I'm running fully stock HK version of the M8. Does anyone have a confirmed way of gaining S-OFF with this model? Does sunshine work? I want to make sure that if I unlock the bootloader, and root my phone, I'll be able to gain S-OFF to get GPE. I just need confirmation on an HK variant being GPE or at least S-OFF!
Just try sunshine s-off it will tell you if it's possible or not...
I wanna make sure! I need someone to confirm if anyone has been on GPE with the Asian M8. Please reply! If so, how?
Sunshine tells you before asking for payment.
No better way to know for sure.... No? ?

ok so you haven't found a tutorial....it goes without thinking that because there is NO WAY currently to s-off
So then, is there any way to put a european ruu to an asian without S-off?
as of the moment, there is no way to s-off the One V.
Hi, im currently Rooted running ARHD 8.1.
However, i have trouble updating my software to ARHD 10.1 (to Android 4.4.3) because i lacked S-Off.
So i found a way to S-Off on which is to use firewater however it didn't work.
Is there something wrong with my ONE M8?
Is it just not supported?
Are there anyother way i could get it to S-Off?
Thank you!!!
You're either not following the steps exactly or device is not compatible with firewater. You can however still S-off with sunshine. I'm mobile otherwise I would link you to it.
firewater will not work on your device
use SunShine s-off , it will cost you 25$
Hi, I know that this is a very basic thread and it has been answered before, but I couldn't find a procedure that addresses the 3.28.401.7 software. Can someone please explain to me how to get root access on HTC m8 kitkat (4.4.4 sense 6) software 3.28.401.7 ? Thanks alot
The easy way would probably be to just use Sunshine app. It costs $25 but will do both things for you(and unlock your bootloader too I believe). The app will tell you if it can work or not before you pay for it as well.
Otherwise I would think you could unlock bootloader through htcdev, then flash twrp recovery, which will itself root your phone as part of its install process. You would still need sunshine to s-off though I'm fairly certain.

Sunshine is the only way to s-off.
Rooting is explained above perfectly. ?
I dont think sunshine will root the phone, as I have tried doing sunshine unrooted on 3.28 and it says I have to be rooted in order to actually try the app to see if it can s-off it. I havent rooted my phone and tried sunshine after that, but as i understand it can s-off even the new 3.28 base.

Sunshine is for S-Off, not to root the phone.
Have you tried VomerGuides?

Rooting, after unlocking the bootloader is simple, but OP asked about s-off also. ?
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).
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

I'm not in France :crying: I actually own an 820s, this phone does not need s-off as one is able to write every partition with SP Flash Tool without s-off or unlocking bootloader
