my problem is i got my 4.16.401.13 update come through a few weeks ago for my htc one m8, and overtime i install it i get stuck on the white htc one boot up screen, then have to go back to the previous firmware.
i am not rooted but do have a unlocked boot loader, super cid and s off, I've updated like previously and it hasn't been the problem not sure if this is causing it or not, btw i did use TWRP to restore the previous build.

Hi,
I've always been using CyanogenMod11 on my HTC One M8 since the day I got it.
But recently I wasn't fully satisfied with it so I wanted to flash a new ROM and simultaneously upgrade to Lollipop. I really didn't want to use HTC Sense so I figured that SkyDragon Google Play Edition would be a good option. I read through the whole post and flashed Philz Touch 6.25.5 since it was the recommended recovery.
The first boot took pretty long but seemed fine. But during the setup I realized the Wi-Fi is not working. Since I read in the F.A.Q. of SkyDragon that that's a common issue I guessed it wouldn't be much trouble.
Now, sadly, I did not make a backup of my completely stock HTC One M8 so I couldn't just update to the latest OTA. So I tried to S-off it but the compatibility-tests of SunShine said the ROM has to be closer to stock. Then I flashed the storc ROM from here and ran SunShine again, this time with positive results. But when it had to restart the phone during the process of S-off'ing it got stuck in a bootloop. Wiping cache and dalvik did nothing, only completely flashing a ROM again did.
Now everytime I flash a ROM the initial boot works but from then I can't just reboot because I always get stuck in a bootloop.
So, I got SkyDragon and it seems to be working just fine, except for the Wi-Fi, the bootloops and I still don't have S-off. I guess that fixing the bootloop might be the first step so I can S-off and manually flash the latest GPE L firmware.

You know you can RUU right??? That'll get you back to stock, and upgrade to the latest version.
Your first problem with WiFi was possibly because you needed to update your Firmware.
Just get the latest Lollipop FW and flash through fastboot. As the above guy mentioned, that'll more than likely fix your wifi issues. If you get the Lolli FW with Hboot/stock recovery then you'll lose all your data and recovery but you can reflash that easily. Try to find one without Hboot/stock recovery and you'll be good to go.
Why everyone is replying to OP that 2 & 1/2 months old ? OP was the first post and he never come back to XDA to post further

Hi there,
This is my first thread here, so sorry if anything in this post is not correctly.
I got the following problem: I installed CM12.1 on my HTC One M8S (M8_QL_UL) but now i want to go back to stock. I bought the phone at Amazon (Germany) and it was sold as unbranded.
However when I tried to flash the stock firmware (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general/make-custom-recovery-htc-one-m8s-t3114245) over Hboot it told me "wrong CID" and Large Image Fail.
Then I got myself the phone's CID and it came out that it was not the HTC Europe Version (I tried to install the Europe build with Android MM as I had that one before) but the T-Mobile-DE version.
So the problem is, that there is a firmware for the T-Mobile-DE one, but it is still Sense 6 with Lollipop and so I am not able to install that, since I already have had MM with sense 7 on that phone before.
Now I cannot find a MM build for the T-Mobile CID online.
Beside of that I created a Backup with TWRP before flashing CM12.1 but now TWRP does not recocnize that backup.
If possible I would prefer to install the Stock Rom "clean" because my backed up one was very buggy anyway.
So my question is, how can I get back to Stock? Is there any proper build to download? If not, is it possible to get S-Off for that phone, to change CID? Sunshine does not appear to be working for the M8S...
And if nothing like this works, how can I access my backup with TWRP?
Thank you so much, hopefully anyone could help me!
Cheers, Fietipaldi
Im in the same situation but for Vodafone. We need some updated RUUs on the site
Just got this phone about a week a ago, and figured I'd check out rooting it and such. And figured out this phone didn't have a stock recovery when I got it but boot loader was never unlocked until I did it. Now I have twrp on a stock rooted nandroid backup android 4.4.2. Can't do a OTA to lollipop says I have a variant system. My cid doesn't match there system update sent to the phone lmfao. And no ruu matched my phone found in these forums.
The reasoning I need this firmware is I'm having touch screen. Issues such as mirrored touches sometimes. Other times the phone will run good. Can't run lollipop roms or marshmallow cause my firmware isn't updated for it smh. I messaged HTC about this and sent a request to there team in charge and will give me an update in 7-10 business days.
Try to keep this as short as possible. Got 2 New in box HTC One m9s from ebay.
First one white came with unbranded android 6. It wants to OTA update but always fails. From about info it is a 617 variant. We will lets this ride for a bit...
Second one is the real problem. It came with 5.1 and wanted to OTA update but the update crashed phone, only rebooting to download mode. The only official HTC RUU that worked to restore it was the android 6 ATT Cingular US RUU. It now thinks it is a 502 variant.
I have unlocked the bootloader via htcdev. It reports status: Modified / unlocked / s-on. Not sure why the modified if was the official RUU from HTC download page.
I would like to have a unbranded android 7 as AOSP as possible. But possible due to security KEY changes by htc between versions. I can not get any RUU or zip file on SDcard to install.
I have read and read before posting. The TWRP section here says the info is out of date and could cause a boot loop. The wrong SuperSU can cause a boot loop.
Where/What info can I use to get this phone into shape at this point in time?
Update. I "got some guts" and went ahead with the TWRP install per the READ ME thread and that worked.
I installed a newer (recommended) SuperSU and that boot looped the phone.
So I picked a GSM (ATT) android 7 sense 8 rom and wiped and installed. Almost 20 minutes later the loops stopped and BINGO! working phone.
Installed the SuperSU and that worked.
Current state is unlocked, S-ON any reason to SUNSHINE for S-off at this point?
Do not like the ATT stuff. So the new question is: What is the most AOSP unbranded ROM you might recommend to me?
Thanks!
FYI: I used to hang out here a lot in the HTC fuze days.
The most vanilla rom here would be LOS 15.1 and LOS 16.
The Lineage builds are the offspring of Cyanogenmod.
Both threads are in the original development section, and both are under development.
Take a look.....and happy flashing....g
