Hello I have a M8 variant 502 (AT&T). It is S-ON. I was messing around the firmware to find something that woud allow my phone to work with newer ROM bases. Then, I found the GPE firmware 3.11.1700.5 to somehow be compatible with CWS_001 (cidnum and modelid match). The phone allowed me to flash that GPE firmware. This is where the issue rises.
- Now my M8 has become a GPE. It only flashes GPE roms successfully. Other Sense-based ROM flashes result in a failed symplinks. I want to use SENSE inferface, which is the whole point of me buying this M8.
- The newest RUU 4.4.4 from HTC does not run on my phone, error 155 (unknown).
- TWRP recovery of my original 4.4.2 ROM also fails at 50%.
What I have tried thus far, but not working
. Flashed different SENSE ROMs 4.4.4 and below
. Ran the newest 3.42.502.1 RUU, error 155 (bootloader relocked, 1.58.502.2 recovery)
. Tried flashing firmware made by SneakyGhost, error signature
. Tried flashing firmware 1.58.502.2 error 43 main version check fail
My thought is that Google-Play-Edition firmware has different filepath than Sense-firmware. The 3.48.502.1 RUU is not properly signed/uploaded on HTC. I regret flashing that gpe firmware. What I don't want to do is to S-Off for $25, for now. My hope is for a signed 3.42.502.1 firmware so I could move back to Sense ROMs.
Anyone or expert can give me some insights? If you get your hands on the 3.48.502.1 firmware signed, I'd appreciate that, please.
You've been messing around with things you don't fully understand, and guessing at solutions. This is a very dangerous thing while modding phones.
- You shouldn't have flashed a GPE firmware if you want Sense. Why did you do this to begin with? If the intent was to get on 3.x firmware, you could have just did OTA or RUU to official 3.48.
- You can't flash a firmware that isn't signed with s-on
- You can't flash an older firmware with s-on
My recommendation is stop messing around and s-off by sunshine. But as you've flashed the GPE firmware, its questionable sunshine will even work.
I've seen a couple other folks get into a (from what I can tell) unrecoverable position by messing about with GPE firmware while s-on. Hopefully, you aren't in that same spot.
I'm sorry but my reply is going to sound rude
First of all, let me apologize but this reply to the post above is going to sound rude.
I own my phone. I can do whatever I want with it, just like any other person who owns an M8. Furthermore, there is a very clear line between modding a S-on device and a S-off one. My device is S-on. Go back and read my post fully, ffs. If any part of it is incomprehensible, I will gladly reword it with other English words that are easier to understand. Why do you even bother re-asking me the questions which I have gone to great length to try finding an answer on my own, before posting here, and have provided the possible answers I found?
To satisfy your little curiosity, no, I was not aware of 3.48 by the time I flashed. I was digging in the HTC M8 forum, only later to find out that there was another subforum for the 502 M8. All the things about unsigned firmwares unable to flash with S-on I am well aware of, thank you very much for unnecessarily googling that for me. If your reason to be here is to ask "why" this and "why" that, don't be here. This is Q&A section; if XDA is only intended for whoever is well versed at phone modding, might as well close it down and open your own forum, or business, like those fake sites. I am aware of Sunshine may S-off my phone. Again, go back and re-read my post, if you care. At this point, it is not justified enough to make me think $25 is worth using a SENSE rom, that my phone is supposed to be made for, not counting firmwares of course. Once more time, my intention here is to look for a properly signed 3.48.502.1 firmware, or useful advice. It does not take a well educated person to google Sunshine. But it does take a stuck up fool to think common knowledge is his best recommendation. Let me tell you something interesting, in case you haven't known/read, my phone runs GPE ROMs just fine.
Move on.

I absolutely agree that its your phone and you can do what you like to it. But your subsequent comments just fall apart after that.
Yes, this is a Q&A section. But XDA is, and has always been a place where the best results will come to those that search, learn and research before acting; instead of jumping in blindly.
And instead of giving a fake apology about sounding rude, then flinging out insults and name calling; how about just taking a breath and not doing those things at all. You may have not found my post helpful. But it was intended to help, and unlike your post, did not contain any insults, personal attacks, or name calling. Just pure and simple facts. If its facts that you find insulting, its you that XDA is not the place for. With over 3,500 thanks from other members, my contribution here is hardly questionable.

