"Unlock bootloader at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader"

HTC One m8 is not on the list...

BTW
is it possible to root the phone without Unlock the bootloader ?

Select all other supported models

@nadav Generally speaking most HTC phones fall into the 'phone not listed category'

Root without htcdev unlock? I think not.
@mike you didn't waste any time

Hey Mike, any hint as to if the logo bezel is touch sensitive?

Will we be able to use it like the capacitive buttons on the M7?

No clue yet, too many things yet to discover!

Mike, put in post that this will not work for Verizon based phones. You will get MID not allowed.

Make it easier than the thread filling up.

Scott you already get yours?

That is quite unfortunate... thanks for the update. Looks like we are stuck with on screen buttons.

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!

No, you can't flash the root zip in stock recovery afaik

As i said in other posts, I don't think that the bezel is touch sensitive... It would be a complete nonsense (but great at the same time) since the buttons are on the display itself

It should work fine with the at&t variant.
