What's the point of posting/spamming on many threads when you don't read what people replied to you.
See this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/ruu-stock-lollipop-t3034018
Already mentioned that you have wrong MID 0P6B65000
You should have 0P6B63000 for software version 2.11.708.2

You need to update your firmware to run Android 5.0 ROMs.

What error number(s)?
You need to run the RUU that matches your CID and MID. It sounds like you may have tried more than one (and possibly RUUs not meant for your CID,MID).
Also, since you are s-on, you need to relock the bootloader to RUU. This is done with fastboot, using the command: fastboot oem lock

You left out much of the important getvar data, while leaving in something you should never post online (IMEI) since its personal data. I've notified the mods to delete your IMEI.
I have deleted imei i got error that ruu cant read bootloader if i remember 199 error and what kind of information you need to help me find what software match for my htc ? By the way i was tryed with locked bootloader still same error

I don't know if there is an RUU for your CID. I'm guessing no.
If that is the case, you can try to return to stock 4.4.2 ROM (for your CID) and stock recovery, OTA update all the way up to Lollipop (which will update the firmware). Then you can run the current custom ROMs.

You can flash most 4.4.2 ROMs (stock or custom), and it will at least get the running again.
If you can find an RUU for your CID, it doesn't matter which build. It will re-image all software and firmware. The only restriction is that you cannot go backwards ("downgrade") with s-on. Otherwise, you can RUU to 4.4.3, 4.4.4 or 5.0. But the RUU must match your CID and MID.
The only way to change CID and MID is with s-off. S-off is by sunshine, and requires a device that can boot into OS.

Try changing you CID. Just connect your device to a computer and open ADB. Boot your phone into fastboot (it should say "Fastboot USB"). Then copy paste:
fastboot oem writeCID T-MOB010

It seems you are just running RUUs without much reason or methodology? Any saying "one" gave you an error without any info on which RUU doesn't tell us enough for us to help you properly.
The carrier name is usually indicated in the RUU file name, plus the build number is also indicated. For instance, it looks like ORANGB10 corresponds to software build numbers xx.xx.69 where the "69" is specific to your CID. Therefore, you want to be looking for an RUU with the build number xx.xx.69 in the filename, assuming such an RUU exists.
But honestly, I've searched around and don't seen any reference to an RUU for ORANGB10, so I'm inclined to believe you are looking for something that doesn't exist.

I've already given you 2 solutions that will work with s-on:
1) Flash a stock or custom ROM with Android 4.4.2 base, using TWRP. This will at least get the phone bootable again. The firmware will still be outdated, and you won't be able to run any current ROMs. But at least the phone will work.
2) Revert to the stock nandroid backup you made before flashing any ROMs, if you made one (and you really always should before flashing any ROMs on any Android device). From there, return to stock recovery, and you should be able to OTA update in order to update firmware.
Stock recovery files can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376&highlight=orangb10
Note that if the exact stock recovery for your main/build version is not available, the recovery for the same "base" should work (as noted in Post #3 of the above linked thread). Example, if your stock main version is 1.54.69, than any stock recovery corresponding to build 1.54.xx should work.
3) If you didn't make a nandroid backup, you can try to find the stock nandroid for your CID. You will want the stock nandroid that corresponds to your present main version, which you say is not listed (common TWRP bug) but based on your hboot number (3.16) your main version is proabably 1.xx
I don't see a stock nandroid posted for your CID on the following threads. So you may post to one of those threads, and see if someone can post a nandroid for you:

The goal here is to get back to the stock ROM (and the build number that corresponds to your firmware) and stock recovery, same as Method 2 above. Then OTA up to Lollipop in order to update firmware.
4) Get the phone running again, per Method 1 above. Then run sunshine to S-off. Once you have s-off you can "manually" update the firmware. It seems you want to avoid paying for sunshine. But if none of the above methods are satisfactory, this may be your last option.

You can start with 1.54.69.5 backup.
Then do multiple OTA 1.54.69.5 --> 1.70.69.2 --> 2.26.69.1 --> 3.33.69.1 --> 4.19.69.3
Don't have time to upload my TWRP backups but you can get a Philz recovery backup here (belongs to someone else) - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxUEBSB4XdsRa3RoS3JBVjVQREk/edit
Please note you need Philz recovery installed then restore the backup which already include a stock recovery in it. Restore (select all) then do OTA.

