Verizon m8 lollipop s-off stock just want wifi - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really have no big need for root besides being able to use WiFi tethering. I had rooted my phone before but went back to stock and got OTA Lollipop 5.01 but now foxfi is broken and really miss the capability. Not willing to pay Verizon for bandwidth I already paid for. I booted to recovery and it says I have s-off.
My question is: what is the simplest way to get the root. I really am not into spending time with daily builds etc. Just want my WiFi!

Put TWRP back on the phone again. Download the latest SuperSU to your phone, and flash it in TWRP.

Flash what? I have twrp and SuperSU installed.

You asked the simplest way to root. If you flashed SuperSU, you are rooted.

OK, I'm confused. I have the SuperSU and twrp GUIs installed. Is this something I do in recovery?

Did you only install SuperSU app from the Play Store? If so, that in itself does not give you root. You may be able to root the phone by opening the app, and picking the option to install the SU binary. But to be honest, I've never done it that way, so I'm not sure.
The way I've always done it (if I'm not using a custom ROM, which are already rooted) is to download the SuperSU zip. Here is the latest stable version: http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
Than just boot into TWRP recovery, select the Install option, then browse to the SuperSU zip and flash it.

Got root, not tether
OK, I got it together to install TWRP via fastboot, and have SuperSu installed. CheckRoot says I have root. Unfortunately, I can't install the EnableDefaultTether.zip which worked with 4.4.x The zip I have seems to be dated May 15, 2014 although that might be when I downloaded it.
Is there an updated version of this for Lollipop on Verizon HTC One M8?
Thanks

Well I could not get the old wifi hack to work so I sprung for wifi tether router ($5). It works fine and worth the money since the old hack does not seem to work on Lollipop.
Is there an update to the write to external sd card hack for Lollipop?

Newb Needs help - Wifi Tether

I've read through these forums and even had a coworker who has done this for a while try to help me, but still not able to get it.
I followed the guide here
It works perfectly step by step using ClockworkdMod Recovery.

My only need to do this is to use the Wireless Tether. I downloaded it from code.google... site (i did search for the one compatible with the EVO). But I'm getting this error:
I then followed this link here to unroot the phone which worked fine.
I then attempted the guide again with Amon Ra recover, and i'm still getting the same issue. I've even downloaded Root Explorer to try and remove Superusers, but it would not give me overwrite ability because it said i was in read only (unrooted) status.
Any help or suggestions would be VERY grateful!
If you're s-off, you need to flash the Superuser zip through recovery, or flash a rooted rom. Without Superuser (and possibly busybox) installed, you won't be able to use root apps such as wireless tether or root explorer.
I did flash superusers through the recovery, but it never asks for permission when I start the tether.
I did this on my Samsung Epic, and it would always state SU was giving permission. I'm getting nothing on this.
You have to flash superuser apk and binary for superuser to work and u need to make sure u get super user efghi from androidsu.com and the matching efghi binary then go to the superuser app and update binary to make sure u have the latest to function properly
Edit: u will possible have to flash a custom kernel to get access yo wireless tether as well or you could simply flash a rom with the hotspot hack and have no need for wireless tether at all as sprint hotspot will work then

[Q] Rooting problems

Hello i've some problem with my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2.
Last week i updated my phone on Android 4.3 version.
Unfortunelly i had a wifi bug and I couldn't connect to internet, so I decided to downgrade it to 4.1.2. I've flashed my stock ROM with the newest one. (thanks to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102380 )
Afterward, i would rooting my phone and install custom binary CWM by this thread, option 2.
However i can't modifiy system files. I consequently would verify my status root by Titanium Backup. And that's really strange because it is already rooted.

So i'd like to know how to resolve my problem, i how to modify system files?
(PS: sorry for my bad English!)
PS2: That's the same thing if i connect it on SSH/FTP protocols, unable to modify too.
I have T889 version and I just updated today with 4.3 with no problem.
I would say the best thing is just start from scratch and reinstall your app.
I don't even use TB anymore, I used to but I just happen to run into problem a lot.
I decided to just reinstall apps everytime I flash rom.

