Ok so over the last few days i've read hundreds of posts on how to reset the m8 back to stock, and yet not a single one works for me.
My CID is: H3G_001
to which my understanding is that there is no RUU. My device is currently running skydragon rom and kernel but is not a GPE edition, and for some reason I can't see my version-main (it is just blank).
So my tactic was trial and error download a bunch of nandroid backups and hope to **** one of them works, and from what I've read if I have Hboot 3.19.xx.x.x.x then i need a backup with 3.32.710.9.
Except, i keep finding posts by a guy called ckpv5 which link me to a sourcefourge, which no longer contain the relevant backups.
All I want to do is sell my phone, and to do that it needs to just be on a stock rom, with a stock kernel and a locked bootloader.

You don't need x.xx.710.x
You need x.xx.771.x
You can restore 3.32.771.10 stock backup then flash stock recovery and do OTA till the marshmallow ( from ckpv5 thread )
or you can restore 6.13.771.4 stock backup then reboot to bootloader ( relock it ) and flash 6.13.771.4 signed firmware ( also from ckpv5 thread )

You and ckpv5 are my heroes. Was genuinely about to just condemn the phone haha, I'd stumbled across that thread before but not seem what i thought was the right version. Phone seems to be all up and running now, just installing stock recovery and OTA's.
Much love

I believe this sequence would result in no OS. If I'm not mistaken, flashing signed official firmware has that result. OP in that case will need to unlock the bootloader again (using existing unlock bin code, or get a new one from HTCDev.com), flash TWRP, install stock TWRP backup 6.13.771.4. Then flash stock recovery corresponding to 6.13.771.4 and relock bootloader (to return to "close to" stock).
OP should also note that relocking the bootloader is done with command: fastboot oem lock
And this will only result in it saying RELOCKED. There is no way to make it say LOCKED again (the factory condition) unless you s-off. And that isn't worthwhile, as s-off by sunshine is the only working method, and costs $25. And IMO not worthwhile to spend money like that, to sell an old phone.
What I would recommend, is full disclosure to tell the buyer that the phone was modded, but returned to stock, aside from the RELOCKED bootloader.

I'll be selling it to the store I work in, so I'll mostly likely also handle the sale of the phone, in which case I'll explain to them it's stock but has been tampered

no it won't as i did it with my friend's device
restore stock backup ( syatem and boot ) after full wipe
reboot to bootloader ( relock it ) then flash the signed firmware

Thanks, good to know. Your way saves the OP a good number of steps. And if for some reason, it doesn't work, the OP has a backup plan, and can do as I outlined.

Hi,
second try. First post didn't go through... good thing I didn't save what I typed.
I'm trying to update my firmware, I've read somewhere that a RUU is the easiest way to do so. The one I found "somewhere" doesn't go through with the update proses. It spits out error 155, bootloader is relocked hboot version is 3.16.000 and I'm S-on (not that I was able to change that).
I'm loosing my patience and I'm about to throw the phone in the trash. I've some one can point me to a RUU that work with it I'd be in your debt. The carrier is O2 Germany BTW.
thanks and happy new year.
Even though I can guess which RUU that you might need .. is best to post
fastboot getvar all result without serial & imei no. to confirm it
If it is really a O2, I'll link you the RUU

Yeah .. not to post them online.
Here is your RUU - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934555499
This will update your device directly to lollipop 4.20.206.1
then after check for software update, I believe there will be a few more OTAs

Thanks for the quick response. I've started the download, but slow internet means it'll take about 45min I'll report back once I'm done.
I realized I haven't really said anything about my intentions, I did that the first time I wrote the post which wasn't posted because my session in the forum got kicked or something.
I wanted to update CM to CM12 and I've managed to flash a stock ROM with lollipop but wifi won't work. So my main concern was updating the firmware so that I can flash CM12. This would enable me to do so?
thanks again.
Restore a stock ROM, you can't use lollipop. Wifi won't work because you have hboot 3.16.0000
You only can restore 1.54.206.10 stock ROM and its stock recovery then do all OTAs up to lollipop then only it work for wifi and other thing.
Using a RUU will remove everything on your device including internal storage (so make backup) then it will update everything including firmware to lollipop. So it is faster compare the nandroid backup method. You have less OTA to do.
Got to rest now .. already in bed .. its 4 AM here .. I'll check your progress tomorrow .. good luck