I currently have some type of developer edition firmware that doesnt let me update because it knows I have the wrong phone.
I have changed my CID to H3G_001 as this is what it should be as I am with Three (H3g) in the UK.
I understand an RUU would be best but there are none for my carrier.
What would you do in my situation?
PLease help - I just want my normal phone bac with software that can install updates
Try changing CID to 1111111 through fastboot (cmd - fastboot OEM writeCID 1111111) then fastboot flash a GPE RUU (you can find em through graffixnyc.com).

Your paste.bin doesn't show that you changed the CID back to H3G__001
After you change the CID back to H3G__001, you can restore H3G__001 stock ROM backup and its matching stock recovery then do update.
You need to restore 4.20.771.2 backup.
You can read post #1 on how-to, files available on post #3 and #4

The developer edition is a normal version - just minus the carrier additions. I would suggest altering your CID/MID to match the developer edition. You already know how to change the CID, so set that to BS_US002. Then change MID using this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708581.
At this point, you should be able to get OTA updates if you haven't modified the OS. If you have, re-run the developer edition RUU from HTC.
When you are done, you will have a bog-standard "normal" phone in every way - and you will get your updates a heck of a lot faster than you will with any carrier.
Hello to everyone!
I have HTC M8(second hand...) I check the IMEI and i see is from Australia - Sold to Singapore. I don't know if it means something.
It was unlocked bootloader and modified software(Custom ROM-android 6), S-OFF and CID was 11111111(I don't know what was the original CID, because this is how i bought the phone)
I decided to get it back to stock. I found a few threads about how to get the HTC M8 fully stock, but nothing works for now. l have the the stock recovery, stock boot.img and locked the bootloader.
When i installed/restored from the RUU file it was ok. When i check for updates it's downloading, but cannot install.
There is a message:
'Variant system version - We have determined that your phone may be running a modified version of its system software. For your protection, we cannot update your phone. Please revert your phone to the official HTC system software to update your phone. If you did not modify your system software or would like help reverting your system please contact us via the support section at HTC - Mobile Phones, Smartphones, Cell Phones, Tablets'
I'm sure i have official software, stock recovery and boot.img, but i have no idea why this message appears.
Right now i am using InsertCoin ROM and i have noticed the message, that tells "Software status: Modified or Official" Mine tells always OFFICIAL. No matter if i have installed insertcoin or stock rom.
Here is the infor from my bootloader:
***Software status: Official*** (Just to remind... I'm with insertcoin rom)
***UNLOCKED***
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF

None of that includes an actual stock ROM, which is required to OTA.

You're sure the RUU installed correctly, with no errors?
Did you try to update immediately after RUU, with not mods at all (unlocking the bootloader, root, custom ROM)?

Yes. I have no errors during the installing process and after that...
And yes... I try to update immediately after the phone boot to the home screen. I have no idea how to fix this. With my previous HTC M8 i was using the same custom rom(InsertCoin) and when i decidet to go back to stock, all i was doing is to lock the bootloader and install the RUU. Then i'm able to get the updates with no problems.

Yes, its strange. RUU by definition should put you on a fully stock image, and therefore allow OTA updates.
You can try to RUU straight to 6.12.401: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6

I was trying this a few times. It says there is not enough space or something. C
I'm still looking for solution. Any suggestion is welcome!
Are you still S-OFF? On the M9 one hast to change the CID from SuperCID (11111111) back to a WWE CID to take the update to MM, as HTC uses a new routine to check the state of the phone.
In your case you'd have to reboot to fastboot mode, open a command prompt and change the CID to HTC__001 (8 digits!!) by using the command "fastboot oem writecid HTC__001"

Yes, i'm still S-OFF.
Thanks! I will try it and i will let you know if it works.

Which RUU are you using? In case of an x.xx.401.x RUU it is indeed WWE. Thus the CID should be HTC__001 or HTC__102.
maybe you should tray to RUU with the later one and if it doesn't work go back to SuperCID.

