I have an AT&T HTC One M8 that I've rooted and unlocked but still need to s-off. What is the best/easiest way to accomplish this without bricking the phone? I am no longer in an AT&T coverage area and want to activate my phone with my local carrier. I got the sim unlock code from AT&T but can't get it to work, so any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Sunshine is the only working s-off method at this time.
Its easy and safe, from my understanding. But it costs $25.

No it does not. TMo should provide a code if you've had the phone more than 45 days. You can always request it.
I'm reading through the threads and forums and maybe I'm just missing it... Is there a way to get S-Off/Unocked on the Tmobile One besides htcdev.com? My One is a warranty replacement, and also I just now received it back from having the camera repaired, so I really don't want to officially unlock it via htcdev for warranty purposes. On Verizon we had Rumrunner just before I switch to T-Mobile. Is there something similar? I see rumrunner for the int'l variant, but can't find if it'll work on T-Mobile. Again I apologize if it's right in front of my face or if I'm looking in the wrong places, but I've been looking for about an hour with no luck.
TIA!
Forgot to mention I'm also on stock 4.3, 3.24.531.3
Ok correct me if I'm wrong - I've read (haven't tried yet) the int'l rumrunner will get S-Off, but you have to be rooted first - i.e. have to unlock via htcdev anyway.
You are correct the current T-Mobile build IS supported by rumrunner, and yes, you must be HTC dev unlocked first. Contrary to popular belief, however, this does not completely void your warranty with HTC.
Hardware issues (like your camera for example) will usually still be covered by HTC, but you can go directly through T-Mobile. Going through warranty with T-Mobile is very easy. When you go through them and the only downside is the replacement will be a refurbished phone, but sometimes they'll even send you the refurb before you send back the defective one. T-Mobile is really great with warranty replacement.
They honor a one-year device warranty, all you would need to do is set your bootloader back to "locked" (which you can do once you've gained soff) and place a warranty request with T-mobile directly.
Thank you - that's exactly what I needed to know. And I forgot you can set it back to locked with S-Off - good to know!
What should I expect when I get it back? Unlock. S-Off, nd root still possible?

bump with added question, not an intentional hijack... Who was your insurance? Do you know what replacement device you'll get?
I didn't use the insurance, just called HTC and they scheduled a repair. I paid nothing out of pocket not even to ship it to them.

I got back my same device.

Hey ya'll, I'm currently on 4.4.4 for my m8 on at&t and I want to S-Off but I really don't want to pay $25 for that sunshine one. Is there any other ones? I use to use firewater but that seems to not work anymore and I've heard about moonshine but no one really talks about it so not sure if that's a good one or if it actually works. Thanks in advance for your responses.
No theres no other free options available.