So, do you advise me to re-install the 4.1.2 version and re-root again?
update: I've re-installed and re-rooting my stock rom and nothing has changed. Can you help me please?

Try using the Odin again and when you full wipe don't even do anything just update to the original 4.3 via Tmobile.
After that install CWM or TWRP, Like I said I never had any issues installing Rom back and forth.
Just don't skip a step and never rush things.

TowelRoot... Philz recovery has a one click root. Plenty of options. NDC is what your firmware is called BTW.

What I just told you to do (Philz Recovery, use the one that ends in ".tar.md5" in Odin- turn off auto reboot in Odin, it helps) then hit Reroot in Philz Settings after you get into Recovery, go into the Play Store and download SuperSU and go into the app and update binaries. This method is tried and true for your device.
My ROM: WICKED X
Do you have a link to the Philz root page?
I'll try it if I feel like it's not gonna brick my phone. Never had to root through Odin..
Thanks

All major initial root methods always ask you to flash a custom recovery through Odin always.
What he explained is correct you are just going to flash Phil's custom recovery then boot it into recovery click re-root and once booted install SU and update binaries.

[REQ] Stable method of Snapchat installation with 7.1.1+ root.

Hello everyone, (yes I used the search bar)
I cannot seem to find an efficient method of installing Snapchat on a 7.1.1 OS that allows Snapchat to verified.
I would be thankful beyond measure if someone could point me in the right direction.
I am only asking because Viper4Android is so necessary that I cannot choose between the trade off of using Snapchat or V4A.
Regards,
ab
Iam using my Titanium Backup just fine
I am finding it difficult to find a proper tutorial as well. It seems though if I mess up the app installation, that I would have to go through the entire rooting process again....
Hello, you can simply unroot from SuperSu (or your root app), install Snapchat, and re-root.
I tried something, Titanium backup, app to hide the root status, but in the end I found that this is the simpliest thing... IMHO

Yes, and it seems that I can get it working for a short period of time until I am forced to re root and flash all image files again...

Really? I've rooted like two months ago, unrooted, installed Snapchat and rooted again.
If it can help, I'm registered to Snapchat beta.

Did something change in 7.1.1.?
I went into SuperSU on a clean root install and clicked and disabled the 'Enable superuser", then installed Snapchat, logged in, and re-enabled the option.

SM-T320: Odin Failure while trying to root

Hey all,
First time I'm trying to root this device, and a long time since I've rooted any device, so I'm a bit rusty ...
While trying to flash with Odin, I'm getting this error (looks like a write permissions error?)

This is what's shown on the device after:
The current firmware on the device is the stock 4.4.2, and I'm using the latest CF Root for it: cfar_samsung_sm-t320_mondrianwifiue_kot49h.t320ues1aqa2_t0
Update:
I also went to updato.com, grabbed my latest firmware, flashed it in Odin (it passed), then re-tried the above: result was the same as above.
Any idea what step I should take next?
TIA

It's been so long i can't even remember the steps i took but if i were to do it right now I would probably flash twrp in odin, reboot directly to recovery and flash supersu.

Thanks, but you have to root before you can install a custom recovery; I'm stuck at trying to get the chainfire root installed.
I'm still stuck, anyone have any other advice?

Nope. I always flash root with custom recovery on every single device I've own which is alot.
If you bothered to follow that guide i included you would see that too. But ok...

Hi, sorry for reviving an old thread but I had this issue last night and wanted to share how I resolved it
I have the same T320UES1AQA2 model but couldn't get the CF autoroot to work either. I ended up going into recovery (Power + Vol Up + Home) wiping data and then flashing CF-Auto-Root-mondrianwifi-mondrianwifixx-smt320.zip which worked perfectly.
I know this is super late but hope it helps and anyone else who stumbles across this
