I am finally ready to sunshine s off. I have a rooted M8, running twrp boot loader. What do I have to do to obtain s off via sunshine? I kind of remember you must have a stock boot loader. I do not want to loose anything on my phone or it to be reset, or will running sunshine whipe my phone?
Thanks for any advice.

normally these kind of questions would go into the Q&A section. First you would need to install superSU from the playstore. Second you'll need the firewater file plus ADB ready. Third there should be a youtube video showing the steps on how to get S-OFF. Fourth congrats on being S-OFF. Nothing will get erased to my memory but backup in case.
You must not confuse terms like stock bootloader and such
You need :
Stock rooted rom
Stock kernel
Stock recovery
Your bootloader is always "stock" there is no twrp bootloader. TWRP is a recovery. And sunshine comes as an application.
And please do not use videos that are often out of date (or will be soon) just follow the procedures on the sunshine developers website !!!

If its important to you, back it up. This should be a rule under any circumstance, much more so when modding the phone.
I have achieved s off , however I am unable to install any custom roms. All I get is successful install then back to recovery. I have a nandroid backup saved, so I can go right back. I also tried updating this stock Rom and it won't let me, just says it installs then phone restarts and nothing has changed. What anni doing wrong?

OTA's need stock recovery, so i would guess that is your problem with updates, what error did you get when you tried.
also what error do you get in TWRP when you try to flash a custom rom, also which rom are you trying to install.
follow the guides around here and there should be no problem at all.

For issues with ROMs not flashing correctly, fastboot erase cache and install recovery again (make sure its the latest version) will often fix it.
Also, make sure its a ROM that supports Sprint, as there are many that do not.

Hey all,
My girlfriend lives in Russia and she been having a ton of issues with her phone.
I guided her thru the phone unlocking bootloader and installing a recovery but she refused to continue my lesson over the phone on helping her install a new rom. So we just left it were it was and this was months ago.
I don't think she has super user access and all I really know is she has CWM installed. She has a system update, but when she tries to install it just goes to CWM. I am not sure what is wrong with her phone, but even after a factory reset, it is slow and things get buggy all the time and lately is been getting worse so I wanted to continue this process of installing a new ROM.
My question is how do I make sure she has bootloader really unlocked, s-off and if its rooted.
I want to continue helping her install a rom but without her being here, I am scared to proceed further without asking the community some questions.

Go to bootloader then see the top. If it says unlocked, well it is. But if you have cwm, 99% the bootloader IS unlocked. (Unless you didn't relock it again). To see if she is rooted, go to the app drswr and search for anything like superuser or superSU. Hope this helped

She does have super user or superSU in the app drawer, but when she tries to use an app that requires root. It is not allowed nor does it ask permission in superSU.
Thanks!
If she has CWM recovery installed, ask her to install the SuperSU from here:

Flash the CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip in recovery.

A system update will not proceed with a CWM installed. The OTA update works on a clean Stock ROM only.
There is a new CWM recovery version 6. According to the changelog it should support official OTA update of stock ROM
So she has CWM installed and I wanted to install a new rom, but when I press VOL down + power key it just boots into CWM.
How can I get into fastboot or does this mean I do not have bootloader unlocked?

Hello all,
Sorry if this question has an obvious answer. But I am trying to make sure that I don't lose S-Off before applying the 4.3 update for the HTC One. Since I know as of this post that rumrunner does not work on 4.3 builds yet and so I would really rather not be in that kind of situation.
I want to apply the OTA to make sure I get all the stock radio/binary/fimrware updates installed before I flash a custom 4.4.2 ROM. Since last time I tried that, I was unable to get any kind of data connection and was only able to use Wi-Fi. I want to make sure I have all the needed radios before I apply KitKat again.
So the question being, does applying any OTA break S-off? I am in a strange state with my HTC one right now where I am having a difficult time getting to the bootloader. I will try again when I get home by using adb but right now it's not working.
Thanks ahead of time.
It should not break S-off. To the best of my knowledge only relocking it yourself is about the only way to reset a phone to S-on.

So I would just need to apply the update, then re-unlock the bootloader since it's already s-off. After that, flash custom recovery and flash KitKat and be on my way?
You could just get the firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319 in post #2. Then you would not have to worry about losing anything.

I tried that and I was still not getting data on just the radio. So I tried the other zip and I just ended up in a bad state. I think I might have grabbed the wrong version potentially. I'll try again later at home.

If you are already s-off with an unlocked bootloader you can take the OTA and not lose either. You'll just have to flash TWRP or CWM in fastboot and then the su binary in recovery to get root again.

The hosed data thing is fixed with a factory reset from the stock recovery.

