Just got a new m8 but its already updated to stock lollipop. Any way to s-off?
Seanyuan from cto?????
All you have to do is downgrade to a stock kit Kat Rom and run sunshine. If it doesn't work, keep trying different roms that are still on KK til it works. I think mine worked on ARHD or Maximus I believe.

When I was rooted with s-off I was able to download an over the air update but it would not apply so I assume the update to 4.4 will be the same.

You need stock recovery, etc to take the OTA. Check out the Android Development section. There's updated firmware and updated stock roms with instructions.

Hey peps, I got my HTC One update from Verizon yesterday! I love that i finally get to turn off Blink Feed.......The only question i have is OTA wifi exclusively, What does it mean?
As the title says, I would like to turn my T-Mobile HTC One M8 unlocked to stock Sense like the European version, i don't like T-Mobile's mods in it apart from bloatware. thanks (i will upload bootloader photos and more on friday)
Wow you serious? 95 posts and you're basically asking if you could flash a ROM on your phone?

That would be the stock HTC ROM, with no carrier bloat, so if what you are looking for is pure HTC Stock, that would be it.
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!
Lol is there such a thing as a stable CM rom?

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.

Thank you and am sorry for posting in the wrong thread
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

i'm now on Lollipop 5.0.1, but i have stock 4.4.3 twrp backup, can i restore to 4.4.3 and then gain s-off ?
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
