I assume, that a HTC-Stock ROM is installed on your htc one m8. NO Custom ROM and NO Custom HBoot! <- IMPORTANT
Root doesn't matter for an OTA Update.
But you have to flash the Stock Recovery that matches with your ROM Base and Relock the Bootloader.
First you must Backup your device including Internal Storage, because of the Factory Reset that happen when you Unlock the Bootloader again!
You can find here a collection of Stock Recovery
COLLECTION of Stock backup's by Mr Hofs
And you shut use this Toolkit to Relock the Bootloader and to Unlock it again after the OTA.

Menu -> Commands->Relock Bootloader. You have to be in fastboot USB Mode first, to do that.
After that you can receive and install a OTA for HTC.

As far as I know, you can't receive a OTA Update with Super CID 111111.
It won't flash, because of the "android-info" in the OTA Update File.
The "android-Info" contains the CID that can receive the OTA, otherwise it won't flash. to avoid that the device receives a wrong OTA.
You must set it to the original Provider CID that matches with your Stock ROM.
In your case, I think:
modelid: 0P6B16000
cidnum: TELUS001
just install a custom rom...

Incorrect, SuperCID bypasses all CID checks. I was pretty sure already as this was the case on my OneXL, but for the sake of giving the correct information, I just restored a Rogers TWRP backup, flashed rogers stock recovery extracted from the rogers OTA, changed my CID to 11111111 and ran the OTA from stock recovery. As per my sig, I am not even using a rogers phone.
Ran just fine.
Does rooting and s-off affect performance at all on the m8?

No. Just gives you the opportunity to tweak it more to your needs.

on another note I am new to this whole root thing and was wondering about going back to stock or at least a step by step way to get the ota update on my rooted m8. I can't seem to find it on the forum, I very well could be blind lol so I apologize
thank you
What you need to do an OTA:
Stock Recovery
Stock Rom
Stock CID or SuperCID
Can I keep root!?!? Yes, you can!
As it stands there is no RUU (Rom Update Utility) to easily return to stock SO If one does not have the stock rom installed, one must restore a stock nandroid and manually flash stock recovery/
Stock Rom Nandroid backups and Recoveries courtesy of Mr Hofs
This collection assumes you know your CID. If you don't know it, check it! Boot to fastboot then use the command: fastboot oem readcid
What can you do if you don't have your nandroid and it isn't listed there? You can request someone from the same carrier with a stock nandroid upload theirs within that thread.
Once you have the nandroid, it's simply a matter of putting the nandroid in the appropriate folder for your custom recovery, booting to said recovery and restoring the nandroid.
Where nandroids should be placed:
TWRP: \sdcard\TWRP\backups\
Philz Touch: \sdcard\clockworkmod\backups\
Once you have the nandroid restored, you will need to flash stock recovery. If you know the stock recovery version you should be using, you can download them on that same thread. It is also possible to extract the recovery from the OTA zip file should you have access to it. (You can use the stock rom you restored to download the OTA then extract it and the firmware.zip file within and then flash the recovery.img)

Then you can boot to stock recovery and flash the OTA.zip

I never tried it with Super CID, to install an OTA.
In the most Tutorials that I've found it was recommended to set the original CID.
But good to Know that it works.
At least it's safer to set the original CID, in that case.

I am on SuperCID and flashed everything to 1.54.401.5.
Everything stock.
I tried flashing the OTA.zip from stock recovery but I get an error
"assert failed: check_mid("full", "0P6B100000" == "t".
I have the Asia 2.5GHZ version and the MID is "0P6B11000" but wanted to run full EU WWE and get the updates there.
Does the stock recovery check for ModelID as well?
Is there something I can do, like change my model ID? Can you please point me to a link on how to do it? Thanks.

Firstly you don't need to relock the bootloder to flash an ota.
From what I can see from looking at the updater script in the ota it checks CID and MID. The CID and MID for various models seem to be listed in the updater script. If yours isn't there then it it will fail.
From what I can see it doesnt seem like a particular CID or MID is required, just one listed in the updater script.
Not sure if you can modify an updater script in a signed ota and it still work or not.

