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.

I had to turn s back on on my phone, but now i have three flags Tampered, Relocked, and Secruity warning, is there any way to get rid of the tampred and secruity warning and change the relocked back to locked?
Are you S-OFF if you aren't check if firewater it's compatible with your device and you can S OFF I don't suggest you do this if you don't have some experience with things like this..
Can I unlock bootloader and root and stuff using the AIO toolkit, then S-off from there?

Yes you can but no guarantee that you can get s-off
So is it correct to say that if I S-off before doing any modding with the phone, s-off is guranteed? And will HTC check for S-off during warranty check?

No its not guaranteed s-off depends on your phone international unlocked does not s- off and some others

I am S-off, had to go s-on because I need to send phone into htc
I once did an S-OFF but I full wiped my device& flashed a costum rom and now at the bootloader screen its says S-ON.
Every thing fine here, but when im trying to S-OFF my HTC ONE M8 after saying yes at the firewater I got a message like this:
there really isn't a helluva lot to do here. bye bye
but im going back to the bootloader device and still S-ON. anything that I can do to S-OFF my device? im clueless.
Thanks in advanced
Can you change your cid? If yes irs still s-off but somehow changed to s-on normally it can't change to s-on by its own.. so try to change your cid and if it works you still have s-off
There's a hack available that more or less hides the fact that you're s-off. It will do exactly what you're describing. It'll show you as being s-on when you really aren't. Also, if you run firewater after doing the hack, you'll get the same message you got. Perhaps the rom you installed came with the hack? Can't say that I know of any that do but perhaps you should ask first in the thread for the rom that you flashed. Just a thought.

If supercid is still there you still have s-off
And normally the Roms doesn't change the s-off/s-on flag maybe the firmware did it...but yea you should be Still s-off if supercid is still there
Just got my M7 back form HTC for warranty repair. Phone was sent with to HTC with S-off but arrived with S-on and Hboot 1.57
I am a bit confused on what I need to do as things have changed since I first S-off using rumrunner and weaksauce.
Other then sunshine, Is there a way to root the phone in it's present state? Can I unlock the bootloader with HTdev?
Thanks
BB

With hBoot 1.57, Sunshine is your only option. Works easy.

So we can't even root the M7 on hBoot 1.57 unless we use sunshine first?
I assume we can't flash and older version as well.

Yes to both: it can be rooted and rommed just after you finish Sunshine.
And you're correct about you can't go back.
Once you've got S-0ff, you can go backwards and forwards with radios and hboots.
What does sunshine do that HTCDev doesn't do? I'm really very confused.
Sunshine S-off's your phone, as well as unlocking the bootloader. HTCdev unlocks your bootloader but leaves security/signing on (S-on) Also, the method Sunshine uses to unlock your bootloader doesn't trip a factory reset.
You don't typically need to turn security/signing off unless you want to change your CID/MID (to convert your handset to a different region) or go back to an older version of firmware/software.

HTC dev only unlocks the boot loader, sunshine or firewater provides full s off which lifts restrictions to partitions that are normally locked down.
Check the below thread for explanations.

Thank link is invalid.
Also, I have got s-off previously without using this?

So in bootloader (or alternately, adb getvar all) it indicates s-off?
If so, and you didn't do firewater or sunshine, then its factory s-off. Its rare, but I've seen it here from time to time.
Hello.
So I have a One M8 with a 3.19 HBOOT and I want to S-OFF this device. Firewater seems to be broken on this firmware and I'm not paying $25 for Sunshine. So my question is, is it possible for me to flash an older version of HBOOT onto the device? The device is an unlocked European one (both carrier and bootloader unlocked) with HTC_032 CID running CyanogenMod 12, but I can go back to stock if I need to. Thanks.

Firewater won't work on any firmware as it has now been dis abandoned, Sunshine is the only way to go

Oh, that sucks. Is it still possible to downgrade HBOOT? I've heard that Sunshine doesn't work on all 3.xx devices right now.

not without s-off if you run sunshine, it will do some checks and let you know if it will work or not before you have to purchase, so, try and run it and see what happens. for $25.00 it is worth doing

No. You cannot "downgrade" hboot with s-on.
If you could, then everyone would be doing it (that is stuck with s-on) and there wouldn't really be an "issue" with 3.x devices.
As previously mentioned, try sunshine and see if your device is supported (you won't be charged if not).
