[HTC Droid DNA] cloakzore:
So this started happening out of nowhere yesterday. All of a sudden the phone started getting VERY hot and draining battery like crazy. My first thought was to check battery stats and see if a new app update was draining battery, but nothing out of the ordinary. So I powered the phone off to let it cool down. Weirdest thing I've seen, but it stayed hot for over an hour while turned off, and when I turned back on it had drained over 70% battery. I did a full wipe to try to resolve the issue but no luck.

Seems like it's a hardware problem at this point but I was hoping somebody might be able to offer some insight. Any ideas? Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Mine did this for a while while I was trying out the stock firmware. It got so hot it burned. So I contacted HTC and they said 270$ to fix it. I didn't bother with them and Verizon just wanted me to use their edge program. Instead I flashed Viper room and the issue stopped. Haven't had any issues since then regarding battery drain or over heating. What are you running for software. If your running stock try a custom rom. Also to help battery I recommend using greenify it makes a big difference.
[HTC Droid DNA] cloakzore:
I'm running CM11 and have been for months. I'll try flashing over a Sense ROM and see if it makes any difference.

The thing that gets me is it happens even when I'm booted into recovery, so it shouldn't matter what ROM is installed on it.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
It's probably hardware related then. If your within the 1 year warranty HTC will replace it. If not your gonna have to pay to get it fixed or maybe Verizon can help you out.

Why my ringtones don't play out it plays a little bit then cut off
[One (M7) Accessories] t0kgrumps:
Hi, can anyone tell me if my phone is a different version and if all cases are compatible with it? Bought this phone a few days ago from someone but not sure why the back is different from what I see in the reviews.
[One (M7) Accessories] slntdth93:
the ring seems like it is for the stick on phone lenses. I know some cases have a wider camera hole, which would work fine. For what it's worth, NFC doesnt work unless you peel off that metal ring
[One (M7) Accessories] n1234d:
Are you sure it's genuine? Never seen a One like that before.
[One (M7) Accessories] dbaler:
More pictures please?
[One (M7) Accessories] ayyu3m:
Honestly i seen a lot of variants of HTC one and that is straight up a mock up and a fake of htc. can you show us the front of the phone with screen on. if it has those android like icons from gingerbread / jellybean knock then i am certain its fake.

Please provide android version number so we can help you further.
[One (M7) Accessories] t0kgrumps:
*facepalm* sry guys, Just realised i could actually peel it off but it was quite stuck to the lens which actually made me think it was part of it. And i think the use of the metal ring was for attaching some sort of magnetic lens like this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003RBI894?pc_redir=1403459654&robot_redir=1
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fritzo:
Hi all. I hate asking for help because I feel like a weenie, but this has me stumped.

I've successfully rooted my M8 in the past with Weaksauce and SuperSU, but recently I had to return my phone to factory.

Now I can run Weaksauce, it says "Phone successfully rooted", but when I run Superuser the binaries won't install. When I run it, it says "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?"

I hit continue, it installs for a few seconds, and then says "Installation Failed! Please reboot and try again."

I've uninstalled and reinstalled both Weaksauce and SuperSU at least a dozen times now, I've rebooted with adb reboot, nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Run firewater for s-off then you can flash supersu zip
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fritzo:
I can't install firewater either. It won't allow SU to be accessed. Here's where I get stuck:

C:\adb>adb reboot

C:\adb>adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp

I just picked up my new M8 this morn from the verizon store. I came home and attempted to root and stuck with the same problems, I tried all the troubleshooting steps listed and still no dice. Looks like your not the only weenie...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Did you grant root on the phone. It should prompt too ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I got 3 more m8 coming to my house tomorrow. I was wondering if you could tell me what hboot an software it shipped with? I would appreciate it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fritzo:
I followed the steps in the guide on XDA for rooting the M8:

Install Weaksauce

Install SuperSU

Run Weaksauce- says "Root Achieved" when complete"

Run SuperSU- Says binaries can't be found, needs to install them. It then attempts to install and that's when the "Failed, reboot and try again" message appears.

Did ADB reboot and re-ran Weaksauce and SuperSU. Same results.

Uninstalled, did ADB reboot, reinstalled. Same results.

Obviously Firewater won't install either since root is not working.

My coworker just texted me that he picked up an M8 last night and is having the same problem. I hope there wasn't an update that broke things.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
It still works there r people posting a few days ago Rt in our vzw thread. If you haven't read thru this thread start on page 23. Maybe it will help. I'll be trying tomorrow on 3 of them an I'll let you know what works for me.. let me know if you get it fig out.

