This is how we are going to do the update for your device as there is no 1.55.661.4 backup but using the 3.34.661.4 backup.

1. Download and install TWRP 2.8.1.0 - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8

2. Download 3.34.661.4 backup (on post #4 of this thread)

3. Download 3.34.661.4 signed firmware.zip - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4jGj3SfskzMdjVLblVDZjdNbkk/view?usp=sharing

4. Transfer the extracted 3.34.661.4 backup to your device TWRP backup folder (read post #1 to understand more)

5. Make a backup of your current ROM then restore 3.34.661.4 backup

6. Put your device on bootloader/fastboot mode then relock bootloader with command

fastboot oem lock

7. follow these steps to run commands :

fastboot reboot-bootloader (to make sure you're on fastboot mode)

fastboot oem rebootRUU (to put the device in RUU mode)

fastboot flash zip 3.34.661.4_firmware.zip (flashing the firmware.zip)

You'll see : FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)

repeat fastboot flash zip 3.34.661.4_firmware.zip (to complete firmware installation)

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Check your bootloader now written OS - 3.34.661.4

8. Reboot, run setup then do multiple OTA to the latest 4.20.661.3

Now you can reunlock bootloader with your unlock_code.bin that you got from HTCDev to install latest TWRP 2.8.7.0 and root it or install any lollipop base custom ROM

Note : reunlocking bootloader will wipe your data - make a backup of your files on internal storage to PC first (like photos, musics & etc)

it seems that the back up doesnt even recognize the 1.55.666.4 folder i made in the backcup folder. Should i delete the test back up folder i made when doing the back up test to see where the save goes?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Don't delete that test folder but transfer & replace all the content from 1.55.666.4 folder to this folder. (read again, content not folder)

The problem is step 7 is not done properly, that's why it can't see the backup.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
That logcat are warnings, not the reason for the bootloop. As usual the bootloop is due to some files changed by root app/binary.

I just got back my internet line today after it was down since last Wednesday, I'll upload 4.19.841.9 backup later tonight.

You can restore the whole backup then restore your own data partition so you have everything set up, or you can restore the system partition only but leave your data.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
First - edit your post to remove serial no. & imei no. (that's personal info)

Your firmware is not really old, that's lollipop firmware so you won't have any problem to install any lollipop custom ROM.

But .. it's wise to update your current level 4.19.707.2 to 4.19.707.4

You can restore 4.19.707.2 backup that I have on post #3 then install 4.19.707.2 stock recovery (post #4) then do OTA to 4.19.707.4 (this will take your firmware at par as 4.16.401.13)

After OTA, you can install TWRP 2.8.7.0 to install your favorite custom ROM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titanmmilton:
Got it, thanks very much for the advice.

I will then proceed to download Nandroid Backup : 4.19.707.2

From there, I will proceed to download the OTA and upgrade to 4.19.707.4.

Subsequently will flash latest TWRP to install custom roms.

Thanks very much.

As I mentioned, they have a dedicated thread for AT&T which I already gave you link. You should ask there for helps.

General requirements to run a RUU :

Windows PC with USB 2.0

Latest HTC USB drivers are installed - Download HTC Sync Manager and install, then uninstall Sync Manager but leave the drivers.

You may also needs some microsoft visual C++ distributable files installed

and a relocked/locked bootloader for S-On device.

You also can search some previous threads on how to run RUU ... or make a new thread to ask because this thread is all about nandroid backups. (other than AT&T, Verizon & Sprint)

You have the AT&T variant. RUUs are available, so returning to stock and updating the phone is as easy as relocking the bootloader (if its unlocked) and running the RUU on a PC.

Just be aware, the RUU will wipe the phone (user data and internal storage, everything but removable SD). So backup any data you want to keep (to removable SD or off phone, such as on your computer)

before

RUU.

2. Run the RUU.exe (no need to connect your device) and no need to accept agreement

3. Open the TEMP folder, you'll see two new folders are created.

4. Copy out ROM.zip from one of these folders

5. close the RUU as it won't work as you mentioned (due to some missing required files in Windows)

6. Download the htc_fastboot.exe - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8L4pkbzdlR3eTlJSjdKVEdHX1U/view

7. Put both htc-fastboot.exe and ROM.zip in your adb/fastboot folder

10. Run below commands :

fastboot oem rebootRUU

htc_fastboot flash zip ROM.zip

I dont want to take up too much time on this thread but I would like to say that i am back to stock with both helps.

The first way I did it was with the bootable RUU zip -- but i did an older version, and ATT wouldnt let me update for at least a day -- didnt want to wait.

To get to the latest, I had to run the exe -- but it didnt work as expected. So I used the method above. Though you linked the fastboot, the exe that had the rom.zip had the fastboot too, so I used that one. This lead me to find out why the ruus never really worked. My antivirus didnt trust the htc_fastboot exe, and kept preventing it from running.

SOOOOOOO.... For anyone else that might be having this problem, disable your antivirus before you run the RUU and you wont have to waste so much time.

Just wanted to give an update after everyone helped me.

If you do have wifi problem, then you may need to restore 3.36.599.2.
