I am fairly new to this whole rooting stuff and I don't really know exactly what I'm talking about so please have some patience.
I have had my HTC One M8 Verizon model since August 2014 and I am contemplating on rooting because I'm just tired of all the bloatware and Sense. I just want to put another ROM on my phone and just do that type of stuff but I'm not entirely sure on what I have to do. I think I need to unlock my boot loader but since I'm on Verizon, I can't do it through HTCDev.com and I need another way of doing it. Is there another way of doing it that is safe and won't brick my phone?
Also, my camera lenses are scratched and I was wondering if I should get them fixed and then root it or root my phone first then get it fixed?
What are recoveries/kernels and what do they do?
