Before i start to explain i would like to apologize for the basic title, i know people have had this issue in the past as i' have spent many hours on end going through Forum after forum attempting to look for a fix for this.
I'm reasonably new when it comes to rooting devices, i used to have a Galaxy note 2 i was able to tinker around with no problem, then i came to rooting my M8 and stumbled accross a multitude of problems.
At the moment i have a nandroid backup i can backup too that i believe is 1.54.61.5 as my CID is ORANG001 then when i attempt to do the OTA update it installs, then when it reboots i cannot use my Wi-Fi, it stays grey and will not turn on.
I read somewhere that a certain firmware file is required for the Wi-Fi to work yet i cannot find my Firmware due to the mainversion being blank and i have attempted to install 5 different Firmwares which i will list below:
2.22.1540.3.zip
1.54.654.13.zip
1.54.651.8.zip
2.22.401.4.zip
2.22.401.5.zip
I will display my getvar all information to provide further insight, not entirely sure what information to blank, not really fussed at this point haha.

well to begin with your s-on and your not going to be able to flash firmware at all unless it the correct newer version than whats on the phone now.
3.18.0 hboot = 2.x.xxx.x firmware
ORANG001 = x.xx.61.x
so your looking for a 3.x.61.x firmware to flash

Prologue:
So there I was, caressing my shiny and smooth M8.
At the beginning of the year I S-Offed, and added DigitalHigh's awesome Beyond Stock...
Later on, I used a standard RUU GPE Rom.
After repeated Wi-Fi password amnesia, I wanted Beyond Stock Back.
Flashing "GPE_5.1_M8_DH_080215.zip" gives me an "Error 7" even with repeated wipes... hehe... wipes
Searching didn't give me a coherent answer.
So I though, let's update TWRP... and...
Now
The thing's only usable in Bootloader.
If I go to recovery or ANYTHING, the "Google" logo stares at me in disgust.
Odd detail: I'm using fastboot and when it's stuck on the "Google" logo, entering "adb devices" detects the phone in recovery mode.
I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0, but all I see is the "Google" logo. (I can still feel vibrations on the screen as if I'm hitting a menu button)
I also tried to "fastboot -w" and it gave me the "remote: not allowed" result.
Actually, I tried to fastboot a lot of things and the result came the same.
Anyways, I'll give a detailed log as soon as I remember how, but the reason I post this is 'cause searching for this doesn't give an understandable or reliable result.
Thanks

But delete the serial and imei before posting ! If you have an old bootloader you have to use the 2.7 series of TWRP. if you have the latest bootloader (3.18-3.19) you have to use 2.8 series of TWRP !
OOOOOOOOOHHHH, Where I get new M8 bootloader?
Hold Up, going to work, will post 'getvar' later today.
It's there, brah.
Take a look if you can.
It's an AT&T device, you are using it with AT&T ? And you fully converted it from sense to GPE ? You could also :
1: run the GPE ruu again. It will get you on GPE stock again and since you are s-off that should not be a problem of any kind.
2: convert back to sense (original AT&T with software number x.xx.502.x)
i am not sure if the AT&T RUU will cover the "back to sense conversion" so this might be interesting too as it involves the standalone flashing of the firmware first (you need a AT&T firmware, NOT the one posted there !!!)
here is more conversion info :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733523

Hi,,
I have managed to remove my OS, without making a backup. All i have running is TWRP. Was going to install CM12.1, but didnt update the M8 to the latest software that contains relevant bootloader. From here it went downhill - fast.
Ended up with no OS, no backkups, and no ability to flash other ROMS i think.
If someone could give me a few ideas, i would really appreciate it.

