Hi,
You can easily root a 5.0.1 stock HTC One M8 using the following method.
1. Download KingRoot and Sunshine.
2. Run KingRoot. If the phone reboots, run KingRoot again once it's back on. If it fails, re-run King Root. It took me about 5 tries to get temporary root.
3. Run Sunshine. It will test your phone for Root. Once passed, it will ask you to buy a license ($25). Then it will reboot.
4. Run KingRoot again. Again, keep running it until you achieve temporary root.
5. Run Sunshine to achieve S-OFF.
Congrats, you're now rooted. Next, you'll want to install a custom recovery (such as TWRP via ADB) and a custom ROM (if you want). Guides to do that are a-plenty.

Sunshine will be updated shortly to allow sunshine to root 4.17.605.5 without the need for kingroot. I posted a downgrade guide that will work for achieving this too.

Hello everyone,
I am interested in rooting my sensation but I want to stay on stock ROM and do not want to lose OTA updates.
So there are few questions (sorry if they have been asked before but I couldnt find any answers for them on the forum):
1. If I unlock the bootloader the official way that HTC provides via htcdev website, will I be able to root my phone given the phone will stay in S-ON status?
2. If I set S-OFF the way that is described here on the forums, will I be forced to install custom recoveries like clockwork to be able to get root?
I just want everything to stay stock but with root. Also OTAs are important to me.
Thank you,
Yash

- You can't root without S-OFF and a Custom Recovery..
- SuperUser binary files (root) are installed through the custom recovery using a signed su zip file..
- You can't install a custom recovery without S-OFF.
- You can't install OTA updates with a custom recovery.
BUT:
- You can S-OFF (I recommend using Revolutionary).
- Install the su zip file (to give you root access).
- Install your stock recovery again using Android Recovery Manager.
- Now you'll be able to install OTA updates and have root access at the same time. (If you delete any system application, OTA updates will fail though.)
1 Click Root for Sensation?
Is there an APK that will accomplish a 1 Click Root such as the one for the EVO?
'ONE CLICK ROOT for the EVO... a simple .apk file and run it'

Thanks for your answer. Is there any reason why one cannot be developed? What would it be worth if someone developed one? I am sure there any many people who would be willing to pay for this. I for one, would be willing. any takers?
I'm kinda new to this I have rooted older phones but this is my first time attempting on my verizon htc M8 I can not seem to find the unlock bootloader and the s-off to be able to root and install a GPE with OTA so that I can get lollipop on my phone. Is there anyone who can help me out and lead me in the right direction so that I can get this done my head is spinning with all the things I've read. I know weaksauce no longer works and well now that i have confirmed it does not work on my phone I'm back up against a wall. Thank you for anyone who can help me out. :good:
Assuming you are on 4.4.4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2971591
this version of weaksauce will get you temp root. You will then need to install the sunshine.apk and pay the $25 and that will unlock your boot loader and get you s-off. You will then need to install a custom recovery and after that, boot into said recovery. You will need to install the SuperSU.zip to get permanent root. Then you should be able to flash your gpe rom zip and such. That's the broad general overview .
thanks

Ah. Some people have been able to get sunshine to work on 4.4.4 with weak sauce 2, so it was a gamble whether or not it would work for you.
Hi guys
I have one E8 (m8sx) build 709 , yesterday I get update to android 5
and now I want root my phone , tell me how can root my phone
Try Framaroot, you dont need a computer and it installs in a matter of seconds. Open up Framaroot and select an exploit (if one doesnt work then try another). Then run Root checker basic and it hopefully will say it has root access.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Use latest supersu, flash from twrp recovery.
Your device should be unlocked first.
Hi, I have an HTC One M8 on 5.0.1 and I have little knowledge with rooting. I want to root my phone because there are some apps I want to use that are only capable of being used if my phone is rooted. I've tried Kingo root and it doesn't work on my phone so I was wondering if someone can give me instructions and download links so I can root my phone. If you can it would be much appreciated, thanks.

You have 2 options at the moment.
1) Ship device to one of the many great people with a Java Card/XTC2 Clip - Look at the OP of this thread to see where the people are located.
2) With some time and luck - King Root, which has been proven to work for a number of M8 users.

I was able to get S-Off using the KingRoot and Sunshine method. Now what? Although I did get root long enough to get S-off, I lose it after each time I get temp root with the KingRoot app again. KingRoot will say that I have root, but I can't get SuperSU to install.
I am doing a factory reset now and will try to use KingRoot to get temp root, then install SuperSU. Will I then be able to install TWRP after SuperSU is installed correctly?

If you are S-OFF, then I would flash a custom recovery and then a custom ROM (if you want)
or flash superSU in the custom recovery if you just want root.
Once S-OFF you are in full control of your device, so do some reading about it as you can end up with an expensive paperweight easily if you don't know what you're doing.
Or try vroot, i rooted my phone in just 1 tap
dexter0218, I think it would be BIG BIG news here if there were a one-click root solution for the newest M8. 5.01 phones aren't rootable easily.
boltz111, no need to fiddle with SuperSU. Now that you are S-Off, make sure you have ADB and get the latest TWRP for the M8. Drop to your ADP shell and do:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.zip
(sub in the name of your zip)
That's it. Then:
- Power down
- Power up in bootloader (hold down vol)
- Go to recovery
You have to go to recovery before booting or else the rom will overwrite the recovery.
Once you're in TWRP, you can load up SuperSU from a .zip and it will do its thing.
Or flash a rooted ruu from fastboot, loads you back to stock but with perm root, never had an issue
So... I broke my old Verizon M8 that was rooted. Got new one and upgraded it to 6.0.
Now I am trying to root it and get s-off.
From what I remember and my notes I need to temp root it with KingRoot, then use Sunshine to get s-off, after that I can install TWRP, and after that SuperSU binaries for permanent root.
I followed these steps
factory reset,
Installed KingRoot
did RUU using DOTTAT_VZWM8_M_S_ON_6_0_RUU.zip
Enabled USB Debug
Enabled High precision GPS
Enabled Mock location (set it to KingRoot)
Now I am running KingRoot and it keeps restarting at 18-20%.
Anything I am missing?
Did I had to do it with Android 5.0 and I can't root it with 6.0?
Thank You
UPDATE: So I guess Sunshine can now temproot it self. I installed it, it updated to latest one, was able to gain temp root, and now I am S-OFF and boot loader unlocked.
Moral of the story: RTFM.
