Check this at the bottom.
I rooted my phone etc and returned back to stock.
Send my phone back to the store I bought. They checked everything and I was refunded.
But I allready bought a new M8. Best damn phone out there.

What RUU Do I Need?

Hi, I have been searching the http://www.filefactory.com/f/7cc7b2fbdd03c031/ directory for my RUU, but there seems to be many UK ones. I want to downgrade back to stock, and I bought my phone unlocked from mobiles.co.uk (so a UK phone), but all of the UK RUU have some sort of carrier attached to it?
Many Thanks
If your phones unbranded you want a ruu with .401. In it

Better to go for 2.17.401.2 - always go for the newest (assuming you're unbranded)

Just got a HOX today and before I mess around and install custom roms etc I want to make sure I can go back to stock if needed, I've found a suitable RUU on that page but you have to be a premium member to download them as there over 500mb is there anywhere else they can be found? I need a O2 UK RUU

What I did was restored my original back up, then flashed stock recovery then relocked bootloader then ran the ruu and it wiped everything.
At a guess you'll need the 2.17 stock recovery, not sure where you'll find it unless its on the forum somewhere and the generic 2.17.401 ruu from the filefactory website.

Back to stock rom

I rooted my htc m8 that i got from taiwan and flashed a custom rom without taking a nandroid! Is there a way for me to go back to 100 percent stock?
I am still S-on, and i understand there are no ruu list yet for the m8, but i need to restore to stock.
Anybody knows a way how?

Ignore please
You can always try flashing Android Revolution which is an extremely optimized stock ROM.

OK first thing I was asking you to see if you did a Nandroid Back of your Bell Stock Rom that you might need one day....but that won't work now cause your not stock completely........
Secondly if using firewater and gives you WHELP....... IT'S not going to S-Off.....so your SOL.....so now if you wanted to sell your phone and try another to get S-OFF...this is where your Nandroid Backup would of come in handy....<<<<

Stuck on 4.4.2 or what?

So I got my m8 htcdev boot loader unlocked, with twrp, rooted, S-on, 4.4.2, only to realize that in order to flash ViperRom I gotta update my firmware. Not exactly sure what to do. Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. What software? Any particular reason you're just not updating via the OTA, 4.4.3 is already out for what, 2 months now? Also, why not do a search for info on how to do firmware upgrades? [2014.09.07][GUIDE] FUU and Firmware flashing
I attempted to do the ota but it didn't show up and for some reason I have to wait 24hrs before checking again. Is it okay to do a stock ota update even though I have a custom recovery with root?

No, you must be stock. Root is fine, you'll lose it though but you can flash it back afterwards. Recovery on the other hand needs to be stock.
Alright. So can I just flash the stock recovery again and it will work?

Correct, assuming you made no other changes to the system, or didn't make changes to build.prop or deleted apps like Facebook, Twitter etc. If all those are "as is" when you got the device then yeah, only flash back stock recovery and you're good to go :good:
Haha alright thanks a ton! I was totally lost with what to do. I just have one last issue. When I attempted to flash the stock recovery through fastboot I got an error about "target max download size" would you possibly know a solution to this?

No, sorry I'm not familiar with that error

Alright. Could it be possible that the ota was pulled? I read somewhere on an android central thread that AT&T recalled the update because it caused battery problems
