Thanks to LLabTooFer for this impressive ROM.
A little more help is required to get this installed on my HTC One M7.
At present I have RevolutionHD installed on the HTC One M7 it is rooted and unlocked via HTCDev.
I have downloaded the MaximusHD ROM copied it over to my SD card and installed it via recovery>install zip from sd card etc. USB Debugging is enabled. Install goes ahead and finishes with a fresh new 4.3 update.
Here's the but, MaximusHD is provided as rooted but after my install I lose root. If I use Root Checker from PlayStore it tells me that I have no root access and that it is against Google policy. This message appears in a band at the top of Root Chacker display.
If I now go back to RevolutionHD, (good job I backed up) root access is granted and shows via Root Checker.

Hi every one,
I currently am using an LG G2 from tmobile (801 model). My device says its rooted but it doesnt have root access because I forgot to flash supersu binaries before i flashed the 4.4.2 version of the software. But now my custom recovery doesnt exist anymore.
I've tried using LG flash tools to flash back to 4.2. stock settings to start over but I am unable to do so for some reason. LG Flash tools isnt able to recognize my G2 in download mode. My computer is able to recognize my G2 when it is turned on though.
So is there anyway to flash a custom recovery without root access?
Or is there anyway to flash supersu binaries without a custom recovery using ADB?
I've tried trouble shooting with multiple threads and multiple downgrade methods but none of them are giving me any luck. I really want to flash a custom rom on my LG g2 and have the benefits of root access.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All you need to do is install the towelroot.apk to give instant temporary root. Then install SuperSU from the dev thread here on xda or from the play store. After installing SuperSU go to its settings and select install as a system app and reboot when finished. It might take 2 attempts before it successful (it always takes me 2 tries). Then uninstall towelroot as it's no longer required since you've gained permanent root. Now install the autorec.apk and you'll install TWRP recovery. Now that you have root and recovery and have control of your device you can customise to taste. In my case I always install busybox and a terminal emulator so I can further fine tune my system.
I hope this helps

still got issues :/

However even when i go into supersu, it keeps saying my binaries are not up to date. So i cant install anything and I cant do anything to install a custom recovery without root access.

So you have installed Towelroot, achieved root then having issues installing the SuperSU.apk this is indeed an issue. Towelroot should allow for it to be installed. When you install Towelroot do you get the warnings from the installer and Lookout that the package contains an exploit? Do you interrupt or stop it from fully installing when you see the warnings? The only thing I can think of is you are doing something wrong when installing towelroot which is prohibiting it from doing its job in gaining root.
Hi guys
I have one E8 (m8sx) build 709 , yesterday I get update to android 5
and now I want root my phone , tell me how can root my phone
Try Framaroot, you dont need a computer and it installs in a matter of seconds. Open up Framaroot and select an exploit (if one doesnt work then try another). Then run Root checker basic and it hopefully will say it has root access.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Use latest supersu, flash from twrp recovery.
Your device should be unlocked first.
Hi, I have an HTC One M8 on 5.0.1 and I have little knowledge with rooting. I want to root my phone because there are some apps I want to use that are only capable of being used if my phone is rooted. I've tried Kingo root and it doesn't work on my phone so I was wondering if someone can give me instructions and download links so I can root my phone. If you can it would be much appreciated, thanks.

You have 2 options at the moment.
1) Ship device to one of the many great people with a Java Card/XTC2 Clip - Look at the OP of this thread to see where the people are located.
2) With some time and luck - King Root, which has been proven to work for a number of M8 users.

I was able to get S-Off using the KingRoot and Sunshine method. Now what? Although I did get root long enough to get S-off, I lose it after each time I get temp root with the KingRoot app again. KingRoot will say that I have root, but I can't get SuperSU to install.
I am doing a factory reset now and will try to use KingRoot to get temp root, then install SuperSU. Will I then be able to install TWRP after SuperSU is installed correctly?

If you are S-OFF, then I would flash a custom recovery and then a custom ROM (if you want)
or flash superSU in the custom recovery if you just want root.
Once S-OFF you are in full control of your device, so do some reading about it as you can end up with an expensive paperweight easily if you don't know what you're doing.
Or try vroot, i rooted my phone in just 1 tap
dexter0218, I think it would be BIG BIG news here if there were a one-click root solution for the newest M8. 5.01 phones aren't rootable easily.
boltz111, no need to fiddle with SuperSU. Now that you are S-Off, make sure you have ADB and get the latest TWRP for the M8. Drop to your ADP shell and do:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.zip
(sub in the name of your zip)
That's it. Then:
- Power down
- Power up in bootloader (hold down vol)
- Go to recovery
You have to go to recovery before booting or else the rom will overwrite the recovery.
Once you're in TWRP, you can load up SuperSU from a .zip and it will do its thing.
Or flash a rooted ruu from fastboot, loads you back to stock but with perm root, never had an issue

Hi EveryOne ,
After 2 days of continuous Searching and Learning I Learned How to root My Device
Its Htc Desire 500.But Still Unable To Get Super User Access/Root Access
Here Are COuple Of Things I Done.
Firstly I Installed Adb And fastboot on my pc
Then i unlocked BootLoader By Following Each And EverySTep On Htc Dev Site.
Still Now BootLoder is Ulocked and it is Showing Unlocked In HBoot FastBoot Mode.
Then I Installed Recovery.img...I Have Tried Both Recovery Types. i.e CWM/Twrp
Currently There Is Twrp Installed on my device.
I Have Used Many Supersu.zip files various versions. v.1.3 , v .194 v.3.2 etc etc. Using Cwm recovery And Also With Twrp recovery.
Everything Extracted Rightly From Supersu.zip that i placed in my sd card and opened using recover ..My Device Reboots But No Root Access. CHecked ROot Access Using Root Checker Super Su And other Apps.
Please SOmeOne Help Me If Possible.
Also Tried Kingo ROot, Genius Root Htc One Click Root And Other One Click Root tools.
but Em unable to get Root access.
So... I broke my old Verizon M8 that was rooted. Got new one and upgraded it to 6.0.
Now I am trying to root it and get s-off.
From what I remember and my notes I need to temp root it with KingRoot, then use Sunshine to get s-off, after that I can install TWRP, and after that SuperSU binaries for permanent root.
I followed these steps
factory reset,
Installed KingRoot
did RUU using DOTTAT_VZWM8_M_S_ON_6_0_RUU.zip
Enabled USB Debug
Enabled High precision GPS
Enabled Mock location (set it to KingRoot)
Now I am running KingRoot and it keeps restarting at 18-20%.
Anything I am missing?
Did I had to do it with Android 5.0 and I can't root it with 6.0?
Thank You
UPDATE: So I guess Sunshine can now temproot it self. I installed it, it updated to latest one, was able to gain temp root, and now I am S-OFF and boot loader unlocked.
Moral of the story: RTFM.
