Could you please re-type? You're on GPE 4.4.3 I presume? Is it S-On or S-Off? Have you manually checked system for updates? Have you installed a custom recovery?

Now I'm with 5.0.1 modified, after I did the firmware flash 5.0 but I can not install the 4.3, 4.4, 5.0 only, I have S-OFF.

If there is an OTA on your version, than yes you can update that way, which will also update your firmware.
Stock ROM and stock recovery are required to OTA.

A random bug, and isolated incidents (I've seen a couple of similar reports as well).

This on the other hand, I can virtually guarantee will break your WiFi.

So i should restore my stock 4.4.2 , and ugrade to 4.4.3 with stock recovery
after that i can flash 4.4.4 custom rom ?
or i should upgrade to 4.4.4 Ota also ?
will upgrading Ota make me capable of flashing 4.4.4 custom roms ?

Flashing a 4.4.4 ROM while on 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 firmware will result in broken WiFi (and possibly very long boot times as well). You need to be on 4.4.4 firmware, its simple as that.
Return to stock, OTA to 4.4.3, than OTA to 4.4.4. This will put you on the current firmware.
Or just s-off. I think someone on here mentioned that the sunshine devs will accept gift cards as payment for locations that don't support PayPal.

Updating for Lollipop

I there people,
I have my device s-on mode but it run ICS and now i want to update to the new android version but mine isnĀ“t s-off and now i when i try to put any rom (already test with Insertcoin and Viper rom) get always some issues in wi-fi and stuff like that. Is there any way to install lollipop rom without s-off or is there a simple way to do it?
Regards
This phone never had ICS (Android 4.0), it released with KitKat (Android 4.4), is that what you mean? You have an M8, right (not another phone)?
If you do have the M8, depending which carrier/region version, most can be returned to stock ROM, stock recovery, than you can OTA to update your firmware (which will then allow current custom ROMs to work correctly). Or some variants have RUU, so you can relock the bootloader and RUU to Lollipop to update the firmware.
Hi there,
Sorry, is the Kitka version that i mean. i was using the Insertcoin 4.4 and now install the viper version of lollipop and get issues in wi-fi....

And you will encounter that issue on every single Sense Lollipop ROM until you update your firmware by one of the methods I suggested in my previous post.

[Q] Can you install a custom ROM without being S-OFF?

I've recently unlocked my bootloader and rooted my HTC One M8, and I noticed that you have to pay in order to S-OFF your device. I wanted to know if you can install a custom ROM without being S-OFF?
You can but as far as I'm aware it's only up to 4.4.3. I'm using Sinless Rom 4.4.3 but really want to go 4.4.4. I did install a couple but had no WiFi connection on them I'm going to s-off with Sunshine soon when I've got the money. Hopefully a dev will prove me wrong and say you can install 4.4.4 without being s-on. It could be that my firmware is really outdated so in which case I'd have to go back to stock and update it. Anyway hope my gibberish helped in some way

I'm trying to understand what you are saying here. What is only up to 4.4.3? Stock M8's have been updated not only to 4.4.4, but to 5.0 (Lollipop).
If you are on a 4.4.3 ROM, and going to 4.4.4 breaks WiFi, you in fact have outdated firmware.
Return to stock ROM and stock recovery and install official OTAs up to current (5.0 Lollipop) to run the current custom ROMs, without having to s-off.

Yes and No.
You can flash any custom ROMs meant for the M8, meaning they will flash. But some things might be broken (extreme long boot times, broken WiFi) if you "firmware" is not up to date.
Reason for that is that when going between major updates (Android builds 4.4.2 to 4.4.2, etc.) HTC has been updating a collection of modules (aside from the ROM itself) commonly called "firmware" that includes hboot, radio, WiFi, and other stuff. Many of these partitions are write protected. Theefore, they can only be updated either by official means (such as OTA updates) or otherwise you need s-off to "manually" update them.
One easy question, is your phone already running stock Lollipop? If so, you can just flash any custom ROM meant for the M8.

Are you currently running stock KitKat?
Thanks for clearing that up for me, I only said 4.4.3 as I came from 4.4.2 originally. I did suspect my firmware had something to do with it hence why I said hopefully someone could prove me wrong and so they have?

No need to return to stock recovery and OTA, then. Your firmware is up to date.
Just flash the custom ROM of your choice. S-off not required.

HTC ONE M8 5.0.1- Failed To Flash Stock Recovery

Stock Recovery
Dear friends,
I have an HTC one M8
Android-5.0.1
Network Provider- Three Republic of Ireland
Bootloader status- Unlocked
S-ON
CID-H3G__001
I am trying to do an OTA-4.25.771.6
I was on TWRP Custom Recovery
I tried to reflash to stock recovery to do the OTA and unsuccessfully tried the below mentioned Stock recoveries from XDA developers.
stock+recovery+1.54.771.5+recovery.img
and
stock+recovery+1.12.771+recovery.img
I see a Red triangle with an exclamation mark when I try to run the Stock Recovery.
Can anybody suggest any solutions
Many Thanks

Those recoveries are way too old to work, it needs to match your current firmware (hboot, etc.), which sounds like Lollipop Android 5.0 (those are Kitkat Android 4.4.2 recoveries).
I assume you have the stock Lollipop ROM? Since you need the stock ROM (in addition to stock recovery) to OTA. And trying to install the recent Stagefright OTA?

You need to install 4.20.771.2 stock recovery or the one that from OTA 4.25.771.6.
And make sure you have a non-rooted stock 4.20.771.2 ROM running on your device

Dear CKP5
Many thanks for the reply.
Do I need to unroot my Device which is already on Stock Rom to do an OTA.I have'nt messed with any default apps that came with the device. I am already receiving the notifications to do an OTA on the device.
I could'nt find the stock recovery.Can you please give me a link to the same.
Regards
Definitely you need a non-rooted stock ROM.
If you unroot your ROM, most likely it won't work either as the root itself change some files.
Restore the system part only from a non-rooted backup to avoid problem. You can keep your data.
Install stock recovery then do OTA
Check link in my signature for all files that you need.
And FYI .. this OTA will upgrade your system to 5.0.2 but unfortunately the stagefright fix only fix 6/7 vulnerabilities

I have s-off my device and now I cant find the lollipop update for my device A5dug cid-HTCCN703 china Unicom version

If it's the Stagefright patch update for lollipop it's better you didn't find it before S off because I've read their having problems getting S off with this patch applied. If your talking about updating from kit Kat to lollipop it should still show in your phone as an OTA or in HTCsync when you hook your phone to your computer for backups. To update though either way you'll need to reflash your stock recovery and unroot. Luckily with S off I'm pretty sure you can leave your boot loader unlocked when flashing stock Rom unlike those with S on. HTCs site should have the stock zip for your model to download. We do in the U.S also. but it's in the RUU format. Then you just download the zip and flash it using ADB/fastboot but first you'll need to first find and flash your stock recovery I believe then unroot then flash stock zip.
thanks for repplying but it started to find updates again, guess it was maybe server issues or something
