Hey guys,
Newbie here, looking to root my M8 running on Android 6.0
I've been reading a bit and came across first unlocking bootloader, any of you guys know what to do afterwards on 6.0 since the guides I've read are on M8s running 4.4 and 5.0?
I want to flash RESURRECTION REMIX v5.8.2, any help pls?
Also, does anyone know if this ROM supports Substratum theme engine?
Thanks a lot in advance guys!
To be clear, there is a difference between just rooting (stock ROM), and process for flashing a custom ROM. Main reason for confusion, is that you do not need to root in order to flash a custom ROM (contrary to some other devices). You simply need an unlocked bootloader, and custom recovery TWRP.
Before you unlock the bootloader, backup any of your data (off-phone to computer, SD, etc.) you want to keep; as the phone will be wiped when you unlock the bootloader.
After unlocking the bootloader, just flash TWRP using fastboot. You should use current TWRP version, which is 3.1.0-0 which you can get here: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
After that, just put the desired ROM on the phone, boot into TWRP, backup your current (stock) ROM (in case you want or need to revert) then do default wipe in TWRP (data, Dalvik, cache) and install the ROM.
I don't know if RR supports substratum. Just check or search the RR ROM thread.
Also, questions should be posted to the Q&A section, not General. So I'll ask the mods to move this thread.

Hi,
I'm trying to install custom rom (the same one) on my device as well. Do I need a different kernel or S-off in order to flash the ROM? i would like to modify my phone as little as possible in order to avoid any possibility of a hard brick. tnx

if you want to flash custom rom you only need unlocked bootloader + twrp installed
no need for another kernel or s-off

Tnx for the response, I've assumed that would be the case so I did it anyway yesterday and I'm glad to report it is working

To be clear, the kernel flashes with the ROM on this device, and that is true with s-on.
There are older HTC devices, where you had to flash the kernel separately by fastboot, or have s-off (in which case, kernel would flash with the ROM). But none of this ever applied to the M8.

Thanks for the clarification, that's probably why i got confused (watched some older video on rooting, kernel, c roms and so on). So which parts of software (or hardware) would you want to manipulate with or change that would require s-off?

Always be sure to research the root/mod methods for your specific device (not just another HTC phone, etc.). Every phone has its own peculiarities and nuances.
petarcrncec said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is a number of modifications that require s-off, such as changing CID/MID, flashing modified hboots, manually flashing radios, flashing older version RUU ("downgrading") and a number of other things.
But for root, flashing ROMs, and most other common mods, just having an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery TWRP and s-on is enough.
Hi,
My question is the same, how to root HTC ONE M8,
However, I installed a Custom WOLLA.SENSE7.MM.V3 using this link:

What is the best/safest method to root now.

Why you need to install xposed while you don't know about it ?
Flash in recovery by boot to recovery and tap install then navigate to the .zip location in storage and sweep to confirm that's how to flash a .zip from twrp

Well, I think I know a little about it, else, how I managed to install the indicated Rom.
Although, what I was asking about, since the Isntalled Rom is already pre-rooted, why do I need a full flash using TWRP again.

Root and xposed is tow different things you need root for something and xposed for a different thing
for example you don't need root to have a working xposed framework ( some modules require root though )
So it's up to you and what you will use
We can tell you what you have to do if you tell us what you up to

What I think he meant was: if you want to use Xposed, read and understand about it first. You should have read the basic instructions on how to install it.

In order for xposed to work, you need to flash the xposed framework using TWRP, period. It's not complicated, and it's stated in the instructions clearly.

I am a bit confused here, the situation is like this: I need Xposed installed in order to use some modules mainly (Xprivacy..).
I have tried to install TWRP using Adb (Attached) which I assume it wasn't successful so far.

