Hi, guys, I just got the Verizon HTC One today and it came out of box with Android 4.4.2 and Sense 5.5 build no. 3.11.605.1 CL304035 release-keys. I have read through the Android Development forum and Original Android Development forum and I didn't find any tools specific to the 4.4.2 build. Can any of you point me in the right direction? Or is the bootloader and S-Off method still in the works? Please don't tell me that this is going to be like the Samsung devices and locked down forever! Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!
As of right now, there is no s-off, bootloader unlock, or root for 4.4.2. But im sure there will be eventually. As i understand it, firewaters exploit was not patched, but the needed temp root method was.

If you got the device from a retail store just go back and try to get a replacement. There's a good bet most of them are not on 4.4
Gotcha(directed to both of you) I'm sure there'll be a method soon, if nothing else moonshine, rumrunner, etc. Will probably just be updated as I figure. I used to have the Droid DNA which is an awesome phone and I used moonshine and loved it. I love those one click programs that does everything for you! I just thought I'd ask because I read through the forums first and didn't see anything and I just wanted to make sure I didn't over look anything. Thank you guys, I appreciate it.

Almost 5 months for a root method? I feel really bad for those stuck on 4.4 now. I'd just jump to the M8 at that point.
Yeah August is a long way off and sure we will have another update by then which most will take making his exploit useless.

For the most part, beaups was silent before he cracked 4.3 right?
And they can't patch an exploit if they don't know what it is right?

I wish kingo was compatible. I mean I would like to have soff, custom recovery and an unlocked boot loader for custom ROMs but with how smooth and fast the 4.4.2 software is, I would be perfectly fine with just root.

my wife just got her dinc2 back, her first was rooted and all that good stuff but before i could root the new phone and put a custom rom on i realized she was running 2.3.4. It did not come with this software that i know but at some point in the night it updated on its own so my question is this. how do i, if it is even possible yet root the 2.3.4 hboot .98?
2.3.4 can't be rooted yet.

i used the methods described there and they do indeed work.
running cyanogenmod 7 on my dinc2 now, It came from verizon with 2.3.4 and hboot 0.98
just follow the directions there (exactly) and you will be set.

Make that 3! I have a base made for this device. I just need a damn recovery to add to it so I can release it! lol
Why not just wait until HTC puts the stock recovery on their support page?
The device just came out 2 months ago, i do not think anyone will be willing to tinker with their device at the risk of bricking it when its so new..
What exactly do you guys need?

HTC won't release the stock recovery.
Actually, there are phones that are already tinkered on day one lol.
We need either a stock boot.img or a stock recovery.

Thing is, you can't. You need at least temp root to pull the kernel or recovery. Stupid HTC encrypted their RUU so we can't just pull the file out.

We need a person to teamviewer with us so we can pull boot.IMG ( to make an unsecure boot IMG that gives you root ) and recovery. IMG ( so me or another fellow dev I know can make a custom recovery ) so this way development sparks.

There is a stickies in this forum that are fine.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529058
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26328017&postcount=123 <-- that is in a different sticky (less in depth instructions). Although with that you probably should download a more up to date recovery, but it would get you root with the old recovery.
That said...I recommend letting your friend do the work. That way he/she can learn, and if there is a problem, he/she can possibly fix it. Rather than being stuck without a device until you can get around to potentially fixing it. Especially if you plan on flashing custom ROMs and kernels.
Hello I have an HTC One M8 from tmobile and I want to root it. I was going to wait until I upgraded to lollipop and then root but from the looks of it, it will take some time until tmobile releases the update. Do you think i should wait until the upgrade and then root? Or should i root then update? How much time do you think it will take for the carriers to release the update?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
I would think that the update to Lollipop should be hitting us soon. HTC's promise is that the update will be out within 90 days of source code release which was Nov. 4th. Just a few more weeks and we should have it. If you check HTC's software update status site it says that its being integrated, then will need certified and then rollout. The developer/unlocked versions had rollout within a few days of starting certification.
Thanks, so whats the safest method to root the phone? Ive seen an htc quick root tool but is it updated to work with my phone?
Thanks again

I just used fastboot commands since my computer is a Mac and most of the quick tools are meant for windows. I unlocked the bootloader with HTCDev, then installed TWRP then let TWRP root the phone. I then went on to S-Off and flash the GPE RUU and found that I liked Sense better than GPE.
--------------------------------EDIT-------------------------------
I should point out that I am now back to completely stock with S-Off.
I dont know much about rooting but I see people that install cyanogenmod...can I install that? Is it better than the stock m8 OS?

I personally like stock. Cyanogenmod is a AOSP modified ROM and pretty well made based on when I was using it a few years ago. Can't help but expect they've only gotten better. If you move away from a stock sense or a modified sense ROM, you will lose some of the specific features of the phone (proper use of dual lens camera, quick unlock shortcuts, blinkfeed, etc.)

Oh so what can I install if I cant install modified roms? What other advantages i have with root? I know I can have apps like titanium backup and greenify but those things arent that important to me.

Hey guys, I've been waiting to get android M and sense 7 before I root my phone, now I realize that root availability depends on firmware and carrier.
Could you guys please tell me if there's any way to root the One M8 on T Mobile, android M?
It doesn't matter what phone nor carrier. You have root. 2 different ways if your s-on or off. Just search the HTC One M8 thread and you'll find it.

Oh, sweet, thanks! I was confused since I keep seeing some guides that say they're exclusive for like, AT&T m8 or what not.. So I can use any guide for Android M root for M8?
Only way is to S-Off your device with Sunshine
http://theroot.ninja/
It costs a one time fee of $25 in which it'll Unlock your Bootloader and S-Off. You can then fastboot flash a custom recovery to install SuperSU or a compatible Custom Rom
