If it is a true developer edition, you might try backing up, running one of the Developer Edition RUU's to get back to 100% stock, and then see if you can get the OTA update. If this was a conversion, make sure the CID/MID are correct (which requires S-off).

If its truly the Dev Edition, on the stock ROM and stock recovery, you should get OTA.

lock the bootloader and flash then newest RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/ruu-m8-developer-edition-sense-1-54-t2884777
Then simply unlock the bootloader
flash TWRP recovery and SuperSU and a kernel if you need system r/w

Then why did you state in the thread title and OP "stock"?
InsertCoin is a custom ROM and not stock. So you need to return to a stock ROM to install OTA.

1540 is US Dev Edition, and the OP has Euro DE. The RUU likely will not run with incorrect CID, MID. And not sure this is the stock baseline he would want to be on.

yes i have twrp-2.8.1.0 installed. demo roms are those roms like in shops they have demo phones with playing demo videos again again in it. this rom is only supporting 2G. i used this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235 and copied the odexted zip to twrp. it runs successfully but after that phone is in same old condition. is it true that the odexted rom is not installing because im S_ON??
and tell me if i S_OFF will i get ota updates with the odexted rom? sunshine needs 25$. well havnt tried firewater on this demo rom. and bro the link u sent is not working.

Don't know where you obtained that info, but its false. S-off is not needed to install any ROMs.
If the phone is a demo unit, you should have stated that right away in your top post. On a previous HTC device (One X) I believe the demo unit was very difficult, if not impossible to make fully functioning. But no idea if the same is true for the M8 demo unit you have.

Sounds like you just got some random advice, with an unknown link and flashed it. Why on earth would you do such a thing? Stick to XDA, at least here you can go by reputation (number of thanks, Recongnized Contibutor, or Recognized Dev titles).

As I just said in my last response, you do not need S-off to flash any ROMs. If you want help, you need to start actually paying attention to the help that is being given to you. You are also making it very hard to help you, by not giving enough info, and just leaking it out little by little.
You say you can't flash any other ROMs, but that isn't enough information. What happens when you try to flash? Does it fail with an error message? Or flash successful, but doesn't boot? What other ROMs have you tried?
If you want to return to stock to receive OTAs, you will need to find and flash the appropriate nandroid and stock recovery for our CID. Stock backup collection can be found sticky at the top of the General section. There are also various guides on how to return to stock, if you need them just search.

I glad you got it working .. sorry about the dead link, i wish Mike would leave the old version on his site longer
Hello XDA forums. First off I would like to apologize if a thread or something like this already exists, but I already spent way too much time trying to unroot my friend's phone since his vibration motor stopped working. Basically all that I am looking for, is a rom that can be flashed on an ATT HTC One M8 with OS version: 3.11.1700.5 and HBOOT: 3.19. I tried flashing many Sense roms already, but they all don't work. What I think is that the rom's base firmware's second section after the initial number has to match the phone's OS version. An example of this would be with the Skydragon rom, where it is based on the 4.04.1700.4 firmware. But it still works even though it has a higher version number. So what it all comes down to, is that I need to find a rom that supports the x.1700 firmware line so I can flash it restore to stock (mostly at least) Also instructions for returning to complete stock while S-ON would be helpful. Last the stock rom would be the most preffered, since then I can use the stock recovery and relock the bootloader.

Skydragon isn't Sense, it's AOSP.
Try ViperOneM8 3.2.1.
Download link here.

Or if you want to go back to stock, there are stock ROM/recovery threads here, or you could run the latest RUU from HTC's website.

Yes, you are right. Sorry. I'm trying to communicate through hangouts, and helping a few people here.
The RUU is your best/only option to convert back to Sense. The instructions are in the link I provided, and the download is at the bottom of the page. Make sure to back up anything important, because this will wipe the phone.
I tried out the RUU, but it failed saying that it is incompatible with this phone. I did download the appropriate version for the phone (AT&T) but still it failed. This was also from the official HTC website. This is why I think I have to download a version that has an x.x.1700 in its version number. A Skydragon rom that is based on 4.04.1700 works on the phone, even though the phone has version 3.28.1700 so I think that any rom that is based on the x.x.1700 line will work. I did try out some other Sense roms, but they failed since they were based on a different firmware (x.x.502).

