Hey there!
I have an HTC One M8 the original one which came with the Sense rom, but I've fully converted it to a GPE M8.. and i changed the CID and the MID to the GPE's CID and MID.
Now i want to flash the stock kernel of the GPE, is it possible or it will hard brick my device?
thank you.

You will need to do a full conversion back to sense.
There is a guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733523

Sorry, yeah I misread your post.
If you converted using the RUU method then I think you should be ok but I'd wait for someone else to confirm.

If you fully converted it to GPE, you'd have the GPE kernel... What am I missing?

Right, if you do the GPE conversion, the GPE ROM already includes the kernel. No need to install it separately. Probably wouldn't even boot if you weren't on the GPE kernel.

The whole GPE RUU zip file size is about 500 MB, but the kernel file size from htcdev website is 360 MB! So in don't think they are the same kernels.

That's kernel source code, not the kernel. By no means should you flash that to your phone. As mentioned, if you've done the conversion, you don't need to do anything more, the kernel is already installed.

I have a rooted / unlocked M8 with the stock AT&T ROM and just want to get the Google version on it (IE: no damn bloatware)
Is there an easy way to do that? I keep reading very confusing / conflicting posts.

just flash a gpe ROM first. there's a ruu to convert and a long road back to sense.( not that hard IMO ) but just try it out. there's a stock, and 2 very good modded ones.
Which one do you like the best?

I did the conversion. I use gravitybox and other stuff for mods. I like my phone to be original, but pretty much stock. can't really compare roms against forum rules.

Is there any other benefit to doing a full gpe conversion other than receiving OTAs?

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!

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.

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.

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.
Hello World,
I've seen the Google Play edition kernel source with android 5.0.1 is released. I've installed unofficial roms from XDA before, but I've never tried with one from HTCDev. The zip file looks diffrend so I just wanna ask how I flash it correct?
My phone is currently running the Android 5.0 rom from SkyDragon. But I believe the official version is better. S-Off, Bootloaded, TWRP.

Unless your phone is a GPE model, this won't work on your phone. If it did, all of the M8 ROMs would be running Lollipop by now.

Well.. it didn't come as a GPE model. But I have Android L running good atm. So whats blocking me from using the official? Are there any hardware differences from the Normal and GPE?

You can go ahead and give it a shot. Converting to GPE does change all of your partition values, so it might work. I have a feeling I am mistaken. Go into fastboot with your phone hooked up and double click the "flash-all .bat" file in the factory image folder. And wait. A long time. That's the method for Nexus devices, I'm sure HTC's factory images aren't too much different this way. I've never tried to flash from HTC Dev img.

You would have to convert back with a Sense RUU, I believe.

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.

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
