Hi Guys i recently got this phone i wanted to know if we can flash twrp with s-on and if it will have any consequences?
If you have a Verizon m8 with s-on then i assume you also have a locked bootloader. Attempting to flash a custom recovery won't hurt anything but it won't be successful either.

any way i can unlock bootloader without sunshine i m on 4.4.4 rooted with weaksauce2.
You would need either sunshine ore to find one of the folks with a java card to get you s-off. Why are you opposed to sunshine? Many people have had success using it with king root.

Hello,
I want to go back to ICS preferably the 2.20 version on my One XL I am on 3.18 unlocked and s-off is it possible to do this without bricking? If yes than how so? I am pretty competent and confident in my adb and fastboot abilities so this is not an issue however this is my daily use phone and I have no backup device so I really cant afford a brick. (Or else I wouldn't be asking I would find out myself lol) Thanks in advance.

yes, download and run the 2.20 RUU. It's safe as you're S-OFF.

Ok Thanks. Do I need to relock bootloader or anything? Or just run it.

What does s-off offer than root access?
Is it worth getting s-off or not?
Shall I just get root?
So I don't have to downgrade my hboot.
Sent from HTC desire S Android 4.0.4
when you are s-off you dont have to flash boot.img via fastboot when changing roms
Oh right is that it, I might as well just root instead downgrading hboot.

It seems to be a common misconception that S-OFF means root, you can be S-OFF without root; what it really means is that you have turned off write protection to the phone's NAND memory, which is where important parts of the OS and other firmware are stored.

Once you're S-OFF it is a huge convenience, if you think you might be changing firmware or flashing ROMs often it can be well worth it. If you're less "tech savvy" you may feel more comfortable with just an unlocked bootloader.

If all you want is root, it might be easier for you, if you need to unlock your bootloader remember that you will still have your data wiped.

This is not for latest firmware 1.20.970.12
If you are S-OFF can you install a custom recovery? TWRP should install root binaries for you, I am on the latest and rooted
