What variant of the HTC M8 do you have?

The best way is using a PC to root/unlock the phone.

There is also another method that doesn't use a PC called Sunshine (NOT compatible with the Verizon M8 running 5.0.x). It will not only root the phone but unlock the bootloader. However, this is a licensed application and it's cost is $25.00 USD.

I was rooted. I unrooted to RUU update the M8 to 5.0 for several reasons. The biggest was I couldn't figure out which bootloader I needed. I may root again, not sure yet. I only RUU within the past week.
