[Q] S-OFF & firmware upgrade - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dears,
I am trying to S-OFF my M8 in order to be able to update the firmware and install a customized ROM of 4.4.4. I have unlocked my bootloader and rooted the device, but now since firewater is dis-continued yet I have tried it but hanged giving me the following:
" !!If firewater hangs for more than 2 minutes or device enters qhusb mode, ho
power for 60 seconds !!
.............................................""
What other alternative I have to S-Off and upgrade my firmware? I have 1.54.708 firmware, HTC_622
Many thanks in advance

did you read the firewater thread ? it is mentioning sunshine many times. its the way to go and also the ONLY way at this moment.

Yep... Sunshine is the only way to go. It is incredibly easy to use, just install it and let it do its thing.

Done Sunshine... worked amazingly, worth the money.
however after S-offing, I cannot see the sunshine app anymore. Does it mean if "for any reason" if I need to S-off again, I will have to buy the service again ?

[Q] What to do after S-OFF and before flashing firmware?

I'm attempting to install ARHD but wifi isn't working due to not updating my firmware. So I found the firmware on their website and attempted to install it (relock bootloader as I'm S-ON) but I got an error (41 model id check fail). Searched up about it and found that the best thing to do was to go S-OFF. I don't mind using sunshine to do it, but what do I do after I preform the S-OFF? Someone said something about changing CID but I don't know much about that.
Info on my device that will hopefully help:

S-OFF
Super CID
Then install ROM if new firmware is required then update it.
Enjoy!

[Q] Warrenty bach to stock - help

Dear Users,
today i decided to go back on stock, because my HTC One M8 Volume Buttons got crazy. Sometimes it get loader or silent. In Bootloader its very difficult to get the task i want to do.
It's my first time that i have to do that, and my very first time that i got a problem. My HTC is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked. I tried to get S-OFF so i can change the flag in the Bootloader to LOCKED. (At this time there are these flags: ***Software status: Modified*** ***UNLOCKED***)
Firewater could open the first bottle, but then it told me that I done an OTA and i couldn't do that. So I read that i have to flash an older Kernel. Now I have to commit that I really don't know which one to use. Or is it enough when i flash the RUU and relock the bootloader?
Here my stats:
version: 0.5

Are you on 4.4? If so you need to update your bootloader to 4.16.401.9

Softbrick HTC ONE M8s

Hi,
I was trying to flash my HTC ONE M8s but was unsuccessful. I wasn't aware that only a certain ROM could be used.
I am not exactly sure what I did but even the recovery partition is gone. Anytime I try to go into recovery or boot the phone it just goes to the htc logo screen. I have tried to flash a new recovery (TWRP) and (CWM). Fastboot tells me it has gone across ok but when I try to boot into recovery again I just get the htc logo screen.
I have tried to use ADB but it will not pick up my device. I don't think I enabled developer mode correctly before I started fooling around with the phone.
I unlocked the bootloader but still have S-ON. I have tried using RUU file for my model id but still nothing.
Is there any tools out there that I can use to totally wipe the phone clear and start fresh without having to send it back to HTC.
The reason I tried to flash it in the first place was that my camera stopped working after the update for Marshmallow came out. I asked HTC about it and they just wanted me to send it to them.
Their support is not very good!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also if this post is not in the right place feel free to move me on, this is my first time.
Heres my phone details:
