Root without HTCDev topic
I just acquired a used M8 and would like to unlock the bootloader without HTCdev.
I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2475914
Which explains how to do so with S-OFF. I am willing to pay the 25$ for Sunshine, but apparently it requires root. So if I need to root, I need to register at HTCdev either way? What the use of unlocking the bootloader then if HTC already knows?

MJE Root upgrade options topic
I stock rooted a long time ago on MJE 4.3 I deleted the stock updater so it would stop bugging me to upgrade to the then "unrootable" 4.4 upgrade and to prevent my LTE signal from going to crap since I have a launch day Note3.
Can anyone confirm that I can go to Lollipop without radio issues like the Kitkat update had for launch day models? What process do I need to follow to go from 4.3 to 5.0?
Thanks!

Try to download "kingo android" in your pc
Make sure you have the right drivers for your phone
then connect your device to pc via USB cable
open kingo android and start

[Q] Getting back root on DE? topic
My Developer edition Note 4 starting boot looping. I used Odin to reinstall a stock recovery tar and ended up with N910vvru1anj5 baseband version with no root nor TWRP. I finally got odin to work to install twrp 2.8.5. However whenever I try to boot into recovery I get the Samsung recovery and not the TWRP recovery. The Samsung recovery shows to apply update when it comes up. Superuser does not work and I do not have root.
I have a twrp backup on my sd card and the Samsung recovery sees it but I assume that it will not install it properly.
Why is TWRP not working and how do I get back to root. Is there a problem with the rom I have installed?
When I go into download mode it still shows deveoper edition.
Thanks

locked BL no root? topic
New Samsung S6 Edge owner here (Verizon), Ive only had Motorola phones since about 2004 (and non-smartphone), so this is a new experience for me with the Samsung. With my RAZR HD MAXX you could have root without unlocking the bootloader, but this is weird that you cannot root the Samsung with a locked BL?
Looks like I am going to have to forget everything I know about Moto and Ill be learning some new things...
