Unable to restore to stock after OTA? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently took the newest AT&T OTA update even after flashing the stock recovery and unrooting, but it which got me soft bricked on the splash screen. I immediately backed up system and data in TWRP and decided to flash a GPE rom. I'm unable to restore data without having Sense --> GPE issues and I want to completely restore to stock. I'm S-On and tried relocking the bootloader and running HTC's AT&T RUU, but that told me my system version wasn't compatible. I really just want to go back to stock and have a working phone rather than run this barebones GPE rom. I was thinking the CID being CWS__01 has something to do with my issues, but I'm not positive. I'd run a nandroid backup, but I can't find one for my CID. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know there are a bunch of these threads, but none of them match my odd CID. I'm on TWRP 2.8.1.0. Thanks so much!

EDIT: Just tried the RUU from here http://www.droidviews.com/restore-att-htc-one-m8-stock-firmware/. Image version is listed as 4.28.502.2 and when I run the RUU it says it's being set to Image version 1.58.502.1. I get Error [140] Bootloader Version Error when running the RUU. I realized I'm trying to flash an old RUU, so I'm going to try the 4.28.502.2 one I just found.
Solution:
http://dl3.htc.com.s3.amazonaws.com...40.45.C33065.00_F_release_446225_signed_2.exe worked properly and let me reset my phone after the OTA messed it up. For anyone with the issue of being S-On and having a bricked phone, relock your bootloader and use this RUU.

[Q] Trouble getting back to stock on German One m8

Hello xda-Community!
First off, I have posted this a couple of weeks ago in the general help thread, however it quickly got swarmed and lost, so I wanted to try again.
I have run into some trouble with my O2 HTC One M8. First, my readout from fastboot:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.16.0.0000

(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: ab0efa49
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
all: Done!
I have been running CM11 for some months and am pretty happy with it, but I want to upgrade to Lollipop. However, the phone won't let me do that, as hboot is only version 3.16.0.0000 and Lollipop needs 3.19 (apparently). The version_main is empty for some reason, I did not erase that part.
But now comes the kicker: To upgrade hboot, I need to return to stock (or set the CID to SuperCID), right?
Now, I cannot return to stock, because there is no RUU / nandroid backup for my CID (O2___102).
As I don't have S-OFF, I cannot install any other RUU. To get S-OFF with SunShine, I need to be on stock though, because right now I get the following error message: "Your device has a debuggable ramdisk (ro.debuggable=1). You need to flash a non-debuggable boot.img, stock would be best."
So basically: I need to get back to stock to go back to stock, or am I reading this wrong?
Is there a way out of this?
In the general help thread, someone said I should flash a ROM close to stock (he/she suggested Maximus HD) for this to go away, but I cannot flash any ROM besides the CM11 one I am already on, as none of the other ROMs allow me to boot - I simply get stuck during boot-up and have to reflash CM11 to use the phone.
The recovery I am using is TWRP 2.7.0.2 if that information is necessary or helpful.
Thanks in advance for anybody who can help me.
Have you try stock nandroid backup 1.54.206.5 or 1.12.206.17 from this thread ?

Well god damn it. I had tried those but apparently, they got corrupted in the download. Just tried again (from my laptop) and it worked marvellously. Thank you for your reply!

several months ago I have unlocked my phone, reset it to factory several times and in general just tried out installing custom recoveries to ultimately install a custom rom.
I eventually stopped before flashing a custom rom.
A few days ago I started really trying again and I have noticed that i can not install any custom roms without updating my firmware first.
My current version is 1.41.5 and i run android 4.4.2, way too outdated to do anything.
The real problem is that even relocking the bootloader, resetting to factory settings and trying to manually flash a firmware update it will not work.
I am stuck. There is no stock rom available for my third party german carrier anywhere on the internet. (Mobilcom Debitel)
It appears it is impossible to get back the bloatware that came with the phone which is required to update, right?
I don't know how to proceed at this point.
Is there any thing I can do?
Would going s-off help?
I would be very appreciative of any help you guys can give me.
I read in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Q : Can i apply an official HTC OTA on my stock rooted rom?
A : Yes but the system apps (carrier branded apps included) has to be 100% intact.
There seems to be no way to get the carrier brand apps for me. Is there a different way?
Edit: If I achieve s-off, would that be a way around my issue?
With your current knowledge base S-OFF would surely lead to a brick. I would wait on that. You need to return to stock recovery, take your carriers OTA's of which there will be at least three or four, then you will be able to install any current ROM. Search return to stock thread for a 1.54.xxx recovery for your CID.