I left mine on Super CID and was able to flash the OTA. I've also read reports of others who have been able to flash the OTA after only going back to the stock recovery, however I went through the process of relocking my bootloader and insuring all "bloat" apps were restored (this was on an AT&T variant though).
Well tired doing this again but it fails, umm says cid unknown in the recovery screen when try I to flash the ota, tired changing my cid to original and to supercid, still same.thing, don't know what I am doing wrong
I also tried going back to stock and running the update but says it Won't install since it thinks the phone is rooted

Really? This is terrific info. Not that I care to do any type of OTA, (why bother? It'll be on XDA in a couple of minutes lol) but it is something to remember. I didn't realize the Super CID was that expansive. I did realize that it allowed you to use your phone on any carrier though, so I probably should have picked up on that.

Vodafone UK? What was the original CID and Version number? VODAP001 and x.xx.161.x ?
COLLECTION of Stock backup's has nandroid backups for both 1.12.161.17 and 1.54.161.5 . The stock recovery is also at that thread though it's only for the 1.54.161.5.
I see it's TWRP nandroid backups though, so hopefully you already have TWRP recovery on. Then just download the nandroid backups, unzip it into the SD card backup folder for TWRP i.e TWRP/Backups/serialnum/ Just replace serialnum with your device serial number and restore nandroid backup. It'll then take you to 1.54.161.5 if there's a new OTA for it then just apply and you have latest then. Just make sure to flash back stock recovery before you attempt OTA.

Yeah you can basically "convert" it to any though you probably won't always get the OTA updates. You'll probably have to end up flashing the OTA update's .zip file from within RUU. I think you'll be fine for OTA's if you do it for example, dev edition, unlock edition, international WWE version, they get updates from HTC itself, the carrier specific OTA's will probably have to be flashed. I say probably because I haven't converted to and from any carrier specific device myself.
But yeah, if you're S-OFF and supercid you can flash just about anything. Careful though... Else the next thread we'll be discussing in is "HELP!!! I THINK I BRICKED MY PHONE!!!!!!" :cyclops:

There is no need to change your MID unless you are planning to change over to a developer edition. Stock firmware already includes stock recovery. I don't see that you have stock ROM listed.

Oh, I thought you just wanted it back to stock to return for repairs. To receive OTA updates, I believe the CID of your phone must match the CID of the firmware/Stock ROM you are flashing. I don't believe you need to change the MID but it might not hurt. Flash Stock ROM first, the Firmware.
Thought I'd post in here seeing as I'm in the UK so get everything about ROM versions, etc...
There are no RUUs available for the M8 bar a few US carrier ones. It sucks but there are other way around it, and with you being S-OFF you have a lot of options. One is to convert the phone to 100% stock, EU, unbranded but Vodafone will then refuse repair so you'd be stuck paying for it. The other is to use the stock backups on here to go back to the Vodafone build, but if you've flashed a different FW build this will also fail repair if checked.
Regarding the MID, all EU handsets have the same one so you don't ever have to worry about changing it at any point
If you can find one of the Vodafone OTA updates I can knock something up for you but I don't remember seeing anyone posting one...

As You see Im on the Nordic CID but what I have heard is that they have jumped up to 3.28.401.9 but In not able to get it downloaded.
Could the problem be that Im on wrong version in relation to the CID?
Best Regards
Your MID and everything is right?
Also you can just download the OTA file and do the OTA manually. OTA ZIP COLLECTION
I found while doing conversions that I had to manually do the OTA the first time before it does so automatically. I don't know if maybe it's something similar to your issue. Did you go straight to 3.28.401.7 or did you go back to 2.22.401.x and then do the OTA to 3.28? I had to manually install the OTA and flash the firmware twice in before it did the OTA automatically like it's supposed. That was when converting from International to Dev Edition.

Yes unfortunately you'll probably have to wait for Lollipop to see if it updates right but you could also just downgrade the firmware to 2.22, restore a 2.22 nandroid and do the OTA's manually from there, IF you want...
Thanks!

Don't know about the guides, must be somewhere in the M8 Forums. It's easy enough though(seeing as you already converted to GPE before).
1) Grab the OTA.zip file for a 2.22.401.x version, extract the firmware.zip from the file.
2) Place firmware.zip file in adb folder, open a command prompt/terminal in adb folder path.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices - just to make sure it's connected
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip <<<Yes TWICE just in case.
fastboot reboot-bootloader
3) flash a custom recovery fastboot flash recovery custom_recovery_name.img of course.
4) Download the nandroid(Or do this first and place on sd card already) and restore from within the custom recovery. nandroid will be for same version as firmware that you flashed for example, 2.22.401.5
5) Restart the phone and let the OTA's proceed as normal.
If you want you can even take it back even further if you want in case you need to "upgrade" manually and/or flash the firmware. I don't think it'll be a problem though as you already "did" that, OTA's Should come automatically. Just make sure you have the stock recovery flashed back else the OTA's won't install.

