Would be so grateful to get some help with this.
HTC One M8- s-off, 3.19 bootloader unlocked, cwm recovery....I don't think it is rooted but kind of a newbie, it was rooted at some point
I tried to install the harmon karman setup and forgot to root first and it has bricked my phone
Phone says no OS installed, would you like to root by installing SuperSU
I have tried factory reset, tried flash a nandroid backup and it says installation aborted. Pretty much I can't do a thing wqith the phone. I don't know what othert info may be needed but help would be so appreciated. Thanks!

Try this tool kit to root, flash recovery and start over. I'm not big on toolkits, but they can be helpful sometimes.
You can also probably find the ruu and run it. You will need to root again afterwards.

alright guys so my only rooting/rom changing/whatever experience comes from the Droid 1, which was an extreme breeze to install and get root access easily, well overall super easy to install all you needed well now I'm having trouble with the rezound as it's a little more complicated (for me) anyways here's what I need help with
I unlocked my bootloader following the super noob guide, In the super noob guide the directions say to install the ICS leak 3.11 and then install the All in one HTC rezound tool thing I did all of that and Managed to unlock my bootloader and I am not 100% sure if I instaled the custom recovery but It seems like I did, If AmonRa is the ICSandwichy looking bootloader with the blue letters, IF it is then I did install it then here comes what I need help with, I cant seem to get anything out of clicking the perm root on the extras I am running the program on administrator and also tried it without running in administrator, I tried and tried but I can't seem to get root (checked with app root access and odesn't give me it) I even tried installing it through the options of the clockworkmod thing/Adamnro by clicking on the install su & superuser? option it says it installs it but once I'm checking it doesn't work
I have however not installed any kernels nor roms im still running on the ICS leak from when I unlocked the bootloader, Help me great XDA community
any help will be appreciated
EDIT: I forgot I also run it in debug mode and when I try to get perm root I do it when the phone is on
The easiest way to install super user is through amon ra recovery,I believe it's under advanced or devoloper options.or just flash a rooted custom rom I suggest picking one that includes the boot image that gets flashed in bootloader. The newer roms are mostly set up for s-off only and don't include an easily flashable boot image.

I had to flash these 2 files in recovery to get root working. You might need to install busy box once booted up but not 100% sure if that was needed.
I could not get root working by using the option in Amon or the tool. Flashing these 2 files was the only way I was able to get root. I was on 3.14 leak though but should be the same for 3.11
If you are still having trouble and you have a windows based system, t wouldn't hurt to give my toolkit a try. It doesnt have the super fancy GUI but it is very functionable. I designed it to help myself when i was a super noob. It goes through the whole process step by step and explains in the simplest terms possible how you should do it.

just a tip, make sure you have all of the htc drivers when you are doing this and then once you have finished the step telling you to install the recovery, go back into the bootloader by either doing it manually or using my program once your phone is on. (util, then roboot into bootloader) Once you are in the bootloader, see if you can get into the recovery section. If you got in successfully then you should be in a differnet menu, from there go to the development section of amon ra and then select root. Hopwfully you get success but if you did not do the following.
Go to the mounts section of amon ra and then mount the phones usb storage. It should still be plugged in so the device should show up on your computer. Go and download the latest superuser from here:
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
place it in the root of the device storage thats on your computer (the root is the main directory or folder)
then unmount the storage from your phone and go to the flashing section on Amon Ra. From there select the superuser zip folder from the sd card. Flash it and if it still gives you an error i would check your steps or request more help because i cant help you beyond this point.
I hope this walkthrough has helped and good luck on obtaining root. With root you arent limited to anything. If you are feeling good after you get root i would suggest trying to get s-off. To get s-off you have to do hardware tricks not just software tricks, but s-off is much harder and more dangerous. Have fun with your new and hopefully rooted device!
wow after having this post up for a matter of seconds i have a thanks, glad i helped!
thank you very much this worked magically
thank you for your great reply but I tried the above method and it worked beautifully I still checked out and downloaded your tool it is very nice good job on it dude and I got S -off already as well wire trick was tricky as I was trying to use a copper wire and it was workin then I got my old ipod charger cable and cuted it then got mad because I thought it wasn't going to work because they were like tiny wires tied toguether but who knew first try and it worked perfectly...
I'm hoping that someone can help me. I tried the regawMOD rooting method, and after try after try after try, I finally go somewhere but now I am stuck. For some reason it wouldn't work for the longest time. It finally unlocked the bootloader but then it just stopped and I do not have root, no superuser, and no busybox. I am not new to rooting but all I usually do is just follow the guides and get it figured out. Right now I cannot find what I need to do from here. When i go to bootloader it says tampered and unlocked. I tried to download superuser and busybox from the market but neither will work. I have a computer with windows 7 only on it. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
If you have a custom recovery installed download and flash this and you'll have full root
If you don't have a custom recovery installed go here follow the instructions to install a custom recovery and then flash this
Enjoy root
Thanks for replying, but unfortunately I still cannot get this to work. I do not have recovery on my phone and I have tried every method to install twrp and it just will not install. I am completely frustrated with this. The bad thing is I used the HTC unlock method and now I have voided my warranty and I still have no root. If anyone else has any thoughts, I would greatly appreciate it.
Run lazypanda s-off.. and I think you will be good to go.
lol don't know how to do Ulr from my phone but its in development forum

I just went through the procedure to root my HTC Rezound using the instructions from The Unlocker. After I completed the procedure my phone rebooted and Superuser app was installed on my phone and I am still getting the message that my phone is not rooted. I am currently running ICS and don't know if that is the problem. I've seen other forums where they talk about "S" being on or off. I really don't know what that means. I reveiwed the procedure again and did not see that step. This is my first time rooting any phone. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Download CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip from here...
[14.11.2012] SuperSU v0.98

... move it to your ext_sd card, then flash it from recovery. Installing SuperSU will automatically uninstall the Superuser app.

After you unlock your phone. You need to isntall a custom recovery. There are 3 in ths forum. TWRP. CWM. and AmonRA. Find the one you like the most. Just ask if you don't know how to install it. Each thread should have instructions. After flashing the recovery, install the zip in the post above through the custom recovery that you floshed and you will have root inside of your ROM.
The S-on you can say is security-on. It blocks you from messing with certain partitions on the phone you could say. If you want to flash a new rom. You will have to flash the boot.img in HBOOT or fastboot via a computer.
Don't be afraid to ask anything. Just make sure you search first.
i did the easy step by step easy noob root guide. then i did permanent rcovery and root. then i tried installing custom rom, when that didn't work i ued the s-on zip on the user guide. when i realized i wanted s-off completely it was too late, i already flashed counterstrike rom 3.1, so i tried jepuntobear s-off meathod ignoring the warning that you must be on stock rom, now im stock on this jopuntobear boot up. so i dedcided that going back to stock by locking bootloader aggain and using android police stock rom on the sd card would save me but no luck. i screwed up big time will someone please help me undo everything and help me get this phone like it was never messed with? all this for gsm capabilities.
Did you flash the ROM again in fastboot?
Several months ago I started the RegawMOD root process before HTC blocked the tokens. Thing is, it didn't complete. My bootloader screen shows Unlocked. But it didn't go beyond this point. Which may have been the result of my previously malfunctioning computer. I have software version: 1.22.651.3.
Presently, I'm running into a situation because I want to finish rooting this so I can proceed to installing a custom ROM. Obviously I can't just run RegawMOD's .exe again because of the HTC token issue, and from what I've been reading on XDA, this software version (1.22.651.3) doesn't have an un-root process.
I really don't know what to do at this point, I'm not very experienced with rooting/rom'ing and as near as I can tell, there's nothing I can do. Does anyone have any ideas about how to correct this?

If it says unlocked then u need to flash a recovery.. Then from recovery u flash whatever custom rom u want.. Most all custom roms are rooted with busybox.. So just flash recovery then flash rom and u will be golden!:good:

Thank you. As I mentioned, I'm relatively new to this, so not entirely sure what to search for on XDA to flash recovery. I'm not asking for the answers, but, do you have any recommended search terms that I should use?
Look up team unlimited on the web, download twrp for your phone, enable usb debugging in dev options and push the recovery to your phone with adb.

Stuck more than ever
So, here's the deal: I found out that when I went through the Regaw root process, I do actually have a recovery on here. So I attempted to flash a ROM, which promptly wouldn't load. It says "unknown Md5 error".I looked up some information about the MD5, and it's related to some left-over stuff from before I used the root process, which I've lost because I've since formatted my computer.
I tried running RUU; it typically fails saying it can't detect the device. I've downloaded all the HTC drivers and the RUU starts ok sometimes, but not all the time. Right now, the only screens I can get to are the bootloader and recovery.
Download a ROM with a son installer included. Boot into recovery by holding power and volume down. Wipe everything in recovery except your storage. Mount your phone to your PC via USB mount storage. Transfer the rom to your phone and flash.
