i am new to htc device and is rumrunner s-off method safe for m8?i dont want to use sunshine s-off
Rumrunner does not work. If you dont want to use sunshine than you won't achieve s-off.
I just acquired a used M8 and would like to unlock the bootloader without HTCdev.
I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
Which explains how to do so with S-OFF. I am willing to pay the 25$ for Sunshine, but apparently it requires root. So if I need to root, I need to register at HTCdev either way? What the use of unlocking the bootloader then if HTC already knows?

pretty sure sunshine will s-off and unlock your bootloader for you and will also set temp root whilst it works, give it a try, if it cant do it then you don't pay anyway. http://theroot.ninja/
If your phone is 2nd hand, does it have any warranty left on it, and if not, then why not just unlock via HTC dev, I did it on a brand new M8 3 months ago with 2 years warranty left on it.#, in order to flash a custom recovery, root and run sunshine, just my preferred way of doing it and only 10 mins work for the lot.
I heard sunshine is the only way? I cant use firewater?
Firewater has been discontinued due to lack of donations to keep the site running. If you are 4.x and up, you need sunshine to unlock and s-off.
Hey Guys,
On Cyanogen's website it is written that I should have S-OFF on my M8 in order to install their ROM, so it really necessary to have S-OFF?Did any of you guys try to flash one of their Roms having S-OFF?
I can't turn S-OFF because I can't download the firewater exploit file..
Thanks in regards.
You shouldn't need to be S-off just to install an alternate ROM. You do need to have an unlocked bootloader, which Sunshine does as part of its S-off task. However, you can, in many cases, get a bootloader unlock token directly from HTCdev.
Also, Firewater no longer works. Even if you could find the APK, the server it uses is gone. The only way to S-off is Sunshine, which is a paid service from the same developers.

Sunshine is the only way to s-off. Firewater was discontinued in Dec 2014.
You don't need s-off to flash CM. But you will need the current hboot (3.19). Plenty of ways to update hboot and other firmware with s-on.
I bought this second handed HTC 10.
It came with a superCID but it is in S-on state.
I knew s-off is required for superCID, so is it possible to revert back to the s-off state without Sunshine?

Maybe it is s-off but with a s-on flag, that is an option when using sunshine.
Try to write a different CID. if that fails you want to run sunshine again. If sunshine is previous bought for this device you won't be charged with the costs.

I can't change the CID nor run Sunshine without being charged again. I guess it isn't s-off with the Sunshine method initially. Thanks for the reply!

That's the only explanation indeed. Maybe xtc clip/javacard.
If you want to s-off it again i would go with sunshine, it's cheap and solid.
