Just flash a gpe rom, there is no difference in converting it except you can't flash sense roms…. Doesn't really make "sense"

I haven't found a good tutorial for doing this. Everything always says "refer to this thread" or "use this guy's instructions" and there's always some uncertainty in the mix.
Do I need to s-off the device to install a gpe rom? Will I still get ota updates from google?

Unlock bootloader
Flash twrp recovery
Backup stock system in twrp
Download gpe Rom. I like sinless
Flash Rom.
Soff not needed but can be handy in the future and you should get it while you can. You will not get ota from Google but all the good developers release updates quickly

but I lose my warranty at HTC's whim because I need to register at the htcdev site, right?

You gotta pay to play. You could use towel root, and sunshine which you don't have to register, but you will still be soff and they are not dumb

Hey guys,
I am eligible for an upgrade with AT&T. I have the following questions:
Can I S-off my device?
Can I 'convert' it into a google play edition so it receives updates?
Thanks!

Yes, but you know rom's get updates too. Just saying, nice to be able to run sense and gpe.

I don't know what you mean? You're saying you can dual boot GPE and Sense?

If you do a full gpe conversion you can't just simply flash a sense ROM because they have different system partitions. Imo, It's better to just flash a gpe ROM that way you can quickly switch back and forth if you want.

To go back to the original question. If you want full GPE conversion that can receive ota updates the link above will, providing you flash the stock recovery (a link to this is provided in the thread) What Otariq says is correct, it does actually convert your phone to a full GPE, partitions and all.
You can flash back to sense but there is a simple procedure you have to follow..
Depends what you prefer.
I am on the conversion and love it
As the title says, I would like to turn my T-Mobile HTC One M8 unlocked to stock Sense like the European version, i don't like T-Mobile's mods in it apart from bloatware. thanks (i will upload bootloader photos and more on friday)
Wow you serious? 95 posts and you're basically asking if you could flash a ROM on your phone?

That would be the stock HTC ROM, with no carrier bloat, so if what you are looking for is pure HTC Stock, that would be it.
I need to find a stock rom for the Google Play Edition version of the M8, but after searching for several hours, I found nothing. Currently, I'm running a buggy version of CyanogenMod 11. Nearly every post I find on Google or xda pertains to the Sense One M8, does anyone know where to find a rom or how to restore back to stock GPE?
Any help would be appreciated!
Lol is there such a thing as a stable CM rom?

Yeah, I've learned my lesson, don't do CM unless I'm out of manufacture updates lol.
So I do see the RUU file linked above, but is it possible to just flash a normal GPE rom in TWRP? I haven't s-off(ed) the phone and it'd be great if I could just reflash, just like most roms.

sinless rom is a very good gpe based rom that you can flash with twrp

Thanks, I'll give it a shot! I really should have added this to the original post, but I'm hoping to get stock with a TWRP flash (which may not easily possible from the looks of it) so I can upgrade when Google blesses us with the Lollipop OTA update.

That GPE Conversion is very easy to do. Take your time read carefully and you'll be on your way to lollipop heaven. Its a lot easier than it looks,trust me.

I could try it this weekend. I'm just a bit reluctant because it seems like such an easy thing to get, yet there aren't any real GPE stock roms as far as I can see. Also I'm not too enthusiastic about paying for s-off. I know from testing a few months ago that firewater doesn't work on my device which just leaves Sunshine s-off for $25

I suppose so. Coming from the GS3 it seems pretty silly that there's no return from flashing a rom lol.
I'll hold out for doing the s-off + RUU and use another rom like sinless until we see if Lollipop gets sent out as a flashable update or full install zip (or, of course, if someone comes across a flashable stock image in the mean time). Thanks everyone for the help so far!
For anyone with the same problem, I've found the original One M8 images! GPE stock rom image can be found here: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
Make sure to choose the One M8 Google Play Edition under the devices dropdown, then you'll find the stock images below.
*Edit* These must be built from the source code.
What are the benefits/differences between Dev Ed Sense handset and "normal" Sense handset, apart from earlier OTA updates ?
Cheers

Dev edition comes with an unlocked bootloader, that is all
And no carrier bloat

Ok, thanks.
So, being as my m8 is s-off, unlocked and not carrier locked (HTC--001), there would be no real benefits it converting it to a de version ?
Thanks

Any 4.x firmware will work on the latest current ROMs.
What you have is probably the latest firmware for T-Mob US; and either way it will work on the custom ROMs.

SD is a fine ROM. At least from what I've read. I've been exclusively a Sense guy on this phone!

I'm not big on suggesting favorite ROMs. Everyone has their own specific preferences, needs, etc.
I've used stock Developers Edition, LeeDroid, Skydragon Sense, and currently on SROM (just flashed it last Friday). But that isn't to say others, such as InsertCoin, Viper, Etc. are not every bit as good.
Thanks man appreciate the info
