2.22.401 is international firmware, and is known to not play well with US version M8, so I'm just guessing Rogers would have the same story. Rogers versions are usually very similar to AT&T (if not outright identical aside from branding); as the companies have a close association and actually the same company at one time.
If this is correct, you should try the 2.221540 firmware. This is the firmware packed with the US Developer's Edition and seems to work much better for US users:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54408500&postcount=9592
Also packaged with the ROM here (this is the one I used, personally): http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
Also, firmware package contains hboot, so the modified (no red text) hboot you flashed previously was overwritten. The 2nd link I gave above contains a "no red text" hboot.
Hi, I'm having the same issues with the same firmware 2.22.401.4 and latest version of ARHD 10.2. Reboot takes ~2-3 minutes.
Any ideas? Also if someone could tell me if there's any other way of accomplishing S-OFF, besides Firewater/Sunshine? (it's annoying to look at the red text for 3 minutes)
I've got the European model, unlocked and rooted, cidnum: HTC_032
Thanks.

If you are not s-off then you don't have the latest firmware. You either s-off and flash 2.22.401.4 firmware, or you remain s-on and downgrade your rom to arhd 8.1, or you return to stock and wait the official OTA to update firmware

Thanks for the advice.
I'm not very experienced, so basically what you are saying is that it's not enough to flash a ROM with sw#2.22.401.4?
Currently i reverted to the newest stock i could find (One_M8_2.22.401.4_odexed) and the boot time is slightly better.
ARHD experience was clearly better, with the sense toolbox and all the features from Xposed, but as I mentioned earlier i can't get S-OFF with firewater, and not willing to try Sunshine YET.
Any idea if my firmware will update OTA running this stock version?
Was looking for a ROM that would contain the firmware 2.22.401.4, but couldn't find any, so if you have a link, I would highly appreciate it.

You are correct flashing a ROM based on 2.22.401.4 is not enough. you need to flash the firmware as well. This can be done only by s-off or if you get the official OTA from HTC. To get the official OTA from HTC you need to have stock rom and stock recovery.
You can get a stock 1.54.401.10 and a stock recovery for 1.54.401.10 here:

Nope. In short, the "firmware" updates a lot of modules that are not touched when you flash a ROM.

Ok, I think I got it, but feel free to correct me, I'd rather look stupid than stupid with a shiny brick.
I'll flash the stock rom 1.54.401.10 from TWRP.
I'll reboot into fastboot and flash the stock recovery.
After this my FW should update to 1.54.401.10 OTA?

You are correct with the exception that your firmware must already be 1.54.401.10. You will be waiting for the official 2.22.401.4 OTA from HTC after which you will be able to flash any 4.4.3 ROM based on 2.22.401.4.
I really have no idea though if HTC__032 has received the OTA yet or not.
The new firmware is not fully compatible with hboot 3.16 if you have s-off, flasha this file to fastboot https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358556103.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware_2.12.401.3.zip

Loooong boot
I have same problem ,i have insert coin 4.0.5 rom and rom version 2.22.401.4 > kernel ElementalX 1.02 for this rom version (2.22.401.4) But I bought three days ago my m8, I had a system 1.54.401.5 then I got OTA to 1.54.401.10 (I'm from Poland)......and ended up as 1.54.401.10 HTC says that there is no newer update. So I unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp and root. Unfortunately, as I try to do the S-OFF mistake I see so SuperCID is not to do the same with the RUU and uploading packages by "fastboot". So now the question. my cid is HTC__32 article display 1.54.401.10 me as the newest system. So for HTC__32 no recent update and I have to wait? Upload in twrp backup 1.54.401.10 then the "fastboot" recovery1_54_401_10.img and type "fastboot oem lock"? Then wait for the OTA update? Will it work?
PLS HELP
1.54.401.10 seems to be the latest OTA update for HTC_032 cidnumber.
I've just finished reverting to stock 1.54.401.10, both ROM and recovery, and no updates so far. It's a waiting game i guess because i know some ppl from here in Romania who already got the 4.4.3 update OTA.
getting S-OFF doesn't work for me (with firewater), so for now, I'm just glad i could get rid of the pesky Orange branded ROM.
@Bajdaspl: you will need to switch back to stock recovery (NOT TWRP) and ROM and wait for the OTA. Only other way is to S-OFF, but that doesn't work for me either (dunno about the Sunshine + 25$ method tho)

What S-off method did you try, and what was the result?
If checking for the OTA does not find an update, it likely hasn't rolled out for your version yet.
You need to relock the bootloader for OTA (only RUU) and doing so will wipe the phone. You need stock recovery, and no system files altered by root.
I fixed mine!
I had the same issue, I was using software version 1.55.666.4 , and the only way I could get the phone to restart without having to wait about 5 mins, was flashing a stock ROM, since then I flashed the stock recovery, and did the OTA which took me to 2.23.666.2, reflashed ARHD 10.1 , and it's working like a charm!

Did you relock the bootloader as well?

You don't need to relock bootloader to receive OTA, just stock recovery.

