After searching I found and tried this tool, requires S-OFF.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870652 ..... my phone rooted, (just hit -"Root Device").
I'm on stock 4.2.2 stock recovery etc, I have flashes the xpirt's Stock Modded Kernel.
This worked for me K2u (possibly for the other versions), try at your own risk.
Nice tool. Though, I would prefer to flash supersu manually vice something like this. This way I am fully aware of what is taking place, but this is my personal preference.
However, this is a nice find so thank you for sharing it here.

Not sure if you've noticed here in the forums but, custom recoverys aren't paying nice with guys that have updated to 4.2.2
Some of them had an updated Hboot inside their OTA.
This is why he has posted this I'm sure.
Just so your on the same page.
:thumbup:
Ah, was unaware of this issue. Thanks for updating me.

Your welcome sir.
Yes, should be downgrade from hboot 2.21 to hboot 2.0 to be able to flash recovery
and do not want that.
Hmmm, now that you mention it, I do recall see @old.splatterhand giving a warning about him having to downgrade the hboot.... Sorry, don't have 4.2.2 yet, but I wonder once custom recovery is flashed if going back to 2.21 is safe? Personally, I wouldn't know at this time.

Hi.
I have problem ERROR 7. I try flash some ROMS, and last flash crashed and write ERROR 7. I found some solutions, but every time you need copy some files to memory on phome. BUT.. my System doesnt start, then I have no chance to copy files to phone. When system start, every time go to recovery
How can i fix it?
PLS help Mi..
THX..
If I'm right, error 7 is an issue with the updater-script. Try redownloading the ROM, because it could be a bad download, but if it still doesn't work, switch recoveries

If you were trying to flash KitKat without CWM 6.0.4.3 or a wrong ROM for your phone you'll get this message.. It is generally due to the updater script..
What phone do you have, and what rom were you installing?

Try a 4.1,4.2, or 4.3 ROM... If you get the same message reflash a new download of CWM and try again..

I just got my device today and rooted with WeakSauce. As expected, firewater failed. I am wonder if I need to have S-OFF in order to flash TWRP and/or some custom ROMs. If I don't need it, I'd rather save the $25 that I'd have to spend on SunShine.

How do you install a recovery with weakauce root only? That would be new to me
Edit. You either need s-off or s-on with unlocked bootloader. An you need s-off on HTC VZW m8 to unlock bootloader ..

Thanks for clearing that up. Been a while for me. Just got my M8 and last time I had to root was on my DNA when VZ still let us unlock the bootloader.

Sorry for the noobish question that I should know, but it's been a while since I've used an HD.
I picked up a used HD on 9.18.94. Can I simply sideload 183.46.10 and run the bootloader unlock? My first goal is the bootloader then I can flash root and unlock the radios so my wife can use it on ATT

Just received a replacement phone from Amazon. It has a Viper Rom wallpaper (default). Is it possible this phone could have been rooted and unlocked before and Verizon didn't catch it? If so can it be re-rooted easily? Root checker app says it's not rooted.

Check recovery
It i's possible, have you checked the recovery screen?
Yeah, just did. S-on locked. It is still 4.4.4 so still hope I guess. If I can keep it from updating before I use Sunshine.

As soon as u login to your google account it would have loaded your wall paper. So unless u did not login and it booted straight to home screen then the phone wasn't wiped before it was sent to you.
