Nope, you have to convert back to Sense first

Yes, but you know rom's get updates too. Just saying, nice to be able to run sense and gpe.

I don't know what you mean? You're saying you can dual boot GPE and Sense?

If you do a full gpe conversion you can't just simply flash a sense ROM because they have different system partitions. Imo, It's better to just flash a gpe ROM that way you can quickly switch back and forth if you want.

To go back to the original question. If you want full GPE conversion that can receive ota updates the link above will, providing you flash the stock recovery (a link to this is provided in the thread) What Otariq says is correct, it does actually convert your phone to a full GPE, partitions and all.
You can flash back to sense but there is a simple procedure you have to follow..
Depends what you prefer.
I am on the conversion and love it

[Q] GPE M8 stock kernel for a Sense M8!

Hey there!
I have an HTC One M8 the original one which came with the Sense rom, but I've fully converted it to a GPE M8.. and i changed the CID and the MID to the GPE's CID and MID.
Now i want to flash the stock kernel of the GPE, is it possible or it will hard brick my device?

You will need to do a full conversion back to sense.

Sorry, yeah I misread your post.
If you converted using the RUU method then I think you should be ok but I'd wait for someone else to confirm.

If you fully converted it to GPE, you'd have the GPE kernel... What am I missing?

Right, if you do the GPE conversion, the GPE ROM already includes the kernel. No need to install it separately. Probably wouldn't even boot if you weren't on the GPE kernel.

The whole GPE RUU zip file size is about 500 MB, but the kernel file size from htcdev website is 360 MB! So in don't think they are the same kernels.

That's kernel source code, not the kernel. By no means should you flash that to your phone. As mentioned, if you've done the conversion, you don't need to do anything more, the kernel is already installed.

[Q] One M8 GPE Stock Rom

I need to find a stock rom for the Google Play Edition version of the M8, but after searching for several hours, I found nothing. Currently, I'm running a buggy version of CyanogenMod 11. Nearly every post I find on Google or xda pertains to the Sense One M8, does anyone know where to find a rom or how to restore back to stock GPE?
Any help would be appreciated!

Yeah, I've learned my lesson, don't do CM unless I'm out of manufacture updates lol.
So I do see the RUU file linked above, but is it possible to just flash a normal GPE rom in TWRP? I haven't s-off(ed) the phone and it'd be great if I could just reflash, just like most roms.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot! I really should have added this to the original post, but I'm hoping to get stock with a TWRP flash (which may not easily possible from the looks of it) so I can upgrade when Google blesses us with the Lollipop OTA update.

That GPE Conversion is very easy to do. Take your time read carefully and you'll be on your way to lollipop heaven. Its a lot easier than it looks,trust me.

I could try it this weekend. I'm just a bit reluctant because it seems like such an easy thing to get, yet there aren't any real GPE stock roms as far as I can see. Also I'm not too enthusiastic about paying for s-off. I know from testing a few months ago that firewater doesn't work on my device which just leaves Sunshine s-off for $25

I suppose so. Coming from the GS3 it seems pretty silly that there's no return from flashing a rom lol.
I'll hold out for doing the s-off + RUU and use another rom like sinless until we see if Lollipop gets sent out as a flashable update or full install zip (or, of course, if someone comes across a flashable stock image in the mean time). Thanks everyone for the help so far!
For anyone with the same problem, I've found the original One M8 images! GPE stock rom image can be found here: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
Make sure to choose the One M8 Google Play Edition under the devices dropdown, then you'll find the stock images below.
*Edit* These must be built from the source code.

s-off htc one m8
before update my htc one m8 to lollipop, i make backup for stock android 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 with twrp recovery. if i back to stock 4.4.2 or 4.4.3, can i gain s-off?
If you're now on Lollipop you cannot S-OFF as Sunshine isn't compatible (yet). If you're still on Android 4.4.3 you should be able to get S-OFF
EDIT: Looks like I'm wrong! Sunshine now apparently works on 5.0.x - http://theroot.ninja/download.html

As I said, no as you can't downgrade properly BUT Sunshine now works with Lollipop so you're good to go

Whoa, that must have been super recent, like the last couple days!
I have to go change a bunch of my posts in the last day or 2 now, saying 4.4.4 and 5.0 aren't supported by sunshine!

Any 4.x firmware will work on the latest current ROMs.
What you have is probably the latest firmware for T-Mob US; and either way it will work on the custom ROMs.

SD is a fine ROM. At least from what I've read. I've been exclusively a Sense guy on this phone!

I'm not big on suggesting favorite ROMs. Everyone has their own specific preferences, needs, etc.
I've used stock Developers Edition, LeeDroid, Skydragon Sense, and currently on SROM (just flashed it last Friday). But that isn't to say others, such as InsertCoin, Viper, Etc. are not every bit as good.
Thanks man appreciate the info