Hi everyone, I have a bit of experience with flashing roms to android phones from the past and I'm coming from an LG G3 that has Lineage OS installed on it.
What I'm looking to do is to get Lineage installed on my HTC 10, I picked it up the other day and it came shipped with Android 7.0 Nougat installed. I haven't got a clue what to do first just in case anything goes wrong.
So my questions are:
How do I unlock the bootloader and is there anything I need to do first? (What is S-Off?)
Can I flash TWRP without rooting the device to just nandroid backup?
How do I go from Stock rom to LineageOS via flashing? Is it just as simple as wiping system etc and flashing in twrp?
I'd urge you to read a lot more before jumping into this because your questions suggest you're really not aware of what you're doing. It helps to comprehend what each of these terms and actions means before you pull the trigger.
Check the 'development' section for how to unlock
S-Off enables you to update firmware separate from ROMs
No, you need to unlock the bootloader to be able to flash TWRP
Once you have unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP then yes, flashing a ROM is as easy, but referring to S-Off, you'll need to be sure that your firmware is compatible with the ROM of your choice; if not, you'll have to flash that separately.
Really. Read up. Check these guides first.

I know my fair share of android modifications and have done so in the past. It's just this is the most ive ever spent on a phone and I dont want to mess it up firstly. I've even compiled roms of my own in the past as you can see from my signature.

So, it's oem unlock, twrp, backup, and flash away? Reading up on S-off, it only seems useful for those that are doing really specific modding. I just want the ability to either root or flash custom roms so the bootloader unlock should do me fine right?

Backup your files (pictures, music etc) first, bootloader unlocking wipes your device

Yes, but if you want to flash a custom ROM not supported by your current firmware version, S-off will be necessary.

How do I know if a rom doesn't support my firmware version? Is that like flashing a CDMA ROM to a GSM phone (that level of difference) ?
Or is it like converting carrier firmware to stock HTC firmware?

Hello everyone,
i have a few questions just to make sure i understand the matter good enought.
right now my phone has a locked bootloader and i have to wait about a month until i can unlock it. The ARP code is 3.
I would like to start using my phone but also want to update to the latest firmware.
A read a lot but i still have some questions just to make 100% sure i've got this right.
Q1: Is there any other disadvantage other than ARP when updatating to the latest firmware?
Q2: Is there any advantage to use newer firmware?
Q3: From my understanding the only thing to mind when flashing a new rom while ARP is active is to make sure you don't flash a rom with an older firmware than the one installed at the moment. But beside that i can install ANY rom. Is this correct?
Thank you in advance
I also want to know

1. No, the only "bad thing" is the ARB.
2. Yes, it is, they push fixes to wifi, basebands, etc and stuff that can help with battery life or overall system performance/smoothness.
3. Yeah, that's correct. Usually custom roms don't have firmware in them, but you should check it anyway (doesn't hurt to be extra careful). So yeah, you can install any rom, even one that'll activate ARB.

1. well only thing is you need to manually install twrp when you boot into twrp. using the .img and having twrp in sd card or internal. once you flash itll stay in phone.
2. and 3. already answered above.
thanks everyone. That clears things up for me.
So this anti rollback protection isn't as bad as some make it out to be.
I'll update to the latest stock firmware and use that until i can unlock my bootloader an install custom rom.

Unless you brick your device and have to apply for Mi authorisation (the reason why this my last Xiaomi phone unless things change) "Unfortunately authorizations is not granted (anymore). You can try your luck by pm mods in miui Forum or post your ID in countless threads..." Xiaomi crap like this which prevents people using a phone they paid for. Until then I will stay on ARP 3 regardless of fixes
I've seen somewhere that if you remove firmware from zip, you can basically install any rom or that only applies to MiUI?
Is that true?
I also have few questions i would like to be answered if someone has time.
My phone is gonna come in few days, it will be in anti 3.
Im a guy that non stop changes rom and test new stuff, it would be for the best if i dont get into anti 4 or else i am screwed?
What is better, redwolf recovery or twrp and why
If im in anti 3, is custom recovery permanent or it needs special ways to access custom recovery like in anti 4?
Any rom can be installed over custom recovery if im in anti 3? I dont need MiFlash at all? As long as i remove firmware folder from zip i am about to flash
Xiaomi.eu or global dev/stable?

