Video Description:
Thanks to HTC’s amazing policy on unlocking bootloaders (essentially that they promise to always allow you to do so), rooting an HTC device isn’t too hard and the HTC One M8 is no different. It may seem like a lot of steps, but they are all relatively easy and fool proof (since we don’t have to hack the device, again, thanks to HTC allowing us to do this).
In this procedure we’ll be using Hasoon’s All-in-One toolkit to help automate the process of unlocking the bootloader of the HTC One M8, then flashing a custom recovery, and then installing SuperSU to manage what applications get root permissions, etc.
Why should you do this you ask? Well, a lot of reasons including:
Remove apps that were preinstalled by your carrier/manufacturer from your device.
Free up storage space (because of the above benefit).
Increase battery life (apps that might have been running constantly can be removed).
Increase performance (after removing apps that are always running, the device will be less bogged down and run smoother).
Update to a new version of Android (by flashing a custom recovery/ROM, see the end of this procedure for more info on that).
Tons of other customizations when you use your new found administrative rights to flash a custom ROM (again, see the end of this procedure for more info on that).
