If it is a true developer edition, you might try backing up, running one of the Developer Edition RUU's to get back to 100% stock, and then see if you can get the OTA update. If this was a conversion, make sure the CID/MID are correct (which requires S-off).

If its truly the Dev Edition, on the stock ROM and stock recovery, you should get OTA.

lock the bootloader and flash then newest RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/ruu-m8-developer-edition-sense-1-54-t2884777
Then simply unlock the bootloader
flash TWRP recovery and SuperSU and a kernel if you need system r/w

Then why did you state in the thread title and OP "stock"?
InsertCoin is a custom ROM and not stock. So you need to return to a stock ROM to install OTA.

1540 is US Dev Edition, and the OP has Euro DE. The RUU likely will not run with incorrect CID, MID. And not sure this is the stock baseline he would want to be on.

Whats a Demo Rom ?
do you have TWRP installed ?
Install this >> http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=One_M8_2.22.401.4_odexed.zip
That will get the phone working and Sunshine should get you s-off

Don't know where you obtained that info, but its false. S-off is not needed to install any ROMs.
If the phone is a demo unit, you should have stated that right away in your top post. On a previous HTC device (One X) I believe the demo unit was very difficult, if not impossible to make fully functioning. But no idea if the same is true for the M8 demo unit you have.

Sounds like you just got some random advice, with an unknown link and flashed it. Why on earth would you do such a thing? Stick to XDA, at least here you can go by reputation (number of thanks, Recongnized Contibutor, or Recognized Dev titles).

As I just said in my last response, you do not need S-off to flash any ROMs. If you want help, you need to start actually paying attention to the help that is being given to you. You are also making it very hard to help you, by not giving enough info, and just leaking it out little by little.
You say you can't flash any other ROMs, but that isn't enough information. What happens when you try to flash? Does it fail with an error message? Or flash successful, but doesn't boot? What other ROMs have you tried?
If you want to return to stock to receive OTAs, you will need to find and flash the appropriate nandroid and stock recovery for our CID. Stock backup collection can be found sticky at the top of the General section. There are also various guides on how to return to stock, if you need them just search.

Rooted, ROM'd, and wondering!

I've just finished rooting and installed a custom ROM on my device, but now I'm looking into S-Off. My question is, how?
I did this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706391
and now I don't have Wi-Fi, which apparently means that my firmware needs to be updated.
How, exactly, does one do that when you're no longer on the service provider it was on?
I'm on T-Mobile now, it was on AT&T. The phone is an AT&T HTC One M8.
I've got the files for Firewater, but I'm not 100% sure how to go about it, other than following tutorials I've found. Anyway, if someone could assist me in this search, it would be greatly appreciated.

Chances are firewater is not going to work, you'll need to use Sunshine S-off (pay 25$), S-off jas nothing to do with carrier
Sunshine: http://theroot.ninja
Firewater instructions: http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/

If I try Firewater, is there a chance to royally mess up my work? I.E. brick me, or will it error out beforehand?

firewater does NOT work. and will never work again. You can own the files but they won't work as it has has to establish a connection to the s-off server which is offline. sunshine is the one and only way. you can read that in the s-off thread here on xda and on their website !
and also questions belong in the Q&A section so please use that board the next time instead of the general subforum.
good luck with sunshine

Theirs a AT&T RUU here >>link removed by request
that will let you flash some roms here, not all
You'll have to relock your bootloader to flash it - fastboot oem lock -
and when your finished updateing unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP and root

Ah, see, this is the info that I couldn't find at all. I had no idea it was server-related, so it wouldn't work. I thought all the files were local, that's why I was investigating. Well, as long as Sunshine will work and not mess anything up, I guess that's what I'm going to have to do. Even though there's another ROM on my phone, I should still be able to use Sunshine and get the firmware updated without any issues, yeah? I would just like to get confirmation from someone who knows my exact situation and not search the forums to a situation "Similar" to mine and eff up my phone.

S-OFF means do as you like, change firmwares, convert to GPE and back to sense. S-OFF is freedom

Okay, here's where I'm at, if anyone would inform me in the direction I should take...
I've unlocked the bootloader, flashed a ROM, and rooted. Wi-Fi doesn't work because I need the newer firmware on the device.
In order to get the newer firmware, I need to have S-Off. I don't. Sunshine doesn't work because the ROM I have flashed is a 5.0.1 version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706391 If it helps.
Can I go digging to find a KitKat-based ROM and see if Sunshine will work then, or do I need to go through the BS to flash stock everything on my phone and THEN run Sunshine? I'd really like some advice before I royally mess something up.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I found this and it looks like something that might work. Flash InsertCoin, download and pay for Sunshine, S-Off, flash firmware, go back to SkyDragon?

You simple need the stockest rom you find.. Best is restore your backup ..make it root and than do s off.. Or flash the rooted stock of mike s thread not arhd ..

Forgive me for asking, but I've searched... Where is this rooted stock one you're talking about?
All right, I've flashed back to as stock as I can find, but it's still not allowing Sunshine to be installed.
However, I've stumbled upon something saying that if the Recovery is fastboot booted, it acts as though the device is S-Off? If I run the recovery in such a manner, could I possibly flash a new Firmware on there like that?

I did it with that one..

Okay, here's an update:
I flashed that ROM you showed me, Alex, and then used Sunshine to S-Off my M8. That worked. I paid for it, all is well.
Flashed the Viper ROM, but didn't have Wi-Fi. So, I went back to SkyDragon, same thing.
I flashed firmware 4.28.401.9 (I think. I did typed that from memory..) but I still have no Wi-Fi.
I'm going to try to flash the GPE firmware now. I'll edit once I get it up and running!
Thanks so much guys! I really appreciate your help!

