[Q] HTC One M8 eye root - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

NFC and IR

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.

USB Storage/Devices on One X (->Leo)

Hoi Hoi
my lovely HD2 is now quite old, but still gold^^. In July i can get a new phone and because of the display and the other specs, the One X is the expected device.
But you haven't got the possibility to upgrade with SD Cards....
The Question is, whether u can do it like the HD2? Just using the HD2 files, i know it won't work. But in cooking i am a noob....

Hello, hi there,
You need to keep in mind that the HTC One X is security locked (S-On)
So first you need to unlock it, for that you need to register at HTC Dev and agree it can void your warrantee if you are going to unlock.
Next step is to root your device before you can flash a custom rom.
My device is still security locked as I like to keep my warrantee, so very much I can't tell you from experience..
But I think it's possible to flash from the internal storage by copying the rom file from your pc to your device using it as usb-storage if I'm not mistaking.
If someone likes to correct me on this, be my quest, I'm only trying to help.

You should probably start your own thread your problem has nothing to do with firmware with s-on

[Q] [Q&A] How to root HTC M8 Eye

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

[Q] (Noob) How do you root a one m8 (lollipop)?

Hey folks, I have a international european one m8 that runs lollipop. I was wondering if anyone could link me to a recent guide about how to go about rooting it. I know that there's the all in one kit that people used but I went on that thread and it seems unused for some time which gave me doubts about whether it would be recent and work for lollipop. Can someone therefore suggest a more recent guide or tell if the all in one toolkit method still works?
Thanks so much, cheers.
