Sure. I did ask around to borrow a computer but as soon as I mention the installation of drivers, the goodwill ended immediately. The people I know are very cautious and I respect that.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
The drivers come from HTC themselves, the SDK/platform tools (the ADB/fastboot interface) comes directly from Google. Nothing for them to be wary of.

Hi,

I found Sunshine S-Off but it is mentioned nowhere that I would need to pay to use it. However, after installation and a required reboot, Sunshine S-Off failed somehow to unlock and I had to do a factory reset to retrieve a functional device. May be I just encountered a random glitch. I'll try again after gathering all the required information and files, with your help.

I don't know/have a hboot flashable TWRP custom recovery and would appreciate if you could spare me the hair pulling by making one for me.

Thanks mate.

I know but somehow some words like rooting or drivers just raise eyebrows and averted eyes. If later something goes wrong on their computer and even if it's not my doing, I don't want any of them to blame me.

I was able to unlock the boatloader of an Asus Transformer through terminal emulator. But that was may be more doable seeing that the tablet was so with Jelly Bean. Marshmallow seems to be more challenging both for unlocking and rooting without a PC. Unfortunately, I'm not knowledgeable enough to have my way with terminal emulator and whipping up a viable custom recovery.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Sunshine only requires payment if the app detects it can s-off the device, so you just didn't reach that point yet (at which time it will request a credit card or Paypal). The payment is clearly outlined on the "purchase" section of the webpage you just linked: http://theroot.ninja/purchase.html

Sunshine requires root. Which is why I think it is failing. Yes, that seems a bit "cart before the horse" especially in this case (since you want to s-off, so you can root). Sunshine has the option for a temp root for some devices/OS versions. But I don't think it will work on Marshmallow (you can always try). I've seen some folks try kingroot, then sunshine to s-off. But results can be mixed on kingroot.

I'm not that familiar with that device. But I know a lot of devices are easy to unlock with a simple fastboot command "fastboot oem unlock".

This isn't true for HTC devices. They purposely make the bootloader unlock process more complicated. You need an internet connection, by which the PC sends your IMEI number to HTC. Then an unlock bin code is generated by HTC and sent to you. And without that, you aren't going to unlock the bootloader (except by s-off).

---------- Post added at 09:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------

It's a little preposterous. You need to install drivers just to access the storage (such as HTC Sync) on this or most any smartphone. And the drivers can easily be uninstalled when you are done.

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

You don't use their computer to root. You are only using it to unlock the bootloader on the phone. Which is a function that is provided entirely by HTC, using official tools also provided direct from HTC. They have no more reason to fear the drivers and process, any more than any other official, corporate-made software which passes all the Microsoft Windows requirements and checks.

Re: xunholyx & redpoint73

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.

I must have only weird friends ;)

That said, it's clear to me that to unlock the bootloader, I have to use a computer because Sunshine doesn't work with my device.

Afterwards, I can root without one.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrrocketdog:
depending on where you live , there are "stores" that offer the services of unlocking , rooting , etc. for a fee of course. as a last ditch , might be worth checking into.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d8v8n8:
I'll take this option as the last resort, which looks like I'm there, already.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
If you want to unlock with Sunshine, you'll need to gain temp root first with Framaroot, TowelRoot, KingoRoot, or some other temp root apk.

I don't usually recommend them to people, but if you want to root without a PC, you'll probably need to use one.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d8v8n8:
I tried them all plus some others as well. None worked. They were either uncompatible because of marshmallow or not for HTC One M8. I'm starting to regret sorely that it came with android 6.0 instead of KitKat or Lollipop.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
On a similar note, if OP is going to go that route, it's worth asking places if they have a javacard that will s-off the M8. Might not be that common (again, may depend on the location). But if you can find it, this will get you s-off possibly at a fee similar to the cost of sunshine (the javacard itself costs much more, maybe around $150, but can be used multiple times - so a repair shop may offer use of it for a service fee).

After as-off, unlocking the bootloader and root are easy matters. So if you are going to pay to have these things, may as well go all the way and get s-off (if you can find it).

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 AM ----------

I've seen a lot of mixed results with the root apps. I've seen kingroot used with the M8 much more than the others mentioned - but again not always successfully (and one of the reasons I too am usually hesitant to suggest the app). So you might search the M8 threads for kingroot, to see if there is more info, tricks, etc. You might be right that it simply won't work with MM, I don't really remember. But it may be worth confirming that on the threads (if you haven't already).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d8v8n8:
I'm in Paris and service fees are outrageous here compared to the US or Asia. I'm trying to sort this out on my own being on limited income, hence my not having a computer in the first place.

