Hi Guys, need some help, i am kind of new to this stuff, i unlocked my m8 bootloader and then rooted and then install 4.4.3 GPE edition ROM from graffixnyc, now it works fine, interestingly it downloaded a system updated of 4.4.4 but when i click on install and reboot, it reboots in twrp and then nothing happens, any ideas how can i update.
I am s-on.
Also when i install 4.4.4 GPE Rom, it keeps restarting my phone so i reverted back to 4.4.3.
You need to have stock gpe recovery

We can assume your S-OFF cause you've stated trying to go back to Dev edition .
I would ruu the same GPE ruu you used or a newer one just to get back up and running.my opinion about the Dev edition lollipop is it's still no better than GPE lollipop if that's what you wish to return to Sense over.

Are you using the external sdcard method "0P6BIMG.zip"
I was running 4.4.4 kitkat on my htc one m8 with a cid no. of HTC__038 and the software no. - 3.35.720.1, s-on and booloader unlocked. I flashed TWRP recovery and rooted it then I unrooted it and installed stock recovery back again but it is still showing a modified tag in bootloader screen and I am unable to install lollipop on my phone as it gets stuck while installing in the installing screen. I used Hasoon2000's toolkit for this. Now, what should I do? Please help!

I know my opinion is not the most popular, but as long as 4.4.4 KitKat runs fine, I don't see a point of installing Lollipop at this time. When Sense 7 and Lollipop 5.1 will arrive, then hopefully it will be worth it.

But I'm not able to install the updates even when the sense 7 arrives still I'll not be able to install the update.
I have an AT&T HTC One M8. It was already rooted when it bought it. Running stock 4.4.2
I have installed the most current version of TWRP. I created a successful backup.
I am trying to install the ROM for skydragon 5.5 but it just gets stuck on the startup screen (white android screen)
I am S-on.
I flashed (via fastboot) the boot.img from the Skydragon 5.5 Rom.
I installed Skydragon 5.5 Rom from the TWRP install screen.
(note - these are the instructions from skydragon website and it states I do not need S-off as long as I flash the boot image)
When I reboot it just hangs on the startup screen (white android screen)
I can recover to get back to a working phone but I would really like to upgrade to skydragon. I have been having constant problems with bluetooth headsets on the stock 4.4.2 and am hoping the newer skydragon ROM and boot.img would resolve the poor bluetooth sound quality issues.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
You probably need to update your firmware/hboot.

As mentioned, you need to update your firmware.
Current ROMs won't run properly (extreme long boot times, broken WiFi) on old firmware (hboot, radio, etc.).
Plus, the current TWRP will not flash ROMs properly on the old hboot.
I dont fully understand why but I lost my backup during my installation of the new skydragon ROM. The backups were on the SD card.......and then they vanished.
I did manage to barely avoid bricking my phone. I re-locked my phone, installed the HTC RUU for lollipop and got my phone back to working. I had been trying to use sunshine S-off tool so that I could upgrade the firmware but I couldnt get my phone to boot up to perform the S-off installation process.
I still want to install skydragon. These are the steps I think I need to take.
1. unlock/root my HTC M8
2. Install TWRP
3. Backup my phone
4. install the new Skydragon Lollipop ROM
* note - I assume that I dont need S-OFF since my firmware should have already been upgraded when I installed the HTC Lollipop RUU.
If my phone is S-off will the skydragon lollipop ROM installation automatically install the firmware? Or is that a separate installation?
1: You lost all because you ran a RUU !
2: A custom rom NEVER changes the firmware

To confirm whether the firmware was updated or not; what does it say on the hboot screen for hboot number, radio baseband, and OS number?

Flashing a ROM never updates your firmware. The firmware partitions (hboot, radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) are not included in a ROM zip.
Firmware flash is done as a separate action, usually via fastboot.
Actually I lost my backup before I installed the RUU......otherwise I would have reverted to my previous kitkat installation rather than installing the RUU and losing all my data. I know the RUU basically reimages all the memory.
I was using sideload to install the skydragon ROM. I suspect I did something wrong during one my fastboot flash commands or the adb sideload commands.

You need the stock (never rooted) ROM and stock recovery to OTA update.
Did you covert to GPE with s-off and RUU, or was it GPE from the factory?
I'm a little uncertain what to do next. I updated to latest Oreo from stock firmware on US GSM unlocked, then unlocked the bootloader and installed the latest TWRP. Then I flashed LeeDroid but that wasn't working out too well. So I wanted to try Maximus but I need S-Off and the latest firmware, so I just wiped Data and wanted to start over.
What would be the best way to start over with TWRP? Stock ROM and all?

Just flash the Maximus rom from twrp. The Maximus thread says you need 3.16 firmware or higher, which you have if you were on stock Oreo.
Thanks!
