My HTC One (M8) has been kept bone stock for now, but I'd like to update to 1.58.502.1 and then bootloader unlock, root, and firewater S-OFF. Can anyone confirm whether it is still possible after applying 1.58.502.1 OTA?

I'll chime in as well.
I dropped my Nexus 5 on Wednesday (5/14) and shattered the screen .. As in glass is actually missing and you can see circuit board .. So I bought the HTC One (M8) from AT&T. I came home and first thing I did was pull the update from AT&T (200+mb). and once it completed I:
Got my 65mb space from Google Drive
rooted
installed a custom recovery
installed a custom ROM (ARHD5.5)
and finally did the s-off.
I am a happy camper!
I'm just curious, what was the HBOOT version before the 1.58 update? It's 3.16.0.0000 after, so I'm wondering if this update just didn't include a new HBOOT which is why we are lucky this time around.
I do thoroughly hate to Jack a thread, but I see that you were able to get your 50GB of space from Google (plus the 15GB of free space), something I simply can not make happen... I have tried following instructions found online, as well as having contacted Google, still waiting for response though, is anybody else having this problem, I get no prompt for activating any sort of promotion or anything.
Sorry, it just jumped into my mind, but I thought I'd ask, and if anybody has a link to a solution would be great!
Thanks for taking the time...

So I reset the Google app a total of three times, as well as having reset my phone once, and on the third it was finally able to get it to pull up the redemption offer. So, for anybody else still having the redemption problem AFTER the update, you may need to reset the app and/or your device for it to present you with the offer.
This actually wasn't offered for the AT&T variant so you got lucky. From what I've read, only international and dev phones got it

They do offer it for AT&T.
I own an AT&T model, and I had to hit up HTC chat to redeem it but they gave it to me. On the official changelog for the 1.58 build on HTC's website for the AT&T variant, one line is "Fix for Google Drive promotion redemption."
Ah, I stand corrected. Thanks for the heads up. Won't really do me much good as I have 65gb of space in drop box where I've only used 10gb but others could certainly benefit for sure

Same here, I got mine from the Galaxy S3 promo so my dropbox space expires this summer. So by doing this I can point my Google Drive storage folder to my Dropbox storage folder, and presto, data transferred and safe for another 2 years.

HA! Same here. Got my promo with my s3 but I just recently redeemed the space after cleaning up my email box. Totally forgot about it lol.
I went to the HTC website and chatted with a rep. He asked if I unlocked and I said yes. Apparently you can't redeem the space after unlocking. Even relocking still shows in the HTC system that the device was unlocked so...no drive space for me. Hopefully I'll never need to utilize warranty.
Edit: just saw your edit. May try that myself or if it fails again might just contact the big G
Double ninja edit: Chatted with a second rep and was denied again

Some people had luck trying this: Get them on the horn again, and if they asked if you unlocked, say you requested a token but when you were presented with the warning you changed your mind and did not unlock your phone because you didn't know it would void the warranty and you wanted to keep that intact. They can only prove up to them emailing you an unlock token, they can't say what you do after that.