When you asked for RUU I expect you know all the requirements to run RUU ...
Your problem is related to PC/USB to device connection problem ...
You need to relock bootloader before you run RUU because your device is S-On
(I believe you did that as stated on post #1)
and you need a Windows PC with USB2.0 and latest HTC USB driver installed.
If you're not sure about HTC USB driver - download HTC Sync Manager - http://www.htc.com/us/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx
install then after uninstall HTC Sync Manager but leave the HTC USB driver

Edited: That did the trick RUU worked flawlessly and all is fine now, as a token of my gratitude I donated some money. It's not much, about what I can afford right now, but I felt like it since I#ve been struggling with this problem for so long now.
So thank you very much for the quick responses and the patience. Have a nice year!

You need htc_fastboot.exe to install the RUU zip.
Follow the steps as explained here but using your own RUU zip (skip that no.1) -

Thank a lot bro please help me out of a new problem, ur method worked completely fine . I successfully switched from custom to stock rom and then installed the updates available. Now i wanted to root so
I unlocked bootloader using htc dev
Started the phone and all the apps optimized which took around30-40 mins
Now i shifted to bootloader installed twrp then installed supersu which i had already put in extsd
Phone didnt started for an hour stuck on htc screen
Used adb reboot bootloader and repeated everything all again right from fastboot oem lock doing ruu and all still it is same
It works all very fine before installing supersu after that all chaos dont know what to do
Hi guys, I need help bringing my phone back to life. I tried to return my phone back to stock by running a RUU. But now I've learnt (the hard way) it was the wrong RUU and now I can only boot into bootloader. There is no recovery I can boot into. This is the getvar:

I tried to find the correct HBOOT and CID version RUU but to no avail. I've tried another RUU for 0P6B but I think it was MID 0P6B1000 while mine is 0P6B3000. And most other solutions involve have S-OFF which mine isn't. I'm not sure what else I can do. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I think you want the RUU for 4.18.708.12, if such RUU exists. I don't know if it exists or not, but this at least give you a starting point to look (seems like you were somewhat guessing before).

Don't think 4.18.708.12 RUU exists.
If your bootloader is unlocked ... you can install TWRP 2.8.7.0 then restore 4.18.708.12 stock non-rooted backup and install 4.18.708.12 stock recovery.img then do OTA to Marshmallow 6.16.708.1

I agree, if there is no RUU for the version, than the way forward is to restore a stock TWRP backup. Unlocked bootloader is required.
I've stuffed something up along the way and now my M8 seems to refuse to load any ROM I've installed on it. What's the best way to go about fixing this? It's unlocked with S-Off.
Flashing an RUU is a silver bullet for starting over, as an RUU formats all your device's partitions and flashes them with stock images.
You'll need to provide CID & MID or your current firmware version (i.e. 4.16.401.10) if you need help locating a compatible RUU.
Cheers
Need some more details to see why the phone won't boot into OS after flashing a ROM.
Is an OS number indicated on the bootloader screen? If so, what is it?
What version TWRP?
What ROMs have you tried?

I've tried flashing a few different RUUs and they all come out with an error 155. Googling it suggests I need to relock my bootloader but locking it and running the RUU again gives me the same error. I'm using SuperCID 11111111 and my MID is 0P6B70000. Currently on firmware 4.16.1540.8.

My OS number is 4.16.1540.8, I've tried TWRP 2.7.0.1, 2.8.7.0 and 3.0.0.0, roms I've tried include CM13, SkyDragon and a stock TWRP backup I found in another thread here.