Ironically, its very clear for this comment that it is you that did not bother to fully read my post. as the last paragraph of my previous posts clearly states: there have been at least a couple folks on this forum that have rendered their phones inoperable due to messing about with GPE RUUs and/or GPE firmware (on a non-GPE device) while S-on.
Just because you are s-on, doesn't guarantee that your messing with the phone will not have a similar result.
Yes, s-off is not for everyone, and not needed for a lot of things. But it gives a heck of a lot more flexibility to mod or recover, and that is a simple fact.

Again, an incorrect assertion that I did not understand what you posted. If you were completely satisfied with your present position, you obviously wouldn't have started this thread in the first place.
Please seriously re-read my OP
I warned readers that my reply was going to be rude. There was nothing fake about it. Ever heard "I'm sorry but it is going to hurt quite a bit"? To me, your contribution or greatness or w/e it is, was reduced to ash the moment you boasted about it, period. Real.men.do.not.brag. Please don't be like those 21st century internet folks who enjoy collecting virtual 'likes' or 'thanks.' Do respected developers seek that kind of faux reputation? I doubt it.
Your post gave no help, not even a single new thing to the table. It was simply googled facts that I have clearly presented in my OP. I already stated, twice, no S-off is considered for now. Yet, Sunshine was adamantly brought up by you at two separate instances. Please stop, the way you are marketing for them make Sunshine devs look bad; although I know those devs aren't. If buying S-Off is the only thing you could think of, stop regurgitating it here every single time, keep it to yourself please until someone asks specifically how to S-off, thank you very much. I know very well how convenient it is to achieve S-off, and that's exactly why they want $25 for it now.

Did you ever read my post like you meant it? Let me help you out again here: I said I was looking for a firmware compatible with newer base SENSE ROMS, and ended up with 3.19.1700.1 because it was signed by HTC for CWS_001, successfully, mind you. Now I am being assumed that I feel happy about GPE roms. Goodness gracious... It really doesn't take a stuck up guy much time to come up with many hasty assumptions, does it?
Ok let me dumb down what kind of help I am looking for:
. How to extract signed firmware 3.42.502.1
. If not possible, how to obtain signed firmware 3.42.502.1
. Do HTC release their signed firmwares separately from the RUUs?
Moving on.

Sooooo you come to the Q&A looking for help then you are rude and post in this manner to those trying....
Bottom-line you want Sense, they you must run Sense firmware, and if won't be able to really much of anything regarding Flashing ROM's or any development, until you are S-Off which the only thing in "town" is to pay the $$ and move on and then do super CID. So you will be able to flash any firmware.
This is how most on the M8 Community are doing, it going S-off and super CID, in order to flash or run any development.
If not then take it back to stock and stay stock, more searching on your part can answer your questions, but Good Luck, in getting help with Views: 271 and only one that tried to provide assistance....

To those who faithfully think that S-off is the only one-and-only-solution, please keep it to yourself and move along. I can very well google it because Sunshine is a commercial service, it's all over the place. Thank you very much.
For the third time, in my third post, I am going to restate my intention here is to seek a SIGNED FIRMWARE 3.42.502.1. or how to extract one from the RUU/OTA :fingers-crossed:

Ok, here is another try: If you know something about signed firmware 3.42.502.1, please educate me. If you know absolutely nothing about this signed firmware, please refrain from posting your response as it is probably going to be irrelevant. Thank you very much for comprehending :fingers-crossed:

