ok my problem is i'm stuck i can't update my firmware and because of that i can't flash the latest ROMs ...everything was easy for me when i was on M7 i able to S-off and update my firmware easily
but now every thread i enter the first rule is YOU SHOULD BE S-OFF!
i tried this guide [GUIDE] How to add root access & and keep official OTA updates | 3.28.401.7
but my screen won't pass the first HTC logo boot even though i can hear second logo boot sound and even my phone will enter system normally but my screen will be stuck on first boot logo

For your software version 1.54.401.5 (provided that is your current firmware, means you do have the Intl EU WWE CID), you don't really need S-Off
So... first confirm your what your CID is. If it is EU WWE then ....
Your options :
1. Restore stock ROM 1.54.401.5 then install the matching stock recovery then do multiple OTA up to 3.28.401.6 or 3.28.401.7 whichever is available for your CID. Then reflash custom recovery then you can flash any latest custom Sense ROM that you want. (In any case, you don't need to relock bootloader)
Check this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
2. relock bootloader then flash in RUU mode the untouched higher version firmware. But you may need to flash many firmware step by step to follow the increase firmware no. and it's not easy to find all the related untouched firmware and this is a bit complicated for newbies so I suggest you go to option 1.

1. Are you sure that's the correct backup ? You mentioned earlier your stock ROM is 4.4.2 which is should be 1.54.401.5 or 1.54.401.10
Post result of fastboot getvar all (delete serial no. & imei no.) to determine the correct version.
2. You need to replace the TWRP that you installed with a stock recovery.img
OTA needs stock recovery.img not TWRP.img
Can't use TWRP for OTA update, use only stock recovery​

Thanks 4 the help

You can't proceed OTA installation with custom recovery.
You need stock recovery for your device current version (check in settings - about - software information for the number) or the one for targetted OTA.
Get the stock recovery here :

i don't understand, i need the stock recovery to do OTA, i get that, but i only need to know which recovery version ihave to install and not bootloop the phone with lollipop

I mentioned - (check in settings - about - software information for the number)
get that number then find the stock recovery with that no. in the thread that I linked.
Make sure your current ROM in a non-rooted ROM with nothing changed in system.

The software version is 4.24.709.2, and now?

Do I have to repeat what I already said two times above ?
find the stock recovery with that no. in the thread that I linked.
So download that 4.24.709.2 stock recovery that you can find on post #4
That's all that I can help ... I don't want to repeat many times what I already posted when I first respond to your post... so good luck.

Intriguingly, this is the second thread in the last couple days where someone with HTC__621 as their CID can't get back to stock. I'm with ckpv5, please re-read what he wrote.
(But I can't help but wonder if there's something specific about this CID? Or just coincidence?)

But now i need to unroot it. I mean revert it back to stock. I have been searching the internet for almost a week now and not finding anything except http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/help-returning-phone-to-stock-eli5-t3247725 but even in this i'm not able to find required files.
My phone has following specifications:

What you can try :
Install TWRP 2.8.7.0, make a backup of your current ROM
Restore 4.18.720.8 backup and 4.18.720.8 stock recovery then do OTA to 4.18.720.10

Will i be able to restore 4.18.720.8 backup on 4.18.720.10??
Also i'm not able to downlaod from mega.co.nz. Can you provide me any alternate download link?

Are you in India ? You need to use VPN to download because ISP in India block Mega site.

Well thank you for fast reply sir. I am in india but that's not a problem. The PC does'nt download from mega site and the file is too large to download through phone.
One more thing, I have 3.35.720.1 recovery image (14.22MB)...
If i downloaded the third file from this list; androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=24511. Can i do something then.. the CID is also HTC_038.
If i can, then how? Using above steps you provided or something else?

