Some old familiar Dev names popping up
So I assume once we HTC Unlock and we flash this, TWRP can do it's "Minimal" Root thing to start?
And we'll have a Stock Rooted ROM?
P.S. I'm on Sprint.

Will it be possible to root it without overwriting the existing recovery? When I get mine, all I will want is root access on the stock build after I've run the HTC unlock. Otherwise you run into problems getting OTA updates as released.
I had a similar issue with my HTC One X, but thankfully was able to get the original recovery to push back onto it after installing the SuperSU app with the custom recovery. Would rather not have to wait until there are updates out there before I can do the same thing with the M8!
If you want the OTA's you just need to lock again. And you can usually use the same Unlock Key again so the 2nd time around is fairly quick.
EDIT: Oops I forgot.
Relock I think forces Factory Reset. At least that will be easier to deal with on this phone with the SD Card. Backup to SD. Lock. OTA. Re-Unlock and Restore.

So exciting Mike is picking up this phone! His is the only rom I ran on my M7!
Feels like a High School Reunion as we intersect with similar choices every few years
Found Memories of these two Dev's.
