[Tutorial][Resource][Root]Unlock-Recovery-SuperSU for HTC One(M8)-Sprint-m8_whl
- Thread starter Sloth
- Start date
Ok, so I'm pretty sure my problem had to do with getting the drivers installed on Windows 8.1. I decided to try to use my old computer w/ Win Vista to root my phone and it worked flawlessly! I just noticed question #18 on the FAQ deals w/ HTC drivers and Win 8 so if someone else if having a problem I'd start there.
In the interest of making this process even more noob friendly, I'd recommend stating that they need to install the HTC Driver exe, the appropriate HTC BMP USB driver msi, and the Universal ADB Driver Setup msi file. Also, I didn't see directions on how to flash SuperSU in your text document, although it was a pretty straightforward thing to figure out.
Thanks again for your help!

I modified the zip that you posted in the OP. I updated the ADB file (the old one was giving me weird driver issues) I also renamed the recovery to something simpler.

Awesome video! Thanks a lot! I have a question: have any of you tried using GMD Auto Hide to hide the on-screen buttons?
If there's any Mac users. OP said I could get my script in there, and @Lurch69 I would make a super noob windows version if OP allowed me that one would take a while since I'm more Mac/Linux oriented in the coding nature. But can do windows some.... bat scripts \(^._.^)/

Did you do wipe anything? Sounds like your OS might be gone.
I didn't wipe anything as far as I know, but in the case that I did, how can I reinstall it?
And thanks for answering.
So when you press reboot system it just boots back to twrp?
Yes, that's correct. No matter what I do, it always loads twrp. If it helps, my partition sizes are:
boot (16 mb)
cache (6 mb)
data (0 mb)
system (2173 mb)
And if I did delete the OS, could I load someone else's backup and have it work again?
Once again, thanks for the help.
Seems like you formatted your sdcard
You can try pushing this rom your device...there are a couple small bugs but they are being squashed quickly

While in twrp open a cmd window and type
adb push ROMname.zip /sdcard/

Even if this doesn't work, it helped me realize what I can do to fix it. Thank you for being so kind even though I'm just a new user!
Alright, I have one more question and I have to go to bed (it's 2 am where I am):No worries and good luck
Any other questions just post them
adb isn't detecting my device when it's plugged in. Whenever I enter a command, it says "error: device not found". What can I do to fix this?
Thanks as always.
Make sure your drivers are up to date. You can install HTC Sync for the latest drivers. You can also boot into the bootloader with the phone connected to your computer and it should install some drivers, also.

I'd like to say that I've gotten it to work. I flashed the google play edition zip and now everything is working. Thanks to everyone who helped me.
I have the AT&T m8, if you noticed I edited my first post to say "edit: wrong thread", but since you helped me, I decided to go with it.There is no google play edition for Sprint.
