Need Help! Flash Amnesia!!! - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I have an att m8 that and am running sinless rom gpe 4.4.4 and wish to get back to a gpe edition rom, with s-off. Aside from unlocking the bootloader and rooting, I'm not sure how I got here, and I deleted my nandroid backup when I came from sense 4.4.2. Total noob status here.
My goals are to get it back to gpe, with s-off so I can sim unlock the phone as well, in case I sell it for use on tmobile. Even getting back to sense, s-off, and sim unlocked would be great. I'm needing to do it fast, as I may need to trade the device to a tmobile user.
When I converted, I believe I skipped the s-off step, and cannot get it to work with firewater. I'm stuck at which step to take next? I've heard that s-off cant be achieved on certain phones with firewater, however I'm wondering if me skipping a step could be the reason, or that its simply my software/phone version. I dont know if I flashed something that achieved s-off without me knowing, or that it's a regional variant, etc etc.
Here are the details:
Tampered

M8_UL_CA PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.16.0.0000
RADIO- 1.16.21331931.LA11G

4.4.4
Baseband Version
1.16.21331931.LA11G_20.31A.4145.02L
Kernel version
3.4.0-SinlessKernel-v2.5.7+
SinlessROM #27
Build number
SinLessROM GPe v3.6.2
FYI, I'm on a mac, and dont have access to a pc, which I assume most of the all-in-one tools exist.
Any help would be appreciated!! I dont have much to offer, inbox invite anyone? Thanks!

First step, try Firewater for s-off... Likely won't work, so try Sunshine.
Then go from there. ?

[Q] Bootloader unlocked, s-on, want to get s-off

Hey all, I got my One the day it came out so I was lucky and was able to unlock the bootloader through htcdev. I haven't wanted to get s-off until now since I was pretty content to have the bootloader unlocked and s-on. I was looking into the rumrunner s-off but I wasn't sure if since I already unlocked the bootloader if I could use that method. Currently I am using CM 10.2.
In fastboot, here is what my phone reads (if that is at all helpful):
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***

I know for a fact you would have to go back to stock everything. I would take a look through the original thread I know this has been talked about before in there.

thanks for the reply. I looked through the thread and couldn't find anyone that was in the same position. Maybe I'm just bad a searching but I did look through the thread already.
Look around page 8/9. From the looks you need to go back to stock with the stock kernel for it to work properly.
Thanks again. I haven't been able to find the stock files anywhere. Any suggestions?

[Q] Can't update Sprint HTC One M8 on 4.4.2. (Mac User.)

Hi there,
this is my 2nd thread here, forgive me if my question has been answered already, I swear I already searched for the answer here.
So... some background I bought this Htc One M8 from someone in USA, and i brought it to Mexico, it works and all fine, the problem is that i cant update it. im still on 4.4.2, and every time I download the update it starts fine but suddenly the green bar stops when installing and then a red triangle appears. I've made some research i know how to do stuff on the ADB and Fastboot... Hboot screen tells me this:
***TAMPERED***
***UNLOCKED***

Software: 1.54.651.10
CID: SPCS_001
All i want is being able to update to 4.4.3 and then 4.4.4, I thought the Stock Recovery was corrupt, i followed this steps to flash a 1.54.651.8 Stock recovery, retried to update to 4.4.3, and the same happened.
Does anyone know how to make it get the update with this stock ROM?
or else: does anyone know where i can find a PURE HTC Sense 6 Stock Rom (no bloatware, and that can work in Mexico's Telcel network)?
And what are the steps to do any of the above?
One more thing im on a Mac so i cant use RUUs if i had to use them.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] How to flash original firmware in order to get s-off

I have an s-on T-Mobile M8 running firmware as follows:
HBOOT - 3.16.0.0000
RADIO- 1.16.21331931.LA24G
OPENDSP- v38.2.2-00542-M8974.0311
OS-
eMMC-boot 2004MB
May 8 2014
I have tried downloading all kinds of firmware files, renaming them to 0P6BIMG.zip and then running them through hboot. Everytime, they say that it is the wrong zip file.
I want to upgrade to one of the many lollipop roms, but when I do, I don't have wifi. I assume this is because I don't have the right firmware. So, how do I get the correct firmware flashed onto my phone with what I currently have?
Thanks for your help!
Well, you can't downgrade firmwares unless you're already s-off so there's no chance of doing that in order to achieve s-off. That being said, if you just want a lollipop rom which runs on newer firmware that should be doable as long as your MID and CID match up. In your case it sounds like you would want to convert over to the dev edition firmware so you would match your IDs to those. However, I'm unsure how possible that is to do without being rooted, or possibly even s-off. So you might be in a bit of a catch22 there. But I'm not an expert by any means so you'd need to double check what I've told you. There is a thread in the regular forum about flashing firmware that tells you what is and is not possible. I'd start there.

[Q] Chinese Dual Sim Version ROM help.

Hi, I am in dire need of help right now. I recently purchased a HTC One M8 from china (Dual sim) and wanted to convert it to either the international version (with htc sense) or the GPE.
However, all the custom ROMs I have tried don't seem to be working. My phone is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked, but it is still S-On. I'm not ready to pay $25 for sunshine since I'm not confident that it will help my situation.
Currently my phone has no operating system according to the bootloader, and I have been unable to boot into any custom ROMs I have installed.
Being the dual sim version, there is next to no stock or custom roms to be found on xda developers, so now all I want is to revert it back to its stock rom. (I stupidly forgot to back things up before flashing custom recovery and custom roms.)
Can anybody out there help me find the file(s) I need? I don't care if I have to live with no google apps, but if someone could help me out there too that would be awesome
Not sure if this info will be useful, but my bootloader says:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***

My Phone's CID is HTCCN703, and I have TWRP v2.7.1.0 installed, since the newer versions didn't work.
I'm relatively a newbie - I've done this rooting/flashing custom rom stuff on 3 or 4 phones before but never ran into any trouble, so help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and I apologise if I'm posting this in the wrong place, or if someone has asked the same/similar question before. If that's the case please direct me there
UPDATE: So after a little further research I've decided to just restore it using an RUU, but I need help finding the correct one to use with my device. Thanks! Feel free to ask for any additional info you need to find the right RUU

[Help] Returning so Stock Sense or latest GPE version

So I've been stuck on Android version 4.4.3 because I converted from stock Sense to the GPE without creating any form of backups.
I'm completely new to the Android system so I have zero background on these kind of things... I've tried looking around for guides so I don't make unnecessary posts but I get hesitant to follow through with them because I'm not sure if my system details will match with other people's.
To make it short, I want to return back to the legitimate stock sense or the latest GPE version for the HTC One M8. Be it just some guidance on where to look or a full on guide, I will greatly appreciate some help.
Some information about my phone, I got this phone from Wind Mobile( A Canadian provider) and my bootloader currently reads:
***TAMPERED***
***UNLOCKED***

simple
first change your CID to super CID don't ask me (just google it)
second install MS C++ 2005-2010 32bit, I will say it again 32BIT
and http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/ download this RUU
and open it in windows connect the phone (power it up to 30%) then flash it
NOTEs:************************************
1-it might not flash just because of the rom (tell me if it did not work)
2-there might be no cellular signals (tell me).
