I don't normally post question. Figuring out how to do things is half the fun. But I've searched everywhere and I've not been able to find a root method for the M8 GPe. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's the GPe. To unlock the bootloader I just used fastboot oem unlock. I just need root. Philz Touch Recovery is only for the m8, m8spr, and m8vzw. I guess what I need is both a way to root the device and a custom recovery to install.
Can I push root through adb like the Nexus 5? And is there a recovery for the m8gpe?

It's all the same, you can use the normal M8 recovery.

Thanks.
You can flash su.zip through recovery or let recovery do it automatically, I think CWM and Philz touch detect and offer to root your stock rom. I know TWRP does.

First I tried to use the HTC super tool v3 to root my phone; that didn't work. I tried out the new "One Root for WFS" tool; all went well until I had to boot into recovery. I had already run into this problem once before when trying to flash CWM recovery. When I go to it, the screen just hangs at the HTC logo and I have to pull the battery to get out of it.
Why isn't this recovery working? Additionally, is there another way to obtain root without this recovery? (But I really just want a working recovery, to flash roms and make backups and whatnot.)

All I've done is unlock the bootloader through HTCdev. I assumed that was the same as s-off? The recovery seems to push through successfully, I've tried to flash it multiple times now.

Is it ok to flash a ROM after i have unlocked my bootloader and rooted or do I absolutely have to have S-Off first? I have looked around and searched and googled first and found no answer to this question. Any help is greatly appreciated!

You can flash a rom without being s-off but you need to manually flash the boot.img file.

Has anybody tried fastbooting the recovery img into the phone's memory?
Like this:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivow.img

All that will do is boot you into recovery .
If you use fastboot , the command would be like
"Fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery.img>"

I had read somewhere that if you boot into recovery in the phone's memory instead of from the partition, the recovery will be able to write to the boot partition - so no need to flash the boot.img separately.
I haven't tested this myself, though.
Hi all, I'm sorry to ask this question again, but after a lot of checking I can't figure this out.
I have Android 2.3.5 (3.12.405.x), the phone is S-Off with bootloader 2.00.0029, and locked. I need to unlock it so I can flash a recovery and then root the thing to use Titanium backup to restore data to another phone.
The HTCdev method wipes all the data, right?

If you are s-off you can just flash a custom recovery directly. No need to unlock the bootloader.

You got those error because remote flash only allowed on unlocked and engineering bootloader.
You need to use hboot patch to install custom recovery by putting that zip files in the root of your sdcard. Reboot to bootloader and it will ask for a prompt to update. I am not sure whether this method still applicable to new bootloader (2.00.0029).

Hmmm. It's hard to find the right information for newer hboot.
I'm creating a pd98.zip now with a custom recovery. I'll update on how it goes.

...you didn't answer my question. S-Off or bootloader unlock?
And ADB and fastboot are different things. Fastboot in bootloader. ADB during and after boot.
Hey there.
Got my M9.
Unlocked.
Flashed TWRP.
Installed SU.
Obtained root.
Flashing ROMs and it says 'successful' but when exiting TWRP, the device says 'No OS installed!'. I don't see a RUU in the forums. What I see is S-Off required and I don't have that. What can I do?
Don't use the latest TWRP.

It seems I can't get my pc to find the device (adb devices). I can't find what to rename TWRP.img to let the bootloader update the recovery itself with it on the sd card... do you know?

Disregard. I didn't realize you could flash recovery from within recovery >_>