I have been less than pleased with my verizon Titan ever since I have had it. It runs very slow. At least twice a week, I have to remove the battery to unfreeze. The other day, I was in a patients room and noticed that her husband had a phone just like mine. I asked him if he liked it and he said that he loved it. I expressed some of my frustrations and he directed me to this website, telling me that he had installed a new radio and kitchen etc and that it now worked great. Looking at some of the websites, I have only become confused and a bit scared to try and tweak my phone. I do not know where to start.
Will somebody give me or direct me to simple idiot proof instructions on how to unlock/unleash the powers of this phone? I need instructions written for someone who knows nothing about altering smartphones.
Thanks in Advance
Not to be rude, but did you even read the stickies on the forum? Plz read the wiki's gather as much knowledge as you can about the subject and then take the plunge. You will find that the wiki's are most helpful. I would update to DCD's latest ROM and get the latest radio.
You will also find out that alot of basic apps don't come with his ROMs. Make sure you get a list of what you need on your phone before you take the plunge. Get a backup program like PIM backup.
Do searches. Research on your own. nobody here is going to do that for you. People created these wiki's for a reason. USE THEM.
In all truthfulness you should not hack your phone unless you know what you are doing. The wikis and threads are very daunting even to those who have some knowledge of what is going on.
Not trying to be rude, but maybe you need a different phone. One that works the way you want it to work right out of the box.
Best case scenario, even if you manage to fumble your way thru the wikis and then later flash your rom, are you going to be able to recover if you get stuck in the bootloader?
The wikis have the info that you need. But like learning medicine you have to apply yourself.

Yes, this is the official sprint 6.1 update with 3.42.02 radio. Non sprint customers can use it to flash the radio only (if you can't via sd card), but again CAN'T let customizations run. Non sprint customers will have to wait until the custom rom is released.

There are different methods to flash your rom, and different choices for rom updates. Read up on all of them. Trust me, you will need the info sooner or later.
Like it says in the DCD thread you need to unlock your phone, you need a rom, radio, and a carrier. I just flashed my sprint titan for the first time and just about cried when it got stuck in the bootloader.

What an amazing concept, you read the forum.
Unfortunately that many guides offer what I feel to be short-cuts. It may be fine if everything goes perfectly, but the problem with such simplifications is that new people can find themselves stuck in unfamiliar territory.
People should be take the time to be aware of background to what they are doing to their phones. Personally, I'd rather recommend taking care to understand the Wiki as myself and others have made the effort to cover many possibilities and recovers when flashing.
Hysterical that the poster identifies himself as a trauma surgeon. Lets hope that if any of us is ever unlucky enough to find ourselves on the other end of the scalpel from this joker, that he isn't standing at the table saying "how do you do this?", and might have taken the time to read up first.
There is no correlation between Surgeon and Computer literacy. My wife's cousin in finishing up Med school and is as bright as they come yet not computer savy beyond common tasks.
As for the actual question he needs not to worry. Using the link with Step by Step to the Verizon upgrade will go easy for you. I only suggest doing the radio via SD card and Rom via USB.

Its not the correlation, its the attitude.
Interesting attitudes here
I will start of first saying thank you to those of you who actually are trying to help. For the rest of you, yes I did search the forum and yes I did read the Wiki. I still did not feel like I understood things well enough to run the risk of "bricking" my phone. (That is new lingo for those of us who don't spend all of our time on computers) Of course I could spend 10 or 20 hours or more, learning more about the phone, which would mean that some time in October I might have it figured out. My job simply does not give me the time to spend hours and hours trying to tweak my phone. I am in the hospital 110 to 120 hours a week (not a month). I feel lucky when I get a few minutes with my wife and kids. But rest assured, when you crash you car and you are bleeding to death, I am there for you just as I am for everyone else. So for the rest of you who are too cocky and to much of a smartass to help someone else out, I ask what in the world are you doing in this forum anyway. I would predict that you are only in here to take what others are here to give OR just here to try and belittle or make others feel stupid.
traumasurg, well aren't you special?

Get off your high horse, exceptional ego, relax, and take the time to respectfully learn. Only a single comment here may have generalised and only slightly went over-board, but none were as bad as your absolute swipe against this community -- your second post to XDA.... ebb pegged it, as you do have a horrible attitude. You may have made a far better first impression by not posting your introduction to the forum as a request for a short-cut to flashing your phone without also stating that you had paid notice to the Wiki and current threads concerning flashing guides.... If you had trouble understanding, then why did you fail to state exactly where you went out-of-depth? If terminology is "new lingo" to you then did you at least cover the basics of basic in our Wiki's Titan for Beginners?
You come in here looking for help yet some of us were quite polite, accurate and specific in warning that you should not rush forward with short-cuts before being aware of what you are doing and how to recovery. Links to help were provided to you before in between your two posts. Your phone is possibly your critical property so you should avoid messing with it if unsure upon ensuring that you can maintain its function.
Warning for you in the future -- don't join a tech forum insult all as shut-in computer geeks who owe our life to you. This is an anonymous forum, and therefore all are potentially equal here. What distinguishes members is their decorum of respect and a display of an effort to learn.

