Completely idiot, was trying to wipe my phone to troubleshoot Remote Play app problems, ended up wiping everything off the internal memory. I've been reading through lots of threads and I'm still unsure of what are the correct procedures to avoid a pretty brick on my desk. With that said...
TWRP works, phone is detected, I'm able to do adb and fastboot commands. Some info:
cidnum: HTC__622
version-main: 2.11.708.2
version-bootloader: 3.18.0.0000
Downloaded a stock nandroid backup (based on the info above), but I'm unable to copy it to my phone by mouting USB via TWRP, Windows says file is too large.
So, what would be the correct procedure? Can I install a GPE ROM or should I worry about getting Sense back to work first? Am I screwed?
Thanks.
Adb push it. Twrp needs to be in adb mode.
Other option. Get your backup, or even a rom on a micro SD if you can and install from it.
Htc one?
Try copying to UsbOtg and connect with device. Then just flash it from twrp

Copy it over to an sd card and insert that into your phone.
I have no backup and no external SD card at the moment.
Which file should I download to get started? When "AD Push", do I need a ZIP file? The one I've downloaded is a "stock nandroid backup", not sure if this is the correct file?

No, I would use a ROM zip, not a nandroid. Reason being, a nandroid has to be in the exact folder location in order for TWRP to see it and RESTORE from it. In contrast, a ROM zip can be anywhere on the internal memory (just pushing it to the root of the folder is easiest) and then you can select INSTALL in TWRP and browse anywhere on the memory or SD to flash a ROM zip.
Alternately, you can use adb sideload to flash a ROM zip.

adb commands should work with the phone in any mode, as long as its on. The exception is adb sideload, for which you need to be in TWRP and in sideload mode. So that may be what you are thinking of.

Since you are bootloader unlocked, you can flash whatever ROM you want, as long as it meets your requirements and preferences for features, language, etc.
If you are asking me what the difference between the stock ROM and custom ROMs are; there are too many custom ROMs (with a wide array of possible features) to even begin answering that question.
You won't get OTA updates on a custom ROM, but you lost that ability when you installed TWRP.
You need to read up before doing anything else... If you value your device. Lack of knowledge and confidence with this stuff is a recipe for disaster.

No, its not "dangerous". You might see some impact if the ROM's build.prop doesn't play well with the radio. Use a ROM that supports your version of the M8, to be safe.
You certainly won't be better off than you are now, which is a phone with no OS.
If you were that concerned about the stock ROM, you should have made a nandroid. You should do that before messing with anything in TWRP.

Not sure. As I mentioned, install a custom ROM that supports your version, to be safe.
I don't think you would lose LTE. Band compatibility is in the radio, not the ROM. But something in build.prop may cause some glitches or network performance may not be ideal.
I don't see a good reason to install a stock ROM that is not for your region.

Okay so here is my issue. I'm literally stuck! I have no computer to go back and lock my bootloader and I'm not s-off. I have no way, to my knowledge, to install the new firmware to play with the new stock roms. If anybody has any suggestion, that would be terrific!
Are you on stock rom? If yes you only need to flash stock recovery. Relocking bootloader is not needed

alright, here's an update. i went to my fiances house and used her mothers computer (worlds slowest internet, i think AOL is faster) and worlds oldest computer ... anyways... i locked my bootloader and flashed a stock recovery, i went back to my stock rom as well and checked the software update from AT&T (which said that I had an update before i did all this) but now when i check for an update it says that i'm currently up to date and when i check information from online and compare it to my information i can confirm that I am on 1.58 but i'm android 4.4.2 and VIPER calls for a stock firmware of 4.4.3 (i think) also i can't find anywhere online on information on what the current radio is of the newest update. i'm trying to make sure that everything that I have is current to date. I don't want to be outdated lol . anways , i'm trying to figure out how to run viper with the current firmware that they require. thank you for any help you can give me now
EDIT : i bought this phone about 3 months ago and i HAVENT made any updates since then. i rooted it as soon as i got it. so im not sure if i am up-to-date