No, 3.35.720.1 won't work for OTA because that's more than one version lower than your current one.
You only can use either 4.18.720.8 or 4.18.720.10
Try to contact 4.18.720.8 backup owner and see whether he can help you.
Also ask him whether he has 4.18.720.10 backup (I believe he has one).
If there is one, use 4.18.720.10 instead of 4.18.720.8

Ah! i also have ROM Update Utility, but i don't know whether it'll work on my phone or not so i didn't tried it yet... RUU_M8_UHL_L50_SENSE60_MR_hTC_Asia_India_4.18.720.8_Radio_1.24.21331147A1.09G_20.68.4196.01_F_release_417228_signed.exe

I got it
Hey friend, first of all i'd like to thank you for all your help. i think i got it back to Stock but not sure though.
I re-locked the bootloader then using PC i installed
RUU_M8_UHL_L50_SENSE60_MR_hTC_Asia_India_4.18.720.8_Radio_1.24.21331147A1.09G_20.68.4196.01_F_release_417228_signed.exe and when the phone rebooted.. i didn't find Super SU and when i rebooted into bootloader, i saw this:
Software Status: Official
RELOCKED
however my software is now 4.18.720.8 instead of 4.18.720.10 but that's no problem at all.
Now you tell me,
am i back to Stock?
is my phone unrooted now?
how can i install the latest update, using software update or do i have to find the RUU for that?
How do i myself take a stock backup since TWRP is removed.

1. Yes but one version lower
2. Yes
3. Settings - about - software update
4. Unlock bootloader with your unlock_code.bin that you got from htcdev then install TWRP 2.8.7.0
then do backup

if i unlocked bootloader, wouldn't that make the software modified or phone rooted?
And the backup which i will take, will that be a Stock Backup i.e fully unrooted, official software, etc
Also how can i take stock recovery backup? i mean recovery.img

unlocked bootloader - software modified, yes. Phone rooted, no. Root or not to root is your choice nothing to do with unlock bootloader.
If a backup made before you root the phone, yes that will be unrooted official software stock backup (just like those you can see in my thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860)
When you do OTA, before install OTA, copy the OTA zip from internal storage/downloads folder to PC. Open it with 7-zip, open firmware.zip then extract out recovery.img - this is the stock recovery.img (that's how I get all the recovery.img in my thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860)
You already managed to get back to stock after you spent a week to find how to do it ... so anything further that you need to know, all the info are available on xda like how to unlock, how to root, how to backup & etc .. just use the search function, you'll get the info. The same way how I gave you links .. I use the search function. I believe you can do this on your own.
Good luck.

Help request

Hi , I cannot restore any ruu on my m8s
M8s
Boot relocked, stock recovery s-on
Cid orang001
Found the ruu for this cid is the one with orange UK
Tried aru flash ,not work, tried sdcars method , doesn't work
Tried to flash with latest twrp,unlocked boot and latest supersu, doesnt work
Tries crypted,unencrypted all kind of ruu,s it doesn't work
Can anyone explain wtf to do please?
My radio is the one with @6xxx something

I saw you opened may thread ... and almost no one respond to your request for help.
One thing .. you don't really explain what your problem is. One time you said your device was on bootloop after flashed SuperSU. I tried to help but I don't get what your problem is. You installed TWRP 2.8.6.0 meant for M8s (I hope) and installed SuperSU 2.76. Instead of getting a report whether you manage to boot or not, you asked ...
Ok installed fresh twrp 2.8.6.0 , latest super su , now wich ruu i have to install lol this is my var​
So what actually happened ?
Let me try to help you for one more time....
There is no RUU available for your current firmware and there is nothing much you can do with a S-On device ... for temporary fix to at least have a working phone ....
1. unlocked bootloader
2. install twrp-recovery-2.8.6.0-m8s-qlul.img - never use TWRP meant for regular M8, won't work on M8s
3. Download the 2.10.401.1 TWRP backup from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67192365&postcount=1
4. Extract the Stock MM TWRP.zip and place the content to your TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo/
5. Restore the backup in TWRP ... you should have a booting device
Then you can wait until the RUU for your device is available.
(I have no idea what the firmware no. is ... if not I can try to search for the RUU)

ty ill give it a try , the problem my cid is ORANG001 and the thing is that only rom , ruu or whatever is i can install is the cyanogenmod and i dont like it i prefer my stock rom wich is mm 6.0 i think

You should already made your own stock backup before you start to mess with your device.
So when something goes wrong, you can always recover.
That backup that I linked above is stock Marshmallow.

OK , if anyone get error to copy the system_image.emmc.win to backups due to large image , you have to boot in a rom first and than you can copy it. i couldnt copy it until i booted in cyanogen.

Thanks for the intention but donation is not needed.
Better if you can spend 25$ to S-Off the device then you can install that lower version orang001RUU but do this only if you need the orang001 ROM.
If you're happy with current ROM, no need to spend 25$ to S-Off