So, do you have Dev Ed phone, or did you convert it?
There are no Dev Ed RUUs that I know of.
Would I be correct in assuming that you changed you CID/MID? And would I also be correct in assuming you are S-Off?
---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------
By re-reading the thread, if no conversion took place, you need to flash the stock Dev Ed ROM and recovery to allow for HTCs OTA updates.
The phone is not S-OFF, it is merely bootloader unlocked and is bought from ATT, so it is the ATT version of the phone with the appropriate AT&T branding. The phone was never S-OFF'ed and has no capabilities to do so, since it came out of the box with a patched firmware. And we are not going to pay 20$ for Sunshine, not because we think that it is a rip-off but it is quite hard to convince parents to spend money on phone that they do not know is rooted. I imagine that my friend's dad would be greatly agitated if he found out about him having rooted his phone.
Personal note:
I do not think that sunshine is a rip-off, as I understand that trying to crack the most basic level of a security on a phone is really quite hard and there are a lot of expenses involved.

I'm not suggesting you get s-off, I'm asking if you are.
Your phone is a Dev Ed model. You will need a stock Dev Ed ROM and recovery to update via OTA.
Go here, and search for both. They are available in that thread.
Yeah, the developer RUU didn't work either. I looked at that page but I can't find any roms or RUU's with the x.1700 firmware. I have tried multiple times to restore from a Nandroid backup that had the same CID as me but different firmware version but it always failed.
Sorry if that came out as aggressive before.

Hello
My htc one m8 is the Asian version (HTC__044) , upon using getvar all, I noticed that my version-main was missing along with the os in hboot. If I were to flash a firmware, would I need to relock the bootloader? Would I lose my data on locking the bootloader? Also, im on base .401 , would I directly be able to flash a .707?
Thanks in advance.

If s-on, yes. Otherwise if s-off, no.
Also, be aware that with s-on you can only flash a firmware that is HTC signed/encrypted. Some are not, and require s-off.

How are you determining 401? From what I'm seeing, the stock software/firmware for your CID should be 707.
You should be able to flash 707 firmware (assume you want to update to Lollipop) on your version, provided the previously mentioned requirements are met.

Thanks for replying. I believe it may have been the rom ive installed that changed my firmware, along with the fact it writes .401 on my software information page. Yes the default firmware should be .707 which I believe is also the main cause of my inability to connect to 4g in my area.
So assuming I find a signed firmware for .707 I would simply be able to flash it on the .401? Or would I have to still relock my bootloader.
Also, would the empty os/ version-main be a problem and if so how do I fix it.

Flashing a ROM will not change your firmware. It does change software number, so if that is where you are getting 401 from, that is normal. Software number is just the base of your current ROM, not your firmware number.
Your firmware number is indicated on your bootloader screen under "OS" and also as "main version" when doing getvar all.

Are you s-on or s-off?
If still s-on, there is no way you could have ever flashed a 401 firmware on your phone. I still think you are confused between software and firmware numbers, and I don't guess that you ever flashed a 401 firmware.
If you are s-on, I still think you are on 707 firmware, and there is some other factor causing your 4G problem.
Yes, you need to relock your bootloader to flash 707 firmware while s-on. If you are s-off, you don't need to relock the bootloader.

It shouldn't be a problem. It will be fixed if you flash a firmware.
This bug was caused by older versions of TWRP. If you flash a current version of TWRP after flashing firmware, the problem should not re-occur.

We always like repeat customers, and satisfied ones.
So is it possible that I am actually on 707 but my rom is making it show 401? Im terribly sorry for my lack of understanding of this whole situation.
Would using the twrp app on the play store update twrp? It should fix the empty main-version ?

I know in the past, folks have often used the word "firmware" to mean the same as the ROM. But you should probably erase that notion from your mind. On this device, the word "firmware" is used specifically to partitions that are not flashed when you flash a ROM, and include hboot, radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, and others.
Yes, your firmware may still be 707 (which can normally be found as OS number on hboot screen, or main version when doing getvar all); while your software (ROM) which is shown in Settings>About>Software information can be 401. Firmware and ROM are 2 completely different things.
I've asked twice now, are you s-on or s-off?
wasdapple said:

TWRP Manager app will update TWRP, yes.
You can also just download the latest version and flash with fastboot, which is my preferred method: https://twrp.me/devices/htconem8gsm.html
However, this alone won't fix the issue of main version missing, I don't believe. It will only stop if from re-occurring. But the only way to get the main version back is to flash a firmware. After that, having an updated TWRP will stop if from main version displaying "blank" again. If you use an old TWRP, it will blank out the main version again.
Get it?
I'm sorry I kept forgetting to reply to that, I am actually s-on.
So for instance I want to be back on 707 I should just revert to rooted stock?

Than its simply impossible for you to ever have flashed a 401 firmware. Some of the firmware partitions (hboot, radio) are write protected with s-on, and can only be flashed with your CID version firmware (707).

Yes, rooted or unrooted should be fine.
But you will want to make sure your firmware and software versions match up. What are your hboot and radio numbers? Do you remember if you were on Lollipop before unlocking the bootloader?
My hboot would be 3.19.0.0000 and my radio is 1.25.21331147A1.06G
Yep I was on lollipop before unlocking my bootloader.