First of all, delete the IMEI from your post. Never put that on a public forum.
Yes, S-Off would be a way, but the safest would be to run an RUU to update. Hook your phone up to your PC, and get into fastboot.
Download the 4.16.401.10 WWE RUU from here.
When the download if finished, double click it, and follow the prompts.
When it's finished, turn on your phone, go through the setup, and enjoy Lollipop.
Make sure to back up anything that is important to you, because this will wipe your phone.
Thank you for the replies, I will report on my success once I have tried what you have proposed, thanks!

Which RUU file I need to install

I changed the screen on my HTC One M8 and now the phone gets stuck on the HTC One splash screen. Ive treble checked all connections and for damage and cant see anything. I tried Factory reset, but its just gets stuck at Andriod is starting after updating all the apps. My only option seems to be install ruu? Could someone tell me which ruu I should use please?

We need RUU, which i couldnt find, you dont need to worry about Firmware, we just have to find RUU for Vodafone UK, even if it's 5.0.2, or 4.4.4, don't care, cause we can use OTA to update if the phone is 100% stock.
this one any good no?
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934518148
It's 401 for European unlocked, we need vodafone uk161
if I unlock the bootloader, do I still need to have usb debugging enabled in the settings before I can install twrp and an nandriod backup?
i dont think so, u can check forums noob friendly guides

M8 T-MOB101 RUU needed

Hi,
Gods and gurus of flashing I need your help on getting my M8 on T-MOB101 back to life. I've been trying update it to marshmallow and (long story short) I'm currently looking at empty flash wit only access to fastboot and ability to install/use TWRP.
Can someone supply me with a source of an RUU that will bring me back to stock? Sadly I'm S-ON with no access to the system obv.
Is there any other way to get it back to life?
Please help

Thanks
So I recently went back to stock so that I could update to MM via t-mobile OTA (I am S-ON as well). So what I did was to first find a stock version of the ROM and recovery I was running when I loaded TWRP onto it, this is key.
Because custom roms don't update firmware you need to go back to a un-rooted stock ROM. Once you find it, you also need to match the recovery to the firmware to the ROM. All 3 must match or it won't work.
So I installed the ROM and rebooted to fastboot (note: do not install su), and then I installed the stock recovery via fastboot. Booted up and did a basic setup of the phone (updating software etc), and then once it was done I did the OTA and prayed. Because of my lack on knowledge it took me a couple a tries, mainly because the recovery I first installed was 1 version newer than what the ROM or firmware was.
Once done, I had to dev-unlock again. I now keep a copy for myself of the original recovery and initial stock backup.
Hope this helps

I'm not sure what I can do with my s-off phone...!

I did post a week or so ago about installing an RUU and the S-off status of my phone. I've since unlocked the bootloader using HTC-Dev, and have flashed TWRP with the aim of installing a custom ROM. TWRP flashed fine but won't load. I really have no idea what I can do from here. I've tried flashing earlier versions but they still won't load. My getvar all info - minus the IMEI - is:

It seems you have a pre-production unit.
Try to update it to current firmware level - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
Then install latest TWRP, then install any custom rom that you like.
Thanks for the info! I followed the steps but the RUU 0P6BIMG_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_HTC_Europe_6.12.401.4_Radio_1.29.214500021.12G_20.72.4196t.01_release_464360_signed.zip
wouldn’t flash. I then tried flashing a firmware.zip 6.12.401.4 from this link:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aNd_nm4Em1wamRLFT7qHM2c3O9_sg_H3ztBrGq1u9Ws/pubhtml
zipped with TWRP which was successful and enabled me to flash the latest TWRP v 3.2.3.0, but I wasn’t able to flash Lineage 14.1 with the error “Failed to mount ‘/carrier’ (invalid argument).
Is this a partition issue? Or something else maybe?
I actually installed an S-team marshmallow ROM which flashed fine. I was then able to wipe and flash Lineage 14.1 Nougat. Not sure why, but maybe too big a gap between kit kat & nougat, bridged by marshmallow. Very un-technical I know, I'm sure there's a reason why.

Probably would have made sense to try the RUU again, after flashing the firmware. Hard to say, since you didn't give details on how the RUU failed.
