Oh wow yes sorry relock bootloader by fastboot oem lock. Also if you changed your cid should match the ruu you want to flash.

If you don't know how to revert back to stock HTC firmware, you have no business flashing custom ROMs. Plus....did you even google your inquiry? No.
Search the forums.

Did you unlock the bootloader yourself? If so, you know enough about fastboot to relock the bootloader.
Also, if you do fastboot getvar all, and post the result (delete IMEI and serial number) we can see the CID, and determine what RUU (if that CID has one).
Or the other option to go back to Sense Marshmallow, is to restore a stock TWRP backup as suggested. Here is another thread of such stock TWRP backups, and this one has better instructions:

While the post was not particularly polite (nor is he required to be so), I do agree with the main point: if you are flashing custom ROMs, you really should have researched how to return to stock. I see that a lot of folks skip this (you aren't the only one, by far), but I also don't see why they do. Would you take apart your car's engine without knowing how to put it back together? Probably not.
Along those basic lines (good rules of thumb for phone modding), if you had simply made your own backup of the stock ROM before flashing a custom ROM; you could simply just restore that backup in order to revert to stock. It's a basic good practice: never do any mods (root, custom ROM) without first making a TWRP backup.

Thank you and yes. I should have known better before flashing an RR ROM I didn't search for it because i thought it was simple

Modding phones is not simple. You should research and understand everything properly, before you do any mods to any device. Maybe all the YouTube guides and one-click root apps make phone modding look easy, but it's really not a trivial thing.
Maybe it's just my own personality. But to me, it's basic logic that you shouldn't tinker with an electronic device that cost hundreds of dollars, without having some backup plans, knowing how to undo the mods, etc.

You can do either (restore stock TWRP backup vs. run RUU). That is, assuming your version M8 has an RUU, not all do (and you haven't given any info that would allow us to determine that).
I already said that restoring a stock TWRP backup was an option, and it was also suggested by another (Post #8 above). So I don't now what you asked that question. Obviously it's something you can do; otherwise why would we say it was?
Keep in mind that a stock TWRP backup is not exactly the same as a flashable ROM. You need to extract the files, save them to the proper place on the phone, then use the RESTORE option in TWRP (as opposed to INSTALL for flashable ROMs). The process (and required files) can be found on the following thread (I tried to give this link above, but linked it improperly - so here it is again):

Hey guys,
So, I have an M8_DUGL, S-ON, with hboot: 3.19.0
It is unlocked, but not S-OFF.
I can get to stock recovery; however, whenever I flash a custom recovery, it gets flashed successfully but doesn't work. It always takes me back to the bootloader page again when I press on REOCVERY. Anyone know why this happens?
I also do not have any OS installed at the moment, mistakes have been made and I wiped it out. So, I need to relfash it. However, it's been a real pain for me to find an RUU that works. I have a CID of J__15, and OS (supposedly): 3.33.401.6
Any help would bee really appreciated. Thanks
You will have to go through the root process again seems like you made a stumble in the process.. It happens go through it again and it should work properly but make a nandroid back up! Before proceeding!

Well, haha, I have nothing to make a nandroid back up with. I do not have a recovery and no ROM either. I was too tired, and messed up real bad.
So, my current standing is that I only have my sacred bootloader. I can access fasboot, but can't do anything more. Stock recovery works, but when I flash different custom recoveries, they just don't work. I've done many mods in previous HTC phones, so this is kinda weird to me why it's not working. Do you have any idea to why this is happening?
Did you use the same tool with the other htc phones? Or did you use a different one maybe you didn't root it properly.. If you can still access the stock rom. Try to root it again that's my best advice because it should work on the m8 I rooted one of my m8 must unlock the bootloader before anything tho and must root the phone properly this time.. Let me know if any other questions need to be answered

You can use the old nandroid backup 1.45.401.12 - TWRP Thanks to kakyyabata from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 and proceed with OTA again up to 3.33.401.6

Are you sorted yet? I have a dual sim M8 and I used to use a custom recovery, but changed recently to the standard TWRP, which now supports the dual sim version. You can find that on the TWRP site.

Hi im not a total noob but I have never updated my phone as was looking for the simplest way to do so. I also have a few questions for when ive done so. Im currently on 4.4.2 rooted soff and have been advised to update so I can get a working kexec so I can install multirom properly.
will I need to reroot and unlock bootloader after?
Is there a risk of bricking.
thanks.

Sir if you were in rooted condition and gladly also in S-OFF, you're free to do anything , i mean rather than fallback to stock, just flash any custom rom you want but also flash it's correlated firmware.

If I'm you, I rather update my device to 4.4.4 first as you're running the older firmware so all you can enjoy is simply CM based rom whereas the lastest GPE and sense based rom may not work properly since you're still using the older firmware.
Is it better for me to return to stock update everything and reroot rather than updateing Rom and firmware seperately

The easiest way is to get s off, then go superCID
You download the firmware zip, rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip. Put that on your extCSD and boot into hboot.
That's it. Your phone does the rest.

I understand you not wanting to mess your phone. It is always best not to proceed if you are unsure.
I'm not sure what carrier you are on, but for the normal international model, you will want to download this firmware to use in the method I explained.
Some American carriers have different firmware, so if you on an American carrier, let me know which one and I will provide you with the proper download to update to 4.4.4
The best thing about this method over an RUU is that you won't lose any data.

