I returned to Stock recovery to get the OTAs. I am at 4.4.3. SuperSU says: There is no SU binary installed....
Firewater and Sunshine don't work. I am at S-On and Locked. I am stuck. Feels like I am half pregnant.
You can't modify the system if you are S-on. You need to be S-off for it to work.

How did you have a custom recovery if your bootloader is locked?
I think we need more details?
Sunshine usually works.
I relocked after the custom recovery. I was having the same issue. thought I could reroot.

And you should check into why Sunshine isn't working then.
For s-off anyway.
For bootloader, you may have to use HTC Dev, if Sunshine fails to work. At least you can root then. But s-off needs Sunshine.

Yes being that you're running 4.4.3 Sense 6, basically Sunshine is your only option. It's $25 , but it's very well worth it. It's literally a 1 click method for S-Off, and Unlocked Bootloader, and it checks to make sure it'll work on your device before it asks u 2 pay…

I don't have any experience with this. So if I do this and get S-Off and Unlocked Bootloader, I can then get root? Could someone maybe link me to the root method after getting S-Off?

On an unlocked or s off phone you simply fastboot flash the custom recovery of choice. After that you either flash a rooted rom or flash the latest su.zip to root your existing rom.

The only way to S-OFF is to use SunShine @ http://theroot.ninja which will cost $25 respectively.

Its not clear to me why you want s-off.
You only need stock ROM (no system files altered by root) and stock recovery to OTA. Relocking bootloader is not necessary. Its only necessary to relock bootloader to RUU (when s-on).

firewater was an online service. So it no longer works now that the developer stopped supporting it 3 months ago.
But I'm still not convinced you even need s-off. You haven't provided a valid reason that required s-off.
If you do need soff, you need to use sunshine. There is no other option to s-off.

The S-OFF it's more save to get back to locked on boot loader and with that you can get OTA UPDATE from HTC what I hope is to try flash viperM8 Rom and try it and then try sky Rom and see if I don't like them can back to stack with S-OFF
maybe I am wrong I don't know if

As I already stated above, you do not need to lock the bootloader to OTA update, and you do not need s-off to OTA update. OTA update works fine with bootloader unlocked or otherwise.
You also do not need s-off to go back to stock. Just made a nandroid (or get one from the nandroid collection here) to restore stock ROM, and restore stock recovery (also in the collection).
With s-off you can make the bootloader say LOCKED instead of RELOCKED. But warranty service is typically the only time that is desired.
Yes, s-off will give you more recovery options. Such as being able to run RUU for any CID, or "downgrade" by RUU. And it lets you do things like flash radios or modified hboots. But of the things you mentioned, its not needed.

Hi @redpoint73 can i ask you a question ?
I bought a second hand M8 and it already had S-OFF via sunshine.When i entered bootloader it says : Software status : Modified , (bootloader) UNLOCKED and S-OFF.
I asked the seller for the "unlock_code.bin" and he said that didn't have any.He said he simply ran sunshine to S-OFF.Didn't modified further.No custom recovery no root (although sunshine temp roots) no custom ROM.
So my question is this : performing S-OFF via sunshine will auto unlock your bootloader and say Software status : Modified ?

I actually did s-off back when firewater was still working, before sunshine even existed. So I can't speak from personal experience, just what I've read on these forums. I believe that the sunshine app gives you the options to temp root, s-off, and unlock the bootloader (by means that bypasses HTCDev.com). So that is probably what the previous owner did.
With s-off there isn't ever a need to relock the bootloader, and therefore no need to unlock it again with the bin code. RUUs will run with bootloader unlocked when s-off. And you can change the hboot flag to LOCKED for warranty purposes with s-off.
If for some reason you want to relock and then unlock the bootloader again, you can just go through the HTCDev.com process to get a new bin code. But its not advised. As I don't see why you would ever want to relock (for the reasons just given). And once you go through HTCDev.com, HTC will have a record of you doing so (which they do not at this time).
Thanks you have been more than helpfull!
Another question and last one :
Can i dual boot with multirom a sense 6 rom and the GPe rom?
I have the latest firmware installed so from what i read GPe roms can run without any issues.
Thanks again!

No idea, I've never used MultiROM, and not that familiar with it. Hopefully, someone who knows will chime in. Or you can post to the MultiROM thread to possibly get a quicker answer.
i returned back to stock using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/guide-return-m9-to-100-stock-s-off-t3091730
i locked the bootloader, flashed a ruu for official status and switched from s-off to s-on.
now my question:
can i switch from s-on to s-off again without unlock the bootloader, flash recovery, root and sunshine?
i ask because my device was already s-off... maybe what sunshine did is still present on the device and with a command i can easily switch to s-off again?

nope. not sure why you would do all that but you will have to unlock, root, sunshine again. just do all that again and run ruu if you want to be stock but keep soff. sunshine will not cost you anything though as long as its the same phone.

If I relock my bootloader so I can run ruu, s-on, can I use the same unlock token?

No. At least with a M8 it wasn't possible.
But you can simply generate a new one with HTCDev.

Not sure what you mean, "fastboot oem lock" relocks the bootloader which is necessary for s-on users to use a signed RUU. After that you flash the unlock token again to unlock the bootloader again.

No you do not need s-on to flash a ruu, s-off is not mandatory either. You need a ruu that matches your cid and mid, and your firmware number. Regardless being s-on !
With s-on you can't convert your cid, mid and firmware and only able to flash the device specific software.

If I relock my bootloader for warranty purposes, flash everything stock like day 1, and it says "relocked", not "locked", will my warranty be valid or ?
I'm pretty sure your warranty is valid regardless although I've heard conflicting things.

I know that at least the US Unlocked version covers unlocked bootloaders, I don't know if that extends to the other versions of the device (IMO it should, since it's all just software but...).
If it is relocked will safety net pass? And should I run the RUU exe before I relock?

You don't have to relock bootloader to be stock,but if you want - firstly run RUU. Safety net works with stock rom on relocked devices.
So if someone wants to go stock again he must use the RUU then relock device again or the opossite?
So i have the tmobile htc 10 and i had it unlocked and S-on but rooted. then i decided to s-off to change cid and install the unlocked versions firmwares. but when i used the sunshine app to get s-off it gave me the option to get s-off and Locked. so i did that one since it was recommended. and now i can flash twrp but every time i flash supersu no app shows up and keeps saying my device is not rooted. I have tried reflashing the rom through ruu and zip files and nothing. will i have to re-unlock my bootloader even though im already s-off to get root?
Think you might need to download the super SU app from the play store too.

I selected the other option (unlocked S-off) and I had to re-flash supersu. After that, it's worked fine. I don't think sunshine does anything to re-lock the bootloader, but I could be wrong.

Fixed it. Since i chose the option to s-off but locked in the sunshine app it wouldnt let me reflash the supersu. I had to unlock the bootloader again and it now works perfectly
