Root M8 flashed firmware in cmd, now stuck in HBOOT

What do I need to do before I run sunshine on this new phone? It's got 4.4.4 on it. I down loaded super su. It's asking for binary. M8
 
You don't need anything.

Just get it and go.

Remove the SuperSU so it doesn't get confused.

Going directly to Sunshine, then installing TWRP, then nandroid backup, then install new rom is better. Fewer steps.

ARHD (Android Revolution HD) does not include the HK firmware, but they give a link to the dreaded firmware update thread to get it.

That's not the best way.

For the Lollipop ARHD, this is -

http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/mod-audio-hk-bs-aroma-switcher-4-1-0-t3035354

Install after ARHD.

Includes a number of HK library enhancements and bug fixes.

(And yes, that's me in the credits lol.)

If you ever want to try a KitKat rom, let me know and I'll link you to the KitKat HK installer.

Exactly that.

You don't need any sort of root before going to Sunshine.

Only install SuperSU for the first time from TWRP.

You can do that instead of installing ARHD.

Hmm, come across this before on G+ and think this newer version of Sunshine doesn't use temp root anymore.

Would like one of the others to confirm this is the case though, first before I lead you down a unnecessary path lol

You might need to install TWRP and then flash SuperSU from recovery. I forget, you're not on Verizon are you?

Check out "Forums for Android™"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tapatalk.androidforumscom

Turn off notifications or uninstall when the heavy stuff passes.

It's a bit of a battery hog right now, they're working on it.

Oh, not again. :mad:

The website says next to nothing unlike before, and they've gone from need root, no you don't, and now back again.

This is an AT&T phone.

Try towelroot, it's linked in the s-off thread, not sure if it works for you.

Otherwise, you have to go the HTCdev.com route to unlock, fastboot flash TWRP, and install the SuperSU zip from TWRP - then Sunshine.

Wish they would go back to the old website so we'd know what to expect. :(

I'm driving, just pulled over for WifelyMon and checking messages, will be at my desk later.
 
Yeah unfortunately it's a ATT boney maroney phone. They do some strange things with their software. I'm gonna hold until I see a clear cut method. I thought I could just run sun and be done! But noooooo........
 
Here's @scotty85 guide to the proper way to root an M8.

You already have the site Mini-SDK, his is the same, just creating a different folder than I did.

Follow his guide, but substitute using the sdk-tools folder instead of his. You already know how to get a command window to sdk-tools tools anyway.

I'll be back, post back if any issues.

I'll be around at my desk a little later and will be happy to help with a walk through.

Right now, I'm in parts of the desert where the signal comes and goes, I'm mostly just posting fluff here and there, so I hoped that link could jump start you if you want to give it a go. :)

I'll try it out. Thanks
 
well ...probably ought to finish up with the first one. Stock RUU maybe 4.4.3 or 4. Just get it returnable. Im just getting to my desk.
 
Ok, I'm free (I dozed earlier myself :p) - and we're going after the phone that you're going to return.

After more thought - we could trace that goes-to-voicemail thing for a short time, or forever and get nowhere. Let's get that one ready to go back home.

That is the RUU to take your phone to full stock.

And the good news - it's not a lower radio version than what you have.

It ought to be safe to use and equal to the file I'd picked out.

Please make sure the phone has a full charge and run the procedure at the HTC site using that file, download at end of article.

I'll be standing by - keep me posted.