Look, I in no way implied that everyone in here is a shut-in computer geek, although I have no doubt that some are. If you look back over the replies to my original post, there were a couple of members who showed anything but respect. In fact, two of them even posted twice to my original question without any useful information and replied only to in effect say "look how stupid this guy is." If you were on the other end of that reply, what would you think of those here in this forum? There were however several other responses, yours included, that were helpful. Yes I did read through the Wiki and I also had previously looked at two other websites given me by my patient's husband. It was mostly greek to me. That is why I posted.
I must say, I have been in several different forums, dirtbiking, cycling, climbing, trauma, as well as other computer forums and I have never met such attitudes that I met in here this week.
I'll probably just get an iphone next week.

sucks to be you...
and since there is only 168 hours in a week and you say 120 of it is for work... that leaves you with 48 hours of sleeping time... which would be a little less than 7 hours of sleep a day... how do you eat? how do you shower? how do you get laid? no wonder the attitude... if no one else understands... I do
It is tough for some to answer the same questions that are (I promise) explained in the wiki. The hope is that most people would understand and be able to follow through with the instructions, but this is not for anyone, similar to HAM radio and FTA satellite.
I encourage you to go for the iphone, it seems more your speed.
Alright traumasurg, I can understand being a noob sucks. So here is a breakdown of what you should do if you want to get your phone with a new rom and gps radio.
That stock rom wont work with GPS radio. You need a non-stock rom for it to work.
Get this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402920
Get this radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403280
use this as a guide: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome
Once the rom is installed assuming you have verizon, run the carrier cab.
Get carrier cab here: http://www.lifesnotsogood.com/dcd1182/carriers/dcd Verizon Carrier 20080706.cab
Remember you will need to install the new boot loader first. Then do the rest according to instructions there.
Also, make sure you have another phone handy or a land-line handy for when u call verizon. To get it re-authenticated. You will need to do this whenever u go from a non-gps radio to a gps one. (I reccomend doing this during business hours so u dont freak and wont be able to contact them until they open in the morning)
Oh yeah make sure you backup your contacts to outlook(activesync) or use Pimbackup or your gonna be pissed off.
Okay. I posted my first ever question/request for advice the other day and, despite 79 views, I have had no response. Perhaps it was too dull for those who are more accomplished with all things Android and everybody assumed that somebody else would answer.
Perhaps within the morass of information on these forums the answers are already out there. Maybe, but who knows. In other forums people tend to at least say - look there for answers - and post a link to another thread. But, it has been Christmas and I guess we are all pretty busy this time of year - Merry Christmas to all by the way
So, I thought I would re-shape my question/needs here.
Could anybody give me, or at least point me in the direction of, a glossary of terms type of thing?
I need to know things like what does 'radio' mean? How does it relate to the 'flashing' process' , And any other terms which people take for granted as being blindingly obvious, but which may not be to those of us very inexperienced. This forum can be quite daunting, but still, enquiring minds wanna know
Any help, again, appreciated.

I would've loved to answer but perhaps you need to be more specific on what you want to be answered
you said you wanted to have 2.3.5 on ur DHD,but that doesn't tell anyone what you are asking for,if you are asking us to find a ROM for you,or how to flash a recovery first,or how to flash the ROM !
You should have to provide us more specific data, phone, model, rooted or stock, etc. It is normal that why you don't get replies.

HI, and thank you. Also apologies for my woolly question. And this is kind of my problem. When new to this even the questions I want answered are not always asked correctly. I was hoping to find a ROM for my Desire HD which has Sense 3.0. I have Gingerbread on the phone currently with Sense 2.1.
To be completely humble and honest, which I find to be the best way in almost all cases, I must say that I am not even sure what "how to flash a recovery" means, or "how to flash the ROM".
So, as you see, I am really new to this and feeling my way around. I am a quick learner though so I really just need bringing up to speed on a few of the basics and then I am sure I will be able to research my way around.
Anyway, thank you for your kind reply. I wasn't trying to be shirty with my post. I meant what I said - it is Christmas and I am sure people look in over the holidays but it is a busy time for everybody. I hope I have not caused offence.
Can I contact you on your email,i find that more easily accessible!

