Is it my imagination or is this nandroid backup come with SuperSU installed? When I recover using it I still have SuperSU installed, and if I uninstall SuperSU permanently then factory reset it comes back. I'm trying to return to stock for a return, so this is sort of a dead giveaway.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Garmig:
No, the backup was pulled fresh. Maybe you hit the option to install SuperSU after the restoring process.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] quinxy:
Okay, great, thanks. You must be right.

Bit of a tangent, but I'm struggling with something you might instantly know the answer to. I need to have root AFTER recovering from stock nandroid to remove s-off, remove tamper warning, relock. There's no temp root that works for t-mobile M8s so I tried installing SuperSU from TWRP after the nandroid recovery and even though I uninstall it before doing factory reset, I'm stuck with root after factory reset. Any idea of a way around this?

You need to install custom kernel to be able to uninstall system apps.

I tried to flash the twrp backup by placing it in my twrp folder but when I try to install it, it fails and nothing happens. Is there something I'm not doing right? I followed the first step on post #20 and nothing
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Garmig:
Download the nandroid backup, extract it and copy it to the twrp folder in the sdcard ( sdcard/twrp/BACKUPS/FA..../ ) then restore it via TWRP recovery.

Edit: Also, before restoring the backup you have to do a factory reset. (Wipe data via TWRP)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] quinxy:
Yeah, I struggled with this also. Garmig is no doubt right, but in case what he said wasn't clear enough. I went ahead and a nandroid backup just so I could have it set up the right folder structure on the SD card, then just unzipped the contents of the nandroid backup into the backups home directory, which it had created. Then it works fine.

Please help

I restored my phone using the nandroid back up provided. my phone is now in a Welcome screen loop and I can't even turn it off the phone. It's not even a power loop. When I hold the power button and bottom volume button all I do is go into a safe mode screen and when I try to do anything all it does is show an error and goes back into a loop.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Rydah:
The file you said you downloaded isn't meant to be flashed. What you are supposed to do is extract the folder into your TWRP backup folder, boot into TWRP and restore that backup.

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

Sorry to double post but I didn't want anyone to miss this. I am installing the OTA update from 1.57.531.7 to 2.22.531.5 in the stock recovery while running 1.57.531.7. I have S-OFF and root on the rom. Running the ota update from my SD Card, I run into an error while installing.

The Recovery shows this error message:

Verifying update package....

Installing update package...

Verifying current system...

"/system/app/BasicDreams.apk" has unexpected contents.

Installation Aborted.

So, it seems that I have done something on my currently rooted rom to make it think it should not install the OTA.

In the OP, it says to flash a nandroid backup of an original 1.57.531. 7 - however, I would really not like to lose any of the data and settings and everything I currently have on my phone. Is there a way to do this?

I don't have any Nandroid Backups or any other file on the SD Card in TWRP. If I try a factory reset it says unable to mount '/data', unable to mount storage. I was looking here to fastboot the latest RUU, but I now I can't access anything on the SD Card. In the Mount section it says Internal Storage (0MB). Has anyone experienced this? Any other way to flash the stock RUU and recovery without having any access to the files in TWRP?

I'm in the same boat, S-off, Super CID, and Unlocked bootloader. T-Mobile is making me take the phone in to a retail location for a diagnostic. I understand the RUU process, but is there any step by step guides for this thorough off a restore?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] mariosaraylian:
You guys need to first figure what your original CID was: If you are TMOUS then it is probably T-MOB010 (I am in Los Angeles) After you run the RUU's to put everything back to Stock, Just boot into Fastboot and then type Fastboot writecid T-MOB010.

great! Thank you, what's the next step? how do I lock the bootloader and S-ON without them being able to detect any tinkering?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] mariosaraylian:
You have to install the Stock Recovery first, then relock it. I've never actually put a phone back to S-ON before. Look in the HTC One M8 Tmobile forums and there is a thread that gives you the links to all of the Stock RUU's, Stock Recovery, etc. It's not a ton of research actually, you can even just do a Google search and type in XDA to make sure you find everything in the XDA threads here.

Why are you guys wanting Tmobile to take the phones back if I may ask..?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] vjaamm:
Back to stock question

I had my M8 through T-Mobile. I converted it over to a GPe and have since take the OTA update to 5.0.1. I'm not rooted.

I don't really like the update and want to go back to stock, unrooted, 4.4.4 Sense, Stock recovery, with all the bloat that came along with it.. basically exactly how it was when I got it.

I downloaded the 3.32.531.2 RUU. Since it's just an .exe file, do I just have to run it and i'm good to go? I know I'll need to change my CID as well, but that I know how to do.

