We can assume your S-OFF cause you've stated trying to go back to Dev edition .
I would ruu the same GPE ruu you used or a newer one just to get back up and running.my opinion about the Dev edition lollipop is it's still no better than GPE lollipop if that's what you wish to return to Sense over.

So I recently got myself an HTC One M8 Google Play Edition.
I tried to root it and unlocked the bootloader with ADB Commands.
Everything worked fine until I tried to install a custom firmware. It kept me in a bootloop and kept going back into TWRP Recovery.
I found out afterwards that my phone was still S ON.
For some reason, I was able to install Skydragon 3.0.1 custom rom for GPE and I finally got the phone working and usable again.
I thought that it was my chance to try and get S OFF with firewater.
Again, I tried doing so with ADB Command and I got the message that my device is patched by HTC, I am out of luck.
So now I'm stuck on Skydragon 3.0.1 rom. Not to say that it's a bad thing. The rom works GREAT!
But I want to revert back into stock rom and restart anew so I can maybe try and get S off from the beginning because SkyDragon has an OTA.
Apparently it's the OTA that is preventing me completely running firewater.
Is there any way to fix this? Can I still get S OFF from where I am or is there a way to go back to factory settings before all the rooting?
I haven't found any other roms that would install on my phone.
Please help!!!!! =(
Did you try installing an old 4.4.2 gpe ruu. You should be able to run it with son.

You're gonna have to use Sunshine and pay the $25 to get S-OFF, firewater won't work now it's been patched (the system, NOT the ROM btw)

Is it normal I get an error message that sunshine isnt compatible on my device?

Apparently the ROM has to be as stock as possible for it to work (I didn't have to as I used Firewater a few months ago when I first got my M8)

It says that I cannot run sunshine because of my kernel/rom combination. I need to flash a sense-based rom.
Problem is, when I read online, I saw that I cannot flash a sense-based rom onto an GPE because of the partition difference or something.
Thus why I wanted to get S-off
I'm on skydragon GPE v3.0.0 with SkyDragon V2.0.1 kernel by the way
Did you try a 4.4.2 ruu? It might be in the gpe conversion thread if not I can send you a Drop box link.

I could find that in the htc dev website right? But if you could still send me the link so I can see if it's the same, it would be appreciated boss.
but I thought since I'm on 4.4.4, I couldn't downgrade?
Hi Guys, need some help, i am kind of new to this stuff, i unlocked my m8 bootloader and then rooted and then install 4.4.3 GPE edition ROM from graffixnyc, now it works fine, interestingly it downloaded a system updated of 4.4.4 but when i click on install and reboot, it reboots in twrp and then nothing happens, any ideas how can i update.
I am s-on.
Also when i install 4.4.4 GPE Rom, it keeps restarting my phone so i reverted back to 4.4.3.
You need to have stock gpe recovery

And for that I need s-off correct?
Long story short, I bought a GPE M8 with a custom rom, I want to return it back to full stock, it has the bootloader unlocked, every attempt I have made says it has said the installation is aborted, or something about this HTC is europe based etc and the rom is US based etc, I am open to any reasonable suggestions, I just want my phone to be stock, thanks.
OK, so is it from GPE or a GPE Rom ?
Maybe it's a originally Sense based variant ?
How about a pic of the hboot screen ?
Do you have custom recovery?
@badboy47 why don't you try graffixnyc's gpe ruu ?

I tried it, it kept bugging out, not knocking anyones rom, I just ended up with the Task650 rom, its running fine now.
I was running 4.4.4 kitkat on my htc one m8 with a cid no. of HTC__038 and the software no. - 3.35.720.1, s-on and booloader unlocked. I flashed TWRP recovery and rooted it then I unrooted it and installed stock recovery back again but it is still showing a modified tag in bootloader screen and I am unable to install lollipop on my phone as it gets stuck while installing in the installing screen. I used Hasoon2000's toolkit for this. Now, what should I do? Please help!

I know my opinion is not the most popular, but as long as 4.4.4 KitKat runs fine, I don't see a point of installing Lollipop at this time. When Sense 7 and Lollipop 5.1 will arrive, then hopefully it will be worth it.

But I'm not able to install the updates even when the sense 7 arrives still I'll not be able to install the update.
Last night, I flash SkyDragon GPE ROM on my HTC M8 and also flash the 5.1 firmware from graffixnyc.com/m8.php. The phone works without problems. Today, I want to change my phone to SkyDragon sense rom, but I got a big problem. I just flash the 4.16.401.10 firmware and flash the TWRP 2.8.6.0. When I enter to recovery mode to try to do the factory default, I got error message said that data partition can not be mount. And I also found a problem, the capacity of internal sdcard was 0MB..... I had used one day to find any methods from the Google, but I can't solve it.... Now, I can use this GPE rom, but I still want to change to sense rom. Does any one know how I can reflash to sense ROM? :crying: Thanks!!!
My phone was S-Off and the CID was 11111111.
