Can anyone enlighten me on what reason should one root E9+ since there isn't any good custom rom made for this phone?
For apps that need root.

hey guys..
I just have a quick question regarding rooting and debranding..
I debranded my German T-Mobile branded HTC Desire back when 2.2 was just out for the Desire, so I could get the update couple of months earlier.
and just last night I rooted my device, without any problems..
now, regarding my question:
my room mate got a new Desire with a T-Mobile brand and froyo..
he wants his phone to get to my state, so can I just root it and install a stock ROM on his phone and the brand will be gone too?
or do I need to unbrand it first..
thanks for any help!
peace
(PS: to avoid you having to ask anything,
after the root, his desire will probably have s-on if I do it the way I rooted my device. can he install ROMs with s-on?)
thanks you guys
UPDATE:
I just successfully rooted his device..
so, will the brand be gone if I install a custom or stock ROM?
or do I still need to debrand? his s ist still on too..
You can flash a stock WWE ROM without rooting.
Just get the ROM, make a goldcard and flash it.
You can, also root before or after flashing the WWE ROM if you want to.
Root and S-OFF are different and are done separately, and of course, you can flash custom roms when s-off.
I Edit also:If you install a custom rom or a stock WWE ROM the branding will be gone for as long as he stays on these roms.
I am not sure what you mean by debranding as it is rather the state that you are not an a branded ROM with a branded device, i.e., it's not something permanent that makes your device unbranded.
thanks for the quick answer..
s-off was a typo tho.
I meant s-on..
can't I just install it through Rom-Manager?
and will the brand be gone after that?
Okay, for the brand part see the edit above.
You can install ROMs with rom manager.
You can install ROMs with S-ON.
thank you so much dude..
I have to admit I'm still learning all this android stuff..
just don't wanna brick my friends device, nahmean?
thanks again..
peace
Hey everyone. I want to clarify before I dig in with the reason for this help thread. I am familiar with rooting from a former phone of mine (HTC One V) and I had fun with it. My thing now is, I have an HTC One M8 with Sprint and I'm wary of rooting a contract phone so I want to do things a certain way. Still with me? Great!
What I want to achieve is as follows:
Root and s-off my M8.
Install Android Revolution HD.
Install the Harmon-Karmon software mod.
What I need to know is if I am using the right tools, the right Rom, and kernel. Also I want to be able to easily revert back to stock in case I have to send my phone in for one reason or another and I'm not sure if the recovery would have anything to do with that process.
For what I am trying to achieve what's the best way to go about it? I'm on smartpay I can't afford to.brick.this phone with a voided warranty!

Have a read in the General section of this forum, best advice one can give.. read, read then read some more. That way you know the ins and outs, the pros and cons and most importantly the issues that will/do/may arise. Good luck
Hello everyone,
I have almost zero knowledge and M8 is the first android I ever had so apologies for the newbi question.
I got it from my brother rooted and with a custom ROM. I would like to get it back to stock and un-root it just in case I want to sell it.
I did read the forums but I got lost and couldn't find a proper guide that I can follow and I'm afraid Ill brick the phone.
My CID is GLOBA001 and at the moment I have Android revolution HD9.1 installed.
He did not make any backups to anything before he did this (most of the guides I found were assuming I had one)
Any help would be appreciated.
Dear friends,
Yesterday I sold my Oneplus One to get a brand new HTC One M8. Thing this is gorgeous, but the only thing I'm missing from the Oneplus One is the software. Which isnt the least important aspect of a Phone imo. So I'm considering rooting my Phone and getting CM11 on it. The only thing is that I want to root it, but it has Vodafone branding on it. Can I just use the normal root methods or isnt that possible for Vodafone branded M8's? If so does anyone know a different method? If no does anyone know a link to the best (and simpliest ) root method for my Htc One m8 . Ive been out for a while from this rooting stuff and id be pretty upset if id screw this **** up. lol
Kind regards.
Normal rooting method will work. Unlock bootloader, flash/boot custom recovery, flash SuperSU or any rooted custom ROM.
Another thing, this thread isn't supposed to be in this section. Questions and troubleshooting go into Q&A section not general section.
I agree with above post
I have the same.Unlocked bootloader through HTC and flashed custom recovery and flashed SU.
PS I have not flashed any modified ROM and it i still S-on

Hi,
I'm not a 100% sure of any of this so its better you confirm them once before doing anything but I do have some ideas on how you can update.If you are not S-OFF you then i think that the best way to get root is using Sunshine - http://theroot.ninja/ .You will have to pay 25$ for using this though.Once you are s-off then its easy enough to root and flash custom roms and I would strongly suggest doing this first.
However if you dont want to root your phone or try custom roms/recoveries then you can still update to the latest verizon MM version while being S-on itself.Head over to this thread and follow the instructions:http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/official-ruu1-55-605-2-t2883845
I would highly recommend getting S-off using Sunshine as its highly beneficial in the long run. Let me know if you have any other questions.Good luck.
