If you don't use Sunshine, the only option is a Java card/clip. They're fairly expensive, although there are some users who are willing to share their hardware to help other users who live nearby.

Ye, the only way without sunshine would be with an xtc clip or Java card, and they are expensive.
On nougat, unlock your bootloader, flash twrp and follow these instructions https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/guide-htc-one-m9-nougat-downgrade-s-off-t3554665
to downgrade to marshmallow and run sunshine. Then, you would be s-off.
That's the only accessible way unfortunately, unless you know someone with a Java card or something?
Hope this helps,
Jev
Thanks for all your answers!
I've already rooted my phone succesfully on S-ON, I just want to have S-OFF in case I want to install custom roms on my mobile.
I'm just a bit mean that I'm not willing to pay 25$ for just making my phone S-OFF..
But as I'm reading your comments it seems like there's no other way getting S-OFF.
You are aware of the fact that S-OFF has nothing to do with the capability of installing custom roms, aren't you?

Yes. Sim unlocked and Security Off flag are two different things.

Aside from a temp root. Yes.
I just got my M8 yesterday after running over my previous phone, and immediately started looking into s-off and root. Am I screwed with the 4.4.3 update when it comes to s-off, because it seems like firewater won't work. Is there a different exploit that works? I couldn't find anything searching. My apologizes about the noobness, I'm always like this when I first get a new device. Many thanks in advance, sorry for any errors grammar-wise, I'm on my phone.

You need to use Sunshine. It costs $25 and not transferrable to a different phone, but it is worth it IMHO.

Cool, thanks. Sunshine is just for s-off, right? I can still root and bootloader unlock without sunshine, correct?

I did, then I must have done something wrong. had a pretty constant reboot problem. Ended up buying S-Off and flashing GPE ruu.

Sweet, thank you very much. I'm just a bit tight after buying this phone and having a 1k mile road trip this week. Good to know I can get my root on.
I just did the same thing I love it no more sense or HTC preventing me from running the latest software

Correct, but I preferred to get S-off with sunshine then root and unlock the bootloader without having to get the HTC developer unlock. This way HTC doesn't have any record of the bootloader being unlocked.
I am a noob to the htc side of things and am learning about s-off and bootloader unlocking. I have a verizon m7 and it is on the latest update so after trying for 2hrs to get rumrunner working I read that the only s-off method that works for this version is Sunshine. Now I am only going to be using this phone for a few weeks until I can get my hands on a nexus 6 and it has a cracked screen so I just can't justify spending to unlock the bootloader. Is there any way possible to unlock the 5.28.605.2 version for free? And if not that version specifically is there a way to downgrade? I want this so I can run an AOSP rom but if there is no way without paying I might as well just rock stock sense. Also no disrespect to the sunshine devs they have done great work I just can't afford it right now. Thanks!
Edit: Also is there a way to get root without S-off/bootloader unlock so that I can atleast use Xposed? Again sorry for the noob questions im so used to having a nexus that all these things are new to me.
Being locked and s-on, any way you would get root would be temporary and any changes to system would be reset upon reboot. Only way for permanent root is s-off or unlock. (This means xposed will not work.
Only software to s-off and unlock for recent ota is sunshine. You can look at java card or jtag services, but they are more expensive than sunshine.
You cannot downgrade without s-off.

Curious, are you turned off from S-OFF because you are happy stock, or you don't want to pay the $25 for S-OFF.
100% curiosity, feel free not to answer, I'm just honestly curious.
Trying to get some feedback on the payment for sunshine and if people are turned off by it.

I really would love to run paranoid android on this phone but its not so much the price its the fact that I'm not going to use this phone for too long im just waiting for the nexus 6. That being said if it were closer to $10 i probably would have done it. Also sense 6 is way more tolerable than older versions I've used.
Im looking for One M8 S-OFF making but really confused. I used European M8 with latest lollipop update. Firewater discontinues s-off making. So can anybody tell me which way is the S-off making up-to-date. thanks for your help.
Sunshine......Has been covered a lot already, if you have had a read at the firewater thread you would have seen it links to the SUNSHINE exploit

Read the site, the rootninja....google that and all will be clear.
Hello,
I see that Sunshine requires temp root in order to be able to s-off on lollipop. Do we have it without htcdev?
I'd rather not use htcdev because I'm afraid HTC may be keeping unlocked phone serials stored so that they'll be able to refuse warranty service even if the phone has been brought back to stock.
Thank you very much

Sunshine comes with the necessary files for temp root. You don't need anything other than Sunshine itself. Download it, run it and it will tell you if it can work or not. That's really all there is to it.
