Hello Everyone,
I have been trying for days to unlock the bootloader on my Verizon Htc One M9 and have been coming up with the same result. When trying to run the command fastboot oem get_identifier_token, all I get is...
...
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] oem unlock Turn Off!
OKAY [ 0.095s]
finished. total time: 0.099s
I know that this has something to do with Factory Reset Protection and have removed all of my passwords but still am running into this problem. I have tried many different versions of adb and fastboot but still the same result.
Any suggestions would be amazing. Also, I have tried everything I could find on xda and nothing has worked. If you have unlocked the bootloader on you m9 VERIZON, please tell me how.
I do not have the oem unlocking tick box in dev. options, usb debugging is on and fastboot detects is correctly, I have tried using different usb ports, I have tried the command in both download mode and bootloader mode(just to see if it would work), and have tried other fastboot commands to confirm that fastboot is working.
Thank you
-Jack
Sunshine is the only way on Verizon I know of. They've (VZ) removed the unlock option from the menus. Good luck

Thanks, I tried to start sunshine but I don't have root on my phone so it won't run. Do you have any suggestions on a way to root so I can run this?

Is there anywhere with specific instructions on how to root with a locked bootloader? The thread you mentioned did not say how to root, just to roll back my software version.
That's what you have to do. You need to roll back to .7 firmware & then you can use sunshine. I haven't found anything that shows a way outside of sunshine & they don't support firmware above .7. There is a guide on temp root somewhere on the googles...but I don't remember where. Basically you install some specific su app in system/temp. I assume that's what sunshine was doing&one of the VZ updates closed this exploit.

You might be able to use adb push su binaries to system...but I haven't tried & would guess if it were that easy that would be the main root thread😉..if you rollback & sunshine it will work...I'm on a VZ m9 s-off & unlocked with sunshine after I accidentally took .15 update😱

Do you think that I could try to do adb sideload root.zip? I am a complete n00b with rooting and unlocking bootloaders. It sucks that sunshine is the only application that will unlock and s-off the M9. They had to make it paid but it is what it is. I don't wanna f*ck up my phone when doing this so really need some advice. Thanks for all of your help so far!

No, you cannot adb sideload a root.zip (you are free to try of coarse, but it's not something I am suggesting). I wish it were that simple. But there would be a thread to help guide you if that was an option.
All the advice is right here, also.
There are 2 methods to get root, both include turning the security flag off (S-OFF), and at a cost.
Thanks to Verizon we cannot simply unlock the bootloader with an unlock token at htcdev to achieve root.
Thankfully, however, we do have options.
Sunshine is the suggested and easiest method (and cheapest most likely). $25 is well worth the freedom, but everyone's situation is not the same.
The other is to ship out the device (cost of shipping to and from adds up), plus a "donation" to the person whom you send your device to. They cannot charge here on XDA, so the "donation" is optional obviously, however the Java Cards and XTC Clips aren't cheap, nor is the persons time.

I want to use sunshine but it requires root to run. I ideally don't want to roll back my software version. I really don't want to ship out my phone. Any way to root Easily?

Rolling back is as simple as flashing the RUU that's been kindly included here on XDA. Then you can just download Sunshine .apk and get S-OFF. You then are permanently unlocked and can flash a ROM with root included or simply flash the SuperSU .zip in TWRP. That to me = easy. I had to ship out my device for S-OFF. You're in luck with options. If you don't want to send it out your options have been repeatedly laid out for you. Not sure why you are asking again about an easy way to root. The answer is yes, easy = Sunshine.
These are the options:
1) Downgrade, Sunshine
2) Ship out to Java Card/XTC2 Clip user
Sunshine doesn't require root. It temproots your device to complete the process. That's why you need to downgrade using RUU.. The version you're on right now can't be temprooted which is why you need to downgrade (luckily you can). Once you are S-OFF, you simply run the latest RUU, or the firmware and then a ROM. Easy pezy.
Hope I was of some use, best of luck my friend.

I have been reading a lot of threads regarding S-Off and how to achieve this with temp root. With my previous HTC devices i have always gone through HTC DEV to unlock bootloader in order to root.
With the exploit for S-Off and the fact that this can be achieved using temp root, does this mean that you no longer have to go through HTC Dev to get the unlock file? in order to root the phone. From what i have seen, i believe the answer is yes, however i would appreciate clarification.
Once S-off'd is there any way to return the device to S-on for warranty purposes, or is it a one way ticket.

The temp root only works on certain devices, if, like me, your in the UK, then you will still need to HTC dev your device 1st to get root, and then you can attempt S-Off.
You can S-ON but there is some warning in doing so, but if i need to return mine, i will just leave it as is and deny all knowledge of s-off
Please also note, that not all device can have S-Off too even if you are full rooted. Personally I am full rooted but unfortunately at this stage I am not lucky enough to have the S-OFF..
I'm also very confused...
I can't find any guides here like for sanding Samsung for example, this is my first HTC device and I have no idea what methods I have.
Does unlocking the htcdev way void warranty or why would you prefer the other meth?

There has been many threads about this over the years, particularly with the HTC ONE X which was the first device you had to HTCDEV unlock and never obtained s-off. UK law does not allow HTC to simply say your warranty is void because you root because if the screen fails this could not be as a result of rooting. To get round this HTC allow you to obtain root and I would assume that if there is any reason to believe that the device failed as a result of flashing, your warranty MAY not be honoured.
I have heard that in most cases they will honour the warranty unless you are careless.

There are two methods you can try. First is the firewater and temproot method links below. This method only works with some devices and is worth a try before you attempt to dev unlock.
The second method is to unlock the bootloader via HTCDEV, goto the site register and follow the instructions, then use a toolkit to install your root and recovery. After this if you choose to try s-off which only works with some devices you can try the firewater method without temproot as you already have root.
Hope this helps

That's the stock recovery. Nothing to worry about
You'll need to do "adb reboot bootloader" hit fastboot, then type the fastboot code it tells you, copy and paste what it tells you from the cmd prompt and follow the rest of the instructions

No offense against the guys that write these toolkits to make it "easier" but, stay away from it if you can, you don't really learn anything by using these toolkits.
That said,
Try and unlock the bootloader manually, as shown once when you sign up to htcdev.com and follow their instructions to get bootloader unlocked. OR
You can go for Sunshine S-OFF ($25) it roots, unlocks bootloader and gives S-OFF all-in-one.

It technically only temp-roots. You still have to fully root using a custom recovery or adb push. However, once the bootloader is unlocked, that is fairly simple.
I would actually suggest that as an upgrade, though. It would be nice if, at the tail end of the process, Sunshine would offer to permanently root the phone.
Hi.
Now I unlocked the bootloader manually and installed twrp as custom recovery. After this I installed SuperSU over twrp to get root.
*//
All works fine, but I have a little problem.
Now i cant take screenshots. If I try, I get the message that no screenshot can be taken because the app can´t save them.
Does anyone have some ideas how I can fix it?
//*
Fixed "Created a folder called screenshot1 and delete the other screenshot folder. Once it is deleted remove the "1" so it still only Screenshot."
Additionally, I want to make the SD-Card writeable for all apps, has someone a link to tutorial?
Can some1 pls send me mediafire or whatever custom link of Firewater because the site is down and i don't have it on my laptop?

firewater is discontinued, even if you have the file it wont work, cause it need's to contact the devs' server, and it was not very reliable on the M8 anyway

Spend the $25. It will save you from a lot of headaches.
Without it, whenever you need to update your firmware, you will have to flash a stock backup, flash a stock recovery, take the OTAs from your carrier, re-unlock your bootloader, flash a custom recovery, and flash superuser to reroot.
With S-Off, you just flash the firmware and you are done.

I thought the bootloader gets locked when you take the OTA. But I wouldn't know personally. I haven't ever taken an OTA before. Never needed to on any device.

You must work for Sunshine team because i was looking around for a straight answer which push me to get S-OFF. I consider S-OFF just because Adaway and how much i hate ads, it's just annoying and my phone feels cheap with all of them; so i wish that once i get Sunshine and get S-OFF, it could work.
Just a question before pulling: I have the Malasyan or sorta version of the M8, the M8X running lollipop with bootloader unlocked and rooted, would Sunshine works?

It was a straight answer. Firewater doesn't work anymore, because HTC patched all of the exploits. And no, I don't work with Sunshine. It's just that it is the ONLY way to gain S-Off now. I actually used Firewater back when the M8 was just released and out for maybe a month, and before the exploits were patched.
I'm not sure if it will work for device or not. When you run it, it does a diagnostic check of your phone first, and you are only prompted to pay if it will work for you.

You still got to unlock the bootloader as well as root to be able to use SunShine depending on FW and ROM version. After this you could de-brand the device e.g. by following my guide linked in my signature below.

I'm still on MM, so I don't really know much about Nougat, but, as I said before - download Sunshine app and run it. It will do all verifying steps for you, and if your phone is compatible, you're good to go. If not, no harm, no foul. Uninstall the app, and that's it. No payment is required untill your phone is verified as compatible
I concur. I installed Sunshine last week on my stock MM HTC 10, no need to unlock or to root before that. It worked just fine, now I'm S-off and still locked.
+1 on what was said about sunshine
If your on nougat make sure you use the latest TWRP here
As for root you can use either Magisk or just flash the latest SuperSU here

Yes. Why you would do that seems strange though. You just need to get your hooks on the ruu.exe for your phone and run it. Your phone will be returned to the sorry, pathetically uncustomizable, stock rom.
For my device, Viper10 3.5.0 MM rom is as good as it gets. Nothing better. Not impressed with Nougat nor the CM based roms that are perpetually in an "Unofficial" state.

SuperCID allows you to flash every kind of RUU made for the HTC 10, although there may still be reasons you wouldn't want to flash some of them versus some others. You might have to change your MID too.

Sunshine says it's not compatible with magisk installed do I uninstall it.
Hello,
I'm currently trying to find out how to install a rom matching to my region. I understand that I need S-OFF for that.
Sadly, I cannot find out how to make s-off. All I hear, even in those threads here, is advertisement for an app where you actually pay for a developer functionality (Sunshine). I also tried rumrunner, but that didnt work either.
It was rumrunner 0.5 on my M9 with Version 4.30.617.2. My current cid is: BS_US002
There is no other way to S-OFF your phone unless Sunshine.
I had to do it too.
Yeah it cost money but its really easy.
As stated, no way. You have 3 options, all will cost.
1. Sunshine app.
2. XTClip. (I think thats the name?).
3. Take it to a phone repair shop.
Otherwise, no free way. Sunshine app is worth paying for as it walks you through the process. If you have any problems they (the devs) will help you sort it out. Your money goes to paying staff for the hard work they do finding exploits to give us, the common everyday users, a little bit of freedom from these ever increasingly over-zealous corporations who will do anything to put us in a box and feed us crumbs so we do what they want so they can monitise us.
Beamed in by telepathy.
Like in many, many other threads, YOU CANNOT get sunshine for free. To be honest it even isn't that expensive. It is worth it as the app is so simple. The devs that created it have bricked a lot of m9's in the process of getting s-off for us.
Anyway, u still can't use sunshine on nougat. Use this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...one-m9-nougat-downgrade-s-off-t3554665/page2)
to help u to downgrade to marshmallow and run sunshine.
Hope this helps,

I don't know where you got that information from. C.f.: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q8GKXw3EDVGtAoiu36MdeVqMPRJba1WlF5TZXKQgNgA/htmlview
Only temp-root isn't supported on nougat. But that's not a big deal since you can just unlock the bootloader and flash SuperSU or Magisk via TWRP.

Oh, I was pretty sure I read that it didn't work on nougat. Jeez, I went through all that guide to downgrade to marshmallow for nothing. Dang it.
EDIT: Just checked the sunshine website and it has been updated since I last attempted s-off. Sorry, I'll stop suggesting that downgrade now!
Anyway thanks,

HTC M9
Hello every one, I'm new in HTC, I tried to install a new rom on my HTC M9 (stuck in bootloop) but it's not working, I've tried factory reset, many roms, I read almost all posts on the net (blogs) without success.
Model : HTC_HIMAUHL
Build : 3.35.401.12
CID : HTC__247
HBoot : 1.0.0.0000
MID : 0PJA10000
Security : CURITY FAILED (REMOTE: UNKNOWN COMMAND)
Region : HTC-FRA-Bouygues
I tried to set my phone S-off without success as well, unfortunately I have no way to pay sunshine for that, I live in a third world country.
please could you help, and thx in davance.
Please read the ReadMe thread. The RUU section of that thread contains everything you need for recovering your phone.
There still is no free S-OFF method and chances are high that there never will be one.
Just a friendly advice: I'd delete my IMEI from my post if I were you. Others can use it for scam.

Hi,
I just unlocked my bootloader through HTCDEV.COM last night, and found that somehow it also resulted in S-OFF.
I was planning to try Chimera Tool and Fire Water, But I'm so happy to see its S-OFF without going into any of those...

That's not possible. HTCdev can only be used for unlocking the bootloader since HTC doesn't want users to get S-OFF on their devices. They definitely won't provide a way to get S-OFF. Chances are high that the device was already set S-OFF by a previous owner.
Firewater isn't compatible with the M9, btw. I haven't heard about chimera tool, though.

It wasn't when I bought it 2 years ago. This is a T-Mobile version.
I don't expect you to believe, but mine is S-OFF from yesterday. Now planning to install Viper Rom
