So I recently converted to the Digitalhigh GPE 5.0.1 ROM and I loved it....until my Google Maps and GPS stopped working. I realize there might be a fix, but I would rather convert back to Sense because the 5.0 update is coming soon anyways. for the record I have the Verizon M8 and I used the weaksauce + sunshine exploit to get s-off and unlock the bootloader. I just really want Sense back for now. Please, I'm extremely desperate.

You can flash the s-off ruu I have posted in the dev section. It's rooted and will put your firmware and Rom back to stock.

Hello everyone,
I am looking for help with my HTC M8 I am running custom Rom Venom. I would like to upgrade to the newly released Verizon 4.4.4. However since I have TWRP this is not happening. I also used sunshine to achieve unlock and S-off. So my questions are
1) What is the best way to flash back to stock or do I want to ?
2) If a flash to stock will I loose what sunshine gave me ( unlock & S-off )
3) Can I do a manual flash of the OTA
Thanks in advance everyone !! Love this Forum XDA !!

There are plenty of 4.4.4 roms you can flash in the development section...just make sure you update your firmware first. Super easy to do (much easier than returning to stock to take OTA).
Read the OP in this thread carefully and you'll have what you need.

Hi, I installed Android Revolution HD 30.1 but I get an issue with the WiFi and I learn that I have to update my firmware to 3.xx but I can't go in S-off... This means that I can't get Lollipop on my m8?
Hi
Please Read the first post carefully,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282
You can update firmware, but you still will need to wait for Lollipop, as it's not out yet for Sense.
If course everything is easier and you will get Lollipop far quicker, with s-off.
Google Sunshine app for that method.
Good luck!
I've read mixed things about unlocking the bootloader of my VZW One M8 5.0.1 that's completely stock. Is the bootloader unlockable? Can't I just use the process on htcdev.com?

HTCdev has never worked for htc m8 VZW devices. You're stuck locked for now until (hopefully) sunshine is updated for VZW M8s on 5.01

Fixed your above post. I still have multiple htc devices on vzw that I still have the HTC dev unlock token for. The most recent being my vzw htc one m7. Idiots forgot to block it on launch day.

THanks, I should have specified the M8. I do remember a few M7s slipping through right after release that could be unlocked.
In any event anyone thinking they can go that route with an M8 it is a dead end.
Still no Sunshine in my M8
Hi guys, 8 months later and I guess there's still no chance of rooting an Android 5.0.1 VZN HTC M8? I have tried everything so far and as this post concludes, the HTCDev tool won't unlock the phone and Sunshine requests a pre-rooted phone. Any work arounds out there? I'm trying to wipe and install a stock HTC rom and bin the VZN.

Yes there's been a method that works. Find my downgrade thread in the general section. After downgrading use kingroot to get root and then sunshine to s-off.
PS come out from under your rock sooner than 8 months !

Thank you, I'll search for the guide and see if I can follow it!
So I traded my LG g2 for a Verizon HTC One m8 so far I love it. The phone was on the official lollipop update sadly. I know as of now I am stuck. But will I always be stuck or is there a root exploit in the makings?

Nothing is a given but the team that is likely working on this has a good track record with HTC devices, so it is likely just a matter of time.
Thanks for the reply! Just waiting patiently. Once sunshine releases an update will it root my phone along with s-off or will a seperate root exploit need to be found first?
Currently, sunshine temproots your phone to get s-off, but not sure how it will be done with 5.0. I've heard lollipop is going to be more difficult to root.
Straight to the point. I have an HTC One M8 (Verizon) and it currently is running Android 6.0 with sense 7.0 / S-On / NON ROOTED
I wish to get rid of ALL Verizon Bloatware and stupid apps that come installed with it. And install the android marshmallow ROM that would come stock on a NON BRANDED M8
Could somebody please reply with a STEP BY STEP easy to follow set of instructions on what I need to do to achieve this.
like using Sunshine to get s-off and rooted. And links to an Official ROM and all that stuff.
And a question. . . . .Will my NON-VERIZON SIM still work after such a procedure? and will mobile data work (without configuring the GSM settings, which I had to do when I first got it)?
I am in New Zealand if that affects anything.
If somebody is willing to help me out I will be most thankful
LOL they're gonna just tell you to search and do some reading since everything you need is already on here.