Your case is different and you should start your own thread but there are many same case as yours.
Here is one and the solution is in there.. run RUU - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/os-sos-t3192177
Anything you're not sure, ask there. Don't hijack this thread.
UPDATE: Thanks to ckpv5 and the links that were provided i was able to complete the reinstall - thank you so much!!
Opps - sorry - didnt mean to offend!
Will take a look.
Thanks
Mike
The RUU got me an OS and, right now, that is all I need.
Thank you!!
Ok, i tried to install VenonOne, it installed first time but my wifi didnt work, so i searched around and found out i needed to update my firmware, which needed S-off, which i cant becuase i dont have the money for sunshine. and problem after problem and following half arsed tutoials online solved nothing. i can only go to bootloader and recovery. not sure what to do,
i have twrp installed
Im a D*ck head and didnt make a backup becuae it 'looked easy enough'
any help would be great. would like to be using venomone but atm any os will do
Every rom i install cause the wifi to not work, i press to turn it on and nothing
Thanks guys

You probably realize it at this point; but my rule of thumb is always make a backup before flashing anything (or at a minimum, have a known good backup or known good ROM ready to flash). Its got nothing to do with how "easy" a process is. Things can go wrong even with the simplest mods, to the most knowledgeable users, and even if you do nothing wrong.
You don't need s-off to update your firmware.
Either run a Lollipop (or Marshmallow) RUU intended for your CID (relock bootloader in order to RUU). Keeping in mind that this will wipe the phone.
Alternately (such as if there is no RUU for your version), restore a stock ROM that corresponds to your current firmware, restore corresponding stock recovery. Then do OTA update, which will also update your firmware.
After updating the firmware by either of the 2 above methods, just flash TWRP back onto the phone (in case of the RUU method, you'll need to unlock the bootloader again, before you can flash TWRP) and flash your custom ROM of choice.
If you do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial numbers) we can offer some more specific assistance.
thanks for taking your time to help,

Use this ruu just relock bootloader it's ruu exe it's simple to use and let me know
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934555499
First of all thanks for anyone who can help me.
I'm quite desperate after spending countless hours on XDA trying to get my phone to work.
I received the phone (international HTC one M8) in a somewhat broken state and I am trying to fix it.
Originally the phone had a 4.4 rom on it which caused the phone to reboot constantly, I couldn't get the rom to update either so I decided to flash it to Marshmallow.
Set S-off, I flashed TWRP and installed the latest Skydragon rom. Wifi wasn't working though so I flashed ruu firmware 6.12.401.4b. The rom worked, Wifi worked, but only downside, it only booted while being charged with a cable, and the sudden reboots started occurring again. So I think the battery might be shotty too. Anyway, I got a device tree warning too, so I reflashed a different Ruu, reboots started occurring even when trying to get to recovery. So I went back to the 6x ruu, tried to flash Skydragon again and then I spiraled into real trouble. Each time I tried to flash a rom, the phone reboots while installing. I even tried the MeID changer to make sure it fits with the firmware.
Long story short, the reboots got worse, I can't get into recovery without rebooting. If I run recovery over fastboot, I get into the recovery, but it reboots when I try to flash anything. I also tried Phil's revovery but same problem.
I can get into fastboot, hboot and bootloader just fine though.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Need more info to proceed. Please do a fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Sure Thing! Thanks!

It is indeed an M8_UL which is the GSM/Int version.
However version-mics shows: XF SHIP S-OFF
M8_UL_XF is something I have heard of before on a forum (few pages back, there's a thread with a similar case).
Anyway, an ordinary M8_UL will show 'PVT SHIP S-OFF'.
XF is either a 'different' variant or some type of engineer/prototype device.
What do you think @redpoint73?

Here is the getvar all from my M8.
Notice the version-misc.
Thanks @murtaza02, I finally got the damn thing to work because of your comment I realized my CID was bogus and wasn't corresponding with the MID, so I fixed that using fastboot, flashed the EU 6x FUU and the corresponding RUU (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687057). And behold, It booted into Marshmellow!!
Now though, the phone still keeps shutting down (not even rebooting) and won't start android without being plugged in. Could this be software related at all? Getvar says the battery is good and when it craps out, (most often when trying to enable WIFI) it shows the battery charging just fine. I still see the device tree warning on boot btw.

As I said, yours is XF and a normal M8 is PVT.
Your device will accept a MM firmware, however there may be a SLIGHT difference in partition/partition sizes hence the device tree error and irregular behavior.
Your CID was not bogus, it was just SuperCID which is used to bypass the CID check during an RUU/FUU flash.
I'm still trying to figure out why (and how) yours is different.

