HTC One M8 International model FW 1.12.1540.17
Bootloader: UNLOCKED
Rooted: YES
S-OFF: YES
CID: 11111111/SuperCID
I read here that my FW should be brought up to the current revision that a ROM I'd like to run should match. I notice most ROMs run on 1.54.401.10 & 1.54.401.5.
I have been attempting to update my FW but keep running in to error 24 parsing error, due to the modelid number not matching. I was under the assumption that one, FW must match ROM, and two that if I was S-OFF and SuperCID I could flash ANY firmware. So why am I having this issue?

Is it just as simple as renaming the modelid to match that of my device, like it is to remove the recovery.img to keep TWRP? Also will this cause me to lose S-OFF? Also I've been trying to flash 1.54.401.5, I have thought about trying to flash 1.54.401.10 but not sure if FW updates are incremental updates only, since the 1.54.401.10 has a lot fewer IMG files then the 1.54.401.5.

That's more likely not an international m8. International m8 model number I'd OP6B100 and cid is HTC__001.
I'm not sure where you got your phone from, also not sure if there is any difference between firmware of these two different variants.

I got my phone from a small local carrier in Wyoming, USA. They in the past have sold "International" models, SIM Unlocked. There is no branding or anything other then HTC on the device.
Not sure where to go from here...I know HTC has OTA update for it because girlfriends HTC is on the 1.54.whatever. So I'm at a loss of what I am to do.
I'd like to update to latest firmware keeping unlocked bootloader, root, s-off, and SuperCID(Which doesn't seem to actually work?) so I can install a custom ROM based on same firmware.
This has been a little frustrating, working on this for two days now to get to where I am.

Are you running stock, or do you have backup of your stock Rom? Did your GF got her phone in the same place?

Me and the GF got the phone same place, same time, right out of the sealed brown box they were shipped in, one after another.
I am running stock ROM, and have made a NANDROID backup with TWRP. I have also made a backup of my radio. Reading another thread my model # looks like an AT&T device but my CID is definitely different, and of course it is because I'm not on AT&T.

Ok, so when you try to check for update in setting--about--software update it says your phone is up to date right?
Also what is the software number in

My phone says there is an update available, I have NOT taken the update because I didn't want to lose the chance to unlock everything. Like BL, S-OFF, Root, SuperCID, etc...It keeps pestering about the update and the GF didn't care and took the OTA update. I'm coming from Galaxy S4, and DroidX so this HTC is WAY new to me.

Ok. There you go. You already have a-off, right. If you do, ota update won't put it back to s-on. I run ota while s-off and I stayed s-off. Also you do not need to relocked bootloader, but you have to have stock recovery.

LOL okay simple enough. I was concerned an OTA would wipe out all the S-OFF stuff and SuperCID. I will take the OTA update then. I see the GF's is 1.54.1540.9 which is where I assume mine will go, not 1.54.401.5 or .10 like the ROMs in the Android Development forum. These ROM's are still safe to flash?

It will update to the version that's written in the OTA notification. The last numbers of the version I.e. are just minor carrier/region differences. I believe .9 and .10 are almost identical. Maybe there is difference in radio or so.
The Roms from development forums are safe to flash now as well, they would run just fine, but I always update my to the last available just for hboot, radio.
Also don't forget that you have to flash stock recovery for ota so succeed. And also don't forget you will loose root. So after update you will need to flash stock recovery and root your Rom if you want. And of course Don't forget to make backup of your stock Rom just in case you need it again.

OP, you have the US unlocked M8, not the International one. The 'Security' in the update is to denote it's a security update and doesn't affect S-OFF at all.
If you want to change your phone to the EU unbranded handset you'll have to also change the MID but then it probably won't work on 4G properly so you're better off just updating with the build you have now

Thank you so much for this information. I take it when you say unlocked, you mean carrier unlocked, as the bootloader was locked.
How do I apply the OTA FW update to the device? Seems like a silly question, but when I follow along it boots straight to TWRP where it won't flash. Am I to flash this zip in ADB? Confused now

You have to be 100% stock to flash an OTA update, so you can't do it in TWRP

Is there a TWRP style zip to flash for this device instead of the OTA update?

