Please mind if anything I write/do on this forum is wrong. This is my first ever post on a forum and I know barely nothing about rooting a phone.
Unfortunately the carrier on my HTC One X, Orange UK, has not released the Android 4.2.2, Sense 5 update yet - and it's most likely that they are not going to. So I am looking to root my phone in order to get this update. I did look at flashing a custom ROM at first, but I'd prefer to get the official version. I did find something on the internet about changing the CID on my phone by rooting it, so that I could receive the official OTA update straight from HTC. Can someone please give me the dumbed-down version on how to do this? I will very much appreciate it.
Edit : wrong thread !
Well you can install a sense 5 custom rom. That's the easiest. If you want to update officially then unlocking and rooting is not going to help. And changing your cid is also impossible.
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

M8 EYE
Just bought this phone in China (I am British, Working in Beijing). The blink feed has lost many of its options and google play is obviously missing. I have spoken to HTC in Asia and the US and they basically say that you can't do anything about it as it was specifically made for China.

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.
Hello All,
So I have had my HTC One M8 since it's release all the way back to March/May. I've been using it and it's great and all and the Lollipop update is even better! I've set my mind on rooting because of seen some cools things such as the XPOSED Modules as well as a plethora of others such as Titanium Backup and Super SU(?).
I was wondering if there was any rom that would keep the Sense features/apps included with the phone but still have Lollipop and let me use icon packs and whatnot. Also if there are any guides to installing these said roms and what I should be wary of.
Thanks for the help!
bump
can anyone help me out!
Can anyone help me out please!?
Not to come off rude but have you read "General section"," Development section "
Each section will have it's own type of instructions/guides .it's a lot to read but you can benefit from the knowledge
