Hi,
I am from India and have just bought recently launched HTC One M8 Eye which is only available in China and India.
I want to know if I can root and install custom ROMs on it like any other M8. The only difference between them is a 13 Megapixel rear camera instead of a 4 UltraPixel camera. It has Snapdragon 801 clocked at 2.3 Ghz, which I think is the same as the European HTC M8.
EDIT: Just got to know that it lacks Infrared port too while I was trying to configure it with my home theater system. :/
We can't help you wait until their is a forum for that specific device if you try flashing an m8 Rom you would be lucky if your camera didn't work worse it could turn into a total brick

looking for root for HTC m8 eye
looking for the same root. the previous chinese version is similar to the standard HTC m8 root. but will wait for a specific root process for the phone.
Jealous! I want a M8 eye
Root will likely be no different.
-unlock bootloader
-flash custom recovery
-flash SU binaries if recovery doesn't do it for you.
-install SU app.
But, Need to be able to unlock bootloader. Also need a custom recovery made for the device. (if the regular m8 one won't do.)
As far as roms go, I doubt original m8 roms will work... Period, or at least things may not work right... Radio, camera...????
Patience. Someone brave needs to attempt all this first, or a Dev will work on it.
It would be really great if we could use M8 ROMs straight away. Hope devs find a way for it soon. :angel:
I tried to do this process for my latest phone. I have succeeded in unlocking the phone (after selecting M8 on HTCDev). However, I cant seem to get any of the recoveries installed (twrp, openrecovery*, recovery* for M8). Flashing the recovery, followed by erasing the cache is OK - no error messages. When I select "Recovery" from the bootloader menu options, it just quickly flashes something and presents the bootloader screen again. On top of it, I seem to have lost my "Delete Personal Data" as it simply reboots and goes into bootloader menu.
So unless someone figures out how to root the M8 Eye, we are stuck. I curse myself for having bought M8 Eye instead of M8, thinking its the latest and greatest - HTC was being deceptive by not clearly stating that IR blaster and a couple of other things are not included - they seem to require a HTC Mini+. They have even taken out the "hearing aid" option . I really thought that the in-call volume on M8 series would be fantastic given all the glowing reviews about the speakers and how that one of the speakers doubles up as the ear piece. It seems that low call volume is an oft stated complaint in many of the latest android phones and it leaves folks like me that use hearing aids, in the lurch. I need to have root and custom kernels to crank up the volume

Appears you must be rooted and S-Off, and flash in a custom recovery (CWM may be necessary, no one has posted whether TWRP works or not yet) though, it seems the stock browser has issues with Flash and image view from Google Images. You might be better off with Chrome or Dolphin.

Are you S-OFF or bootloader unlocked? If not you can achieve both by using Sunshine which is an all in one root/s-off/bootloader unlock pretty much. Only downside is it costs $25. If you're using the international variant(which I assume you are since you're posting in international forum) then you can also request an unlock code to unlock your phones bootloader using HTCDev. This however will only allow you to do so much and I recommend Sunshine but either way will work. Once you have either an unlocked bootloader or S-OFF you can flash one of the custom ROM's from the Development section of the M8 forum. If you want stock Sense I recommend using Android Revolution HD, otherwise you can browse there yourself and find something you like.
Take note in order to flash anything you're going to need a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP
TWRP can be found here & CWM can be found here
ARHD(Android Revolution HD) can also be found here
Also here is a good tutorial on how to do these things if you don't already know. I highly recommend doing some research for yourself and truly understanding what you're doing before you actually do any of it. As with anything you should always do your own research before doing something and make sure you're familiar with it and properly equipped to do it(equipped with proper knowledge).
Hi All,
is there a plan to create a rooting process for the HTC one m8 eye. i recently bought this phone and was wondering if the Htc one m8 process will work the same on this device as well although its missing a certain components from the htc one m8(nfc, IR). Any developers looking at this device currently from a root or Custom ROM perspective?
I think there has been an issue in general rooting Android 4.4.4, even for "standard" M8 models. Once this gets sorted out, you should be able to unlock the bootloader through HTCDev.com and apply the working root method.
Hi - did you manage to root your HTC One M8 eye - I currently have this phone and need access to the Google play services?
Thanks
Naa havent yet. Dont have a clear process yet for it.

somehow i am not sure it will be out soon. the device is available only in India and China so not a big user base to go for it. Also without IR and NFC cant use the same custom roms as m8

Just to confirm for everyone. The HTC M8 EYE doe have NFC and IR. Bought it yesterday in China and have linked it up to two TVs. I hav not tried NFC but it says it is turned on so I assume it is all good. However the phone is Chinese, missing Google play and with an almost non-functioning version of Blink feed. I would be very happy if I could change the ROM to the Indian version. Anyone know how?
Can anyone please help on HTC One m8 rooting process, I bought one from India.

hello, everyone, specially from Taiwan.
If you take a htc desire 820f single card version,
and you want to root it,
I think you all got same problem like me,
that is, every forum mention about d820 twrp recovery
are all for d820 duel card version,
and all didn't work on 820f.
I research for a long time, finding a right twrp recovery,
or stock ruu ( because I didn't backup before flash wrong recovery.
and I can't find anything about it.
BUT, JUST TODAY,
I FINALLY FIND RUU FOR D820F taiwan version!!!!
htcui.com/6688.html
this is link, I'm a new member, so I can post website,
so please add http yourself.
各位台灣拿D820F的朋友，
如果你曾經嘗試ROOT
現在一定遇到了找不到第三方recovery,
也沒有官方RUU的窘境了吧..(跟我一樣..
今天我終於找到台版D820f的RUU
興奮之餘，想說用於XDA，回饋於XDA
所以就上來分享給大家了:laugh::laugh:
