Hello all,
I'm still a beginner with rooting but just picked up a gnex as a replacement due to breaking my other phone. Anyway I really only have access to a linux machine right (ubuntu 12.10) and am having some trouble rooting it. I'm using this toolkit found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848036
and it worked fine for unlocking the bootloader. Now trying to root it copies over su.zip find but when the gnex tries to reboot it just goes to the broken andy screen after showing the google splash image as well as the unlock symbol. Not sure what to do next... Sorry if this is a dumb question just want to get root access so I can flash a 4.2.1 rom. I'm currently on Verizon with their 4.1.4 version.
Thanks
you dont have a custom recovery to flash the su.zip...

That makes sense. So do I flash the ClockworkMod Recovery first? I tried that and then the root and it still failed.
you need to flash cwm, then boot into cwm and flash su.zip.
Hero guys
I just want to know, is there any way to root and keep getting OTA ?
And what is the best method to root?

You still can OTA, even your phone is rooted.
Only their is some tips you need to know:
1. Don't delete or change any files and apps that is build-in on system.
Even you want to delete apps made from telecom operators IS NOT PERMITTED!
2. Recovery need flash back to original version.
For these two tips, you can do OTA even your phone is rooted.
But note that YOU NEED TO ROOT AGAIN every OTA.

Speaking to point 2:
I recommend not flashing a custom recovery at all. You can boot to TWRP/CWM/Philz from fastboot without flashing, and this leaves your stock recovery intact.
To do this: download your preferred recovery image. Let's say it's called "openrecovery-2.7.0.3-m8.img"
Copy this file to the same folder your "fastboot" executable is in on your computer.
Boot your phone into fastboot and connect it to your computer via USB.
Type in the following on your computer:
Code:
fastboot boot openrecovery-2.7.0.3-m8.img
Now your phone will boot into TWRP without touching your partitions or anything else that might affect OTAs. Apply your root.zip update and reboot!
EDIT: Once you've booted into your custom recovery from fastboot, you can disconnect the USB, so you're not stuck at your PC.

Hello,
I have the same question as the OP. Everything seems to make sense when following this post. My question is even though I will just boot into recovery without ever flashing the recovery am I really able to disconnect my phone from the computer? It seems like the recovery files are actually on the computer so I would need to keep the phone connected while I install the supersu.zip
Thank you for the help
I don't see why you would want to disconnect it but the image should be loaded into ram so I assume it would be safe to disconnect. I have never tried it though :/

Ok I guess I should just leave it connected since I just need to install the supersu.zip file.
Every time an OTA update is applied will I just need to boot into TWRP recover and reinstall the supersu.zip file in order to regain root access?

There's no reason you *can't* leave it plugged in, but yeah, when you run the fastboot command it loads the custom recovery into RAM, and the connection to your computer is doing nothing for you. I give my personal guarantee that it's 100% safe to disconnect after recovery's loaded. But again, if leaving it plugged in makes you more comfortable, it won't hurt.
I can confirm it, that with root OTA is possible
I had a device with root, s-off, unlocked etc... but stock recovery, stock rom,..
today I got the ota, updated without any problems... I just needed to boot into custom recovery afterwards and install the root.zip

Did you just install the regular supersu file?
I read this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2755657) and it seems that if I install the regular supersu root file the OTA update will fail.
Just wondering if you just used the regular files in order to root your phone.

Can you please guide me through the entire process on how to install the OTA update and not lose root, I don't have much knowledge when it comes to flashing into recovery, etc. I do have an HTC One M8 with S-Off. I would be eternally grateful if you could help me out.

Dude, do the research yourself. I don't know how many more times this has to be said. There's nothing special you have to do, just apply the OTA update when prompted
Hello friends, I just got a new refurbished rogers(canada) HTC M8 GSM phone.Its totally stock at this moment and would like to do sim unlock,s-off and boot loader unlock. But before i would like to get full back up of my stock.Few questions:
1.How can i do full complete backup of my stock phone in case in future i need to revert back?
2. what are the steps to do s-off,sim unlock and bootloader unlock?
Right now phone says:
Android version 4.4.3
HTC sence version 6.0
software number 2.23.631.2
HTC SDK API level 6.25
kernel version
3.4.0--g523xxxxxx
baseband version
1.19.2133xxxxxxxx
build number
2.23.631.xxxxxxxrelease-keys
Thanks in advance...
Go to HTCDev.com to unlock the bootloader. The process is self-explanatory (just follow the website instructions). There is a writeup on the following guide, if you need help. But honestly, if you can follow instruction, the process is self-explanatory as I mentioned: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727
Then, to backup the stock ROM and recovery, follow the instructions listed on the following thread under "How do i backup the stock HTC recovery?" : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
This process will boot custom recovery without actually flashing recovery it to the phone, allowing you to backup stock recovery as well as the stock ROM (if you flash custom recovery before doing this, stock recovery is over-written and therefore can't be backed up). Note that your version's stock ROM and recovery may already be uploaded to the above thread by another XDA user.
Then achieve root by your preferred method (flash custom recovery and flash SU/SuperSU, or use weaksauce, towelroot, etc.). Then use sunshine to achieve s-off (firewater s-off will likely not work, as it was patched some time ago): http://theroot.ninja/
Then after s-off, you can unlock SIM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708572
Thanks a lot redpont73 for your directions!!!Will follow your steps and let you know how things went..Thanks
Ok i unlocked my bootloader with htcdev.com and it says unlocked now.
Now how to backup my stock at this point?

By placing the custom recovery image in your fastboot folder, you can then boot recovery without actually flashing it to the phone, using the command you quoted. Think of it as remotely running the TWRP software that is still located on your PC (at least I think that is how it works).
Once you are booted into TWRP, you can backup system (stock ROM) and recovery(stock recovery).