I was able to resolve this issue.
For anyone looking at this in the future or having the same issue:
I was able to get bootloader to properly load after holding the power button + vol down for a while. My lights started blinking (home and back) but I just kept holding the buttons. Eventually it finally loaded the bootloader.
Went into fastboot from bootloader and then flashed twrp recovery. Grabbed the firmware zip from the post where all the stock files are available and flashed that properly using the steps in the post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319).
Once I flashed that, I went back into recovery, did a clean wipe on everything but sd-card/internal data.
Flashed my new rom after that (twrp requires a reboot after a wipe to properly flash for KitKat at this time).
Everything was smooth sailing after that and I have 4G data now thanks to the new radios/firmware.
hello, i need to verify something with you guys.
Currently i'm using an HTC One M8 rooted and running on a stock rom, and TWRP as a recovery, can i still have OTA updates in my phone even if I'm on root and TWRP as a recovery. also one thing how can go remove TWRP recovery or revert to HTC recovery

1. Download the stock recovery for your device from the recovery thread
2. Flash it through fastboot (as you did TWRP)
3. Apply the OTA
4. Reflash TWRP
5. Re-root the phone

Remember (as said a million times already in multiple threads) - to flash an OTA you CANNOT have changed anything in the original system (fonts, Xposed mods, removing system apps, ANYTHING) otherwise the OTA WILL FAIL
i've browse mr.hofs thread and i've seen lots of stock recoveries. I don't know which stock recovery will I use.
I tried to match it using my software number 1.54.707.7 but there is none. or should i just try the closer to that version?

Yes, that has been mentioned quite a few times in various threads..However one question that pops up now is:
Lets says I did make changes to the system files by removing a system app or using xposed mods (but not flashing any custom roms). But these changes were made AFTER taking a backup of (unchanged) stock recovery. Will OTA still fail if i now flash stock recovery and then ota update? I am guessing it should work as i am bringing the phone back to stock status.
Also what if i do not flash any custom recovery, I just boot into it to take a backup and remain in stock rom. In that case, for an OTA update, do i still need to first flash stock recovery if I have not made changes to sys files?
Finally when you say OTA fail, does that mean there is a chance I will brick/soft brick my phone?or is it just an error message. I ask because in case i make changes to sys and then forget about it or do not realise its consequence for an OTA update, its better I know now what I am getting into.

The OTA requires a 100% stock running Android build, so if you have removed any system apps it will just fail and reboot to the ROM you're running at the moment (so you should be safe). Basically, if the /system partition on the phone is ANY way different from how it was when you first bought it the OTA will fail
For example, other than S-OFF my phone is exactly how I received it, therefore the new OTA update installed successfully. If I had removed one system app (e.g. Hangouts), it would fail as it's looking for it and if it can't find it it'll just reboot
i still have my S-OFF here in my HTC, and i haven't removed any system apps. i'll try this later this week.
i just needed my root because of setCPU nothing else.
--- anyway, since we're all learning here.
we'll for example, OTA has been updated and all goes well. now that i have to reflash my recovery to TWRP.
big question again, how do i save my stock recovery using TWRP?

If you're now on 1.54.401.10, you can manually extract it from the firmware package I uploaded HERE
I installed the OTA yesterday and had a different experience. I am with the stock rooted ROM, but I installed Xposed with some modules and the swipe to sleep and no write protection kernel modules. Also, unlocking the bootloader also ate my calculator and torch apps, and I reinstalled them as user apps instead of system apps.
Well, after flashing the stock recovery, the OTA worked like a charm. I applied it manually from the stock recovery, but I don't think this makes a difference. I had to re-root afterwards, but all the rest was preserved.
I am S-OFF though. Is that the reason why it bypassed some security checks?

I can see the apps that were removed during unlocking still working if installed as user apps as they're still on the /data partition. If they weren't there at all then it'd probably fail. Surprised that it worked with Xposed installed, but that's also a user app so it could very well work - logically it makes sense.
As a rule of thumb I'd only apply an OTA on a 100% stock system, that way you know it'll all be fine
I'm trying to get a completely stock experience on my phone. I want to update it to the latest version but cannot because it is rooted, bootloader is unlocked, and a custom recovery is installed.

You need to nandroid restore back to pure stock WITH root added and no apps removed.
Then you need to remove root from the settings in the SuperSU app.
Then go to the bootloader, flash the stock recovery.
Then back to the bootloader and relock it.
Now factory restore from bootloader or settings while you have the stock recovery, relocked bootloader and root removed.
Now you can update via HTC or system update.

Ok. So i did everything you said except whenever I try to factory reset, it flashes a screen that says entering recovery but then immediately goes back into bootloader. Is this because I have the incorrect recovery or a different problem.

Root by unlocking the bootloader via HTCDev.com and then just install custom recovery and flash current (2.56) SuperSU zip.
One click root solutions won't work with a locked bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader is really the key.
Once rooted, you can OTA. But you need to have stock ROM (nothing altered in /system partition) and you need to re-install stock recovery. Root is okay (although you will likely lose root) and unlocked bootloader is okay to OTA. To root again after an OTA, just install custom recovery and flash SuperSU again.
Thanks a lot. I will unlock the bootloader and can you link me to a good tutorial or guide on how to install custom recovery and supersu?

That's true, you can boot TWRP remotely with fastboot, without actually flashing it (installing to the phone).
Although its slightly irrelevant; you can always flash back to stock recovery back to the phone (over-write TWRP). You can either find your stock recovery posted in the collection; or back it up your self using the fastboot TWRP trick (fastboot boot TWRP, and use TWRP to backup stock recovery). In that instance, the fastboot boot TWRP trick is very useful.
Having TWRP installed after root is very useful. Reason being, it gives you a lot more recovery options if things go south. And also, for a lot of mods done under root, you will want to backup your stock setup anyway (just in case the mod goes wrong, and you need to revert). Stock recovery is close to useless for anything but installing OTA updates.