Your MID and firmware number don't jive; and it can indicate something pretty dangerous (and possibly a radio bricked phone).
Need more info on what you've done.
Do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete serial number and IMEI before posting).
Was the phone new and stock (unmodified) when you got it; or did it have a previous owner?
Please list all the mods you have applied (s-off, changed CID, changed MID? etc.).
Ok, here's what getvar all reports:

I bought the phone second-hand, it was running a custom ROM (SkyDragon) with cid already set to 11111111 and I wanted to return it to stock. I got the Unlocked/Developer RUU from HTC's site but that didn't start up for me so I tried a bunch of stuff, fiddling with firmwares and unlocking/relocking bootloader and so on but in the end the RUU just hadn't downloaded properly. Once I managed to get the RUUs to run they've all come up with error 155 when they start the flash and flashing the rom.zip direct gives me an error (I forget if it's the same or different)
I've also tried restoring assorted TWRP backups, installing new roms and so on, directly flashing boot.img, things seem to flash ok but the phone just boots direct into fastboot.
Update: I'm not sure what went differently this time but I've installed the latest Cyanogenmod nightly and it's starting up as expected.
I'd like to get back to stock though. What's the best way to go about doing this? The phone was already modified when I got it so I'm not sure what it would've had on it when it was purchased originally.
Edit: A bit of googling suggests this is a Sprint handset (I dismissed this to begin with since I'm in Australia and didn't think it'd be an overseas handset, but ok) so I've flashed 6.20.651.3 firmware and am waiting for a matching RUU to download. Fingers crossed!
Edit again: All sorted now, thanks for your help!

Happy to see your sorted it out.
I agree it appears to be the Sprint version, based on the the MID (0P6B70000) and product name (m8_whl). While the MID can be modified, the product name is typically not (never seen a mod method for that - so the product name is very reliable).
That being said, I would strongly caution you moving forward, to not flash any firmware or RUU to this device except Sprint M8 firmware/RUU. Reason being, the partitioning on the Sprint phone is different from most other versions; and flashing another version's firmware can lead to a radio brick (phone boots, but nothing requiring the radio will work).

This is Sprint version, same as OP based on the model ID and product name. Although main version would indicate the Sprint Harmon Kardon version. RUU can be found at the bottom of the following webpage: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-harman-kardon-edition-sprint/news/
The M8x designation on the back cover can't be trusted in this case. The back cover has been replaced to remove the "Sprint" logo branding. We've seen several phones like this (back cover replaced to remove evidence of branding) on the forum. You have to go by the getvar data.
Also, be sure to remove your IMEI and serial number from the getvar output. These are personal data, and should never be posted online.

While verifying I want to update the ROM version it states:

After clicking next and progressing I get Error 155.

To run a Marshmallow RUU, you need to fastboot flash its firmware.zip first.
1. flash 6.20.651.3 firmware.zip
2. run RUU
You should be able to find the firmware.zip in Sprint section
Or you try to find one version lower (lollipop) than 6.20.651.3 RUU, run it then do OTA to 6.20.651.3

Just to confirm, if I get a lollipop version, do I still need to fastboot flash a firmware.zip?

What is the problem? Is it not booting into the ROM?
when there was boot.the phone at the startup gave (unfortunately------- has stopped)error and also no back key home key visible.
wiped the device. it was all same.
tried RUU it was the same
unlocked the boot loader
and flashed
stock recovery
twrp recovery
then tried nandroid backup restore
the restore was succefull but the phone wont reach startup (tried 1Hour max)
one peculiar thing i notice.earlier when it was booting to startup i was unable to copy anything to internal or external memory as it would say device not ready or disconnected.but i was able to browse the folders.
My opinion partition problem.Need others help to sort out
Note all the files i have mentioned is checked with md5

