[Q] New m8 and want to and s-off, lots of questions! topic

Hello all,
I'm new to the m8 and Verizon, but not rooting and s-off. I own a Sprint m7 that is rooted and s-off running numerous custom ROMs and I'm wondering is there a big difference between the two? Let me explain why I ask. Where I'm from there isn't a Verizon or Sprint so I don't deal with the bloat and special doodads carrier branded devices impose, I just root and remove unwanted junk. With this new m8 it seems more complicated to me about setting up if I install a custom ROM. I didn't have to worry about new ROMs on the m7 besides permanently bypassing HFA and other bloat, restored my titanium backup and went from there.
Are there any special things I have to do, like activation from initial setup or will it be like my m7, where I didn't need to worry since my carriers info was programmed into the and it stuck without reprogramming carrier settings?
Will I have to call Verizon and blow my cover of being rooted and s-off, and why does Verizon have control over unlocking boot loader?
Thank for your time, I'm pretty sure I'll have more questions later.

S-Off Question 4.4.4 topic

Hey guys,

Sorry mods not sure if right forum.

I had an M8 running Viper Rom, but I lost it over the weekend (think it was stolen, doesn't matter). Filed insurance claim, got my refurb from Asurion today. It is running 4.4.4. Firewater has been discontinued now, but I can only find links that have directions for use with firewater. Can somebody point me in the right direction? Thanks

S-Off Rant topic

I know the only method for this is Sunshine's method to which he charges roughly £12 ish. Now whilst he no doubt wants to receive cash for efforts there are many Developers, be it ROM, Kernel, or Themes that kindly do it free and if you can spare a donation have it as optional.

This is not me wanting something for nothing however there are many especially in today's world that are financially strapped for cash. I believe in sharing and kindness and the reward to not charging is knowing that many are grateful.

Sunshine will no doubt have made some nice cash however the other devs here are richer in heart and kindness.

[Q] Cdma s-off for hboot 1.58? 3d help!! topic

Good morning all. Hopefully I can keep this short and sweet, and hopefully you all have the information that I don't want dig for. Well, I KNOW you have the information need, thanks in advance to everyone who's helped us beginners and intermediates with your question answers, helpful tutorials, and tips and tricks.

I have an HTC Evo 3D, Rooted, S-On, and I'd like to finally downgrade the hboot and get the S-Off. I have the Smooth Criminal rom installed with a Butteredtoast chaser and 4ext RC2 Recovery. Android 4.0.3, hboot 1.58, radio 1.09.00.0108, software 2.89.651.710RD. I'd just like help with the best procedure for downgrading and S-Offing for 2015.

Screenshots of specs are attached, I welcome and thank all input. Speaking of actually, my endgame was a 4.4.4 rom to fix force closes, and a full featured kernel with OTG, fastcharge and Linux swap support, any input on that would Re also be awesome. THANKS=)

[Q] I need to get to S-off, device stright out HTC factory topic

Okay so I've gone through around 4 HTC one m8's luckily they've all been within the first year. I just got my replacement from HTC this morning. I want to flash GPE Lollipop 5.0.1 but in order for that to happen I need s-off. After I set my phone up I tried to run SunShine and it said my device was incompatible. Is there anything I can do to possibly gain s-off.
