Hey there, guys.
I got today an HTC one M8 and i figure that in the box it is labeled as M8X, so i am kinda confused.
I want to root, not S-OFF, but i have not any files downloaded like Fastboot, adb, etc, i use to have them long ago when i had my HTC One X but i lost the files and also the knowledge.
I'll appreciate if you can link me to some post in order to choose a root method, cause all those i see there are for Verizon or international and i'm not sure if they are gonna work for me.
Thanks in advanced.
Anyone?
Some pictures of whats software version its running on and maybe a picture of the phone. The more info you provide the faster someone will help you.

Quick google search shows the M8X as a taiwanese imported variant.. should work the same as all the others

That's good to know. I've been searching but all what i can find are some threads with "old" fastboot or adb drivers and i'm not sure if they will work as well at the time. I'll appreciate if you can link me to a thread to root.
Thanks in advance
Mods can delete - close this thread, i found a memory refresher here. Threads like that should be sticky on every sub forum for each variant.
Thanks for help, guys.

Hello all,
apologies if this has been covered previously, i couldn't find any steps that would guide me to update my HTC Hero to ICS (4.0.3). Please could anyone reply with the steps to upgrade or the link to the page where it has been covered.
Thorough search of the site didn't give me any helpfull results, so thought i would check with you all.
Thanks in advance.

Any luck on this ? I'm also interested!
Hi,
I rooted my HTC One V and deleted some bloatware (flickr, ebay etc.) and now, even after relocking my phone and resetting it to factory settings, I can no longer install software updates because I'm missing these stock apps. From what I understand I have to reflash my phone with a rom that matches the cid for my phone (O2__001), is that correct? Am I right in thinking that I'm looking for a UK O2 shipped rom (x.xx.207.x)? If so, does anyone know where I might find one? I've searched everywhere (including this forum) and cannot find anything suitable.
I realise that it's my own fault for not making a proper back-up (lesson learnt!) but I'd be really appreciative of any help.
Thanks

I have found the sourcecode for the build on the htcdev website. Is it a bad idea to try and compile the rom myself (baring in mind that I'm obviously total noob when it comes to Android, but have quite a bit of experience running linux)? Does anyone have any advice about this?
Hey, I'll give you a link where you can download it, I've got backup of mine ...

Hi, did a search for my HTC One S on how to root and didn't find anything here. Is it the same as using the HTC One X rooting instructions for both from what I read? Any help would be appreciated, thx!

Pretty sure there's a HTC One S dedicated subforum on XDA with details on how to root, you're in One X.
Yes there is, i think you looked in the wrong way for a moment. I checked for you and i think you will find your answer here

Good luck :thumbup:
But please don't flash anything from here (htc one x forum) because you might brick the phone

Hey Guys ,
I have been waiting for so long for the RUU . Anyone has an idea when is it going to be available ?
I just want be confident if i missed the phone up i could bring it back to default with a single file without the hassle of recoveries and flashing stock
nothing yet ?
HTC have never really officially released RUUs for their phones, they've leaked from service centres/HTC staff in the past. Some US carriers do release them but the unbranded ones are like rocking horse sh*t!
I have it for the US unlocked version but the forum doesn't let me post links.
Why not? Seems weird as this is the place to share

A nandroid and firmware can give you almost everything an ruu can do.

You have to have so many posts before you can post links. Its to keep bots/people from spamming the forums.

Just find a "Show us your home screen" or "Pics taken with your phone" type of thread. One of the reasons those are there is to provide ways to help newer members reach their 10 posts. Pretty sure you're still able to add pics as an attachment when <10 posts.
This works on CID BS_US001 unlocked version:

if I were to downgrade (if i can) to 4.x.x then can i root and S-off the reason of the downgraded option is because i am on currently Verizon 5.1 sense 7.0. thanks for any input that may help me and others here that are looking for the same answers. there are no wrong or right answers here just options to help us all out.
Thanks Daniel ,

Not sure where you meant to post this but the highest HTC software version the vzw has is 3.X.X. There's still no software exploit for the m9 either so even if you somehow could downgrade there's nothing to downgrade for.
Thinking you are an m8 guy?

Nope not the m8 guy. i just bought my first htc phone since my last one about 12-15 years ago. i honestly did not know what to ask. that is why i am asking here. i have been a Samsung Galaxy person so long. HTC is all new to me again. I was hoping that if i could downgrade then i would be able to root my phone so there would be less headaches. I almost feel like a total noobie here.

OK. So no software exploit. There's a Java card thread in the general section where you can locate users who might be close enough to meet up or that you can ship your phone to in order to get s-off.
