Hello,

I see that HTC One (M8) Developer Edition comes with bootloader unlocked as per:

blog.htc.com/2013/03/htc-one-developer-edition

Does HTC One (M8) Google Play Edition comes with bootloader unlocked as well?

The Google Play web page play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=htc_m8 only mentions that the phone is unlocked (vis-a-vis carrier), but does not reference bootloader at all.

I'm looking for a phone, that would be easier to root.

Thank you!

I don't think so, only dev edition phones comes unlocked out of the box

Is it possible to root an original Google Play Edition HTC one (M8)? If so how? I did not find anything then converting a standard ONE into a GPE.

thx

After Unlocking, flash a custom recovery. You can either download and flash su or supersu zip files manually or you can let recovery try to root it by simply exiting recovery and accepting the offer to install su.