I have the international version of the HTC One M8 so At&T I have 4.4.2 but I want to get Lollipop. I've looked into it and it seems I have a long list of upgrades to make. I have to first update my hboot somehow to the latest one so I can get a newer version of TWRP because I can't use those right now, I just get stuck booting into recovery. To do that I need to update my firmware so I looked into a firmware.zip package but it says I need to relock my bootloader. I'm not particularly willing to have to go through that process. Once I get a newer hboot I need the latest recovery to then flash the update? I'm really confused about all the things I need to do and I need a step by step of things I need to do in order because I don't want to end up bricking my phone somewhere along the way. I've never updated hboot or my firmware I don't think I've just been using AOKP rom with an older recovery TWRP. How do I update all my firmware/software to the latest possible for my HTC One M8? I think the main reason I'm lost is because I don't know what to start with. Right now just pretend I have just my old rom and recovery, where do I go from there? Also I want to get the latest Venom Rom for the M8 if that means anything. They require 5.x.x firmware
Also I probably put this thread in the long location -_-

You better run a RUU.exe file of latest official HTC's ROM (Lollipop). If you have an unlocked bootloader, the best option would be to be S-OFF so you could flash any RUU without relocking the bootloader.
Remember than flashing a RUU will update your firmware, radio and hboot but will erase your phone's content.
Once your device is updated, you just have to reflash TWRP (latest version) and flash the ROM you want.
EDIT: If you manage to get S-OFF you could simply flash latest firmware directly. I would highly recommend you to use Sunshine. It's a paid app but it worth it.

I looked into sunshine but I can't get it. I did get a copy of firewater though somehow but I've tried to run the commands to use firewater but after the last command ("yes") my adb runs into some sort of loop where it prints "y" repeatedly and I can't enter commands because it replaces what I type with a y and you can watch what you typed fly away. Is there any other way to s-off other than Sunshine that actually works?
I'm kind of forced into having to pay for Sunshine. There is no other way for the version I'm on. Will do and return with an update. Might take a while though
I needed to switch to a more stocky rom for sunshine to work, i got android revolution and apparantly i'm already on lollipop?? it says 5.0.1 but that can't be right...

Hi I'm having issues getting a rom that Sunshine supports. Currently I switched over to an old CM11 build for 4.4.x hoping Sunshine would take it but it isn't close enough to stock, and I can't find a single stock rom that isn't an RUU requiring S-Off. I've searched around many threads, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694994 seemed close but it doesn't have what I need. Could you help me solve this issue? Also when I flashed CM11 and booted things were crashing in a loop and after restart it seems to be working no issue, except that google play services isn't supported, so i'm assuming Gapps failed somehow. I'm not planning to stick to CM for long I just need to find a rom that sunshine will take.
ok i found and flashed a nandroid that is appropriate.
I have s-off now.
New problem:
All RUU files I try do not work.
I'm trying to flash a new RUU but the file is too big for Fastboot. I found a method where you copy the zip to the ext_sd and I did that and my phone crashed or something, it went to a black screen and I simulated the battery pull and rebooted. The file was no longer in ext_sd. I'm going to try this again and watch what happens....
this has been a long headache (7 hours straight now)
alright i'm copying and my phone froze completely. currently stuck. Its at 66% transfer
alright something is happening. Screen went dark again, but now the stock wallpaper for the M8 is covering the screen, maybe the launcher restarted and got stuck.
and now the screen is dark again. This isn't working out.
I tried using an RUU exe file rather than a zip, but it stopped in the middle of flashing and said it failed, and that I was using the wrong RUU, when that was the only one available for my ID
I'm really tempted to go into TWRP and flash the zip manually...
I see the One m9 Marshmallow update is out today.
If we are currently rooted with TWRP and S-OFF, what do we need to do to get the OTA?
I assume flash the stock recovery back first, take the OTA, then reflash twrp and root again?
Did I miss anything?
You have to be 100% stock (other than s-off) to take an OTA, which means running a RUU.
But being s-off, why not just wait until the firmware gets posted and update manually?

How would you update manually?
Manually - in case of S-OFF - means flashing firmware that has e.g. been extracted from the OTA using fastboot.
In such a case it is even possible to exchange the stock recovery by the latest TWRP, to be able to flash custom ROMs right away after doing the manual upgrade.
As those named firmware zip-files in most cases you're going to find around this forum, are no longer files which are signed by HTC they can only be flashed if your device got S-OFF'd.
That's as far as a brief explanation of the term "manually" is possible.
Send by the swarm intelligence of my coffee machine ?.
I have an HTC One M9 (Telus Canadian phone) Unlocked with S-OFF.
Rooted with SuperSU and TWRP v2.8.7.0.
I really wanna update my ROM to Android 6.0 but my current firmware version (which I believe is 3.10) is stopping me from doing so. I tried to upgrade my firmware by following the steps on HTC's website but it didn't work.
How do I go about upgrading my firmware?
Hello, You have to be stock to have OTA working
As you're S-off, best way is to flash a RUU.
After OTA you have to install Twrp and SuperSu again to be root...
You are s-off, you should be able to flash an unsigned zip and be done with it.

I'm a little bit confused about the steps I actually need to take. If I flash the right RUU, it will replace my Boot, ROM and Recovery? So the phone will be completely stock? If so, where do I find the right RUU for my phone?
Oh... I wasn't aware that I flash the firmware manually. But where do I find the firmware file? Would you be able to send me a link?