Please read before you do anything at all. From your posts it is plain you are very new to Modding so it is very important you understand what your doing as it void your warrenty and if done wrong can brick your device. Start with the stickies in the DHD section and read those a couple of times. Then check the Q&A and read there as well.
As mentioned, read the stickies in your section, there should be a lot of information there. In my device's subfora, there are great stickies chocked full of information. If we had the same device, I'd post some links for you. There's also a glossary of sorts stickied in the Thunderbolt section. Not everything in it will apply to your device but it may help with some general terms.
Before I even rooted my device, I read all of the stickies and recommended links. I then read over the Q&A and general subfora just to get a feel for it. What I read didn't make a lot of sense at the time, but later I remembered it and it made more sense. I then rooted my device, then read and read and read before flashing my first rom (CM6 - it was a while back).
It's a process, and the more you read the more you'll understand, until eventually you can start answering some of the questions that go unanswered. Just give it time... and make sure that you know exactly what you're doing - and why - before you jump in to something.
Good luck!

Hi there Zendel.
Apologies for the lateness of this reply. Been a busy day. I wanted to say thanks for the advice and to also fill in a couple of blanks, if I may.
You are quite correct, I am very new to modding and my only fear is buggering it up, as we say in Lancashire lol. However, it has already been rooted by a friend who took me through the process over the phone some months ago.
When I first got the phone it was with Orange and had all that Orange junk and splash screen etc. Hence, my friend talked me through rooting and installing a standard factory ROM. It was a lot to take in and, at the time, I didn't make any notes along the way, which would have helped me now - hindsight is a wonderful thing, as they say.
More recently he pointed me at a link to a RUU (is that right?) so that I could upgrade from Froyo 2.2 to Gingerbread 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1 - so, in a nutshell, void warranty is no longer a concern
I have taken a look at some of the stickies, though I have not studied them intensely at this point. I will spend more time looking however and come back, perhaps, with more questions - or at least more relevant questions I should hope

Hey everyone, I am stuck. Finally got around to playing, and ran the Brightstar RUU to change phone into Dev edition. Everything went perfect thanks to all these great threads here, but now I don't have ANY recovery installed. I didn't notice if it was gone after S-Off'ing, or after the RUU, but now nothing. Has anyone heard of this, and can I put a recovery back on? I DL'd a stock, but I really would like CWM. If anyone can point me in the right direction, much thanks.

Hey, I wanted to thank everyone for NOT posting any answers. Through the help of these forums, I was able to muddy my way through and find the solutions that I seek. Another learning experience for sure. Solution is that even though phone was S-Off, the bootloader had to be RE-unlocked to flash a recovery. But I am sure everyone but me knew that
Moderator can delete/close this thread thanks.

Sorry I didn't see your question in time, just so you know (or i guess you figured out), no-one really monitors the at&t forums. In it's best times their were only about 25 of us in here. In the future take your questions and concerns to the international One forums and you'll have much better luck. At one time their was talk of combining the two forums because all the GSM phones are basically identical.

AFAIK camera is broken in all new KitKat roms. If you need working cameras use Jelly Bean or ICS builds.

Before flashing, did you even bother to read through any of the dev or Q&A threads, or do you always just blindly install the most critical software for any device without thought or ramifications of the consequences? To put it bluntly, it shows a profound carelessness at best, or at worse, willful ignorance. Every dev thread here lists either in the first or second post a list of known bugs with their ROMs. ALL versions of KitKat regardless of the author have serious issues at the moment. Even the most casual of glances would have revealed this to you. To start a new thread over a known major issue is a redundant waste of time and bandwidth.
May I suggest that in the future, you at least take a minute or two, to read through and familiarize yourself with what you're undertaking before doing so, in order to prevent wasting everyone else's time with your complaining about a very well known issue.
Edit: Sorry I came on so strong. Listen, everyone was a newbie once, but it's not an excuse for acting like one. You may not have many posts, but you've been here for awhile. There's a wealth of info on the posts pinned to the top of the forums, including board etiquette. If you discover what you think is a bug or if you have an issue, you should post in the Q&A thread for that ROM. But before posting there, you should read through both the Q&A and dev thread to see if it's already known from being previously reported. This keeps clutter off the board and focuses problem solving to the proper channels.