I tried KingRoot, Kingoroot , OneClick root, and many others I could find. I think t the limitation is Marshmallow for this device.

I wonder how the original op did to remove S-off and unlock the bootloader of his device without a pc in the first place.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You "think" meaning you are guessing? Or did you read that kingroot is not compatible with MM? Since that is why I said search and read, in order to confirm (instead of guessing).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d8v8n8:
I apologize for having poorly expressed myself and or for saying anything wrong. I'm just making a personal deduction based on my limited experience. I'm also sorry if I haven't read everything yet or for having missed any point.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
No need to apologize. I honestly don't know/remember if kingroot works on MM or not. I want to say there was a newer/updated kingroot version that worked for some folks on MM. But I never used kingroot, and didn't follow to closely. I just vaguely remember from reading it - and I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly.

Which is why I would urge you to search the M8 forums (searching "kingroot" will probably get you there, eventually) and see what folks have posted. Don't assume anything, unless you find some evidence. There is a lot of knowledge here, so use it to your advantage.

Again, from what I've seen posted on these forums, results from kingroot have been mixed, even under the best of conditions.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d8v8n8:
Thanks. I'm going to scour the M8 forums. I tried several versions of Kingroot including the latest from their website and other versions cited to work with Marshmallow without no device mentioned.

I agree wholeheartedly with you about Kingroot. I'd avoid it if i could as well but beggars can't be choosers unfortunately.

i have a htc one m8 gsm LTE version. and whenever i try to clean update from twrp it shows the screen for a couple seconds and then reboot and it does it again. sometimes it says setup wizard has stopped working. plz help
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Need more info, in order to help.

Do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

Also, what version TWRP?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abhay Purba:
cm 14.1

im new to android and rooting and i dont know what fastboot getvar is and the twrp version is 2.7.0.2
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Did you unlock the phone and root it yourself?

If so, the process to do fastboot getvar, is the same as the fastboot command you used to unlock the bootloader. Connect the phone to PC, boot into bootloader-fastboot mode, open command prompt on PC (probably need to change directory to whatever folder contains fastboot.exe), then type fastboot getvar all

Then post the output, but delete IMEI and serial number before posting (these are personal data what should never be posted online).

Alternately, in bootloader, tell us what it says for hboot number, radio baseband number, and OS number. This doesn't tell as all the getvar data, but at least it gives us a few critical pieces of info.

Your TWRP version is very old. Its not compatible with CM14 (or 13, for that matter). Probably also not appropriate for your phone's firmware (but need more info to determine that).

Did you use a toolkit to unlock the bootloader (that particular TWRP version is a telltale sign)? If so, the toolkit is obsolete (hasn't been updated in almost 2 years) and many of its components therefore cause more problem than they solve. More importantly, the toolkit is a crutch, which shortcuts the learning process, and it gets you stuck without the proper knowledge to get yourself unstuck (as you now see). For instance, if you used the toolkit, than you have no idea how to do basic stuff needed to mod these phones, like fastboot commands.

Im assuming you may have a canadian provider?

I believe there are issues with that if it is the case. If it is flashing correctly and allowing you to boot into the rom and then rebooting, i doubt it would be twrp.

You may need to wait a couple of days as TeamM8 are building a rom specifically for Canadian carriers which disables the AGPS which is causing your issues. (If that is what the issues are)

Alternative is to flash CM13 for the time and update when they release a working build.

Just Odin flash twrp for your model(untick autoreboot in Odin, when you get the pass, hold all 4 buttons together until screen turns, then hold volume up, power and home until bootsplash screen to get into recovery) if you don't system will rewrite stock recovery. then grab a pre rooted kernel, nemesis, skyhigh, extreme..... Etc for your model and flash that through twrp

If you want to keep stock kernel, download latest supersu and flash that via recovery instead of prerooted kernel
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] yaniyu:
just root j3 ,no d2

first you flash twrp for g928f from odin

then flash supersu zip from recovery

Sorry should of mentioned this in the OP, boot animation is copied to the the cache because it has to load earlier than the rest of the module by magisk to appear.

You cannot downgrade any longer since it's already updated with the current security patch..

Simply change the password and then wait 24 hours for it to trickle down to the phone itself (some times it takes longer) or 3. If you can't even remember the username and password at all you're going to unfortunately have to go to Samsungs online chat support and they will end up giving you a shipping label to send the phone to them in Texas and you won't get the phone back for like 12 to 14 days...