I'm used to working with Moto phones. This is the first HTC one I've had in years so I don't really know all their stuff yet.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] mariosaraylian:
If you did not S-Off and you did not change the HTC stock recovery then you should be fine with just running the RUU. After the RUU is done boot into the boot loader if the phone is off push the Vol- and Power button, keep Vol- pushed down until you see the boot loader screen with all the information on it (if you are already powered on push Vol+ and Power button for 10 seconds to reboot, then immediately push Vol- to load the boot loader). Make sure that on the boot loader screen it shows your are Locked, the current OS version etc.

You can use the Stock Rom all you want, but I would still use the most current firmware OR you can root and S-Off the phone and REALLY learn how amazing it can be :)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] vjaamm:
I do have S-Off and my bootloader is unlocked. I had to do both to switch over to GPe.

When I did it, I had to change the recovery to TWRP. When I flashed the unrooted GPe RUU, it loaded the stock android recovery onto it.

Edit: From the bootloader, when I choose recovery it shows the android with the caution sign and underneath it it says No Command.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] mariosaraylian:
That is fine it means that the RUU also flashed the HTC Stock Recovery....is this what you wanted?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] vjaamm:
I believe so. I'll change the CID back to T-mobile's tonight and try running the RUU. The battery life on the GPe Kit Kat and Lollipop has been awful for me so I wanted to just got back to exactly as it was when I first got it. In the last year or so, I haven't really cared about root and only bootloader unlocked and S-Off to get to GPe.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] mariosaraylian:
Running the Stock RUU will change the ROM and boot loader and recovery all back to stock but I do not think it will make the phone S-ON again. I think that is a different process. If you are not returning the phone to T-Mobile and just want to use the Stock ROM then just stay as you are and keep it S-Off.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] vjaamm:
Thanks for all the help! I think that answered everything. I'm ok with having S-OFF still as long as I get back to Sense and the better battery life I was getting. I'm not planning on bringing it back to T-Mobile or anything.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] mariosaraylian:
My pleasure! Please hit the Thanks Button!!! [emoji1]
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] vjaamm:
It appears that It is not working. After the RUU startes up, it does the bootloader check and then give me an error ERROR [155]: Unknown Error.

According to the read me file it says that I have the wrong image. Could that be happening because I have the bootloader unlocked you think?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Garmig:
From the Tmo-m8 3.32.531.2 OTA file extract the firmware and flash it to your device via fastboot commands.

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

Then again after the error...

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

fastboot reboot-bootloader

And now you can run the Tmobile RUU.

Have you done a complete wipe and reloaded the firmware and ROM? There is no such thing as really "some" apps working and some not working on data. Also are you referring to your 4GLTE data connection or WiFi also or both or what?

---------- Post added at 01:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------

You need to provide more details, is it a Verizon phone or GSM or what? The RUU will work fine and the current version numbers don't matter. You need to choose the right firmware and install it correctly or you can brick the phone.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] ecuajosh:
I know, it doesn't make any sense to me either, but it started to occur since i downgraded, probably something got corrupted along the way.

wifi works 100 % always, but 4g lte some apps (a couple of games or music id app) return with a connection failed unless i'm on wifi, stock apps work always,(browser,email,etc).

and yes i wiped many times, flashed stock. what im going to try is flash everything to the first version and try to upgrade my way up with the files provided in this forum. i previously did with the list of files in the forum for the international version. (they had firmware for T-MOB010).

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

Also you mentioned previously you wanted to S-OFF the phone. The Firmware update can go a ton faster if the phone is already S-OFF. You can do that right now without installing anything yet, but you have to pay the $25 to the Sunshine app. If you want to S-OFF it now, then doing the Firmware is a snap. If you do not want to S-OFF now then you have to run the RUU, its a bit more timely and involves software to download etc.

Howdy. I'm trying to get my Tmo m8 back to pure stock. I've never converted to GPE. When I try to run the RUU .exe file, as administrator, it goes through the Install Shield setup, then has me agree to the license agreement, then it just disappears and nothing further happens. I've tried this on three different machines with the same results. The drivers are installed, as I can see the device with adb. I've tried having my phone booted normal, as well as in fastboot, and also in the fastboot OEM.

Nothing happens after accepting the license agreement. Any ideas why this is happening? The phone is locked and S-OFF. Running latest Sense firmware.

You can't flash these stock Roms. They're twrp backups so you have to extract the zip and place them in the appropriate twrp backup sub folder. Also, are you talking about the storage not showing up properly on stock android 5.0? Where it pretty much creates like 2 legacy folders on the internal storage? If so, what I did was after booting into android I went back into recovery and when you go to erase your data partitions before flashing a new ROM, I picked that other option that says to wipe the internal storage. I just used that and started fresh and had no problems on lollipop.
