Noob requires help rooting htc one m8 - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

can someone please help me in noob terms how to root my htc one m8, it has software version htc sense 6, on adroid 4.4.4, i have read loads about s off, bootloader and all sortes but understand none and dont understamd which order i need to do them in if needed.... anyone??

You need to unlock the bootloader. Flash a custom recovery with fastboot. Then root.
There's links to threads on all this here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711073
If you don't understand the instructions in the threads for each, you need to read more. Not much else anyone can do.
S-off is not necessary, nice to have, but not necessary. ?

thnx
ok thanks so me thinking for some reason that because it is on android 4.4.4 that it cant be done yet isnt right?

You should be able to unlock bootloader, and once done, you're set.

S-off with sunshine may or may not work... But just for root and roms, S-off isn't required.

help again
when i try to use htc dev and click fastboot file it comes up AdbWinApi.dll is missing, can anyone help?

This is in the Verizon section, but same thing. You need to reinstall Adb, something is missing/corrupt.

Rule #1 of the forums: Search Before Posting
"You get this message" isn't the message you got.
Download TWRP from here.
Rename it to recovery.img
Place it into your fastboot folder.
Hook up to adb/fastboot.
Issue the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Reboot.
Done.

As my first post here, I wanted to make it something helpful. Anyway, you will need to find the stock recovery and use fastboot to put it on. Sorry, don't know where you would look to find one, maybe someone has one here?

well as i understand you need to revert to device's stock condition
as far as i know only way to do it is by RUU or individually flashing every image. RUU is easily done but as you mentioned you get error messages try finding out what those error messages mean
common messages are
cant connect to device----ensure you are in fastboot usb mode
version problems----check weather you are using the right RUU (RUU is different for diferent regions) one RUU can have more than one versions so be sure which one you need
and you also need to lock you bootloader before running RUU
let me know if anything works
take a complete backup and make a goldcard just in case..you never know what may happen

Actually, this 's-on' and 's-off' is very much important. You can flash any stock rom with s-off but not that easily with s-on. I'm a noob so I can't really explain further. Search for it!

or if its in .exe file.first try installation wizard if its fail.again start installation wizard and then keep it on dont update bootloader just go to temp folder.(C:\Users\​[LoginName]\​AppData\​Local\​Temp​\​{82B23FCD-D5D0-45CA-A3A2-5350D3926551}) in this you will have see rom.zip file extract it.you ll find
recovery.img,boot.img and system.img then,
remove battery (power +volume down) to going in hboot then click on fastboot then plug your phone usb with computer open cmd and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
you can see fastboot file in your extracted zip.by this way you manually port stock rom.i tried it and it successfully possible.but i use my original stock rom,ages when i used europe rom it failed.

and s-on or s-off.there are many difference between twos.i dont know much i m also noob here.but with s-off you can change your hboot,radio and many customization but with s-on its difficult i think.so i recommand you to flash your orginial stock rom if you are s-on.i have s-on phone so my phone wont remove cwm with any other stock roms and its got failed.so mind this thing.and know more about s-on and s-off read this.

I solved my problem using flashy program. it's very useful. I get the recovery.img from a stock rom's .zip, then flashed.

Only benefit is that you can unlock it, and are then able to fastbot flash recoveries and boot images.

I'm so thankful that cmlusco had these simple words listed here. I was trying without success to flash a recovery via hboot.92 to no avail. I am s-off and rooted running tinys cm10.1. The problem started when i wanted to use twrp as a recovery. I tried installing that in android itself with goomanager. It said it was successful so tried to reboot into recovery. no dice. it now doesn't even have cwm recovery which was what i was trying to replace. it just goes back into hboot. so i thought, "ok, i'll just adb it" again either with shell in android or via fastboot in hboot it says remote failed. this one line he just wrote tells me that despite everything i have, i cannot install via hboot. The only thing that works is having a pb31img file to install it. the problem is, most recoveries come in .img. so I thought i could just repackage it as a zip and use the txt from another twrp i had previously gotten to work by way of a pb31img and create my own new pb31img with the newest version (the old one i had was already made by someone else and installs flawlessly). basically now i'm curious if i should just ask how to make the newest twrp into a proper pb31img file to flash (since i know this works) or is there an easy way to upgrade hboot.092 to 1.07? Any help on either of these or both subjects would be greatly appreciated. Just for the record cmlusco, am i right in thinking the reason i can't fastboot flash my recovery is because my loader is locked somehow despite being rooted and s-off? will upgrading to hboot 1.07 enable all of what i want to do? Also, what's the best way to go about doing this? I have everything i need backed up so no worries there. Thanks in advance to any and all help!

