Advice requested on root path



I previously owned an HTC One M8 which I rooted using the weaksauce/firewater method. I recently banged up the phone and bought a Samsung Galaxy G5 which I also rooted (took forever) but I didn't like it so I bought and just received a new (used) HTC One M8 (HTC6525LVW) running Android 5.0.1 which I would like to root.

I've googled, checked the forums and have found a ton of information so I'm looking for some very high level guidance. I'm up for just about anything including downgrading my version of Android but I'm not sure of the best move. I'm only interested in root. Any other benefits are fine but my goal is to get root access so I can run my ad blocker, titanium backup etc.

I don't need any sort of step by step instructions just an indicator of the best method and I'll do all the rest. Thank you for the help!

I have tested different recovery options of which one of my 7s tabs is stuck on a boot loop now :eek: ( BNMGUYs_CWM_based_recovery_v6.0.3.3_for_ATM7029_po rtable_[cxz] ) is the only one that I found will load up but obviously the partitions don't match so it don't work.

As for root utoo-root-signed zip roots the device and installs super user it works well.

So, now I'm trying to get some walkthrough help to get CWM working and a permanent install instead of the overlay portable version.

Also trying to find a way to back up the rom, everything I've tried in the market worked, and to weary to flash a signed update type zip until I can at least get a recovery image, any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Also looking for a compatible rom, or just someone to give me walkthroughs as I novice a diy rom and just build it the way I want.

It's be a waste to just scrap these little buggers