4.16.401.10 Europe.
I can't use the latest RUU, because is only on ZIP file. When i try to install it with fastboot it says there is no space or something.
You could rename the RUU zip to 0P6BIMG.zip and copy it to the root direction of a - at max - 32GB microSD card that has been formatted to fat32.
Insert this SD into your M8 and reboot to bootloader. It will then recognize the RUU and start to flash it automatically.
After a full flash you got to take the SD Card out again, to prevent it to start again during the next reboot

Your problem is not the SuperCID 11111111 but wrong MID for the ROM that you installed.
To run a EU RUU x.xx.401.x, the MID must be 0P6B10000
You said your device is from Singapore, most probably the MID is 0P6B11000 and that's the reason for your "Variant System Version" error.
You can check your current MID by running command fastboot getvar mid
And for S-Off, there is no need to relock bootloader for OTA or running a RUU.

Didn't think about that. MID is 0P6B11000, as you said. I have changed it to 0P6B10000. I'll try later if i get the updates. Thanks a lot for the info!
Ok, when i changed MID the problem was solved! Now i get all the updates! Thanks a lot!
I followed instructions from this post:

Hey guys, I know there's a crazy amount of unrooting threads here and everywhere else on the internet, but the more I search the more confused I get. So here's my short situation and my few questions:
Got a T-mobile M8, rooted, S-On, Unlocked, Running S.ROM. I'm trying to do the Tmobile JUMP thing to get the new HTC 10, so I'm trying to unroot this as much as possible. I've found at least 7 different ways with different outcomes on how to do this, so here are my questions:
-I keep reading you can just flash the RUU with no other prerequisites and it'll take your phone back to stock (except for the "Relocked" status). Is this true?
-Follow up to previous question: has anyone had any experience with returning a Relocked phone to Tmobile for their JUMP plan? (Not warranty exchange, I feel they're more strict with that)
-Is the only way to change the Relocked status to Locked by going S-Off with Sunshine and doing all of the 8923479324 steps in order to erase all of the tampered flags?
-What is the BEST method with the BEST outcome to go back to full stock on the M8?
Thanks in advance!

The statement "no other prerequisites" is not specific enough. If you mean stock ROM and/or stock recovery (which folks sometimes think is needed to RUU), its true that neither are needed in order to RUU.
There are however some prerequisites:
1) PC required. Win7 and USB 2.0 for the best compatibility with RUU.
2) RUU needs to be intended for your version (CID and MID)
3) RUU version needs to be greater or equal to main version on the phone (this requirement is bypassed with s-off)
4) Relocked or locked bootloaded (this requirement also bypassed with s-off)

Correct.

T-Mob is not my carrier, and I know nothing of their Jump program. But in most cases, the best bet with returning a phone is to RUU to stock, and make the bootloader LOCKED. Return to s-on (after s-off) is probably not needed.
Thanks for the info! I guess I'll be getting sunshine then and try to follow all of these guides. So if I S-off with sunshine, as long as I check my CID and MID (I got the RUU from the HTC website, but I'll double check it anyways), I can flash that and return to stock. And afterwards I can find a guide on how to reset the tampered flags and the Locked status?

Yes, that is what I would suggest. Guide on how to make it LOCKED and remove TAMPERED:

How I went back to stock
I was rooted and running custom ROMS, but when MM came out I wanted to make sure that my firmware/radio was updated. So for me this is what I did
- first I am s-on
- When I unlocked the bootloader, just before I installed TWRP, I made a copy of the recovery. Also I backed up my stock ROM. Both I kept
So to restore:
- I re-installed via TWRP, the stock ROM, and made sure that I didn't root it
- I re-installed the stock recovery
- rebooted and phone saw the MM upgrade and proceeded to upgrade.
If you don't have the recovery/stock ROM you will need to remember what version of android you were on when you overwrote the recovery with TWRP. If your firmware + recovery + OS do not match the update won't work.

Awesome, got my phone S-Off. I tried installing the RUU from the HTC website but I got an error and it failed, saying something about I'm using the wrong RUU. This is my CID and MID:
MID: 0P6B13000
CID: T-MOB010
I used this link to get my RUU:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html#tmobile
Am I doing something wrong?

What error number? If 155 or 159, you can't RUU from LP to MM (this is a new requirement they added with MM). You either need to flash the 6.20.531.5 full stock firmware from here, then run the RUU again. Or run the T-Mobile LP RUU.