None of these will ever work on your device, in the s-on configuration. The RUUs containing "BrightstarUS" are for the US Developer's Edition. They won't run on your phone, as they will fail CID and MID checks (your device has CID and MID - can't change these with s-on).
The one labeled "Europe" is for an older version (Lollipop) than what is installed on the phone (Marshmallow). This will fail version check. By definition, you can't "downgrade" by RUU with s-on
with bootloader locked/unlocked state;
with s-on:
Failed
with s-on, its absolutely mandatory to have a locked or relocked bootloader to flash RUU. Unlocked bootloader will make it fail
Tried zip

Failed
This is the correct RUU for your version, and should run with s-on. Saying it "Failed" with no other info, is not enough. Were their any error messages, other outputs, etc.? What commands did you use to run it? Were you in fastbootRUU mode?
I would suggest trying to run this again, with the bootloader RELOCKED, and you also need to use htc_fastboot, as the "generic" fastboot will not work with RUU.

Its best if you posted the solution, and what the mistake was. Useful for those helping (to see whether we sent you on the right path), as well as anyone else reading which may have the same or similar issue.
No mistake is that silly when it comes to these devices. Its often just specific knowledge that was missing, or a detail you didn't catch before (which is an honest mistake, either way).
I was following some tutorial and I decided to 'Relock' my bootloader. So I didn't that but then a flag came up underneath it saying "Security Concerns" or something like that. Then using fastboot/ADB I got it to the screen with just the grey HTC text and then I tried to flash the RUU over to the device but I got some error 41 saying the model id check failed. From there I discovered I'm stuck in a bootloop...I can't get into TWRP or boot the phone up at all...Just keeps going back to fastboot. I can't reset or do anything. Please help me get out of this mess and then hopefully help me unroot it!
The CID is: telus001
The version main: 6.13.661.9
The Model ID: OP6B16000
And it is S-ON
Your post is a bit confusing to follow. I'll need some clarification before I can properly help. See my comments below in red font, and try to address them as best you can:

I was following some tutorial and I decided to 'Relock' my bootloader. So I didn't that Don't know what that last bit means, I think you left out a word(s). Did you attempt to relock the bootloader or not? If so, was it successful, or did you have errors? Most importantly, on the bootloader screen, does it say the bootloader is LOCKED, UNLOCKED or RELOCKED? My advice is if its unlocked, to leave it that way (more on this later)
Then using fastboot/ADB I got it to the screen with just the grey HTC text and then I tried to flash the RUU over to the device but I got some error 41 saying the model id check failed. I don't your version M8 (Telus) has an RUU. The RUU must match your version carrier ID (CID) and model ID (MID) or it will fail. Normally, I'd ask which version number RUU you tried (there are dozens of different RUUs). But in your case, it doesn't really matter, as I don't think there are any RUUs which will work for you.
From there I discovered I'm stuck in a bootloop...I can't get into TWRP or boot the phone up at all...Just keeps going back to fastboot. I can't reset or do anything. Please help me get out of this mess and then hopefully help me unroot it!
How exactly to proceed depends on whether the bootloader is presently UNLOCKED or not. If its locked, no boot (no OS) is the expected result, as it expects the RUU to be run. My advice would be to unlock the bootloader (if its relocked), flash TWRP, then see if you can then boot into TWRP. From there, restore a stock backup.

Yes sorry about the confusing post, I was running on little sleep. I did succeed in relocking my bootloader and it now reads "***RELOCKED***."
Being that it is relocked could you give me a step by step on how to unlock it and flash TWRP as you mentioned in the ending of your post. Your response gives me hope so thank you so much!

You can unlock the bootloader again, either by using fastboot command and the unlock bin code you originally used to unlock it. Otherwise, just go through the process again on HTCDev.com, and get a new bin code.
From there, flash TWRP, and then restore the 6.13.661.9 stock TWRP backup using the instructions and files found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Only need to do through Step 10, then reboot to OS. No need to restore stock recovery, as there are no more OTA updates for this phone.
