Quite sure you can, just find the VZW 4.4.3 firmware and flash it then flash a 4.4.3 ROM. Or if there is a 4.4.3 RUU you could do that as it'll flash everything including firmware, ROM, etc.
You need to be S-OFF to flash firmware or do an RUU though.

I'm not S-OFF, is there any way to do it, or do I just have to wait until I can get S-OFF on 4.4.4?

If you took the official 4.4.4 update you will have to wait for S-off , m sure Sunshine devs will create an exploit

If I'm right you probably don't even have an unlocked boot loader correct me if I'm wrong

I'd like to know this as well, but for a Rogers Canada HTC One M8. I can't find a clear answer with step by steps on how to do this.

Its not clear what you or the OP are asking exactly. If the intent is to "downgrade" to run firewater, then NO you can't do it.
If already s-off, just flash the desired firmware by fastboot and restore a stock nandroid.

Not looking to run firewater. Just want to go back to 4.4.3. Running the stock rom, got the OTA 4.4.4 last week and don't like it.

That's what I wanted to know, thanks

This kinda sucks. Broke my original M8 and the replacement came with 4.4.4 on it so I'm stuck with a stock HTC phone. I want my GPE 5.0 ROM back! Stupid Verizon.

No wifi after installing staock ROM

So i just returned to a stock ROM on my HTC One M8 and it won't let me turn on the wifi.

This is getting asked multiple times a day now.
You need to update your firmware.

go to your bootloader menu and figure out if that the firmware build number is the the same in the about phone in the setting menu
It happened to me too because I used more recent nandroid without updating my phone

3.28.401.7 is pretty new. It should work with 4.4.4. Strange issue IMO.

You cannot run a 4.4.4 rom. And without being s-off you cannot update your firmware... Yes you may have flashed a stock rom but not the stock rom you were on previously. You will ONLY be able to flash a rom with it looks like 4.4.2 or maybe 4.4.3.

Hint :
Fastboot getvar all
That says it all in a blink of an eye

Can someone please tell me like I'm a total idiot on how to fix this issue? I just put on a stock 4.4.4 with Telus cause it was the only nandroid available for Telus and I locked the bootloader again and made it S-ON. How do I fix my wifi now? I have to somehow unlock the bootloader again, get S-OFF and use a stock 4.4.3? THEN do a software update to 4.4.4?

The second link is the exact link I was following. The only nandroid for Telus is already 4.4.4 so that doesn't help me. I've unlocked my bootloader again and about to gain root so I guess I'll just flash a custom ROM again but I'd love if someone could actually tell me exactly what I'm missing here? If their isn't a stock Telus 4.4.3 I can't return to stock right?

Get S-OFF again and flash the firmware manually. Don't know why you went S-ON and locked in the first place. There is no reason to go back S-ON(Unless you're gonna exchange then it's a small maybe) and when it's S-OFF there is no reason to lock the bootloader.

I was following a tutorial on The Unlockr and he said to go back to S-ON so I listened. I'll definitely make sure to stay S-OFF from now on though so thank you! So how do I manually flash the firmware? I can't find a stock 4.4.3 on Telus anywhere...
EDIT: I'm now S-OFF again and I'm ready to go but I cannot find where to grab 4.4.3 stock with Telus. Would flashing a custom ROM that is on 4.4.3 fix my wifi too? I'm really confused by this whole thing like is Cyanogenmod 11 using 4.4.3 or is it it's own entity or?

Another guide
Just flash the firmware for the latest 4.4.4 ROM that you have on there.
Grab the OTA file for Telus from OTA ZIP COLLECTION extract the OTA.zip to get the firmware.zip file inside it.

He updated the software, not the firmware.
He subsequently verified this by saying he restored a stock nandroid. But I was pretty sure of that already.

Neither of those will tell you the firmware number. You need to look at hboot and radio to know for sure.

I'm not sure. If you go to Settings>About>Software information you can check the software number.
The Dev edition is going to be 1.32.617.6 or 1.32.617.30. If the numbers match, then it would be fine.

Error 155 is usually a firmware or HTC signigature issue.. just flash the old lp firmware and run the ruu. Gotta downgrade firmware before the ruu will match the signatures.

Now trying to flash lollipop, hope it will work!

It worked.. thanks for the help.

Can someone explain step by step of downgrading please.I have Sprin HTC One 8 . I hate marshmallow , my phone battery is drained after couple hours, it's warming up, I lost my contacts, contacts don't want to sync from FB etc. How I can downgrade back to previous software. Thank you.

I want to down grade because the phone is horribly slow since upgrading to 6.

Cool. So what is the question?
There is some info on the thread about how to downgrade. But to be any more specific, you need to give some info about your phone (fastboot getvar all, and post the results - delete your IMEI and serial number before posting).

Frustrating
This is very frustrating, I can not downgrade due to the firmware issue. Where can I get an older firmware for
a developer phone, s-off and bs_us001?
tpteam6, how did you find yours? I search, but found nothing. Some twrp nand backup stuff.

Green line in video?

I've been having this issue for a couple of months now, tried changing roms with no luck, I am currently using the ViperROM latest version, when I input video either on instagram or facebook or snapchat, I get this weird green lines at the beginning of any of them. Weird part is that at the beginning I though it was the phone but then I noticed that it doesn't do it when I use my camera application.
https://pasteboard.co/GImTnWE.jpg
has anybody seen this before? Any fix? thank you

I currently have that issue on any rom I flash as well.

If you are on a old marshmallow firmware then update to the newer nougat firmware and try again. If i recall correctly the issue comes from that combination.

I have that as well. Running ViperOS's Nougat on a Marshmallow OS. Sucks that I can't update because my phone is from Hong Kong and there's no RUU available.

You can't downgrade with sunshine, you can s-off the device with sunshine and with that you open up the ability to downgrade the device to a lower firmware and/or software version. Please get and learn as much info you can before you start!

Flash the firmware that fits your OS line in the download mode. Look for a 2.41 firmware and flash it like any other firmware. Those guides are plenty described here. Look in the guides section too

So you want to downgrade to nougat, when you do that you also need to downgrade your rom to a nougat OS.
Oreo roms on Oreo firmware
Nougat roms on Nougat firmware
So if you are on Oreo and running viper oreo the rom will stay when you downgrade the firmware only but the rom doesn't work anymore. So i don't quite understand why you want to downgrade when want to use Viper oreo ?

I'm currently running Marshmallow firmware with the latest LeeDroid nougat ROM.
1. I did some research and for some reason my CID doesn't show up in download mode. I ran some command in a terminal emulator and my CID turned out to be HTC__060.
2. I found this thread but the RUUs seem to just be numbers. How do I know which RUU number is the latest nougat firmware?
3. If I flash the firmware.zip through fastboot without S-OFF (phone still S-ON), will it factory reset and wipe all my data?
Thanks a bunch in advance