Radio associated with software 1.58 (latest software before the new 2.23 now rolling out) is: 1.16.21331931.LA11G_20.31A.4145.02L
But in any case, the RUU for 2.23 is now available. So you can just run the "official" RUU: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-att/news/
Or the bootable version (no PC required) here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/general/att-2-23-502-3-bootable-ruu-pc-required-t2860486
Just relock the bootloader (since you are s-on) and run the RUU. It doesn't matter if anything on the device is not updated, as RUU contains the complete image. Just backup your personal data, as it will be wiped.

If he was rooted he could have restored the stock recovery without a PC pretty easily.
There used to be a command flash_image in the terminal emulator(Need to download binary for it I think). Don't know if it still works or not though
flash_image recovery /path-to-image/name_of_recovery.img
Even then there is always the "dd" command to use.
Download recovery file to phone, if it's zipped then uzip it and move the recovery.img file to /sdcard/ - Can use ES File explorer or Root explorer.
Open Terminal Emulator.
Type:
su - to get # if you don't have it.
cat /proc/emmc - this will dump all the partition info in the terminal, look for recovery. WWE should all be mmcblk0p43 , just make sure either way.
When you have the partition number for recovery go and type:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43 - that's it.
You just "flashed" back stock recovery. No PC required.
Hi. So I ran the FUU full wipe and then the no wipe FUU in order to update the firmware to install the latest version of ViperROM. However in the process I lost everything, and since I do not have a backup on the phone it will not allow me to install the new ROM. Can someone please direct me to the files I need with my new firmware 3.28.401.7 to get a backup that I can flash to my device via fastboot. I already tried downloading Nandroid backups and flashing those. However the files were not in .img format and I tried to see if I could use the Nandroid backup with TWRP and no dice. Any help that can be provided would be appreciated. In the meantime I will go back to using my POS Galaxy S4 until I can manage to get this fixed.

First of all, shame on you.
Every ROM and MOD thread tells you SPECIFICALLY to make a backup before you flash in their OP.
Now...
What backups were you trying to use? Did you try @Mr Hofs stock backups?
Try this link.
What was your cid and mid? There are a limited amount of RUU files around the forum. This may be an option for you as well

I do understand that making backups is necessary. However I didn't think about it for flashing new firmware, nor did the instructions mention doing that on the ViperRom site here http://venomroms.com/viperonem8_3-0-0-requirements/ I did try using those backups in the link. However I am not sure if they would work with my CID being 11111111. In any case none of the unziped files were in .img when I tried using fastboot and when I tried to flash them with TWRP nothing went through. If there is something I am missing here let me know. Generally I do ok installing ROMs or mods. For me things just tend to get a bit messy when firmware is involved.

All of the stock backups I have downloaded are in zip format. Can I simply change them over to .img and then from there adb sideload them? If there is something I am missing I would love it if someone could help walk me through this. I already changed the CID so I should be good there.
The nandroid backups are in zip format. You need to flash TWRP recovery, boot into recovery and choosing the "Install" option just flash the nandroid zip. Do NOT unzip the file.

You should understand that flashing hboot is one of the riskier forms of phone mods. If you did not understand that, you should not have been doing it in the first place.
Further, recovering from no ROM is a basic process. Again, if you don't know how to do that, you should have been flashing firmware, which is significantly more advanced than just recovering from a simple case of no ROM.
Just adb push a ROM zip to the phone, or use a USB card reader to put one on removable SD. Then flash ROM in recovery.

In short, yes. Just adb push a ROM to internal storage, or put one onto your removable SD using a computer and USB card reader. Then flash the ROM in TWRP.

You can flash a sense rom from TWRP. There are many stock based roms that have few optimizations.
Try Viper, ICE, Leedroid, Sky Dragon, Bad Boyz (might not have international support).
There are also a few stock rooted roms around. It's very easy to flash from recovery. Just make sure you are on the most current Firmware for your device.
If you are looking to go stock with no extras, THIS might be what you are looking for (also elaborates on the write protection issue you are having)
Ooops. I didn't realize your device was the M8s. I think it's kind of silly it's in the same forum, but oh well. Sorry for the confusion.