My friend just got an m8 an I check his an all the info looks like it will work. I think your not doing something right just my opinion.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] aer0zer0:
Just did my HTC refurb last night, worked....but..... it was miserable.... took me a couple hours, but i was using the [MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION] RUU installation i sent back to HTC.

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

You cant update the binaries until you SOFF, weaksauce allows a temproot of XBIN, so the commands can be pushed to the phone via adb shell. Did you grant ADB Shell root access when it prompted?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fritzo:
It never prompted me :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fritzo:
That's very well possible, but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is. I'll keep trying.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] aer0zer0:
after installing weaksauce, when you do an adb reboot, do you wait like 30-40 seconds for the toast of root successful to appear? then do the wait-for-device push. then adb shell, then the phone (make sure you are on the home screen, not blinkfeed or anything should ask for root access
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fritzo:
LOL- that was it! I wasn't quite waiting long enough after the reboot. I was only waiting like 20 seconds instead of 30+. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for everyone that responded !

Me:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] aer0zer0:
yay
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Sweet glad to hear you are all set!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] heather1209:
I'm having the same issue as OP with SuperSU failing to install the binaries. I am rooted though. Is there another way to get the binaries and install them?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
. All you need to do is install weaksauce then install supersu no need to even open it. Then proceed with firewater an once a-off you can flash the supersu zip via recovery....it's very simple I just s-off 3 m8's an a m7 in literally 20 mins. Let me know if you get it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] berndblb:
Could be mismatched signatures. Get the Superuser Update Fixer from the Play Store and run it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] heather1209:
I actually didn't want to s-off. Is there a way to update the binaries without that?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
No there isn't. S-off is what you need..why is it you don't want s-off?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] heather1209:
Well, I've rooted my phones in the past and had a hard time unrooting so I actually didn't even want to root this one initially. Then the amount of thing I needed root for added up and I saw the Weak Sauce root was so easy to remove if necessary, I jumped on it. But I didn't want to go all the way with s-off because I want to be able to easily undo everything.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
It's very easy to undo everything. Very simple with s-off. Fastboot the RUU an that returns your phone to out of box feel. An then you can lock your bootloader command I seen floating around here.. just trying to explain is all..I just did this whole process Friday as I gave my silver m8 to me daughter it took me like 15 mins tops.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rvrugg90:
I also just got my htc one on verizon. I succesfully went through the process two weeks ago with his. Today I tried mine and I cant get the super su binaries to install either. I've tried running the firewater commands and it tells me "su or FU!!!!" so i guess i need SU to get this going. Any ideas here? I've read everything and tried doing this over and over-and Like i said, had no issues two weeks ago with another verizon phone...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fayded:
I've seen some people having problems getting supersu 2.00 to install binaries on m8 outside of recovery, maybe try an older version. I did mine a few weeks ago on supersu 1.94 with no issues. Not sure but worth a try.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
No I just did 3 m8 Friday. No issues. Just install weaksauce then download su from play store no need to open it. Then do the 1st two commands of Forrester then wait till your phone reboots on a home screen not BlinkFeed once you see weaksauxe say root active then proceed with the rest of Firewater an when you enter su look at phone an Grant shell su on phone. You should have zero issues if you do this.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] DucatiMon:
HELP!

every time i enter

"adb push temproot /data/local/tmp"

i get

"cannot stat 'temproot': No such file or directory"

What am i doing worng?! This is driving me insane! Please help!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
You r using the weaksauce method rt? For the m8?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] DucatiMon:
Used the weaksauce method to temp unroot. Installed supersu but no binaries were able to be installed (same as everyone else). Rebooted device in adb and from there followed all instructions Accordingly. I believe I have firewater in the proper location. And from everything I've read I seem to being doing everything properly. Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
1st install weaksauce. Open it accept terms. Download supersu from play store. Don't even open it..

Download Firewater an place in the folder you fastboot from. Then open cmd window from that folder.

Then do a adb reboot.

Then they next command after that

Wait for your phone to display a toast message saying root is active.

Then proceed adb shell make sure you r on a home screen not blinkfeed. It will ask you on your phone to Grant superuser to shell do that then back on pc finish the rest of the commands an Firewater will pop up an ask you to agree. I can't make it no more easier for you. They only reason people r having su issues is BECAUSE THEY R NOT WAITING LONG ENOUGH FOR WEAKSAUCE TO ROOT THERE PHONE.

If you follow what I said an place Firewater file in your fastboot folder you will have zero issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] DucatiMon:
I did all the steps u said to include waiting except I opened SU after installing weaksauce. I will uninstall it all and try it again once I get off work. thanks for all your help and I will let you know how it goes. Does having apps frozen effect anything? Or having powersaver enabled?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Check your PM before you try again. Make sure you r using the weaksauce directions not the temp root as the commands r different. If I had a m8 to s-off I'd make you a video real quick I have used this for 5 since launch 1st try every time it works. Plus I did 4 m7 when we had them an on that phone I had to use the temp root way not weaksauce. Yea let me know what happens.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] DucatiMon:
THANK YOU!!

