Can we get a guide for rooting? - AT&T HTC One (M8)

I haven't used an HTC phone in over a year since the original M7 release. I'm used to Samsungs where all you need to do is open odin and flash a few files and boom you're done. I can unlock the bootloader no problem but I am confused on the steps to get twrp on it. Can I just follow a guide for the M7?

for those who also need help, i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694564

Just unlock boot loader on htcdev site, flash twrp and when you go into the recovery and exit it'll root for you

Can this be undone with no trace of prior root?

I assume you just unroot and flash stock recovery and relock boot loader

Will we be able to flash Roms from the international M8 just like we could on the M7?

Rooted and custom rom >> to stock?

I managed to unlock the bootloader and install a custom rom about 6 months ago
Think it was andriod revolution hd 6.5
I don't think I backed up the stock ROM?
Could someone explain if its possible to get the phone back to a out of the box state??
Thanks
Download and run the RUU for your device.
p.s. these type of things go in Q&A

Hello,
I've done that yesterday
First you need to flash a stock recovery, then install the ruu corresponding to your device. And you need to relocked the bootloader.
By this way, you will be able to get futur ota update.

[Q] Can't Unlock Bootloader ATT HTC One

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone can point me to the right direction. I had a silver HTC One that I successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted but unfortunately had to return do to faulty hardware. ATT sent me a black HTC One but I can't seem to unlock the bootloader now. I am using the All in one toolkit but in the final stage where it uses the unlock.bin file, it fails. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
I would try s-off through revone exploit. No need to unlock just get s-off, install custom recovery and flash away

Downgrade from 1.27.531.11 to 1.27.531.8 and S-OFF available

In my search and attempt to find a method to downgrade 1.27.531.11 firmware and successfully run revone for S-OFF, I found it.
mod edit
***Edit***
The downgrade is out there, DO NOT POST A LINK TO IT!!!! The thread will get closed again. Use your googling skills.
Has anyone tried this method with the bootloader unlocked? I'm just confused why the bootloader has to be re-locked.

When you run an RUU the bootloader has to be locked. You can always unlock it again. The HTC One toolkits make it really easy. Just save your email with the unlock.bin
Hello OP, may I ask which toolkit did you use to re-lock bootloader? Thanks!
Yeah it works. Im now s-off

i was in the same boat... make sure you are running the "ARUWizard" from the extracted folder and not the zip file. also do "fastboot reboot-bootloader" without the quotations. also update your drivers just to make sure. i got mine from hasoon's toolkit
Thread re-opened.
Let's keep this about the info only please and not about banned members etc.
Thanks

you are talking about the folder after i unzip the downgrade stuff? and i do this in adb, the fastboot reboot-bootloader... that brings back my os?

Yes the folder after you unzip the .zip file. Then go into the data files and run the application I told you.
Nope that reboots bootloader to ensure you are good to go.
thanks will try this today

Help with droid dna root

I unlocked the phone using rumrunner, and then loaded cwm recovery. I then installed the superuser, and it appears to succeed. Then I checked root with root checker and it said sorry you don't have proper root. I have checked my steps again and again, but am still pretty new to htc.

are you s-off?
what version of SuperSu did you flash? What Rom are you running? The latest SuperSU 1.94? Doesn't work for 4.2.2. If your S-off why and have CWM recovery why not flash a custom rom?
I am trying to do just that. I can't really find any up to date info to help me step by step, so I am piecing together the newest info I can find. I am a little confused right now. Stuck on trying to root. I flashed superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip

Do I need to root to load a custom rom? Is s-off =root on htc? I guess I have deleted everything off the phone and now it is stuck at the white htc screen. I can get to recovery but did not perform any backups. I can get to bootloader and recovery and I guess need to sideload a rom. I haven't had time the last few days to try anything new. Thanks for the input, I need to fix my dna so I can get off of this note 2 I don't like. I don't understand why htc doesn't sell better.... my dna was the **** before I ruined it!
S-off is secure flag removed meaning you can install unsigned firmware (eng hboot) unlocked means you can write to system partition and other secure partitions. Root means you have an app (like supersu) able to have other apps execute admin (root for Linux) commands. If you have cwm installed, just side load a pre rooted Rom from development sections.

Thanks, I will try the sideload. Any ideas where I can find such a rom. Oh wait I think I s-on ed trying to fix it.... will I still be able to fast boot USB and unlock again for s-off? I sure hope so.

unlocking the bootloader will start a whole new set of problems
the unlock process wipes your phone and deletes files need for the OTA to proceed without error.
did you try just flashing the OTA with stock recovery and see if it worked ?
No I am not asking about bootloader, I was asking whether s off is compulsory ,I am still on locked bootloader and stock recvry

I may be wrong, but if its still stock everything, can you not do a manual update from HTC website

HTC doesn't offer the update, AT&T push's it to your phone.
But if your out of the AT&T coverage area you never get the updates
