I wasn't able to get towelroot to work on my at&t HTC One M8. I followed the steps and one I clicked "make it ra1n" it told me that the root was successful but once I downloaded superSU and tried to run it SuperSu told me the binary's were out of date and it wasn't able to update it manually.
I too am trying to get my bootloader unlocked without going through that htc dev account unlock. Weaksauce also doesn't work since I stupidly accepted at&t's latest OTA update without reading up on the forums. I just want to use my favorite apps while preventing them from data mining me! Hopefully the root methods are updated to work with the latest updates soon.
I went through the same thing when rooting (SuperSu) wouldn't update binaries.... you don't need to. Download rootchecker. If it says your rooted you're good to go with Sunshine. Worked on mine without updating the binaries.
