I don't normally post question. Figuring out how to do things is half the fun. But I've searched everywhere and I've not been able to find a root method for the M8 GPe. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's the GPe. To unlock the bootloader I just used fastboot oem unlock. I just need root. Philz Touch Recovery is only for the m8, m8spr, and m8vzw. I guess what I need is both a way to root the device and a custom recovery to install.
Can I push root through adb like the Nexus 5? And is there a recovery for the m8gpe?

It's all the same, you can use the normal M8 recovery.

You can flash su.zip through recovery or let recovery do it automatically, I think CWM and Philz touch detect and offer to root your stock rom. I know TWRP does.
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...
Click to collapse
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.

Hi Xunholyx,
I've got a similar issue when I try to root mu M8.
My phone is Unlooked and S-Off but when I try to send the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" I get the message "permission denied".

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.

Confirm in bootloader, that is says UNLOCKED.
What hboot number, and what version TWRP are you trying to flash?

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?

I installed cyanogenmod 13, and wanted to restore the stock rom, so I flashed the right ruu.zip file using an external sd card. Now the phone always boots to the bootloader. I can access TWRP and download mode but the rom does not boot.
The same thing happens when I install android revolution hd or viperone.
That's weird...though you know that already! Did the RUU install successfully?

fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
Replace TWRP.img with the path where the twrp.img is located for you.
If you are not familiar with fastboot commands and recoverries, start reading here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/guide-root-install-twrp-htc-one-m9-t3061133
Once you have Twrp Recovery installed, you can restore a backup, of you previously made one.
If not you will have to search such a backup someone else made of your software version.
Good luck!

No, you can't. It's too big for the format of the internal storage. It can't handle the file.
And the rooting guide you linked earlier in this thread is outdated. Using the files from that guide will lead to a bootloop.

Thanks for the reply.
He doesn't want to root, just to restore the os.
So, if he uses the twrp backup in your thread on an SD card, he will have his os back (it's not one of the corrupt ones).

Even if the OP doesn't want to root there might be other users who read this thread and see the link. If they follow the guide they will end up with a bootloop. That's why I stated/warned that the guide is outdated.
Either he uses the backup or a RUU. There are more than enough RUUs he could use since his firmware is quite old.
None of the backups is corrupt. And all broken RUUs that I know of aren't linked in my thread.

It is definitely the right one, extracted from a 2.41.400.5 RUU by the user who shared this. As mentioned you should power up your phone normally and let the ota install.
If it's not happening that way then your ota file might be corrupted and I would suggest that you RUU back to stock if you can't boot into Android or your backup cannot be restored somehow.

That is the Nougat RUU for your device. You should be able to use this to get back to stock nougat and take OTAs to Oreo. Currently no Oreo RUU is available for the Indian version so this is the only route.
Just download the file and rename it 2PS6IMG.zip, place it in the root directory of your SD card and flash it in download mode.
