I unlocked using Sunshine then followed the steps from TWRP 2.8. I installed GooManager_2.1.3.apk
<Install the app and open it. Tap menu then hit Install OpenRecoveryScript. Tap Yes. Verify that the filename displays your device's code name and hit Yes. The file will download and your device will reboot and install the recovery automatically.>
When I open GooManager I get a pop up window that says:
<h1>Not Found</h1><p>The requested URL /message was not found on this server.</p>
When I go to menu and "Install OpenRecoveryScript" I get a message saying it was unable to find a recovery for my device. I found this info under HTC One M8 2014 Verizon page so it has to be for my device.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure I didn't use that sunshine method when I did mine there is a manual method that was free I used back then. I thought you had to install towel root first before you could use sunshine correct? If you installed towelroot and you are rooted you may have to download super user from the market so that way you can run Flashify and run your recovery image. When you run flashify does it ask you to grant root where you can push ok?

If ur rooted it should work. Download root checker from play store. Run the app it will tell u if ur rooted. I didnt use sunshine to gain S-off. I'm sure there's a video out of a mac method

Good call root checker from the market will definitely let you know if you're rooted. Like I said you may have to download super user from the market. I couldn't imagine sunshine not rooting the device. But once again I didn't use that method either so I'm not a hundred percent sure how it works

Looks like this tool kit would give you the ability to root through windows. Obviously you won't have to use the unlock or any of that since you're already done with that through sunshine.

Just get a copy of fastboot for the MAC, there are copies floating around the web. Or you can just download the Android SDK, it will have adb and fastboot and they are both free. Then just open a terminal in mac. Browse to where the fastboot file is, copy the TWRP .img file to the same folder, and run ./fastboot flash recovery nameOfRecoveryFile (where nameOfRecoveryFile is the name of the .img TWRP file you downloaded). That will flash the device directly.

Adb is definitely a good thing to have and learn, I just want to say that as long as your rooted you can use flashify from the play store to flash recoveries on this phone, I do it all of the time. It's the fastest and easiest way.
Thanks for all the help guys. I'll check that out.

To get root after using Sunhine you need to flash SuperSU in recovery. So you have to get the recovery on your phone first and the only way is in fastboot.
Once you have fastboot set up there is no easier and safer way to flash recoveries and it gives you many options for trouble shooting to boot.
Invest some time to get fastboot working on your Mac. You'll thank yourself later if and when you run into some trouble. To have a working fastboot connection to your Android device is absolutely essential if you start flashing custom software IMHO.
GooManager is no longer supported for flashing TWRP and be careful with Flashify, TWRP manager and similar apps. People have managed to flash stuff to the wrong partition using apps like that. And that will not happen in fastboot....

Hey Guys So i was able to successfully unload my bootloader and root my phone via 2.20 root temp method. Now i've run into a wall where I seem to be following the directions, but can't seem to get it to work.
So after my phone was unlocked etc after the whole token thingy... (Sorry this is my first time since 3-4 years ago that i have rooted.. Last phone was a Droid X so excuse my ignorance).... Anyhow so my phone got reset and all and booted back and everything was fine and working.. Now according to the thread in order to flash a ROM of my choice i need to install some sort of Recovery tool. The instructions say to install TWRP-2.3.1.0-evita.img. I have put the .img on the same folder c:android that i have created where i have the adb, fastboot files. I open up a command prompt window and run the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.3.1.0-evita.img and it says "waiting for device" and get's stuck there and nothing happens.
According to the post it is supposed to install it and restart my phone automatically, however nothing happens. I am afraid if i reboot my phone and try again that my temp root will go away and will have to redo-everything all over again. Additionally I have tried the market place method where you download "Goomanager" and install the twrp img via menu>openrecoveryscript and choose to download, however i get an error when attempting to download. Can someone point me in the right direction. And will i lose temp root if i reboot my phone?
"Hey guys i just notice i did not run the "adb fastboot" command to tell my phone to reboot first prioer to trying to flash the twrip image. Sorry"

I just downloaded superuser and busybox. Also i downloaded root checker and when i click on check root it says my phone is NOT PROPERLY ROOTER. Can this be because of how HTC ONE X gets temp rooted and this app doesn't work properly? How can i check for sure if i'm rooted? I mean i can get into TWRP recovery and everything with no issues. Thanks.
I believe that because you did not download superuser before reboot. I think you lost root. Might want to try again.

