Hey guys I plan on staying on stock Rom for a while but I need busy box installed. There are apps that do it, but whenever I try to install it my device just reboots. I'm stock rooted with unlocked boot loader as of right now and unable ble to achieve s-off in case that helps. New to HTC so any help would be appreciated.

You need to make your system writable

Would you be able to guide me on how to do that? Thought I had already done that but guess not :/
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Im pretty sure you need to turn s-on to s-off. There are many threads on here how to do that. I think you need to root it too
Not trying to hijack this thread but I've always wonder what is busybox for?

Guess I'm out of luck. Tried to use the s off method but it said it wouldn't work on my device

Doesn't work my device too.
If you have unlocked bootloader you can try to flash or use a module or hacked/custom kernel which can turn system from read only to write...flar made this module/kernel...so read the thread and maybe give it a try...

What is the disadvantage having s-on. If we can still root what is the problem. Why exactly do we need s-off

It give us unlimited permission to modify the system partition etc. changing Boot screen etc.
There is a detailed thread that's right at top of the general forum that covers this in depth.

It also allows direct access to all partitions on the phone so we can learn a lot more about it. Will be able to flash boot.img via recovery with the rom (no need for fastboot flash), we can flash modified hboot/bootloader if we wish to as well. Plenty of possibilities.
None of this is possible with s-on, even if you are htcdev unlocked.

You need to get again a new one as your file seems to be corrupted...be sure to copy the output for creating the file correctly otherwise you can't unlock it....mine always worked for the first try on many hox

I had this issue yesterday, it was extremely frustrating. You cannot see the phone, however as you said you can send a recovery. You can also push a rom to the sd card that I presume you cannot see in Windows when you mount it in Cwm or twrp. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2329090

This problem usually happens when ROM is corrupted, faced that problem on most HTC devices... I prefer to try fixing ur stock rom then unlocking your phone.
Howdy, new HTC One M8 owner here. Coming from Galaxy S4.
There is a lot information here pretty overwhelming. I'm trying to get my bearings. I have unlocked my BL and have not yet installed a custom recovery or root yet. I also have not taken any updates.
Is there a general consensus on which recovery is most compatible with our device?
What is S-Off? I mean I have the jist secure off, but what does this allow, and how do I achieve S-Off?
How do I verify I'm SIM unlocked and if not procedure to achieve this?
Finally with all of the development is there a thread that runs through the ROMs so I can choose one that best fits my need?

S-OFF if you change CID and model information and be able to flash any firmware but to flahs normals ROM zip files you absolutely dont need SOFF

I factory reset still my data turns off and on when hot spot is activated. I have done nothing but installed TWRP and S Off. This is ridiculous.
Any other ideas?

I did everything right and now I'm stuck with Rooted and Unlocked Bootloader but I can't turn S off I want to install customs ROMs. Ugh. I do the Firewater method. It works fine up until last step a ns tell me sorry you will never be able to unlock me
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
As far as I'm aware, not everyone's M8 has had success with S-Off, yet. I'm sorry to say, you may be one of the unlucky ones for now. Hopefully something comes along that will work for everyone.
I would just add that you don't need s-off to use custom Rom. Just go and flash away.?

Yep much better than the crap we put up with on the One S.
how to s off htc one m8 4.4.4 xda
thanks people
i wanna change my phone to google play edition btw
search firewater and sunshine. given you're on 4.4.4 firewater would be less likely to work so sunshine would be your only option
Better chance with Sunshine
And sunshine might not work unless its a gpe m8
I thought sunshine only worked with sense roms and not gpe. I s off my 4.4.4 sense device with sunshine last week.

How did your achieve that? Did you unlock the boot loader with HTC dev first? It won't work on my T-Mobile US version on 4.4.4. Thanks

Yes, i unlocked my bootloader via htcdev, as it needs root to work

Did you have custom recovery installed or did you have stock recovery?

for sunshine it doesn't matter, as it does not use recovery, all you have to do is install the apk, run it, let it do tests, and if it asks you to pay, your good to go.
