[Q] reliable rooting service

jesternsb said:

Hey folks, Happy Friday!!!

I am going to be picking up a M8 here this weekend and wanted some suggestions on a rooting service.

All my prior phones I have taken the time to root and flash ROM’s…etc, life has just simply gotten in the way over the last few months and I have not and will not have the time to do the research to the point where I am ready to do the root myself.

Thoughts or suggestions on root services? I just want it done so I don’t have to worry about it. I saw an advertisement on one of the XDA forums when I poking around last night and now I can’t find it to save my life.

Thanks!

I know you said you don't want to do it yourself, but if you follow the weaksauce method, it will only take about a half hour, if that. You'll burn up that much time bringing it somewhere, or shipping it somewhere.

Thanks gents, its been a few years since ive educated myself on the process and ive got a little one the way so times tight. Really i'm looking to have the ability to get ride of some of the bloat ware and use wifi tethering on my unlimited data plan without paying big red for it. From what i have gathered on weaksauce its more of a temp root that is done every time the phone restarts. i know i am most likely going to spend the time doing the homework but figured i would pose the question at least. The other part i want to educate myself on is the ability to capture ota updates......i got tired of having to reset my phone everytime a new ota update come through.

Thanks again....love the forum, best one on the interwebz

I am thinking of getting the Verizon HTC M8 within the next 2 weeks. Has the recent updates broke the root process of WeakSauce? I don't want to waste my money if I cant root and firewater s-off it.

there just is no easier way than weaksauce/firewater.... honestly, the hardest parts are getting adb setup right on the computer, and paying attention. Ive SOFF'd & rooted probably 30 of these phone now for people, ive never went to more than 3 bottles. Its super easy

Is Weaksauce and SU still working? I have a stock M8 with all the updates and Weaksauce will install, but SuperSU gives "Installation failed, reboot and try again"

Uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, same issue. Is this just my phone or is anyone else seeing this?
