No offense against the guys that write these toolkits to make it "easier" but, stay away from it if you can, you don't really learn anything by using these toolkits.
That said,
Try and unlock the bootloader manually, as shown once when you sign up to htcdev.com and follow their instructions to get bootloader unlocked. OR
You can go for Sunshine S-OFF ($25) it roots, unlocks bootloader and gives S-OFF all-in-one.

It technically only temp-roots. You still have to fully root using a custom recovery or adb push. However, once the bootloader is unlocked, that is fairly simple.
I would actually suggest that as an upgrade, though. It would be nice if, at the tail end of the process, Sunshine would offer to permanently root the phone.

Hi.
Now I unlocked the bootloader manually and installed twrp as custom recovery. After this I installed SuperSU over twrp to get root.
*//
All works fine, but I have a little problem.
Now i cant take screenshots. If I try, I get the message that no screenshot can be taken because the app can´t save them.
Does anyone have some ideas how I can fix it?
//*
Fixed "Created a folder called screenshot1 and delete the other screenshot folder. Once it is deleted remove the "1" so it still only Screenshot."
Additionally, I want to make the SD-Card writeable for all apps, has someone a link to tutorial?

[Q] HTC one M8 OTA update issue lollipop

Hello all,
I am new to all this, techy stuff, and have recently bought a htc one m8. I had it rooted for me, but I didn't want to pay for GPE. I then found out Lollipop has been released, and tried to get it by going into software info on settings, but I couldn't get the lollipop update, as my phone says 'Your phone software is up to date with the latest version'. I realised that because of my root, my phone wasn't on the same channel as it was on before. I found another way to get lollipop, but that meant buying sunshine for $25. Is there another free alternative? I thought I could unroot my phone, then reroot it, but I do not know how to unroot, get update then reroot. Can I please get help?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist, in order to help you effectively I need to know which variant of the M8 you have please.

I have the gsm version

Ok, so it's not carrier branded at all?

no its not.
Going back to my question, i have actually found out my fone is on s-off bcus i had to unlock bootloader to root, meanin my fone is rooted with s-off. However, i would like to get gpe on my fone so i can get lollipop. Only issue is, the other methods do it on a normal htc one m8, not on a rooted htc one m8. Are the nethods the same meaning i can use the normal gpe conversion methods on my prerooted htc one m8, or do i need another method?

Thanks for the extra information, I'm actually asking you these questions for a reason, XDA Assist isn't a general technical support section so I needed to know exactly which variant you have in order to have this thread redirected correctly for you.

Unlocking your bootloader doesn't make you S-Off. Boot into your bootloader to check.
To get into bootloader, turn off your phone. Then hold down the power button plus vol down till your phone boots back up. You'll get a readout there that will tell you if you are S-Off or S-On.
If you can confirm that you are S-Off, I will guide you to converting your phone to GPE.

You can't use moonshine. The ONLY way to get s-off on this device is sunshine.

Yes, Sunshine, V3. And you are better off without the 5.0, if you want to S-OFF. Sunshine will most likely work on 4.4.4, and issues will appear while trying to S-OFF the Lollipop.

I have got my phone on bootloader, and I have a custom recovery file. However, I cannot seem to enter recovery mode. As I go to 'HBOOT' then 'RECOVERY' it shows the htc screen, but then it loads back to the bootloader screen. I have tried getting Hasoon's Toolkit and going into bootloader from here, and I have also tried getting a bat file and running that on my pc with my phone connected to it, same result. However, before this problem occurred, I had a message pop up, but this happened only once. This is what the message said:
SD Checking…
No Gift File…
Loading … ( OP6BDIAG.zip)
No image!
Loading … ( OP6BDIAG.nbh)
No image or wrong image!
Loading … ( OP6BIMG.zip)
Loading … ( OP6BIMG.nbh)
No image or wrong image!
After this, when I tried to go into recovery, the issue had then first occurred. Any suggestions on what to do? I have tried using a toolkit, a bat file, doing it through bootloader, and getting an app. Also, how can I clear my cache through bootloader?

Fastboot erase cache

No need to unroot for OTA. And it's free anyhow.

Ok. You say no need to unroot for its, but I have my phone rooted, but I cannot get lollipop which was released 3 weeks ago on HTC one m8. Please help me so I can get OTA updates.

You need a stock rom and recovery. So either 1 or both are not stock. Go to the thread where you have been already (the stock backup thread in the general section) and read up in there. All info and what you need to do is written down there.
Edit :
Ah just not getting notified for the update ? Like been said, wait for them to push. Or there is a custom (stock like) rom on your phone. If thats the case my first part stands

Which thread? Please send a link?

[q] busybox not installing on htc desire 820

I am rooted my htc desire 820 after that i installed lucky patcher after that i try to installed busybox which is necessary for lucky patcher, but busybox unable to installed, somebody give me solution for this.

Wait for S-OFF Tool
Since this is a relatively new model, developers haven't figured out how to bypass HTC's Security Kernel. When you boot into Fastboot, you will notice that it says 'S-ON' at the top of the screen. Given time, developers will release a tool allowing you to bypass HTC's security measures and you will achieve 'S-OFF'. I'm sorry to say, but until you have achieved S-OFF, you won't be able to make optimal use of your rooted device. Kindly wait and allow developers to work their magic.

