I'm trying to put Busybox on my phone but every time I try and install it my phone restarts. My phone is both rooted and unlocked boot loader . Is there a .zip or an alternative to install it ? Thank you XDA

You need a writable system at boot or S-off

So if I flash the GPE ROM I will have a writable system? Certain ROM's only? I ask because my main M8 cannot achieve S-Off currently.
Thanks,

What's your software version and hboot stuff.
Yh so u have to s off to use custom roms but u might aswell root, so u can use apps like titanium back etc.

No you dont need root to install custom roms, you need a custom recovery. And yes, most custom roms will give you root access (unless otherwise specified).

See for any device to run a Custom ROM S-OFF is not required.All the custom ROMs have root access by default.You can install Custom ROM in S-on devices.To install Custom Rom all you have to do is have an unlocked bootloader (which you have as you have said it!) and a custom recovery through which you will flash the custom rom.

At first disable screen timeout in advance in twrp then
After completing the installation in aroma for viper press reboot/next then wait for some time like 5 mins it will boot naturally

Hello
So I tried running firewater on my One M8 but it failed. I got this 'remember the golden rule? Never take an OTA update? Apparently you don't. Device patched by HTC, you are out of luck.' Is there anything I can do? Btw I'm running CM11 if that matters.
Sent from my One M8 using XDA Free mobile app
As the many .... many threads on s-off already say :
Use a STOCK rom and a STOCK kernel and a STOCK recovery, then try firewater.....Does it fail ? Use SUNSHINE (Google it) when that fails you have to wait for SUNSHINE 3.0 (or whatever the next update will be called)
NO other way and NO other options are available !

Then i suggest to read up a bit more and learn the terms and all the things you need to know to get back to stock/how it all works/and what exactly certain things do. And most important why you need s-off and root.
Ask yourself these things first and then start modding a device.
There has been an OTA update pushed to VM 816s for about a month or so. I know that normally we cannot apply this to rooted devices because of the tampered flag being set off and not running the stock recovery. Is there any way beyond running RUU and getting to complete stock to apply the update? If not, does anyone know how you can extract update from an updated phone?

Unroot through the SuperSU app and reflash the stock recovery.

I tested this last night, you don't need to re-lock the bootloader. Just unroot, flash stock recovery, and apply the update. No need to lose data.
can't get it to work

Hmm.... I updated via OTA and I looked at the version number.
I used the RUU and looked at version number and they were both the same though.
Can I reroot after update
For some reason it's being a pain and not allowing me to install the update. When I flash the recovery and attempt to boot into it to for a system update, all I get is a red triangle with an exclamation point through it
I'm new to HTC process so go easy on me...(came from Galaxy S4 to m9)
I'm currently on mm 6.0 and yesterday I installed sunshine 3.3 after seeing @jcase post it was good to go for Verizon m9. So I'm now s-off and bootloader unlocked...here is where my confusion starts....and maybe I missed the thread that covered it...but how do I root and install twrp? All the methods I read were for java cards and xclips. But not sunshine...will they work the same? Also I do not have a PC with windows is there an option for Linux users...thank you for any replies, I appreciate your time and help...

That did it. Thank you. Next to flash SuperSU.
First HTC phone, is the RUU what's used to recover from bricks and bootloop? Just flash with fast boot? Like to know my options to recover before I start flashing.
