This a bounty thread for Root only on the Verizon HTC One M8. You can post your pledges here and I will add them to OP.
S-Off Pledges
Why a new thread for root?
The s-off thread was specifically for s-off, and later I realized a lot of peeps might be happy with root only. Hence a separate thread for root.
Do not pledge cats, dogs etc. we are talking paypal and dollars
Please do not send any money to anyone unless it's proved that root has been achieved and made public here on xda.
Please do not start a cat fight in here as that would result in the thread getting locked.
I will try to update the thread on a daily basis. Do not come in here and ask when it will be done because we do not know the answer to that and you might get flamed.
I do not own a Verizon HTC One M8 but I am just trying to help.
How to Claim the Bounty

Proving it works with appropriate photos and/or screenshots

Isn't it impossible to have permanent root on an HTC phone without some form of unlocking? And since we can't htcdev unlock there's only s-off...so this thread is useless right? Am I wrong?

We need to root all the things ;}
Jcase already has a root method lol. He says he will post later today.

I am in for 25 dollars for root
Maybe a bounty thread for unlocked boot loader instead of root and opposed to S-OFF would be more appropriate?

I'm in for 10 for root. S-Off is my ultimate goal but at least with root that sticks, Xposed can be uninstalled and I can debloat my M8.

hello, my problem cell radio is not working properly.
SOMETIMES it turns into a IPOD 4 WITH CAMERA!!!! i mean sometimes it will not recieve calls or messages. and when a call connects, the voice is very shuttering.
otherwise no problems with other things
camera,games, music, internet, wifi, bluetooth, everything is working fine.
not rooted , just updated to 2.3.4 and now its even worst then before.
Send it back to htc
I would root it and install a custom ROM...see if that fixes your problem.

I would go to Xda Home Page and click on "wiki". From there, select HTC Glacier, & then follow the downgrade guide. After successfully downgrading to Froyo, then (still in the wiki section), find the Ultimate S-off guide and follow it. You will use visionary to temp root, and gfree to get s-off, then visionary to perma root...at least that's what I did. It sounds complicated, but once you get all your files in place and installed on you pc & phone, it takes 10 minutes tops..
** First,I am all for rooting, and I am entirely comfortable doing it. However, if I were you, I would read some of peoples posts that have had issues, to make yourself familiar with the process, so that you might learn from what they did wrong. Just search the forums for downgrading..and rooting. Spend a couple hours reading, it is something I failed to do, and nearly messed up! It's only a suggestion, but it helps if you sorta understand what you are doing. I don't want you to brick your phone & think I talked you into jumping in too fast! Just realize that while I wouldn't hesitate to root a brand new one if I had it, THERE IS A CHANCE OF BRICKING YOUR DEVICE! **
Good Luck..

I would like to clear up a bunch of things that I and the other devs are seeing in here.
1) If you install the leak you can now get back to 2.3.5 and OTA to 2.3.6 with out any issues.
2) There are root procedures for each of the ICS leaks and they are posted in the proper ICS leak thread.
3) You are 100% not stuck once you install the ICS leaks and you CAN go back to 2.3.5 or 2.3.6. You can upgrade back to the ICS leak again all you want. We have many confirmed cases of this now.
4) If you don't know don't make it up. Ask a dev before you post incorrect info (a PM is best), because we all talk to each other and we will point you out, and then laugh at you as a community.
5) Please stop posting a new thread for every little ICS issue, there are a ton of threads just add a new post to an already existing thread, even if the issues were for GB, PLEASE!
One more time if you don't know for 100% sure and you can not Google it and prove it with another link then don't say it or post the information.

Since I can not post in the Dev Section on the ICS to 2.3.5 thread, I am Thanking you here. Thanks for all the efforts you put in to make it work.
bump!
Glad to see this. Went ahead and flashed the newest (I believe) ICS leak on an Atrix 2 I picked up yesterday.
I love the bump. I know some hate it. It works for me because I do most of my xda checking from tapatalk. Out of pure laziness I don't take the time to check for a new sticky unless I'm modifying something. So double bump.
Take a night off and watch a crappy movie jim. Thanks man.

hmm interesting, mind specifying on what you have done on this port besides merging the system folder with another JB build? it's nice and all but I just dont see anything worth while in this build. seems like it's buggy and un responsive at times.
So what's up China? Are you still gonna work on this one?

I'll be happy with root and busy box at this point.
A handful of people are dying to root this phone. Unfortunately, it may never happen.
This thread is collecting a few, might want to check in there sometime later.
