I need to find a stock rom for the Google Play Edition version of the M8, but after searching for several hours, I found nothing. Currently, I'm running a buggy version of CyanogenMod 11. Nearly every post I find on Google or xda pertains to the Sense One M8, does anyone know where to find a rom or how to restore back to stock GPE?
Any help would be appreciated!
Lol is there such a thing as a stable CM rom?

Yeah, I've learned my lesson, don't do CM unless I'm out of manufacture updates lol.
So I do see the RUU file linked above, but is it possible to just flash a normal GPE rom in TWRP? I haven't s-off(ed) the phone and it'd be great if I could just reflash, just like most roms.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot! I really should have added this to the original post, but I'm hoping to get stock with a TWRP flash (which may not easily possible from the looks of it) so I can upgrade when Google blesses us with the Lollipop OTA update.

That GPE Conversion is very easy to do. Take your time read carefully and you'll be on your way to lollipop heaven. Its a lot easier than it looks,trust me.

I could try it this weekend. I'm just a bit reluctant because it seems like such an easy thing to get, yet there aren't any real GPE stock roms as far as I can see. Also I'm not too enthusiastic about paying for s-off. I know from testing a few months ago that firewater doesn't work on my device which just leaves Sunshine s-off for $25

I suppose so. Coming from the GS3 it seems pretty silly that there's no return from flashing a rom lol.
I'll hold out for doing the s-off + RUU and use another rom like sinless until we see if Lollipop gets sent out as a flashable update or full install zip (or, of course, if someone comes across a flashable stock image in the mean time). Thanks everyone for the help so far!
For anyone with the same problem, I've found the original One M8 images! GPE stock rom image can be found here: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
Make sure to choose the One M8 Google Play Edition under the devices dropdown, then you'll find the stock images below.
*Edit* These must be built from the source code.

I have a rooted / unlocked M8 with the stock AT&T ROM and just want to get the Google version on it (IE: no damn bloatware)
Is there an easy way to do that? I keep reading very confusing / conflicting posts.

just flash a gpe ROM first. there's a ruu to convert and a long road back to sense.( not that hard IMO ) but just try it out. there's a stock, and 2 very good modded ones.
Which one do you like the best?

Hey there!
I have an HTC One M8 the original one which came with the Sense rom, but I've fully converted it to a GPE M8.. and i changed the CID and the MID to the GPE's CID and MID.
Now i want to flash the stock kernel of the GPE, is it possible or it will hard brick my device?
thank you.

Sorry, yeah I misread your post.
If you converted using the RUU method then I think you should be ok but I'd wait for someone else to confirm.

Right, if you do the GPE conversion, the GPE ROM already includes the kernel. No need to install it separately. Probably wouldn't even boot if you weren't on the GPE kernel.

The whole GPE RUU zip file size is about 500 MB, but the kernel file size from htcdev website is 360 MB! So in don't think they are the same kernels.

That's kernel source code, not the kernel. By no means should you flash that to your phone. As mentioned, if you've done the conversion, you don't need to do anything more, the kernel is already installed.
Hello World,
I've seen the Google Play edition kernel source with android 5.0.1 is released. I've installed unofficial roms from XDA before, but I've never tried with one from HTCDev. The zip file looks diffrend so I just wanna ask how I flash it correct?
My phone is currently running the Android 5.0 rom from SkyDragon. But I believe the official version is better. S-Off, Bootloaded, TWRP.

Unless your phone is a GPE model, this won't work on your phone. If it did, all of the M8 ROMs would be running Lollipop by now.

You can go ahead and give it a shot. Converting to GPE does change all of your partition values, so it might work. I have a feeling I am mistaken. Go into fastboot with your phone hooked up and double click the "flash-all .bat" file in the factory image folder. And wait. A long time. That's the method for Nexus devices, I'm sure HTC's factory images aren't too much different this way. I've never tried to flash from HTC Dev img.

Stock Rom no (not Yet)
Stock nandroid Yes !! >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57296531&postcount=3194
I've looked through the Development forums and haven't found anything. I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something obvious.
There are a couple that "de-sense" the rom as aroma option.
But no true AOSP yet as I can see.
I haven't installed a ROM using Aroma before. That is pretty cool. I installed Venom de-sensed. I like it better than stock for sure, but the one thing I'm really looking for is a ROM with a stock Lollipop dialer/phone setup.
Any ideas?
Edit: I see the Redbulled ROM mentions the GPE dialer, but will it work on a Verizon phone?

Cool. I hadn't seen that yet. I'll give it a try. I was able to install the dialer by extracting it from my M7 running GPE, but as soon as I start the call it reverts back to the Sense phone app. I'll see if that works any better.

nothing will work on Verizon until you can unlock the bootloader. and so far as of this writing Sunshine won't unlock the Verizon M9
I'm S-Off via Javacard and unlocked.

Hey guys, I saw a thread a while back and I can't find it now but it was a method to get AOSP onto the VZW HTC 10. It involved adding some files into the radio or firmware or something along those lines. If anyone could point me to that thread or a tutorial on getting AOSP on my VZW 10 that would be awesome. Thanks!

S-off is needed if have a Verizon 10, it's the only way of flashing anything on it as Verizon disables bootloader unlocking by default on their devices.
But even sprint says have to be soff and do a firmware with no radio then u can use aosp I'm on sprint I just say that every aosp for spr and vzw need soff

This was fixed just a few days ago, see post #5 above. @tabp0le found a solution for the firmware problem affecting Sprint/Verizon users. S-off/modified firmware is no longer required. All ROMs built after April 28 should boot for all users thanks to https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/170030/
