Compared to the at&t M8 I bought my sister I was able to at least use sunshine app for gaining s-off and then finally proceeding to perform the full conversion to the latest 5.0.1 lollipop gpe rom. My case was different, sunshine wouldn't work, and I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the fact that I followed the HTC One M7 guide to gaining s-off here :
How to Gain S-OFF on your HTC One (All Models): http://youtu.be/NeFwsqU4YL4
I quickly realized the error and then tried the m8 version of the guide from the same person, and then sunshine just as on my sisters att m8, but then got the message saying it won't work on mine... I then realized I couldn't meet the requirements to perform the full GPE conversion without s-off as required in this guide: How to Convert HTC One M8 to Google Play Edition …: http://youtu.be/WEouT7eV8UA
Thereafter I remembered that this lollipop rom by sky dragon didn't require s-off to flash it.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706391
I flashed the lollipop rom and everything works fine for the most part, but I have some differences in comparison to my sister's phone with s-off which I also flashed with this sky dragon rom
First off I don't get the Google logo when booting up, I still get the green HTC logo with the white background and it says at the bottom in red something about how this build is for development purposes only and not to be distributed..
Second and maybe the last grippe.. I always notice after waking my phone that the WiFi seems to have deactivated but immediately reappears within 1-3 seconds..
I think that's all for now. If anyone can help me with these two issues I'd appreciate it. Is this all happening because of no s-off? Or maybe because I initially followed the m7 guide for s-off? Or maybe something else entirely?? My sisters phone was att and mine was just unlocked or unbranded... No carrier logos on back. Brand new and sealed too.

Sunshine is made by the creators of most all the roots on android, they are selling it for $20 because his work takes a lot of time. I would do it in a heartbeat with the respect for (specifically) jcase.
It will s-off your phone.. I'm almost certain of it.

Correct.. I did the same with my sisters att version... But with hers I didnt make the mistake of following the s-off guide for the m7..

Wow sorry you had to deal with all that ...basically what your missing is the firmware and without s-off theirs not alot you can do about that. The black bootloader screen is the GPe hboot and the bootup animation you may be able to change. check the apps and themes section

according to the firewater page it has something to do with the Emmc chip used in the device
HTC is "updating eMMC firmware in eMMC controllers that were “known-working” so firewater and Sunshine fail

if your phone is rooted it will be rooted till you'll unroot it...
Well, I think he wants to know, on what date his device got root.
As I don't have a rooted device here, I can only have a guess: maybe the superuser.apk has some dates in its properties (date of edit etc)?!

Official but we could get an unofficial as well like in almost every other device
Can't wait for this! As much as I love the GPE edition there are plenty of features I miss from CM11 on my M7.
Just thought I'd let everyone know that the HTC website states that the T-Mobile lollipop update is finally in the certification stage. What does that mean? It means we could very well be seeing the update on our phones very soon. Sprint is said to be releasing their update today and it also has them listed as being in the certification stage. This is more than likely good news for T-Mobile users as well. I suspect we should be the second major US carrier to get the update. Unless Verizon and AT&T randomly decided to up their update game.

hi, i see that your happy about the sunshineapp, i use it and pay for it to unlock the bootloader on my htc desire 612 but i dunno if i skip some steps, i want to use it on global gsm and when i insert a non verizon sim card it just says that the sim card is not from verizon. Thats it...
Any help to get it gsm unlocked?
To the Moderators: I didnt know where to post this because there doesnt seem to be a place for 612.
Thanks goes to cmvienneau for this.
1. I had to buy a sunshine one event licence to unlock the bootloader.
Verizon wont allow this device tobe unlocked at htc dev!
2. I used Windroid universal tool kit to flash recovery and root.

I agree I think this phone is eventually going to be washed out with the tide and forgotten about too many people steer away from verizonfor one thing I don't know I could be wrong. Verizon did get rid of their contracts but they jacked the prices of their phones. I saw this phone over at Verizon and this phone went from 150 close to 200 in there store.
