Hi, I've a simple question:
Can we use temproot with apps like Titanium Backup or something similar ?
Thanks in advance
Sunshine sets S-OFF. It is not needed for root. Just flash TWRP then sideload the SuperSU app and you'll have root. It'll work with Ti Backup.
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/guide-root-optionally-s-off-radio-t3373025
You don't need to run Sunshine to flash TWRP. Just download the latest and flash via ADB in download mode.
I know that Sunshine is for S-OFF, but I need to unlock with htcdev to flash TWRP , loosing the warranty
EDIT: Temproot not working on 1.90
Oh, sorry, didn't realize that was the case then. Is only the official Unlocked edition warranty covered with HTC dev? Their website is ambiguous.

I planned on converting my One M8 to a GPE edition but I couldn't gain S-Off, so now I have a phone with root access and TWPR installed. In preparation for HTCs upcoming Lollipop OTA, I would Like to bring my device back to full stock so I can install the OTA. I can't seem to find a way to do this without having S-Off. Could someone help me please?
Thanks, Nathan

Will that remove my root user permissions too?
And do I need to relock the boot loader to install OTA's?
Thanks!

sakitech didn't mention anything about losing root or relock bootloader requirements to receive OTA updates after following his video.

Oh, sorry for not being clear xD
No, I don't think you will lose root and you don't have to relock bootloader afaik.
Even so.. you can always redo the process of rooting and unlock the bootloader after OTA update.. no biggie
but if you run stock rom and recovery.. it shouldnt affect root or if ure unlocked with OTA updates
I just reverted back to stock last night with s-on. you will have to relock your bootloader (I used a tool kit, but had to boot into the bootloader myself to get the toolkit relock it) and flash a stock RUU (exe or zip). I suggest using an exe to flash if available. I have a sprint HK edition so I used an RUU exe for that model, and all worked perfectly. I was able to install the OTA update they just released with no problem after I was back to stock.
sakitech's method should work too if you want to try and keep root and the bootloader unlocked

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).
Sunshine doesn't work with Lollipop (yet) but keep checking their website for updates

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.

OK thanks... So my question is answered ?
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
I've got a HTC 10 incoming (international model/not US as far as I know), and I'm looking to root and install AdAway once I get it. This will be my first time with HTC, so I just wanted to make sure I've got everything right:
Unlock with htcdev (free, but voids warranty?) or s-off with Sunshine ($25). Does Sunshine s-off require me to unlock the phone with htcdev anyway? Which is more advisable, given I am planning on sticking with stock rom and only wanting AdAway on my device? Are there any other methods to allow flashing TWRP?
Flash TWRP
Make System Image backup with TWRP. Is this still valid when using Sunshine in step 1, or does Sunshine modify the system in some way?
Install Magisk and phh superuser.
Install AdAway
Should I return to stock recovery straight after rooting? Where would I get a compatible stock recovery?
And to install OTA's in the future:
Extract stock recovery img from OTA
Mount system as read-only in TWRP
Restore System Image backup (from original TWRP install procedure). Will this wipe apps/user data?
Fastboot flash stock recovery from step 1
Reboot and install OTA. Do I need to unroot before attempting to install OTA's?
Do I have anything wrong or is there anything I've missed? Anything I should be cautious of? Partial answers, tips, tricks, anything will be appreciated!

You don't need sunshine for what you want, bootloader unlock is fine.
Sunshine doesn't change the system. Yea always make a backup before changing anything.
No need to reinstall stock recovery after root.
For OTA you need stock image and boot and recovery. Check out one of many "how to take ota" threads for detailed instructions. Restoring system image will not wipe data.
Once you restore system image/boot you will lose root, no need to unroot any further.