FYI Spanky, I'm no kid, I'm a 51yo man, a truck driver (Teamsters Local 769), who could drop you in a heartbeat. If I (someone with no formal IT training and a HS diploma from 30 years ago) can figure this out in my off-time, between dealing with work, and my family, what's your excuse? All you had to do was look at my profile before speaking out of the wrong orifice, and you'd know this.
It appears you're even less capable than I gave you credit for in my previous post, since you show a proclivity for being unable to read or do research, and have wedged your foot so far into you mouth that it's impossible to extricate. I've forgotten more than you've ever learned (obviously not a high bar to leap over). Unlike yourself, I contribute here towards providing useful info and help to others who're willing to help themselves. Hence, my high ratio of thanks to posts in a short time here. You, on the other hand, have never provided one bit of useful information in your much longer time on the board (which is easily verified by searching your previous posts).
I don't pretend to be smarter than you, I know I am! That's because I have enough common sense to know my abilities and limitations, something you obviously lack. You seem to have selected an apropos handle, "Insectman." So by all means, obliviously continue along in your vacuous ways, and slither back into the damp crevice you were hiding in. Have a nice day!!!!

You're also very rude.
You wasted more time insulting the guy than you did helping him. While I do support use of the search function sometimes it is not so clear cut for people. The first response you typed out was extremely unwarranted IMHO. This one, not much better. You seem to have quite the ego.

I'm sorry, he's rude? LOL Bruh, look at his thanks meter. He's HELPING people. He knows his stuff, so he deserves to have an ego. ESPECIALLY since he built his own ROM.
But I guess you're too fat headed yourself to be humble and accept the fact that this thread could have been avoided if the OP had just read the changelog. Let's face it, if by some mishap the OP had bricked his device he'd be crying for help (just like I did) and I know for a fact that I didn't read anything before (cause I was stupid, and I can acknowledge the fact that I used to be ignorant and now I take the time to read through the forums properly before I post unnecessarily, and Ody here has helped me a great deal.)
So before you go calling people rude and judge them prematurely, take a minute to really think about what you want to post.
PS. he did apologize, so I see no need for you to be bashing him still. I, on the other hand, don't give a damn.
I'm bored, so I went through the Q&A
Remind me not to do this again.
@Darin_Ram, thanks for your strong defense. I do greatly appreciate it, however, the truth of the matter is that @sam_conrad is correct. I was rude to the OP. No matter how much good I do in assisting others here it doesn't mitigate the matter, because two wrongs don't make a right. I lost my cool when I read the comments he directed towards me and lashed out in an unbecoming manner. For this there is no excuse. If my kids had behaved in such a way I would have had a conniption, so I should expect no less from myself.
Thanks again for your heartfelt comments.

This is a much more noble reply. While you're extremely helpful to the community, and I never disagreed that you are, it's no excuse to be an ass. There is never a "deserving right" to be rude in any case. In my world, at least, the people treat each other with respect or they're gone. I know that I don't have time to deal with people that don't want to move forward and get along. Regardless of how stupid some peers might seem, or how smart one may believe he/she is, I think showing some humility and always staying grounded goes a long way.
I often tell people that some of the world's greatest minds are the dumbest of us all - some of your behavior represented why. When we're in an advantaged position of knowledge, we should encourage others to learn from us, not the other way around.
@Darin_Ram - no need to throw personal jabs at me, trying to tell me I'm full of myself (or "fat headed"), please and thank you. I don't claim to be a genius in any regard, and especially not the mobile space. I just have found Ody on a few too many accounts to be unnecessarily rude... My own focus is on computer networking and desktop PCs. :good: I usually reside at XtremeSystems.org and HWBOT.org due to my hobby of extreme LN2 overclocking.

