[Q] How to root after S-Off? - Verizon HTC One (M8)

Hello? I just got s-off by sunshine. The updated sunshine does not need root because
the app gets temp-root itself to get s-off.
So my question is how do I get rooted?
Can I install custom recovery first then use supersu.zip
or is there another way to root without recovery?

Nvm. TWRP recovery first then supersu

Rooting 4.4.4......

I used sunshine to s-off and now I need root and su. Twrp says I don't have root so it can't be used, supersu says I don't have binaries installed so it can't be used. I'm confused how I'm supposed to root when any program I use says I can't use it because I need the other one installed first..... They all point to each other and I can't use any. Help please!

flash twrp FROM FASTBOOT. flash root from twrp.
To clarify, flash the SuperSU.zip in TWRP, after you flash TWRP from fastboot.

Post-OTA woes

Hi,
I recently updated to 4.4.4 and I want to get TWRP and the Xposed Framework back. I'm not rooted and my bootloader is locked, but I do have s-off. When I try to flash TWRP, I get an error message (attachment below). Also, since the Xposed Framework requires root access, I can't use it since I can't use WeakSauce anymore and I'm not ready to dive into Sunshine. I was thinking about flashing the 4.4.4 rooted ROM that's available. Would this at least get me root access?
Thanks,

Not sure why you relocked, but since you have s off you can flash twrp recovery via a fastboot zip file. There are a few threads on XDA, but basically you need to put twrp in a zip alongside an android-info.txt file.

Were you running Windows as admin when you tried this?

You need to flash recovery in ruu mode as a zip just like beaups stated. But you can unlock your boot loader via HTCdev if your s-off. Just supercid your phone an then htcdev will unlock your boot loader. But you don't need a unlocked bootloader tho just exposing your choices...I know this works cause my last 2 phones I used java card for s-off an unlocked via htcdev myself.

[Q] simple root/upgrade question

Hi. Been out the loop for a while and struggling to find the answer to my question.
I'm on 4.4.4 no custom revovery but with root.
I have an OTA notice to go to lollipop, which should be fine, as I have stock evetything?
How do I simply get root back afer the update?
So many posts with options, I'm struggling to find the right answer.
Unlock bootloader, and then either use cf-autoroot or flash latest SuperSU BETA through twrp.

Thanks, bootloader is already unlocked. I don't really want to install any custom recoveries, so the cf-autoroot sounds like the way to go.
Do you have a link for how to use this method?

to use a custom recovery you don't need to flash it.. just boot it.

I'm using Magisk (latest version). The easiest and convenient way to root your phone though, you still need to use a custom recovery (TWRP) to root using Magisk and indirectly, your bootloader still needs to be unlocked (if you haven't manage to flash a custom recovery on your phone yet).
Are you using a custom recovery (TWRP) for your phone right now @Tanvir/?
