I'll try and be as specific as possible as I hate having to resort to new threads when so many are out there, but I'm really at a loss.
Factory new phone (Verizon m8) or as close too it as possible.
Have tried multiple times installing Weaksauce and SU with the binaries but the binaries never install. Always fail and ask for reboot. The root is activated upon reboot after a minute or so. Rootchecker says root is activated and I have granted permission for a number of apps (Root Checker, Root Explorer, adb shell). I have uninstalled and reinstalled via the instructions and always the same issue of the binaries not installed.
Since the root was activated I have attempted to install firewater anyway.
I was unable to get the push command to work so instead I moved the firewater file into the /data/local/tmp manually with Root Explorer.
I attempt the firewater installation however get the following error when I input the chmod 755 command:
adb shell
shell@htc_m8wl:/ $ chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
Unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/firewater: Operation not permitted
I have given SU privileges to the adb shell and accepted the prompt on my phone. Upon running the last command in the firewater instructions it executes, chugs, but then states the "whelp, firewater doesn't work on your device, yadadada".
I notice when I do the adb reboot command and the phone reboots the "HTC MTP Device" driver always fails when coming back from an adb reboot. I have installed the HTC Sync for the drivers and removed the Sync program. Could this be a driver issue? Or something else? I'm not sure why the chmod 755 command is not permitted? Is that potentially the issue as well?
I can wipe the phone to new if needed. Any assistance would be appreciated.
