[Q] Reverting back to Stock from GPE - all of my research

I purchased my phone T-mobile M8 used and it had been converted to GPE. There is a crackling issue with the top speaker and I'd like to return it for warranty repair. I haven't seen a great thread on converting back to stock from GPE so I thought I'd share the research I have done - even though I have not been successful yet...
With adb/fastboot, drivers, etc all in place...
Reset Status to LOCKED (phone must be rooted to do this)

Change your CID to T-MOB010 in Fastboot

Download the RUU
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_M8_TMOUS_1.57.531.7.exe
Run the RUU in Windows. Everything connects and it starts installing then - I get the Error 159 [IMAGE]
I have followed the steps above, downloaded twice, repeated and still...no dice. Any clue what I'm missing? I'm sure there will be other folks who need to revert and would benefit from this.
Here is my info:

When I converted back I just followed this without any issues. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733523 I didn't got as far as using the TMO RUU though.

Did you relock the bootloader before running the ruu? For whatever reason it needs to be relocked before an ruu will complete

Information

Okay so i recently got an Htc One m8 from a friend. It's already rooted, but I dont know if it has a custom recovery or anything. Can someone fill me in on all the important things I have to know for custom recoveries and kernals and stuff like that. I have an At&t version btw.

Q5 has a link to some nice information about HTCs
and you should do a "fastboot getvar all", it shows you all the information you should know about your phone.
for example:

i have twrp installed
Im a D*ck head and didnt make a backup becuae it 'looked easy enough'
any help would be great. would like to be using venomone but atm any os will do

You probably realize it at this point; but my rule of thumb is always make a backup before flashing anything (or at a minimum, have a known good backup or known good ROM ready to flash). Its got nothing to do with how "easy" a process is. Things can go wrong even with the simplest mods, to the most knowledgeable users, and even if you do nothing wrong.
You don't need s-off to update your firmware.
Either run a Lollipop (or Marshmallow) RUU intended for your CID (relock bootloader in order to RUU). Keeping in mind that this will wipe the phone.
Alternately (such as if there is no RUU for your version), restore a stock ROM that corresponds to your current firmware, restore corresponding stock recovery. Then do OTA update, which will also update your firmware.
After updating the firmware by either of the 2 above methods, just flash TWRP back onto the phone (in case of the RUU method, you'll need to unlock the bootloader again, before you can flash TWRP) and flash your custom ROM of choice.
If you do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial numbers) we can offer some more specific assistance.

thanks for taking your time to help,

Cannot now enter recovery

Hi I wonder if anybody could assist me?
I finally bit the bullet yesterday and gained s-off via sunshine.
I then went on to install TWRP 3.0.2-0. - and made a backup on my SD card.
Everything went great until I decided to remove the RED TEXT, I flashed (what I thought was the correct version for Orange:
No Red Text Hboot
modelid: 0P6B10000
cidnum: ORANG001
mainver: 1.54.61.5
btype:1
aareport:1
hbootpreupdate:11
On reboot there was no red text but it took ages to boot. I decided then to revert to my back up via TWRP. On trying to enter recovery the phones just hangs showing entering recovery. Did I flash an incorrect HBoot version? If so how do I rectify the problem?

That 1.54.61.5 is a very old firmware zip that you flashed.
Current TWRP recovery won't work and your ROM also won't properly working on such old version firmware.
Ask the Dev that made the no red text to make one for your correct firmware 6.12.61.4
To fix this for now ...
1. Change the CID ORANG001 to SuperCID 11111111
then flash the No red text for EU version 6.12.401.4
Your current ROM and TWRP should work fine
or
2. Flash your current version firmware 6.12.61.4 and has the red text warning and a working phone and recovery.

Many Many Thanks - Worked perfectly - What a fantastic community XDA is.

First we need to know more about your device.
Do "fastboot getvar all" and post the result here(remove sn,imei)

I'm not sure if this ruu is signed but you can give it a try.

So you ran the RUU, and the original question is no longer relevant?
You have the AT&T version M8, which is SIM locked by default. Was it SIM unlocked before at any time? It's not clear from what you have described so far.

(bootloader) security: on > nead to unlock
so your device may be LOCK or RELOCK > you need to UNLOCK again to Flash TWRP
