Are there any stock/clean Marshmallow 'custom' ROMs than I can flash on TWRP ?

My HTC One M8 has unlocked bootloader but is on 'stock' Android 5.0.1. I would like to upgrade to Marshmallow and I think that flashing a custom ROM that is as clean as possible would be easier than re locking my bootloader, flashing stock recovery etc.

Can someone please link me to said ROM if it does exist ? (Android Revolution is Android 6.0 based but it is tweaked a lot)

Thanks

First you got to apply the stock OTA as it includes a MM firmware as well. This is needed to run every single Marshmallow Custom ROM that can be found on this forum.

I cannot run the OTA as I have rooted the phone in the past and have unlocked bootloader and flashed a custom recovery.

Though the easiest way is to find a clean rom and flash it on my custom recovery. Would it work?
Thanks!

First answer to second question: no, as - as I wrote in my last answer - a Marshmallow firmware ist needed.

You got to revert to stock by restoring a stock backup containing a clean, untouched system partition. After restoring you could first flash untouched system partition using fastboot commands and after this the stock recovery. Both the Recovery and the backup have to fit your CID and MID of course.

A detailed guide of how to proceed can be found on this forum using the search.

If done so you could relock the bootloader, update to stock MM, unlock bootloader again, flash custom recovery and flash a custom MM ROM of your liking.

Maybe I can be of help a little bit more. You'll find a lot of backups in this thread, which also includes links to other stock backup threads.

The guide of how to revert back to stock via RUU can be found here an how to do it via TWRP backup (as would be in your case), can be found here.

Hey man, thank you for the links! I have just had time to do the procedure following the instructions on the links you shared with. I have just installed 6.0.0, I hope it's worth the few hours spent on the task :)

I can't wait for the HTC nexus phone...I know that I am done rooting and installing custom ROMS. It was fun..6 years ago haha

"Android is upgrading" so it should be ok I guess..

Thanks again !