Not sure what you mean by "get back my 707", and you need to explain more clearly.
If the intent is to return to 707 firmware, its not needed, I'm confidant you already are on current 707 firmware. And flashing a ROM does not change your firmware (as I've already explained multiple times).
If the intent is to make the main version appear again, flashing a ROM won't do that either. As mentioned, you can only make that reappear by flashing a firmware.zip (not a ROM.zip).
If the intent is to just return to a 707 ROM base, then yes the ROM you linked will do that. But the only reason I see for you to do so, is to see if it helps your network issue. Using ROMs of other bases will not normally affect network service (as long as your carrier's APN is correct). And I've already linked you to stock 707 nandroid, which is probably the best baseline to troubleshoot from. Or are you not comfortable with the nandroid restore process?
Again, you haven't really explained what you are trying to accompish; so its hard to answer the question.

If the ROM is a similar enough base, it might be possible to dirty flash. But its not recommended, and still possible to have various severe bugs, or not even boot. Therefore, full wipe is normally recommended when moving between different ROMs (and often even major updates of the "same" ROM).
Any person flashing ROMs should know how to backup and restore their personal data (using Titanium Backup and/or other means) when moving between ROMs.
Sorry for my vagueness in my previous post. Currently in my phone settings, the build number is 4.26.401. , which is the base of my current rom? So supposedly if I flash an Asian wwe would I get my software base back to a 707 as in the link.
Also, you mentioned for me to flash my firmware as per my cid, which could be found in most firmware dumps? Would be it be possible to link one to me? And if I am in fact on a 707, do I still flash 707 firmware?
The reason why I an unwilling to go through with nandroid is that I am not exactly looking to restore to stock, I like to have customs roms and the root capabilities. My ultimate objective is to get back to 707, or at least get it to appear on my software information screen. To my knowledge, 401 is for the European countries and the basebands for 4g LTE is different, thus I am unable to find out why if I am s-on with my firmware and radio intact I could not connect to my local 4g LTE, and to my point of view, only through flashing a firmware affect everything.
Im sorry for this large amount questions and extremely grateful you have taken the time to tend to it. I sincerely apologise if I seem to keep insisting that my firmware has changed despite your reminders.
I've actually been trying to update the firmware on my M8 today as well, but when I go to "flashboot flash zip firmware.zip" I am returned the message "not enough space."
I've cleared the cache successfully, and that didn't open up enough space. I tried to delete userdata, but it wouldn't let me do it remotely.
So I'm a little confused as to my next move here...
and I've relocked my phone and s-on.

My ultimate objective is to get back to 707, or at least get it to appear on my software information screen. To my knowledge, 401 is for the European countries and the basebands for 4g LTE is different, thus I am unable to find out why if I am s-on with my firmware and radio intact I could not connect to my local 4g LTE, and to my point of view, only through flashing a firmware affect everything.
Im sorry for this large amount questions and extremely grateful you have taken the time to tend to it. I sincerely apologise if I seem to keep insisting that my firmware has changed despite your reminders.

Yes. You will get your software number back if you flash a 707 based ROM, such as stock.
So, here we go.
Download this 4.19.707.2 RUU onto your PC
When the download is finished, plug your phone into your PC, double click on the downloaded file, and follow the prompts. This will update you to Lollipop and you will be on the stock ROM again.
Since you are S-On, you will first need to relock the bootloader.
In fastboot (obviously) fastboot oem lock before you proceed with this.
Also, THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE, so be sure to backup anything that is important to you.
Is the ruu rooted, or purely stock pre-root?

I've actually been trying to update the firmware on my M8 today as well, but when I go to "flashboot flash zip firmware.zip" I am returned the message "not enough space."
I've cleared the cache successfully, and that didn't open up enough space. I tried to delete userdata, but it wouldn't let me do it remotely.
So I'm a little confused as to my next move here...
and I've relocked my phone and s-on.

What is your current OS number on the bootloader screen, and what firmware are you trying to flash?

Sorry for my vagueness in my previous post. Currently in my phone settings, the build number is 4.26.401. , which is the base of my current rom? So supposedly if I flash an Asian wwe would I get my software base back to a 707 as in the link.

If the intent it to return to 707 based ROM to see if that helps your 4G issue, then yes the custom ROM you previously posted will do that. It will also make 707 appear for software number in the phone Settings.