Download ota, flash stock recovery from here, make sure it match your current software number.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51532764
If you rooted you can flash it with this app, just make sure you flash it to recovery partion.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52860295
If not rooted flash it with fastboot.
Then click install ota.

Version-main is empty as a result of flashing a buggy TWRP and CID is superCID thus hard to tell. MID would fit for 154.401 as well as 2.22.401 recovery. To be sure a question. Are you still running stock ROM. If yes you could check setting > about phone > software information > software number. If you are running a custom ROM this information is likely not to be valid. o2 Germany stock ROM e.g. has a x.xx.207.xx version number

Hi
I am running Android Revolution HD.
If you flash Philz Recovery, you will at least be able to get your version-main back and then you'll be able to look for that version in the Stock Recovery Section.
You CID should probably either be O2___001 or O2___002..

Hi John
Can i install Philz alongside TWRP?
Also i downloaded Build prop editor and under "ro.aa.cidlist" has the following cid numbers
htc 001
htc e11
htc 102
htc 203
htc 405
etc. Are they relevant?
Philz will overwrite TWRP as you can only run one recovery at a time.
This list names CID of different carriers.

How long ago did you get the phone, and have you done any OTA updates since you've had it.
If you bought it before March/April (ish) and haven't done any updates then it's likely that you're on the 1.12.206.17 version.
If you've done an OTA since then you'll probably be on 1.54.206.5... in which case try this, this is the stock recovery for 1.54.206.5..
There are Backups for both versions in the Stock Backups Page.
This is for the 1.12.206.17
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_9hxg3el0DpN2xpbkx6NGkwRE0/edit?pli=1
And this is for the 1.54.206.5
https://mega.co.nz/#F!odoimZRD!fXWN36-1i3AUdkAHcgfy_A
I'm not trying to mess you about, honest, but you'll to go back to TWRP to use them. :angel:

HBOOT 3.18 ? You updated the OTA to latest 4.4.3?
If so then you're fresh out of luck, I don't see any 2.xx.206/207.x stock recoveries for O2(UK/German) devices. Even on the German forum they only have the 1.54.206.5/10 ones.
Only choices you have then is to either:
1) convert - Seeing as you are S-OFF
2) roll back to older version and go through update again this time taking a backup of stock recovery. Flash old Firmware, you can probably get tutorials on here somewhere on how to do it.
3) scout the mobile phone boards(locally) and see if someone can drop you a stock recovery or
4) Wait until someone uploads a stock recovery.
In order to provide these stock recoveries, we need people to upload them and share the links and as you can see, guys like you don't do it! So we're stuck with no backups to share with guys in similar position like yourself
Good Luck!

I take it they rolled out the latest 4.4.3 for the customers. Honestly I wasn't keeping tabs on whether they rolled or not. I just saw the HBOOT version and thought that he might have updated to 4.4.3 because as far as I know it only changed to 3.18 with 4.4.3 before then it was 3.16. I could be wrong though?
I suppose if the OP didn't flash any custom ROMs etc he could just go to settings > about > software information, and confirm either way

He's already on Android Revolution HD.
There's a link to the 1.54.206.5 firmware on the Android Revolution Site, but would it work with the wrong version-main in the android-info.txt
http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One_M8/206/
I think the way I got my version-main back, was to flash a different version stock recovery, it wouldn't work because it was the wrong version number, it just kept dropping back to HBoot, but it did bring it back when I then reflashed CWM / Philz.

What I meant was.. You probably had the right recovery or at least knew what one you needed.
It's a similar situation to one that I was in the other day. I had no version-main, so I didn't know which recovery to flash. So I took a guess and flashed a stock recovery for my device, it didn't work because it was the wrong one, but it did give me my version-main back in getvar all.
I then flashed back to Philz Recovery because I had no recovery. Once I knew the version main, I managed to find the recovery... :good:
...John...
To confirm I am on 4.4.3. I will see what comes along in near future. Should of read a few more posts before rooting.. Again help appreciated.

Hi Rlumby.
I was just wondering why you want to return to the stock recovery. Do you need to to send it back, so you need to return it back to it's original condition or do you want to keep it open for OTA's, etc...
Since you are S-Off and SuperCID, I don't see any reason why you couldn't flash another carriers firmware, or like BerndM14 said, maybe convert it to a Developer Edition or a GPE Edition.. It will wipe everything so if you do go down this road, make sure you back everything up first...
...John...
Hi John.
It was just an option should I choose to. Now you mention it I may go for developer edition. Will check out what's out there.

