Hi, I am in dire need of help right now. I recently purchased a HTC One M8 from china (Dual sim) and wanted to convert it to either the international version (with htc sense) or the GPE.
However, all the custom ROMs I have tried don't seem to be working. My phone is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked, but it is still S-On. I'm not ready to pay $25 for sunshine since I'm not confident that it will help my situation.
Currently my phone has no operating system according to the bootloader, and I have been unable to boot into any custom ROMs I have installed.
Being the dual sim version, there is next to no stock or custom roms to be found on xda developers, so now all I want is to revert it back to its stock rom. (I stupidly forgot to back things up before flashing custom recovery and custom roms.)
Can anybody out there help me find the file(s) I need? I don't care if I have to live with no google apps, but if someone could help me out there too that would be awesome
Not sure if this info will be useful, but my bootloader says:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***

My Phone's CID is HTCCN703, and I have TWRP v2.7.1.0 installed, since the newer versions didn't work.
I'm relatively a newbie - I've done this rooting/flashing custom rom stuff on 3 or 4 phones before but never ran into any trouble, so help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and I apologise if I'm posting this in the wrong place, or if someone has asked the same/similar question before. If that's the case please direct me there
UPDATE: So after a little further research I've decided to just restore it using an RUU, but I need help finding the correct one to use with my device. Thanks! Feel free to ask for any additional info you need to find the right RUU

Hello everyone!!
I can't remember how long ago I custom flashed my device, but I've had to recently go back to it, and need to clearly update somethings on it (apart from poor performance, I want it to feel new again).
So ... Some help please.
I've tried to put a new HBOOT onto it.
Here are the stats from the bootloader:
***TAMPERED***
*** RELOCKED ***
EVITA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-11111111
HBOOT-1.11.0000

I think what the problem IS is that I flashed it with a rom that now calls the device "EVITA" ... and I don't know how the heck to change it.
If someone could point me in the correct direction, that would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
(Not sure what the custom rom is, but I'm going to guess codenameandroid)
Thank you!
And yes, I'm sure I'm on the HTC One X (Rogers Version)

Hi all, I have an att m8 that and am running sinless rom gpe 4.4.4 and wish to get back to a gpe edition rom, with s-off. Aside from unlocking the bootloader and rooting, I'm not sure how I got here, and I deleted my nandroid backup when I came from sense 4.4.2. Total noob status here.
My goals are to get it back to gpe, with s-off so I can sim unlock the phone as well, in case I sell it for use on tmobile. Even getting back to sense, s-off, and sim unlocked would be great. I'm needing to do it fast, as I may need to trade the device to a tmobile user.
When I converted, I believe I skipped the s-off step, and cannot get it to work with firewater. I'm stuck at which step to take next? I've heard that s-off cant be achieved on certain phones with firewater, however I'm wondering if me skipping a step could be the reason, or that its simply my software/phone version. I dont know if I flashed something that achieved s-off without me knowing, or that it's a regional variant, etc etc.
Here are the details:

FYI, I'm on a mac, and dont have access to a pc, which I assume most of the all-in-one tools exist.
Any help would be appreciated!! I dont have much to offer, inbox invite anyone? Thanks!
First step, try Firewater for s-off... Likely won't work, so try Sunshine.
Then go from there. ?
So I've been around for many years installing custom ROMS's with no problems until now!
I've been running a SlimLP ROM on my M8 for a while but it recently caught my attention that Google Services is using nearly 140GB!!! of data every month trying to update itself! Safe to say my provider T-Mobile/EE 's faire use policy is really starting to voice itself!
I was hoping somebody here could guide me back to just the plain ald Stock ROM, my inner grown up has spoken and just wants a safe reliable phone again. I've been trying to install different RUU's for a few nights now with no luck. Below are my details.

Can anyone provide a RUU link or some help?
Many thanks in advance,
Alex
Running "different" RUUs won't work, unless they match your version's CID (carrier ID) and MID (model ID). And I don't think your version has RUUs.
Head on over to this thread, and ask ckpv5 if he can post the stock nandroid for 2.22.206.6 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
And instruction on how to do so are in the first post of that thread (but you will need the right stock nandroid for your CID version).
ckpv5 is immensely helpful (and I don't know where he gets all these nandroids!) so hopefully he can help you out.
So I've been stuck on Android version 4.4.3 because I converted from stock Sense to the GPE without creating any form of backups.
I'm completely new to the Android system so I have zero background on these kind of things... I've tried looking around for guides so I don't make unnecessary posts but I get hesitant to follow through with them because I'm not sure if my system details will match with other people's.
To make it short, I want to return back to the legitimate stock sense or the latest GPE version for the HTC One M8. Be it just some guidance on where to look or a full on guide, I will greatly appreciate some help.
Some information about my phone, I got this phone from Wind Mobile( A Canadian provider) and my bootloader currently reads:
***TAMPERED***
***UNLOCKED***

simple
first change your CID to super CID don't ask me (just google it)
second install MS C++ 2005-2010 32bit, I will say it again 32BIT
and http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/ download this RUU
and open it in windows connect the phone (power it up to 30%) then flash it
NOTEs:************************************
1-it might not flash just because of the rom (tell me if it did not work)
2-there might be no cellular signals (tell me).
Hi guys.
So i purchased a used M8 from ozmobiles.com and when it came it had some kind of chinese os and a weird recovery on it as well
so i decided to flash with android revolution
these were my steps
unlocked phone using complete guide to flashing and htc dev site
flashed twrp custom recovery
flashed android revolution using twrp
edit: i also made sure to check the md5 checksum on all the files downloaded
according to the logs everything was succesful however when i rebooted i just get stuck in a loop into fastboot
ill type out what the fastboot screen says if its helpful
software status: modified
unlocked

what have i done wrong?
do i possible have a fake m8?
i figured the htc dev site would have picked up on that during the unlock process....
It's not fake M8 but you have a different variant M8_TL which is good only in China.
ROMs here are for M8_UL and they don't work on M8_TL

Okay.
So what do I do next? I read somewhere about being able to change to the europeon version of hboot + fastboot so I can use your roms but i have to S-OFF
any quick guides on this process?
I don't know much about M8_TL and if I am not wrong, it is not possible to change a M8_TL to M8_UL. We only can change variants/regions between M8_UL.
I've heard Soul 2.0 can help me out..? It's a chinese ROM devolped for the M8_tl that has google play services but its pretty hard to locate, if anyone here has heard of it...?
