Heya M8's
It looks like JustinCase et al have been hard at work again and have created a new S-oFF method for HTC devices called SunShine.

However, this time things are a bit different - it costs $25 per device.
I'd be curious in how this compares to firewater - current device owners - I assume that method has been patched?
Edit: Also, it looks like this is just an app - no computer required

What makes SunShine the start of a new era?
Simply put, it isn't free. SunShine is the cumulation of years of research, hundreds of hours of development, the sacrifice of many devices (R.I.P. bricked test phones), and the blood, sweat and tears of multiple developers. Just like how a mechanic charges money for his time souping up your car, the only feasible way to devote the time and energy to this is to charge for it. The income from SunShine allows us to recoup the time lost from other projects, to invest more time into research and development of new solutions, purchase new test hardware, and to allow us to enjoy a few bottles of wine at the end of a hard week.
Well crud, how much are you asking for?
The initial price of SunShine is set at $25.00usd per device, payable via paypal or credit-card from within the application itself. Our hopes are that SunShine is successful enough to allow us to find or purchase vulnerabilities, and to develop future solutions at lower prices. If you want to see additional payment options become available, let us know in support!