After failing countless times do to impatience, and what is more or less stupidity on my part, I am :victory:HAPPY AS HELL:victory: to say that i FINALLY have s-off!!!!! Thanks again Tigerstown!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
That's what I like to hear. Glad I could help. ?

I had a feeling you were using temp-root commands instead of weaksauce. Now your fun begins lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] chris2183:
Can you pm whatever you pm him. Mine is doing the same thing.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
R you asking me?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] chris2183:
Yes, sorry getting back into the swing of things. If you could that would be awesome or a link to the method your instructing to use.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] heather1209:
So I gave in and decided to S-off. But I'm still getting "Installation failed ! Please reboot and try again." when I try and update the binaries in SuperSU. I went into the terminal emulator and did "mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p46 /system" to make sure system was RW, but no change. What should I do?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Give Me a few I'll help you out it'd really easy.

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

So your s-off an can't update binaries?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] heather1209:
Correct. I did not do a custom recovery. Could that be why?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Make sure you uninstall weaksauce an supersu an then yea fastboot twrp then flash the supersu zip. Whatever you do don't use terminal emulator way flash twrp or you will flash your recovery to the system partition. I also would use twrp 2.7.0.2 not the newest version as it is no good.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] heather1209:
Thanks, I was literally downloading the newest TWRP about to do it so I'm glad you said that!

EDIT: All done and all is well. Thanks Tigerstown!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
What part are you stuck on?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] chris2183:
I use the weak sauce method. It pops up that im rooted but ehen I go to use SuperSU and update binaries it fails. I can use root checker and it says rooted and it acts like superuser works just always used SuperSU and do t want to mess something up.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
So your s-off already with Firewater? If your not s-off/unlock you can't update binaries
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] chris2183:
So I need to weak sauce and soff before using supersu?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Yea. You get weaksauce going download supersu an then run Firewater to s-off. Use the weaksauce directions on their site. Then once a-off uninstall weaksauce an supersu fastboot a recovery an flash latest supersu zip an your off an running.

Ment to quote you for above post
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Stratigon13:
I followed all of the instructions and just when firewater seemed like it was going to work it printed:

"whelp, this sucks, firewater can not work on your device

no amount of reflashing, retrying, or ruuing will fix...

DO NOT COME TO IRC ASKING FOR UPDATES OR ETAS!!!!!!

if we are able to fix this issue, it will be announced

bye bye.....sorry it didn't work out."

Am I boned? I just want to root so I can freeze all of the bloatware that the phone came with.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
You need s-off yes. Or a unlocked bootloader. Yes
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I was infromed bout something called sunshine will do this for you...Google about it. They have a website
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Stratigon13:
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm a little concerned paying $25 when the instructions say to have it rooted with weaksauce. Weaksauce claims that the root is activated but neither supersu nor firewater work properly afterward. Has anyone else had issues like this that were solved by Sunshine?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
They person who told me bout it had this problem. If you also read on there site it's by the same people that are behind weaksauce an Firewater. I was just putting it out there incase you can't get s-off thru Firewater.

---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 PM ----------

Supersu won't work rt till your s-off an flash it in recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] goodhunting:
Weaksauce and SuperSu v1.94 combo

If you are encountering issues with the SuperSu v2.0 binaries updating after installing Weaksauce, follow the steps below to resolve the issue.

-Uninstall SuperSu v2.0.

-Download SuperSu v1.94 and install it.

-Binaries will install update without any issues.

-Test root with Root Checker

Reboot your phone and allow 2 minutes or so for Weaksauce to works its magic.

Once again, launch Root Checker and verify root.

You will notice that the Play Store will update SuperSu to the latest available update.

Even after SuperSu is updated, the root method combo will remain intact after powering down or

rebooting your phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Breezer23:
Any clue where we download SuperSU 1.94? I can't find it other than shady web sites.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] silver04v:
Are you looking to install su in twrp or still using weak sauce?

---------- Post added at 05:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 AM ----------

I just used weaksauce, then firewater, then uninstalled weak sauce and SuperSU. Then fastboot flashed twrp and installed the newest super su zip in twrp. I'm now unlocked soff and rooted with twrp. Very easy if you follow the directions to everything exactly.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Breezer23:
I've got Soff finally. Trying to get fastboot to work now
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] silver04v:
If you used firewater fast boot flashing twrp should be cake. Just type it exactly and be sure to read what your doing.

