That's all I know to do. I know this won't help you now but, next time make a nandroid as soon as you flash twrp, before you do any mods at all. Maybe someone else with more knowledge can help you. Good luck, I hope you get it fixed!

That doesn't sound right. After you flashed the nandroid, if you are not rooted twrp may have asked you if you want to install supersu. Did you swipe to install? I would try reflashing the nandroid and make sure not to install supersu in twrp.

if you're going to return it, why not just flash RUU back to stock.

[Q] New to rooting, possibly bricked my phone

Hi,
I used the all-in-one tool kit to root my M8. I was following the steps involved and was successful. I tried to install the xposed framework and was told to flash a custom kernel. After doing so my phone will only boot into the fastboot menu, with the "tampered" warning at the top. I can get into the recovery through hboot. Is my phone ruined and if not how can I get this fixed?
Sorry if this has been asked before but I am quite nervous that I ruined my phone. Any help would be much appreciated.
Just restore a back up through recovery or if you don't have one then sideload a rom with that toolkit you used.

what mod were you trying to install from xposed that required a custom kernel? I have it on mine and was never prompted for that!

There are stock roms you can sideload, or find the RUU for your device and return back to 100% stock.

Now you are installing mods?????
Have you got your system up and running again? You need to provide more details.....
Did you attain S-Off?
I think he needs write access.
I could be wrong though.

advice please

was wondering can i just root my m8 without flashing recovery all i want is to install adaway to block ads thats if someone could please advise
Depending on what build you are on (newer ones can't go it), you may be able to fastboot boot recovery instead of flashing recovery. Once booted into recovery, you can flash SU or SuperSU.
You need to be bootloader unlocked either way. So I actually don't see a point in doing what you ask. Once you root, you can always install stock recovery again.

but as redpoint73 said you have to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery.

That is not exactly what I said. If the phone is 4.4.3 or 4.4.2, OP should be able to fastboot boot recovery without flashing it. Then flash SU/SuperSU. I've seen others do it this way, although I personally don't see much point to it.
But yes, bootloader still needs to be unlocked.

Booting it instead of flashing it is better if you want to make a backup of stock recovery. Especially if it's Philz that you're booting since TWRP doesn't seem to make backups of the stock recovery anyways.
Using the dd command to make a "copy" of the recovery works if you're rooted and to be rooted you have to have custom recovery which doesn't help much since you lose stock recovery the moment you flash the custom one, but if you boot it and root then at least you can use the dd command if that is the way you want to make a "backup" of your stock recovery. Silly little circle to run around in

Yes, I was aware of that; although it didn't seem to be the OP's goal. But thanks for pointing it out for their benefit.
thanks everyone for advice im sure i will get it right just one more quick question can you still upgrade with OTA when rooted or is it like other phones where you can not

To get updates you need a stock ROM unmodified, it can be rooted just do not mess with build.prop or platform.xml. However, to be able to install updates you need a stock recovery.

As long as you have a stock recovery it's all good. But even if you have a custom one, before doing the update install a custom recovery. Make the update, and after that if you want flash again a custom recovery.

[Q] [IMPORTANT] Is there any way I can root htc one m8 Lolipop 5.0?

Someone if you know and tested it, can I root my htc one m8 device having the new firmware updated 5.0.1 lolipop??
Please anwser and if there is a way please send a link
THANKS A LOTTT!!
It's exactly the same as before.
Look for how do I root here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711073
You unlock bootloader. Flash a custom recovery... I suggest twrp. It will ask you when you exit if you want to root. Say yes.
Boot into android, install supersu if it or superuser aren't there already. (from play store)
Or just flash recovery . Install a rom , likely rooted already.

thanks for that but when I did it in my phone it says su binary out of date! what can I do now?
Can you explain everything you did, beginning to end. And exactly when/where you get that message?
I had already TWRP in my phone so I download your files. Opened the recovery and I did from there (install). When it finished rebooted the device and after that when i did a root check it said root access not properly install or sometihing

Open the SuperSU app, and it will prompt you to install the binaries. Select yes, of course.

If it asks to update with a "normal" and "twrp/cwm" option... Try normal first. The other option if that doesn't work.

I tried the normal it didnt work, how I do the second, I pressed it but nothing happened!
I don't think you have twrp installed anymore, or not properly. You've flashed it with fastboot, since updating to lollipop? How did you update to lollipop?
Normal, I never had root before. Upgraded my phone to 5.0 and then i tried to root it
Rooted fine here with normal method. Just had to update super su.
OK, can you please walk us through exactly what steps to Root you took. From the beginning. And we'll see what happened.

I Have a Few Questions About Rooting My HTC One M9

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the android scene when it comes to the rom and rooting side of things so I just have a few questions about Sunshine and the whole process in general. Sorry if this may have already been asked but after a quick search many of the answers to these questions seem to be outdated.
1. Do you need to be rooted in order to use Sunshine?
2. If I do, is there any method to root my phone? I can't seem to find any without paying some money.
The only reason why I would want to root my phone is so I can use Titanium root and back up my data.​
3. Do I have the order right?
Use Sunshine (gains S-off/unlocks bootloader)​Install a custom recovery (TWRP)​Super SU (Does this root my phone?)​Install Cyanogenmod​
4. If I have the order correct, at what point should I backup my data and when would my data get wiped?
5. And if I'm backing up my data should I back it up to my SD card and remove it, or do something else?
Once again, I'm sorry if most of the answers to these questions seem obvious but this is my first time tampering with my phone so I would appreciate any help!
Ok so a little update, I used sunshine, installed twrp, and tried to flash super su but I got stuck on a bootloop. Any help? I tried wiping the cache/dalvik.

The latest supersu zip will give you a bootloop. The previous version works fine. I don't have it anymore but you will need to download a rom and flash it.

that's a pretty exotic manner to root your device lol (I guess you meant TWRP and not Twerk because I don't really want to think you twerked in front of your phone and gained root privilege instantly, no one is that attractive)

Wow I think you need to reset the whole thing... Do a backup before, and flash the stock rom with twrp. I'm not specialized in unbricking phones, I know that's an option but someone with more experience may know a way around the reset. Do some reserch on how to unbrick and if you don't find anything then just wipe and flash the stock rom (or a custom rom)