Correct you can not fastboot flash unless your bootloader is unlocked. Since your s-off you can update the bootloader by flashing this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_1.07/PB31IMG.zip, thru hboot. Once updated, you can unlock it and then flash img files with fastboot.
However, here is the TWRP 2.4.1.0 PB31IMG.zip http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.4.1.0/PB31IMG.zip, if you dont want to update the bootloader. You may need to flash it two or three times to get it to take.

Thanks to you and tiny for such a quick and simple response. pb31img used and updated perfectly! Just curious, cmlusco, in your signature i noticed you on hboot 1.07 but it's locked. Any particular reason for having it locked? I have yet to update mine but i did download and organize the pb31 hboot img you gave me for possible future use ( if i feel the need). Other than the aformentioned advantage of flashing hboot via fasboot and adb, is there any other advantage of hboot 1.07? Thanks again guys, you make my life easier.

Not really, S-OFF should get you what you need. You only miss the ability to flash via fastboot without an unlocked HBOOT. PB31IMG.zip works fine with S-OFF.

Need help to go back to stock

Hello all, I've been a lurker in the shadows for many months using the amazing expertise on this board for my different devices. So here I am needing help and hence my first post.
I basically bought a Verizon HTC One and now have issues that I need to return the phone for warranty. I used the rumrunner process to unlock my bootloader and s-off. I have proceeded to delete most of the bloatware (probably not an issue but just trying to give as much of the backstory as possible) but I have kept the phone stock other than that (no custom ROMs). I did install Clockwork recovery 6.0.4.4 (not touch). When my phone reboots, I do have the red text at the bottom. I believe that is all really. I have attached a pic of my bootloader screen if that helps. I just need to know exactly what steps to follow to return it to stock out of the box. Sorry if this has been answered before but there are so many different threads with what seems like other issues. You guys don't know how much I appreciate the help in advance, Thanks!
I am in the exact same situation...so far from what I can tell the problem is getting stock recovery and being able to get s-on back

If you guys have an unlocked bootloader you can pull stock recovery.IMG out of the decrypted RUU zarboz posted and that will get you back to stock recovery. You need to have the fastboot and adb files from htcdev. Just copy that recovery.img to your fastboot directory and use (dont type cmd: ) cmd: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Once you have stock recovery and are absolutely dead set on sending the phone in for warranty repairs you can flash that decrypted RUU via RUU mode. The instructions for flashing the RUU are in Zarboz's thread. Once you flash that there is a tool that gets rid of the red lettering and spoofs the system into saying s-on even if it isn't.
OR once you get back to stock recovery you can download the signed zip I tracked down. I'll post that link once I get home.

Really? Odd. As far as the adb and fastboot files get on HTCDev and download the SDK. HTCDev actually gives you the instructions on the site.

Trying to root device using AIO toolkit by Hasoon. SuperSU not getting pushed to SD.

Hi,
I'm trying to use hasoon2000's AIO toolkit in order to root my HTC One M8 (T-Mobile). I am following the guide outlined in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066390
I've flashed the recovery, all that I need to do now is click "Perm Root" to push supersu.zip onto my phone, and then use the recovery to install the zip. However, when I click perm root, i get the following message:
failed to copy 'su/supersu.zip' to '/sdcard/supersu.zip' permission denied
Click to expand...

