So my Verizon HTC One M8 screen had a yellowish tint in the bottom left corner and I was gonna send it in to HTC. So I flashed a stock ROM, locked the boot loader and turned s-on. Then I removed SuperSU using Universal Unroot. My phone then did an OTA update of 4.4.3 which was fine until I noticed SuperSU was back but I didn't have root so there was no way to removed it. Then I opened the bootloader just searching for some way to figure out how to remove SuperSU and it said ***tampered*** at the top. I looked up a guide to remove that but it required s-off and an unlocked bootloader. When I went to do that I learned at WeakSauce no longer works on 4.4.3. Since I have SuperSU installed, Sunshine wont work either.
Oh and apparently HTC knew my phone had been rooted when I called the support line to see about fixing the issue.
Any ideas on how to return this to factory to attempt to trick HTC or at least regain roo? Honestly have no clue what to do, my hands seem tied.
If you want root back on 4.4.3 you'll have to pay $25 to use sunshine. Normally its a one time fee but in your case you will need to pay twice if you want to S-OFF again when you get it back.

Hi,
I was wondering if there was any way to get a password from the standard android browser as i have forgotten what the password is but it is still remembered by the phone. Are there any plugins I can get or anything like that? And root apps that might do it for me?
Thanks in advance

I don't understand in the thread - what do I have to do?
1, You must be rooted.
2, Install SQLite Editor from Play Store
3, Open app, wait until all apps are listed
4, Tap Internet -> webview.db -> password
5, All your passwords stored in default web browser should be listed there
I just tested it on my Desire S, and found my stored facebook password
Thanks, what is the easiest way to root my htc desire s? S-on 2.3.5 and latest hboot i think
If you are not rooted yet, it's irrelevant to root now, because you will loose all your data during downgrade and rooting.
Check my signature btw, i was also downgrading from latest RUU, S-ON, LOCKED, same as you.
But you have no reason to do it now, because as i said, you will loose your data.
Maybe temprooting and then installing the mentioned app would work.
But im not sure.
It's worth try in my oppinion. By temprooting you will not loose anything. After rebooting the phone, it will be in it's previous state, untouched...
As i said, check link in my sig.
The 1st step, but don't push misc_version, you don't need to when you are not going to downgrade.. Push just zergrush, or tacoroot, depending on your SW version.
Better wait for someone more experienced, as im still prety new here, and don't want to make brick of your phone.
Thanks - but I think I have found a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390496 What do you think to this?
Big No No, from me.
Someone in that thread commented and said, that you have first to unlock your phone via htc-dev unlock. Unlock the phone officialy via htc site and according to their manual steps.
What does it mean to you ? You have to put your IMEI on the website, so they're absolutely sure, that you have been trying something with your phone and you loose your warranty. There's no step back.
Temprooting on the otherside, as the title say is temporary. After reboot, it's gone. In my oppinion - ideal for you. But i don't have unrooted desire s to test if SQLite will work.

I thought that you mean this as "fully rooted".
Since not just flash custom recovery and then use SuperOneClick to push Su and Superuser app, or search for a flashable zip. This will give you root.

Because with the stock you will not be able to flash the su binary. Custom recovery has root access by default, contrary to your current one and the OS itself.
You can use zergrush from the guide you posted above but this approach involves more manual steps. Anyway each if the mentioned ways will give you the same result it is up to you to decide what will be easier to do for yourself
Btw Superoneclick automates zergrush and the su flashing so search for it. I think this is the most straightforward method

Yes, sorry for the messy explanation but there are a really lot of ways to root your phone.
If you use the Superoneclick you will permanently root your device with one button click. This is an application for Windows, just search xda for it
Edit: you bootloader should be unlocked to do this, so I hope you did not relocked it

