I used this method to root my phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699065
I now have S-off and twrp 2.8.7.0-m8 installed.
What is the easiest way to keep root and get lollipop?
More information
I downloaded the twrp android_device_htc_m8-android-5.0.zip and tried to install it from the twrp recovery and it failed.
I did wipe cache/dalvik also.
Sorry for being such a noob.

I installed a stock recovery to update to 4.4.4 OTA. I then installed TWRP(openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8) through fastboot and attempted to install the super SU zip 2.00.
The file seemed to install properly as it gave me no errors, but I did not have root access when booting into the phone. I then tried CWM recovery (recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.8-m8). CWM installed the super SU 2.00 zip without any errors as well, but warned me before reboot that my root access was not found, I selected the option that "fixes" that, but still I am without root.
I like the 4.4.4 features but I don't want to be without root, please help me guys.
Let me know if you guys figure anything out for the stock rom. I just jumped on the latest cyanogenmod nighty till I figure this out.
Do you have s-off?
You should definitely get s-off as it makes everything so much easier.
But in the meantime, I would download the sunshine.apk and run it. It will reboot your phone and ask you to confirm and enter PayPal info. I believe your phone at this point has a soft root. If you now run superSU and allow it to install the binary, you should have root.
Guys
need some quick help. Followed the AFTV guides to the letter (actually did a complete root, downgrade on another device already) but now my FTV downloaded an update and I lost root.
I still have CWM as my recovery. Can I just adb push another ROM that is pre-rooted?
help!
thanks in advance?

If you have CWM still working properly it might work. I would give it a shot. If CWM is broken, the it should just error and do nothing.
You must be running an older version of cwm for it to have even done that. Just flashing superuser through recovery should get you root back.
everything seems to be ok...it only downloaded the latest ROM but didn't seem to install it. I didn't lose root. actually I ran the command to block OTA and all is good again. Now onto XBMC!!
Hi!
So my HTC was rooted and all fun, but I couldn't install the OTA update due to TWRP recovery. So I unrooted and uninstalled TWRP. And then I received the official OTA update from HTC. Now my phones runs marshmallow and its smooth AF! I'm happy with it, but my QUESTION IS, How to root it again? I did try to root it and looked up for Youtube videos to figure it out, but I failed! Can someone help?
P.S: I couldn't find and videos on Youtube for rooting HTC one M8 on marshmallow.
1) Flash TWRP.
2) Flash SuperSU 2.67 BETA. It will flash superuser in systemless mode by patching the boot image. No other method as of now if you want root in system.
PS : AND REMEMBER, if TWRP shows you with an option to flash SuperSU after you're done flashing and/or later on whenever accessing your recovery, PRESS "DO NOT INSTALL" as flashing it using this option will mess up your system. Root will be present by flashing 2.67, it's just that TWRP isn't able to detect it.
Patched boot image is for "traditional" root (which modifies the system). The new "systemless" root method does not install the patched boot image.
ok so when i root my g3 using one click root tool it seems to be a success but when i use root checkers they say the device is not rooted and supersu wont update the binaries. i have already tried doing a factory reset and re-root but it did not help. anyone know what i can do? please need help.
Reflash firmware via lgflashtool 2014 retry the process after applying one click root method dont restart cuz if u did u have to reflash rom again for root follow the process to flash twrp make backup 1st then flash supersu or other zips if ur a carrier varient
apparently the issue wasn't with the rooting but with supersu, I installed CM 13 now and just use the root option that comes with it, I also tried installing SuperSU on CM 13 and it just broke it and I has to do a factory reset and re-flash CM 13. not sure why
Super user is built into cm 13 and it wont allow to change root access.
I'm trying to install TWRP on my 10 since it's working for Nougat now. Problem is, the flash failed due to S-ON. The instructions for Sunshine state that after S-OFF, you need TWRP to remove encryption from the device, by wiping data and performing a factory reset. That's a bit of a dilemma, whole reason I'm doing this is to install TWRP.
If it makes any difference, I'm rooted using Chainfire's SuperSU method which bypasses TWRP. The recovery is "stock" but tweaked by CF to load SuperSU binaries and such.
Can I use my "stock" recovery to remove encryption after S-OFF, or am I in a bit of a bind?

As I posted in your other thread, you don't need S-off to flash twrp, just need an unlocked bootloader which you said you already have. Just follow the instructions from the twrp thread.