If your wifi isn't working with ViperOne, then the firmware didn't flash correctly. Go to your bootloader/hboot and check the readout there. What it says under OS is your firmware version. If it is blank it is because of your recovery. TWRP 2.8.0.3 is recommended. You can also tell by the hboot number. 3.19 = 4.4.4 firmware

That's awesome to know. I literally just flashed the GPE firmware, and I think I partitioned properly. (no errors while installing) It's currently doing the first boot.
Flashing that GPE firmware was nerve-racking. It went sooo slow. Here's hoping it goes through! UPDATES TO COME! I'm excited.
UPDATE:
HOLY HNNNNNNNNNNNNNG IT WORKED.
Good LORD I CAN FINALLY DOWNLOAD MY UPDATES.
Please excuse the caps, I'm effing excited right now. THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE.

Nice that you have it working.. Don't forget.. If you want to go back to sense you need the sense firmware.. As the partitions are a bit different.. Btw I'm very happy ? with gpe 5

Right at this point, I don't care to go back to Sense firmware. I'm spoiled by the bright look of SkyDragon, so this is where I'm staying!

[Q] just bought used m8...question

It's running a custom lollipop Rom...if I want to reset this whole thing back to complete stock to get a fresh start...which ruu do I run? It's an Att phone and I know that lollipop isn't official for att yet. The bootloader unlocked and it has s-off. I just didn't want to do anything and risk a brick due to firmware incompatibility or whatever.
Do I need to lock bootloader prior to running ruu?
Thanks...any and all help is appreciated.

Not be a bad guy but check and ready the general section, there are loads of guides that contain the info you need, read up and get familiar with terms and commands, learn fastboot. Then start fiddling with the device.
There are awesome guides but you need to take the time to read them !
And the forum is flooded with the same basic question, there are loads of threads that contain the info too

Thank you but I am very familiar with fast boot and commands and flashing, etc...
I just want to know if I can run the latest ruu for att. It's ruuing backwards and I know I'm some certain situations going backwards can cause firmware issues...I don't want to brick my phone.
Typically with s-off on htc devices I know most things are safe. I will definitely look. Ack at old threads but I'd just appreciate if someone could answer this particular question.
Thanks

And even with s-off its easy to run a at&t ruu, even an older one. Run it and update via official ota again if needed.
Edit :
And as additional advice i can recommend you to look at the AT&T M8 subforum instead of browsing through the international M8 forum. Think you will find some more specific and detailed info there

Is anyone able to assist me with returning to stock recovery from TWRP?

Hi all
Sorry if this is a stupid question - I'm still a rookie to this stuff but I'm getting my head around it now.
I picked up a HTC 10 and I didn't like it very much coming from a HTC One M8 Google Play Edition, I just miss stock android so much. I tried out some other ROMs to see if that would help but it doesn't and I don't want to wait months for an AOSP ROM (if one will ever come) so I am going to get rid of the phone and buy a Nexus device.
It would be ideal if I can return to locked bootloader and go back to stock recovery from TWRP which it currently has. I see HTC has the RUU on their site but its branded USA, is it safe to use on a European phone? Or is there another way I can return to stock recovery and locked bootloader? It's not essential, I'm sure I'll be able to pass it onto a techy friend either way but would be nice to have it as close to how I got it as possible if anyone is able to offer some advice.
Thanks in advance

Hi there. It's not locating the files that I'm struggling with, as I said I'm still a bit of a rookie and was wondering if someone would be willing to help me out with how to use the files. I realize it's a big ask but I figured there's no harm in asking.

You can't use the US Unlocked RUU on the European phone, but there is an RUU for the WWE model (401) here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/stock-stock-collection-recovery-ruu-ota-t3359297
You will never get back to 100% stock unless you spent $25 to S-Off your phone with sunshine, because when you lock your bootloader back, your device will show as RElocked in download and bootloader mode instead of just locked. So...IMO, unless you want to spend the $25 so you can return it, I would just leave it as unlocked and save the next person the hassle of unlocking it.
As for stock recovery, many are available in the thread I linked to above as well.

you need the htc_fastboot.exe file. fastboot.exe can't handle files this large.
Here is the link to download
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8OH6sFjVE1lVG9JUE1yR0lTckk
copy this to fastboot folder.
command is the same, just add htc_ in front of fastboot

If you're on Lollipop, you can use sunshine to unlock and flash away. If on MM, you have to downgrade to LP, and then use sunshine to unlock (this is a cost of 25 USD). There is a thread for the downgrade here in the Verizon forum. As for a rom, I highly recommend LeeDroid, as he makes roms for all M9s, and he is based out of the UK. For that, just go to the HTC One M9 main forum, not the Verizon forum. I'm currently running it and it is fantastic.
Edit: Sorry, totally somehow thought you were locked. Anyway, just make sure you have the latest TWRP and flash any rom you want, but you'll find more activity here:

Roms based on stock (I recommend for stability, signal, and camera) are under "One (M9) Android Development."

Here's the link for the rom which has instructions for for installation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/rom-leedroid-one-m9-v7-0-0-rc1-march-t3068468
I can't remember off the top of my head if your recovery is new enough (I believe it is), but here is the thread for TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3066720
If you don't feel comfortable rebooting your phone into different modes and doing some command prompt codes, I'm not sure I'd recommend doing any of this though. Make sure you do your research and read, read, read. Maybe even search YouTube for examples of people flashing TWRP and such.

thank you sending the phone back, will buy a uk version
