Newbie question regarding firmware updates

Hi guys,
So I have the unlocked HTC One M8 Asian variant, im rooted with unlocked bootloader and S-On. CWM Recovery.
I am now running CM11 on 4.4.4 and I want to go and try some Sense 6 based custom ROMS like Viper or InsterCoin.
Do I HAVE TO update my firmware in order to do so? What is exactly the firmware and how can I know what i'm running right now?
Any good tutorial in order to update firmware while S-On or guide to install sense based rom without updating firmware?
THANKS!
Nimi

Stock Lollipop-->4.4.4 based ROM [possible?]

Hello guys!
I own an HTC ONE M8 [non rooted- just stock] and I have updated my device to Lollipop 5.0.1 via OTA. Unfortunately, since Xposed is currently working under beta conditions, I want to downgrade to 4.4.4 to use the "full power" of my device So my plan is to:
1. root and unlock the bootloader of my HTC [currently on stock Lollipop 5.0.1]
2. Download and flash a ROM based on KitKat 4.4.4
3. Install Xposed and all the goodies it supports [Amplify, Greenify etc]
Is my plan possible?
Thanks in advance!!

Yes ...
That's not really downgrade, it just install 4.4.4 custom ROM, so your plan should work

So, a downgrade would be returning to stock Sense 4.4.4, right? I am not interested in that.
I just want to flash a custom rom, based on 4.4.4. If that is possible with the steps I plan to follow, then OK

Yes

If I want to return to stock 4.4.4 from Lollipop, do I still need to root the phone? The phone worked perfectly well before the Lollipop update, I really regret updating, I see no benefits whatsoever and lots of problems.

Yes. You either have to root, or gain S-Off and run a 4.4.4 RUU.

Usually the WI-FI problem happens when you dont have the proper base build which is 4.16.xxx something that can be found on your phone, youll need to get an OTA update from your carrier in order to be able to enjoy ROMS that have a different base

Custom recoverys cant process OTA updates, so you will need a stock reocvery or to download the OTA zip file that corresponds to you and then you will be able to update via the RUU

MM firmware and Lollipop ROM

Hi all,
If I update to marshmallow firmware will lollipop roms still work on my device, like Maximus or ARHD lollipop versions?
I am S-ON thus will not be able to reflash a lollipop firmware.
I would like to try MM, but I would like to be able to get back to lollipop M-HD if MM is to buggy.
Thank you in advance!

No. You need a lollipop base and for that you need s off to downgrade

HELP! Reaching 6.0 with firmware 5.1

I'm currently using a m9 Sprint/nTelos with firmware 5.1 , but I can not upgrade to 6.0 because no exist that firmware for this model.
I tried to install custom ROM based on 6.0 but no start obv my firmware is 5.1.
there a way or a rom to reach 6.0 with firmare 5.1 ?
acctually using MaximusHD 6.0
I'll be very greatful!!!

No, you cannot run a 6.0 rom on 5.1 firmware. You will get a bootloop.

If theres no rom from the carrier you have to wait. You can look into s-off but not sure if sprint/telos/verizon and other corrupt carriers have locked them out..