So after i Ran the run.bat and did the entire cid and then token thingy from HTC site and unlocked my bootloader the phone rebooted on it's own.
I believe i need to install superuser via recovery or flash a rom first then install not sure.. the way the dev wrote this phrase is confusing to me.. Check it out...
10. After unlocking the bootloader, you can flash a custom recovery partition via fastboot, boot into recovery mode, and use a recovery ADB shell or install from an update.zip to install Superuser and su (I do not provide support for custom recoveries, but this is a straightforward process that other people can help with).
I mean every step form 1-9 all went successfully. Can you provide me with some tips ?
Oh OK. I get it. Give a sec I'll post what you need.

So i did not download the CM recovery as i already had the TWRP recovery installed prior to my post. I put the superuser zip file in my CD Card then i adb reboot recovery within command prompt which brought me into the Team Win Recovery Project V2.3.1.0, I then selected install and choose the superuser zip file you linked me to download, however it fails with errors. Do you know what I am doing wrong?
I think this all has to happen before rebooting after the new root process. So CID, then flash recovery, load and flash superuser, then reboot. I'm not sure how others are getting it to stick. I'm rooted on 1.85 with both my HOX's

Hey guys I have successfully rooted my att onex 2.20 via the new root method. I also have install twrp recovery. Now what version of super user do I download from their website so I can flash it to my device? The arm or the x86?
Stop right there. Did you see a superuser.apk for download on this forum? DON'T GO AROUND FLASHING RANDOM CRAP! If it's not in this forum (att one x and one xl) it's not for your phone.
If you're rooted you already have it installed. Check it with an app called root checker.
If it says you're not rooted, flash a custom ROM (that you found in the dev section) and you will be.

Are you on stock with twrp installed?
I believe it was a temp root, so root is gone after you reboot, but it allowed for a permanent boot loader unlock.
you will need to flash an su binary package and then download a superuser app from the play store.
Or go flash ViperXL or something

Thanks so much man! Worked like a charm. Ok, last thing and then ill take my newb behind to bed: bootloader is unlocked, I have a custom rom on my sd card but for some reason I can't seem to boot to recovery. Rom manager says it's an unauthorized action and that I'm not rooted, and when I try to manually boot to recovery, it gets stuck at the HTC screen with red lettering underneath. I flashed clockwork and twrp on there (may be the issue, though I did try with just clockwork to begin with), so I'm just lost here man. Am I just too inexperienced to even be trying this or is this common failure due to being a rookie? LoL Thanks for helping before, any guidance is much appreciated.

Your boot.img is most likely fine, you just need to restore your system partition. Did you make a backup of your device using your custom recovery? If so, then you need to restore using that backup. Otherwise, I can provide a link to either my TWRP backup (not CWM compatible), an RUU, or my deodexed Rom. Your choice. First, if you already have a backup made up, then apply it. Otherwise, let me know.

Download, and run this on your windows computer. Your device will need to be plugged in via usb to your computer also.

It will fix your device completely.

I got it out of bootloop using CMW and flashing (K2CLCconversionN) rom but now i have nothing but that rom i had a backup but can't find it. I'm going to flash TWRP recovery and try to find a good rom that will work for (BOOST) K2CL, at this point i've had no luck. Thanks for trying to help me. do you know any got roms or links to one that will work.

Just a pointer from someone who used to use CWM if you flash twrp recovery its a lot cleaner, with more options than CWM. since your going back stock I would recommend flashing twrp recovery in place of CWM

I had TWRP on before CWM but even when i would load that it would still bootloop thats why i used CWM. Just one question if i want to root it again without a system control app this time will i be able to use this exe file to restore it if it happens again. it took me a year before i tried it because the first time there was no roms and i bootlooped that HTC one SV and had to fork over $300.00 bucks for a new one but i figured that i would root it because of busybox.
Again Thanks...Your a life saver if this works.I'll let you know when i'm done

Its an ruu, an ruu is about as legit as you are going to get when it comes to restoring your phone. So yes, it will work . If your phone bootlooped when you flashed twrp in the past then my guess is that you either used the wrong fastboot commands and wrote it to another partition by accident, or you used a TWRP that was not presumably built for your phone and thus used another TWRP designed for another device.