I don't know much about the XF variant, either. But I recall @ckpv5 pointing out the difference to an XF user a week or 2 ago. So maybe @ckpv5 can jump in and give some advice here?
@redpoint73, Thanks but I fear @ckpv5 might not have any more info to go on. I found his post where he referred to the XF variant. He said it's quite possible a US variant, definitely has different partitioning than the PVT version, but didn't know more. I've also seen posts of people suggesting it's a Canadian version.
I bought it on Aliexpress if that is any lead. But in all honestly, I'm really starting to worry I have an expensive paperweight.
One more potential clue, the Alie page suggests the phone only has WCDMA, no LTE, could that be a lead? Ow and one more clue, the model number on the back of the phone is: OP6B100x

Hi everyone,
I attempted to root my HTC One M8 a few months ago and I got completely stuck and soft bricked my phone.
I now just want to try to get it working any way I can (back to stock or rooted whichever is easiest)
My bootloader is unlocked
I have S-ON (and I'm not sure of the best method to gain S-OFF if this is required, as there is a lot of conflicting information)
and I have TWRP v2.8.7.0 installed (I know this must be an old version now)
My region is United Kingdom/ carrier EE
Can anyone please advise me how I might be able to get my phone working again? (back to any working state is fine)
If this is any help... when I do fastboot getvar all, this is the information which comes up

Hi everyone,
I attempted to root my HTC One M8 a few months ago and I got completely stuck and soft bricked my phone.
I now just want to try to get it working any way I can (back to stock or rooted whichever is easiest)
My bootloader is unlocked
I have S-ON (and I'm not sure of the best method to gain S-OFF if this is required, as there is a lot of conflicting information)
and I have TWRP v2.8.7.0 installed (I know this must be an old version now)
My region is United Kingdom/ carrier EE
Can anyone please advise me how I might be able to get my phone working again? (back to any working state is fine)
If this is any help... when I do fastboot getvar all, this is the information which comes up

You have European version htc m8 .
The easiest method is running a RUU for going back to stock .
Relock your bootloader .
Go to bootloader
Give command
Fastboot oem lock
Download this RUU
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687057
Rename it 0P6BIMG.zip
Place it in sd card
Boot to bootloader
It will automatically read the ruu file and proceed with instructions.
HiT Thanks if SomeBody Helps you..
Thanks so much for the fast reply and perfect solution!!!
Hi sonnu0100.
I am in the exact same position as TMJay, however the only difference for me is that my CIDnum is "orange001".
Do you know which RRU I can use as the one you've provided for TMJay doesn't work for me. The error I receive is:-
"CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Device halted due to Large Image update fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot"
My issue isn't as a result of me flashing things without care. I think there is an onboard memory problem as when I was using my M8 as my primary phone last year (before my HTC 10) it lost the OS without me doing anything. I was able to recover and get a working device again but can't remember what I did. I've gone to hand the phone to someone else to use and it's seemingly died again.... could just be erroneous.
Help appreciated.
Many thanks,
Hi,
For info, I've found a solution by referring to this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
So I'm back up and running with a working phone for now at least .
Cheers
Hey Everyone,
I'm trying to revert my M8 to stock sense. I've never S-ON'd, though my phone is all kinds of messed up.

I bought my phone from a Canadian provider known as Wind Mobile (now rebranded as Freedom Mobile). As you can see there's no firmware listed, and the bootloader is a strange 3.19.0.0000 which I can't seem to find anything on. The lack of firmware listing seems to be a common problem, but it leaves me with a few blanks that leave me unsure on how to proceed.
I've found threads that have RUUs for the same CID & MID, but never for the same bootloader version. I'm not really too sure how to proceed from here as I can't seem to find stock files anywhere for my provider. I'm currently using CRDroid 7.1.1.
I'd like to go back to as stock as possible and receive OTA updates. Can anyone give me some advice on what to use? I've been searching for a few hours now and can't seem to find anything for my specific phone. The one thing I did find was a European based RUU which would probably screw up my radios as I'm located in Canada.
Thank you.
Go to my backup thread linked in my signature and restore stock 6.13.1500.7 backup.
If you want the firmware to be shown on bootloader then flash fw_6.13.1500.7 firmware
How-to is explained there.
First thing .. use correct TWRP version 3.0.x not your current one which I believe is 2.7.x

Thank you so much. You're the best. Got my phone running at pure stock with no issues whatsoever.
