I am having a problem on how to root it. I already unlocked bootloader and flashed twrp 3.1.0-1. SuperSU 2.82 fail.
Never mind. I successfully rooted it. All good now.

I just rooted and unlocked the bootloader on my HOX, but now I'm a little confused about what to do. I know I need to flash a custom recovery (I was going to flash TWRP through the goomanager app), but did I lose root when I unlocked my bootloader? Because when I open goomanager it doesn't ask for superuser authorization. So, do I have to install SuperSU again, then install BusyBox again as well? I'm a little lost here. But I'm glad I was able to root and unlock with little to no problems lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi,
I recently updated to 4.4.4 and I want to get TWRP and the Xposed Framework back. I'm not rooted and my bootloader is locked, but I do have s-off. When I try to flash TWRP, I get an error message (attachment below). Also, since the Xposed Framework requires root access, I can't use it since I can't use WeakSauce anymore and I'm not ready to dive into Sunshine. I was thinking about flashing the 4.4.4 rooted ROM that's available. Would this at least get me root access?
Thanks,

Not sure why you relocked, but since you have s off you can flash twrp recovery via a fastboot zip file. There are a few threads on XDA, but basically you need to put twrp in a zip alongside an android-info.txt file.

Were you running Windows as admin when you tried this?

You need to flash recovery in ruu mode as a zip just like beaups stated. But you can unlock your boot loader via HTCdev if your s-off. Just supercid your phone an then htcdev will unlock your boot loader. But you don't need a unlocked bootloader tho just exposing your choices...I know this works cause my last 2 phones I used java card for s-off an unlocked via htcdev myself.
VZW HTC One M8, 5.0.1
previously rooted, took OTA a few months ago.
how is it possible that I have S-OFF, an unlocked bootloader, TWRP 2.8.7.0 installed and have flashed SuperSU but still don't register as rooted?! my mind is BLOWN right now...

Bless your knowledge and experience.
Just got this phone new from cricket. I'm having issues making calls. I downloaded the update. But am wondering should I use it. I'm wanting to do custom roms exc. I have not unlocked boot loader or anything yet. If I do the update will I still be able to unlock the boot loader and root custom roms exc? 6045o is the type
First of all I suggest unlocking the bootloader, because if you update to MM you will lose fastboot commands (you can have them back but it's tedious). Then maybe install the latest TWRP, update to MM and then systemless root or custom ROM If you want to update to latest official firmware but don't want to lose TWRP/root just download the update without installing it and then flash it with chainfire's FlashFire.
thanks

First of all make sure you never mount /system as rw when using TWRP.
Then just do a systemless root (download SuperSU from chainfire website on your phone, launch TWRP's terminal and type "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu", then flash SuperSU as usual), systemless root won't be detected by apps/os. Will probably be detected by SafetyNet but i'm not sure PoGo uses it. In case you have problems with root detection you can try suhide by Chainfire.
Also note that systemless Xposed (rootcloak, etc) and V4A are possible via Magisk (just search it on XDA).
Hi all,
If I root my phone to be able to backup persist.img partition and then install IN21BA (instead of my IN21AA os), would I be able to unroot my phone and leave it like if I never rooted it or unlocked bootloader?
Thank you.
I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP, rooted, backed up persist.img, downgraded from version 10.5.10IN21AA to 10.5.6IN21AA and after that installed from smartphone the 10.5.7IN21BA firmware. Then checked that no root is available and recovery is stock. Locked bootloader again. All is working like a charm.