If you are about to do something to your phone, make sure you know exactly what you are doing, why you are doing it, how it works, why it works, should I make a mistake what are my escape routes, and if all else fails - plan B. If none of these are set to mind then I recommend you do absolutely nothing to your phone until you actually understand its method.

In lamen terms, if you cannot stand in front of a class and teach them the concept behind the madness then you yourself probably shouldn't be dancing on thin ice either because you may sink and drown
Dont hesitate to ask a question on here before proceeding further if there is something you do not fully understand.

Bootloader must be unlocked if you are S-On.

Thank you for everything. This is forth phone I've rooted a phone. First three where easy : evo 4g, galaxy 3s, galaxy prevail. But this was tricky not as many rims out there for it. Again thank you. Now that I fixed it I'm going root it again just no system tweaking apps for me
Hi, So i just bought this device and I've looked all over the internet to root my htc one sv on BOOST mobile. I unlocked the bootloader but then must have been following the wrong guide and flashed a wrong recovery or something. I can boot just not into recovery, it gets stuck "entering recovery". Does anyone know a recent and more updated way to root this device?! Thank you so much in advance!

Dude! Thank you so much! It worked!
So it's been a long time since ive had a rooted htc device, where can I start on the basics of what I can and cannot flash/ do to my specifi htc on sv on boost?
Finally tried gaining s-off with Firewater last night and got the whelp message so figure sunshine is only option. Just a quick question with respect to getting up to date. Should this be the order I proceed in:
1. Sunshine
2. Take OTA to get current firmware/radios
3. Flash TWRP via adb.
4. Install new ROM
Downloaded the new CleanROM last night but might wait a bit before going with it as daily. Oh, and does the OTA just do an update without a full wipe?

If you're going s-off there's no need to take the OTA...flash TWRP, flash the latest firmware and then flash a new rom and you're good to go. It's best to get in the habit of never taking an OTA.
Thanks. Don't think I've ever taken one other than on my work phone, just wasn't sure when I would be changing Rom to one with new base and firmware. Thought there might be some improvements with new radios and firmware until I switched.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
You could flipflop 1 and 2 and let the OTA take care of the firmware for you then run sunshine since it works on 4.4.3
Should I uninstall sunshine after running it and gaining s-off?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
I've never used sunshine so I couldn't tell you for sure. But I don't think you need it anymore so I don't see the harm in removing it. You don't need it to get root back if you ever lose it, and if you were to lose S-OFF for whatever reason you'd still have to pay $25 regardless of you having it installed or not...so yeah lol
Makes sense. Btw, thought sunshine required root? If Weaksauce doesn't work in 4.4.3 how does sunshine gain root?

Will custom rom works in all countries or they available to all countries. .....unlike official roms

Ok , so plan to run through this tomorrow, just want to triple check I have the steps right(currently on 4.4.2 with Weaksauce)
1. Run Sunshine, obtain s-off
2. Take OTA (I know I could just flash firmware)
3. Flash TWRP via fastboot
4. Reboot into recovery, flash SuperSU
5. Run like this for a few days
6. When ready flash new ROM via TWRP

If your phone is on firmware 4.4.2 keep trying firewater and it will work. Dont open su just install it, and after doing the adb reboot open up weaksauce to make sure it shows your rooted I have found that is where the problem getting firewater to work lies.
If your getting root after the adb reboot then it will work on firmware 4.4.2, but if weaksause is not giving root after adb reboot then firewater will fail every time.
I have done many for people using firewater and it always wont work for me until I manually open waeksauce after you do the adb reboot and it reboots the phone.

Thanks. I've tried Firewater a few times w/o much luck. Tried it both w/ SuperSu and Superuser and had same results. Just retried it after opening the Weaksauce app but it did the same.
Do you know if the rest of the steps are correct if I have to use Sunshine?

Whatever you do DO NOT take an OTA. There's no reason for it and it may cause more trouble than it's worth.
Download and run Sunshine. Now you're S-off and bootloader unlocked.
Flash TWRP 2.8.0.1 in fastboot
Then go here, download and flash the 4.4.3 firmware and radios in fastboot:

Now you are ready to flash any 4.4.3 based custom rom like CleanROM 2.0