It's recommended to stay on ARB3, but if you get into ARB4, the removal of firmware folder in the rom works. You just gotta know how to edit the meta-inf stuff to make it flash on the device. Nothing hard. And you're not screwed, you just gotta be extra careful when flashing MIUI roms.
OrangeFox is the best, IMHO. It's nice, it's themeable sort of, it's smooth and with the latest update, you can backup your internal storage too on a nandroid backup. But when it comes to recoveries, it's down to personal preference, they basically do the same thing.
If you are on ARB3, you don't need dummy.img or any other tweaks. Since you haven't triggered ARB(which blocks most fasboot command), you can use fastboot commands normally. So after you flash the recovery(with fastboot), it stays there.
And you can install any rom in recovery, as long as the rom is built to be installed in recovery. You can't download a fastboot rom and flash it in recovery. MiFlash is used to get back to stock, mostly, that's for fastboot roms.
As for the roms, i'd recommend going into custom roms(not MIUI), but if you do really like MIUI, from what i've read on Telegram, people spoke highly of Revolution OS. I haven't personally used it, i only dealt with Xiaomi.eu roms, but again, i don't play nice with MIUI.
I want to stay arb 3 too as I'm currently waiting for my unlock.

No, you don't (at least for xioami.eu). Usually, if there's a need for cust, the devs will say so. AFAIK, it's only needed to swap between stable and developer. And yeah, xioami.eu is a good choice.

Will i face rollback problems?
What after imstalling twrp?
Xan i choose any custom rom in threads to try it then try flashimg another rom?
Please help me
First request the bootloader unlock because sometime it can take upto a month (720 hours) for new accounts. After unlock install the Redwolf Twrp recovery because it's the best and than install any custom rom but don't ever go back to any MIUI version below 9.5.19 otherwise you will endup bricking your phone for downgrading from ARB4 to ARB3. Custom roms works fine no issues with ARB

You can go back to any MIUI version it's ok as long as you install ARB4 versions of MIUI 9 or 10 and they start from 9.5.19+ so never ever go for any version below that.
So i just unlock bootloader, install redwolf twrp, then install any custom rom?
You mean that rollback problems happen only when going back to miui rom? I mean if i changed from a custom rom to another, will i have any rollback problems?
Second thing, how to root?

for root flash magisk or in orangefox recovery there magisk already incorporated in twrp..
So should I install orangefox TWRP or redwolf TWRP or what?
Please orangefox or redwolf?

i have the last firmware now global (phone is global 2) if i put twrp for magisk i have to stop upgrade the phone right?
second. i never liked stock roms so again... if i put twrp i can flash whatever rom i want or there are steps every time so i wont brick the phone? thank u guys for ur time
dont do it
For rooting stock ROM, you can flash twrp and flash magisk but you should be careful to pick a recovery which is for android 10 and also not for CFW.
For flashing custom roms, you should read the megathread. It's not very complicated and if you follow the exact steps, you will not get bricked.

For rooting stock ROM, you can flash twrp and flash magisk but you should be careful to pick a recovery which is for android 10 and also not for CFW.

It's all explained in the megathread, sir. For custom ROMs you need CFW recovery but for you to be on CFW you need to flash CFW with a non-CFW recovery.
Best way to do it is in the CrDroid post.
Have a nice day!
tl;dr: flash Android 9 then megathread

i tried rooting with magisk on latest android 10 miui 11 , basically you will fail safetynet and basic integrity will fail as well you can try to hide fingerprint with magisk busybox and props module and type su to give termux root access and edit fingerprint to pixel 4 but it's not guaranteed i don't know if there is google attestation hardware in begonia anyways you can try.
here's a pic from pixel experience safetynet.(not rooted)
