If you mean custom ROMs based on the GPE firmwares, yes. There are anywhere from just simply rooted/stock GPE ROMs to fairly pimped out and customized/customizable GPE ROMs.
If, however, you mean fully converted... bootloader, modems, 100% stock recovery and able to receive OTA updates... no.

Full conversion like the htc one not possible?

I want to say someone successfully flashed the GPE stock recovery; but that was quite a while ago that I saw that posted. I don't remember how far along they were able to get as far as the actual conversion. I don't honestly understand the big deal of the whole thing other than just to be able to say you did it. Running the custom GPE ROMs is just as good; and if desired, one could perform an unroot and have the phone nearly identical to a 'fresh off the shelf' 9505g...
Recovery and system you can. Everything else (bootloader, modems, etc) will fail. Bootloaders on these phones do a check and reject anything not specifically meant for it model wise exceppt for recovery and system for somereason. I tried out of boredom to convert to an i9505 and didnt work out so well. I got the modems to flash tho which ended in absolutely no service.
That's no good..
I suppose Gpe Rom will have to do

I rooted my htc m8 that i got from taiwan and flashed a custom rom without taking a nandroid! Is there a way for me to go back to 100 percent stock?
I am still S-on, and i understand there are no ruu list yet for the m8, but i need to restore to stock.
Anybody knows a way how?

You can always try flashing Android Revolution which is an extremely optimized stock ROM.

I have installed HK and upgraded to latest 1.54.401.10 firmware (tmobile NL has not rolled it out for some reason).
Now, what else can I do with my new l33t status?
Other than the Hk mod and Viper audio software. I froze most of the bloatware. Unless you're gonna flash a rom. I'd leave just as is.
You can clear your tampered label. You can get rid of red writing splash screen. You can convert to any m8 variant. You can flash older firmware and radio. Change your cid. Lock and unlock bootloader. Etc.. almost brick proof.

No advantage to converting. Running a Rom is the same thing.

I just got this phone yesterday. I rooted with HTCDev and then I got S-Off with firewater and SuperCID. Ever since I installed Android Revolution 8.1 it reboots constantly. I have wiped cache, did a fresh install even tried to flash CM, but the reboots are still there. I am on 2.xxx.xxx framework and have TWRP recovery. Any help? I think it might be related to memory leaks, but I am not entirely sure.
Did you do a full wipe before install.

I always do. No matter the rom I am flashing or where I'm coming from. My OCD doesn't handle dirty flashing at all.
Have you tried to flash img file from your Rom via adb. Did you make a backup ?

Are you on Verizon ? I don't know much about HTC One M8 variants but it seems some complication there. Maybe a restore to Verizon ROM/firmware can help you.
Anyway .. here is the Verizon thread if needed : http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8
You mentioned that you installed ARHD 8.1 ROM ... which firmware that you installed ? I know you are not a noob but sometimes people confuse the different of a firmware and a ROM

I'm not entirely sure. I will keep this thread updated, if I have anymore random reboots. I figured just doing a clean install would be a good start to resolve the problem; it always is.
Just had my first reboot. I think it might be due to greenify. Does anyone have experience with this app and the HTC One M8
Greenify wont cause reboots. Are you running a custom kernel and undervolting by any chance?

Try to downgrade your firmware to 1.54.x.x...or if you stick with 2.x.x.x try ARHD 9.1 to see if it makes any difference
HTC One M8 International (Unlocked and S-Off) is not updating to 5.0.1. Please help.
Do you have the right stock recovery installed?
Did you modified the system files in any way?
Files like build.prop or platform.xml?
UniversalKID thanks for reply. I didn't make any modification in any file and how I know about the right stock recovery?

What do you mean not updating? Are you waiting for an OTA? Since you are S-Off, I'll assume you are running a custom ROM. It won't happen unless you are on stock.
But since you are S-Off, just update your firmware, and flash a Lolly ROM.
I want to use stock lolly ROM but through OTA downloaded 5.0.1 but at time of installation, I am not able to upgrade on lollipop.

Do not tell someone to S-ON when they're not 100% certain they're stock, plus you don't need to be S-ON to update.
OP, can you get a shot of the actual error you're seeing? Up to now you've not really described the error very well

Supposedly we'd have it by the end is the year. That's only 8 days from now.

That wasn't 6.0, that was a software update to prepare for the 6.0 update. That's the second one in the last few months.

Weird, I just put my phone back to the Tmo version from being converted to EU and the last OS update I got was 4.20.531.4 and then came the 3 little updates for preperation for Marshmallow. Nothing after that. Should that matter that I didn't get the Stagefright 4.20.531.5 update?

You're right, I should have paid closer attention before posting.
Assuming the update does come soon, and I get impatient, how would I go about returning to stock/unrooted in order to receive it OTA? (I'm stock, rooted, s-on)
Short story, you need to restore a non-root backup and the restore to stock recovery. The version of stock and the recovery need to match. Also I believe ( but could be wrong ) the version will match the hboot that you have. This is why before you root, you grab a copy of the ROM and recovery and save them.

What will happen if I simply update when it does roll out? I'm on stock rooted but never took a backup before root.

The update will fail. OTA the updates from T-mobile need to have you on the non-rooted, non-modified stock ROM with stock recovery installed that matches the version of the ROM.
That is why before I installed TWRP - copy the recovery and ROM and note the version in the filename. Also because I run stock more often than I run rooted, custom ROM, etc. I usually leave the stock recovery inplace and use the command 'fastboot boot twrp.img' command to boot into TWRP. This way I use TWRP but not have to restore my stock recovery when needed.

How do I revert back to the normal recovery? I installed the custom recovery to root the phone.
When the update rolls out I will need to unroot and reinstall the normal recovery?

Hopefully they are fixing any bugs that plague Android 6.0, if that's the case, they can take all the time they need to make it right.
@uoY_redruM, why don't you just convert your phone to who has MM? Or you can't?