I doubt that any stock rom will flash with twrp recovery....in the past with oppo phones (n1, 7a) its always needed stock recovery to flash stock roms...I guess we just play the waiting game until someone can upload the boot image from the updated rom. I'm pretty sure flashing that alone will get wifi back up and running. 07 Or if someone has the stock recovery they could upload....I am unsure if you can just rip it directly out of the rom and flash it....Also on oppo forums they have posted the rom for 5207 I am also unsure if you can flash that to the 5206.
The zip in that thread is images to flash in fastboot?
...
I would think you would have to flash each image individually.... system, boot, recovery ....unless if we start by flashing only the unmodified boot.img to see if it will fix wifi....but i doubt it because i suspect the wrong boot image is what screwed up wifi in the first place...someone please correct me if im wrong

Yes, you're right; the boot image is not compatible with the upgrade; so downgrade to get root. I'm working on trying to upgrade again with the OTA upgrade and then getting the new boot.img and rooting that. More soon I hope!
FYI I tried your images, Lum_UK and found that I couldn't flash boot.img with fastboot, BUT I could dd them from within recovery, so I got myself up and running again.
Yes you'd have to flash all the images by hand one after the other.

Don't worry about it
Seems there's only about 4 or 5 people actively working on this phone here, so I'm sure we'll all end up helping each other at some point.

Thanks for that, though I haven't tried it yet. Can I ask what it changes? Is it worth the upgrade? My original firmware +root seems to work pretty well already so I may well leave it alone until L or CM comes out.

I have no idea what it changes as it's the firmware my International N5706 was shipped with when it was released last week. It may be different to the US model (though I believe the only difference between the two is the baseband) and is definitely different to the N5707 for Chinese users.
Dude, thanks!!! You saved my life!

Oppo neo 7 a33f custom recovery plzzz send me
My HTC One M8 has unlocked bootloader but is on 'stock' Android 5.0.1. I would like to upgrade to Marshmallow and I think that flashing a custom ROM that is as clean as possible would be easier than re locking my bootloader, flashing stock recovery etc.
Can someone please link me to said ROM if it does exist ? (Android Revolution is Android 6.0 based but it is tweaked a lot)
Thanks
First you got to apply the stock OTA as it includes a MM firmware as well. This is needed to run every single Marshmallow Custom ROM that can be found on this forum.

I cannot run the OTA as I have rooted the phone in the past and have unlocked bootloader and flashed a custom recovery.
Though the easiest way is to find a clean rom and flash it on my custom recovery. Would it work?
Thanks!
First answer to second question: no, as - as I wrote in my last answer - a Marshmallow firmware ist needed.
You got to revert to stock by restoring a stock backup containing a clean, untouched system partition. After restoring you could first flash untouched system partition using fastboot commands and after this the stock recovery. Both the Recovery and the backup have to fit your CID and MID of course.
A detailed guide of how to proceed can be found on this forum using the search.
If done so you could relock the bootloader, update to stock MM, unlock bootloader again, flash custom recovery and flash a custom MM ROM of your liking.

Maybe I can be of help a little bit more. You'll find a lot of backups in this thread, which also includes links to other stock backup threads.
The guide of how to revert back to stock via RUU can be found here an how to do it via TWRP backup (as would be in your case), can be found here.

Hey man, thank you for the links! I have just had time to do the procedure following the instructions on the links you shared with. I have just installed 6.0.0, I hope it's worth the few hours spent on the task
I can't wait for the HTC nexus phone...I know that I am done rooting and installing custom ROMS. It was fun..6 years ago haha
"Android is upgrading" so it should be ok I guess..
Thanks again !
I wanna keep bootloader unlocked and TWRP recovery. would it be possible to go from the CM12.1 rom to the stock rom? I dont need stock recovery as Ill be reflashing CM12.1 after I have tried out HTC sense 7 and MM
No, i dont think so. Dont you Have a backup in twrp? If no i'm not sure if there is a solution. Maybe take a look on ruu.lalleman.net.
Sorry for bad english

If you Have a backup of your original firmware (Stock ROM) you can restore it and then update your System to 6.0 in your settings, info, device updates(maybe somewhere else in settings)

No idea what cuases that? Maybe do a quick Google search for that issue. You can try Flash twrp again using flashify (play Store)or htc_fastboot

I honestly don't know what causes that. Maybe it's easier to restock everything and unlock your bootloader to flash TWRP.

If you want your bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed you cant get HTC sense rom unless you have a working backup which you don't have

I have TWRP installed.
You can flash a sense rom from TWRP. There are many stock based roms that have few optimizations.
Try Viper, ICE, Leedroid, Sky Dragon, Bad Boyz (might not have international support).
There are also a few stock rooted roms around. It's very easy to flash from recovery. Just make sure you are on the most current Firmware for your device.
If you are looking to go stock with no extras, THIS might be what you are looking for (also elaborates on the write protection issue you are having)
Ooops. I didn't realize your device was the M8s. I think it's kind of silly it's in the same forum, but oh well. Sorry for the confusion.

You're in wrong device thread man ... all your suggested ROMs are meant for M8 only.
They won't work for his/this device.

ahhhhh. I see. Didn't realize this was the M8s they were talking about. I thought it was the M8 general. Thank you for pointing that out. I was wondering why it was so hard for them to find a stock ROM....
Found a fix guys. Will post here if someone has the same issue:
1. boot TWRP, try flashing recovery, get the error
2. go to mount in twrp and turn on mount system as read only, then try flash again
3. go back into mount, turn off mount system as read only, then tap system
4. start the restore, this fixed it for me