Has anyone yet provided a step by step video by chance? I know nothing about adb stuff as I've never had to use it so reading the firewater instructions I'm a little lost :/. Haven't tried installing weak sauce root either yet, is this easy or a video? I believe i need weak sauce root installed first? Then S-Off, then I install twrp? How would I install twrp and after I do install does it then install full root then can delete weak sauce?
I'm sorry I know this literally was release an hour ago but just hate to brick my device out of ignorance and not knowing. Appreciate any help for someone like me that doesn't use adb or sure of the methods and steps here.
I believe a few people are working on videos as we speak. Should be done soon.

has anyone tried to flash the kernel yet?
It looks like we have R/W access without doing this after firewater. I've added/removed stuff from /system without any issues(apps, priv-apps, stuff from the media resources, etc)
edit: I've done probably 20 reboots with no issues along the way of modding stuff and still everything is fine.

nevermind you answer is in your edit
You do not need this kernel mod after you have S-off'ed and perm rooted.

Hi everyone,
I am new to android mods. I just bought a used vzw M8 running 4.4.4. I unlocked and got S off using sunshine. Rooted with WS2, and verified. Installed SuperSU. Stock otherwise. I have installed the SDK on my laptop. I can't get any devices to show up when i use the adb devices command.
I am trying to figure out how to disable the OTA for Lollipop. Does anyone know if the OTA will re-lock or bypass my root? Can you help me disable if it is an issue?
Eventually, I'd like to go to a different (cleaned up) ROM and 5.X, but i need to make sure the evil red monster doesn't mess up my work first. I have spent several hours searching the forums, and have made some progress. If there are any detailed posts to point me to, I'd appreciate any and all help.
Thank you,

Did you install the HTC drivers? If not install HTC sync manager (I think that's the name) and it'll install them for u then u can uninstall HTC sync manager and you should get adb to recognize your device. Ota will not relock your device. It will take off root tho. But you can just flash custom recovery and flash su in there. I'd suggest since your s off to flash dottats s off 5.0.1 ruu over in the development section once you get adb working. It is also pre rooted and will get up and running on lollipop.

Check this thread out for blocking the OTA http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/help/block-ota-updates-t2871520 It is also my understanding that just being rooted will cause the OTA to fail. I may be wrong about that, however.

I'm hoping I can get comms worked out and load your RUU file soon. Can I go ahead and take the 5.0 OTA without worry? I have root, s off, and BL unlock. SuperSU fails to update.

On 4.4.3 and over sunshine will s off and unlock bootloader together, but its a 50/50 chance. I personally used firewater and weaksauce but I was on 4.4.2 when I did it but VZW closed that exploit in 4.4.3.

I can't figure this out and was wondering if anyone could help me out or let me know if there was a way to still do this. Thanks

You are stuck. No root/unlock for Verizon on the 5.0.1 update and no way to downgrade.
As of yet, at least.
I'm in the same boat. I really wish I would have unlocked when I had 4.4.x running. Now I'm stuck with 5.0.1 and stock bloatware until SunShine updates. argh.....

Until SunShine updates, you may disable most bloatware in the app manager.
When I run Sunshine it says I already have S-Off from previous root, what do I need to do if anything?
When I run supersu it says no su binary installed and that if I just upgraded to android 5.0 I need to manually reroot. and when I try to run twrp manager, it says root is required.

you probably just need to flash twrp via fastboot and then root.

Flash TWRP 2.8.6.0 via fastboot. Then you can install super-su or a custom ROM.

What rom are you running?
Try enabling root for apps & adb in developer settings

Oh yes, and don't use twrp manager
Just received an insurance replacement and goofed with an OTA 5.0.1. . Sunshine says I need to be rooted first. What do I do to root so I can s off. Thanks in advance for any input. I have been out of the loop for a bit and need to freshen up on this htc forum

sorry, but you are stuck until sunshine gets an update that includes VZW devices on Lollipop.
Does anyone have an ETA on the SunShine update?
Really. Don't ask for ETA's.

