This thread will begin with the Root Guide! I will be adding Guides for S-Off which should be here soon. I will also update the thread with a bootloader unlock guide, custom recovery install guide, Rom reviews and pretty much anything having to do with the HTC ONE M8!

Very helpful, thanks for taking time to make these. Just so I'm 100%, the order for a new out of the box phone would be following the instructions in the first video (perm root and cwm) followed by the instructions in the 3rd (S-Off via FireWater)? Thanks again.

Actually you would want to Temp Root via WeakSauce, Then S-Off with Firewater, then install recovery and permanent root.

I didn't realize it was already boot loader unlocked. My dev edition m7 had to be unlocked via htcdev

So what's the right sequence of steps here. Utimately I am looking to have rooted, unlocked bootloader, and custom recovery. Is it like this?

  1. S-Off
  2. Unlock Bootloader
  3. Root
  4. Custom Recovery

or what's the right order? Thanks in advance!