I was more talking "if" you can find the 4.16.707 firmware. The main firmware collection I refer to doesn't have 4.16.707, just old 707 firmwares (which you don't want)]: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282
If the firmware can't be found, the RUU listed by xunxholyx is your best bet if you really want to flash the 707 firmware. But I really don't think this is needed. As I'm nearly 100% sure you are already on the current 707 firmware, and the only benefit of flashing the 707 firmware (by RUU) is to get the OS number to appear again on the bootloader screen and on getvar all (which is really not that important).
On the other hand, RUU to full stock may be a good way to troubleshoot your 4G issue, especially if flashing the 707 based custom ROM still doesn't fix the issue. RUU is not just a stock ROM, but a complete factory image, complete with bootloader, radio, etc.

It appears to be 100% official and stock (unrooted). It will also wipe your phone.

Yeah, they are hard to come by. I was helping a user here six to eight weeks ago, and told him I didn't know of any Asia RUUs. He came back the next day replying that he found one, so I asked for the link and gave it to Sneakyghost and Alex (from AFH) to upload to androidruu.com
They have a few that aren't common there, and are always looking for more hard to find ones. If you come across one, you could PM me or Sneakyghost to have it added. Always nice to have a good RUU repository to go to.
Hey everyone. I'm having a similar issue, and I don't want to start a new thread, so I'm going to add on to this one.
I've been on AOKP since it was released for this phone, so I've missed out on some OTA updates. Every time I try to flash a Lollipop ROM I get all these weird issues (WiFi not working, systemUI crashes, etc.), and after reading a few threads, I believe its an issue with the firmware.
I tried going back to stock, but the only Nandroid backup I could find for my phone isn't compatible with my firmware (WiFi refuses to work, only data). So I was wondering what else I could do to update the firmware. Reading this thread, it looks like the RUU is another method, but I'm not too sure how to get started with that, or which one to use, as my OS in the Bootloader and my version-main is blank.
Any advice is appreciated, please let me know if you need more info.
My Device:
Rooted
TWRP 2.8.7.0
S-Off
CID-TELUS001

What are your hboot and radio numbers?
I attempted to install lollipop OTA update on my rooted, unlocked, S-ON M8 yesterday but it wouldn't install because I had TWRP recovery enabled. Basically now I've formatted the whole thing and I can't find a stock recovery ROM for it anywhere, as it's not Verizon or Sprint etc. It's CID is H3G__001 and it is registered on contract to Three UK.
I have tried flashing many things with no success. Please help.
Try looking in this thread.
You will find a stock H3G ROM backup there, the stock recovery you need, and instructions on how to install them.
search for firmware 4.25.771.6 or 4.20.771.2 and you'll be on the right track.
x.x.771.x is always H3G__001.
I'm assuming this will be enough for you since not even I am unable to find the marshmallow firmware for H3G anywhere.
Wish you the best of luck.

No, searching for firmware won't help him, because he is S-On.
He has the OTA already downloaded, so going back to stock with the instructions and downloads provided in the link I posted is his best option.
And if "not even you" can find firmware for H3G, then this is the only option for updating to Marshmallow, short of going S-Off and flashing WWE/International firmware.
Also, in the title of the thread, going back to stock is what he requested.

Well, yeh. But ideally, depending on what his firmware is, he could just flash a nandroid of 4.25 and flash the corresponding custom recovery. Which is basically like going back to stock, but skipping loads of OTAs. Which is what I did.
Never the less, I didn't tell him to flash the firmware (although it is possible even with S-ON apparently), but I said that if he searched for that he would be on the right track.
Then almost anything he would have found could have helped him...a nandroid backup, or an RUU or even better advice than the one I'm able to give. (e.g. the ones I found while searching for the firmware myself)
The point is, I was simply giving directions
hi everybody
my phone was on stock marshmallow 1.95.401.4
then i flashed this rom on my phone from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/wwe-htc-10-stock-rom-ruu-2-28-401-9-t3525075
this rom its perfect and have no bugs but some says this rom cant get ota updates,
how can i downgrade to stock 1.95.401.4? where i can download stock 1.95.401.4 rom?
my phone its unlocked eu , s-on
I will be very grateful if someone help me on this. coz its my first experience with htc. i afraid to broke my phone so i did not try any way for getting back to stock 1.95.401.4
First of all, you can't downgrade if you are S-On.
Second of all, this is a signed RUU (otherwise you couldn't run it being S-On) so you should still be able to get OTAs
Third of all, if you could update without OTAs to this, why bother going back? Just update the same way next time.

Looks like you are stuck for now. You need to wait for the WWE to release N and hope someone can post a RUU for it.
Otherwise, if you really want to go back, you could make it S-OFF with the Sunshine App (25$), then you can downgrade your firmware. You can find various firmwares, and instructions on how to flash them here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/2016-05-27-fastboot-flashing-firmware-t3387520
But if I were you, I wouldn't bother.
