I have an AT&T HTC M8, I believe it is on 4.4.2, and I tried flashing ARHD and got the dreaded no wi-fi problem, and I can't figure out for my life which firmware to use that will let me use wi-fi. I've been looking through the internet since 2 AM this morning, so any help would be great.

I'm stuck at the "4. Boot into hboot and READ, INTERNALIZE, & then EXECUTE and let it update its firmware."
How do I read, internalize, and execute it? The directions for this are very scattered.
Im assuming your phone is S-OFF?
Before this, was your phone updated by any OTA's? This is just to confirm that you were on 4.4.2.
I am S-off, but yes, firewater told me I took an OTA (must have happened before I bought the phone) so I had to use Sunshine or whatever, now I'm S-off and don't know what to do next.

When you reboot the phone to bootloader you'll notice a couple of options that you can select one of them is "HBOOT" I think it's written in blue.
Select it with the volume up or down key and press power to go in, it'll then show a scrolling of I think it's green text where it's looking for files on sd card. It should pick up your renamed firmware file and give you option to update with it.
Hmm, I moved the renamed file (renamed to 0P6BIMG.zip) to external SD through TWRP, but when I go into Hboot, it doesn't do anything. I feel like it's something obvious.

Maybe try and move it to internal storage. Check that it's named correctly, a ZERO (0) and not a O <Capital o... Make sure it's .zip and not .zip.zip else...
Do it manually with mike1986.'s flash guide.
Can I get a link to that?

Well that's logical isn't it? AT&T doesn't use x.xx.401.x. Even if you do flash the latest 3.x firmware on your device you'll probably have problems seeing as the radio's are different.
Rather go with the Developer Edition 3.x firmware. AT&T and Dev Edition share same radio, MID etc. It's the 3.28.1540.5 firmware you can find it in the OTA zip collection.
OTA ZIP COLLECTION
Just download the OTA and extract the firmware.zip file from the OTA.zip. If you flash the 3.28.401.x you might have issues with LTE etc

Just make sure you flash it twice without leaving the RUU flash screen.

I want to apply the Lollipop update but need the stock recovery for my current firmware (3.32.206.9). This is for an HTC One M8 with O2 UK branding. Does anyone have this version of the stock recovery available?

Download the ota, install later, take out the firmware.zip out of of the ota.zip.....then open the firmware.zip and take out the recovery.img and flash it. Then apply the ota again.

I've been hearing people say that firmwares should always be flashed in increments. I went from 3.32.206.9 straight to 4.16.401.10. Is that too much of a jump. How do I know what firmwares are in between?
Thanks.
Ps. I was s-off and supercid if that means something.
Means nothing in this instance as you've gone from the o2 build to unbranded EU build, and 3.x to 4.x is the next incremental step
It only matters if you're doing the OTAs in order as they have to be done one at a time as each one requires the previous version to be present to patch
Hi ! the tittle says it all, I'm on cm13 right now so unlocked bootloader and twrp on. How can I flash the new firmware without going the S-off route ??? Sorry for noobness !
you cant.. I my self am in the same boat i think im going to pay the man 25 or 30 w.e it is to get s-off on my AT&T model so i can enjoy the new update.

Edit: those links for getting ur device in stock state not flashing MM firmware but i found it useful to share
The linked instructions are obsolete since the backups they were made for do not exist anymore. The updated instructions and the revised backups can be found in my google sheet (a link is in my signature).
But be informed that there is no official MM update for other versions of the M9 than the developer and the unlocked US version. If you want MM on any of the other models you need either S-OFF, sneakyghosts firmware package and the latest Viper rom or S-OFF and all files found in clsA's instructions for converting your M9 to a developer edition.
the Only way to back is flash RUU.and the cid must same and RUU's version must equal or higher than your M9 have

The bootloader only gets locked if you relock it with fastboot. (And because many people here seem to be missinformed: There is no need to relock if you want to install OTAs or flash a RUU.zip. The only things that don't work with S-ON and an unlocked bootloader are using a RUU.exe and flashing official firmware packs with fastboot.)

OK so I know I'm late to upgrading to marshmallow but i haven't gotten it to work on my htc one m9. may carrier is AT&T. Before the marshmallow update was released, I rooted and installed viper one on my m9 in hopes of recieving the update quicker. When Marshmallow was released, I was able to flash new marshmallow roms successfully, but my phone would never boot into the rom. It would always send me back to the bootloader. I realized that I would need a firmware update in order to run marhsmallow successfully, but I am having trouble updating the firmware. Since i rooted my phone and have a custom recovery and custom rom, I am no longer receiving OTA updates from htc. How will I be able to update the firmware manually. Also my phone is S-On, if that makes a difference.
Thanks for the help.

Ok so i found the correct RUU file. sku 502 firmware 2.11.502.18. thats what it says on my phone in download mode. once i flash this ruu I will have the stock htc rom and be able to recieve ota upgrades for marshmallow, correct?
Correct. Alternatively you could extract the RUU.zip from the latest 502 M9 RUU.exe which can be found on HTC's website and flash it with the instructions in the readme thread. A guide for the extraction is linked in the RUU section of the readme thread, as well. This was you wouldn't need to install the OTAs.

Can you please download the latest 502 RUU from HTC's website, extract the *.zip file with the instructions that are linked in the readme thread and flash the *.zip as you did with the 2.x one?

So it's time to update to oreo firmware first.
You need the ruu that matches the OS line in download mode. Not all x.xx.118 ruu files will work. If you have a S-ON device that is. Check the number and post it here so we can have a look.

you restore your OS to stock by flashing it, after that reboot and install the official htc OTA and you are on oreo.