There a thread in paid apps to follow, but don't don't ask for ETA's

Whenever they find an exploit.
I'm just guessing here but I think they might be working hard on getting the M9 (verizon ) S-off and unlocked before doing anything with the M8 Lollipop .......just MHO
Started OTA and Stopped 1/2 Way
***UPDATE***
I answered my own question. I was just able to run Sunshine and it tested my phone. My gosh how relevied I was to see that it passed. Talk about dodging a bullet!
_______________________________
I, like the posts above, got a refurb M8. I did one update, but held off on the other.
I checked and I'm still running 4.4.4.
Do I have a chance of rooting/s-offing/unlocking?
Will sunshine work and what do I use to root? I used weaksauce before, but that isn't supposed to work now (from what I hear).
I'm glad I didn't to the last OTA update, but not sure where to start/turn now. Actually I only postponed it for 12 hours. It really wants me to update. {getting worried}
Thanks;
A (very very hopefull) Bug :fingers-crossed:
The hold up on both the m8 and m9 is a root exploit for android 5. The security in android 5 has taken a huge leap forward and closed all of the known root exploits. Until another is found, verizon devices are stuck unless you go the java card route. Just look browse the verizon note 4 forums, they don't have a root exploit either.

Better answer than the extremely rude one I received earlier. Even though I was in the wrong for asking for an ETA, there was a better way of telling me to not ask that.
Hey everyone,
So I found online that the AT&T update to Marshmellow started on 2-8-16. I haven't been able to find anything officially from AT&T but apperently the version is H81020n and its 971 MB. Has anyone gotten the update yet?
Just saw this thread and figured I'd check. Went into the update center and notification popped up for new 950mb update. Must be it cause I was already on 10o. Didn't even have to use LG Bridge like the other carrier guys were doing.
Will post back with an update once completed

It's official now. You can check it at http://www.att.com/esupport/article...are&siteId=JAF5WzpxbKM-2ZjtzA2obzUjSzdgu.LzJA
I just wonder if I can update via LG Bridge without an AT&T sim since I bought a second hand one and don't have AT&T sim now.

I would have done this but didn't even think about it when I saw the update come through. Was happy to finally be getting 6.0
Hopefully somebody else can help you with that.
I fell asleep during the update process but just finished running the Debloater tool and getting rid of all the att/lg junk! So far so good. Will be keeping an eye on battery life over the next couple days.

Debloater does not need root as long as you are running KitKat or newer :good:. Without root it just freezes/disables the apps instead of completely removing them.
edit : these are the apps i block using debloater without losing any functionality i need : http://pastebin.com/d64Vydmy

So, and I apologize if this is a stupid question, will Chainfire's advances in the systemless SuperSU help us when it comes to rooting Marshmallow on our H810?
can we update AT&T phone OTA outside the US without at&t sim card???

not possible. you can't modify the system files and boot without a modified kernel. We don't have an unlocked bootloader, so no kernels, thus no root.
if you root MM your phone will just loop without the custom kernel.

so the file it downloaded isn't a zip... it's just 'dlpkgfile'
7zip can open it but there's a similar file inside and that one can't be opened.... dunno.

That's the missing piece I needed to understand. Thanks! Sucks, but thanks! :highfive:
got it! looks good to me - so far...
I upgraded early yesterday morning and my phone has been hot almost all the time!! The battery life is way worse than prior to the upgrade. I have cleaned out all my junk files and cache rebooted and recharged a few times. Also optimized my apps a few times. I just picked up my phone after 2 hours of no use and it was warm and the battery is draining at a faster rate than with Lollipop... Anybody else experiencing this?
Awesome, glad the update is out....I haven't done the update just yet...waiting to see if we hear anything about root. I'm wondering if we are still able to downgrade via TOT method if need be...if that's the case then i'll update ASAP. I actually have heard that there are some battery issues with the update, but again I'm not on 6.0 yet so I can't tell you from my experience.
2 questions
So their is no root ?
Also can I just unistall SuperSU and update or do I need to wait tell I'm home and flash a clean image

No root.
I've never managed to update w/o flashing the unrooted version of whatever rooted version I'm running. If there's an easier way, I'm not aware of it.
H8101o
