It sure does! Just got my GSM, going to turn it into a GPE. You wouldn't happen to have any videos or resources for that would you Qbking77 (Tim Schofield)?
worked great on my HTC M8 using the new android toolkit 2.0 posted in comments! my device was on lollipop for anyone who is concerned if it works, i used a windows 7 machine as well ,thanks to QB and any Devs for sharing this
Great Video. But I am getting stuck at the point where we unlock the bootloader. I am fine until 6:45 but at that point (after clicking yes) nothing seems to happen. I have an identical screen as you do at 6:45 (where the fastboot screen says **LOCKED** on top) but upon selecting the .bin unlock file, the phones does not go to the black screen as yours does at 7:04 . What should I do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated...thanks!
When I fired up WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit v1.2, it had me install the ADB drivers, then it came up with this error: A log file has been placed in the Logs folder within the Data folder. How do you work around that issue? I have the verizon M8 4.4.2
I wish I would have seen this before I saw how to unlock bootloader on HTC One, FIRST. This way was 100x faster. :/ Oh well. I feel good that it worked doing it the longer way :) thanks
What is SuperSU for? I've heard the playstore doesn't allow you to download certain apps if it recognizes that you have SuperSU. I have S-Off and unlocked bootloader. I just want to convert my AT&T M8 into stock developer edition. What do I need to do?
Question... I have a T-Mobile HTC one m8. Is it possible to Unlock the phone through T-Mobile, then flash an unlocked rom onto it? Or would I still need to use the T-Mobile variant of the rom? Also, if I was to Unlock the phone, could I flash an AT&T rom on to it?
i rooted my phone using a method from differnt site, www.theandroidsoul.com/root-new-htc-one-2014-m8/ , and i think something went wrong cuz when i turn my phone off n on it gets stuck in a boot loop, and the only thing i can do to fix it is factory reset my phone then it works again. but after installing my apps back on the phone when i turn it off it happens again. ive had to reset my phone 4 times now. is there something wrong w the bootloader? do i need to unroot & relock it? what do i do? PLEASE HELP!!
So after some bullshit time I had getting my old Hotmail inbox working then getting the Unlock_code.bin, everything was going fine up until the point of unlocking the bootloader then it says it was successful but phone was unchanged? I swapped my micro usb cable and reran getting the token to get back into the bootloader but to no avail. WinDroid 2.0 reads the status of my phone fine whether its unplugged, plugged or in fastboot. No clue? Update* After going back to use the original 1.2 Windroid since I got the drivers and recovery downloaded from 2.0, with the same process still cant manage to unlock the device. I'm about to give up, any suggestions? Phone has HBOOT 3.19 running 4.4.4. Update** I continue the process in my command promp and get this error C:\..\.\\\...\\..somewhere where fastboot and Unlock_code.bin is\fastboot flash Unlock_code.bin unknown partition 'Unlock_code.bin' error: cannot determine image filename for 'Unlock_code.bin' Its a recognized fastboot device too? Wtf htc I really just got to post this on xda
You should give credit to the guy who wrote this software, and link to the XDA site for downloading the file. Storing it on your own pastebin, and not referencing the developer, is not only shady as hell, it's also plagiarism, as he explicitly states that you must gain his permission and give credit to him.
*clicks on Verizon M8* Doesn't work, sends to firewater *face desk*...*gives up* This is the one phone I have that will never be rooted. I have come to grips with this. YOU WIN VERIZON! You're shitty policies have done there job.
Here is how to unlock the bootloader and root the HTC One M8. Hope this video helps!

you should warn people that this root method does not work for verizon
When I clicked the sprint button to finish the root it came up with notice of "this recovery appears to be missing from data folder" any ideas??
I downloaded the link provided. Every time I open internet explorer, I get multiple pop ups. Please advise what to do
Can i use this video to root my htc m8 on a imac??????

How do you work around that issue?
I have the verizon M8 4.4.2
i am having the same issue, did u ever find an answer?
I found a new version that might work
forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=9698
+Dustin Tagg Thank you Dustin his link really does not work so people might put a dislike on this vid... please dude fix your link.

I have S-Off and unlocked bootloader. I just want to convert my AT&T M8 into stock developer edition. What do I need to do?
With this video be able to unlock phone for GSM carriers?
those it matter if your phone is yet not fully paid??
Question... I have a T-Mobile HTC one m8. Is it possible to Unlock the phone through T-Mobile, then flash an unlocked rom onto it? Or would I still need to use the T-Mobile variant of the rom? Also, if I was to Unlock the phone, could I flash an AT&T rom on to it?
Is it compatible with HTC One E8 Dual Sim from Chinacom?
Does SuperSU need permission for every app I download and use?
The link is gone from the xda developers page? Is there any other one I could use?
there is twrp but option 2 is not accessible for sprint and i have sprint
Alternatives to Windroid? It crashes on my machine continuously.
Will this method work on a verizon m8 with the 4.4.4 update?
Will this still work after the 4.4.3 update ?
Hey Tim, I was wondering if all I had to do was unlock the phone and then root it so that I could have the wifi hotspot with the stock rom?
Yes
Qbking77 (Tim Schofield) You didn't try this before you recorded it to make sure you caught all the snags?
Does it works on Android 5.0.2 for Sprint?
hey will this sim unlock for gsm use?
So it can work for HTC one s?
Hello , you're the best . This guide is good also for the version of the HTC E8 DUAL?
Will this work after the 4.4.4 Eye update?
I can not unlock htc m8 and to root. Phone is 5.0.1
Why? Program version 2.1
Quick question would this work on my Harmon kardon edition?
Yes
is this no longer available?
I can't get my Token ID ,,,
What can i do?
Hi, how are you? Quick question, would I still be able to accept the updates to the phone?
No u would have to flash stock recovery and then flash the custom one again
Qbking77 (Tim Schofield) Can it be done for the HTC One M8 from AT&T ???
I went ahead and decided to do this... I have completed all the instructions on your video and yes my HTC One M8 (AT&T) is now "Rooted"
Thanks!!!
does this work with sprint
Will this work with M8s that already have lollipop?
william heinrich This one works on lollipop plus.google.com/117464817347108851715/posts/idVdfHzLg7n
Idk if its just me but the winDroid wouldn't work for me after doing the OTA update from T-Mobile to 4.4.3
If you dont mind my asking, were there any consequences or problems after the failed attempt ?
No their wasn't any problems after. I ended up unlocking the bootloader by following the directions on the HTC website
oh ok, great.
Good tutorial. Worked very well :)
Again, a great vid!

Was your version 4.4.4?
It worked thank you.

this will not work on a verizon m8. they don't want you to root and have made it impossible.
"Houston, we have a problem"
