Hello,
did anyone manage to root an HTC One M8 Dual SIM with the latest stock Android 4.4.4 on it? I had mine rooted with Sunshine, back when it had the 4.4.2 Android stock ROM. But since its official update, Sunshine won't work. Thank you for any hint on how to root the device.
You need an unlocked bootloader , custom recovery and the superuser zip file. S-off is NOT needed to root the software.
You do not root a phone, you root the running os
I have the unlocked HTC be m8. From India.
I have currently upgraded to latest lollipop version.
Have never rooted before and was willing to.
Can I follow the same steps as the KitKat version or there will be a seperate version of rooting for lollipop.
And I want to root and downgrade.
Help!
And what are the chances of bricking your phone.

The procedure is the same, read up a few guides on that. All you need to do after the standard procedure is restore my backup from the stock backups thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
You can't 100% downgrade without S-OFF, and that's apparently not available with Lollipop yet
I rootet my Phone HTC Desire 816G (Mediatek) with Iroot. I succesfully rootet it with that tool.
Then after a while i did a system update (OTA) . Then my root was gone and i was not able
to root it again . Tried all (!) Rooting Tools available. any Ideas?
I have no CWM or other Recovery things installed.
I've been waiting too long for the Android update on my HTC Desire 820s dual sim (India) model. Unfortunately HTC seem to be ignoring it.
It has Android 4.4.4. i saw this guide http://www.theandroidsoul.com/htc-desire-820-dual-sim-gets-android-5-0-lollipop-update-in-india-today-84783/#comments on how to manually update to Lollipop.
After I am in recovery mode,
I don't see "Install from sd card" menu
I see android logo with "No command"
I tried to do "Root Integrity check" and it failed. I think it is because of the Kingroot I had before.
Note: I had rooted via King root and have uninstalled Kingroot.
I tried factory reset of the phone and wipe data but still the root integrity check fails.
How can I flash this rom on my device. Any help would be appreciated

1.
You need to have your RUU zip filename identify with your device's MID and place it onto your SD card. The process "Install from SD card" will be automatically executed once you boot into bootloader and if it detects the zip file. It will be flashed by the process.
2.
Factory reset cannot remove root status in Android before MM. You must manually unroot or reflash the whole /system.

Thank you for replying.
Regarding
1. I tried to get the MID and CID but the boot loader is stuck in "Fastboot mode" screen. Where can one download the RUU files from?
2. How can I unroot? I can't find the version of android to reflash.

That guide is for Desire 820u (Qualcomm).
If you want to manually flash Lollipop with Sense 7 for Desire 820s you have to follow the guide in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/des...ock-lollipop-5-0-2-ruus-guide-mt6752-t3279089 but it has only about 6gb available storage since it is a stock firmware and is full of HTC Sense bloatware.
There is a Custom firmware form this thread as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-820/development/leaned-lollipop-desire-820s-mt6752-t3433518 which has been debloated with about 9Gb available storage

You need a computer to enter the command. The RUU can be found here on xda or on other sites just have a search on google and you will find some.
2.
Use any root tools out there with unroot feature.

Thanks.
I did Install again the KingRoot which I used before for root. I did root once again and then "un root". But still the recovery shows "No command" with exclamation and bootloader stuck in "Fastboot mode.."
I managed to check the MID and CID via an app called "CID Getter".
MID - 0PGZ10000
CID - HTC_044
I searched in Google for the RUU files for this MID but the one I got was for KitKat and not Lollipop or Marshmallow.
Any pointers?
This is really bad from HTC. The phone never got any update and been more than 1+ year.
OK I read the links and been reading the links on the internet.
IT is really confusing with the HTC 820 models available in the market with different chipset.
I have a HTC Desire 820s (Mediatek) India varaint.
MID - 0PGZ10000
CID - HTC_044
I really can't find the simple thing of ROM to flash. Samsung seem to be better in variants management
Can anyone help me on how to find a Lollipo / MM ROM for HTC Desire 820s (Mediatek) India varaint.
MID - 0PGZ10000
CID - HTC_044
Thanks
Hello XDA! I am wondering if there is a root method for the desire 626s and also possibly an s-off method too. My boot loader is unlocked and I am on Android 6.0.1
If u unlocked the bootloader,u can use the WINDROID PC tool to flash TWRP and root ur device. I did it. Just download it and run. Do the twrp flash and root. Best of luck
NB: There is no free s off method to my knowledge at this time.