Well awhile ago, shortly after I got my AT&T M8, I decided to try and turn it into Google Play Edition. Somewhere along the way while in the process of doing S-OFF, something went wrong. I kept getting errors and couldn't get anything to flash. So I gave up and got the LG G3 and put the M8 aside for a bit. Well now I want to use it again, and along the way of "tinkering", I've managed to wipe TWRP, relocked the bootloader, have no OS and still S-OFF. I can boot into recovery or boot to the HTC screen so its not completely gone yet from what Ive researched.
Would anyone be willing to help me out in getting this thing back to stock Sense or point me in the right direction? I want it completely stock, without root or custom recovery. I'd rather a good step by step, if someone would be willing. I can't seem to piece together all of the information i need to do this myself. Thanks!

Just RUU as suggested in the previous response.
I suggest leaving your phones stock, unless you are willing to put in the time to read, research, and obtain some real knowledge.
Step-by-step guides and toolkits are dangerous things. As you see, they just get you into trouble without giving you the knowledge or tools to get out of that jam.
I'm surprised you've modded as many phones as you say, and haven't gotten any real knowledge to this point. Either you are very humble; or your story is a testament to the fact that such step-by-step guides shouldn't be posted in the first place.

Thank you for your response but unfortunately I find it extremely arrogant and asinine. The fact is that I have put in a lot of time and knowledge to understand what I am doing. I may not have a conventional degree in coding as you might but I am able to successfully mod my phones by browsing forums like this where you can find an abundance of knowledge, especially step-by-step guides, as you are so against. If you are so against step by step guides then maybe you can be the voice about banning them from this forum. Do you see how I am a new member? I am one of the few that actually search the forums instead of posting another thread asking the same questions. Ive used tools and information from this site for a very long time without having to post one single thing until a few days ago. And this is the response I get? I was even humble enough in my screen name to call myself stupid because, with this specific issue, I knew it had to be something stupid that i was missing. You shouldn't tell people that step by step guides are dangerous things. All it takes is some balls and some command lines and you can accomplish many things. Have I messed up my phones and others before? Yes, but i had never run into a situation I haven't been able to get myself out of. To me, tinkering around, as a hobby, is fun. Like now, as I watch Sunday NFL Countdown, I am about to dust off my Nexus 5 and flash Lollipop on it. Guess what I am going to use? A STEP BY STEP GUIDE!!!! If I mess it up, then Im sure I wouldn't be the first to do so and Im sure Ill find a solution on great forums like this. Besides, my rooted/unlocked OnePlus One is my main phone. I wanted to play around with the M8 again to see if I would miss the smaller screen but I don't. So, thank you for just repeating the first response then proceeding to insult me because you think i don't have the skills needed to mod my devices. I will continue to do so however I please, just as many others will. Either contribute to threads or ignore them. No need for the insults. You've also insulted many other members who have posted tools and step by step guides on this specific site.

I actually did RUU but it ended up that I had a corrupt RUU file. I redownloaded it and put it on the MicroSD card and it worked like a charm. Thank you for your quick response.

Quite frankly, incorrect on both points. You don't understand what an insult is, and there is nothing insulting in my post. If you read my post carefully, you will see there is no actual personal attack or insults.

Contrary to what you suggest, backing up the previous suggestion is added value; as it adds credibility and consensus to the previous solution.

Its just a suggestion, and note that its conditional. Therefore, if you meet the latter part of the statement, the first part doesn't apply to you.

I stand by this statement. I've seen dozens dozens of instances where such tools just arm people with enough "knowledge" to get them into trouble, and don't equip them with any tools to get them out. Its then left to folks like me to even start to get these folks on the right track.
I'll step back a bit from my statement that these tools "shouldn't be posted in the first place". I'll agree that step-by-step guides and toolkits might be useful if combined with the proper research, learning and understanding. But in and of themselves, they can easily lead newcomers astray.

I already gave you the benefit of the doubt here, but you chose to react defensively and in my opinion, unreasonably.
In any case, as far as your knowledge and background, we can only go by what you've stated; and you clearly stated yourself as a "careless tinkerer" and "stumbled" upon solutions. Now in your later post you say "I have put in a lot of time and knowledge to understand what I am doing". So if you provide conflicting information as to your background, nobody can be blamed for making an incorrect assumption regarding your knowledge.