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I want to go back to stock recovery to perform an OTA (4.4.4). I'm currently using ViperOne m8 2.5. My Cid is called HTC_Y13. But I couldn't find it anywhere.
What to do?
I'm Danish by the way. My phone is a One M8 and I believe it's the international model..

here's the steps to get you back to stock
download this > https://mega.co.nz/#!VcZAgIgT!flJca5C_hRl6pgAn5EXp4qbJCl0ONjZB8PHNylw5f3Y
while it's downloading go into TWRP and choose Backup
uncheck everything except boot ... do the backup
this will create a folder on your sdcard TWRP/BACKUPS/your_Serial_no/Todays date
when the download is complete extract it to the Todays date folder. Make sure it's just files in the folder and no folders
now boot back to TWRP and choose restore and restore the backup / make sure system and boot are checked.
the last step is to put back the stock recovery
use this one > http://d-h.st/WB4
you flash it the same as TWRP
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
your phone should now be back to stock and ready for OTA update

COLLECTION of Stock backup's
Your CID is HTC__Y13 you can download any x.xx.401.x backup from that thread.
The WWE (World Wide English) nandroid backups have the same main version build numbers. All these nands have the main number that is based on the x.xx.401.xx build and all these CIDS are compatible
HTC__001
HTC__E11
HTC__102
HTC__203
HTC__405
HTC__Y13 <<<THERE IS YOUR CID
HTC__304
HTC__A07
HTC__002
HTC__016
HTC__032
HTC__J15
HTC__M27
HTC__A48
HTC__K18
Click to expand...

Download any x.xx.401.x backup (HTC__001 will be fine) and backup through correct custom recovery(Philz if it was Philz, TWRP if it was a TWRP created backup).
You can also download any x.xx.401.x stock recovery for your device OR you can grab the latest stock recovery from the OTA(Copy OTA.zip to your PC and extract the recovery.img file inside the firmware.zip).
Returning Stock
I'm also a little bit confuse with all information. I've been tryng to solve my ROM problem about 2 days.
I have flashed the ARHD 21.0 on my phone but a lot of errors are happening (common ones like no Wi-fi and other more annoying like extended reboot time). I'm trying to get back to the stock ROM to perform a update of my firmware but I'm kind of very lost in the forum.
My getvar is like:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.16.0.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.15.2133156.UA13G

(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: ab0efa49
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
I'm very afraid to flash something wrong because everything went wrong with me. What version should I flash? I guess my phone is the International version (since I'm a brazilian and HTC don't sell phones here)
Thanks in advance.

No I guess your phone is an International version, not because you're Brazillian but because your CID says "HTC__001" which is International. Like You no doubt read in the 2 posts just above yours, download a nandroid backup for your device and restore it via the correct custom recovery. I even put a link to the thread with the nandroid collection in my first post here!!!
Just download the nandroid for your device, it'll be the 1.54.401.x backup seeing as you're still on the 3.16bootloader. 3.18 was 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 is 3.19 so you're probably still on 1.54.401.x. Download the 1.54.401 backup and restore in custom recovery. Afterwards just flash back the stock recovery.img
Make sure recovery.img is in your adb folder and boot into bootloader and use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img <That'll give you stock recovery again and you can reboot back into OS and download/install and update the OTA/Firmware as it comes all the way to 3.28.401.6/7

Sorry man, but I did. I read the post before mine. But I like I said, I'm trying to do this about 2 days and everything went wrong, so I thought that the version HTC__Y13 could have a different procedure that HTC__001.
I'm not the kind of user that thinks the problem is just happening to him. I read a lot of things but seems that more I read, more doubt I get.
Anyway, thank you very much for the fast answer. I will try what you said. :good:
Just one doubt. My ROM is 4.4.4 and my bootloader is 3.16. Is this wrong?

