thats another thing. I tried htcdev unlock it wont go. Get stuck just b4 the unlock token part. I will look @ this link though thanks for the help. Ill b back to update my proggress.

S-on means security on and S-off means security off. Your bootloader is unlocked if your S-off

If your still s-off , can't you just reflash a superuser package? If your not, have you tried tacoroot method ?

I'm pretty sure there are threads already posted about achieving s-off on already rooted devices. Check around.

If you are HTC Dev unlocked then you need to use the instructions to get s-off for dev unlocked. If all else fails use a different computer.

how to s off htc one m8 4.4.4 xda
thanks people
i wanna change my phone to google play edition btw
search firewater and sunshine. given you're on 4.4.4 firewater would be less likely to work so sunshine would be your only option
Better chance with Sunshine
And sunshine might not work unless its a gpe m8
I thought sunshine only worked with sense roms and not gpe. I s off my 4.4.4 sense device with sunshine last week.

How did your achieve that? Did you unlock the boot loader with HTC dev first? It won't work on my T-Mobile US version on 4.4.4. Thanks

Did you have custom recovery installed or did you have stock recovery?

for sunshine it doesn't matter, as it does not use recovery, all you have to do is install the apk, run it, let it do tests, and if it asks you to pay, your good to go.
