I have an HTC M8 Asia Taiwan version, but i wanted the European WWE version so I S-OFF and SuperCID.
I followed the guide in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735235 and successfully put my phone to
build 1.54.401.5. I thought with SuperCID I will not get any OTA update but I immediately got a prompt to update to
1.54.401.10. I then downloaded the 1.54.401.10 firmare.zip and flashed it from fastboot. When I run getvar I see my version
is upgraded to 1.54.401.10, but when I turn up my phone , I till see the build number as 1.54.401.5, and I still get a prompt
to update to 1.54.401.10.

First, is this normal? I thought by flashing 1.54.401.10 firmware from fastboot it will upgrade already, but I still see the same build number
and a prompt to update, though from getvar I am running 1.54.401.10.

Second, Can I accept the OTA update with SuperCID? Will it not break the phone?

Thanks

Did you read this part of that thread?

This covers returning an unbranded, European One M8_UL to stock, running 1.54.401.5. It does NOT cover returning carrier-branded handsets back to stock, nor other country unbranded variants - only the EU model

Obviously not or you ignored it. OK

2nd...Also it states during the rebootRUU process to make sure you flash twice as it usually shows a fail first time round. This isn't a request. Usually you'll get a flush fail first time

I can only assume the phone is working but you are taking a gamble not reading through the OP's instructions. I would try again but this time flash the FW twice to make sure you have success.

Yes.
1. Adb reboot bootloader
2. Fastboot oem rebootRUU
3, After the htc logo displays on the phone, ran:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

I waited till it finished, didnt see any errors, then ran it again the second time as i read somewhere its best to run it again.

Then fastboot reboot.

I knew it was for the european htc but i asked in the thread and was told it would work if i am supercid. I also flashed the firmware twice.

I tried again and same thing.

I tried again, no good.
As I have said I have been following the steps n the link properly.
I also know it is intended for european htc but i thought soff and supercid will allow my device to run any firmware
thus I can make it look like a stock European WWE version