Yes, the 4.4.4 ROM MUST have 3.28.xxx.x firmware in order to function properly. You're still on much older firmware which is why you have excessively long boot up times, wifi/data problems(Outdated radio) etc. In order for the ARHD 21.0 to work correctly you must be on the correct firmware(4.4.4 android version, 3.28.401.6/7 <<<If you're international version which you are). This has been the case for some time now, you can do an easy google search "htc one m8 xda ..." along with something like "slow boot up" etc and you'll see that all of them had the same problems, outdated firmware.
Which is why you'll have to go back to stock and do the OTA updates as it comes. If you were S-OFF you could have done it manually and flashed the firmware manually but since you're S-ON you can't do it. Flashing Radio firmware you'll need to either be a) S-OFF or b) Official HTC OTA.

Thanks man! I'm now on 3.28.401.6.
Before your post, I hadn't understood that I needed restore from 1.54.401.x backup (I almost restore 3.28.401.7).
Firewater didn't work in my device, so I have to pay $25 to be S-OFF (and $25 is a lot of money when converting to reais - currency of Brazil)
I will come back tomorrow to give you Thanks (reach my max today).
PS: The 3.28.401.7 update didn't arrive to my device.
Confused!!!
I'm really confused!! I'm not that hardcore at all..
All i want is to update from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 so I can Update from ViperOne 2.5 to 3.0.
I tried to flash a Stock Recovery called "stock_recovery_1.54.401.5_recovery.img" and I think it succeeded. Hard to see a difference. But I followed a guide made by Sakitech on Youtube. Then I searched for any updates. But it said "No update currently available". So I just flashed the custom Recovery again.
Sorry.. But I'm a Dummy
I am having some major issues too. Im just wanting to go back to stock so I can use sunshine to S-off my phone. My CID is ORANG001 so i got a nandroid backup 1.54.61.5 which is the correct stock and the corresponding stock recovery, all went well but not only does Sunshine still refuse to work, if i take any OTA updates, the first installs ok but then my wifi wont work, ie the switch will not turn green it just goes grey, any ideas!!?!!?

I think I can help you. After all my mistakes, I think I have learn something.
To update to 4.4.4 (and for ViperOne 3.0) you need to update your firmware first. To do that, you have 3 options:
1) S-OFF and update your firmware by flashing a simple file.
2) S-ON and search your EXACTLY modelid and cidnum on this thread
3) -That one BerndM14 help me in previous posts - Check your firmware and return your phone (ROM and Recovery) to stock basing on firmware version. This post explain better.
Like BerndM14 said to you, it is just necessary you to download any x.xx.401.x backup AND any x.xx.401.x stock recovery. After that, follow the instructions of the second question of the post. You will unzip the backup and inside, find a file called 'boot.emmc.win' or 'boot.win'. You have to flash this (fastboot), do a full wipe and then restore the backup (custom recovery). After all you return to bootloader (rebooting) and flash the recovery with this:
fastboot flash recovery <recoveryName>
That it. At least, what I understand. Any advanced user could confirm this informations?

I think I got a Little closer now. Let med undrstand this S-OFF right. Does that make everything a lot easier??
I tried flashing Again yesterday, but without any luck. I downloaded a major stock backup zip file, but I'm not sure how to flash it. I wish I could Just hand it over to someone, but I vant find anyone here in Denmark who is cabable at doing this. ?.
I think The biggest problem is that i dont know where, when and what to flash ?

I think S-OFF let the things much more easier. My m8 is S-ON so I don't know a lot of this, but there is some tutorial about firewater. If this tool doesn't work for you (like happen to me), you will have to pay $25 for Sunshine. From what I read, this method is guaranteed to get S-OFF.
With S-OFF, you will find some posts with updates of the firmware. So you don't have to go back to stock to update it.
To continue from where you stop, you have to follow this post. Like I said before, download any x.xx.401.x backup AND any x.xx.401.x stock recovery and follow the instructions of "How do i restore the stock nandroid backup" question (same post).
You don't flash the major stock backup zip file. You RESTORE it, on your custom recovery (TWRP or Philz) according from which recovery the backup was made (for example, if you download this one: 1.54.401.5 - TWRP Thanks to Fisha21. This backup was made on TWRP so you have to restore it on TWRP. But before restore, you need to flash the "boot.img or boot.emmc.win" file that is INSIDE this backup zip file. After that you make a full wipe in recovery and then RESTORE the major backup (remember, you don't restore the zip file, you have to unzip it on your phone like is said on the "How do i restore the stock nandroid backup" question of the post).
After all, you will flash the recovery of the same version that you download on the same post.

