It looks like my phone is unrooted after the 4.4.3 update. I tried to remove the weaksauce app, reinstall it along with SuperSU, rebooted but no luck. Any idea what to do now ?
I have weaksauce too so I can tether. I am scared to load the update in case I lose it.

If your still s off and unlocked you can just flash a recovery via fastboot and root it from there...

unfortunately i am not S-OFF and unlocked. I just had weaksauce and SuperSU root before. So there is no way to get it back ?

Only thing you might be able to do is try the sunshine method. It's 25 bucks but it will let you know if it can work with your phone.

Never... I repeat never take an Ota if you plan on modding your phone. Because things like this can happen.
Yah, the changelog specifically says that it fixes the root exploit.

WeakSauce is fixed in 4.4.3, we have known this was coming for months now. It won't be updated for a number of reasons. You need to unlock/s-off before updating to 4.4.3 to get root on 4.4.3 for now.
Firewater - unlock/s-off - Free - http://firewater-soff.com/ (does not work on all m8s. Does not work on 4.4.3)
SunShine - unlock/s-off - $25 - http://theroot.ninja/ (Does not work on 4.4.3 for the time being, will update)

If you can get on IRC ( http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=sunshine-support ) before I find another tester, I can probably s-off you. Offer goes for anyone on a 4.4.3 verizon m8, first come first server, one tester only.

I'm planning to go S-off and accepted the OTA update but didn't install it. The device seems to force you to schedule an installation. Is there a way to cancel the OTA before it installs.

Try to find where it's been downloaded to. On Motorola it was in the cache/fota folder. Once you find it, just use a root file explorer to move it somewhere else.

SunShine does two things, unlocks the bootloader, and s-offs the device.
So yes
pardon my old lady cautiousness, my verizon s-off m8 is having some issues charging and i was considering taking up verizon on the replacement which if it comes 4.4.3 with s-on, then i am not SoL because sunshine now supports s-off?

I've been looking around and it seems there isn't a lot we can do with the AT&T Note Pro? I've rooted and let SuperSU disable KNOX for me. Should I just go ahead and start debloating via TiBU or is there more that I can do? Thanks!
EDIT: Also if I install the newest update for it can I still root?
Well, it seems I may not be able to root after updating. Even after getting the PRO version of SuperSU and checking the box to try and get root to survive, I have lost root. Also now Towelroot says my device is no longer supported. I know I read of another root method, so I will try that and report back.

Well the other root method (CF-AutoRoot) isn't compatible with the P907A. So... can anyone give me some guidance on how to revert to an older firmware. I'm sure it's possible I just haven't ever had to do it, so I don't really know how.

I created a post outlining what to do in the Note Pro General forum.
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,
Dustin
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 did install the drivers exactly the way you suggest. My computer recognizes the phone as a drive. I just can't get it to show up on ADB. Thank you for the suggestion on the ruu. I may just let the OTA come though today to get rid of the message. Then, run the ruu when I figure this out more.

Somethings just can't be explained. Check this out. I have to use my 6 year old laptop with AMD Phenom II x4 because my desktop Intel i5-3570 cant send sh1t to my phone. It's always something. After trying to figure it out for hours, I gave into the PC Gods. I'm sure Dottat could solve it in 2 mins or less.
I only post to let you know others share your frustration. Honestly, if I didn't have an unlimited data plan, I might not even bother with modding anymore. I will follow your post, waiting for a solution too.

To use adb/htc_fastboot with the copy i have on the thread you were already linked all you need to do is unzip the file. You don't install adb/htc_fastboot... You just unzip and use. So long as your drivers are installed correctly.

Thank you, dottat. I have installed and re-installed the driver. My computer can see my phone, and pull it up as a disk drive. I can open the SDK and ADB. In the CMD window, when I type "adb devices", it starts the daemon successfully. Then, under list of devices, it is blank. Any ideas? Could i have downloaded the wrong SDK/ADB package and need to get yours? I'm really green with this software and Linux in general, so I may be missing something. 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.
THANK YOU!!!

What Android version you running?
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.

Hey everyone ... I got the OTA update for my HTC One (M8) on verizon a few weeks ago and now I've gotten bored with it and wanna play around with some new roms. I've been trying to unlock the bootloader and root and every single solution requires it to be on android 4.4.4 or less. 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.

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.
I updated to the latest version a few weeks ago, I am on 4.4.4 SU6-7.7. I am wondering if there is any possible root methods working for this update, or do I need to flash my device to a lower firmware then go from there?

Nope... I honestly doubt I will EVER get to find a root my phone. According to some people, it's nearly impossible.
I also gave up, is there a way to use xposed without root?
Never update...
Just do what everyone else does.. Download KingRoot app and keep checking back momentarily. No root = NO XPOSED
Download SunShine from theroot.ninja and check eligibility. If compatible, pay $25 - or not. Good luck to you