If you are looking to go stock with no extras, THIS might be what you are looking for (also elaborates on the write protection issue you are having)

You're in wrong device thread man ... all your suggested ROMs are meant for M8 only.
They won't work for his/this device.

ahhhhh. I see. Didn't realize this was the M8s they were talking about. I thought it was the M8 general. Thank you for pointing that out. I was wondering why it was so hard for them to find a stock ROM....
Found a fix guys. Will post here if someone has the same issue:
1. boot TWRP, try flashing recovery, get the error
2. go to mount in twrp and turn on mount system as read only, then try flash again
3. go back into mount, turn off mount system as read only, then tap system
4. start the restore, this fixed it for me

I just need to plug the phone and open the RUU file ? That's it
I won't need to relock the bootloader or anythinng ?

Oh wow yes sorry relock bootloader by fastboot oem lock. Also if you changed your cid should match the ruu you want to flash.

If you don't know how to revert back to stock HTC firmware, you have no business flashing custom ROMs. Plus....did you even google your inquiry? No.
Search the forums.

Did you unlock the bootloader yourself? If so, you know enough about fastboot to relock the bootloader.
Also, if you do fastboot getvar all, and post the result (delete IMEI and serial number) we can see the CID, and determine what RUU (if that CID has one).
Or the other option to go back to Sense Marshmallow, is to restore a stock TWRP backup as suggested. Here is another thread of such stock TWRP backups, and this one has better instructions:

EDIT: Fixed the link above, which was clearly not the right one (intended for a reply to a different thread).

While the post was not particularly polite (nor is he required to be so), I do agree with the main point: if you are flashing custom ROMs, you really should have researched how to return to stock. I see that a lot of folks skip this (you aren't the only one, by far), but I also don't see why they do. Would you take apart your car's engine without knowing how to put it back together? Probably not.
Along those basic lines (good rules of thumb for phone modding), if you had simply made your own backup of the stock ROM before flashing a custom ROM; you could simply just restore that backup in order to revert to stock. It's a basic good practice: never do any mods (root, custom ROM) without first making a TWRP backup.

Thank you and yes. I should have known better before flashing an RR ROM I didn't search for it because i thought it was simple
But are you saying that i can download another stock ROM TWRP backup and flash it and i'd good to go or i have to get the right RUU ?

Modding phones is not simple. You should research and understand everything properly, before you do any mods to any device. Maybe all the YouTube guides and one-click root apps make phone modding look easy, but it's really not a trivial thing.
Maybe it's just my own personality. But to me, it's basic logic that you shouldn't tinker with an electronic device that cost hundreds of dollars, without having some backup plans, knowing how to undo the mods, etc.

You can do either (restore stock TWRP backup vs. run RUU). That is, assuming your version M8 has an RUU, not all do (and you haven't given any info that would allow us to determine that).
I already said that restoring a stock TWRP backup was an option, and it was also suggested by another (Post #8 above). So I don't now what you asked that question. Obviously it's something you can do; otherwise why would we say it was?
Keep in mind that a stock TWRP backup is not exactly the same as a flashable ROM. You need to extract the files, save them to the proper place on the phone, then use the RESTORE option in TWRP (as opposed to INSTALL for flashable ROMs). The process (and required files) can be found on the following thread (I tried to give this link above, but linked it improperly - so here it is again):

That's good. You can even try different Sense ROMs, not necessarily going back to stock ROM. :angel:

I wish I could try Resurrection Remix too. but unfortunately I cant use all of Naugat ROMs
Why dont you also try some of the ROMs other then pure M8 ROM, e.g. M10 Sense ROM etc? I am running M10 ROM and its fantastic.
I always be with the positive and jolly vibes and encourage others to be like this
