SunShine bootloader unlock (S-Off) tool now supports the HTC U12+
SunShine is a tool which allows you to S-OFF your HTC smartphone. The HTC U12+ is now supported, check out what that means for you here.
SunShine is a popular tool used primarily on HTC devices for enabling S-OFF. The tool was updated to support the HTC U11 earlier this year, and now it supports the HTC U12+. Without being able to S-OFF, modding HTC devices becomes a great difficulty. This release should open the door to the true modding capability of the device.
Firewater Devs Show the HTC U11 S-OFF has been Achieved
HTC U11 S-OFF has been achieved by XDA Senior Recognized Developer beaups as shown in a new photo that was uploaded to Twitter.
HTC devices have a unique security layer built into their phones that is labeled either S-ON or S-OFF. When an HTC device is flagged as S-ON, various properties are protected from being permanently modified. This is why many enthusiasts opt for S-OFF, so they can get rid of all restrictions and modify protected partitions with zips not signed by HTC, which allows them to flash radios and custom hboots, and convert their device to a different (more updated!) edition of the same phone. The developers over at Firewater have just shown S-OFF has been achieved on the new HTC U11.
