I've been away from the Android scene for a while and just got a vzw m9 on 6.0. I've rooted and everything before but it's been a while.
I just want to know can my phone be rooted and able to install roms and xposed? If so can someone link a thread with the needed files and info? Thanks

Hi, guys, I just got the Verizon HTC One today and it came out of box with Android 4.4.2 and Sense 5.5 build no. 3.11.605.1 CL304035 release-keys. I have read through the Android Development forum and Original Android Development forum and I didn't find any tools specific to the 4.4.2 build. Can any of you point me in the right direction? Or is the bootloader and S-Off method still in the works? Please don't tell me that this is going to be like the Samsung devices and locked down forever! Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!
As of right now, there is no s-off, bootloader unlock, or root for 4.4.2. But im sure there will be eventually. As i understand it, firewaters exploit was not patched, but the needed temp root method was.

If you got the device from a retail store just go back and try to get a replacement. There's a good bet most of them are not on 4.4
Gotcha(directed to both of you) I'm sure there'll be a method soon, if nothing else moonshine, rumrunner, etc. Will probably just be updated as I figure. I used to have the Droid DNA which is an awesome phone and I used moonshine and loved it. I love those one click programs that does everything for you! I just thought I'd ask because I read through the forums first and didn't see anything and I just wanted to make sure I didn't over look anything. Thank you guys, I appreciate it.

Almost 5 months for a root method? I feel really bad for those stuck on 4.4 now. I'd just jump to the M8 at that point.
Yeah August is a long way off and sure we will have another update by then which most will take making his exploit useless.

For the most part, beaups was silent before he cracked 4.3 right?
And they can't patch an exploit if they don't know what it is right?

I wish kingo was compatible. I mean I would like to have soff, custom recovery and an unlocked boot loader for custom ROMs but with how smooth and fast the 4.4.2 software is, I would be perfectly fine with just root.

Hi guys I just got this phone, I've come from a HTC one s... I'm rooted and use xposed framework at the moment... My question is how do I go completely back to stock? Because the lollipop update is coming soon and I want the ota
Do I need to lock the bootloader or anything like the HTC or run software on the computer to take me back to stock? That's how HTC worked just wondering
Thanks

Hello I have an HTC One M8 from tmobile and I want to root it. I was going to wait until I upgraded to lollipop and then root but from the looks of it, it will take some time until tmobile releases the update. Do you think i should wait until the upgrade and then root? Or should i root then update? How much time do you think it will take for the carriers to release the update?
Thanks in advance

I would think that the update to Lollipop should be hitting us soon. HTC's promise is that the update will be out within 90 days of source code release which was Nov. 4th. Just a few more weeks and we should have it. If you check HTC's software update status site it says that its being integrated, then will need certified and then rollout. The developer/unlocked versions had rollout within a few days of starting certification.
Thanks, so whats the safest method to root the phone? Ive seen an htc quick root tool but is it updated to work with my phone?
Thanks again

I just used fastboot commands since my computer is a Mac and most of the quick tools are meant for windows. I unlocked the bootloader with HTCDev, then installed TWRP then let TWRP root the phone. I then went on to S-Off and flash the GPE RUU and found that I liked Sense better than GPE.
--------------------------------EDIT-------------------------------
I should point out that I am now back to completely stock with S-Off.
I dont know much about rooting but I see people that install cyanogenmod...can I install that? Is it better than the stock m8 OS?

I personally like stock. Cyanogenmod is a AOSP modified ROM and pretty well made based on when I was using it a few years ago. Can't help but expect they've only gotten better. If you move away from a stock sense or a modified sense ROM, you will lose some of the specific features of the phone (proper use of dual lens camera, quick unlock shortcuts, blinkfeed, etc.)

Oh so what can I install if I cant install modified roms? What other advantages i have with root? I know I can have apps like titanium backup and greenify but those things arent that important to me.
Thanks again youve been a great help

Hey folks,
I hope I'm posting this in the right area, but here goes: I got myself an LG G3 back in November, and just recently saw someone with a 5.0 update on their phone. I also learned that we have the update here in Canada, but our amazing phone carriers are holding out on us. So, I would like to ask for help in rooting and updating my phone to the new Rom as I know next to nothing about the process, though I did follow a guide here a few years back The phone was originally a Roger's phone and I unlocked it to work with Virgin. Thanks all.
Any takers?

For installing a new rom (via kdz) you do not need to root your phone.

Really? That's awesome! But I would like to root it and play around with some extra functions so I could learn. What's kdz?
EDIT: I wanna note that I've heard a bit about "stumping" but I know nothing of what it is, so if anyone could shed some light for me, I'd appreciate it.

Hundreds of posts regarding rooting. 5.0
Can't be done. You must revert to kit Kat via kdz or tot. Root. Then install custom recovery and install a "bumped" lollipop rom
I'm already on kitkat atm. Tbh I'm not so hot into the root function, I just want to update the rom if it improves battery life, and utilizes the quad HD better.

Hello everybody,
I just got a lg e980 from my dad, it's from at&t and it comes stock with all their apps and rom.
I do not need the at&t functionality because I'm on a whole other continent but it's a decent phone and I'd like to use it.
Can i just follow one of the rooting guides, root, custom recovery and rom? Or am I missing something here that will render the phone useless?
I'd appreciate help on it.
Thanks

Potentially yes. Be aware that the guided to follow differs from which version of stock rom you start from. In any case download the kdz files and the flashing tool in case you need to go back to stock.

Thanks heaps for your advice, I'll get the stock files and flasher first before I proceed
