Restore to stock from GPE

purchased my phone T-mobile M8 used and it had been converted to GPE. There is a crackling issue with the top speaker and I'd like to return it for warranty repair. I haven't seen a great thread on converting a tmo m8 back to stock from GPE so I thought I'd share the research I have done and ask for help since I have not been successful yet...
With adb/fastboot, drivers, etc all in place...
Reset Status to LOCKED (phone must be rooted to do this)

Download the RUU

Run the RUU in Windows. Everything connects and it starts installing then - I get the Error 159 [IMAGE]
I have followed the steps above, downloaded twice, repeated and still...no dice. Any clue what I'm missing? I'm sure there will be other folks who need to revert and would benefit from this.

is this a known bug or something else ?
thanks in advance

Yes its because of a custom recovery "bug". Reflash the (original) firmware and check for the changed TWRP recovery which should fix that the main doesn't disappear

oh thanks....
since i noticed that you are the O.P of this thread that i was reading before discovering the bug Collection of Stock Backups
let me ask another question, can i just put one of those stock backups on my sdcard and flash it trough philz recovery?
i'm on 1.54.401.5 Root S-OFF and unlocked bootloader
i want to flash this "2.22.401.5 - CWM Philz touch Thanks to MATRIKS"
is it correct ?

[Q] Missing main version, not sure which stock backup to flash?

So I'm trying to upgrade my phone to the new 4.4.4 firmware so that I can flash the new venom rom 3.x (currently on Paranoid Android Beta 4) but whenever I use fastboot getvar all, the main version is missing as shown below. So I have no clue which stock backup to flash (found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376). I tried flashing 1.54.401.5 based on my CID and boot but TWRP gives me an error every time I flash. Would appreciate some help in regards to which stock backup to flash.

Nvm, misread what you said. I don't know how to fix it, sorry.

Try one of the 1.12 backups too. 3.16 HBoot was for either the 1.12 or the 1.54 both fell in that HBoot. What error does TWRP give you? It doesn't help you saying it gives an error but you don't say what the error is, how do you expect us to help you then? Should we get out our glass ball and look for the answer in there?

No wifi no network...

Hi everyone, I have a HTC One M8 locked on SFR (France)
The phone was on stock Rom but I changed it to Custom Rom and unlocked the bootloader but I had this issue with networks : no wifi, no data..., so I returned to Stock Rom but nothing changed.

but it's weird, the version-main field is empty
Maybe it's the reason of the problem?
I already tried to flash the stock recovery for VODAP203 (Vodafone FR).
Thanks for you help

TWRP made the main version disappear. Check the general section - collection of backups and firmwares. Read there and put 1+1 together. Take your bootloader number 3.16 and your cid vodap203 and match a backup from the list. My guess it starts with 1.12 or 1.54. Restore it and also flash back the matching stock recovery and then update

Thanks for your reply, I checked the files you said here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
but no one match with the bootloader or the cid number.
And what do you mean about : "Read there and put 1+1 together" ?

That was about the bootloader and cid. With those 2 you can determine the software number. Don't see your actual cid present but you can try it with the 161 backup
Take the 1.54.161 and try it with that one. No harm can be done in trying

Tried to install VemonOne and now have a messed up phone with no OS

Ok, i tried to install VenonOne, it installed first time but my wifi didnt work, so i searched around and found out i needed to update my firmware, which needed S-off, which i cant becuase i dont have the money for sunshine. and problem after problem and following half arsed tutoials online solved nothing. i can only go to bootloader and recovery. not sure what to do,
i have twrp installed
Im a D*ck head and didnt make a backup becuae it 'looked easy enough'
any help would be great. would like to be using venomone but atm any os will do

Thanks guys

You probably realize it at this point; but my rule of thumb is always make a backup before flashing anything (or at a minimum, have a known good backup or known good ROM ready to flash). Its got nothing to do with how "easy" a process is. Things can go wrong even with the simplest mods, to the most knowledgeable users, and even if you do nothing wrong.
You don't need s-off to update your firmware.
Either run a Lollipop (or Marshmallow) RUU intended for your CID (relock bootloader in order to RUU). Keeping in mind that this will wipe the phone.
Alternately (such as if there is no RUU for your version), restore a stock ROM that corresponds to your current firmware, restore corresponding stock recovery. Then do OTA update, which will also update your firmware.
After updating the firmware by either of the 2 above methods, just flash TWRP back onto the phone (in case of the RUU method, you'll need to unlock the bootloader again, before you can flash TWRP) and flash your custom ROM of choice.
If you do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial numbers) we can offer some more specific assistance.

thanks for taking your time to help,
