First of all, this is one of my first few posts, so forgive me if this is in the wrong section.
The backstory:
I just recently bought an HTC One M8 (AT&T) and had it unlocked via AT&T to put on T-Mobile. Literally everything works besides MMS. I've tried APN settings every way that I could, and nothing. I've done some research and found that if I'm having this problem, it has something to do with the AT&T service that the phone was on. I did a factory reset on it and then re-did the APN settings again, but still no avail. I did some MORE reading and found that rooted devices don't have this issue, for whatever reason. So, now I'm looking into that. However, I don't want to brick the thing because I just got it.
I have a couple questions before I dive any deeper into the rooting and/or flashing a 5.0.1(I think) GPE, if I'm even going to.
First of all, how easy is it to brick Android phones nowadays? I've got a friend who gets a new device simply to tinker with and he said it's not terribly difficult unless you're really dumb. I've rooted and flashed a new firmware on my Kindle Fire, and it works like a charm, so I'm not completely new to the scene.
Second, I found this tutorial... http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2799796
And it seems to be the one that I'm going to follow. But do I need to S-Off first?

Second a, If I do, how? Firewater seems to be dead and Sunshine I have to pay for, which I would like to avoid, though I'm not completely opposed.Third, is there any more info you need from me? If there is, I can post within.
Second b, is Sunshine any more safe than Firewater?