Hey bro thanks for your reply, hope developer finds some good solution for new device to bypass security. One more problems I face that when ever I try to use freedom app or Busybox installation my mobile gets restart. Is this because s-on?

what about firewater s off process???/

Although I can understand your eagerness to make full use of root priviledges, try to understand the situation first, the freedom engine requires Busybox which is a custom binary that allows the user to make modifications to the kernel's command line which can prove to be destructive for your device if you do not know what you are doing. HTC's S-ON Security kernel prevents the user from making drastic modifications to the command line and rejects the installation of BusyBox. This is why your phone restarts constantly.
The Firewater S-OFF tool you speak of is a discontinued project that does not officially support HTC Models that have launched recently. Although you are free to try whether the tool works on your model, it is a safer option to wait for a developer to post a verified source, which will take some time. My advise is, if you are willing to risk turning your phone into an expensive paperweight, go ahead and try the firewater tool, otherwise, try to use the phone normally till someone posts a verified S-OFF tool. Its a new phone, spend some time with it, get to know the features of the stock rom, I'm sure it's worth waiting for a couple more weeks.

ok...... let me inform when the procedure available for htc to s-off......

Ok i understood it. The thing is that in order to flash stock rom we need:
1.RUU.exe for htc desire 816 dual sim india[Not available]
2. Stock Rom [Available]
3. Stock recovery[Available]
4. Fastboot commands like
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flash recovery (recoveryname).img
[Ok this is also available]
Since the stock RUU is not available there is no way in which you can revert back to stock.
So I went to hTc service centre they told me that they cannot help me since my device is *TAMPERED*. They told me the only solution is to change the motherboard which will give you stock.
Even i mailed hTc about the problem they told me that reverting back to stock is not possible("Officially".coz they havent released the ruu for us. Actually its possible if you have ruu. But they wont give u ruu.).
They told the same reason that my device is tampered.
SOLUTION:
What i did:
Unlocked my bootloader by following steps on hTC dev site
Flashed TWRP by followings steps on twrp site for a5
(Luckily i had cm12 )So it booted into system.
But if you dont have any rom, then flash it thru recovry.
SO BASICALLY WE ARE STUCK ON CUSTOM ROM, UNTILL THEY RELEASE RUU.

this is bull****; they can and they will fix your device even if it's tampered. they do have all the required files, no motherboard change is needed. you'll just have to assure them that it's your responsibility, and that you'll pay the cost. If you can 't come to an agreement with your local hTC care, try another one. try writing to hTC support and/or customer experience/social media. explain your problem to them, they will come around. even if they don't at last, there are third party service shops that have the required files and can fix your phone(atleast where I live). I've heard that some even do it over the internet for you
cost of mobo change is usually 1/2 to 2/3 of the price of the device

We do not provide support for rooting and unlocking the bootloader." "I would like to inform you that we cannot help you with the RUU file ."

HTC One M9 bootloader unlocking

Hi, I currently have a Samsung GS4 and I am pretty pissed about how it doesn't have an unlocked bootloader. I was wondering, if I can run out to Verizon now and buy a HTC One M9 if I can unlock it and install cyanogenmod 12 onto it (eventually). WIthout buying a special verizon, is this possible?

Nope. Vzw doesn't allow boot loader unlocking. You will need to wait for sunshine app to update or seek out a user who has a Java card. @bschram is your closest user that has one.

Verizon has HTC block their devices on HTC dev. Non vzw devices are fine.
Sunshine doesn't support vzw m9 or even the m8 if it has the latest os yet. Sunshine for the non Verizon m9 requires unlocking boot loader through HTC dev.
Make sense this time?

On the vzw m9 sunshine support will come when they figure out how to enable root and flip the s flag off all in one shot.
Your other alternative is to buy the phone and send it to a user who has a Java card. That process involves putting a special card in your SD slot and running see commands. You will end up with s-off and bootloader unlocked with that.

With a NON Verizon HTC m9...unlock your boot loader through HTC dev....then you run sunshine to get S-OFF...once there you can do whatever you want...flash custom roms already rooted....stay stock Sense and flash whatever supersu you need for root...basically the world is your oyster at that point...lol
Verizon M9 should eventually get there (sunshine S-OFF), but until it does the java card S-OFF is the only way...and there are plenty of fine fellows here that can assist you if you so choose.
With that method..after you are S-OFF...you can run an adb command to unlock your boot loader and then from there the same as above.

Full service crew!

Only problem you will have afterwards is finding a Verizon CM12 ROM. Because as of now, this is what we have to work with...nothing. And from what I've heard, cm is no longer unifying devices. All I'm saying is its gonna be a bit of a road. However, if you don't mind waiting and running a sense based custom ROM for a while, then get it and have @dottat unlock everything for ya! I'm actually about to send him mine!

I don't know if any of you guys have heard of towelroot, but it only works for kitkat samsung devices on verizon, it might be possible that geohot will release an update for lollipop s5. and maybe someone will adapt that to fit the HTC One M9.