Go to the General forum section for the M8, and look at the Index thread (sticky at the top of that forum) to find link to recoveries and other resources, including guides and how-tos. Read up and learn.
Taking the time to familiarize yourself with the basic concepts and processes is much more valuable than someone walking your though step-by-step. I won't walk you through step-by-step, as you will learn very little that way.
The process is not that difficult, anyway. You already used fastboot to unlock the bootloader. Other fastboot commands are not any different in execution. If you can't handle taking it from here, modding the phone probably isn't for you.
With S-on, you aren't going to brick the phone by backing up or flashing recovery. Even with s-off, as long as you only flash things intended for the M8 (and only for the GSM version - not CDMA - to be safe), you will not brick. You can only brick the phone if you damage hboot, radio, or partition tables.

Yes you are right...I will read more and i want to learn and will try to do it myself.If i will have some confusion, i will ask here.Looks like i need more reading.
Now what i am planning to do is:
1. Install twrp
2.Take a full nandroid backup.(will it be enough to save me in future if i would like to go back to stock after S-OFF?)
3.root and s-off.
Does it make sense?

The process to backup stock recovery is easy, by either method we already discussed. If you want to be thorough, backup stock recovery.
Backing up stock recovery and stock ROM is sufficient to return (mostly) to stock. There isn't much else you can do

UPDATE:
I downloaded latest twrp and i booted into twrp .then took full backup. i also took back up using philz touch same way by just booting into philztouch.
Then i tried to root using supersu by same booting into twrp and tried to root.it created a supersu icon on the spring board and then i tried to install it from play store but it errored out and phone rebooted.After that i tried to remove the supersu icon from the phone but just couldnt. Then i thought of restoring stock backup using twrp and it restored it to stock stage.Atleast now i know that my stock backup worked.!!!
Now my question is why did supersu not root my phone?Should i try another method?please advice.thanks

Sounds like a brick in the making.
Make sure that you read and understand what you are about to do before you do it.
A nandroid won't always help you.
If I may make a suggestion, don't go S-Off.
I am abandoning the idea of doing S-off after the suggestion from xunholyx above and after reading this http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.ca/2013/06/do-we-really-need-s-off.html.

I see you are learning. I will never understand why folks seek to get s-off, without even understanding what it means. You should not be attempting any mods, unless you fully understand what the purpose is (such as s-off).

Yes, you can. You can use tethered TWRP method to root the phone without unlocking the bootloader.
Since you are using TWRP in tethered mode, you do not need to install the TWRP as such you DO NOT need to unlock the bootloader and you still have your stock recovery.
This guide tells you how to root, install xposed and downgrade. Just read the root part and unroot part.
I do not use the twrp mention in that post. Download the latest twrp here.
I did use the BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328-patch-by-shakalaca-for-zenfone2-6.0.zip mentioned in that post.
The guide mentioned that your bootloader need to be unlocked, however you are using twrp in tethered mode so unlocking the bootloader is unnecessary.
I hope you know how to use the adb.

You can not sideload TWRP. TWRP has to be flashed into recovery partition. Since bootloader is locked, your sideloading TWPR could not be successful as such you still have your stock recovery.
Try to get into recovery.
You might be stuck in the dead robot with red triangle. In that case press and hold the power button, and press and release the volume up button quickly. Try several time until you got into recovery.
If your phone is not booting at all and could not detect from the adb, you might need to flash the .raw file via asus flash tool.
Once your phone is back to normal, follow the guide I mentioned in the previous post to root the phone. You can flash supersu zip in the TWRP install tab.
You can press thank button if my post is helping you.

You can not install the supersu from the stock recovery. Rooting the phone requires to modify the boot.img. From Stock recovery it is not allowed.. As such you need custom recovery like TWRP.
copy the supersu that I mentioned in the previous post to the sd card.
Follow the instructions from the root section of the the guide that I mentioned in the previous post.
That guide tells you to run TWRP in tethered mode.
The command fastboot boot <twrp.img> will move the twrp.img to your phone and let your phone boot into twrp .
Once you are in the twrp, tab the install from zip tab and select the supersu zip file you move to the sd card. If you do not know how to use twrp there are a lot of videos on youtube about twrp.

I am glad that work out for you.
At the end of supersu installation you might see the message saying that you would get that verification error message and tell you to ignore that. I did see that message twice and after that I do not see that message anymore every time I reboot the phone.
I can not help you on the xposed though because I did not install the xposed. I just rooted my phone. If you want you could follow that guide. Load the twrp in the tethered mode and install the xposed from the twrp.

Sorry for rising this 1yo thread.
It seems the tethered TWRP couldn't be successfully flashed on both LP (latest releases) either MM (any release) unless the bootloader is locked. The boot command doesn't give errors, but the phone won't reboot and stay in fastboot/bootloader mode.
Could you confirm that's working on MM, nowadays ?

Hello, please could you help me. Ive spent days on this and now I'm stuck.
I'm trying to root my htc one m8. I originally needed to do this to let recovery software find missing pictures, however I've lost that because I had to unlock the bootloader which I understand wipes any previous files.
However npw I've started I may as well finish.
Bootloader is unlocked.
Superuser is installed on phone but says needs binary update?
Flashed twrp img file and it said it was okay. Deleted cache.
When I try to boot into recovery it says "entering recovery" but after a minute it just resets and loada up as normal.

Bootloader is unlocked.
Superuser is installed on phone but says needs binary update?

Sequence doesn't make sense. You installed superuser how? You need TWRP to install SU/SuperSU.
Also, you need a lot more info, for us to properly help.
What OS number does it say in bootloader?
What version TWRP did you try?
What SuperSU version number did you use? SuperSU (or alternately Magisk) is standard (not SU).