You looked your firmware version, befere restore the 1.54.61.5 version? You have to check the CID AND the main version of your phone, like it said on the beggining of the post:
Take the main version number and CID and check if it exists in the collection below ! If it doesn't you can always make a request here.

My main version number is 2.26.61.5 I think but I asked weather using 1.54.61.5 would be OK and was told it would be fine as its *.**.61.* based backup. Is this incorrect as they use a different firmware base?? Is this whats causing my issues??

That's where I got the stock nandroid from, orang001 1.54.61.5 TWRP. Got the matching recovery, all flashed correctly but then like you say after a OTA my WiFi stopped working, mobile data is fine. The WiFi toggle in settings, won't switch over to green, just goes grey.

I Flashed a file named boot.emmc.win from inside the unzipped backup. I moved the file to my adb_fastboot folder and flashed it this way: fastboot flash recovery boot.emmc.win
Then I had trouble gaining access to custom recovery (TWRP) so I tried flashing the custom recovery again. I got in! Made a full wipe, chose "install", twrp > BACKUPS > Serialnumber > Backup.zip. But it failed!!!!! It was missing a md5 file???
I'm starting to regret all this root-mess
Trying to install Android Revolution HD lolipop, i have tried installing it but it just gets stuck and reboots into recovery. I need newer firmware but i can't find anything that supports my model and cid. Any help would be appreciated. Or can i flash firmware that does not have my cid somehow ? What are my options?
TWRP 2.8.5.0
Current Firmware: 3.11.1700.5
S-OFF
0P6B12000
cidnum: CWS__001 AT&T
I think i figured it out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727
Vomer's guide pretty much covers it. You can change your CID since you are s-off. And you can make it SuperCID 11111111, which allows you to flash firmware for any CID (SuperCID essentially "passes" any CID check).
You can also try the firmware for the US Dev Edition. Its Lollipop firmware, and intended to be used on AT&T's network:

Looks like you're running the GPe conversion. If so, you first need to get back to the Sense partition so follow the 'Back to Sense' thread in General and then flash the Sense-based ROM of your choice (along with matching FW package)

Good catch.
I have recently bought a new htc one m8 which came with lollipop out of the box and yesterday I noticed that my phone is having s-off enabled and cid - 11111111 by default. I haven't done anything to my phone (no root access and bootloader is locked).... So my question is will I receive OTA updates in future? And is it good to have this options(cid and s-off) enabled by default. Pls help... ?

Hello kkaranjkar,
As long as you got your bootloader locked - and even with an unlocked bootloader - you'll be abled to install al OTA you gonna receive on your One M8. Only question I got: did you in fact by a new phone, or purchase a used one? If it is a used one it is of some importance to have look which ROM/Firmware version you got installed on it, as some sell theire phones to others leaving a before installed custom ROM on it.
You could check that under "Settings > About Phone > Software-Information > Software-Number"

It is new and the version is 4.16.401.10
Even if my cid is 11111111... Will I able to receive update through OTA?

Ok thanks... So I will not have to manually flash that firmware zip right? It will automatically get downloaded and installed as all other normal updates do right?

Yes you are right. New firmware will be included with the OTA if you receive one.
Which means I don't have to change my cid from super cid in order to get an update

It's not 100% sure, you have to check and make sure that the custom rom isn't incomplete. The 2 main things that are important are :
-The rom has to be factory stock, so no missing standard apps
-you must have the stock recovery and NOT a custom recovery
If the phone does not meet these 2 criteria the ota will fail ! And indeed root and an unlocked bootloader is not important, that will work. So at this point we can not say you are good to go for sure !

I've heard of rare instances of s-off from the factory. But I've never heard of SuperCID (1111111) from the factory. I suspect this is a used and modded phone, returned to stock condition and fraudulently (or at least unwittingly) sold as "new". Or refurbished.

But the phone is working nice......... Should I change my cid to any of the European countries or keeping the super cid as it is .. Is fine? My main motive is that I my phone should get the OTA update

If you want OTA updates, then yes, you need to change the CID to match a known variant. Depends on where you are, but a lot of non-US folks use the WWE (world-wide English) variant.