Don't know about the guides, must be somewhere in the M8 Forums. It's easy enough though(seeing as you already converted to GPE before).
1) Grab the OTA.zip file for a 2.22.401.x version, extract the firmware.zip from the file.
2) Place firmware.zip file in adb folder, open a command prompt/terminal in adb folder path.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices - just to make sure it's connected
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip <<<Yes TWICE just in case.
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Hi guys,
I went to update my M8 earlier from Cyanogenmod 11 to 12, but I got this error when updating...
script aborted: This package supports bootloader(s): 3.18.0.0000, 3.19.0.0000; this device has bootloader 3.16.0.0000.
I have an international M8 and I am unsure what steps I have to take to be able to update the bootloader?
I'm guessing I need to flash a stock RUU and then OTA update and then run firewater root all over again?
If anyone could supply me with an RUU for Vodafone UK for the M8, I'd very much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

There are no RUU's available for devices outside the US. AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Developer Edition and Verizon(I think) all have RUU's. Then there is a RUU for European International(401) but not really widely available.
Easiest way to update Hboot would be to go with OTA's, else if you're S-OFF(You mentioned firewater so I assume you are) you could just flash the latest 4.x firmware for your device or even convert your device to a more up-to-date version(Developer edition is good).
Going SuperCID and flashing Firmware should be easy as well so... There are guides out there to flash firmware. However if you're S-ON then you might have to go with OTA updates so you'll have to go back to stock(EVERYTHING) for OTA's.
On a side note, firewater wasn'tfor root, it was for S-OFF. Besides, firewater doesn't work anymore.
Thanks for the quick reply pal.
Yes I'm S-OFF.
Where would I find a file to flash the latest firmware? I'm assuming you mean through ClockworkMod?
How do I go back to stock if there aren't any RUU's available?
EDIT: I've got a HTC One M8 GPE (File name: RUU-HTC_One_M8_GPE_5.0.1-3.11.1700.5.zip) can I just flash this through ClockworkMod and then be good to go?

That RUU will convert your device to a Google Play Edition. There is a thread showing how to convert if you want:
[RUU] M8 Google Edition Conversion. 5.0.1
But no, you don't flash it through a custom recovery. The RUU.zip's gets flashed through RUU mode fastboot oem rebootRUU it'll take you to a screen with HTC Logo on background, then you flash it with fastboot flash zip name_of_zip.zip you'll have to flash it twice, first time around it only updates the Hboot but nothing else then you'll have to flash again to update the rest.
For going back to stock(No RUU's): RUUs, OTAs, Stock TWRP Backups, Firmware & More Collection Grab your nandroid backp from that thread, restore it through custom recovery, flash back stock recovery and proceed with OTA updates as normal.
If you just want to stay stock(Sense) for custom ROMs then it might be better to just run the Developer Edition RUU.

As long as my bootloader gets updated so I can flash CM12, I'm happy!
Really struggling with this...
Can anyone link me to a thread that will get me from CM11 (S-OFF 3.16 HBOOT) to CM12 (S-OFF 3.19 HBOOT)?
Can I not just fastboot flash the Google Edition, then redo root and S-OFF and then flash CM12 through ClockworkMod?
And how do you S-OFF these things nowadays? Sunshine?
Hello, been looking for a way to return to stock xx.xxx.709.xx with cid_621. I'm on developer firmware atm and the only way to return is by flashing a RUU, but unfortunatly I've not been able to find any. Any help would be highly appriciated. Doesn't matter which version just a RUU for 709 works. Thanks
I assume your device is S-Off, if not how can you have Developer Edition firmware on it, right ?
Why do you need a RUU to revert to stock ? You can simply restore a 4.24.709.3 backup and its stock recovery then do OTA to 6.12.709.4
You can get all the needed files here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
If you insist to install RUU, there is one untested but a very old RUU, means if it is successful installed .. you need to do a lot .. a lot of OTA up to 6.12.709.4
You can find it here, it listed on top and it's a RUU zip, not exe - http://androidruu.com/?developer=M8

Yeah .. don't need RUU .. you need a non-rooted stock ROM and stock recovery.
