Hi!
Throughout the last few days I've found myself to be frustrated with the fact that I literally cannot get myself back to the stock sense 6 -
I'm currently running the google play edition software for the HTC One M8
Supercid 11111111
unlocked
Rooted
TWRP
Can someone please explain the exact process to get back to the stock rom.
Thank you!

Did you flash the Google Edition rom that converted your phone into a GE phone or did you flash the ROM through a custom recovery? I did the ROM method and went back to my stock nandroid. however if you did the conversion method. you can't go back until the official RUU is released becasue the conversion method resizes the partitions which doesn't allow you to simply go back to stock without an RUU which as fasr as I know, there hasn't been a TMobile RUU released yet.
I rooted my google play edition htc one m8 and flashed cm11 m9 to it a few days ago. I'm having a hard time finding instructions on how to restore this particular edition to full stock. If someone could help me find instructions or an ruu to flash I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

I own a m8 google play edition. I would like to restore it to the original google play edition software. The thread you linked is to take a carrier m8 back to a sense based ruu. In other words that thread, much like your post, is completely useless to me.
The following thread is meant to convert to GPE, so not sure if the RUU would also return you to stock GPE. But my guess, it should work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708589
My suggestion would be search the thread to see if its been discussed, and if not, ask it yourself in that thread.

If it is a true developer edition, you might try backing up, running one of the Developer Edition RUU's to get back to 100% stock, and then see if you can get the OTA update. If this was a conversion, make sure the CID/MID are correct (which requires S-off).

If its truly the Dev Edition, on the stock ROM and stock recovery, you should get OTA.

lock the bootloader and flash then newest RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/ruu-m8-developer-edition-sense-1-54-t2884777
Then simply unlock the bootloader
flash TWRP recovery and SuperSU and a kernel if you need system r/w

Then why did you state in the thread title and OP "stock"?
InsertCoin is a custom ROM and not stock. So you need to return to a stock ROM to install OTA.

1540 is US Dev Edition, and the OP has Euro DE. The RUU likely will not run with incorrect CID, MID. And not sure this is the stock baseline he would want to be on.

Don't know where you obtained that info, but its false. S-off is not needed to install any ROMs.
If the phone is a demo unit, you should have stated that right away in your top post. On a previous HTC device (One X) I believe the demo unit was very difficult, if not impossible to make fully functioning. But no idea if the same is true for the M8 demo unit you have.

Sounds like you just got some random advice, with an unknown link and flashed it. Why on earth would you do such a thing? Stick to XDA, at least here you can go by reputation (number of thanks, Recongnized Contibutor, or Recognized Dev titles).

As I just said in my last response, you do not need S-off to flash any ROMs. If you want help, you need to start actually paying attention to the help that is being given to you. You are also making it very hard to help you, by not giving enough info, and just leaking it out little by little.
You say you can't flash any other ROMs, but that isn't enough information. What happens when you try to flash? Does it fail with an error message? Or flash successful, but doesn't boot? What other ROMs have you tried?
If you want to return to stock to receive OTAs, you will need to find and flash the appropriate nandroid and stock recovery for our CID. Stock backup collection can be found sticky at the top of the General section. There are also various guides on how to return to stock, if you need them just search.

I glad you got it working .. sorry about the dead link, i wish Mike would leave the old version on his site longer
i have an HTC One m8. i rooted my phone and installed the harman kardonn mod. ever since my phone got screwed up and i didnt take a back up. now i want to return to my 100% stock rom with boomsound. i completely wanna unroot my phone. but i cant find the ruu or recovery or Nandroid backups anywhere. most of the links are gone cause MEGA is taken off the web. My software number is 3.35.720.1 running 4.4.4. can someone tell me how to i go back to stock. where can i get the back up/RUU ??? HELP ME PLEASE
So are you going to make a nandroid before making any system changes next time? I would certainly hope so.
You can ask and hope for somebody to post the nandroid for your software version.
Alternately, just find a custom ROM to your liking, and flash it.
HK mod requires appropriate firmware (s-off required).
There's a TMO RUU here: http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_a..._20.56.4198.02L_F_release_385597_signed_2.exe
If you poke around htc you might find more too. Worth a look.
But yeah, like repoint said, you could just flash a stock rom too...might be easier.

There are RUUs for T-Mob US, Sprint, and AT&T, as well as Dev Edition and GPE versions. But s-off is needed to run an RUU that does not match your CID/MID. Its not clear whether the OP has s-on or s-off.
Flashing a stock or any custom ROM is almost certainly easier. Just flash the ROM, and the issues with HK mod incompatibility will be fixed.
Hi.. I've not used my M8 for some time and I'd like to put it back on a stock rom and give it to my mother-in-law. Unfortunately I can't remember how to do much with regards to rooting, fuu, roms, etc, and I'm finding the forums a bit overwhelming.
It is an ATT phone, but the CID was changed to 11111111 so I could sim-unlock it. It's currently on 4.16.401.10, and on the ViperOneM8 v 4.6.1.
We need it to remain sim-unlocked, and on the stock rom.. I've looked around a little bit and found [tutorial] How to get back on stock with TWRP Stock Nandroid Backups. I've downloaded M8_6.12.401.4_WWE_FullStock.zip - if I flash this in TWRP will it return the phone to a stock rom, and will receive OTA updates?
Thank you for any help or answers you can give me,

You can't flash it in recovery. You need to flash it in fastboot, or via SDcard/hboot.
I've given instructions to another user recently on the ViperOneM8 thread. You can see them here.

If you want to keep WWE firmware, yes.
If you want to go back to AT&T firmware (and this is probably a better option for you), there is another way.
Go here (HTC's US website). Scroll down to the Manual System Update Instructions, and read them. There is an RUU download at the end of the instructions.