No, your phone storage will not be erased by changing your CID. (Your CID is literally just a few bytes on a special partition, but you need to be S-off to write it) It might be erased if you use an RUU, depending on how you apply it. The only time phone storage is erased is if you used the bootloader unlock token from HTCdev or you used the Windows based RUU tool.
If you use a Nandroid backup of WWE and switch the CID to match, you will get OTA updates without erasing user data.

Even if your firmware is stock and the bootloader is stock......even then the recovery could be custom as there is a rom installed. What i am trying to say is that you have to check EVERYTHING for the full 100%.
It's too easy to say that if your rom is stock its all oke !
Do a : fastboot getvar all
Post the info here WITHOUT the serial and imei and let's see what's happening !

You still have KitKat firmware, as shown by your OS version. You CANNOT flash a modified firmware package while S-On. You need to either run a signed RUU, or go back to stock and use HTC's/your carrier's OTA updates.
Do you have a stock ruu? or maybe how to s-off? because i cant find anywhere firewater.
Maybe this will help with something:

What firmware did you try to flash? It looks like it was GPE firmware.
Is your bootloader screen black or white now?
My bootloader screen it's black, it's that important?...
And the firmware was download from HDRevolution website.

Yup, that's very important. Black hboot screen is the GPE version (and white is Sense version hboot). You at least partially flashed a GPE firmware. This isn't supposed to happen with s-on (firmware for other versions should be blocked). But I do remember a while back, a few folks having the same issue; where a GPE firmware or RUU partially flashed (with s-on) and caused some problems.

That doesn't help. Quite a few firmwares are posted there. What specific number firmware did you flash? Did you flash the firmware number (3.11.1700.5) shown OS number on your hboot screen?

I don't know why you flashed this. Not only is it not current firmware (Kitkat, as another noted before), but its not even for your version (its GPE version firmware, as I mentioned).

That is the proper RUU for the AT&T version; and your bootloader is relocked, as it should be for RUU.
So I think the problem is the GPE firmware you flashed before.
Try flashing the proper firmware first, then RUU again, and hopefully that will work.
I can't find the 4.28.502.2 firmware. But 4.28.502.1 firmware is posted on the following. Use the Full stock firmware. Hopefully, this is close enough to 4.28.502.2 to work.

That RUU will not work, anyway. Its for the Developer Edition, so the only way to run it would be to change your CID (s-off required, and working OS is needed to s-off).

Firewater was discontinued by its devs in December 2014. Since it has an online component (needed to connect to servers), it won't work even if you find the firewater binary.
Sunshine is the only current working s-off method, and as I mentioned, it requires a working OS to work.

Yes, firmware needs to have the same CID and MID. But the 3.11.1700.5 firmware doesn't go with your CID and MID (CWS__001 and 0P6B12000)
"1700" firmwares (such as 3.11.1700.5) are for the Google Play Edition (GPE) with CID of GOOGL001 and MID of 0P6B17000.
Proper firmwares for your AT&T CID and MID will have the number "502" in the position x.xx.502.x

That's right. And as I already stated, sunshine requires a working OS, which you don't have. And since getting the OS working again seems to be the main reason you want to get s-off, you see its quite pointless.

No problem And to flash this firmware i can do it like this:
f you are S-ON ---> Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)
If you are S-OFF ---> no need to re-lock the bootloader.
Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location (e.g. c:/SDK/platform-tools/fastboot.exe)
Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip
Open command prompt
Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol down + power ===> fastboot)
Connect device to the PC
In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location
Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)
Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet or in case it's S-ON)
Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Type: fastboot reboot
Unlock your bootloader and flash custom recovery if you are going to use custom ROM.

Those might be unsigned firmwares, but I thought they were signed.
I think your options at this point:
1) Find signed firmwares of the versions I recommended.
2) Unlock the bootloader again, flash TWRP again, then flash a 3.xx based custom or stock ROM (which will have working WiFi). Then s-off by sunshine so you can fix the firmware (will allow an unsigned firmware to be flashed).
Another thing to note, when you flashed the GPE firmware, it reverted the recovery back to stock recovery. Which is why you no longer have custom recovery.
