Guys,

Have a problem with my M8 and not sure what's the cause of it all. Its an M8 that's been converted to a GPE edition via: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708589.

Problem:

The phone keeps restarting randomly, comes on for about a minute and then restarts.

How it started:

Just received the phone back from HTC, I sent it in to get a loose speaker grill fixed. Up until then the phone has been fine on GPE (4.4.2). Prior to me sending it in, the phone had an unlocked boot loader, s-off, custom recovery and rooted.

I made HTC aware of the state of my phone as well as telling them that its an original M8 converted into a GPE version, They didn't have a problem with it and fixed the device under warranty. But on receiving the phone back, HTC have relocked the boot loader and put s-on back, its still rooted.

So first thing i did was unlock the boot loader which went smoothly, next up was firewater to get s-off back. That didn't worked as HTC has apparently patched the exploit so im still with s-on.

After that is where its all gone down hill :D, tried a nandroid backup, worked initially then the restart began. Did a factory reset and that seemed to work until I tried installing apps, and then the problem came back.

Does any one have any idea what might be the cause or solution? If i had s-off id re flash the RUU, but obviously cant do that.

The reason for the reboots is SuperSU v2.00

after updating SuperSU my phone gone completely crazy and keeps rebooting every 1 or 2 minutes, had to Disable the app and no problem so far

hope ChainFire fix it ASAP

OH i was thinking about something like that, when i check my active processes Right before it reboots, SuperSu is on. I was just about to sideload viper, now i might try this for a sec !

Hang on

Edit : That works, SuperSu is screwed..