---------- Post added at 05:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 AM ----------

This is the super su zip I flashed after I got twrp installed. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Breezer23:
I need to boot into hboot and type fastboot flash <RECOVERY>.img yes? Didn't work for me lol. I haven't had to do a manual root like this sinc emy original Droid.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] silver04v:
Download the twrp IMG. Put it in your adb fastboot folder. From your adb folder where you have fastboot, open your command window. With phone on and connected to computer type, adb reboot bootloader. That will bring you to bootloader. Next just type fastboot flash recovery "filename here" and make sure it has a .img after the file name. So example. fastboot flash recovery twrp2.XXX.img then hit enter and should be good.

---------- Post added at 05:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 AM ----------

Then reboot..make sure you uninstall weak sauce, can do it before the recovery doesn't matter and also uninstall super su. Then go into recovery by way of bootloader menu and flash the update SuperSU zip I linked. And you'll have permanent root on a reboot after.

What did you do differently to enable S-Off? I've been running into the same issue you have. I successfully s-off'ed, rooted, etc. 3 other M8's and now can't get anything to work.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] CurtDawg77:
I was in the same boat.....

A little too quick on the trigger. Now I am SOFF'd and tethering active with CWM recovery. Thanks for the help guys, as always. Enjoying my new M8 after having an Xperia Play for years.....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Just to clear up for others. Did you use firewater or sunshine?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] CurtDawg77:
Firewater worked fine for me once I was a little more patient. Bought a Red M8 from Verizon yesterday.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Yea I had no problems on all 5 I have done. Just someone is trying to say it don't work. Thanks for reply.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] CurtDawg77:
I think one of the problems people are having is that they are trying to start supersu after installing it. I thought I was totally screwing something up and spent a couple hours trying to figure out why it wouldn't update the binaries, thus me here in this thread. Turns out that in the end, that isn't necessary. I was making things too complicated.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Correct I dont open even touch su app when I do it. Cause once you install binaries your phone ain't stock no more. Idk but thanks for sharing as I did share this also.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] silver04v:
Yep, seen you mentioned this. So I never even looked at the app in the drawer after weak sauce and downloading SuperSU. Just keep on going with the firewater process and it went through no issues for me.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Syflox:
I am having a unique issue when it comes to using adb... My phone has the RSA key fingerprint activated (and to remember the computer) when I check USB debugging. I open up a command prompt from the adb folder. My device is connected and communicating correctly, so I proceed to do 'adb reboot'. After my device is rebooted, it appears to be offline when I do 'adb devices'. The only way to re-activate it is by un-checking and re-checking "USB debugging".
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thunderbls:
I have completed this on three Verizon m8's without issue as well. I just believe that people are able to follow a step by step process in order to soff their phone. I appreciate the fact that if someone is frustrated enough or unfamiliar enough with a specific method that sunshine is an option. More so to see it's developers here responding to questions, especially when done with a certain level of sarcastic wit.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] theonlyalfonzo:
Maybe someone can riddle me this.... New vzw m8 i followed all the above. I DO get past the prompt granting permissions. When typing in the final command nothing happens.... pic attached. Thanks advanced. I am coming from a jailbreaked iphone. This is alot different lol. I like it though. Im looking to install viper rom. Seems pretty nice.

Edit: Always after adb reboot the HTC MTP driver fails to install. I have tried auto and manual installing the file. There was also a windows update for the MTP driver, but it still will not install. Not sure if this would affect it the adb problem.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Shadow Death:
Did you download and install the drivers for your phone THEN uninstall HTC Sync?

http://www.htc.com/us/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
I tried a verizon m8 yesterday and firewater showed it no longer works for that exploit. From what I read on the net the only thing that works now is the sunshine app and they charge your paypal account $25 per phone to use it. Some one has to be making out pretty good on this. Maybe some one else will come out with another exploit for free or even if they charged $10 per device they would still make a lot off of it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] berndblb:
Verizon charges you $25 a month just to allow tethering! A one time payment to be able to get around that is a steal and a no-brainer in my book!

Why do you think they started charging? Maybe because most people using their exploits didn't even bother to donate 5 bucks??

Android security is getting tighter and so it's getting harder to find a way to unlock Android devices. If a small payment is helping the devs to keep at it - I don't have a problem with that at all...

But then: The M8 is a pretty good phone on stock. Your choice.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] theonlyalfonzo:
Got all my drivers working. Still having the same problem after i push the root with that final command... Really frustrating
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HTID_Pyro:
I used Firewater 3 days ago and it worked. It took about ten tries but I got it to finally go through. 25$ is nothing to get your phone rooted and s-off. Next pay day I'm donating 50$ to them.
