Hi,
I am from India and have just bought recently launched HTC One M8 Eye which is only available in China and India.
I want to know if I can root and install custom ROMs on it like any other M8. The only difference between them is a 13 Megapixel rear camera instead of a 4 UltraPixel camera. It has Snapdragon 801 clocked at 2.3 Ghz, which I think is the same as the European HTC M8.
EDIT: Just got to know that it lacks Infrared port too while I was trying to configure it with my home theater system. :/
We can't help you wait until their is a forum for that specific device if you try flashing an m8 Rom you would be lucky if your camera didn't work worse it could turn into a total brick

looking for root for HTC m8 eye
looking for the same root. the previous chinese version is similar to the standard HTC m8 root. but will wait for a specific root process for the phone.
Jealous! I want a M8 eye
Root will likely be no different.
-unlock bootloader
-flash custom recovery
-flash SU binaries if recovery doesn't do it for you.
-install SU app.
But, Need to be able to unlock bootloader. Also need a custom recovery made for the device. (if the regular m8 one won't do.)
As far as roms go, I doubt original m8 roms will work... Period, or at least things may not work right... Radio, camera...????
Patience. Someone brave needs to attempt all this first, or a Dev will work on it.
It would be really great if we could use M8 ROMs straight away. Hope devs find a way for it soon. :angel:
I tried to do this process for my latest phone. I have succeeded in unlocking the phone (after selecting M8 on HTCDev). However, I cant seem to get any of the recoveries installed (twrp, openrecovery*, recovery* for M8). Flashing the recovery, followed by erasing the cache is OK - no error messages. When I select "Recovery" from the bootloader menu options, it just quickly flashes something and presents the bootloader screen again. On top of it, I seem to have lost my "Delete Personal Data" as it simply reboots and goes into bootloader menu.
So unless someone figures out how to root the M8 Eye, we are stuck. I curse myself for having bought M8 Eye instead of M8, thinking its the latest and greatest - HTC was being deceptive by not clearly stating that IR blaster and a couple of other things are not included - they seem to require a HTC Mini+. They have even taken out the "hearing aid" option . I really thought that the in-call volume on M8 series would be fantastic given all the glowing reviews about the speakers and how that one of the speakers doubles up as the ear piece. It seems that low call volume is an oft stated complaint in many of the latest android phones and it leaves folks like me that use hearing aids, in the lurch. I need to have root and custom kernels to crank up the volume

Custom roms
Can I flash HTC m8 roms on the HTC m8eye?
And also please tell me if anyone of You'll know any custom roms other than xposed?
M8 EYE
Just bought this phone in China (I am British, Working in Beijing). The blink feed has lost many of its options and google play is obviously missing. I have spoken to HTC in Asia and the US and they basically say that you can't do anything about it as it was specifically made for China.
Viperone
Can I download viperone on m8 eye. Please reply asap. Thank You.
Can anyone one please please post a step by step root of HTC one m8 eye. I bought it in India, please thanks
Hi All,
is there a plan to create a rooting process for the HTC one m8 eye. i recently bought this phone and was wondering if the Htc one m8 process will work the same on this device as well although its missing a certain components from the htc one m8(nfc, IR). Any developers looking at this device currently from a root or Custom ROM perspective?
I think there has been an issue in general rooting Android 4.4.4, even for "standard" M8 models. Once this gets sorted out, you should be able to unlock the bootloader through HTCDev.com and apply the working root method.
Hi - did you manage to root your HTC One M8 eye - I currently have this phone and need access to the Google play services?
Thanks

somehow i am not sure it will be out soon. the device is available only in India and China so not a big user base to go for it. Also without IR and NFC cant use the same custom roms as m8
NFC and IR

Just to confirm for everyone. The HTC M8 EYE doe have NFC and IR. Bought it yesterday in China and have linked it up to two TVs. I hav not tried NFC but it says it is turned on so I assume it is all good. However the phone is Chinese, missing Google play and with an almost non-functioning version of Blink feed. I would be very happy if I could change the ROM to the Indian version. Anyone know how?
Can anyone please help on HTC One m8 rooting process, I bought one from India.

No. Will not be possible even in future because no one is working on it.
There is a huge thread about this sticky at the top of the M8 General forum section, if you want to know more.
Hello, first off I'm not a newbee but I'm new to HTC and just acquired a Verizon HTC M8. I have been to the Verizon section but do not see any nogout roms, but then I came across this HTC section witch I do see nogout roms and now I'm confused. Is the nogout I see in this section of HTC, is it for all variants within one rom that can flash on all variants of the HTC M8 or is this something entirely different whereas you can only flash a certain ROM only made for that certain variant of the M8. If someone could help with this small confusion it would be appreciated. Everyone have a Happy New Years.
In the desired ROM thread, do a search for "Verizon", and you can pretty easily figure out if the ROM supports your device or not. I did this for LOS 14 and 15, and Verizon seems okay.
Verizon M8 uses a different kernel (at least in Sense) than other M8 versions. So you need to at least look for ROMs that other Verizon M8 owners have had success with.

I kinda figured out some stuff like lineageos pretty much put all the versions of m8 in into one universal type deal, but they are not my first choice. I'm just gonna go through roms and see which ones work and don't work. I'm gonna start with AOKP. Thanks for your reply.