After I go to the recovery, I see supersu.zip there, and I flash it using the recovery, but I don't think it is a full and proper installation because when I enter supersu from my phone, it is telling me that "binaries" are not installed. I am assuming this is because of the denied permissions. USB debugging is definitely on. Any advice?

Does it also tell you to click a button to update the binaries? Do that.
Also, why are you using a toolkit? Rooting the M8 is super easy.
I always suggest to never use toolkits unless there is no other option to gain root. Usually for cheap third world devices like Micromax.
EDIT:
Here:
Go to this link, and download the "UPDATE SuperSU.zip" onto your phone.
Flash it in recovery.
Find it in your app drawer and open it.
Update the binaries.
You are now rooted.

If you are running Lollipop, the SuperSU version that comes with the toolkit is quite obsolete, and won't work anyway.
Just download the current (2.46) version SuperSU and flash it like xunholyx says.

What happens if you type the command: fastboot devices
The response should be the phone ID; which corresponds to your serial number, I believe, so do NOT post it.

Why are you trying to flash in recovery mode? You need to be in fastboot mode to flash via fastboot.
Have you got the proper fast boot drivers?

One M8 stuck on black screen with HTC logo and a triangle in each corner

I can't post what it looks like as I'm new here, but when I can I will.
I can't do anything from here. The problem arose a few weeks when I was trying to covert from GPE back to stock, after doing a factory reset in the bootloader I got stuck like this, and I haven't been able to fix it since.
I can't use adb as USB debugging isn't enabled since there is literally no android on my phone.
Fastboot works, but I can't reboot into bootloader or fastboot or whatever it is via fastboot reboot-bootloader, as when I try it just turns the screen off and takes me back to here. I also can't get to the bootloader or fastboot via power and volume buttons.
I also can't flash anything, and can't reboot into TWRP recovery, which I somehow managed to install but I forgot how.
The bootloader is relocked, but it is still s-off and rooted if that helps.
Really not sure what to do, I need my phone back, any help would be appreciated.
Also, when I flash an RUU, it does everything and then comes up saying
FAIL51 partition update fail
FAILED (remote: 51 partition update fail)
Okay, I'm not sure if this will work but please try to just boot twrp or stock recovery with the following command:
Code:
fastboot boot image.img
It seems like it does this because your bootloader is relocked
I've managed to fix everything.. Almost.
Now I can get into TWRP, and use adb push to get cm12 onto my device, but when i hit install on TWRP it just says unable to mount /data, /system and storage.
It's the latest version of TWRP and I don't know what to do. Maybe my phone isn't rooted anymore? How can I root it with no OS?

Now I can get into TWRP, and use adb push to get cm12 onto my device, but when i hit install on TWRP it just says unable to mount /data, /system and storage.
It's the latest version of TWRP and I don't know what to do. Maybe my phone isn't rooted anymore? How can I root it with no OS?

I think you don't exactly know what root is. Root access is a type of access the running OS has to alter the system partition.
You do not root a phone, you root the running software ! An unlocked bootloader, custom recovery has nothing to do with root access.
You do not need to root it, you need to flash or restore an OS, whether it's rooted or not.

The bootloader is relocked, but it is still s-off and rooted if that helps.

YOu can't flash anything with a relocked bootloader. That is what a relocked or locked bootloader means. You need to unlock it again to flash anything.
Thanks for the help guys, I got it myself in the end. I flashed CWM instead of TWRP and used adb sideload to flash CM12 and Gapps and everythings working fine.
If anyone in future has the same black screen issue with the 4 triangles and stumbles across this thread, message me on this

Install those two stuff .. type command
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This will get you to bootloader
If you have bootloader screen.. you need custom recovery to install custom rom
If you have black screen, you need to run RUU for your device.
And this is wrong forum for your device. You should be able to find stuff for your device in HTC Amaze 4G forum.

You need to be in bootloader-fastboot mode, for fastboot commands to work.
Reboot to bootloader. If "fastboot" is not already highlighted in red near the top, select fastboot with vol keys and confirm with power button.
