Can I flash twrp with fastboot on a stock m8 and gain root that way. I'm asking because if I can then I can unlock the boot loader and gain s- off without ever fooling with HTC. Thanks to those who may truly know the answer to this. I was just thinking about how twrp prompts us to root when it says we do not have root priveleges. Thanks

Afaik you cannot flash a custom recovery with locked bootloader. You first have to open bootloader, then flash TWRP, then root, then soff.
